MERCHANT COLLECTS 47-YEAR
OLD ACCOUNT
Hartwell, Ga.—Last Saturday,
Walker Durrett, an aged negro min
ister who lives on route 4, Anderson,
S. C., walked into A. N. Alford &
Co’s store here and inquired for Mr.
Alford. He was nearby, and after
proper introductions, Durrett said
“Mr. Alford, 47 years ago—in 1893
—I moved from Hart to Anderson
county, and owed you 95c. I’m back
today to pay you.”
And, so far as The Sun’s historian
is able to dig up, this sets the local
record for payment of an old ac
count. Mr. Alford, of course, had
no record of the 95c debt, and had
no recollection of what the amount
represented in merchandise, but pre
sumed it was for provisions.

AUNT LUCY "BLESSED OUT” OF
S2B BY GYPSY PAIR
Atlanta, Ga.—“ Aunt Lucy” Bail
ey, 65-year-old Negro woman, of
Guilford College, N. C., told deputy
sheriffs she “got blessed out of S2B”
by a couple of gypsy women.
They offered to bless money to
cast out evil spirits and counseled
her to gather up her savings in a
sack. The ritual took place and the
pair departed.
Later “Aunt Lucy” discovered the
gypsies had exchanged “right before
my eyes” her sack of money for an
asortment of papers, washers, bolts

GEORGIA HOLLY SHIPPED TO
EAST
Leesburg, Ga.—Georgia grown
holly is being shipped to Eastern
markets again this year for use in
Christmas decorations.
The first 1940 shipment moved
last week from a holly tree farm in
Lee county, of which W. M. Van
Cise is manager.
A 25-acre tract was planted to
these trees 13 years ago, but not un
til 1938 were any sales made. Only
the branches of the trees are cut,
and shipments are made by train or
truck.
Difficulty in making the trees bear
berries is the main problem in holly
production, Mr. Van Cise declares.
So far, the product has found a
ready market.
Dr. Joseph M. Branch, director of
the State Department of Public Wel
fare, announced that the total bene
fits received in Jackson county for
the months of July, September and
October amounted to $18,552.82.
This sum was paid in special assist
ance to the aged, blind and depend
ent children, surplus commodities,
C. C. C. and general relief.
Oats should be top-dressed with
100 to 150 pounds of nitrate of soda
or its equivalent in the spring when
active growth begins.

of Chicago.

Lesson for November 17

JESUS’ CONCERN FOR LIFE
AND HEALTH
LESSON TEXT—Luke 7:2-15.
GOLDEN TEXT—I im come that thev
might have life, and that they might have
It more abundantly.— John 10:10.
Physical life and bodily vigor are
secondary in importance to spiritual
life and health. Most people do not
believe that, but it is true. Never
theless our physical well-being is of
great importance, for it is evident
that the spiritual and mental side of
man can function in a physical
world only through a physical body.
That makes it a primary concern of
man to keep his body alive and,
what is more, keep it as well and
strong as possible, an effective in
strument for the service of God and
man.
With his emphasis on the physi
cal, man tends, when sickness
comes, to seek the help of man in
overcoming the difficulty. Soon they
find that only God is sufficient for
their need, and He whom they have
hitherto ignored is appealed to in
prayer. Men and organizations
quick to grasp an opportunity to set
themselves forward appear as so
called faith healers. We need to
stress the fact that men may come
direct to Christ who is concerned
about their bodies and their health
and that they may come without in
termediary, simply by faith in Him.
I. The Outreach of Faith (vv. 2-8).
Three things appear here and they
each have value and importance.
1. Action (w. 2-5). The centurion
was a good man and so kind toward
the Jews that he had built them a
synagogue. (One wonders whether a
Roman soldier of today would show
such a spirit). He was compassion
ate, stirred by the illness of a slave.
He had a need which no man could
meet. Where should he turn? Some
one told him about Jesus. Blessed
and fruitful testimony! He acted in
faith and sent word to the Master.
He acted on his knowledge. Let your
faith also become active.
2. Humility (vv. 6,7). Socially
and officially the centurion was far
above Jesus, but he recognized His
Lordship and knew himself to be un
worthy that Christ should enter his
house. True faith is humble. It
has nothing to do with the brazen
commanding of God which some
seem to regard as such a magnifi
cent evidence of faith. Watch for
the mark of genuine and courteous
humility if you would find men and
women of faith.
3. Confidence (vv. 7,8). There is
nothing like this assurance of faith
anywhere; in fact, Jesus said He
had not seen it in all Israel. Know
ing the manner in which his com
mands were carried out within the
realm of his authority and recog
nizing Jesus as the Son of God, the
centurion without hesitation accept
ed His absolute power over sickness.
“Thank God! the centurion was
right about that. Sickness is ab
solutely subject to the word of Jesus
and so also are demons, sea and
wind, and death itself (Luke 4:35,
36, 39; Mark 4:39; John 11:43, 44)”
(Bradbury).
11. The Reward of Faith (vv. 9-15).
First of all we note that faith in
God brings not only the individual
but those round about him a real
1. Blessing (v. 9). The faith of
this man delighted the heart of Je
sus with a great joy. He commented
on it and commended it to those
round about. The story of it has
come down through the centuries to
stir us and stimulate us to belief in
Christ. Faith in Him brings bless
ing, not only to the immediate bene
ficiary and at the moment, but lives
on in blessing to others. Do we
have that kind of faith? We also note
that it resulted in
2. Healing (v. 10), Faith gets re
sults because it releases the omnipo
tence of God. The young man was
healed at the word of Jesus, in re
sponse to the centurion’s faith. In
the closing verses of our lesson we
see also the
3. Raising of the Dead (vv. 11-15).
The mighty and compassionate Son
of man met a poor widow from
whom death had taken her only stay
and comfort—a young man. She was
apparently too deeply stricken to
even call on Jesus for help, but one
can almost feel her faith leap to
His words, “Weep not.” His divine
voice then reached . into the next
world and called the young man
back to life. The day that hsd start
ed as the saddest and darkest in
her life closed as the most blessed
and joyful in her experience, be
cause she had met Jesus.
Reader, have you met the tender,
loving, omnipotent Jesus? He wants
to be your Saviour, Lord, and ever
present friend. Will you let Him
into your heart? Now?
A Wise Evaluation
What things were gain to me,
those I counted loss for Christ. Yea
doubtless, and I count all things bui
loss for the excellency of the knowl
edge of Christ Jesus my Lord: foi
whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them but dung,
that I may win Christ.—Phil. 3:7, 4-
