Sunday Sc–iool Lesson
The Christian Minister
Lesson: 1 Timothy, Chapter 4: j
II Timothy 2:1-4.
Golden Text: Neglect not the gift
that is in thee. I Timothy 4:14.
Every one should try to achieve
the ideal of goodness in his calling
in life. If he is a farmer re should
be a good farmer, or a carpenter
a good car P enter - or a physician a
good physici an- He should k " ow
his business u by proper preparation
for it and throw his heart and
enthusiasm into it.
Of course this applies to the
minister of Jesus Christ, it is a
high calling and calls {or high
ideals and endeavors - Paul sa F s to
Timothy, “If thou put the brethren
in mind of these things, thou shalt
be a good minister .
The things referred to in the pre
ceding verses relate to certain
heretical doctrines and practices
of the day, and the good minister
will not overlook unsound current
teachings and rites that are put
forth in the name of religion.
The minister cannot stand aloof
from the life of his time but must
watch it and keep his people warn
against “seducing spirits and
doctrines of demons.”
He must be a man “nourished in
the words of the faith and of the
f ood d ° ctrine -” a ? d he Tf“ re ;,
Bodily exercise, continues Paul,
is ’’profitable for a little,” which
implies that a minister may over
do the matter oft bodily exercise,
say on the golf course, but he ought
to indulge in enough of it to keep
himself in god health and bodily
vigor; for a chronic or sick preach
er will make a sick sermon that
will make the people sick.
However “godliness is profitable
for all things, havin gpromise of
the life which now is, and of that
which is to come.” This seems to
put “profit” into business itself as
a rightful part of godliness, and
surely business is necessary in our
world or we would have nothing
to wear or eat.
It is good for business for god
liness teaches and enjoins the
principles of honest service and
truth telling and brotherhood in
business, and these will safeguard
it from unfair dealing and socially
injurious ends and means.
Godliness means that we are like
God, and it theeby makes us shar
ers with him in his abundant and
blessed life.
Yet we do not seem to like the
word “godly” as though it were too
otherworldly or too pious and aus
tere and sanctimonious for
world; but this is to mistake
true nature.
The reason we may not
some pious people is not
they are too pious but because
are r.ot pious enough.
If they were truly more
they would not seem narrow
unattractive and forever
but they would have in them

It lays up treasures in the
of eternity where it can ever
or fade away and where no
honest officials can break
and steal it.
We crave “security” for
future and are anxious about
investments, but the best and
absolute security is that which
have invested with God.
Godliness is secure and
ishable as God himself and
all things else we should ptit
treasures and souls in his
The minister that is to be a
preacher must bring “beaten
into his pulpit, the very sweat
brain, and then he can speak
and guide and inspire people and
they will gladly hear and follow
him.
So must the Sunday School
teacher do something more than
give a hurried reading to the les
son, but bring to the class the
ripened result of reading and study
and pass the lesson through the
process of meditation and experi
ence and then he can teach it so
as to hold the attention of the class
and show them wondrous things
out of God’s word.
If it be thought that this ideal of
study and thorough preparation is :
too high and hard for fhe ordinary
person to attain to it. Paul meets
this point with his admonition to
“neglect not the gift that is in
thee.”
This implies that there is far
more in us than we have yet
brought out.
It lies in us a slumbering spark
perhaps emitting smoke that only
dims and dulls our personality,
but if we were to blow upon it it
would kindle into' bright flames
that would illuminate us and make
us shine and sparkle.
It is wonderful how some event
or crisis in our lives may thus
kindle us and set us on fire and
make us burning and shining
lights.
We can do this by breathing up
on our gift deeper breaths of will
and energy that blow upon the
dormant embers in us and bring
out their slumbering power.
This exercise of deeper breath
ing must not be a passing mood but
a permanent effort and habit.
“Continue in these things; for in
doing this thou shalt save both
thyself and them that hear thee.”
Paul in his second letter to
Timothy gives good counsel to the
young minister who" was serving
under him. “Suffer hardship with
me, as a good soldier of Jesus
Christ.”
Paul had a right to appeal to his
own example for he had suffered
hardship during all his Christian
ministry and could unroll a, cata
logue of sufferings such as no oth
er apostle could offer. He now
calls upon Timothy to follow in the
same path.
The Christian minister must not
demand or expect an easy time.
Let us gird up our loins and take
what comes to us without com
plaint and show the spirit of a good
soldier as we camp and march with
the hosts of God in the warfare
against the sinful and rebellious
world.

The Milstead Grammar school
won two second places at the
Rockdale County American Legion
Fair, in Conyers. They were: sec
ond place for the best school ex
hibit, as a whole, and second place
for the best grammar school ex
hibit. Milstead also took much in
terest in the soap box derby held
in connection with the fair on the
Riverside Golf Course Hill. Sever
al of the Milstead youngsters made
cars, Julian Bennett, of Conyers,
was winner of the first. Warren
Hicks of Milstead was winner of
the second heat and won second
place in the derby.
Quite a few mothers and fathers
have been attending the special
chapel programs given every Fri
flay by the respective classes. They
are always welcome and we hope
they will continue to show such
interest in the school. The begin
ners’ first grade will give the pro
gram next Friday morning,
The basketball team will open
fhe season this week with games
with Bethel. Judging from practice
games, Milstead will give them
quite a bit of competition.
The Milstead Y. M. C. A. basket
ball team had an interesting game
last Friday evening with the
Parks-Chambers team from At
lanta. The visiting team held a big
lead during the first half of the
game but the Milstead boys caught
up and won by a score of 55-52.
The fourth quarterly conference
of the Milstead charge was held at
the Milstead Methodist Church
Sunday night. Good reports were
made from both churches. We re
gret to lose Dr. Rogers as presiding
elder. He has preached some very
interesting sermons, presided
gracefully, and handled the
ness affairs in a very
manner. We are hoping that
pastor will return as he and
family have endeared
to the community.

ROYAL AMBASSADOR
The Fuller E. Callaway
of Royal Ambassadors,
of W. M. U. of the Milstead
tist church, Milstead, Georgia
last Tesday night at the Y. M.
A. for their regular weekly
ing.
The Royal Ambassador
was organized three months
under the auspices of the
men’s Missionary Society of
stead Baptist church with the
of Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. Buice
Lithonia. The R. A.’s then
eight members. Since that time
MERCHANTS LASH
PLANS FOR HIKE
IN STATE
Georgia retail merchants
automobile dealers united in
opposition to any increase in
tax burden now imposed on
gians and called on the State Ad
ministration to reduce the mount
ing expense of state government.
Pointing to an increase of
million dollars this year in the
taxes imposed by the state, James
V. Carmichael, Cobb county rep
resentative and principal speaker
at a dinner attended by merchants
representing more than one hun
dred Georgia cities, asserted that
the state government should not
seek more revenues until it was de
termined what would be returned
by the increased taxes provided by
the regular session of the Assemb
ly this year.
A resolution adopted by the
Georiga Mercantile Association
and the Georgia Automobile Deal
ers’ Association states: “Any new
or additional taxes at this time
would inevitably cause further
hesitation and uncertainty in busi
ness and industry, and would prove
detrimental to all the people of the
state.”
R. A.’s have added eight more to
their number and are still going
strong.
The officers of the chapter are:
Clinton F. Darnell, Counselor;
Jack Evans, Ambassador-in-chief;
W. H. Mathis, Jr., Assistant Am
bassador-in-chief; Lonnie Miles
Waters, Treasurer; Dewey Robin
son, Herald; Charles Smith, Scribe.
The R. A.’s selected the name
Fuller E. Callaway Chapter in
memory of Mr. Fuller E. Callaway,
Sr. who did so much to help the
living conditions and to help
churches of Callaway Mills Em
ployees.
The purpose of the R. A. is to
further the work of the mission
ary at home and abroad, and to
carry the name of Christ to every
nation and people in the world,
with a view of eventually bringing
about universal peace and
perity.

Letters To
The Editor
Mr. A. B. Dennis
Editor Covington News
Covington, Georgia
Dear Mr. Dennis:
The Covington News reaches me
here at Brenau College every
week, and it is certainly a conso
lation to read about the “home
town folks.” I enjoy the Covington
News more each week, and think
it would now be hardly possible
for me to be without your paper.
My first year at Brenau here in
Gainesville is being pleasantly
spent in the friendly atmosphere,
with an ideal that I strive to fol
j 0 w.
We have students here from all
parts of the United States forty
different states, which shows how
widely known Brenau College is
lor its fine music conservatory,
School of Drama and Painting, as
well as the usual academic courses
for the A. B. degree.
f am proud of having Covington
for my home town, and of Brenau
College for my second home.
Very sincerely,
