| TON WIND STORM
CAUSES $20,000 DAMAGE
Lincplnton, Ga.—A storm of great
intensity swept through the business
rortion here late yesterday after
noon, uprooting trees and blowing
the roofs off of several buildings.
Damage to property was estimated
fit around $20,000.
Although several residences as
well as business establishments felt
the force of the wind, only two per
rons were reported hurt and their
iaj uries were minor.
R. N. Autry was struck in the
head by flying debris, while James
Dooly was injured when his home
collapsed. Neither was hurt seri
ously.
At least seven business estab
lishments in the heart of the city
were damage by the blow.
The windstorm, which was ac
companied by rain and hail, blew
into the city at about 5 o’clock and
the wind lashed the town for five
minutes.
Part of the roof was blown from
the court house, while an adjacent
water tower was blown dtown.
The walls of an office building
owned by C. E. Keter crumbled
when struck by the force of the
wind.
A number of the buildings in the
ernter of town had roofs blown off
during the storm.
A 14-year-old boy was reported
to have been blown several yards
down the street before he grabbed
to a door and clung to it until the
wind subsided.
A POEM WRITTEN IN 1818
524 Meigs St., Athens, Ga.,
September 13, 1928.
Dear Brother Newton:
In looking through some old pa
pers, I have found this poem which
you will be interested in publishing,
perhaps. From “Athens Gazette,”
March 25, 1818:
'‘Agrippa’s reply to Paul. Almost
thou persuadest me to be a Chris
tian.
What! but almost convinc’d! and rest
you there?
Sad proof, O King, your soul is not
your care!
Not so, the famish’d wretch on see
ing bread,
Wou’d say, enough! 1 could almost
be fed;
Nor wou’d the sick to his physician
say,
I couid almost be cur’d, go thou thy
way;
Nor wou’d the pris’ner if a gap he
see,
Say, unconcern’d, I cou’d almost go
free.
Nor wou’d the Rebel, shou’d his
prince forgive,
Refusing, say, Pm half inclin’d to
live.
What then! Are God, the soul, etern
al things,
Death, Heaven, and Hell, concerns
too small for kings?
Shall sublunary honors, pomp and
power,
And regal state, the gewgaws of an
hour,
Engross the conscious mind, nor
once leave room
For dread eternity and final doom?
Ah, fool! thou’lt know to awful cost,
That to be almost sav’d is wholly to
be lost!
Hie case, how awful! yet alas, how
true!
The case, O formalist, applies to
you!
Flee then to Christ, ensure the sav
ing hour,
Bear not his name alone, but own
his power.”
Elizabeth Carithers.

INTELLIGENCE TESTS
The intelligence teat is one of the
great features of modern life. Some
time., though, one wishes that those
vrho use it could use a little more
Intelligence in propounding their
questions.
A psychiatrist “tested” a Buffalo
boy recently. He asked him to tell
the similarity between a snake, a
cow, and a sparrow; the boy replied
that none of them could talk.
Then he asked the boy what he
should do when he found he was go-
ing to be late for school; the boy
said, “Think up an excuse.”
Now the funny part about it is
that from the psychiatrist’s view
point both of these answers were
wrong—although any ordinary mort
al would find them pretty sensible
•answers to rather peculiar questions.
Tests which give the subject zeros
for answers as intelligent as these
cannot, properly be called intelli
gence tests at all.

WHEN THE SUBPOENA COMES
I hope when the subpoena comes
which says I must appear
Before the Universal Judge, the One
whom nil revere,
’Twill come upon a day in spring
with laughing sunshine, say
With a redbird on my windowsill a
chortling away.
A happier day ’twould be for me if
after rain it came,
’Twould thus offset the darker days
with the magic of its flame,
I’d like to see not far away some
blue-eyed children play—
But most of all a hand of love in
mine to light the way.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
DO YOU NEED A CHURCH?
Church attendance has been on
the decline. Statistics reveal that
only 30 per cent of the membership
attends church services. That is not
a heartening disclosure in a period
when morals and spiritual values are
needed by a people grasping for
social, economic and moral relief,
economic conditions. When pros
perity is on the wing, individuals
feel less the need of relying on
things spiritual They gloat in their
self-reliance. When depression hits
the nation and men are burdened
with responsibilities and hardships,
they turn to spiritual values for en
couragement and sustenance. Such
is the record of church attendance.
The world has undergone great
changes. History is in the making.
Poilitical, economic, and social forces
are in the throes of revision. We
toppled from the heights to the
depths and our civilization is floun
dering. Its permanency depends
upon man’s support of moral and
spiritual values. Character, integri
ty and the Goden Rule are still more
valuable than gold, armies and pri
vate gain.
This is not a sermon. It is a fact.
The permanency of civilization de
pends upon man’s acceptance of
moral and character values. Presi
dent Roosevelt recognized this truth
when he invited the nation to go to
church Loyalty Sunday, October 7.
Merle Thorpe, editor of Nation’s
Business, says there is good reason
for turning to the church today, for
“disorder in the outer world has
brought disorder to the spirit of
man.”
Our economic recovery is tied in
with moral recovery. They will go
hand in hand. When men recognize
the rights of others, when they re
spect integrity, when they live moral
lives, when they live the Golden
Rule, the world will lose its troubles.
The church is in the business of
building character; man is at the
task of building prosperity. Man
needs the church, the church needs
man.—Cobb County Times.
