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- FLAT SHOALS • ••»*»*» »* Health of this community is very good.

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.
