DON'T LET THE GLOOMS GET YOU
One of our business neighbors met us the other day with the
most doleful face—you could feel his gloom a block away.
What'’s the use?
Sure, business is not as gousi 3s ,i,t’y!,ya"s,\a;year or two ago. But
what of it? All life from the dawn of the human germ has been ups
‘and downs. All nature has been ups and downs since the burst of
creation. Today’s depression is nothin ,j;’ew. There have been
hard times before and there will be harg times again—and again all
through the coming centuries. . '~
° Have you been knocked down by this particular slump of 1920-
21?7 “Well, well,” as Edmund Vance Cooke says, “What of that?
Come up with a smiling face. The harder you are thrown, the high
er you bounce,” because action follows rg,action and bad times today
are only the forerunner of good times tomorrow.
If your business is bad, if you have lost your job, if today looks
blue to you, don’t let the glooms get you. It is up to you to be up
and doing. Let in a little hope and imagination. DO SOMETHING
even if that something looks lamentably little under the circum
stances.
You-—nobody else—are the master of your own fate until you
let circumstances or some other fellow conquer you. If you permit
that to happen, you are not much more than half a man. Read Hen
ley’s poem again and get its meaning deep into your soul:
“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be :
For my unconquerable soul. ‘i
In the fell clutch of ~circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed. :
It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate, ; ‘
’ I am the captain of my soul.”
THE GEORGIA SWEET POTATO
(From The Athens Banner)
The Federal Farm Bureau has been quite active in bringing to
the attention of the people of this country the value of the sweet
yotato for bread and many other purposes and this summer there
will be made a tour of the western country with demonstrators and
lecturers on the sweet potato in order to introduce it in that sec
tion of the country. However, quite recently, it has,been discov
ered that the sweet potato is one of the best products grown for the
manufacture of syrup. It has been tried ont and the experiment has
proven successful, so much unti] the government has become inter
ested and will establish a plant at Fitzgerald. Equipment has been
ahipged to that place and work in earnest will soon be commenced
by the representatives of the government for the manufacture of
syfrup. e :
The sweet potato crop in this state is 6né of the cheapest that
can be grown and with many uses it can be put to, it will prove one
of the most profitable. 1f the demonstration tour proves a success,
and there can be no doubt about it, the demand for the Georgia
sweet’ potato will increase to such an extent that every farmer in
the state may grow fuil acreage and there will never come a time
when he will called upon to plant less acreage. The demand will
increase from year to year and the people of the west will continue
to eat the Georgia-raised yellow yam.
Georgia is one of the richest stat駙in the union in mineral and
agricultural lines and it is only a question of time when this state
will be crowded with investors and syrup plants will be springing
up in every county where sweet potatoes are grown plentifully.
The equipment for a syrup mill does not cost a great amount
and it is believed that within the next year every farmer in the
country will have a plant on his plantation.
Plant more potatoes and less cotton and panicky times will
never come in this state.

“RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST” b
The horror which pricked the hearts of the Jewish hearers of
Peter is somewhat hard for us to.understand, unkess we study care
fully what they thought about the Messiah.
Perhaps we can realize better how they felt if we suppose a
case: Suppose the Continental Army had been expecting the arri
val, after an absence of their beloved general, George Washington.
And then, suppose that, by some inexplicable mistake as to identity,
they had taken him, upon his return, to he the despised and hated
traitor, Benedict Arnold. Impetuously, they put him to death.
But, at the very instant when death writes its pallor on his face,
their eyes are no longer deceived ; they see that they have slain the
idol of their hearts, their country’s hope! . Their inexpressable hor-/
ror would be a faint image of that which these Jews felt under Pet
er’s preaching.
4 A Rk R
\
In the case just supposed, there would have been no hope for
those heart-broken and despairing men. But here, what hope do
we find! First, He is not dead. He whs'killed, it is true but He
could not be holden of the pains of death. There had been found a
marvelous remedy for their sin was heinous, yet it was not unfor
giveable. There is blessed room for repentance. Oh, how sweet in
their ears must have been the words, “Repent and be baptized,” in
response to their despairing question, “Men and brethren, what
shall we do?” And many are the souls in that family which is one
in Heaven and in earth that know,.as they came to know, in the
bitter pains of despair and sin, how sweet with heaven’s own music
is that word, “Repent.” R '

When God made me___and Reverence here brings

My life and make it perfect and complete..
The complement to me . . . Your lips he made ¢
Down just in reach, your hands he laid
A-nestle in my own, your thoughts the inspiration fine.
Of thoughts He gave me nigh divine,
Your sympathy, reflection of my moods, your heart
The perfect haven for my love and hope and faith___in every part
Of your white soul he had me in his mind. . For He
He loved me so, been good to me always. . . .

Nearly everybody in Southwest

of the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a‘
full half century fhas devoted his life

Friends or Quakers. |

respected citizen in art of the
state. In referring to his remarkable
restoration to health by Tanlac, he
said: %
“About five years ago I suffered
a general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me, and I had
to live on a very restricted diet. I
suffered a great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; 1 had severe pains
across the small of my back and was
badly constipated most of the time.
In fact, I was so weak and rundown
I was not able to attend to%fiqmies.
“This condition made me very nerv
ous and I could not sleep at night.
Frequently 1 would lie awake most
all night and was in that condition
more or less for five years. My

thing for me and suggested a change
