Business Conditions In Georgia Good
During Year Commissioner Huiet
Business conditions in Georgia
this year have been exceptionally
good, payrolls have spiraled up
wards and employment opportuni
tl es have , , been considerably ,
greater, on the basis . of reports
made to the Bureau of Unem
ployment Compensation, Commis
sioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet
said today.
Practically all plants and fac
laid ,. ,
65 ^
* have oMrateH U
and a employer tmninvp payrolls, nav as reflect
ed by contnbutionor tax—pay
merits, have increased approxi
ma e y per cen .
Employers covered by the state
law pay 2.7 per cent to the bu
reau on their payrolls, which, in
the first 3 quarters was esti
mated at approximately $362,269,
039, as reflected by payments of
$9,781,264. In the corresponding
period of last year, payrolls
amounted to about $245,493,424
as indicated by contribution pay
ments of $6,628,322.
Commissioner Huiet said wide
expansion of business activity,
particularly in the construction
industry, and the resulting heavy
increase in employment has
broughi about gains in both the
number of workers and employ- esti
ers covered by the Act. He
mated that approximately 80,000
additional workers and about 1,
000 more employers have come
under the job insurance program
smee the first of the year.
On the other hand he reported.
jobs filled by the Georgia State
Employment Service, a division
of the bureau, have increased 21
per cent over the correspond,^
period of last year and 12 per cent,
more than for the entire year of
1940 '
Through November, records
showed a total of 108,487 jobs had
been filled by the Employment
Service, of which approximately
100,000 were in private employ
ment.
Commissioner Huiet reported
that priorities established by the
government have had little effect
thus far upon Georgia industry,
with the exception of silk and
aluminum plants. Stop orders on
silk threw approximately 600
workers out of jobs in August
and about 60 employees in an
aluminum plant were displaced
recently.
Benefits paid to unemployed
workers, he said, have shown a

The speaker drew close par

and the game of life. He listed and
amplified five requisites for win

contest of life as follows: play to
win, keep training, practice al

Himself young and a lover of

-SIN
By J. C. WILSON
And now comes the Festival of
the nativity of Christ observed
by the Christian Church yearly
on the 25 of December;
“He is a path, if any be misled;
He is a cobe, if any naked be;
If any chance to hunger, he is
bread;
If any be a bondman, he is free;
If any be but weak, how strung
is he!
To dead men life is he, to sick
men, health;
To blind men, sight, and to the
needy, wealth;
A pleasure without loss, a treas
ure without stealth.”
Excellency of Christ)
Ah, friends, dear friends, as years
go on and heads get gray, how
fast the guests do go!
Touch hands, touch hands, with
those that stay.
Strong hands to weak, old hands
too young, around the Christ
mas board, touch hands.
The false forget, the foe forgive,
for every guest will go and ev
ery fire burn low and cabin
empty stand.
Forget, forgive, for who may say
that Christmas day may ever
come to host or guest again.
“Adirondack”) Murray

At Christmas play and make good
cheer
For Christmas comes but once a
year.
(Thomas Tusser)
Everywhere, everywhere, Christ
mas tonight!
Christmas in lands of the fir
tree and pine,
Christmas in lands of the palm
tree and vine;
Christmas where snow-peaks
stand solemn and white,
Christmas where corn-fields lie
sunny and bright.
(A Christmas Carol)
Heap on more wood!—the wind is
chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
We’ll keep our Christmas merry
still.
(Marmion)
You bless us, please sah, eben ef
we’s doin’ wrong to-night,
Kase den we’ll need de blessin’
more’n ef we’s doin’ right;
An’ let de blessin’ stay wid us
untel we comes to die
An’ goes to keep our Christmas
wid dem sheriffs in de sky.
(Christmas Night in the Quarters)
“Hang up the baby’s stocking;
Be sure you don’t forget
The dear little dimpled darling!
She ne’er saw Christmas yet.”
HERE’S HOPING
An optomist has been described
as a man who orders oysters at
a restaurant and expects to find
a pearl to pay the bill with. This
of course is not optimism,
brazen brainlessness. Yet some
how the pearls come only to those
who expect them.
YEAR ain’t been the very best;—
Purty hard by trouble presses;
But the rough way leads to rest,—
Here’s hopin’!
Maybe scraps way short; the rills
Couldn’t turn the silent mills;
But the light’s behind the hills,—
Here’s hopin’!
Where we planted roses sweet
Thorns come up an’ pricked the
feet:
But this old world’s hard to beat,
Here’s hopin’!
P’r’aps the buildin’ that we
planned
’Gainst the cyclone couldn’t
stand;
But, thank God we’ve got the
land,—
Here’s hopin’!
Maybe flowers we hoped to save
Have been scattered on a grave;
But the hearts’ still heatin’ brave,
Here’s hopin'!
That we'll see the mornin’ light
That the vary darkest night,
; Can’t hide heaven from our sight,
Here’s hopin’!

SPIRITUAL MEDITATIONS
A COMPLETED TASK
“I have fought a good fight.
I have finished my course, I
have kept the faith." 2 Timo
thy 4:7.
There is a satisfaction in the con
sciousness of a completed task that
compensates for all the hardships
and difficulties encountered. It
connotes courage, application,
loyalty, victory. An unfinished
task is a defeat, a loss, a shame.
Paul's complaint against the Ga
latians was that, while for a time
they ran well, they had ceased,
had dropped out. That indeed is
the tragedy of Christian work—
the falling away of so many who
did make a good start. It is to
these, who, like Paul, endure to
the end that is given the crown
of life. There is need of steady
contention in the Christian war
fare if one be finally crowned.
“The world lieth in the wicked
one,” is the condition that faced
the little handful of the early
church. It required all the pow
ers of vigorous manhood to over
come the opposing forces of the
world, the flesh and the devil.
The task was an impossible one,
from the standpoint of human
reason, for the one hundred and
twenty. No less impossible today.
But Jesus said, “All power is

It is the impossible which Jesus
proposes to overcome through His
wholly consecrated, C-od-filled
followers. The faith once deliv
ered unto the saints is a unit. It
is like the law of God—an offense
against a part’is an offense against
the whole. Paul was a funda
mentalist with a small f, please).
He kept the whole law; he em
braced the entire faith revealed
through Jesus. He held that Jesus
was God revealed in human flesh
—born of the Virgin; (hat He
lived a sinless life among men,
and died on the cross a vicarious
sacrifice for all men; that faith
in Him brings cancellation of
sins, and that His baptism with
the Spirit cleanses man’s nature
from all carnality; (hat He arose
from the grave, was seen of
many, ascended into heaven,
whence we are to look for His
glorious appearing (he second

Over the troubled world's life,
Christmas again draws ntgh. Our
hearts are aching and troubled,
our minds are uneasy and afraid,
we are confused and bewildered
with the reports, the daily changes,
but we must never forget that
“God s in His Heaven, and all is
right with the world”, that the
birth of Christ is the ever premise
to keep our hearts from bitterness
and darkness. There is a long
span since the shepherds near
Bethlehem beheld the glorious
star in the clear eastern sky, and
saw the glory of the Lord and
heard the heavenly Angels pro
claiming. “Glory to God in the
highest, Peace Goodwill to men".
Then the sweet promise,e"Behold,
I bring you glad tidings of great
joy”. Nearly two thousand years
have passed by, but the glory of
that night has only brightened.
The great joy that filled the
hearts of those shepherds is again
in our hearts.
