> Amendment 19
What is AMENDMENT 19?
1. AMENDMENT 19 gives producers of various commodities the
riuht to determine whether they will establish Commissions to
assess themselves to conduct research, promotional, and educa
tional programs to improve the production and marketing of their
products.
2. Past experience indicates that the CONSUMER secures a better
product because of the work of COMMISSIONS.
3. This WILL NOT increase taxes or prices. All expenses are paid by
the producers.
AMENDMENT 19 has to do with the various Commodity Commissions. A
Commodity Commission comes into being when the producers of a commodity
thru a referendum vote to have a Commission.
The primary purpose of a Commodity Commission is to improve the pro
duction and marketing of the product with which it is concerned. This means
that the Consumer receives at the market a higher quality product. This is
done through programs of research, education, and promotion. These pro
grams help the producer by reducing the amount of poor quality products
going on the market They help the Consumer by assuring him of a higher
quality product.
And remember, the producer pays the cost of the Commission by assess
ing himself so much per unit of production to defray the costs of the program.
The Commissions do not increase taxes or prices since the producer pays the
cost. There are now eight Commodity Commissions in Georgia. These deal
with peanuts, tobacco, cotton, eggs, milk, sweet potatoes, peaches and
apples. AMENDMENT 19 will also provide for producers of other agricultural,
forest and fishery products to form Commissions.
We would strongly urge that you vote "yes" on AMENDMENT 19 which
merely gives the producers of a Commodity the right of self (determination.
A vote for AMENDMENT 19 does not mean that you are voting for Commis
sions, as valuable as they are. It merely means that you are giving the pro
ducers of Commodities the right to form Commissions if they so desire.
The producers of Apples, Cotton, Eggs, Milk, Peaches, Peanuts,
Sweet Potatoes and Tobacco ask that you PLEASE

If We Knew Our Need,
Would We Make It Profitable to Us?
Christianity is not simply a system of emp
ty rituals and arbitrary codes; it is away
of life. Christ's disciples are told to deny
themselves, take up the cross daily and fol
low Him (Lk 9:23). In every worthwhile en
deavor there must be a standard by which
actions are measured. Since Christian living
involves our happiness here and hereafter,
we should determine the standard by which
our lives are to be regulated. Paul shows the
danger of measuring ourselves by others
when he said: "But they measuring them
selves by themselves, and comparing them
selves among themselves, are not wise" (2
Cor. 10:12). It is just as unwise and tragic
for us now to pattern our lives after the
lives of others, as it was for those of Paul's
day.
Christians cannot determine their course in
life by their own inclinations, emotions,
likes or dislikes. Such a course would mean
that every man is a law unto himself, and
lead to anarchy and confusion. God says,
"The way of man is not in himself; it is
not in man that walketh to direct his own
steps" (Jer. 10:23). Again, "There is away
that seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof is the way of death" (Prov. 1 6:25).
Secure lives cannot be build upon a fragile
foundation composed of sand, doctrines and
commandments of men. Such renders the
word of God of "none effect," makes our
worship vain and meaningless and leads to
destruction (Matt. 1 5:6-1 4). To whom, then,
shall we goi’ Who is capable of regulating
our lives? Jesus Christ is the only one to
whom man can go and find the proper di
rection (foundation) for his life. He is the
head of the church (Eph. 1:22, 23); He is the
King of His Kingdom (Col. 1-13; I Cor. 15:
25); He has all authority (Matt. 28:18-20);
By virtue of these truths He gives us the di
rection we need for Christian living. This
guidance comes not directly or miraculous
ly, but through the inspired word of God —
his law. This law is perfect.
"But whoso looketh into the perfect law of
liberty, and continueth therein, he being not
a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed" (Jms.
Q 1:25). This law will furnish one completely
< unto every good work. "All scripture given
Oby inspiration of God is profitable for doc
“ trine, reproof, correction, instruction in
§ righteousness that the man of God may be
w perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every
- good work" (2 Tim. 3:16, 17).

Work For The Night Is Coming
4 Composer Raises The Ire Os A Poet
Lowell Mason was past three score and
ten. According to the Scriptures, he was
running on borrowed time. Maybe that’s
why the noted composer was pushing hard
to wind up a series of music books titled
“1 he Song Garden,” prepared especially,
he said in the preface, “for schools and
families.”
Before the days of Mason, the ability to
play an instrument, or to sing by note was
for the few who could afford private train
ing. Churchgoers, for the most part, de
pended on songleaders to set the tune and
intermittently read lines of a hymn. But,
after 40 years of concerted effort. Lowell
Mason had changed all that. Besides writ
ing many a noble tune, he kept a dozen
choirs going at one time, put music in pub
lic schools of Boston, helped his pupil, Wil
liam Bradbury, do the same in New York,
and organized rural “singing-schools” from
Boston to Savannah, where he once clerked
in a bank.
"Nearer, My God, To Thee.” “My Faith
Looks Up To Thee,” and many another
great hymn was born when Lowell Mason
recognized possibilities in a piece of poetry
and set it to music. While searching for
new material for his song books “for
schools and families,” Mason was attracted
by a poem in a little volume titled “Leaves
From the Backwoods.” The author was an
English girl named Annie Louise Walker.
Miss Walker had written the poem after
Work, for night is coming,
Work thro’ the morning hours,
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flowers,
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun,
Work, for the night is coming,
When man s work is done.
Work, for the night is coming,
Work thro’ the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.

products.
reading in St. John (9:4), “The night com
eth, when no man can work,” while visiting
her railroad engineer brothers at Sarnia,
Canada, in 1854.
Now it was 1864. Annie Walker had
gone back to England and married wealthy
Merchant Harry Coghill. Mason wrote
Mrs. Coghill that her poem had possibili
ties as a song if one syllable were dropped
from the fourth line in each of the three
stanzas —for example, “Rest cometh sure
and soon” should read, “Rest comes sure
and soon.”
“I am utterly unable to see what advan
tage there can be in any alteration—” Mrs.
Coghill indignantly replied, adding that
she could not “in any way agree to what
I extremely dislike.”
Lowell Mason dropped the syllables. He
set the poem to music. He published it- in
the second book of his “The Song Garden”
series. Eight years later, in 1872, at even
four score years, the night came when “the
dean of American hymn-tune composers”
worked no more. Annie L. Coghill wrote
six novels and a volume of verse and be
came noted as a critic and “reviewer of
books” before she died at Bath. England,
in 1907. But her fame lies today in a sim
ple poem she wrote when she was 18 years
old—a poem that might have been forgot
ten had not Lowell Mason struck out three
syllables and set to music:
Give every dying minute
Something to keep in storo;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is darkening,
When man’s work is o’er.

the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
me free from the law of sin and death"
(Rom. 8:2). Adherence to this law will es
tablish contact with our Heavenly Father.
Citizenship in a nation styled a Christian
nation does not make one a Christian any
more than living in a chicken house will
make one a chicken. Morality, though nec
essary, alone is not the sum and substance
of a Christian life. Cornelius was a good
man morally before he learned of Christ
but he was not a Christian until he had ac
cepted Christ (Acts 10:1-3). Acceptance of
Christ involved hearing, believing and obey
ing his Word (Matt. 7:21). Neither will re
ligion alone suffice, for many who are re
ligious are not following Christ — they are
religiously wrong. Think of the multitudes
throughout the world who worship idols and
false gods. They are quite religious but are
not Christians. Saul of Tarsus was a religi
ous man while he persecuted the Lord's peo
ple but at that time he was not a Christian.
In order to become a Christian it was nec
essary for him to obey the law of the Spirit
of life in Christ Jesus (Acts 22:16).
We must sustain the proper relationship to
Christ if our lives are to be Christian. One
may render great services to his country, but
he is not a soldier unless he is in the Army.
Just so, men may do good things, their lives
may be above reproach morally, but if they
are not in Christ, they are not Christians.
Those in Christ are new creatures and old
things have passed away and all things have
become new (2 Cor. 5:17). Many people
claim to be Christians but one would never
know it by the life they live. They cling to
old carnal habits, language and deeds that
were prevalent in their life before confessing
Christ. A life apart from Christ and outside
of his body cannot be correctly called Chris
tian.
A Christian is one who patterns his life aft
er Jesus Christ; He left us a perfect example
and we are urged to follow it (1 Pet. 2:21).
Jesus refrained from doing evil; instead he
went about doing good—the Christian must
do likewise. Christian living is pictured as
fruitbearing. Jesus is the vine, Christians “4
are branches, those who do not bear fruit >
are to be taken away (Jno. 1 5:1 -6). The fruit Z
or deeds of Christians must be good or be
cast into the fire. "The fruit of the Spirit is*
love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, ®
goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-con- •
trol; against such there is no law" (Gal. Jii
2:22,23). 2
