Another “Run Around?”
According to claims filed in New
\ork, either the state of Georgia or
some individuals representing this
state, are indebted to the New York
World’s Fair people, as vfrell as a
Gotham hotel, a total of $41,000.
No one in this state, apparently,
will assume responsibility for the
unpaid debt. All individuals con
tacted deny liability, while both for
mer Governor Rivers and Governor
Taimadge deny the state has any ob
ligation.
It all sounds very legal and very
confusing, but in the parlance of
the man on the street, it would seem
that Georgia, somehow is giving
these New York creditors the well
known “run around.’’ Which Is
something to be deeply regretted.
Oldtuners remember how this state
gave to the battleship “Georgia" a
costly set of silverware for the offi
cers’ mess and how the jeweler who
was given the order later went bank
rupt, chiefly because the legislature,
at session after session, refused to
authorize payment of the just debt.
There have been other instances in
which, whether the state was justi
fied in its attitude or not, the im
pression to outsiders, as well as ma
ny of our own people, was that the
state was welching.
It is to be hoped that some way
will be found of satisfactorily clear
ing up this latest claim for $41,000.
If the money is not owed, that
ought to be made emphatically clear.
If it is, some means should be found
to satisfy the New York creditors, at
least for the sake of the state’s good
name. A good name worth many
times the amount involved.—Atlan

he is right in predicting John Bull’s
success because they believe that
such success would make it easier
for Uncle Sam in the future.

CLOSING DATE FOR
SIGNING APPLICATIONS
“Those farmers in Georgia who
have not signed an application for
payment under the 1940 Agricultu
ral Conservation Program and who
expect to receive payment should
sign immediately," said T. R. Breed
love, Administrative Officer in Charge
of the AAA, today. “March 31 is
the closing date for filing applica
tions. Since no provision is made
for the extension of this closing
date, it is absolutely essential that
farmers sign an application by
March 31 if they hope to receive a
payment.’’
Commenting on the progress of
1940 conservation payments, Mr.
Breedlove stated that practically all
of the 1940 applications for payment
have been received in tlje State of
fice and that a large percentage of
the checks have been issued to the
farmers. Practically all of the re
maining checks for those people
who have signed applications should
be Issued during the month of March.
Payments to date total almost nine
million dollars out of the twelve
million dollars scheduled to be paid
farmers in Georgia under the 1940
Agricultural Conservation Program.
These payments are in addition to
the eight million dollars parity pay
ments paid last summer and fall un
der the 1940 program.
Only a few farmers in Jackson
County have not filed applications
referred to by Mr. Breedlove, ac
cording to William G. Cutts, Treas
urer of the Jackson County A. C. A.
The local office indicates that about
98 per cent of the appications filed
have been forwarded to the State
office and 81 per cent have been
paid. Checks are being released
regularly and all payments should be
completed at an early date.

UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Weatern Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for March 23
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education: used by
permission.
JESUS CONDEMNED AND
CRUCIFIED
LESSON TEXT—Luke 23:13-25. 32-34a.
GOLDEN TEXT—What shall I do then
with Jesus which It called Christ?—Mat
thew 27:22.
Two nights stand out in the story
of the life of Christ, and therefore in
the history of the world. The first
was His first night on earth—that
“silent night, holy night” of which
we sing at Christmas, when He was
born as the babe of Bethlehem. The
other was His last night on earth.
Except for the precious hour of fel
lowship in the upper room and His
communion with the Father in the
agony of Gethsemane, it was a night
of darkness, denial, and betrayal.
There were six trials—or mock
trials—of Jesus, three religious ones
before Annas, then Caiaphas, and
then again before the Sanhedrin;
three political trials, before Pilate,
then Herod, and Pilate again. At
the close of this last trial before
Pilate Jesus stands
I. Cleared by the Evidence (vv.
13-17).
At the first trial before him Pilate
had declared on the basis of his ex
amination that Jesus was “Not
guilty” (v. 4). Herod, to whom He
had been sent, had only played with
Him (vv. 8-11). What a travesty!
Now Pilate again presents Him to
the people as having “no fault.” It
is a striking truth that no man of
any age has ever been able honestly
to point to any fault in the life or
character of Jesus Christ. Think
that over—unbeliever!
Now came Pilate’s first step in
the wrong direction. An accused
man without guilt should be de
clared innocent and released. But
Pilate feared the Jews who had al
ready made trouble for him with
Caesar. So he compromised and
said he would chastise Jesus before
releasing Him. John Morely was
right when he said, “Under some
circumstances compromise is the
most immoral word in the English
language.’’ It gained Pilate nothing;
in fact, it led to his next step down
ward.
11. Condemned Through Coward
ice (vv. 18-25).
To avoid a disturbance and to keep
the leaders from complaining to
Caesar, Pilate gave Jesus into their
hands with the “sentence that it
should be as they required” (v. 24)
when they cried “Crucify Him!”
Pilate was in a difficult place, but
that does not excuse him. It is in
the hard and trying place that a
man should stand for the right,
come what may. Too many of those
who profess to follow Christ are
afraid to stand up for Him in the
hour when men deny Him. Some
unbelievers are fearful about declar
ing their allegiance to Him, because
they fear the opposition of men.
Where is our courage, our manli
ness? Have we lost the moral stam
ina of our pioneer forefathers, the
religious conviction of our Christian
fathers and mothers? Pilate was a
coward, and we are ashamed of
him. Let us not be cowardly and
make Christ ashamed of us (read
Matt. 10:32, 33).
111. Crucified with Malefactors
(vv. 32-34a).
The details of and circumstances
surrounding the crucifixion are of
deep interest to every Christian.
We stand with Luther and weep as
we see Christ’s unspeakable agony,
not only of body but of spirit, and
we cry as did Luther, “For me,
for me!” How can any believer con
template the cross and withhold self,
substance, or service from Christ?
Equally earnest and heart-search
ing is the message of the cross to
the unbeliever. He knows he is
sinner (Rom. 3:23), he knows that
“the wages of sin is death” (Rom.
6:23), and he knows that “neither
is there salvation in any other, for
there is none other name under
heaven given among men whereby
we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
Here at the cross he meets that one
“who his own self bare our sins in
his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed” (I Pet. 2:24).
There were two malefactors who
were crucified with Him (v. 32), and
one railed at Him. The other said,
“Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom”; and Je
sus said to him, “Today thou shalt
be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:39-
43). Unbeliever, will you not just
now take the eternal life which Je
sus died to make possible for you?
Loving His enemies to the last,
our Lord prayed for the forgiveness
of those who thus despitefully used
Him. What matchless grace! One
wonders how many of them by re
pentance for their deeds made it
possible for that prayer to be an
swered. That door of redemption
stands open today for every one
who up to now has crucified the Son
of God afresh (Heb. 6:6) by sin and
unbelief.

This country is apparently ap
proaching what might be called tho
hey-day of prosperity again. Busi
ness is booming in all parts of the
-country, excepting the purely agri
cultural regions. New factories aro
springing up like magic. Pay rolls are
increasing and men are going bacg
to work. The eleventh hour haste
fpr national defense seems to be
doing what the New Deal up to
this time has failed to accomplish.
Private industry is responding
promptly to the demand placed up
on it for the speeding of our nation
al defense. We hear a great deal
about strikes and labor difficulties
which are always a sure sign of
rising prosperity. There are few
strikes during a period of profound
depression.
