Two good services character
iqed the first Sunday at Olive
Branch Church. The attendance
at both was gratifying. The B.
T U. presented a very instruc.
live program at the night service.
On Tuesday night a Sunday School
meeting was held in the church
auditorium. There were a num
ber of officers and teachers present
and matters of interest were gone
into.
On Sunday the services will b?
at Pembroke and we are looking
for a good day.
Sundays are good days for
preachers, for there is no joy to
equal chat of standing m the
Name of the Lord to declare His
word. We realize that much of
what is said is not accepted by
those who hear for various rea
sons. There are those who hardly
bear at all because the mind and
Oughts are “afar off”. Others
lo not heed because it would in
volve so much to follow a relig
ious discourse, and they are not
n the habit of discipling the mind
but let it have it’s wandering way
n church as well as elsewhere.
Others who admit to themselves
the truth of what they hear do
jot accept it because they are set
n the ways of the unrighteous
jess and the world, the flesh and
;he devil have made such grooves
ind impressions on their life that
they have no deep desire to be
impressed. But there are always
ome, just a few who, no matter
who the preacher might be, would
let good out of the service; They
ire the choice souls who “hunger
and thirst after righteousness.’’
They are appreciative of the
numbs that fall.
But it is great to be conscious
of a call to preach the everlasting
^ord of God. The work itself
irings its own reward if faithfully
ttempted. It thrills the heart of
(very true preacher to know that
God will speak through the “weak
things of this world” to ‘‘con*
ound the mighty.” Whether
he word is accepted or not is not
us responsibility, but that of the
carers. If Christ is presented
md is then crucified by someone
n the pew then His blood will be
ipon their head, not that of the
•reacher, but if He is not pre
ented. His blood will be on the
lead of the preacher. Nevei the

Goes Foraging
When the "yunguns” get hun
gry it is time to get out and get
something to eat.
That was exactly what we did
on Wednesday,
We had been hearing about
Lester Shaw being the "irish po
tato king” of the coastal section
and having more irish potatoes
than "Carter had oats”, so we
decided to go down and visit the 4
"irish potato king in person”,
this we did, and we came away
with two sacks of Lesters irish
potatoes,
Ou our way back we stopped
at the home of uncle Moss Strick
land and again we were lucky,
we finally got together about one
hundred fine cantaloupes and a
crate of the finest tomatoes that
we have ever tasted, and then we
headed for home.
But in order to make the day a
complete ^success we stopped at
uncle Billie Downs and there we
received the "cold cash”.
Naturally the “chillun" was
mighty glad to see us when we
got back home.
We found the irish potato king
busy building him a new filling
station and country store on the
Coastal Highway where the road
from Daniel Siding comes out to
the highway, a fine location for a
store. Lester was perfectly will
ing to quit, in fact he only drove
one nail as long as we were there,
and that was quite a while.
There is no better citizen in
Bryan county than Lester Shaw,
hi takes one half of his time at
tending to his own business and
the other half letting the other
fellows alone.
When we stopped at uncle Moss’
place we found him, Mrs. Strick
land and all the other Stricklands
busy gathering cantaloupes, to
matoes, etc., to carry to market
in Savannah. We hardly ever
go by uncle Moss’ place without
stopping, for we know that we
will always get something before
we leave, and this we did on Wed
nesday. We told them that we
were coming back and they "in
sisted” on us doing so, ml we are
going to do that very thing.
If uncle Billie Downs had not
been in such a hurry to get off to
“meeting” we would have fared
better there, but as it was we got
the cash and that helps out a lot.
Uncle Billie and his crowd were
just fixing off to Little Creek
where the protracted meeting is
now going on.
We are going to make another
trip out in a few days, we are
going down in Bryan Neck and we
are going to see uncle Dick Dea
son and cousin Arthur Parker and
a whole lot of our other relatives
in that section, and on the way
back we are going to stop with
cousin Harry Kessler. In fact
we may go and carry the “widow
and orphans” and stay a week or
so.

and is not hired nor can he be
fired. God commissions him and
where God wants him to labor,
there He will be with him in his
efforts for the Kingdom; when
God wants him somewhere else
the evidences will be marked out
for him. All that a preacher
needs to do is to trust God to put
him where He wants him, and
when there to say what the I -ord
commands and do what he knows
is for the honor of Christ.

Costing Lots
Os Money To
Hunt Amelia
The search for Amelia Earhart
and her flying companion Fied
Noonan is costing the tax payers
of the United States about two
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars a day.
This is a prettv costly thing to
the people of the United States.
Os course we are all interested in
finding Amelia and her compan
ion.
We may be old fogey and out
of date, but we have never seen
where Amelia had any business
out there flying around all over
the world with another woman-’
husband. It may be o. k. but we
know one thing and that is that
we would never stand for a wife
of ours to do this.
Amelia and her boy friend is
probably out on an island and
having a time. In fact time is
about all they have, waiting for
some one to rescue them.
It may be that they flew one
time too -many.
Captain Stubbs
Remembers His
Many Friends
On Monday Capt- J- C- Stubbs
was m Pembroke and remember
-1 ing some of his many friends with
fine watei melons. They were of
a fine quality and Captain Stubbs
had no trouble getting rid of his
load.
Now we know that if Captain
Stubbs will come all the way to
Pembroke to give the editor a
watermelon, that when we get
down to Lanier and become one
of his neighbors he will almost
"feed us”.
Nothing like having good neigh
bors.
We are planning on moving to
Lanier about the first of August
and can hardly wait to get there.
Sure hope that we get there before
the melons are all gone.
Used Cave for Glass Work

was George Hay (1566-1625). Ha

coast, and set up his furnace there-

We Take Our Hat
Off to W. B. Taylor
He done went and put a fast
one over on us.
That is something for him to
boast about.
We generally do it to the other
fellow before he has time to do it
to us.
If we could only locate him and
get some of his pictures we would
have no trouble in selling enough
to offset the amount that he beat
us out of last week.
We have always heard that it
will come sooner or later, and
last week when W. B. Taylor, a
traveling advertising salesman
pulled a fast one over on us and
beat us out of twenty dollars of
newspaper space and two dollars
in cash, that was the first time we
have let the other fellow beat us
to it.
While we regret the loss of the
advertising money and the cash
that this man Taylor got us for,
we can’t help but admire him and
must say that we take our hat off
to him.
This is "two” to beat us, the
first one and the last one.
The next high pressure adver
tising salesman that comes along
and wants to buy space from us
we will make him put it on the
"barrel head.”
A burnt child dreads the fire.
