THE JACKSON HERALD. JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
THE BOY, THE GUN AND THE
BIRDS
(H. J. Rowe, in Banner-Herald)
It is dangerous for your boys to be
1 permitted to go armed with sling
shots, BB guns and parlor rifles.
While these children are not vandals
at heart, they do, however, cause
much damage.
Out our way, in the yards and
gardens of practically every home
there is the mockingbird, the brown
thrasher, the thrush, jaybird and
other species, as well as a goodly
number of squirrels. These gifts of
nature are prized highly by the
whole neighborhood. In the twilight
of the evening and at the dawn of
day, we are lulled to rest with their
soothing chirps and in the mornings
we are awakened by their sweetest
songs heralding the brightness of the
new day. In practically every home
in our community there can be
found a similar condition. All our
neighbors appreciate these birds and
provide food for them during all
seasons of the year.
One of our neighbors, who had been
accustomed for a long time, to the
singing of the mocking bird and the
thrasher every morning, at dawn,
awoke a few mornings ago, as usual
to enjoy the songs of the sweet sing
ing birds, but not a sound or a note
came from their throats.
Our neighbor was puzzled over
the failure of greetings from his
birds he prized so highly for all
these years. He made tour of in
spection of his yard and there under
the tree, from which these birds had
sung their sweet songs lay the dead
bodies of the mocking bird and the
thrasher, pierced with slugs from a
BB gun and a bullet from a cart
ridge shell or a parlor rifle. Such
conduct is inconceivable, and we do
not believe that any parent would
permit children to commit such acts
of vandalism, if they knew such was
being done by the children.
“Fewer Young Men, Less
Arms, Too Few Allies
Bordeaux, France.—Old Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain, France’s
premier of defeat, sadly told his peo
ple today they had lost the first to
Germany because they had “fewer
friends” than in 1914-18—“ fewer
young men, less arms, too few al
lies.”
But he promised, in a rad ip broad
cast: “We will learn our lessen
f*om the lost battle.” He blamed
defeated of the lush years since the
World War victory when “our sense
of enjoyment predominated over our
sense of sacrifice.”
Petain disclosed that at the be
ginning of the “battle of Fiance”
the nation had but 2,780,000 troops,
or 500,000 less than after three years
of bloody fighting in the World War.
In contrast with 85 British di
visions in May of 1940.
Then he compared the 58 Italian
world war divisions on the side of
France and the 42 from the United
States with the present: Italy an
enemy, America a neutral.
French planes in the battle of
France were outnumbered by the
enemy one to six, he declared.
The hero of Verdun concluded:
“I was with you in your days of
glory and I am and will remain with
you in your days of sadness,”
He explained why he had asked
for peace.
LEGION CALLS FOR DOUBLED
AND REDOUBLED ARMY
Augusta, Ga.—lmmediate aid to
Britain and France “by sale or by
gift” of munitions, airplanes and
supplies was urged upon congress by
the Georgia Department of the
American Legion.
The proposal was part of a na
tional defense program outlined in
resolutions adopted at the closing
session of the department con
vention. It called for congress to
remain in session “during the pres
ent emergency.”
The legion resolution also called
for the army to be “doubled and re
doubled as quickly as possible” and
urged a two-ocean navy, compulsory
military training for 1,000,000 men
annually, doubling the size of the
Civilian Conservation Corps and in
troduction of military training for
enrollees.
Recruiting of the national guard
to full strength with the guard to be
“mobilized and federalized for the
period of the emergency” was pro
posed. The legion suggested mobiliz
ation of the Reserve Officers’ Train
ing Corps to train CCC enrollees.
Irvin Tate of Commerce was elect
ed area commander for the ninth
district.

Women Priioners Trans
feree! to Tattnall County
Reidsville, Ga., June 19.—The
work of moving 350 women from the
old state prison at Milledgeville to
the new state prison near here was
started Wednesday, and the entire
number is expected to be housed in
the new prison within the next week.
The new building was completed
during the past week and is located
on a hill about a half-mile south of
the $1,500,000 prison erected in
1936 to house some 5,000 men pris
oners. The new building is attrac
tive in appearance and will furnish
ample accommodations for about
500 women.
The 350 women from all walks of
life—charged with all manner of
crimes from murder to shop-lifting
—will be put to work under the in
dustrial and farming program adopt
ed by Superintendent George A.
Fisher.
The more able-bodied colored wo
men will be sent into the fields to
hoe cotton and pick beans and peas,
while the weaker colored women will
be put to work in the building, wash
ing dishes and scrubbing.
The white women will be just as
busy under the Fisher plan, for Mr.
Fisher believes in every one able to
work doing so. The white women
will be engaged in sewing, churning,
milking, cooking, canning and pre
serving the various foods grown on
the 7,000-acre farm located in Tatt
nall and Toombs Counties.

ANOTHER SCENIC PARK BEING
OPENED TO TOURISTS
Tumbling rapidly over Amica
lola mountain a distance of 729 ft.,
in northwest Dawson county, is
Amicalola Falls.
Heretofore, almost inaccessible,
this wonderful work of nature has
been dormant to the public eye.
At present, however, a huge pro
ject is being pushed by 150 state
convicts to develop that section.
The convict camp is located in Daw
son county and roads are being op
ened to the falls from Ellijay, from
Dahlonega and from Jasper. About
40 miles of road is being built by
these convicts. That a good job is
being accomplished is evidenced by
the equipment furnished by the
state.
The equipment being used is of
the best. There are ten earth-mov
ers, 4 Bulldozer tractors, three
steamshovels, four air-compressors,
two rock-grinders and 40 trucks.
Tiie object is to develop a State
Park at the Falls, with a huge lake
atop the mountain.

Lesson for June 30

JONAH: THE OUTREACH OF
GOD’S LOVE
_ j
LESSON TEXT—Jonah 3:1-10; 4:10. It.
GOLDEN TEXT—Salvation is of the Lord.
—Jonah 2:9.
‘‘There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness In His justice
Which is more than liberty.
“For the love of God Is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind."
Such is the message of the book
of Jonah. How appropriate it is to
close our series of studies on the
prophets with this declaration of
God’s love and mercy.
I. A Second Chance (3:1-3).
Jonah had been sent to Nineveh
with a message from God, but,
secretly wishing in his heart that
this great city which was the enemy
of Israel should be destroyed rather
than repent and receive God’s bless
ing (see 4:2), Jonah made an at
tempt to run away from God’s com
mission. We know how God patient
ly dealt with him and now gave him
a second chance to do His will.
How gracious God is “to continue
to us . . . the privilege of service
even when we seem to have sinned
away our first chance, misused
our endowments, and have by our
very failure embarrassed His
plans.” Dr. J. Stuart Holden goes
on to point out that only God gives a
second chance. Nature does not;
man seldom, if ever, gives his fel
low who has failed a second oppor
tunity. But God does. Praise His
name!
There was also a second chance
extended to Nineveh. God was npt
willing to bring judgment upon the
city without another warning. Quot
ing Dr. Holden again: “I care not
what is the history of failure, of
shame, of sin which is behind you
... I care not how close upon your
heels are the hounds of accusation
and condemnation which bay at you.
I tell you that Jesjis Christ is here
... to give you a second chance,
and that everything depends upon
your attitude of acceptance or re
jection of His proffered grace and
mercy.”
11. A Stirring Revival (3:4-10).
So great was the city that it would
have taken Jonah three days to
bring his message to the entire pop
ulation (see v 3). He had only be
gun when, at the end of the first
day, the city, from the ruler down to
the humblest inhabitant, was in
deep mourning and repentance for
its sin.
Jonah, the man who had been
brought back from a living death as
a sign (Luke 11:29-32) to Nineveh
that God was gracious to repentant
sinners, pointed to the fact that
though his message was one of con
demnation (v. 4), they might expect
God to be entreated of them (v. 9).
He was (v. 10).
God has sent times of revival
when whole cities—and even whole
nations—have been turned from
their sin. Such revivals have been
occurring in recent years in various
mission fields. Thousands of earnest
Christians are praying now that
such a revival may come again in
our own land. The writer knows
where helpful literature along this
line is available without cost. Let
us pray and be faithful, and trust
God to bring revival to the hearts
of men.
11l A Selfish Reaction (4:10, 11).
Jonah, instead of rejoicing in the
repentance of Nineveh, showed his
narrowness and selfishness by be
coming angry (see 4:1). How
petty and childish are the attitudes
of men when contrasted with the
mercy of God.
The Lord, dealing gently with
Jonah, gave him a place of refuge
and a gourd plant to shade him from
the sun (4:5, 6). Then, to teach
him a lesson, a worm was permitted
to kill the gourd (v. 7). When
Jonah was greatly concerned over
the loss of the plant, God pointed
out to him that it is wrong to be
stirred up over the passing of
material comfort and not to be con
cerned for the souls of men.
How many of Jhose who poured
out millions of dollars (and rightly
so) for the relief of the harassed
people of Finland, would give five
cents to win them to Christ? Many
who will give liberally of money,
time and effort to the commendable
work of flood or famine relief, will
not so much as cross the road to
talk to a neighbor about Christ. A
farmer will sit up all night to care
for a sick cow, but will he spend an
hour or two on Sunday or some
evening of the week in an effort to
win his neighbor’s boy (or his own
boy) to Christ? These are pertinent
and serious questions. What is our
answer? C will hold us respon
sible.
The Young Bride’s Affection
If a young bride doesn’t care
much about her husband’s philan
derings, she revor cared much for
him.
