Christian Church Condemns
Drunken Driving
Athens, (la.—A stinging eondemn-
Jfwn of reckless and drunken uriv
-ing on the highways of Georgia was
voiced in a resolution adopted by the
88th annual convention of the Chris
tian churches in Georgia which com
pleted Thursday a three day session
at the First Christian church of
Athens.
Included also in the sweeping
condemnation were the drinking of
alcoholic beverages of any kind, race
prejudice, gambling, selfishness in
industry and business, and the na
tionalistic and militaristic spirit
which leads inevitably to war.
Opposes Military
Asked his opinion on compulsory
military education, Dr. Edward T.
Small, president of the conference,
declared last night, "Generally, I am
opposed to it. I think that military
training should he elective."
The conference just completed has
been one of the most successful in
many years, according to Rev. S. R
Grubb, pastor of the First Christian
church of Athens. Three hundred
and fifty out-of-town delegates reg
istered during the three days of the
conference. At least 400 out-of
town delegates attended, Dr. Grubb
said.
Pleated By Progress
1 "I am well pleased with the pro
gress made during this series of
meetings,” Dr. Small said. “Consid
erable business has been transacted,
and a good basis for progress during
the next year has been established.
The debt which existed against the
state missionary society has been
virtually wiped out during the past
year, and the first permanent fund
for state missionary work has been
set up.
W. A. Joyner, Americus, was elect
ed president of the Christian church
es in Georgia for the ensuing year.
V. P. Bowers was elected vice-presi
dent, and D. M. Joiner, second vice
president.
Rev. S. R. Grubb, Athens, was
elected to the board of directors for
the Southeastern Christian Home,
and to the state missionary board.
Dr. C. R. Stauffer was re-elected
chairman of the state board, and
Bruce Nay will continue as secretary
of the state missionary society.
Rev. John Wood, beloved dean of
the Georgia ministry and oldest
minister in the conference, pro
nounced the benediction.
I BELIEVE IN THE BELMONT
COVENANT TITHING PLAN
(By W. C. Sparkman)
I believe in the Belmont Covenant
Plan for two reasons:
First, and most important, it is
Scriptural. God’s plan is for us to
give each week as He prospers us
that week.
Second, it works. I know for my
church, the Jonesboro Baptist
Church, used it this year, and the
deacons are unanimously in favor of
using it again next year.
We asked our members to tithe
weekly for three months, from Jan
uary Ist to April Ist. Over fifty
signed cards. After the first of
April no further appeal was made.
No special appeals were made at any
time during the year. No canvass
of the members was made. What
were the results?
We cleared off all but a very small
part of a debt that had been hanging
for years. We made many repairs
and improvements. The pastor’s
salary was increased. There has
never been a week during the year
that the treasurer has not had
money in the bank. For the year,
the increase in contributions to loea>
work, over the preceding year, was
49 per cent. The increase in contri
butions to missions and benevolences
was 95 per cent. When the three
months were up, many of those who
pledged kept on tithing. Many oth
ers had accustomed themselves to
more liberal giving.
An attractive feature of the plan
is its educational value. Many will
tithe for three months who would
never pledge otherwise. And the
habit grows on them.
But the greatest benefit our church
has received is spiritual. The very
atmosphere in our church is differ
ent. Let me urge that in putting the
plan before our people the emphasis
be not on money but on consecra
tion.
PASS IT ON
Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on.
'Twas not given for you alone.
Pass it on.
Let it travel down the yeans,
Let it wipe another’s tears
'Til in Heaven the deed appears.
Pass it on.
Four New Officer* Elected
Georgia Baptist Convention
Atlanta, Ga.—Four vice presidents!
were named and four officers re- 1
elected by the 800 delegates and
preachers attending the first day’s
sessions of the Georgia Baptist con
vention in the Georgia Baptist Taber
nacle. New officers are Dr. W f . H.
Major, pastor of the Capitol Avenue
Baptist church, Atlanta; Dr. B. D.
Gray, of College Park; Dr. Frederick
S. Porter, of Columbus, and Dr. J.
C. Wilkinson, of Athens.
T. F. Calloway, of Thomasville,
was returned to the presidency.
Others re-elected were Dr. B. D.
Ragsdale, of Macon, secretary; Dr.
H. D. Warnock, of Forsyth, assist
ant secretary, and Spencer B. King,
of Blakely, treasurer. Featured al
so on the program was the report of
the executive committee and the con
vention sermon by Dr. Wilkinson,
newly elected vice president.
In reporting for the executive
committee Dr. James W. Merritt,
secretary, recommended that Geor
gia Baptists give a greater percent
age of their church’s revenues to
southern convention causes next
year. The 1936 budget, as submitt
ed, provided that 26 per cent of the
“undesignated gifts to the co-oper
ative program” shall go to foreign
missions, home missions, theological
seminaries and ministerial relief,
as compared with only 20 per cent
last year.
Advance In Gifts
Based on a total budget of slßl,-
238.33 for 1936, the committee esti
mated $38,372.08 would go to the
southwide movement. It also re
ported a ‘‘heartening advance in gifts
of members in the state to the co
operative program.” During the
first ten months of 1935 these total
ed $272,066.20, an increase of $24,-
066.20 over the total of $247,941.87
for the same period in 1934.
After setting up the 1936 budget,
the executive committee recommend
ed that the “goal for distributable
gifts be $250,000.” Dr. Merritt
said the amount southern causes have
received from Georgia during the
first ten months of this year is equi
valent to 35 per cent of the total
gifts of Georgia Baptists to program
causes.
Reporting on the associated mis
sions activities, Dr. Merritt said the
membership of the Hundred Thou
sand Club now totals 32,506, of
which Georgia has 2,772 members.
He said the total amount contributed
through the club since its beginning
was $352,712.98 and Georgia had
contributed $38,291.83 of that a
mount.
Convention Sermon
In the convention sermon Dr.
Wilkinson urged the delegates to
emulate “the spirit of Christ.” He
said the world is “cynical, disillus
ioned and filled with a sense of futili
ty.” He said he thought cynicism
was the result of unfulfilled dreams
and urged the delegates to find the
strength for facing disappointment
by studying the teachings of Christ.
At the afternoon session the dele
gates heard an address by Dr. John
R. Sampey, president of the South
ern Baptist convention. There fol
lowed reports from the holding com
mission and the convention treasur
er.
J. B. Lawrence, executive secre
tary-treasurer of the home mission
board, addressed the convention at
night. With Dr. Merritt presiding,
reports also were heard from the
Sunday school department, Wo
man’s Missionary Union, Training
Union department and the Student
Union department.
At the session at morning re
ports were heard from the com
mittees on the Christian Index, edu
cation, Georgia Baptist hospital and
relief and annuity. Several address
es are scheduled for the meeting this
afternoon. Charles E. Maddry,
secretary of the foreign mission
board, will speak tonight.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, CEORGIA
Tribute To The Press
(Presented at Savannah at the U.
D. C. Breakfast, by Miss
Phoebe Elliott)
I do not intend to make an address,
But, ladies and gentlemen, here’s to
the press!
It forms our opinions and sets forth
our views,
It tells us a joke, and it gives us the
news.
It promises sunshine or warns us of
rain.
There’s nothing too hard for the
press to explain—
What scientists mean, or at least
what they say,
For very few know what they mean,
anyway,
What’s happening in China, in far
Sou Chou Foo,
Or what the Tahitians are planning
to do.
And if Haile Selassie has army re
views,
They with bare feet and he in new
shoes,
We can read of it all before the
event,
So rapidly now dispatches are sent,
While the dread Mussolini’s fame and
renown
Are discussed in our papers as in his
home town.
Then, how should we know just what
would be right
To eat or to wear, but that morning
and night
The newspapers manage to give us
a hunch
What to put on for dinner or to
serve for lunch?
What secrets of beauty in the press
we may note —
How to smooth out a wrinkle or
round out a throat.
’Tis there, too, we find the best cur
rent rate
For purchasing stock, or perhaps
real estate.
And, wishing to sell an odd extra
chair,
The baby’s old crib, or the new
frigidaire,
We list it at once in our modern
gazette,
Where cooks may be found and
where houses are let.
Then, how could we know what the
bride’s mother wore,
And how,it was fashioned behind and
before,
Were it not for the press, which in
excellent style
Tells how the whole party advanced
up the aisle?
There’s Hambone, Little Annie, the
debs and subdebs,
The family quarrels of Neffs and
Nebbs,
And yet many others—the press tells
about them—
We simply can’t think of a life lived
without them.
And then, by the press our meetings
are slated—
The place and the date and the hour
are stated.
And as for the work of our own U.
D. C.,
We really can’t fancy, we truly can’t
see
ed window baskets if soil is kept
we should do,
We’d scarcely be able to come smil
ing through.
They give us a notice, they give us
a puff,
They say what we want and they say
just enough.
So, though I can’t make an official
address,
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s to the
press!
COTTON PLAN SET, CULLY COBB
SAYS
Temple, Texas.—Cully A. Cobb,
chief of the cotton division of the
AAA, said Tuesday the government’s
cotton program would be carried on
regardless of any ruling made by the
Supreme Court on validity of the
farm act.
The cotton chief said that the fi
nancing of a four-year program was
holding up formal announcement of
a proposed new plan.
“We have come a long way since
March, 1933,” he said, “and the New
Deal was pledged to equality in
agriculture. The only answer to
home ownership in the south is con
trolled production and a fair and
stable price. The task of holding
out against the enemies of the pro
gram will be hard. We must choose
between no control and no price and
control and a fair price.”
Cobb denied that, contrary to
“scary tales,” the foreign market is
being lost.
“If losing foreign markets means
6-eent cotton,” he added, “then for
my part, I am ready to let them
go.”

ADVISED TO FIELD SELECT
CORN
Field selecting seed corn and stor
ing it so as to protect it from rats
and insects are important jobs which
farmers should not overlook at this
season of the year, advises J. C. Low
ery, extension agronomist, Auburn,
Ala.
“Selection should be made both
before and after harvest,” he said.
“Before harvest go through the field
and select seed ears, keeping in mind
the following points:
“Select from vigorous stalks as
shown by superiority over surround
ing stalks. Do not select ears that
are seed because of space or favor
able conditions. Select from stalks
of medium height that do not break.
“Select for two or more ears per
stalk and preferably with ears turn
ing down. Use both ears from a
stalk.
“Select ears with shucks extending
well over tips.
“Select ears from stalks which
are free from disease. It is neces
sary to select many more ears than
will be needed for planting, for a
re-selection should be made after
harvesting.”
Mr. Lowery is urging farmers to
be certain to store their seed corn
where rats and insects will not de
stroy it.

prunes over night in cold water to

also know the effectiveness of Beech
