Rev. Holder’s subject was taken
from the first chapter and fourteenth
rtrse of the Book of Romans, “I am
debtor both to the Greeks and the
Barbarians; both to the wise and
the unwise."
After reading his text he did not
refer one time to any notes but
stood before the people and preach
ed the word without halting, hesitat
ing, repeating or being tautological.
He knew what he wished to say and
expressed himself clearly, concisely
and earnestly.
He said it is one of the highest
honors that can come to any man to
preach the gospel, but it is an especi
ally high honor to preach to young
graduates who are on the threshold
of manhood and womanhood.
In the analysis of his text he di
vided it into four parts. First, we
are indebted to those who have gone
before us. No one can live long
enough to pay the obligations he
owes to those who have gone be
fore. These blessings cannot all be
counted.
In the second place we are indebt
ed to those who come after us.
Heritage of a healthy and sound
body. The preacher did not say it
boastfully, but gladly and humbly,
that he has a sound body and has
never had the need of a physician’s
service. Our heritage to those who
come after us are lives of intellectu
al and moral strength. Give them
the heritage of a good name. Some
say there is nothing in a name, but
you know the reaction when the
names of Jesus and Judas are called.
In the third place we are indebted
to our country for many blessings:
to think, to be free, to have the
right to express ourselves on any
matter, to own property, to obtain a
education, to elect our rulers and
make our laws and above all to wor
ship God according to the dictates
of our own consciences. The liberty
we enjoy must be kept pure and
unsullied, without any interference
from any other land or from any
dictator or tryant.
In the fourth place we are indebt
ed to Jesus Christ and his church.
He came into the world to teach
us to respect one another and our
selves. We are not worms of the
dust but human beings with a
soul. Christ paid a price—the
greatest price that could be paid for
our salvation—He gave his life for
us. He taught us love. “Love ye
one another as I have loved you.
He said he could go on and on and
tell what debts we owe Christ, but
he urged young people to follow
Christ, to be obedient to Him, to
love Him and so live that you can
look any man in the and not
be afraid. Get education, get
knowledge and wisdom, but the great
thing in this life is not merely to
know, but to be.—To be a true citi
zen with character that will be all
strength on earth but be with us in
eternity.

HOME DEMONSTRATION
ITEMS
MISS BOWMAN SAYS GOOD-BYE
Since my work, as Home Demon
stration Agent of Jackson County
ends this May 23rd, I wish to express
my sincere appreciation for the co
operation and courtesies of all Agen
cies and Business Firms which have
contributed in any way to the suc
cess of Home Demonstration Work
in the county. My work here has
been most pleasant. At present we
do not know who the new Home
Agent will be but I am sure she will
receive the same full cooperation
given me.
The service rendered by every
Home Agent is only a link in a
great chain and a change of agents
should be a minor item in Extension
work. So the Home Demonstration
Clubs are carrying on their regular
meetings themselves and the girls
are to continue with their home pro
jects and in some cases meet with
the women’s clubs until another
agent arrives.
If I should leave with you any
thought or philosophy, it is on our
Home Demonstration Symbol:
Co-operative effort gives to qjl the
power
So needed for Extension every day
and hour,
To merit praise for Service given
day by day
Just let Home Demonstration point
the way.
Great poets eulogize the sacredness
of Home
The loyal family through love may
overcome,
And all these work together with
small or greater gift
To raise standard’s high—Commun
ity uplift.
The Betty Lamp was used to shed
its glowing ray,
And guide the pioneers at close of
busy day,
Its symbol is for the light of Knowl
edge bright,
To guide this generation in the way
aright.
The Olive branch is symbol of victory
and peace;
The Golden Grain means plenty, Har
vest time increase;
The glowing Hearthfire burns to
warm and cheer and bless,
The signs all together mean glorious
success!”
