" AMEIUCTS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 29, 1914
“ME AND \OU BOTH ”
The American scholar, teacher, author, and diplomat, Henry Van
Dyke, must pardon the slang title of these remarks. In a poem, “America
tor Me,” he sings:
O, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
And Paris Is a woman's town, with flowers in her hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.
I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The past is too much with her, and the people looking back;
But the glory of the present is to make the future free —
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be.
0, It’s home again, and home again, America for me!
I want a ship that’s westward bound to plow the rolling sea,
To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars.
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.
We are still where we were in October, when our good President Wil
son called ofr prayer for peace; While sympathizing with the unfortunate
beyond the seas, we are thanking God that a Genoese gentleman by the
name of Christoforo Columbo discovered America.
WATCH THE WILY JAP.
France objects to the suggestion of England, that some 250,000 Japs be
brought into the European land struggle. France is wise. Japan has al
ready offered to do, and tried to do, more than the Anglo- Japanese treaty
calls for. We should say “seems” to call for, because it Is pretty well un
derstood that there is some secret agreement. The character of the Jap is
to take all he can get and then take more if he can.
A cartoonist says, “Germany is willing to fight to the last German, and
England to the last Frenchman.” France very well knows that if Japan
gets a good start she may be willing to fight to the last Frenchman and
the last Englishman, and so on.
i
ADVICE TO HARD-TIME TALKERS.
The editor of the Milan Standard seaks out plainly to the wailers, or
at least some of them:
“You know what’s the matter with you? You’ve been going too fast a
gait. You have been traveling a $2,400 road when you ought to have been
riding on a $1,200 road. And you S6OO guys have been trying to travel with
the $1,200 fellows. That’s the trouble. It’s not hard times —it’s damfool
times. Wake up! Interview yourself in the morning and talk it over.”
This advice is a bit cruel to the good fellows who have stretched their
currency in the effort to be generous at Christmas times. Be that as it
may, just at this time it is well to remember grandmother’s adage: “Cut
your pattern by the cloth.”
DEATH TO THE DEMON
A Columbus, Ohio Brewery company, a $12,000,000 corporation, went
into the hands of a receiver, recently, because of the loss of trade in Vir
ginia and West Virginia. Surely the death-dealers shall not flourish for
ever. Grandchildren of the present generation of children will read, with
amazement, that their forefathers so long permitted the making and th i
selling of a stuff that destroyed body, brain, and soul.
THE VALUE OF FRESH AIR.
Dr. Wiley, the pure food specialist offers the following advice: .“To
cure a cold, get a bottle of cough syrup, set it on the table In the sleeping
room, open all the window's, throw the bottle of medicine out of one of the
windows, leave all the windows open, and go to bed.”
We have quoted from memory, but we have given the thought. Dr.
Wiley does not mean to “throw’ off” on the many valuable remedies for
colds, but he does mean to stress the value of fresh air in the treatment of
all ailments in which the organs of breathing are involved.
If people were accustomed to plenty of fresh air at night there would
be fewer colds and better general health. Pure air means pure blood;
pure blood means a healthy body; a healthy body means a cheerful spirit;
a cheerful Bpirlt means the opportunity for a cleaner soul. B/ all meaii3

PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
In an address to young preachers, a speaker once said, “Pray without
ceasing and shave every morning." He was speaking to men only, and so
1 are we. *
The good women, from Eve to the present, have cultivated the happy
art of appearing well in. public. Men, young and old, many of them, need
to be reminded of the “commercial asset of being neatly and sensibly
dressed.”
Appearance counts in getting a job, appearance counts in holding a
job, appearance counts in getting and holding another job—when the first
gives out —and so to the end.

TRY AGAIN.
In one of Robert Louis Stevenson's intimate little essay-sermons, be
declares that no one ought to be ashamed if the following is to be his epi
taph- “Here lies one who meant well,-tried a little, and failed much.’’
If there is any fault to he found with Stevenson’s life-philosophy, here,
it is that he is too liberal. To mean well—intelligently to mean well—is all
right. To fail much is pardonable, provided one has tried much; but to try
only a little and then fail much does not seem to count success. Could one
always choose his own plan, doubtless it would be: Mean well, try much,
fail a little. Whatever Stevenson’s talk, or ours, comes to, the important
fact remains: If the thing is worth while, and we have failed, we can
TRY AGAIN.
HURT OF LORD’S SUPPER WAS TOLD
IN THE INJUNCTION PETITION AIMED
AT ARIZONA'S PROHIGITION LAW
I
TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 29.—The story
of the Lord’s Supper was recited in
the petition for an injunction against
the enforcement of the Arizonia prohi
bition law, which was filed in the
United l States district court on behalf
of the Rev. Thomas M. Connolly, pas
tor of All Saints’ Catholic Church
here.
The last supper, with it breaking of
bread and giving of wine, is symboliz
ed in the Catholic ceremony of the
mass by the sacrament of the-Euchar
ist, and the petition of the priest sets
forth Christ’s command, “Do this in
commemoration of Me,” as a mandate
upon the church to continue a sacra
ment which, it is contended, would be
prohibited by the sweeping provisions
of the dry law against the manufac
ture, introduction, sale, or use of alco
holic beverages under any pretense
whatever.
Judge Sawtelle, after hearing argu
ments on the petition, rendered a brief
decision, in which he denied the in
junction. Appeal to the United States
Supreme Court will be taken at once.
Immediately after the decision was
rendered attorneys for the Rev. Mr.
Connolly and for other petitioners
made a motion to stay the execution of
the law pending the outcome of the ap
peal to the United States Supreme
Court.
This motion was denied, thus clear
ing the way for the law to become ef
fective on the date set, January 1.

$60,000 MEMORIAL
TO DR. WILLINGHAM
TO BE ERECTED IX CHINA IF THE
MOVEMENT LAUNCHED IN
MACON SUCCEEDS.
(Special to Times-Recorder.)
MACON, Ga., Dec. 29. —A movement
for the building of a $50,000 memorial
in the heart of China for the late Dr.
R. J. Willingham, secretary of the
Foreign Mission Board of the South
ern Baptist convention, whose death
occurred recently in Richmond, Va.,
wbere he had been stationed 22 years,
was launched at memorial services
held here in his honor.
The plan was suggested by Dr. J. L.
White, former pastor of the Vineville
Baptist church, who leaves this week
to assume the pastorate of the Atlanta
Baptist Tabernacle. Dr. White was
a close personal friend of Dr. Willing
ham, and paid a glowing tribute to
his memory at the service here.
“The building of a memorial house
of worship in China that will bear
Dr. Willingham’s name will be the
greatest monument the Baptists of the
South could erect to his memory,”
said Dr. White. “Personally, I hope j
that it will start from Macon.”
So far no definite plan has been
proposed for raising the money for
the memorial, but It is understood
one will be announced before long.
Certain it is that Macon, which was
Dr. Willingham’s former home ami
where several of his brothers, all
wealthy, now reside, will respond lib
erally when the time comes.
Dr. W. L. Pickard, president of
Mercer University, and Dr. E. C.
Dargan, pastor of the First Baptist
church, and former president of the
Southern, Baptist convention, were
among those who eulogized Dr. Wil
lingham at the memorial service held
here.
