Baptist Church News Notes On Sunday we shall begin a new Associational year in our church work. God has been good to us during the last year, we have not deserved His goodness, and the knowledge that we have not been as grateful as we ought, should be cause enough for us to come to God in confession of our neglect, and in humble sur render of ourselves to Him in more earnest service. None of us can plumb the depths of the love of God for sinful men; our conception of Him is often false, and the only remedy is to be found in a greater desire to do His will, and to know Him better. The churches have suf fered through what has come to be known as “the depression,” but the most unfortunate thing is that we have allowed ourselves to a large extent to become spiritually depressed. We are glad however that there are evidences of an awak ening from this state. There is manifesting itself a greater in terest in spiritual things. At Kingsland, the last Sunday vrai the best we have had for at least nine months. The Sunday School attendance was better, the at tendance at the morning service was noticably better, the night service gave us almost a capa city attendance, and two addi tions to the church. The mid week service had the largest at tendance for a long time, about thirty or forty. God is blessing us and only awaits the chance in our own lives to give us a great revival. At Ruhamah, the church is in fine condition. The revival there is not over, but is just beginning. A B. Y. P. U., has been organized a V/. M. U., rally is to be held there at an early date, and the membership as a whole is keenly interested and is working for the upbuilding of God’s Kingdom. At Woodbine the members of the church are showing signs of in terest, and at a conference held there on Tuesday night, mem bers expressed themselves as wishing to see a real forward movement. All that is needed to have our desires realized is unity among the church members of all the churches, and more prayer and less criticism of a destructive character. If the entire membership of the churches in Camden county will seek to accomplish the Will of God instead of satisfying the whims of the individual, and will cease the pernicious practice of tattling, and get to its knees in prayer, no one can measure the blessing and the prosperity that will result. Now let us start the new As sociational year on Sunday as it ought to be. Let us go to church in the spirit of worship. Services will be at Kingsland at the usual hours: Sunday School 10:00 a. m. Bible Class 10:00 a. m., Morning worship 11:00 a. m. B. Y. P U. 7:00 p. m. Evening Worship 8:00p. m. The pastor’s subject at the morning hour will be, “The Vision and Its Challenge” and at night, “The Meaning of the Cross.” There will be something of in terest in each message for the individual who is seeking a closer walk with God. Come and worship with us at both ser vices. At the close of the morning service a short Church Con ferences will be held for the pur pose of electing or re-electing officers for the year. Come prepared to help with wise suggestions if your mem bership is in the Kingsland Church. Messengers have been elected from' each church to attend the Association vjhich n^eets with the Midway Baptist- Church, Midway on Thursday and Fri day October 6th and 7th. This will be a great meeting, full of inspiration and the revival spirit, and those attending can be as sured of a very blessed time, and will come back fc> their INDEPENDENT - JUST - PROGRESSIVE KINGSLAND, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 1932 Rogers Is Winner In Wayne Contest L. W. Rogers, sheriff of Wayne county, was Monday nominated for the legislature in a run-off primary, defeating W. Glenn Thomas, present repre sentative, by a majority of 122 votes. The contest was one of the most spirited in Wayne county in many years and an unusually heavy vote was polled. In the Democratic primary two weeks ago there were three candidates for representative in Wayne county, and Mr. Rogers and Mr. Thomas were the two high, the vote of all three being unusually close, and the second primary was held Monday. Meeting: Of The Kingsland P. T. A. At the last meeting of the Kingsland Parent-Teacher Asso ciation, a plan was worked out whereby each room of the school can make a little money for its own needs. The success of this venture depends entirely upon the support of the school patrons and the general public. It was decided that each week one room of the school will col lect from donations a supply groceries, and that on Saturday these goods will be sold by the pupils among the homes Kingsland. The items will all standard supplies needed in each home, and the prices will be as low as can be bought elsewhere in town. The sixth and seventh grades, with Mrs. G. T. Butler, teacher, and Mrs. R. C. Powell, room mother, are to be in charge this week. On Saturday, October 1st, pupils of these grades will probably Kingsland. visit each home in If there is any article among their stock which you could use now or later, they will appreciate your patronage. P. T. A., is expecting your kind help in this project. Colored Home Des troyed By Fire The home of Cloven and Eliza Butler, colored, near Tarboro was destroyed by fire last Satur day about mid-night. A child, one of eleven, six years old, lost its life, its parents being unable to rescue it from the burning building. The char red remains were found next day, after water had been thrown in the hot ashes suffi ciently, to make a search. > The family without a home, or clothing are now asking for help. LIFE’S DARKEST MOMENT “My Wife is suffering untold “I agony.” am sorry. What is the matter with her?” “She has an inflamed throat and cannot talk about it.” —Philadelphia Star. _ tive churches much revived and helped. As we close these notes it is with strong prayer to God for all Christian people in this com munity. May He make us all more Christlike, more gentle, more humble, more earnest and more loving to Himself and to one another. No church has His approval and blessing, and no church can prosper which is not growing more like Him who is the Great Head of the Church. Let us make the following our prayer:— Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without Thy guiding Hand we go astray And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble alone, when we walk Involved in shadows of a dark some night. Only with Tnee we journey safely on Lead us, O Father, to heavenly rest, However rough and steep path may be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest blest, Until our lfves are in Thee. Arthur Harrison, Pastor. Education For Child ren This Year You as an adult can postpone plans, readjust to a changed economy, but in the education of children it is a matter of this year or never. The education that is denied to childhood today is irretrievably lost. We cannot plot the opportunities of youth along the zigzag lines of a busi ness graph. Childhood is all too brief a period in which to be come fitted for the welter of modern life. We cannot say to a child: “Next year we shall see about improving your instruction in health. Next year we shall pro vide a new course in citizenship which fits you for society’s pressing problems. We shall buy you some fine new library books, paratus, new maps, new laboratoiy ap next year. Next year we shall furnish you a wonderful textbook in geography, or his tory, or arithmetic.” For that child, this year’s schooling is at least a twelfth, perhaps an eighth, a half—yes, even all—of his remaining education. It is this year or never! Many things for which we spend public money may be post poned—roads, bridges, new pavements, new lights, but not the education of youth. Are you helping people to see this? The fine educational ap portunities enjoyed by children today accident. have not come about by Are we to allow them to be dissipated at the first financial exigency? You, the teacher, can hold up your end, if they don’t overload you too much. But you must have good tools. You and the bare walls are not enough to fit the child for the demands of this complex age. Stand firm for the sacred rights _ of every child—the child of 1932 is no less deserving than the child of 1929. The opportuni ties we deny him now are lost forever. Weiner Roast The Ruhamah Baptist Sun day School hon.ored Rev. W. O. Floyd with a weiner roast on Thursday evening given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Lewis.

TIME IS PASSING: What are we doing with the time that God is giving us to spend here on earth? Have you begun to live yet? “I can’t die,” said a young woman of twenty eight when told that she was mortally injured in an automo bile accident. “I have never yet begun to live. All that I have done yet is to lead the fashion in society.” You, my young and older friends, have you begun to live yet? Or have you been too busy at something else? Too busy making money? Too busy having a good time? Too busy gratify ing the desires of your physical being and letting your spiritual life plough through mire of filth and sin ? Yes, time is passing rapidly. It will soon be time you to die. It may be very short with many who are enjoying good health at this time. The time is drawing near when you will meet the GREAT JUDGE MENT. Will that time be well with you? Are you prepared for the occasion. Are you satisfied? Is God Satisfied? Where did you spend the time during last Sunday? Many were at church last Sunday morning and evening. Many were not there. Many were blessed be cause they were at church wor shipping. Others did not receive a blessing because they were not at church, neither were they in terested in the church nor their spiritual life. Therefore, they tire weaker and the worse off because of their absence and in difference. Where were you last Sunday ? We will account for all of the time that we are spending here in this world, and just haw we spend it. May the GOOD LORD lead everyone to understand this great fact. We appreciate the fine congregations that are at tending our churches over the charge. Time spent in Holy Com munion and Worship is time well spent.

No. 45 Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28—The Forestry Division of the Depart ment of Forestry and Geological Development has' inaugrated an organization of Forest Fire Fighters to supplement the pre sent Timber Protective Organi zations. The new organization, according to State Forester B. M. Lufburrow, is to provide for the needs of smaller land owners who desire to cooperate with each other in fighting each other fires. The existing Timber Pro tective Organizations are operat ed on a minimum ef ten thou sand acres per unit and meet the needs of the large land owners. The newest plan, according to the state forester, will provide for areas where it is difficult to form a 10-thousand acre unit, and will provide leadership to carry out plans of fire fighting, as well as to establish local responsibility for fire control. Some fire fighting equipment and instructions as to methods of fire fighting are included in the plan, according to the state forester. The first unit of this type of organization has been formed in the region of Commerce by Prof. C. L. Veatch, agricultural voca tional teacher, who was active in developing this plan of forest fire protection. Reports coming to the Forestry Division indicate that a number of communities are ready to join the new organi zation. Georgia Weekly Industrial Review Gainesville—William T.
