Tent Revival Underway
Covington and Newton County people are attending
the Old Time tent meeting on the school grounds in large
numbers. The large tent which seats more than five
hundred people is filled to overflowing at nearly every
service and much good is being done to bring the people
closer to God.
Tho committees in charge are to be complimented
for their fine work in making this series of meetings a
grand success. Rev. H. C. Emery, who is head of the
movement in the county, stated only Saturday that he had
never seen such co-operation among any group of people.
Nothing has been asked that has not been granted and
the large crowds reflect the tvork of that group of men
who planned and sponsored this revival.
Few people in this section knew Rev. Love Harrell
and Rev. Mulliens and some were doubtful as to their
abilitj*. This doubt has vanished and a solid front has
been formed which assures the success of the revival
meeting. Both men have done and are doing a fine job
and their work will shine before the people of Newton
county for many years to come. If you have not attended
any of these great meetings, there is still time, and you
will be surprised to see how welcome you will be.
A Sensible Custom
Back in the early years when pioneers were clearing
away the forests and burning the brush in an effort to
get a spot in which to plant a few vegetables and set out
some seedling peach and apple trees, canning was an un
known art. Apples could he and were buried in the
ground for winter use, those that were not cut and dried
and stored away for the making of pies. Rut canning
as we know it today had not come into vogue. In those
days a destructive frost meant something. It was a ser
ious blow at the family food supply and created a shortage
that could not be made up for in some other way. Today’s
housewife can buy at the grocery any known variety of
fruit or vegetable, in cans, regardless of whether or not
there is a total failure in the local crop.
The discovery of such modern canning methods as
housewives of today enjoy is a blessing that should not he
overlooked. The requirement for food throughout the
winter months is as great as it was in pioneer days; the
method of providing it is far easier now. In fact, it is so
easy that there appears to be no sensible excuse for any
family to approach the winter months without an abun
dant supply of canned goods in the pantry. From the
standpoint of protection, it is a duty every housewife owes
her family. From an investment standpoint, it is a posi
tive way to save money. Either reason is sufficient to!
justify any woman in joining the army of American home
canners who are now carrying out this sensible custom,
If there is any reason for not doing so, no one around here
has discovered it.
Night Driving Hazard*
After nightfall the range of the best pair of eyes in
the world is cut short bv darkness and the glare of ap
proaching headlights, which accounts for the fact that
about the limit of vision at night and, under ordinary
driving , . . conditions, .... a car will ... travel , . more than , 1 r\n e feet i
before it can be stopped. Consequently, with the stopping
point beyond the vision point, the danger of the situation,
is obvious. The elimination of glaring headlights, there
fore, is the most vital safety factor in night driving and is
a matter that demands prompt and efficient action on the
part of law enforcement officials. Too many drivers on
our highways are permitted to drive with dazzling, illegal
headlights which usually blind an oncoming driver; too
many others are allowed to drive with but one headlight.
"There are laws against both these practices and they
should be rigidly enforced.
Back to Normal
With the vacation season now at its height, and with
■several weeks to go, railroad and bus line officials report
the heaviest business since 1929. The American Auto As
sociation, gathering figures from 1200 auto clubs, in every
state, says motor tourists are out in as great numbers this
year as during any summer in history. All of which
makes a story citizens should he glad to hear. The re
sumption of vacation travel reflects an improvement in
conditions generally, for people are finding money for va
cation trips or they could not take them. They are putting
millions of dollars into circulation as they flit across the
country, and every dollar they spend is helping to bring
back those good times everybody has been praying for
and which now actually appear to be on their way.
Confusing Signals
One of the greatest traffic perils encountered is the
man or woman who sticks an arm out of the window,
points to the left—and then turns right. It’s hard to be
lieve there are such people, but it is done by someone
{ somewhere motorists have almost notion every that minute when in they the day. going Too to many make
■ a are
t a change in their own course or speed all that they need
j- to do is put out their left hand and make any kind of
gesture, expecting drivers behind to read their mind,
Nothing is more needed in motor traffic than a simple
‘ sign-language code. There is already one in existence
which, if better understood and faithfully adhered to,
would reduce deaths and accidents ail over the land. Rut
until every motorist learns to give such signals and gives
them on every occasion—unnecessary deaths and
denis will continue.

GOD.
Lesson: Isaiah 6:1-13.
Golden Text: Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:8,
Isaiah's name is linked with the
names of two or three of the great
est men the Hebrew race has pro
duced in alt its history. He was
born into high station in life, a man
of great prominence in both church
and state. His ministry as a pro
phet extended through one of the
most tumultuous periods in the his
tory of Israel. It was during his
lifetime that the army of Sennach
erib was turned from its siege or
Jerusalem by some miraculous in
terference of God. and Isaiah’s
name shines with luster from the
pages of the Bible because he pro
phesied this great deliverance.
Tradition says that during the
reign of the wicked king Manasseh
Isaiah suffered martyrdom. He is
believed to have been put in th;>
trunk of a tree and commanded to
recant his teachings; and when he
refused to do so, he was sawn asun
der. This is probably the basis of
the reference made in Hebrews, 11:
37, to the fact that certain of the
prophets "were sawn asunder.”
Our lesson today tells of Isaiah's
call to his great work.
This call came in the year that
King Uzziah died.
It was in the year that Uzziah
died that Isaiah had a great vision
in the tempie. it was intended
among other things, to impress the
prophet's mind with the difference
between the glory of the outstand
in? eanh,y kin * and t:ie 8 lory of
the Heavenly King; between the
instability of earthly power and the
omnipotence of heavenly; between
the reign of ° man ruined by his
own sin and the rei R n of G °d in
whnm dweileth ail righteousness. It
seemed when Uzziah died > that
of the power of God.
In vision. Isaiah saw God sit
tJng llpon a throne high and lifted
lip teaching him that above the
^ o{ mon archs is the King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords. Most
astounding of all. however, the train
of the celestial King fined the tem
pie, not only the holy of holies, but
the outer court into which even
Gentile* could enter,
Ab0V(> thp Eternal stood the ser
aphim. This is the only time this
word occurs in the Bible, and schol
ars at loss to know just what kind
of bring is signified, save lhat it
was a heavenly messenger. The ser
aphim cried one to another and
sald " holy hol v. holy » s Jehovah of
hosts: the whole earth is full of hit
glory.”
The word "holy” means "set
apart,” and the holiness of God
means that his first characteristic
i* 'hat He is free from all imperfec
tions and opposed, with all his
vine power, to sin.
His power shook the foundation
of the threshold of the temple,
the house was filled with smoke
God was showing the young Isaiah
the magnitude of his power,
The * ir st effect of the vision upon
Isaiah was to fill him with a sense
of sin. He realized that he was a
ma of unclean lips dwelling among
a people of unclean lips.
But God provided cleansing. One
of the seraphim took a live coa
from the altar and, touching Isaiah's
mouth with it. said. "Thine iniqut
ty is taken away, and thy sin for
gi'en."
There is always forgiveness for
the man ,ho cries out against hi
own sin, God cleanses our lips and
our lives, not with a coal from
the altar, but with the blood of
sus Christ who perished on the
cr06S .
After Isaiah had been cleansed,
Gob met him with a great challenge
and gave him a great commission
God's challenge was the challenge
THE COVINGTON NEWS
to service. "Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us?” God is always
asking that question in his church.
He needs Isaiahs in every
tion who will go with his message
and spirit not only to the foreign
field, but into the crowded thor
oughfares of trade and industry; not
just men who will witness for God
in the pulpit, but those who will
b^r witness to his righteousness
amid the pleasures and social life
of the world. God is always looking
for Isaiahs whom He may send into
the home, the church, the school
the fraternity, the sorority the club,
the factory, the office.
Isaih’s response was. "Here am I;
send me." He could make that re
sponse because his life was cleansed.
He had surrendered to the Most
High and was ready now for ser
vice.
God s call if Isaiah is symbolic of
the call He extends to every one of
his children. May his grace be given
unto us in such large measure that
when He calls us to the perform
ance of any duty, whether it be
humble or great, we will rise up with
renewed lives and say in accents of
joy, "Here am I; send me.”
John tells us in his gospel (12:41),
"These things said Isaiah, because
he saw his glory; and he spake of
him.” By this John means that he
being whom Isaiah saw in the tem
ple was Christ, later to be incarnate
in the flesh. We get our vision of
service in him. He is the source
that inspiration which sends men
out to serve the living God. It is
when we know Christ as Saviour
that we rise up eagerly and say.
"Here am I; send me.”
Isaiah was to be sent out to preach :
to a people who had already con-!
denined themselves by their spirit
ual hardness. This part of our les
»-i3> is one of the pas
ing as if God were sending Isaiah
ou to harden the hearts of people
SO that they could not see the truth
and respond to it.
Such a thing, however, would be
contrary to the whole character of
our Heavenly Father,
What this passage undoubtedly
teaches is that Isaiah is sent forth
to tell the people that although their
ears are wide open, they are spirit
ually deaf; that although their eye
appear normal, they are blind to the
significance of unseen things. Is
aiah's preaching will not
them. They are fat with prosperity
Their ears have been made heavy
by the music of pleasuie, their eyes
are drooping with the exhaustion of
dissipation their minds have been
darkened by ignorance. But in spite
of all this, God is sending Isaiah to
them again. He is giving them onr
more chance, although He know
that the appeal will be fruitless. On
Judgment Day none of these men
| can say that they sinned through ig
norance. Isaiah was among them
with hi s message from the living
God.
Are we listening to sermons with
ears made so heavy by the things
0 ; the world that the message of
God will not hange us? Have our
j eyes been blinded to everything but
our own interests? Havt our minds
been darkened by skepticism and
j unbelief. If so, we will not hear the
voice of God when He speaks,
j Our Isaiah may be our parents
our friends, our teacher, our preach
er. Most likely of all. Isaiah may
stand in the pulpit of our hearts
every day in the form of conscience
and every day rebuke us.
Listen to the message of God—
that is the meaning of this lesson
Look into your own heart and see
there the uncleanness which sin al
t ways produces. But if you are truly
sorry, be sure that God will com
With Cleansing and following the
cleansing He will give you a great
.commission to fulfil.

as "mending the political fences.”
What will the individual lawmaker
find out this time concerning the
wishes of the constituents back
home? No one can say with absolute
certainty, but there are at least
three straws in the wind:
Straw one is the attitude of Con
gress itself at the session recently
concluded. Naturally, Congress tries
to interpret public opinion to the
best of Its ability; that is the key
stone of the system of representa
tive democracy, and it's the best
system worked out so far though
like all things human it isn’t per
fect.
Straw two is the “straw vote.”
Congressmen are naturally very an
