Baptist Church Notes
Arthur Harrison
Christmas is over and we now
look towards the new year. Some
how, people greet each new year
with optimism; there is evidence
of hopefulness in the attitude of
most to the coming of a new year.
That is well, for if we can adopt
that attitude, the chances are
we shall make efforts to make
the new year a better year than
the one just passed. If we are re
ally willing to learn lessons from
the experiences of the old year,
surely the new year will be happy
and successful. Let us all greet
the New Year hopefully.
At the service on Christmas
morning a new Bible was pre
sented to the church for use in
the pulpit: by the Matt e Par
rish Circle of Woman’s Mission
ary Society. Mrs. T. J. Bacon is
the Circle leader: she handed the
Bible to the pastor, and he
thanked the members on behalf
of the church, and then reading
the Christmas scripture from the
hew Bible, offered a dedicatory
prayer.
At the close of the service, two
new members were received into
the fellowship of he churrh.
Let us di make a good start in
the New Year and keep it up
week by week and month by
month.
“As mountain travelers at some
resting place
Are fain to pause, their distant
path to trace,
Bathed in the purple haze, their
eyes yet scan
The clustering homestead where
the path began.
The joyuous stream that slaked
their eager thrist,
The turning point whereon their
vision burst,
A world of glory, never dreamed
before—
E’en so the New Year bids us
pause once more,
Sweet memory's softening influ
ence to feel,
While at the wayside cross she
bids us kneel:
Then the brave hearts serener
heights ascend,
Where the sunlight and deep peace
forever blend.”
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO
ALL.

Editors Family
In Auto Wreck
On Christmas day the editor
and his family was in an auto
wreck or collision in the city of
Savannah.
Ws had gone to the city to spend
Christmas with a sister and on
our way to her house and while
stopped at a traffic light at West
Broad and Broughton we had the
misfortune of “being in the way”
of a drunken negro.
We were knocked across the
street and had damages to our car
of more than one hundred dollars,
to say nothing of being scared out
of our wits.
The negro, Joe Hall was given
a sentence of ninety days on Mon
day morning. He got time and we
got a torn up automobile.
We are thankful to know that
no one was injured in our car. We
will manage to get our car repair
ed and will overcome our wreck.
The sad part of it was that the
negro was not able to help us re
pair our car. In fact there was at
least a half dozen cases tried in
Police Court on Monday where
some drunken driver had run into
or over some other fellow and in
each instance the fellow that was
in the wrong was poor as Jobs
Turkey and didn’t have a dime to
help pay the expenses of repairing
the car that he was the cause of
being torn up.
We hope to see the day come
when Georgia will have a law
that requires each and eve y
driver of an automobile to carry
liability insurance, then when
some sorry drunken driver runs
into you and demolishes your car
you will have some redress. As
it is there is nothing to do but
grin and bear it.
Weather Has Been
Mighty Cold Here
During the past few days the
weather in and around this neck
of the woods has been terribly
cold. Those who were without
wood or coal have been suffer
ing from the intense cold.
But to every bitter there comes
a sweet, and while it has been
mighty cold and disagreeable to
some of us, to others it has been
a welcome visitor as it enabled
them to kill their hogs and save
their meat.
