E. W. FOWLER PASSES
: , The passing last week of E. W. (Ed) Fowler was a
! ' shock to his thousands of friends in this community. While
he had been in ill health for a number of months it was
j (thought his condition was slowly improving.
He passed away last Friday night after enjoying his
( usual happy day with his family. He had not complained
j and had visited his physician in Atlanta, who reported his
! condition improved.
His loss will be felt in this community, where he had
i been so active in business, religious and civic enterprises.
! He was known, and loved, by practically every person in
I this community.
For many years he was in the mercantile business
j i with his brother, the late R. R. Fowler, Sr. In
recent years
I he had practically retired from business, with the excep-

■ Empires Won by Conquest
> Collapse of Own Weight.
I ! Men who have had contact with high German circles
I have lately been describing what they believe a Hitler vie
tory would mean to Europe, and to the balance of the
world. They sav that the Fuehrer envisions a Germanic
Europe in which only the German, the master race, would
be permitted to bear arms. An European customs union,
completely German controlled, would be established. The
smaller nations would disappear, or would exist as mere
geographical entities, without power or real meaning. All ;
currencies would be dominated . by Germany, and Ger
many would establish the terms on which trade between
peoples could be carried on. The gold standard, of course,
would cease to exist. It would be replaced by some sort
of a barter system. The “superior” peoples of Europe—
j
1 command a high standard of living, while the “inferior”
p60pi6S, such H.s the would l)e much in the position
1 Of slaves, performing the hard labor and receiving in re
i turn just enough food and clothing and lodging and med-1
ical attention to keep them alive and able to work. I
I So far as this hemisphere is concerned, there are two
theories theories, One une is IS that that alter after Hitler Hitler hid had conso consolidated idated Eur- Fur
ope, he would attack the Americans With military force,
! The other is that he has no such plans—which is what he j
said in his recent interview with an American news cor- j
respondent. The second theory has many authoritative ad-;
I herents. Hitler, they say, feels that the Americans would
have to come to terms with him whether they wished to
or not, in order to dispose of their surplus commodities
and manufactures abroad. The Americans, he reasons,
must have foreign trade—and that necessity would drive
them to join in whatever system of commerce he estab
lishes. Our gold—and at the moment we have some 60
per cent of all the world’s monetary gold—would be use
ful only for filling teeth and manufacturing jewelry.
One note of optimism is occasionally sounded. Even
if Hitler wins an overwhelming victory in Europe, some
i hopefuls say, he will not be able to put his plans into ef
i fect. This is based on the fact that all the empires won by
I conquest in the past have invariably collapsed sooner or
later of their own weight. Conquered people are not co
I operative—a tremendous part of the conqueror’s energis
and rsourcs and man power must be given to policing
I them. And in time, the conqueror grows rich and soft.
So much for speculation. This seems sure—tomor
I row’s world, no matter who wins this war, will be a vastly
! different place than the world of today. There will, sav
1 the authorities, be famines, depression, constant social and
economic upheavals. The future for all nations is far
from bright.
Hamilton Ralls Forging Ahead In Race
For Commissioner of Agriculture.
Although the race for political offices is just begin
ning certain lines are beginning to form into evidences of
concrete support.
Notably among these is the candidacy of Hamilton
Ralls for Commissioner of Agriculture. Recently a meet
ing of his supporters was held at Macon. Out of a total
of 100 leaders from all parts of the state invited to attend,
only .two were absent and these were absent from un
avoidable causes.
That certainly speaks well for the solidity of his sup
port. From all corridors of hotels and the state capitol
building his is the name mentioned most frequently. In
fact we might add it is the only name we have heard men
tioned in respect to the position.
This support is certainly merited in ever yrespect. He
is eminently qualified from training, having been with the
United States Bureau of Agriculture for a number of years
and also having served as Director of Bureau of Markets i
m our c.x. own state. o+o+o !
TT He is . also , what i , is • i known as a ,,,• dirt , , farmer” ,, securing .
his livelihood for the past several years from the products
of his own labors on the farm. He is at present so busy
shipping peaches that he has given little time to his cam
paign.
His friends, however, have been filling in loyally for
him and as a result his candidacy is well on toward a sue
cessful conclusion. A man who can create in the breasts of
men the faithful feeling of friendship which he has done
certainly “must have something on the hall.”
We believe Hamilton Ralls will carry ninety percent
of the counties in Georgia for Commissioner of Agricul
ture and we believe the state will be benefitted by his term
of office.

JOB'S struggle to faith
IN LIFE AFTER DEATH
Lesson: Job 3-19.
Golden Text: As for me I know
that my Redeemer liveth. Job
19:25.
Many centuries before God's
revelation was fulfilled in the
person of our Lord, there were
disclosed to Job intimations of
immortality so fundamental
«“ir nature that they have based
“Il/That
other Semitic peoples, had a ra
ther vague and undefined concep
tion of life after death. They re
garded it as existing in a dark and
sloomy region where the inhab
itants P assed a conscious but
and inactive existence. It was a
wfmouT^distin^tiX’Vhere' pun
ishment was inflicted, and re
wards enjoyed. Added to this was
the conviction that in this place of
death God abode with his people.
10 t ^ ose .^ ho h ^ been r ‘S hteous
° n thls , Slde ° f , the Vel1, , He aC "
corded a certain blessedness, and
to those who had been evil He
meted out punishment. |
Job’s hope here expressed is
that he might life and leave the God sufferings; would
Of this that

He did not ask for ha PP ir| ess; all
he requested was a cessation of (
his sufferings. !
But Job did not stop with an
expression of the hope that God
would give him rest from his suf
ferings in another world, P[ e
looked up and caught the vision
shared by all Christians today—a
glorious eternity and fellowship
with God.
Surely God had not put him in
the ,, world ,, simply . , that .. . , he might; . , .
suffer, tt and a after that * return . . j
again
to the dust. So in verses 14-17 of j
the first section of our lesson we
find Job asking penetrating ques
tions about the possibility of life
after death.
He says in substance, “As we
at tbe 1 ° ve a r d
God, is it not probable , that He
gives men the gift of eternal life?
If this be true, then I can endure
my affliction patiently. 1 could
wait through all the days of my
warfare till my release if I knew
that after that the Almighty would
call me, that I would answer Him
and would know the joy of going
back to the One who had made
me. 1)
Here Is a spiritually robust and
vigorous character refusing, in the
dim dawn of antiquity to accept
the belief that life has no pur
pose. He insists that the intelli
gent and loving God who made
man and sustains him must have
some destiny for man after he has
passed the portals of death. Job
saw clearly the religious signifi
cance of a belief in immortality.
“If I can only hold to that,” he
said, “I can endure anything.”
In every age this has been the
consolation of the afflicted. The
glorious conviction with which be

minds an d hearts is that beyond

the f ect order of Go(1
A profession of christian bcU ef
which does not include a g i orious
hope in life beyond the grave is
certainly not Christian to the full
extent of that term. Christian
ethics languish if death ends all.
Shining like a star in the fir
marT )ent of every dark night is
mans conviction that this life
does not end all. There would be
something fundamentally unreas

fine as human life and made nj

provision to preserve its spiritual
values.
Most people who express disbe
lief in life after death probably do
not believe what they say. Many
of them want to indulge them
selves and live their lives after
their own wills. If they felt
this attitude would be punished
beyond the grave or that it did
not fit in with an eternal scheme
of things, they would experience
a troubled commence. This they
+h „, .
ymrt the grave to worry about,
But in all such lives there is an
absence of hope. Men cannot think
in terms of corruption and extinc
tion without having every high
aspiration damaged and
ly destroyed, Job posited the
question to himself and answered
it decisively. If the grave is my

Of the body, then where indeed is
man’s hope?
Two thousand years before the
coming of Jesus Christ, Job faced
the c J ueshon and answered it with
a spiritual insight remarkable
when one considers the age in
which he lived,
Job’s answer to the question,
“Where is my hope?” is this, “I
know that my Redeemer liveth
• • • The a °swer to skepticism
about life after death must be a
religious, not a philosophical an
swer. God lives; therefore we shall
live.
It reminds us of Jesus’ rebuttal
of a similar argument when he
reminded his hearers that God
was the God of Abraham, of Isaac
and of ^acob. “God is not the God
of the dead,” he concluded, “but
of the living” (Matt. 22:32.)
Job says very much the same
thing. If God lives, then He is the
God „ , of , ... life and , He will not , be
satisfied with death. All about me
I see life. And this leads me to the

conviction —a conviction so strong
that I should like to write it with
an iron pen upon the rock—that
because God lives I shall live also,
“At last He will stand up upon
the earth ...” Then after my
body is destroyed and corruption
has done its worst, I shall with
my-yery eyes behold God.
Multitudes of people today who
never give God and his eternity
the least thought shoulc tremble
indeed. We must all stand before
! the judgment seat of Christ; and
when we do, God will not regard
with amiable tolerance those who
deny the plain teaching of the Bi
ble concerning eternal life.
But noble as is the teaching of
Job, we have to turn tc the New
Testament to find this teaching
fulfilled in a satisfactory fashion.
We are told that our Lord Jesus
brought immortality to light. Be
fore his time men had held the be
lief with much faltering; those
who saw him rise from the dead
held it ever after as a fundamen
tal conviction of their faith.
The resurrection not only dem
question to himself and answered
after death; its greatest teaching
was that the risen Christ would
ever be with the faithful, culti
vating their lives and preparing
them for eternity. The disciples

did not have to be persuaded that
God has prepared a glorious des
tiny for his children. Job and oth
er great teachers had taught the
Hebrews so effectively that at the
time of Jesus practically everycne
believed in life after death, al
though few understood its nature
and significance.
But in the resurrection of Jesus
was the demonstration to men that
God’s plan involves not only the
persistence of life, but the resur
rection of the body.
The physical body will pass
away, but out of it will come the
spiritual body of which Paul
spoke. This will implement the
soul that it may serve God as He
desires in realms of glory.
Centuries before the birlh of
Christ, Job in his misery lifted up
his eyes and saw the living God
enthroned above his creatures. His
; conclusion was that the living
j q 0( j w ill provide life for his chil
j ^ ren ^ no t corruption and extinc
tj on , “Mine eyes shall behold,” he
said, “and not as a stranger.”
This is the faith of all who tru
ly and vitally believe in God.
Cull the early molters, cull the
hens that persist in wanting to
set, and cull any that are out of
condition.
