SCATTER

Pembroka
Charge
A wise old pastor paid a call
on a man who had not been to
church lately. Pastor and parish- I
iner talked for a moment about ; ।
things in general. Then the pas- ;
tor spoke about the man’s ab- |
sence from church. To this the j
church member replied, “Pastor, ;
I seem to be getting along pretty •
well by myself.” Tht^ good pastor
said nothing but took a pair of
fire tongs and lifted a fiery coal
from the bright fire that warmed
and blessed the rum. He placed :
the coal off by itself on the hearth,
then sat quietly waiting and ;
watching. That red-hot coal be- j
gan to lose its fiery color. It got
darker and darker. After some
few minutes it. was no longer a |
fiery, hot coal, it had become a '
black coal —a dead coal I
Our friend had been watching
too. He noted with care the fact
that the coal burned brightly when
together with its fellows. He had
seen how the coal had lost its fire
and died when set out alone. Turn- ,
ing to his pastor he said, "Pastor,
1 will be back together with my ’
brethren next Sunday in Sunday
school and church.”
This man had learned a truth
that we ought to know and re
member—we can’t burn brightly,
we can’t even live, alone. God
did not make man to live alone.
We need to have, and enjoy, fel
lowship with our fellow creatures.
That is why we need to attend
Sunday School and church where (
we get the best of Christian fel
lowship. We just must remember
“If you scatter your coals, the fire
is surely to die!”
Daughter of Local
Couple is Injured
In Wreck
The daughter of a local couple
was injured in a wreck which oc- j
curred on Wednesday of last week j
in Statesboro.
Although Mrs. Harry Eason was
given emergency treatment and re
leased from Bulloch County Hos
pital, her injuries were very pain
ful and serious. The former Miss
Hilda Williamson, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Hudson Williamson, and
two of her three children were
hurt when another car pulled
across the road, causing Mrs. Ea
son to ram into it. The driver’s
vision was obscured by shrubbery
and he couldn’t see Mrs. Eason’s
car. tl is understood that no case
was made. yhe accident happened
at 5 o’clock in the afternoon on
College Boulevard.
Susan, 6, and Lloyd, 9, were in- |
jured and treated at the hospital, I
both were in the back seat but
Susan was pitched into the front
seat by the impact. Neal, 3, was
uninjured.
Nine stitches were necessary to
close a wound in Mrs. Eason’s
head caused by the sun visor. Her
knees were injured by the dash
board and she received multiple
bruises. She is also suffering from
shock. A broken rib was caused,
it is thought, by the steering
wheel.
Mr. Eason is connected with
Attaway Construction Company as
superisor and both are well known
in Pembroke.
Mrs. J. Gordon Bacon has re
turned home after a brief visit
with her daughter, Mrs. W. W. I
Pickett and Sgt. Pickett at Fort;
