PACE SIX
The Value Of The Church
To The Community
W. H. Faust
My hearers, will you fcive me the
privilege to have a heart to heart
talk to you about the value of the
church to the community, and the
age in which we live?
Christ, the great head of the
church, claimed it with pride and
challenged the attention of the
world, to the fact that no force
should be able to prevail against'it.
What salt meuns to the earth, what
light means to the people, all that
and more, the redeemed hosts of
Christ, mean to the world around
us. In an age that is peculiarly
materialistic, we find that the church
of Christ has material values. Real
estate and property values and so
cial needs arc enriched by the pres
ence of a group of citizens whose
lives are in accord with GOD’S
WILL. Homes arc essential in
building a worth while community,
city or nation. Examine closely the
sections of the country, and find that
where church members predominate,
and Christ's principles are held up
as ideals, and see the PROGRESS
made; and then turn to the section
where the gospel is not preached,
and realize how poor would be our
lives without the gracious beneficent
influences emanating from the in
stitution so close to the heart of
Christ.
The Bible clearly teaches that
where the righteous reign the people
rejoice, and where the wicked are in
authority the people mourn. One of
the greatest values of the church is
the contribution it makes to the en
forcement and obedience of law.
The anarchist knows this, and the
■one who would tear down civiliz
ation, and, therefore he would first
destroy faith in God and His church.
Trained leadership, as well as
trained followers, are very essential
in the on-going of the whole world.
And the churches have down through
the years stood for the institutions
of learning where our youth could
receive that instruction necessary to
bless the wturld. Our marvelous
public school system comes directly
from the example of the militant,
frusading churches whose great de
sire was and is, to produce a better
world in which people may live, and
solve the vitul problems of life.
The church stands for the value
of the Lord’s Day. From the days
of Moses down to this good hour
thinking men have realized that one
day out of a week is necessary for
the strengtheing, physically and
spiritually, of men, so that they
could perform aright the duties de
volving upon them. Rest and wor
ship is necessary for man to be at
his best. Let the Day of the Lord
go, and soon the Lord of the day is
neglected. Labor and capital alike
can see the value of a spiritual tonic
that comes’from proper Sunday ob
servance. The very life and future
of the church is centered in this
Lord’s Day and its proper obser
vance.
Washington, the father of his
country, thoroughly understood that
religion is essential to the highest
well being, and that a godless man,
like a churchless community, has
small chance of the growth and de
velopment and spiritual good that
brings contentment with this life and
confident hope for eternity.
Saved men and women, and those j
spiritually potent, are factors in j
world progress. To have in any
given section a consecrated group of
followers of Christ is to have the
germ of LIFE and POWER that can
bring only the best in this life and
the life to come.
I love the church of Christ today
more and more as the years swiftly
pass; to her I gave the best service
of youth and the heartier loyalty of
mature years. She is radiantly tii
umphant in her queenly position of
service, and the whole world knows
that her martyrs crown becomes her
lofty brow. Her prison-soiled, flame
charred and blood-stained robes are
lustrous and glorious. Her past is
triumphant, her future resplendent,
and she has shown erring sinners the
way of life through her glorious
Head. Treading the great highway
of life, I see her worth to the whole
world; planted in the heart of our
city, I see her influence steadily
mounting, and feel that her Head
will one day conquer the people
and bring them into captivity to
<jod, and the little children who are
now feeble and hungry will laugh
with joy in her security, while old
faces will be wreathed in smiles of
confident assurance, while sin, with
Its destruction and ruin, is pushed
aside.
The dominion of the church is an
•everlasting dominion. ears ago
Cartier salied up the St. Lawrence,
and came to Quebec, where he saw a
little Indian village, a cluster of
houses; and one day in the legisla
ture Sir Leonard Tilley arose and
said, “Gentlemen, I read in my Bi
ble this morning'that God’s dominion
should be from sea to sea, and from
the river to the ends of the earth.
From sea to sea, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and from the St. Law
rence unto the ends of the earth at
the Pole. Let us from now on call
our country THE DOMINION, God’s
Dominion. So God’s people today
arise to bless His church and pro
claim the glorious fact that her do
minion shall be from sea to sea, and
from the river to the ends of the
earth.
“I love thy church, O, ftod,
Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.
“For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend,
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
“Beyond my highest joy,
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows.
Her hymns of love and praise.
“Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given,
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.”
Runs Pardon Racket And
Raises Price of Insurance
1 Charging Eugene Talmadge and
the administration of Georgia with
running a pardon racket in the
state, Judge Claude Pittman told a
large crowd in Augusta Friday
night that “Talmadge and his crowd
know ‘the half has never yet been
told’.”
Referring to the insurance of
state property, Judge Pittman said,
“When Gov. Talmadge assumed the
duties of his office the property of
the state was insured in two mutual
companies, the Southern Mutual of
Athens and the Atlantic Mutual of
Savannah,” Pittman said. “The
governor cancelled all of the insur
ance of these two Georgia companies
and insured Georgia’s property for
over half a million dollars at a cost
of SIO,OOO to the State and this was
almost double the amount formerly
paid the two mutual Georgia com
panies.”
NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS
(By Paul Mallon)
Washington. A businessman
walked into the NRA. “I manufac
ture diapers,” he said. ‘‘What code
do I come under?”
They sent him to the cotton textile
division. The people in that office
were sure that diapers did not come
under their jurisdiction. They re
ferred him to the light sewing di
vision.
The light sewing administrator
looked into the matter and held
that diapers constituted wearing ap
parel. He shunted the manufactur
er off to the apparel office. There
the lawyers went into a huddle and
disagreed violently. After much
argument they were unable to pin
the diaper problem down. It was re
| forred to the official NRA policy
I board for determination. The board
| now has the matter under advise
ment,
It only goes to show the trouble
you get into when you start fooling
with fundamentals.
WHAT YOU HAVE GIVEN AWAY
“Carve your name high o’er shifting
sand
Where the steadfast rocks defy de
cay ;
All you can hold in your cold dead
hand
Is what you have given away.
Count your wide conquest by sea
and land,
Heap up the gold, hoard as you may;
All you can hold in your cold dead
hand
Is what you have given away.
Honor and fafne and gold are so
grand,
King of the Salon a mark, a day;
All you can hold in your cold dead
hand
Is what you have given away.”

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
A GOOD NAME
There was a rule at James School
that no one could enter the conser
vatory without permission. The
conservatory contained rare speci
mens of flowers, and strict rules
were necessary to protect them.
One day a boy’s handkerchief was
found in the conservatory, and no
permission had been given to any
pupils to enter it. At the close of
school that day Dr. James assembled
the pupils and produced the hand
kerchief.
“This handkerchief bears the ini
itals 'J. D.’ ” said Dr. James. “Whose
handkerchief is it?”
John Doring arose from his seat
immediately. “That is my handker
chief, Dr. James,” he said.
The whole school became silent
with suspense. John Doring was one
of the most popular boys in school,
and had a reputation for obedience
to rules.
“John,” said Dr. James, with a
look of disapproval, “have you been
in the conservatory without permis
sion?”
“I have not, sir,” answered John
in a calm voice.
“I believe you, John,” replied Dr.
James, just as promptly. “I believe
you because I have never known you
to tell an untruth, although your
handkerchief has been found there.”
John sat down quietly, unmoved.
Every boy and girl in school almost
envied his good name, especially
when Dr. James said he believed
John in the face of the evidence a
gainst him.
Dr. James dismissed the pupils
with ' these words: “Let everyone
learn from this incident the worth
of a good name.”
Tom Howard stayed in his seat
longer than the others. He kept his
eyes riveted on John. Then he
dashed over to where John was.
“John,” he exclaimed, “I’m awful
ly sorry. You know when you let
me have your handkerchief yester
day when we went nutting, to tie up
some nuts? Well, I forgot to give
it back to you, and put it in my
pocket. I went by the conservatory
on my way home and saw the door
open. You know how I like to look
at those big flowers, and so I went
in to look at ’em. I guess your
handkerchief must have dropped out
of my pocket. I’m awfully sorry,
John.”
“Oh, that's all right, Tom,” said
John. “Dr. James doesn’t think I
was in there. You know what he
said about a good name?”
“Yes, I know,” admitted Tom,
"but if Dr. James knew that I had
been in there without permission
he’d punish me, and tell the whole
school about -it.”
“If I were you,” said John, “I’d
go right away to Dr. James and tell
him all about it.” —Highways of
Happiness.

For Your Feathered Friends
HAS It ever occurred to you
what a pleasure it would bo
to you and what a useful
thing you would bo doing if you
provided safe homes like the
above for the little wrens and
chicadoes am. other small song
birds who would be only too de
lighted to move in‘o them this
spring if-they found them stand-’
lag ready in your yard?
It’s such a simple thing to do,
too. All that is necessary is to
buy a can of syrup that comes in
the shape of a log cabin, cut and
punch a few holes in it, and there
you are! You will need a little
more specific instructions, if you
are attracted by the idea, how
ever, and Mrs. Olive Benedict
Coming, bird enthusiast of Lake
Keuka, New York, has provided
them.
How to Make the House
“After cleaning an empty tin
with hot water,’’ she says, “make
a hole an inch in diameter, with
a jackknife, just above the center
of one of the end panels. This
entrance will be large enough to
admit wrens and smaller birds,
but will keep out nosey sparrows.
It should be in the upper half of
the wall so it won’t be covered
when the binds build their nest
inside. Cut from the top of the
hole downward, and when the top
and two sides of the hole are com
plete, bend out the flap of metal
to form a perch. Smooth down
the sharp corners with a file or a
pair of pliers or a hammer.
“After punching a few nail
holes in the sides and bottom for

Augusta Candidates Run On Prohi

Augusta, Ga.—Roy \ . Harris,
floor leader in the House at the last
session of the Legislature, announc
ed today that he is a candidate for
the State Senate on a platform ad
vocating repeal of state prohibition.

put the prohibition question square
ly up to the voters in this section,
as W. M. Lester, his announced op
ponent, favors retention of the state
laws.
Mr. Harris favors both the manu
facture and sale of whisky under

ventilation, plug up the chimney
and lasten the cabin to a tree
or building with a wooden brack

cord. All birdhouses should be
placed in the shade to protect
nestlings from the summer suu.
In a few minutes and at no ex

way a practical cabin for small
birds which will protect these
valuable and amusing nsighbors
from being crowded out by spar
rows, other feathered hooligans
or cats.”
A Joyful Awakening
Asa result of this small effort
you will stir drowsily some morn
ing soon in the sweet spring air,
and hear a small, clear voice out
side your window ejaculate:
"Cheep!” This will not be a com
ment on your character. Far
from it! It will be an expression
of appreciation of your generosity
in giving your small feathered
friends this protection, and the
result will be that you will attract
to your yard one or more whole
families of delightful neighbors
who will provide interest and
amusement for you not only this
summer but for many summers
to come.
Lots of people are already do
ing this. Mrs. Coming, for in
stance, has fifteen of these rustic
bird cabins about her Lake Keuka
cottage, and every year they are
occupied by cheerful families of
wrens and song birds. She doesn’t
have to advertise those cottages.
In fact she claims that there is
a waiting list. "But remember,”

Bogart.—Friday afternoon some
of the type was found that was used
in prnting the local newspaper here
in 1893 by Roy C. Merck, youngest
son of Mr. and Mrs. Merck, in the
rear of the family home.
The local newspaper was the
“Bogart News.” Only a few Bogart
citizens remember the paper when
it was published here by W. E.
Merck. Mr. Merck died nearly two
years ago after retiring as mail
