Georgia’s baseball fans are getting
another real break this year. The
1941 Southern League schedule,
just recently made public, gives the
Atlanta Crackers twenty-two Sun
day games, including ten Sunday
double-headers, which is a total of
thirty-two week-end contests. In
addition to this twin-bills also are
scheduled for May 30 (Memorial
Day) and July 4. From the view
point of the out-of-town fan, this is
the best schedule ever arranged for
Georgia's only team represented in
Class A-l ball, according to Earl
Mann, president of the Crackers
who every year has sought to im
prove the home schedule for fans
throughout the state. The season
formally opens in Atlanta April 10
with the Knoxville Smokies. The
Crackers are training this spring at
St. Augustine, Fla., with Managei
Paul Richards again at the helm.

chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D.'D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
o( Chicago.
ißelcated by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for March 2
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by

THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST
LESSON TBXT—Luke 19:41—20:8.
GOLDEN TEXT—And why call ye me.
Lord. Lord, and do not the things which 1
say?—Luke |:46.
“By what authority doest thou
these things?’’ The question of the
scribes was a proper one, even
though their spirit and purpose in
asking it may have been wrong. Any
man who claims to have authority
over others should expect to be
asked that question and be prepared
to give an honest answer.
I. Authority Rejected (vv. 41-44).
On the previous day our Lord had
made His kingly triumphant entry
into the city and many had ac
claimed Him (see vv. 37-40); but the
city as a whole—and especially its
leaders, both religious and govern
mental—had rejected Him.
As He came toward the city the
next day and it spread out before
Him in beautiful panorama, His ten
der heart was broken and He wept.
His tears were not for Himself, but
for the people who had rejected
Him. We are told that the word
used “for weeping here does not
mean merely . . . tears’’ but “rath
er the heaving of the bosom, and
the sob and cry of a soul in agony’’
(Morgan).
That is how He feels about you
who reject His authority today, for
the city of Jerusalem represented the
attitude of all unbelieving humanity.
He loves you, sinner, and weeps
over your rejection of Him; but just
as He ultimately had to reject the
city because it rejected Him, He will
have to condemn you in your sin if
you continue to reject Him. Why
do it?
11. Authority Asserted (w. 45, 46).
The act of Jesus in cleansing the
temple was very bold, for He held no
position in the temple and He had no
police powers. Only a man with a
disordered mind or in a frenzy of
anger would assume such authority
if it did not belong to him. This
means that Jesus acting as He did
here, quietly, deliberately, and in
telligently, was declaring by His
deed that the one whose authority is
above and back of all human author
ity had come to cleanse His Father’s
house.
It is a striking scene. Let us see
in it all the gracious majesty, pow
er and authority of the Son of God,
our Saviour and Lord.
111. Authority Accepted (vv. 47,
48).
The people “were very attentive,”
or more effectively, as in the Re
vised Version, they “all hung upon
him.” How remarkable it is that
“the common people heard him
gladly” (Mark 12:37), while the
learned leaders, both in religious
and political circles, hated and re
jected Him.
That situation has continued
throughout the centuries. Let us not
be disturbed or confused by the fact
that so many “leading” men and
women (thank God, not all of them,
by any means) reject or question
the claims of Christ. It is the very
thing we ought to expect.
Young people, be not at all dis
turbed by that supposedly conclu
sive statement, “scholarship is
agreed,” for usually it proves to be
wrong. Don’t be surprised if some
leading novelist, or tycoon of the
business world, is not a follower of
Christ.
Meet Jesus yourself and you will
learn to love Him and want to serve
Him. Get the balanced judgment
of “the common people” who have
really met the Lord, and you will
find the right way—God’s way.
IV. Authority Defended (20:1-8).
Humanly speaking, the priests and
scribes were right when they chal
lenged Christ. He had no official
position which justified His acts and
His words. But note carefully that
the very fact that He, in return for
their “Tell us,” replied, “Tell me,"
indicates that the human authority
which had a right to challenge oth
er human authority had now met
the One who is “the head of all
principality and power.” He had a
supreme right to say, “Before I an
swer you, tell me.”
We are apt to regard the answer
oi Jesus to their question as a skill
ful evasion of a difficult situation,
but it was far more than that. If
they had replied honestly to His
question regarding John, and ad
mitted that His authority was from
heaven, Jesus would probably have
said, “Then what did he say of me?”
He would have reminded them of
the statement of John that he was
not worthy to loose the latchet of
His shoes, of his prophecy of the
judgment to come, of the baptism
of fire (see Luke 3:16-17), of the day
when John called Him “the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of
the world” (John 1:29).
Here was proof concerning His au
thority, but they did not dare to ask
for it because they did not want it.
You too, reader, if you have ques
tions regarding the claim of Christ
to authority over your life may have
a satisfying answer, but only if you
honestly want it and will receive
it with open mind and heart.
FOUR OUT OF SIX
(From Atlanta Journal)
Raymond Duncan, brilliant young
editor of The Ellavillc Sun, reports
un adventure in research which not
only made a story of interest to his
readers but carries implications of
perplexing nature to every rural
county in Georgia.
He went through the rolls of the
graduates of the Schley County Con
solidated High School for the 1926-
35 decade and found that four out
of every six of the boys and girls
have left their home county to pur
sue other careers, be they business,
professional or domestic. The grad
uates numbered 39 boys, 107 girls.
Of the latter., 77 have married but
only 12 of them remain in Schley.
Other places in Georgia have claimed
44 of them, the rest are scattered
in Alabama, Florida, South Caro
lina, Texas, Montana. Of the boys,
26 were reared on farms, several
others in homes having large farm
ing interests. Only four are now
engaged in any agricultural pursuit.
The figures illustrate strikingly
the manner in which the youth of
our rural counties are being syphon
ed to towns and cities, just as a dis
turbing percentage of our Southern
urban youth are being drawn to the
East and Mid-West.
Various studies have been made of
this broad emigration. The most
important was made by Dr. Wilson
Gee, of the University of Virginia.
He found by studying the 1932-33
edition of Who’s Who in America
that of the 6,015 persons listed as
having been reared in the South,
well over one-third then lived else
where. By any method of interpre
tation, the figures indicated very
definitely that the South was suffer
ing a distinct loss in that it was a
heavy contributor of its most prom"
ising citizenship and leadership to
other sections.
The cause of the loss, either from
Schley County, Georgia, or from the
South as a section, was of course be
lief in better economic opportunity
elsewhere. And that trend can be
stopped only from fuller realization
and exploitation of our great natural
resources.
It would be heartening if we could
believe, as some students of the mat
ter suggest, that the South has
enough superior, undiscovered and
unexploited talent to supply abund
antly our own needs for leadership
and at the same time contribute
generously to other parts of the
country.
But we w'ould rather keep our
own younger generation at home, in
Schley County, in Georgia, in the
South where their productive po
tentiality might swell our wealth
and, what is far more important, our
human resources.
MY RESOLVE
Though all the roads be gray
through long tomorrows, let us fol
ow to the mountaintops and seek
the chalice that is the dawn.
To cherish dreams of loveliness, of
silver and of blue,
To find the trail of fairyland, where
all the paths are new;
To make a garden blossom with old
forgotten flowers;
To find a gleam of beauty as I watch
the passing hours.
To find a better pattern for the warp
that I must weave;
To know that life is aways good,
though sometimes I must grieve;
To read a shining splendor in the
tales the far stars tell;
To laugh through weeping raindrops
and to feel thait all is well.
To look for golden rainbows, to love
the simple things,
The dream-blue of the summer sky,
the song the robin sings;
To dare to send my ships to sea, but
find a gallant crew;
To keep their crimson sails afloat—
this I resolve to do.
Connie N. Watts, of Baldwin, Is
a lover of nature. In fact, he is
organizer of a bird club that now
has members in every state in the
Union and in England. Mr. Watts is
head of the Dixie Martin-Bluebird
Co-operative Club, which he found
ed October 8, 1939, after The At
lanta Journal carried an editorial
citing the need for such an organiz
ation. In telling of the club’s work.
Mr. Watts said that it is attempting
to replace bird homes that continu
ally are being destroyed. It is his
belief that civilization will be over
come by insect pests unless bird-life
is given a chance to survive. An
other thing Mr. Watts advocates is a
change from the thrasher to the
bluebird as the official state bird,
which, he adds, is “friendlier and
multiplies quicker. He is a native
bird that does not migrate away
from the state as the thrasher and
the martin do.”
Let's Hope Not
A Hollywood luminary, while in
Atlanta recently, expressed the view
ihat the movie-going public wants
more “sexy” pictures and predicted
that tho studio output for 1941
would be along this line, “as far ns
the Hays office will let them go.”
It is sincerely to be hoped the
producer was cither misquoted or is
at fault in his opinions and prognos
tications.
In the flint place, it does not seem
logical for the public to be finding
increased fascination in the screen
exploitations of sex. It is, of course,
a subject and a fact that we have
with us always, but nevertheless, it
is a sign of moronic mind to over
emphasize what is, after all, only
one fact of that many-sided gem we
call life. And there had been hope,
even confidence, that the movies had
grown up—had passed the moronic
stage in their existence.
No one, surely, wants a return of
that screen era when any cutie pos
sessing what we used to, call “S. A.”
could be boosted into stardom re
gardless of any other qualification,
including that So-often-overlooked
asset of brains. Or, perhaps, should
be asset.
There was a day when the film
without at least one scene of high
voltage sex t.itillation could not hope
to win studio approval. But. it had
been believed, that day was happily
past.
No, thank you, Hollywood. If the
best you can offer in the year 1941,
when freedom is staggering all over
the world and men and women and
babies are dying for a supreme
cause, is “racy sex stuff,” you’d bet
ter abandon feature production and
devote yourself entirely to newsree l
distribution with an occasional fairy
tale fantasy about Donald Duck oi
Pluto the Pup.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
The Value of Past
Due Accounts
The National Retail Credit Asso
ciation recently published its find
ings on the study which it had made
over a period of years among many
groups of business showing the chan
j ces of salvaging delinquent accounts.
I Divided according to age groups the
chances are as follows:
Over 60 days old ’B9 per cent.
Over 6 months old __ 67 per cent.
Over 1 year old 45 per cent.
Over 2 years old 23 per cent.
Over 3 years old 15 per cent.
In another survey to determine
what percentage of customers avoid
ed establishments where they had
past due accounts it was found that
when an account had gone thirty
days over the rcedit terms there is a
17 per cent possibility of the custo
mer not buying during the current
month. When the account has gone
sixty days beyond the due date, the
chance of not seeing the customer
is 28 per cent, and when the account
is ninety days over terms there is a
70 per cent likelihood that the cus
tomer will not do any buying
When you have past due accounts j
don’t wait until you lose your cus- |
tomer and the chances of collecting
the account are a hundred to one.

One Hundred Years Ago
JUST A LITTLE over 100 years ago:
There was not a public library i’x
the United States.
Almost all furniture was imports!
from England.
There was only one hat factory;
and it made cocked hats.
Every gentleman wore a queues
and powdered his hair.
Crockery plates were objected to
because they dulled knives.
Virginia contained a fifth of thw
whole population of the United Bta
tes.
A man who jeered at a preacht r
or criticized a sermon was fined^
Two stagecoaches bore all the trav
el between New York and Boston.
The whipping post and pillory
were still used in Boston and New
York.
Buttons were scarce and expen
sive, and trousers were fastened
with pegs or lace.
Leather breeches, a checked shirt,
a red flannel jacket and a cocked
hat formed the dress of a real arti
san.
Beef, pork, salt fish and hominy
were the staple diet all the year
round.
PENNIES AND NICKELS
FOR DEFENSE
Washington. An unsolicited
stream of cash and checks—some
times even pennies and postage
stamps—is trickling into the treas
ury every day from Americans eager
to help their country prepare for
defense.
An Indian chief sent in a dollar.
A Massachusetts girl gave 12
cents she earned picking berries.
A Korean, ineligible for U, S.
citizenship, said he thought America
“a wonderful country” anyway,
and contributed SIOO.
Treasury officials said a surprising
ly large part of the $5,720 received
so far came from poor or disabled
persons.
The offerings have been addressed
to President Roosevelt, to the treas
ury, defense commission and mjtfjy
other agencies. Some of the givers
have promsied regular remittances
of as much as 4 per cent of their fn
come, and are living up to their
word.
I The school bus situation came to
the forefront in Kentucky recently
when Assistant Attorney General W.
Owen Keller ruled that public school
buses could be used to transport
children only to and from school or
school athletic teams to and from
regularly scheduled athletic con
tests. The Assistant Attorney Gen
eral said there have been whole sale
violations of the Kentucky law j)/
the transport of WPA workers, par
ents of school children, and em
ployees of boards of education in the
public school buses. He gave the
opinion that only the children and
the athletic teams were eigible for
transportation under existing sta
tutes, and that, in the case of tho
athletic teams, expenses must come
out of game receipts.
Kindness in ourselves is the homy
that blunts the sting of unkindnesrf
in another.—Landor.
