Governor Talmadge Inauguration
The inauguration of Governor Eugene Talmadge was
a brilliant event of last week and places the reins of gov
ernment in experienced and capable hands. Shortly after
wards th# Governor left for Washington to attend the
inauguration of “The Champ”. "
Governor Talmadge was well received in Washington
and spoke highly of the two senators of Georgia. He
said they J both must be good for he tried to defeat one of
them alone and then later he and President Roosevelt
joined hands and failed to defeat the other.
Governor _ Talmadge has declared he will co-operate ,
with the National Administration in every way possible to
benefit his state. He plans to bring all the government
funds possible into Georgia and is willing to co-operate in
every 'While way possible to this end.
in Washington he plans to -see the various de
partment nartmpnt neaas beads to to see see just iust what v nut can can be De done aone in n this mis airtc direc
tion. He is especially interested in the old age pensions
and stated he desired to divide such funds as are received
equally among all those receiving old age pensions and to
stop any discrimination in the matter.
He also plans to talk with those in control of the Fed
era] road funds so as to get back the $200,000 which was
taken from the state due to certain technicalities which
the former administration failed to comply.
The governor is expected to return to the state the
letter part of the week and then business will pick up with
interest as he wades into the legislation program in an
effort to have the many administration bills introduced
passed.
The next few weeks will bring forth many pieces of
legislation which we believe will be favorable to the gov
ernmental affairs of this state.
1941—Year Of Proof
nr w alter Lipman, t • columnist i . , ot - the ,. New XT v York , TT Herald- , .
Tribune, who is not given to false optimism, recently came
forth with an assurance and a prophecy which everyone
in this Country ought to read. We quote from it:
“If this mighty continent goes to work as it can go
to work when it goes all out, the year 1941 will see the
end of doubt, division, and fear, and the gathering to
gether of an America which is true to its past and equal
to anything that the future may bring. Then we shall not
only sleep well at night; in the day, having the conscious
of working hard and to single . shall
ness a purpose, we
havexlone with anxiety.
“For this we depend upon the government for the
plans, the specifications, the leadership. But for results.,
we Q denend £ pen a unon upon the trie directors aireciors, the me managers mdiidgers, the uie tech- itwu
mcians, . . and the employees of American industry. The
defense of America is in their hands. They are not the
conscripted employees of a totalitarian state, and it is for
them to show that'a free industry can in fact keep the
world free.
“If they succeed, as I believe they will, their success
will insure the future of free industry by the only means
through which its future can now be insured—by an
overwhelming proof of its superiority in the struggle for
existence ... If now 7 the free peoples are defeated, there
will he no future anywhere for free Industry ....
“But American industry will not fail in the test . . .
The world will see this year the proof that this young
continent possesses the energy which, throttled down in
these ten years of depression and confusion, will pour forth
to astound the world.”
Americans with faith in their country believe these
words with all their hearts. They know that the year
ahead is one in which this nation will again prove its
industrial and its democratic power, and they face their
part in that test with real confidence.
“State Of The Nation”
The President’s extraordinary “State of The
speech to the new Congress was received with mixed
tions. The majority of the larger newspapers, which are
pro-British in policy, approved it with some reservations.
So did most of the leading commentators. However, in
Congress there was criticism to the effect that the
dent did not give enough particulars—and that it looked 5
if he intended to put this . country . deeper j . into , „ European
as
affairs than it had ever been before. At the same time,
surveys indicate that the President’s proposal to lend Brit
ain arms and other implements of war, which she is sup
posed to repay in kind or its equivalent at the end of hos
tilities, will eventually go through. The non-intervention
ist bloc, however, of which Senator Wheeler is now leader,
says that it intends to fight the President’s program to
the last ditch.
The President firmly fixed this country’s foreign pol
icy. According to him, that policy has three facets: First,
we are committed to an all inclusive national defense.
Second, we are committed to support all nations which are
resisting aggression and, in the President's words, “there
by keeping war from our hemisphere.” Third, we will
never acquiesce in a peace -'dictated ty aggressors and,
sponsored by appeasers. The President stressed his
opinion that this policy is completely non-partisan, and
represents the uill of the majority of the people, whatever
their political affiliations.
It is obviously the Administration’s belief that it
would be impossible for this country to live in the same I
"•rrV'r; • ’* 11 1 ac ( an( ^ establishment res ol f uU a iB permanen *"•'»•>»*
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly in the State)
many who disagree with this doctrine, but, so far as legis
lative influence is concerned, they seem to be in minority
now.
It is probable that the President’s speech, coupled with
his “’fireside ch i " of a week before, was the strongest talk
ever given by cne head of a great nation to the heads of
other great nations. It could be easily construed as an
ipso facto declaration of war. even though Mr. Roosevelt
said that he did not intend for *it to be so taken. But
Italy and Germany tfley were relatively calm in their comments.
It looks as if are willing to take a great deal before
formally going to war with us—which, in view of Italy’s
stunning reverses in Africa, is easily understandable. The
Axis has not lost the war, but its plahs are not going as
scheduled, by any means.
Sunday School Lesson
CHRIST’S CONCERN FOR THE
LOST
Lesson: Luke 15.
Golden Text: “The Son of man
came to seek and to save
which was lost.” (LVike 19:10.)

These concepts date back to Jesus.
i He was sent to the “lost sheep” of
I the house of Israel. “I came to seek
and to save the lost” was his mot
to- He told the three exquisite^
I bfautiful Father parables for illustrating human- his
s concern lost
| ity. There was a woman who lost
; a coin. She searched diligently
til she found it. Then she called in
her neighbors and friends, and re
joiced. Jesus said that in like man
ner there is rejoicing in heaven ov
^ cne sinner who repents. He toid
°* a sh *P h erd ™ ho ! ost one of his
sheep ’ He . left the ninety . and , m " c
and searc h ed un tii he found
sheep Then he lay it upon his
shoulders, carried it home and
called his friends and neighbors to
rejoice with him. JesUs added that
in like manner there is more re
joicing in heaven over one sinner
who repents than over ninety and
nine who need no repentance. Fin
ally, Jesus told the story of the
boy who broke fellowship with hi*
father, and went into a faraway
land where he wasted his sub
stance ;n riotous living. The boy
eventually came to himself, repent
ed and returned to his father’s
house. The father received him
with open arms, put a ring upon his
finger, placed the best robe upon
him, and made merry with a ban
quet. As these parables indicate
Jesus was passionately interested
in those who had gone into sin.
those who were disinherited and
discourage d, and those who had
been br0 ken upon the wheel of life,
The supreme purpose of Christ’s
Church is to save lost men and to
keep them saved.

Such people, I imagine, resent be

inference from the parable. They
are lost so far as the Kingdom of
God is concrned.
The lost sheep describes anoihei
pspect of the lost soul. The sh* p
too, was as good as ever. Its wool
and its flesh had not gone Down

One does not have to be immoral
and dissipf ted to be lost. Just wan

purpose is to be lost In the book of
Revelation, the spirit writes unto
the church in Laodieea: “I know
thy works, that thou art neither
cold nor hot ... So then because
thou art lukewarm, and neither
cold nor hot, i will spue thee out
my mouth.”

was a lost boy however before he
ever left home, for Augustine was
right when he prayed: “A darkened
heart is the far country, for it is
not by our feet, but by our gffec
tions that we either leave Thee or
return unto Thee.” When we love
evil better than good, when the
sensations of evil allure us, we are
on the road to the far country—
lost to the finer things.
The three parables not only tell
us what >t means to be lost, but
they also reveal how one rerches
