HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA.
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Doings of Georgia Lawmakers
Gathered For The Benefit
Of Our Reader*
Passes School Bible Amendment
Atlanta. —After a heated debate the
senate passed by a vote of 31 to 13
♦Senator Henderson’s bill amending
the act requiring the Bible to be read
in the public schools of Georgia by
repealing that section which excuses
children from hearing it read upon
written request from their parents.
Senator Henderson took the posi
tion that it would not hurt a stu
dent to hear the Bible read whether
he be Protestant, Catholic or Jew.
Senator Munday suported Senator
Harrison’s position, and said he
doubted if Georgia was the right place
for people to live who do not believe
in the teachings of the Bible.
Leading the minority Senators Pace
and Mason charged that the bill
would deal a terrific blow at personal
liberty and religious freedom.
"I am sorry,” said Senator Pace,
“that the majority of this senate are
narrow-minded enough to force their
consciences to be the guide of other
people. If this i)ill passes Georgia
will no longer be a state of religious
freedom.”
Senator Mason warned that in pass
ing this bill the senate was acting in
direct violation of the spirit of the
pioneers who first settled in America
and declared that it should be a coun
try of personal and religious liberty.
* * •
Property Classification Bill Killed
The Mason bill amending the Con
stitution so as to authorize the gen
eral assembly to classify property for
taxation was killed by the senate af
ter a lengthy debate.
Senator Mason, leading the fight
for the bill, expressed the belief that
its enactment by the legislature and
its ratification by the people would
bring into the treasury enough addi
tional funds to give the educational
institutions adequate appropriation.
He said that classification of property
not only would mean increased reve
; nue, but would relieve those people
In Georgia who are now bearing the
! burden of taxation.

Self-Rising Flour Bill Is Adversed
Advocates and opponents of the bill
by Senator Mason to place certain
on the •fnanufacture and
sale of self-rising flour were heard

judiciary committee. Later, in exec
utive seession, the committee voted
to report the bill adversely.

dalene Showed Her Love for Jesus.
JUNIOR TOPIC—How Mary Magda
lene Shewed Her Gratitude tQ Jesue
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—A Woman’s Grateful Service.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Mary Magdalene, Saved and Serving.
I. Mary Saved (Luke 8:1, 2).
While Jesus and His disciples were
preaching throughout the villages of
Galilee, Mary and certain other wom
en heard the good news of salvation
and were saved. Evil spirits were cast
out of them. Mary had been possessed
with seven demons. The number seven
indicates the completeness of her af
fliction. Bodily affliction usually ac
companied demon possession. Doctor
Erdman says: “It is a cruel error to
confuse Mary Magdalene with the sin
ful woman ef whom Luke has Just
been writing. Mary had suffered from
demon possession, as here stated, but
there is nothing in the gospels to Indi
cate that she had ever been a woman
of notoriously evil life.” So wide
spread is this false impression that
many rescue homes for fallen women
are named unjustly, “Magdalene.”
11. Mary Ministering (Luke 8:8).
She, with certain women who had
been saved from Satan’s power, out of
a heart at gratitude looked after the
Comfort of the Lord and His disciples.
These women must have been In easy
circumstances, as they were able to
buy food and other necessities and,
doubtless, lodging for Jesus and IDs
disciples. These women were the fore
runners of that large company of saved
women who have throughout the Chris
tian centuries been ministering to the
Lord through kindness to His minis
ters. How poor would be this world
without the ministry of godly women.
111. Mar/s Steadfastness (John 19:
26).
After the men and disciples ha’d for
saken the Lord a group of faithful
women remained at the cross, among
whom was Mary Magdalene. Others
lingered, prompted by natural affec
tion, but she lingered out of grateful
love for salvation from Satan’s bond
age.
IV. Mary at the Empty Tomb (John
20:11-18).
1. Mistaken Tears (11-18). She had
come to the tomb to weep and to pay
respect to the body of her Lord. She
was weeping over what she regarded
as a tragic loss. In spite of lrer love
and faith, she was In a state of con
fusion. If she had known what was
revealed to her a short time afterward,
she would not huve thus wept She
was weeping because the tomb was
empty, when the real cause for ween
ing would have been the Lord's body
In the tomb. How many times we
break our hearts over misunderstand
ing. The fact that a living body had
walked out of the tomb Instead of the
dead body In it should have occasioned
rejoicing. The empty tomb is the
Christian’s ground for hope.
2. The Unrecognized Master (vv. 14,
15).
She was within sight of the living
Lord, yet mourning for Him. Let us
look In the right direction and we shall
have our sorrows turned Into Joys. The
reason she did not recognize the Lord
was that He did not appear as she
thought He should. Many times our
preconceived notions prevent us from
seeing Jesus.
8. Restrained Familiarity (vv. 16,
17).
The full meaning of Jesus’ words
when he forbade to touch Him
perhaps we cannot surely know. The
difficulty doubtless inhered In Mary’s
misunderstanding. She seemed to think
that the same relations instituted be
fore the resurrection could be re
sumed. He showed her that He was
ascending into glory and that Ha
should henceforth receive divine wor
ship.
4. Mary Telling the Good News of
the Resurrection (vv. 17, 18).
The need of telling the good news
to the poor despondent disciples was
so urgent that there was no time for
familiarity. What joy there must have
been in the hearts of the disciples at
this good news.
Riches.
If thou are rich thou art poor? for,
like an ass, whose back with ingots
bows, thou bearest thy heavy riches
but a Journey, and death unloads thee.
—Shakespeare.

Double Entry.
I was entering a large bank building
through the revolving doors one eve
ning just as a great crowd of employ
ees was passing out. One, a large
woman, seemed to hurry, I was just
about to step out of the door when this
woman stepped into my compartment
and gave the door a vigorous shove.
She had evidently not seen me at all,
as I am of slight build and the lights
were dim. The door started to whirl
rapidly around nnd there was nothing
for it but to trot back around as fast
as I could, which I did, to the accom
paniment of profuse apologies from
my companion and much applause
from the spectators.—Chicago Tribune.
