Baptist Church
The Hartwell Baptist Sunday
school has planned to have a special
rally day next Sunday, September
27th. The officers and teachers are
now faithfully canvassing the entire
constituency of the school to get
every one possible to attend next
Sunday. It is hoped that all of the
Baptist people of the entire town and
community will respond to the call
to attend the school Sunday and then
to make Sunday school attendance
their habit.
The officers and teachers for the
ensuing year were elected in confer
ence last Sunday, and from every
standpoint, it seems good for our
Sundav school for this year. These
officers will be duly installed next
Sunday. They will take up their
duties October Ist. , „ , ...
The Rally program for Sunday will
be full of variety and interest from
beginning to the end. Demonstra
tions, songs, speeches and other items
of interest will be given. The di
plomas will be delivered to all of
those pupils who shall be promoted
this year. The Home and Cradle
Roll Departments will be recognized
during the program.
We are expecting to have four
hundred or more in Sunday school at
ten o’clock next Sunday morning.
The Rally exercises will be held in
the church auditorium at the eleven
o’clock hour. It is hoped that en
tire families will be in attendance in
large numbers. The 100 per cent
families will be recognized and count
ed. Make it 100 per cent next
Sunday.
Last Sunday being close of the
conference year at the First Baptist
church of Hartwell, the following
memorial was offered by the Dea
cons of the church:
As the closing of the old fiscal
year and the beginning of the new
draws nigh brings to memory much
reflection of the past that should help
us as we look to the future.
As we plan for the things ahead
we are reminded of the wisdom of
examining our “Chart before we
start.? It is said wise sailors never
risk going to sea without Chart and
Compass.
The church that employs the Bible
as its chart and the Holy Spirit as the
compass and follows the course is
sure to have a journey that will land
it safely in all Christian activities.
The question confronting all Chris
tian churches is, how to meet and
wisely deal with the present issues.
The tendency of the times in some
respects brings joy to the Christian s
heart while in others it seems deplor
able in many ways.
Attention to this is frequently
called in the secular press and by
officials in high places who only speak
from a civil or political point of view.
One of our great men was
apprehensive in his day that a spirit
of lawlessness was pervading the
land. A short time before he died
he said, “Let every lover of liberty
and every well wisher of his pos
terity determine to never violate in
the least degree the laws of his
country and not allow it to be done
if within his power to prevent it.
Let us remember that to violate law
tears to pieces the charter that pro
tects the rights and liberties of all
who are living now and all who are
to live after us. Let reverence for
laws be breathed by every mother in
to the life of the lisping babe that
prattles around her knee. Let it be
written in the primer, let it be taught
in the schools and colleges. Let it
be preached from the pulpit, pro
claimed in legislative halls and en
forced in the courts until respect for
the law becomes the political religion
of the nation.” The Attorney Gen
eral of the United States recently
said, with reference to the lack of
respect for the laws of our country,
“That respect for the law is the one
essential fact of our with
out it civilization falls back into
chaos and ruin.”
What has been said about what
will come to the nation when law’ is
not respected applies with greater
force to the church.
The observation of your Board of
Deacons is, that repeated indulgence
by the church to evil doers results
more in encouraging wrong than in
correcting it. In saying this we
fully appreciate the fact that the
exercise of wisdom and sound dis
cretion must be the method as far
as possible. Unless the proper spirit
and good judgment is prominent the
effort to correct the evil may intro
duce more evil than corrected.
No method that offers apology for
wrong practices will ever correct the
evil. The old Arabian proverb says:
“When w’rong is repeated a few
times it doesn’t seem wrong to the
wrong doer.”
If the habits and practices of those
who compose our church show dis
respect for the laws of the land or
rules of the church it will invite dis
aster and des<oy the influence of the
■church for good.
This introduces to our thinking a
sad condition for the church when
the members for the gratification of
intemperate habits or do questionable
things to promote pecuniary interests
becomes a practice. Take for in
stance the question of Sabbath ob
servance. The tendency seems to
disregard it and treat the divine law
as a demand without meaning or rea
son ; by saying that conditions require
the destruction of its sanctity. This
may seem so to many. If the Heav
enly Father is the author of the con
dition He would never make a law
that it'would be wrong to violate it
to meet a condition. In other words
we do not think that God would make
a commandment to be obeyed and
then be the author of a condition that
would make it necessary to violate
the command to meet the condition,
consequently w r e conclude the condi
tion originated with man and not
with God. The 4th commandment
says, Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy.
The law’ of Georgia says, Any
person who shall pursue his work or
business of his ordinary calling on
the Lord’s day. except work of char
ity or necessity, is guilty of a mis-

SPEAKING OF GAS—
In a western town there is a sign
reading as follows:

37 put a lighted match to it;
4000 stepped on it.
demeanor.” The supreme court has
decided many times in favor of the
letter of the law, even to the extent
that the selling of soda water or
I lemonade on the Sabbath is a viola
tion of the law.
Christian people are expected to.
observe the divine law though there’
might not, be any prohibitive state
law. Even good citizenship requires
a strict observance of the laws of the
land.
Your deacons offer this report as
a memorial and a protest against all
violations of the law, both civil and
moral and if any member of our
church is a violator we hope they will
not continue as such but if they do
they are doing it over the* protest
and" without the sanction of the Hart
well Baptist church.
No church can possibly render the
best service in a community without
the fullest cooperation by all its
members and if this memorial ex
presses in any degree the feeling of
our church we hope for the best
possible cooperation in carrying out
the sentiments expressed.
Respectfully submitted by,
THE BOARD OF DEACONS,
of the Hartwell Baptist church.
By unanimous vote the church
adopted the memorial as presented
by the Deacons and requested by
resolution that The Hartwell Sun pub
