Take a Good Look, Please!
'/ery soon now, Georgia's city and county officers will
be issuing retail beer licenses for 1942.
The great majority of Georgia's beer retailers operate
orderly, reputable places. Naturally, their licenses will
be renewed. But in any business or profession, there is
bound to be an occasional “black sheep ’—one who, by
abusing the privilege of his license, forfeits his right
to stay in business.
That is why this Committee says:
TAKE A GOOD LOOK,

A JOB WELL DONE
As the people of Georgia turn on their bright
lights again and as the factories of the state hum
along on unrestricted production schedules, we
want to thank all our customers for the very fine
cooperation they have ‘given in the power savings
program now happily suspended.
Lifting of the power curtailment was made pos
sible by the heavy rains of last week, extending over
the entire Southeast. Before that, during the more
critical period of the drought, the people of Georgia
and of the Southeast by their willing compliance
with the OPM’s power restrictions and by their vol
untary savings of electricity, enabled this cdmpany
and other agencies to meet the emergency.
In addition to the helpful rainfall, power pool
ing operations are working successfully. From In
diana, Ohio and Illinois; from Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana; from the Carolinas, Kentucky, Virginia
and West Virginia, surplus power is being routed
into this area. Power pooling will continue indef
initely, although the other elements of the OPM
program have been suspended.
All restrictions are off and our customers are
free to use all the electricity they want to. Never
theless, a word of caution is needed. If normal rains
are not realized this month, it may be necessary to
impose power savings again after the first of the
year.
In the interest of postponing a possible future
blackout, and perhaps more drastic restrictions,
you are urged to make sensible use of your electric
service. Any voluntary savings you can effect will
be helpful.
The people of Georgia, by their patriotic re
sponse in a truly grave emergency, have earned for
themselves the right to celebrate a colorful, bright,
Merry Christmas and once again we thank one and
all.

Letter From Our Congressman
Capitol Hill,
Washington, D. C.,
December 6, 1941
My dear Constituents:
As 1 predicted last week, the
House on Wednesday passed an
anti-strike or labor bill. It was
a strong bill, and included the
provisions of the Smith and Vin
son proposals, and the vote was
252 to 136.
Labor representatives de
nounced it as a ‘‘repressive meas
ure,” saying that it encroached on
the established right of labor to
strike, and they intend to make
a concentrated effort to prevent
its passage in the Senate, but 1
do not see that it contains any
provision that violates any rigjit
of labor. The interest and con
cern of the American people as a
whole overshadows entirely the
interest of the labor unions and
organized workers in such mills or
mines.
The bill we passed outlaws
industry and we must keep the
shops and plants and mines run
ning at full capacity until our de
fense program is complete. It is
certainly no time to shut down
great steel mills or vast coal mines
for the purpose of deciding
whether a C. I. O. or an A. F. of
L. labor union shall control the
strikes of this kind, known as
“jurisdictional strikes.” It also
provides that any labor union
that elects as one of its officials
any man who is a member of the
Communist party, the German
American Bund, or the Kyfer
hauser Bund, will lose its status
as a labor union, under the Na
tional Labor Relations Act
long as such person continues to
hold such office. It provides for
the maintenance of law and or
der, prohibits violence, and the
closing down of industry pend
ing mediation of disputes, and
makes mediation compulsory.
also provides that before any
strike can be called, there must
be a fair election by secret bal
lot of the workers in the
ticular plant, under
supervision. It also preserves the
“status quo” on questions of
open or closed shop in
industries.
Some of the labor officials
tried to prevent the strikes
they were unable to control
organizations. Months ago
bers of the American
of Labor met and said:
“The welfare of our
is at stake. We hereby agree
we will undertake to settle
disputes by negotiation and
that fails we will arbitrate
differences and stand by
THE COVINGTON NEWs
award of the arbitrators regard
less. We will not strike on de
fense projects. God willing, in
this emergency, we are going to
stand by our country.”
Let it be said to their credit
that 95% of them have lived up
to their resolution and that 95%
is as loyal as any American. It
was the other five percent and
John L. Lewis who made legisla
tion necessary.
Our attention now turns to the
effort of a few industrial plants
to make inconsiderable profits on
defense contracts, and the Naval
Affairs Committee is now looking
into this subject. Some twenty
five million dollars have already
been saved. Practically all in
dustry and labor is cooperating
in this defense effort. It is only
a \ ery few who make legislation
and investigations necessary. My
faith in the industrial and labor
leaders is not shaken and I be
lieve America is meeting its su
preme test in a real way.
When we think of the men in
uniform, the workers in mine and
factory, the farmers in the fields,
the sacrifice of so many and the
great cause f all of us we must
be glad that the instances of greed
are few.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP, M. C.

There are two kinds of back
sliders. One kind will hide out
from Christian leaders and evan
gelistic workers and stay away
from church services. TTie other
kind will sit in front seats and
talk pious and try to run the
whole ecclesiastical oganization.
When Samuel was authorized by
Almighty God to anoint Saul as
king, he told Saul what God
wanted him to do. Saul was to go
down and destroy all of the ene
mies of the children of Israel.
He was to slay the cattle and
leave nothing alive The army of
Saul preserved the best cattle
and the best of the sheep, and
they also saved King Agag alive.
God spoke to His servant Sam
uel concerning Saul’s backsliding,
so Samuel went to see Saul. “I
have carried out your orders.”
About that time the cows lowed
and the sheep began to bleat.
Samuel said, “What means all the
lowing of the cattle and the bleat
ing of the sheep?” Whenever a
Christian backslides, he had just
as well depend upon the cattle
lowing and the sheep bleating.
They always do it, and they al
ways do it at the wrong time.
Fathers and mothers backslide
and then some day their children
are disgraced. There is many a
home in this country with closets
full of family skeletons. Many of
these skeletons would never have
been there if it had not been for
the backsliding, the compromis
ing, and the “selling-out” of pa
rents. Skeletons cannot be kept
in the closet. They come out at
the wrong time and r-r-r-attle
themselves in the face of some
prophet of God. Sometimes they
dance on parlor floors, and some
times they walk down front steps
and go uptown for a visit. Skele
tons make a great deal of noise
when they move around. They are
worse than the lowing of a cow
and the bleating of a sheep. Lot
backslid when he went to Sodom.
His decision to go to Sodom was
based on a material foundation.
He took good care of his cattle,
but let his children go to hell.
He suffered the consequences.
When a man or a woman really
knows God and has the experi
ence of fellowship with the Heav
enly Father, and then gets out of
fellowship and begins to flirt with
the world, he had just as well
get ready for lowing cattle, bleat
ing sheep, and the rattle of skele
ton bones. It always happens. No
man can do wrong and get away
with it. This is especially true
in the case of a real, genuinely
born-again Christian. “To obey
is better than to sacrifice.” That
is what Samuel told Saul. Sac
rifice is necessary because of dis
obedience. If there had been no
sin in this universe, there would
never have bene a cross—no
crown of thorns and no bloody
Calvary. The first man and wom
an disobeyed God and became the
father and mother of a fallen race.
According to the Bible every hu
man being was born in sin. God’s
Word says, “The soul that sin
neth, it shall die.” “Why did God
let sin come into the world?” the
question is often asked. Since the
writer does not have an infinite
mind, he is not prepared to say
why a God of infinite wisdom
permitted sin to enter the uni
ve-s But sin is here. It is an
awful reality. It has wrecked
civilization after civilization. It
has dug graves in cemeteries. It
has broken human hearts. It was
sin that sent Jesus Christ to Cal
vary to lay down His life, bear
ing the sins of the world in His
body on that cruel tree. In the
Book of Revelation we read about
a redeemed host in heaven who
sing about His blood—the blood
that cleansed them from sin.
Obedience is better than sacrifice.
Disobedience made sacrifice ne
cessary
