Official Oriran of Newton County and The
City of Covington.
Congressman Emmett Owen
The passing of Congressman Emmett Owen will he
regretted by all who knew his sterling worth. Always
the perfect diplomat in his dealing with whom he came
into contact, he was loved by all.
While Congressman Owen did not have the oppor
tunity to visit Newton county often those of us who did
know him felt ourselves fortunate in the acquaintance of
such a splendid gentleman.
The State of Georgia, as well as the Fourth District,
lost a splendid servant in the passing of Congressman
mett Owen. To his loved ones who live in our city go our
sincerest sympathy in their great loss.
Editor Royal Daniel
The passing of Royal Daniel, editor of the Quitman
Free Press, leaves a vacancy in the ranks of the Georgia
Press Association and in the city he served so faithfully.
His was a labor of love in his beioved city where, with bis
wife, Edna Cain Daniel, he published (he Quitman Free
Press, making it one of the best weekly papers in the state.
His failing health had not permitted him to attend
many of the Press Association meetings recently, but those
who had once known him could never forget his lovable
disposition. Each year the question, “Where’s Royal?”
never failed to greet his co-workers as they arrived.
V Truly a great newspaper man and a lovable character
has passed over the Great Reyond and, as he reads proof
on this, we hope he will read between the lines our great
admiration for him.
Religious Intolerance
The statement of James Arnold Colescott, newlv
elected head of the Ku Klux Man. that his administration
of klan destinies plans to carry out ’the interests of the
native-born white Protestant Gentile population of Amer
. ica ,, the pent of religious . . intolerance
causes set once more
to raise its ugly head and its deadly venom to enter the 1
Wood of the human race.
In answer to the statement made by Imperial Wizard
Colescott, Most Reverend Gerald O. O’Hara, Bishop of the
Atlanta-Savannah Catholic Diocese, speaking at the eleven
o'clock mass of thp Sacred Heart Church of Atlanta, con
demned such a statement as Un-American and Un
Christian.”
Bishop O’Hara said: “While I am templed to ignore
the matter as unworthy of serious attention, I feel, never
theless, that it would be a dereliction of duty on my part
to remain silent ... It is a pity that this sort of thing has
started up again. I had thought that such movements had
been hopelessly discredited in this country. We deplore
the resurgence of a movement which is at once Un
Christian and Un-American.”
We heartily agree with the sentiments of Bishop
O’Hara's remarks. Certainly, there was basis for extreme
criticism of anyone making such a statement in this land
of ours which was founded on the principles of religious
freedom.
til foiefatheis, who landed on this continent . at riy
mouth Rock, from the good ship Mayflowers, faced untold
privations and hardships in founding a country where they
could worship God according to their own conscience.
They had grown tired of religious persecution and
had made the supreme sacrifice of leaving their beloved
homeland, a place dear to them through the association of
their loved ones and friends. They abandoned the graves
of their ancestors, with never a thought of ever seeing any
of their loved ones again that they might gain religious
freedom. '
They carved the greatest nation in the world out of
a wilderness in their search to serve God in their own man
ner. They kept this goal ever in mind and when this
nation decided to throw off the yoke of England and es
tablish a ’’land of the free and home of the brave” they
wrote in the Declaration of Independence that ’’all men
are created free and equal." Not content with this they
later amended the Constitution to provide that a man's
religious affiliation is never to he made a test of ability
to hold office
After sacrifices such as these that we may have re
ligious freedom in these United States it does seem strange
that religious intolerance would be the cause of any move
ment of any consequence. Yet it has been the cause of
many campaigns and has seldom lain dormant for anv
great length of time.
As we read our Bibles and studv of the persecutions
of the early Christians, how they were thrown to the lions
in the arena al Rome, how they were used as human
torches, how they were hunted and slain because of their
be|;ef oehevers in Christ, a spillt certainly of tolerance there to should all mankind be born in all true
The history of the Jewish persecution of those of their
own faith who were converted to Christianity ives in the
heart of all true believers, but only in a Christ-like manner
and the Christian world of today is shocked by the perse
mtion o! the Jews i>\ ilitlei. The systematic warfare ol
the Nazis against all religion is emphasized by announce
ments of fresh regulations and restrictions each day.
These bring to the fore the fact that the Nazis RLP
not only anti-Semitic, but are also anti-Christ. This is all
oart and jiarcel of the established Nazi poliev that will
tolerate no faith but its own paganism.
This is another example of intolerance which is being
practiced in Europe and all the better argument in this
country again** religious intolerance of anv kind.
Whit, ihe Ku Klux Kl.u Imperial Wizard releases
his Uast of intolerance and is called to account by a
( -atholic Bishop, another Catholic priest has been called
to account on anti-Semitic utterances
Fath M’ James R. Cox, of Pittsburg, speaking on
subject recently, expressed his grief u\er the Nazi propa-
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly in the State)
ganda which is continually being advanced by Father
Coughlin, of Detroit. Father Cox says:
“You do not speak for the Catholic Church. You
do not speak for the Catholic clergy. You do not
speak for the millions of Catholic laity who want to
live in peace and harmony with their fellow' citizens
... Unfortunately you speak as an individual Catholic
priest, and as such, you command attention, and that
is the shame and the danger . . . You forget the teach
ings of Christ—of tolerance and brotherhood. You
are, in effect, anti-Catholic as well as anti-Semitic.”
The entire history of the world shows the absolute
futility of religious intolerance. Man has within him an
innate craving to worship a god of his own choosing. This
is an inherent, all-powerful craving which he received in
his mother’s womb.
Those misguided ones who raise the ugly spectre of
religious intolerance are working against every principle
of freedom and liberty. In trying to enslave the religious
spirit of the people of these United States they are auto
maticallv endeavoring to abolish the rights and liberties
of a free people
Religious intolerance has no place in our scheme
living Our government guarantees the right to free
speech and personal liberties and these include the right

SOLOMON: A RULER WHO

good and evil. I Kings 3:9
Solomon was the son of King Da

of Bathsheba. the woman whom na
vid reaUy loved. And while that

even to the spilling of a man s blood

cended the throne when he was on
ly twenty, and his reign from a ma
terial standpoint was glorious. But
it carried with it Ihe seeds of dis
solution which resulted shortly af
ter his death In the division of the
kingdom.
His latter days were spmt under
a cloud. His wives turned away his

And the lord appeared to him in a
dream by night and said, ‘’Ask what
I shall give thee."
He began his life work by ac
knowledging the goodness of God
and offering up sacrifices, thus sig
nifying his submission lo the Most
High. He put himself in the hands
of God at the beginning of his
reign.
We see in this act of Solomon
how necessary It is that we con
sign our lives ink the hands of God
at the beginning of every day, every
year, every enterprise. If we think
we have sufficient strength and wis
dom to guide our own lives, we

upon us, it comes generally like an
avalanche, and we are just as'pow
erless against it as are mountain
climbers caught in a snowsllde on
the slopes of the Alps. Similarly
when good fortune comes up like a
beautiful flower to bless our lives,
it is generally because certain things
have begun to happen over which we

How much we depend upon the
mercy of God! How completely our
happiness depends upon the pres

sured that our lives will be plea-sin^
to God. We must be in his hands if
we are to be safe, and we must be
humble in those hands if we are to
be used.
The I,ord was pleased with the
answer Solomon gave Him because:
Solomon asked for the best thing,
and God is always anxious to give
us his best. "What man is there of
you," said Jesus, “who, if his son
shall ask him for a loaf, will give j
him a stone, or if he shall ask for
a fish, will give him a serpent?”
There is, of course, no such father.
The disposition of earthly fathers is
to give their children the best they
can; and such a disposition, Jesus
said, abides also in the heart of
God.
God is more anxious to give lhan
we are to receive, and He alway.,
wants to give us the best He has
He punishes us only when his love
j can find no other method of cor
rection.
Solomon's request of the Lord
was, "Give thy servant an under- \
standing heart." It is interesting
to observe that he did not ask for
just an understanding mind. He
asked for an understanding heart.
That is, «.« he confronted any situa
tion he wanted to be deeply con
scious so that he could deal with
facts, but a heart so that he could
deal with people.
There is no gift so precious as
that quality of heart which enables
one to get along with his fellows.
The greatest need In the world
today is the need for understanding
hearts. In the home, in the church.
In offices and mills, among the com
mon people of the world and among
the rulers, the need for understand
ing hearts remains a crying one. If
those who rule human destinies in
London. Moscow. Berlin. Rome, To
kyo ’ and Washington had under
standing hearts, much of the ten
ston and chaos of modern life would
give way to peace and beneficence.
Especially should, we pray that
D°d give the gift of understanding
hearts to men and women in the
Church, that the fellowship of Je
stl * Christ may become a great leav
en throughout the world, transform
ing society under the power of the
Holy Spirit.
We are told in the fifteenth chap
ter of John (verse 7) that we may
ask whatsoever we will and it shall
be done unto us. But there is a
condition Imposed; we must abide
in Christ, and his spirit must abide
in us. When this is the case. God’?
desire becomes our desire, and our
desire, in turn. God’s fulfilment. As ■
(trow in grace, our prayers grow
in effectiveness. As years go on, we
come to the place where day by da?
we are conscious of the fact that
God is doing to us according as we
ask.
God gave Solomon an under
standing heart. But because he had
not asked unworthy things. God
**ve him also certain secondary
blessings which he had not asked
riches, honor, length of days

We can leave the secondary bless

prayer: ask for the things you know
God wants to give, because they are

What do ye most want from th®

for an understanding heart that we
may discern between good and evil,
we can be sure that God will say,
“I have done according to thy word;
lo. I have given thee a wise and
understanding heart."
And having put first the kingdom
of God and his righteousness, the
