I Am The Church anti
i Am Calling You!
Nowhere in history is there a j
picture of greater progress,
more happiness, success and ma
terial wealth than that of Amer
ica. When the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth, their first act was
to bend the knee to the All Wise j
who had guided them to these I
shores. From that day to this, I
America has never known the
conquering heel of an enemy.
A little handful of poor but
valiant farmers and tradesmen,
under the leadership ot Wash
ington, compelled the great
English armies to retire across
the ocean in defeat.
We fought and suffered thru
four years of internal strife dur
ing the War Between the States,
and though one of the richest
prizes on the globe, no nation
dared to attack America even
thoijgh weakened and near ex
haustion.
She has established a place in
the sun for herself in the i ealms
of literature, art and music. Her
inventive geniuses have blessed
the world with their discoveries.
No nation has ever accumulated
the wealth that blesses her peo
ple. When other nations were
plotting and planning and grab
bing the lands of others, Amer
ica has give to the weaker from
h< r stores of wealth and has de
cked to enrich hersell at the ex
pense of the less fortunate.
For ail of these blessings there
must be a reason—there is a
reason. Placing her welfare in
the hands of a Greater Power,
America has been—
Led by day in a pillar of a
cloud, to lead them the way; and
by night, in a pillar of lire, to
give them light; to go by day and
night.
That pillow has been her
churches, large and magnificent;
’.mail and humble; Protestant,
Jewish, and Catholic; every man
a church of his choice, but a
church.
Seeking religious freedom,
America was settled by those
who believed in churches and
who, on landing on her hospita
ble shores, budded churches of
their choice.
In defining the church and
what it means to Americans,
some one has written:
I am the best friend of man
kind. To the man who prizes
sanity, peacefulness, pure-mind
edness, social standing and lon
gevity, I an> a necessity.

I love gifts that gold cannot

are given freely to all that ask.

life, the eagerness, the spirit of
youth, which feels that it has
something to live for ahead; I
meet you with outstretched arms
and song’s of gladness.
Some time—some day—some

you will yearn for the touch of

I am your Comforter and best

Wipe out the churches and
America would rot and decay.
The building of centuries would
go for naught. Ihe church has
made America what it is. Don’t
usurp her functions, but from
inside her walls aid in the build

greater America.
The church - the church of
your choice is calling you.

In his column recently Bill
reprints two paragraphs from
the Butler 1 lerald, of which
Charley Benns is editor. The
first paragraph reads*
One thing certain about Geor

almost in the geographical center

Closely following the above
is another paragraph from the
Herald which reads:

A Notable
Investment-
After going into and thor
oughly investigating the possi
bilities of one of our sister
States, the prospector returns |
and pays cash for 2, 100 acres ;
of land near Cordele, the Cor
dele Dispatch says in an edi
torial, observing that—
We may credit Florida with
having made it possible. This
man was moved by the Florida
advertising. It resulted in an im
provement in the ownership of
a large acreage of lands in this
splendid section of Georgia. It
means ultimate high-class farm
development here that bight nev
er have been accomplished in this
generation.
And yet the new purchaser has
chosen well. We believe he has
invested wisely.
The Dispatch adds that many I
eyes are on this section of the
State, new comers stopping
long enough to investigate, be- I
ing attracted not so much by out- !
side advertising as what they
SEE being accomplished—real- ’
izing the possibilities heretofore
unknown.
An industrious white family
on every hundred or so acres of
Sumter or Terrell or Crisp lands
will beat all the industrial plants
investing a similar sum of mon
ey. ,

of the country are headed this

Whither Are We
Drifting?—
The Chapel Hill (N. C.)
Weekly states that a young wo
man who applied for a position
as 'school teacheir in a North
Carolina county was compelled
to sign a contract containing
these items:
“I further agree that I will
take a vital interest in church
and Sunday school work and
other community activities. I
will not attend sorry moving pic
ture shows. . . I will not fall in
love ... I will do nothing to
cause rgiht-thinking people to
speak disparagingly of me or my
work.”
This contract is one of the
biggest ever signed by a mortal
being, observes the Charleston
News and Courier in the fol
lowing timely and pertinent com
ment:
Contracting not to fail in love is
a large order in itself. Agree
ing to stay away from the movies
is humanly possible, not to say
easy. But consider what it means
to bind one’s self to ‘take a vital’
interest’ in all community activi
ties. Would the school teacher
so' contracting be relieved of her
job if she refused to contribute
to the Newsboys Christian Dinner,
the Jumbo Club Picnic and the
Minstrel show of the Rhode Island
Red Ken Society? She might be.
How the school teacher can
control the thinking of others
and prove that it is right think
ing or the reverse is a question
that is unanswerable.
Probably the contract was
drafted by Blease of South Caro
lina, or Upshaw of Georgia, or
maybe they collaborated in its
construction.

about what is going on about him,
to be qualified to vote?
Well, here is how much one voter
knew:
Joe Rodriguez of Martinez/ Cal.,
left his cabin one evening and went]
down to the neighboring city of |
Oakland, only a few miles away, to
“bum around a while and have a
good time.’’
He registered at a hotel in the |
middle of town, where he was well |
known, visited his brother-in-law
and other friends, went to the
moviesj and “bummed around” gen
erally.
The very night he left a man was
murdered in the factory adjacent to
Joe’s cabin, and the body was iden
tified as Joe. Every edition-of every
paper sold in Oakland was full of
the murder in the factory adjacent
to Joe’s cabin, and the body was
identified as Joe. Every edition of
every paper sold in Oakland was
full of the murder, with headlines
all across the page. Everybody in
Oakland who ever read anything, or
who knew anybody who did, was
talking about it.
Joe was far more famous than
any candidate for office he will
ever have to vote for. Also, bis
own reported murder would na
turally be more interesting to him
than any political issue will ever be.
But Joe and his friends were prob
ably the only people in Oakland
who did not know Os his sudden
fame. They did not notice the news
paper headlines themselves, though
they were being shouted on the
streets all around them, nor talk to
anyone who did. A
After he had “hoaimed” enough,
Joe walked back, ts his cabin, as

i Public Regulation
Can Regulate
How far wo are from the “trust
busting” era! President Coolidge is
j urging the railroads to consolidate,
and only hoping that they will do
it voluntarily, so that he will not
have to resort to law to compel
them. And yet the time when such
mergers were wicked and crimin:'.]
is so near that the man who made
a reputation as Roosevelt’s most ef
ficient buster is still active enough
to be secretary of state.
It is the final triumph and ac
ceptance of the principle of public
regulation. Monopoly could plways
be more efficient and economical
than competitive individualism— if
it would. But, left to itself, it
never would. So, while we finally
regulated the railroad by law, w?
were just distrustful enough of our
own regulations to insist on the old
automatic regulation of competi
tion, too. Now we know better.
We know that public regulation can
1 regulate, and we trust it to do so.
We therefore insist on the econo-
I mies of relative monopoly, well
knowing that we can assure our-
j selves of the benefits of the savings.

Rare Record
of World War
in Hoover Home
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
August 6—The Hoover War Li
brary, endowed by Secretary of
Commerce Herbert C. Hoover at
Stanford University, has received
44,500 books and pamphlets, in
nearly all languages. Every one
bears in some way on the World
War.
The largest number, 12,000, are
printed in Russian; 10,000 are in
French. 9,000 in English. The rest
are divided among Hungarian, Ital
ian and other languages.
The library was founded in 1919.
Many of the items, printed or out of
print, are irreplaceable. It offers
students facilities duplicated no
where and paralleled only at Musee
de la Guerre at Paris.
The program of institution calls
for procuring all imjiortar.t official
will see to it that it costs us no
more.
Worker Is Chief Loser
By Excessive Taxes
Finding any way to subsidize the
I poor except at their own expense is
,a . hard search. The British coal
mine workers demand, and are prob
ably entitled to, a wage which the
mines themselves can not pay cut
of the present prices of coal.
It is proposed to subsidize the in
i du: t ry, at other people’s expense,
to keep it going. So th? chancellor
lot the exchequer considers rah iii?
'the monej to pay the workimei’s
wage.; by taxing the workmen's
beer.
j* 01 course, any individual worker'
can avoid the tax by not drinking
beer. But no one who knows the
British workers expects them to do
that. It simply means that all the
workers, by extra prices on beer,
shall pay for the extra beer of part
'of the workers.- Few cases are as
clear as this, but most of the taxes
to “cinch the rich” work out about
the same. The worker is the chief
loser by excessive or demagogic
taxes.
