A Thought
When thou passest through the
waters, I will be with thee; and
through the rivers they shall not
overflow thee; when you walkest
through the fire, thou shalt not be
burned •( neither shall the flame
kindle upon thee.—lsa. 43:2.
And this is the course of Na
ture; there is nothing like suffer
ing to enlighten the giddy brain,
widen the narrow mind, improve
the trival heart.—Charles Reade.
PUT THE FIRST CHURCH
ON YOUR PAY ROLL
‘Out in the country” they have a
custom that beautifully exemplifies
the teaching of the Holy Nazarine.
When Old Man Billy loses his
barn or his home by fire, the neigh
bors gather next morning before
day and put their heads together.
One donates a mule; another a
wagonload of fodder. A bed comes
from another, with sheets and cov
ering from still another. By night
fall,, the neighbor in distress has
been provided for. He can carry
on.
That’s not charity—its simply
being neighborly—lending a help
ing hand, when sympathy and as
sistance is most needed.
A few months ago, the religious
home of one of our church families
was burned. The loss was a com
munity loss. The distress was felt
in most every home in Americus.
The members of the First Meth
odist church rallied without the
loss of a day. Funds were sub
scribed to begin- replacing the
beautiful church. Hardly had the
embers grown cold, when workmen
were bupy clearing away for the
new building; ‘
Pastor Oiltier and his official
family Have labored early and late
to provide the" finances To keep the
workers/kn the job. However, first
funds have been exhausted and the
call went forth Sunday for more
funds./A plan was formed and a
canvyss will be undertaken this
Wedk co keep the construction work
goi/ng on without ~t,hg. loss of a day.
/l<mrj of'the 'First Meth
/dbt church will be given an op
/ pi/tunity' to place the First Meth
( odist church on then- individual
payrolls for a few months.
/ “If 500 people will make weekly
/ payments of what they are able ti
invest in one of God’s edifices,”
said one of the officials, “we will
have funds to meet every pay roll.
Any amount will be accepted—
from*2sc to $5.00 or more a week.”
While the call is directed to the
members of the First Methodist
church, and while it will be the
members of this chrueh who Will be
visited and requested to \make
weekly payments, it seems to us
that the custom of the folks '‘.‘out
in the country” might be followed
fyy “us folks in town.”
F , 4 Put the First Methodist churth
o>\ your pay roll. In later years
you’ll feel a distinct pride in know
ing that you made an investment
in one of God’s edifices.
A WORD OF
APPRECIATION.
The little city of Jesup is to be
congratulated on securing B. H.
Watts, as the editor and owner of
the Jesup Sentinel, a half interest
in the Sentinel having been pur
chased by Mr. Watts.
In a half year, Mr. Watts com
pelted the lovq and respect of ev-
Very one who came in contact with
Hw. He bame to The Times-Ke
corJJpr, January 1, and has devoted
his splendid talents to its editorial
columns, assisting the editor and
owner in giving the readers of The
Times-Recorder editorials and com
ments that were sane and helpful.
He has endeavored to cheer and
brighten the homes into which The
Times-Recorder goes each after
noon
Ke has compelled the love and
fespect of every employee on the
paper—“from the front dor to the
back,” every one loves and re
spects “Uncle Bennie.”
Mr. Watts requested a leave of
absence. His plans for the future
. are not entirely settled and he may
return to the editorial desk in the
fall. He carries with him the best
of wishes of hundreds of friends
and admirers.
SUBMIT CHARTER CHANGES
TO THE CITIZENS.
Billy Jones hit the nail on the
head, when he told the Kiwanis
\ clubs last week that no amendmen
i sbf the City Charter should become
\ffective until it had been ratifiec
t a vote of the people.
Nyernment without the consen
- X people, will eventually lea<
elorCK 1
d ton ...” i
| to distrust and distress for citizen
- i and official alike.
“The charter is all that stands
r between the people and corruption,
e, I have the utmost faith in our of
f; ficials, but we cannot tell what may
come to pass in the future.
“I want you to think over what
o 17
• I have said, for it is my opinion
that no change at any time should
r be made In the Americus charter
’ without submitting that change to
the people for ratification,” de
: dared Mr. Jones
The charter of th? City of Amer
; icus is as sacred 'to its citizens as
the constitution of the Union and
the Constitution of the State.
Neither of these can be amended
I without a vote of the people, and
the same principle should and docs
apply to the charter of the city.
Seldom will the people, as a
whole go wrong. As a rule they
j know what’s best Leave any change
in their charter to them. Right or
wrong, it is the people themselves
who suffer or prosper under
changes in their charter, and their
consent should be had.
It may not always be popular. It
may be that the change is absolute
ly essential and that the people will
vote down the change. Still, it is
their charter and they should have
a voice in any changes that are i
made or contemplated.
THE ROGUE’S GALLERY
*DF BUSINESS.
There was a time when “business
is business” was the excuse for
most any practice by the “sharp”
or the so-called “smart” business
man. But business methods have
changed and are changing. The prac
tices of yesterday, are not counten
anced today.
Following is an editorial we clip
from the Americus Rotary Messen
ger, Luther Hamll, editor. It is an
excerpt from an address delivered
recently by Merle Sidener at the In
ternational Rotary convention:
hirst let’s look at the sneak
thief in business. Here is his iden
tification card. It indicates that he
picks out of all available pockets
while crowding his victims with the
‘business-is-business’ fallacy. The
space for the identifying photo
graph is left blank on this card.
And if, perchance ,the face of the
offender which epmes to your
mind is the face you see in the mir
ror when you shave—take the mat
ter seriously and try to reform
■ him. Inefficiency in business, slow
turnover, high cost of production
and selling, failure to use modern
met hods—these, me the practices
of the sneak thief.
“The next offender is the forg
i er who disposes of merchandise
by means of forged trade names,
here again the space for the
photograph is left blank—you sup
ply the picture! The manufacturer
• or distributor who misbrands or
. mislabels merchandise is guilty of
I business forgery. The adulteration
of commodities, the substituting of
the nioducts of one manufacturer
for another by imitation—these ar e
’ merely steps in business forgery.
“Here is the embezzler who em
bezzles money held in trust by
means of exorbitant or concealed
profits. Following him is the burg-
■ lar who burglarizes the business of
competitors through various tricks
> of unfair competition. The out
standing offenses under this classi-
' fication is commercial bribery
the paying of commissions in
money or other things of value to
> employes of customers for the pur
. pose of influencing their buying
. power, bonuses to jobbers and' re
: tail salesmen, false and misleading
advertising—-even white lies in ad
vertising are phases of business
> burglary. And finally there is the
j .\egg who blows up the reputa-
• tion of competitors by false reports
and destroys good will. The mak-
■ mg of false statements concern
ing competitors and their prod
ucts is the best weapon of the
yegg. The whisper of doubt about
the financial standing of a business
house may do unending damage.
> Rotary International has rec
. ogmzed its opportunity to inspire
f lorward looking constructive busi
ness men to take a positive stand
against these buisness practices
which corrupt the commercial body
of the nation.
"Rotary International gave the
- world a great inspirational doc- i
i trine when it formulated the Code!
. of Ethics. But Rotary International I
j made a constructive contribution I
I to business as an institution when
it devised a practical way of trans
forming those principles into ac
? tion. The movement under the
' leadership of the Business Methods
- , Committee of Rotary International
1 promises to wield such uplifting in
a fluence on business practice in the
- next fifty years that no man dares
prophesy as to the service that
[ will be rendered to humanity.”
e COMMISSIONER
- HAYNES ALL RIGHT.
A magazine which! has freii
f dered great services to the pro
e hibition cause' says that CpM
y missioner Haynes is not big
e enouglßfor the job.
t We think the magazine is
5 mistaken about this. Mr.
Haynes has administered the of
fice with great efficiency. The
trouble is that Mr. Haynes has
been handicapped in away that
would have caused Job to go up
e on the housetop and tear his
ls hair. Whoever is responsible for
R the enforcement of prohibition
" ought tfl have a free hand. It is
* the biggest executive job under
the presidency and ought to be
’* <ut lose from the interference of
superiors.

Daily Poem |
PAGAN MOMENTS
We tend to our daily duty,
We plod' along
With scarcely an eye for beauty
And hardly a thought for song;
Io the work of the world we’re turning
According to scheme and plan,
But now and again we’re yearning
To follow the Pipes o’ Pan.
£
e toil with our humdrum neighbor
In clamor and grit and grime,
For progress is wrought by labor
Which builds us our dreams in time;
But let us not be so rooted
'I o toil that’s the lot of man,
That we cannot at times light-footed,
Perform to the Pipes o’ Pan.
1 hough the bonds of our job enmesh us
As we seek our various goals,
At seasons we must refresh us
With laughter that helps our souls;
We’U win’to fulfillment better.
And live as a happier clan, /
If we shatter, at times, each fetter,
And follow the Pipes o’ Pan!
