Praying
For Rain
Many congregations—and indi-l
viduals—have engaged in prayers 1
for rain. Discussing Dr. Ashby !
Joneg' views on this subject thej
Rome News says:
Dr. Ashby Jones, prominent min
ister in Atlanta who is well known
and highly esteemed in Rome, does
does not believe in praying for j
rain, and is especially opposed to ;
such prayers by edict of the Gover- I
nor of the State. We feel pret- J
ty much as Dr. Jones does about
it, but hesitated to say so because I
of the possibility that some of our ;
devout church friends might mis- i
interpret our position. We believe
in prayer for almost any purpose,
but, like Dr. Jones, we don’t believe
that in the matter of weather God
had been punishing the inhabitants
of certain communities and reward- I
ing other. And like Governor Peay, ’
of Tennessee, who declined to issue j
a proclamation for prayers for
rain, we believe rain is coming in
the course of nature’s process and
it may rain more than we wish.
Then, to bo consistent, we must
pray for dry weather. God knows
best. What we can pray for with
most assurance of response from
the Divine Ruler is thaf we be giv
en the wisdom to meet and utilize
all conditions that arise through
the operations of His rules of na
ture, that we have the fortitude
to undergo adversities of Provi
dence without losing heart, that our
minds be kept clear and our hearts
pure in our dealings with our fel
lowmen.
We recall the story of an old
Baptist minister who summoned
his congregation one Sunday to
engage in an hour devoted entire
ly to Divine supplecation for a
greatly needed rain. His flock
gathered, but the old preacher
was the only one who brought his
umbrella- He declined to go on
with the service, saying his flock
did not possess the needed faith
in their own prayers. ,
James B. Nevin, in the Atlanta
Georgian, cites a somewhat simi-l
ir incident in the following:
A great congregation gathered j
n one of the churches of Durham,
N. C., on Sunday night last to pray
I for rain. While the prayers were
going up, the rain started coming
down—in torrents. As the congre
gation arose to depart—the rain
still falling—it was discovered that
not one among those present had
brought an umbrella. Being
Providence without a sense of hu
mor doubtless would be a weary
and melancholy job.
It is the harsher things we suf
fer in this life that causes us to ap-,
preciate our blessings. The child ]
which has never been denied'
candy can appreciate it as does
the kiddie who enjoys the sweets
of Christmastide.
There's a reason for everything]
in life. But for the extremes in
climate, as in other things, we
would fail to appreciate our bless
ings.

Roosevelt and
Wilson Monuments
According to word from Wash--
ington, there is apt to be sorce
sort of conflict in congress this
fall over a proposed monument
to the late President Roosevelt.
The conflict, it is reported, will
come because admirers of Presi
dent Wilson think he should be
given higher honors.
Let's hope that this conflict
never comes to a head. It would
be highly regrettable. Roosevelt
and Wilson were two fine Ameri- 1
cans, each worth of an inspiring
monument. Surely, Washington
is big enough to hold a memorial
to each of them.

Northern
PropaGanda—
A correspondent in the New
York World recently made the
diaim that the removal of the ne
groes from the South to the North
bad cost the South a billion dol
lars a year "Maybe so,” re
marks the V aldosta Times—
“ But bank clearings and other
statistics show that those who are
taking the nqgro’s place in the
South are bringing more than that
much With them. In the long run
the exodus of the negroes is go
ing to be a good thing for the
North, South and the negroes, too.”
The World's correspondent
>
probably has gotten far enough
away from Wall Stree.t to find out
that the most prosperous part of
the national is the South. And
then, may be he has and is just
shooting propaganda. We are
likely to hear more of this sort
of thing as the men and wealth
continue to flow southward.

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
(Hampton County Guardian.)
Os all unappreciated, neglected
persons, the country doctor is prob
ably the most.
“God and the doctor we alike adore,
Just on the brink of danger, not
before.
The danger past, both alike are re
quired—
God is forgot, and the doctor
slighted.”
is not merely a sentiment. It is an
unfortunate truth.
We rush off to the specialist, who
takes one look at us, looks wise, and
tells us, possibly, what is wrong with
us. Then he charges us a fabulous
fee for so doing, and goes his way)
rejoicing while we hold our noses to I
the grindstone to try to pay him.
On the other hand, the country
doctor calls us into his office and in
vites us to have a chair and tell him
what is wrong with us. To begin
with, we all like to talk about our
symptoms—it’s bred in human flesh
—and so we warm to the country
doctor at once. Then he takes a
real, human, friendly interest in us.
He is never too busy to listen to all
our physical ills, and he offers us
sympathy along with relief. Nor
does he always rush to the medicine
bottle, as, too many are prone to
believe. Often he finds that our ills
are not curable by medicine, and pre
scribes a course of treatment which
will truly benefit—a diet, a rest, of
whatever it is we need. And we
leave his presence feeling that we
have been really benefited, where
too often the specialist, however cap
able he n.ay be, makes us feel that to
him we are only “cases” and not hu
man beings at all.
And it does not matter how tired he
is, or how badly he may feel himself,
the country doctor will rise from his
bed at any hour, drive through a
blinding snow or beating rain, to
come to our bedsides and give us re
lief. So we say, all honor to him.
He is the truest friend that humanity
could have.
ROUGH SLEDDING FOR
ENGLISH TAX DODGERS
(Selma, Ala., Times)
Death is no surer anywhere than
taxes are in Great Britain. The in
heritance tax there would palsy the
average American, and Americans
holding property in England know
the meaning of high taxes. The case
of Harry Payne Whitney is an ex
ample.: The American had been re
sisting a British tax exaction cover
ing four years. It was in the shape
of sur-taxes and his appeal finally
reached the House of Lords, where
quick work was done for it. The ap
peal was dismissed and Whitney has
to fork over the sum. of $436,500. In
England the great American institu
tion known as tax-dodger has rough
sledding. .

WHO’S IN CONGRESS? HE
] SAYS VERY FEW KNOW
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, Nov 24.—How ;
many Americans can tell who repres- (
ents them in Congress? “Very few,” <
answers A. D. Fairbairn, and he (
tells a story which sounds as if he i
knows what he’s talking about. i I
Fairbairn is a Washingtonian who .
recently had occasion to take a trip 1 ;
through 15 of the 48 states, and in
the course of this journey accident ]
started him on an investagation into . ,
the extent of the average man’s fam- >
iliarity with political personalities.
“Amazing ignorance,” is what he
found, “in all walks of life,” he re- (
ports. i
1
** ♦ i
The accident which started him? J
Well, while he was in Omaha it
chanced that he needed to learn ]
the name of the congressman from ’
the second Nebraska district. Taking ;
it for granted that almost any local !
voter could tell him, he asked one. '
To his surprise, the voter didn’t !
know. He asked another. Neither,
did the second one know.’
Curious by thistime, Fairbairn;
kept on asking until he reached the j
26th, a hotel clerk, “who,” he says,
‘stretched his head, gave the matter
about 3 minutes’ thought and then
found, to his keen delight, that he
actually could name Judge W. G.
Sears”—and Sears, by the way, is a
congressman of more than average
distinction. Not to know who he is, in
Omaha, is something like not know
ing who Calvin Coolidge is in Wash
ington.
At that, the hotel clerk was un
acquainted with Sears' politics.

His Omaha experience made such
an impression on Fairbairn that he
continued his questioning through
out the rest of his trip. It led to his
discovery of the fact that “the
Omaha incident was not unusual
but typical.”
It was the same way about sen
ators.
As for cabinet members, Fair
brian says he found hardly anybody
who could name all of them cor
rectly.

Gobs on the cruiser, Trenton are
quoted as Expressing disappoint
ment that President Coolidge didn’t
keep the wallaby they brought back
for him from Tasmania, at the White
Jlouse.
Instead he turned the animal—a
kind of small kangeroo—over to the
Washington zoo.
From inside sources comes the in
formation that the wallaby smelled
'so the president couldn’t stand it.
I It was pointed out to him that walla
; bies frequently are kept as pets in
| Australia and Tasmania. That’s the
. Australians’ and Tasmanians’ look-
I out, replied the “presidential spokes
man,” as for himself, there are
limits to his olfactory endurance.
The light in a pipe will show you

The rhythm and swing of the dances of yore are once again
having their fling. The spirit is spreading the country once more, and
the old-fashioned dance is the thing.
It’s realy surprising how few people know the steps of the sweet I
minuet. To tunes that are quanit-like, old-fashioned and slow, it s
really quite simple to get.
The real modern dances most likely will stay, for the young
folks seem thoroughly sold. But waltzes and such have the right
sort of sway that appeals, very much, to the old.
In grandmother’s day, dancers mingled a bit, with the changing
of partners in style. Community spirit is always a hit. The return
of their dance is worth while.
So, dance, if you will, in the present day swing, but give the
old-timers a chance. In minuets, polkas and such, have your fling,
for they’ll give you thrills, when you dance.
