Si. James Church, Atlanta
MAKE UP YOUR MNID
TO BE HAPPY
In the next five weeks I am
going to be writing a series on
happiness.
When Henry Fawcett was a
young man he lost both eyes
in a gun accident. This young
Englishman determined that
such a handicap would not
cause him to give up the im
portant business of living. “I
made up my mind,” he wrote,
“within ten minutes after the
accident, to stick to my main
purpose so far as in me lay.”
Robert Louis Stevenson went
through life with a weak body.
He spent most of his life suf
fering, but he did not retreat
into a life of self-pity and use
lessness. His life has been an
inspiration to many and his
writings will offer hope to men
as long as great literature is
read.
The late Dr. William P. King
related the story of a very
wealthy woman who was un
happy and restless in spite of
her financial fortune. She told
her maid that she felt a change
of scenery was all she needed.
She even suggested a place
where, because of its beauty
and pleasant surroundings, she
could lose her despair and find
happiness. The maid, uncultur
ed and without formal educa
tion, expressed a very wise and
true philosophy. “No, ma’am,
you surely would not be hap
py there, because you’d have to
take yourself with you wher
ever you went.”
Divine happiness can be
achieved in spite of poor health
and unpleasant circumstances.
A casual look at history will
reveal a gallant army of men
and women who have marched
across the stage of life with
many physical handicaps, with
triumph on their faces and
gladness in their hearts. If they
could rise above their handi
caps, we can rise above ours.
We cannot do it alone. We must
have God.
After a long hard day, Jesus
sent His disciples across the
Sea of Galilee to Bethsaida. He
went to be alone with His Fa
ther in prayer. Later, Jesus
went to join His disciples. The
Sea of Galilee can be very
dangerous and the water ex
tremely turbulent. This night
the wind was strong and the
waves high. The disciples were
struggling in an effort to keep
the little ship on its course in
spite of the contrary winds.
This is a true parable of life.
We encounter the contrary
winds. We face the deep disap
pointments. We feel the heavy
and sometimes almost crushing
blow of sorrow upon our
shoulders. We know what it
is to struggle against the fierce
temptations of life. It is an
endless task to keep the ship
of our souls on its true course.
When the disciples saw Jesus
walking on the water, they
were filled with fear. They

GOD CAN BE TRUSTED
I received a zery strange
letter once from a lady in the
mid-west who wrote, “I find
life desolate, without purpose
and even without hope. There
are times when I even doubt
that I can trust God.” When
we lose our faith in God there
is really nothing left upon
which we can hang our hopes.
I feel deeply sorry for one
who fails to find God trust
worthy.
Jeremy Taylor, in writing
about trust in God, said, “Look
at the beautiful butterfly and
learn from it to trust in God.
One might wonder where it
could live in tempestuous
nignts, in the whirlwind, or in
the stormy day; but I have
noticed it is safe and dry un
der the broad leaf while rivers
have been flooded and the
mountain oaks torn up from
their roots.”
If you ever lose your com
plete trust in God why not
consider the past. Samuel ad
vised Israel to serve the Lord
in “truth with all your heart:
for consider how great things
he hath done for you.” (I
Samuel 12:24) You may have
suffered many sorrows, borne
heavy loads, walked through
many dark valleys and faced
what appeared to be impossi
ble mountains to climb; but
God has brought you through.
I talked with a lovely lady
the other day who is near the
end of her earthly pilgrimage.
She has come a long way down
the road of life. I was her pas
tor several years ago. Her life
has not been easy. Since I last
saw her she has lost her hus
band and her only son. Her
health is broken and her shoul
ders stooped, but one can see
on her face the confidence and
unfaltering faith that is deep
in her heart. “The way has
been hard,” she said, “but God
has been good to me. He has
helped me over every rough
road and I am certain that he
will be with me all the way
to the end of the road.”
It is hard to conceive how
any person could prayerfully
look back over life and con
clude that God cannot be trust
ed. When friends desert us and
loved ones betray us and our
own strength fails us, God is
near to love us, comfort us and
give us all the strength that
is necessary to live victorious
ly.
God will honor our honest
doubts. You will remember
that once an anxious father
brought his sick son to the
Master seeking help. Jesus
said, “If thou canst believe, all
things are possible to him that
believeth.” This father cried

Georgia’s Mount Vernon
By: Charles E. Hooper
Meadow Gardens in Augusta,
Georgia, was the home of
George Walton, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence.
Colonel Walton, an ardent pa
triot, came to Augusta in 1780
when the fires of the revolu
tion still burned. He establish
ed his home one and one-half
miles from Fort Augusta and
the city proper.
Today, the house at 2216
Wrightsboro Road is one of the
State’s most famous homes. It
is truly a showplace and fitting
memorial to a man who served
twice as governor of the state,
six times as representative to
Congress, once as United States
Senator, and also as Chief Jus
tice of the State Supreme Court.
An old-fashioned garden of
yesterday surrounds the house.
Here ivy clings to the pillars,
roses bloom from bushes that
came from a cutting that Mar
tha Washington planted, box
woods border the walks, and
mulberry trees brought over
by General Oglethorpe when
Georgia was first settled, shade
the paths.
Entering the house, the first
thing that meets the eye in the
narrow hall is a spinning wheel.
To the right is the drawing
room. . . all of its furniture of
the Colonial period. . . its walls
covered with interesting por
traits and prints.
Collectors of antique furni
ture would revel in the fine
old mahogany pieces that grace
the library as well as the huge
receptacle containing a col
lection of Revolutionary relics.
Only Colonial furniture is
seen in the dining room. The
china set was used by the Wal
ton’s as was the old clock that
even yet ticks off the hours.
In the large open fireplace
are heavy iron cooking uten
sils of the Revolutionary per
iod. Bottles, over two hundred
years old, are to be found in the
kitchen.
This two and one-half story
white clapboard house has hand
carved exterior and interior
trim and the delicate spider
web design of the banisters on
first and second story porches
show good Colonial detail. Mas-
out, “Lord, I believe: help thou
mine unbelief.” (Mark 9:23-
24) The important thing to re
member is this: You will never
make spiritual progress as long
as you are content to swim
around in your doubts. You
must move and live by your
affirmations.
“Our doubts are traitors,”
wrote William Shakespeare,
“and make us lose the good we
oft might win by fearing to
attempt.” Cast your burdens
on the Lord and begin to live
like you believe in Him. It will
not be long before you feel His
presence and sense the foolish
ness of any doubts that you
may have entertained. Augus
tine said, “Beware of despair
ing about yourself: you are
commanded to put your trust
in God, not in yourself.”

Georgia's Newest Southerner
By Charles E. Hooper
Some look at the moon . . .
others wait for a new frontal
system to move in ... a few
rely on a calendar, and a great
majority still use the Farmer’s
Almanac. There are some who
even combine all these methods
and add a few others, includ
ing water conditions, tide and
statistical data from a variety
of published reports. Who are
these people hnd what are they
looking for?
They’re Georgia fishermen
.... and they are trying to
decide on when and where to
go fishing. It’s practically im
possible to have even two fish
ermen to agree on the best type
bait, plug or equipment to use.
However, no matter what type
of data they use .... the moon
or the condition of the tide
. . . most Georgia fishermen
will agree that May is the best
month for fishing!
And reports from through
out the state indicate this is
true. Already reports from
Georgia’s thousands and thou
sands of acres of fresh water
lakes scattered throughout the
state indicate that the crappie
and bass are biting. The new
trout that was released just
three years ago in Georgia
streams has proved to have
quite an appetite for Georgia
bait. And just last week North
Georgia streams and lakes
were invaded by hundreds of
thousands of new fish . . . the
pike . . . that will provide
within the next three years ad
ditional excitement and plea
sure for Georgian’s. This habi
tual Yankee — the pike — is
Georgia’s newest southerner —
and he appears to be adjusting
very well to the cool lakes and
streams.
In the coastal areas ....
Savannah . . . Darien . . . and
Brunswick . . . salt water fish
ing has reached a peak. Mack
arel, snapper, groupers, sea
bass, as well as bonita’s and
other type game fish are pro
viding never-to - be - forgotten
thrills.
Why, the fishing is so good
now that last week-end at Lake
Lanier, a three year old boy
baited his own hook and caught
fourteen crappie . . . and
that’s no fishing tale either: If
by chance your luck is terrible
and not as good as the three i
year old, you’ll still find Geor
gia’s “Inland and Deepwater
Seas” a wonderful place to re
lax and enjoy wetting a hook.
Deficient Quality
Forage is Costly,
Research Shows
Feeding low quality forage
may well be the reason some
Georgia dairymen are getting
low milk production from their
herds despite the fact they are
feeding plenty of grain.
In feeding trials conducted
at the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion, Dr. M. E. McCullough,
research dairy nutritionist, has
found that more grain must be
fed with low quality forage
than the TDN (total digestible
nutrients) content of the for
ages indicate.
McCullough says that with
a 1,000-pound cow producing
40 pounds of four percent milk,
normal milk production would
be expected when 10 pounds
of grain are fed daily with a
high quality ration (68 per
cent TDN). With a low quali
ty forage (56 percent TDN),
however, it would take 26
pounds of grain to hold milk
production of this cow at the
same level. This extra 16
pounds of grain per day rep
resents the high price dairymen
pay for storing and feeding low
quality forage.
But May is the big month . . .
and the odds are you’ll make
a big haul for even a novice
has luck fishing in Georgia’s
waters.
Your neighborhood service
station operator will be glad
to assist you in selecting the
best route to your favorite
fishing area . . . and chances
are he may have a few “fish
ing tales to tell.”

Thursday, August 2.
McCullough believes this dif
ference probably explains much
of the lower milk production
in many DHIA herds which die
fed grain at a grain to milk
ratio of 1:2. He also believes
that this difference in forage
quality accounts for the fact
that some dairymen who feed
grain at this ratio are getting
less milk production than oth
er dairymen who feed only
half as much grain.
In another recent dairy feed
ing trial, this one conducted
at the College Experiment Sta
tion at Athens, the effect of
grain level fed with Coastal
Bermuda grass hay or silage
was highly significant. Os the
two grain ratios fed, the 1:2
grain to milk ratio produced
about four pounds more milk
per cow per day than did the
1:4 ratio.
This trial was conducted by
dairy research scientists C. M.
Clifton, W. J. Miller and N. W.
Cameron to determine the ef
fect of time of harvest and
method of preservation of
Coastal Bermuda grass upon
milk production.
The effect of early cutting
was significant during the sec
ond week, with a difference of
a little more than two pounds
of milk per day between early
and late cuttings ( four and six
weeks after previous cuttings).
This difference diminished as
the feeding period progressed,
however.
Cows getting the Coastal
Bermuda grass as silage pro
duced about one pound of milk
per day more than did those
receiving the grass as hay. The
dairy research scientists point
out that the difference in favor
of the silage may have been
due to the 100 pounds per ton
