Religiously Speaking

SPENDING MONEY
Once one has money, he must
face the responsibility it brings
—the responsibility of rightly us
ing it. For in the spending of
money, as well as the making of
it, the real man is revealed.
G. Ernest Thomas, in “The
Holy Habits of the Spiritual Life”
says; “Phillip Guedella was at
work on a biography of the Duke
of Wellington. In his research he
came across a packet of receipted
bills which the Duke had care
fully preserved. Mr. Guedella re
marked upon the fact that the
bills proved a fruitful source of
information concerning the char
acter and life of the eminent
here. ‘Find out how a man spends
his money’, he wrote, ‘and you
will find what kind of man he
is’.”
Coming and going in a con
tinuous series, money establishes
a process which forms habit and
powerfully affects character. The
use of cash is an acid test of
character.
Unwise spending is a very
dangerous as well as revealing
thing. The worst example of it
is spending more than you have;
a thing which has been done by
many people and also our gov
ernment.
In the “Industrial News Re
view” we find this example.
“Suppose we took the total an
nual paychecks of all of the 55
million people who work in our
factories, business and farms.
Add to that the pay of the seven
million civilians on government
payrolls and the three million
armed forces members. Suppose
we then added extras like the
Social Security payments made
by employers. That would total
$209 billion — some S7O billion
less than the national debt”. The
national debt as of September 15
was $279,236,412,220.89. Interest
charges vary with the size of the
debt. Currently cost is about
$6.3 billion annually.
An unknown author says;
“Some pay their debts when
due;
Some, when overdue;
Some never do;
How do you do?”
But maybe the best way is the
way of the old merchant. After
months of effort, the old mer
chant at the general store finally
collected from a stubborn debtor.
“Say on my receipt”, said the
ornery customer, “that I don’t
owe you a thing”.
With painstaking care, the old
storeman wrote, “Bearer don’t

owe the undersigned nothing —
and ain’t going to”.
In “Boswell’s London Journal”
he says: “The love of property
is strongly implanted in mankind.
Property, to be sure, gives us a
power of enjoying many plea
sures which it can purchase; and
as society is constituted, a man
has a high degree of respect from
it. Let me, however, beware of
allowing this passion to take a
deep root. It may engross my af
fections and give me a meanness
of spirit and a cold indifference
to every manly and spirited pur
suit. And when we consider what
one gains, it is merely imaginary.
“To keep the golden mean be
tween stinginess and prodigality
is the point I should aim at. If
a man is prodigal, he cannot be
truly generous. His money is
foolishly dissipated without any
goodness on his part, and he has
nothing to be generous with. On
the other hand, a narrow man has
a hard, contracted soul. The fi
ner feelings are bound up, and
although he has the power, he
never can have the will to be
generous.
“The character worthy of imi
tation is the man of economy,
who with prudent attention,
knows when to save and when
to spend, and acts accordingly.
Let me pursue this system. I
have done so hitherto since my
setting out upon my own foot
ing. Let me continue it.”
‘Blind’ Man in
Pierce Renewed
Driving License
The case of a Pierce county
man with an automobile driver’s
license who made application for
aid to the blind was reported
this week in Atlanta by State
Welfare Director Alan Kemper.
Kemper said his department
began an investigation recently
when it was learned that a Negro
man in Pierce county had ap
plied for assistance because he
was blind and also had been
granted a driver’s license re
newal.
The man, who was not identi
fied, drives a car to work in
Ware county near Waycross and
also operates a tractor, Kemper
said.
The investigation resulted in
the man withdrawing his appli
cation for public assistance, Kem
per stated.

EGG GRADING SCHOOLS
A series of one-day egg grad
ing schools will be held at dif
ferent Georgia points beginning
the latter part of April. Purpose
of the schools is to train egg
graders to be licensed under the
new Georgia Egg Marketing reg
ulations.
AUTOMATIC INSECT
SPRAYERS
Insects on cattle can cause a
lot of trouble, says Dr. C. R.
Jordan, Extension entomologist.
Use of an automatic sprayer with
the proper insecticide will help
control horn flies, protect animal
from stable flies, horse flies and
deer flies, and often keep flies
off cows during milking.
Starr millet provides excellent
grazing for hogs, but it must be
grazed close for best results.

and other fund raising of a general public nature, but

We appreciate the cooperation of the public in this
matter.
