Editor Issues Warning
On Use Of Highways
By Heavy Trucks
Dallas, Ga., Oct. 13 (GPS)—
T. H. Parker, editor of the Dall
as (Ga.) New Era issues “A
Solemn Warning to the People
of Georgia,” in the current
issue of his newspaper, in dis
cussing editorially the damage
done to the highways by the
heavy trucks.
“Anyone who travels the
highways of our state cannot
but observe the disintegration
of our hard-surfaced roads, as
wel! as the cement highways,”
Mr. Parker declares. “A stranger
might have enough curiosity to
ask what caused the highways
to be in such conditions, but the
answer would be heavy timcks
traveling the highways.”
Mr. Parker says that the
people of Georgia should
awaken to the fact that these
trucks are wearing out the high
ways; that they are tearing
down the business of the rail
roads and the people, to quote
his exact words, “are getting
little or nothing but trouble out
of the whole situation.”
Need For Legislation.
“It is unfortunate indeed,”
continues Mr. Parker, “that
Georgia lawmakers have not
fit to bar , excessively . , large ,
seen
trucks from the roads or to place
a license charge on them that
would repay, in a measure, for
the damage they do.
“It is to be hoped that our
citizen's will arise in their just
wrath and demand that our
state legislature put a stop to
these high-handed practices.”
The Dallas editor further
shows that the railroads pay
large taxes to operate their
roads in the state; build their
own roadbeds at millions of
dollars of expense and employ
competent men to run their
trains.
“No drunken or incompetent
men are allowed to have their
hands on the throttle of an
engine, and before they can run
a train they must stand a rigid
examination,” he adds. “We do
not say that truck drivers drink,
but many of them are incompe
tent. Where will the roads of
Georgia and the railroads be in
30 years if this unfair competi
tion is allowed?”
Don’t forget the “Stunt
Night,” at the school audit
orium, Friday evening, October
14, at 8 o’clock.

Around The Circuit with
the Methodist Pastor
ST. MARYS REVIVAL:
We are having very large
congregations at each days and
night service at St. Marys this
week. The people seem to be
very much interested. Prof. T.
A. Peavy of Jesup has organized
the choirs and we are having
some very fine singing. We don't
know just how long the meeting
will continue. The public is
cordially invited to attend these
services.
We are very happy over the
results of our meeting at Wood
bine. The meeting, there was a
real revival and lasting good
was accomplished. The twenty
seven members received into
the church will mean much to
the Kingdom and the church is
in a great position to advance.
Thrity-seven members have been
received in the Woodbine church
since January. This a rcmar
able growth of about a 37 per
cent increase.
LAST QUARTERLY
CONFERENCE:
The last Quarterly Conference
of the year will be held at
Kingsland on November 2nd.
We have several days to get
everything in shape to make
good reports. Of course we shall
expect reports from every de
partment of our church activi
ties. With a well organized and
determined effort on the part of
our church officials and a full
co-operation on the part of our
people, the assessments will all
be paid and our reports at the
conference will bring joy to our
hearts. May each member of
the church do everything pos
sible to pay up their pledges for
the year. Many have kept up
with their pledges by paying up
monthly. Many have had to
make ? sacrifice to do it but they
have counted their church and
the cause of Christ worthy.
These members have not only
, received great blessings by
doing, but they have been
blessing to others and the church
because of their faithfulness
attend the services.
At a meeting with pastors
and Bishop Moore in Waycross
sometime ago, I reported to the
meeting, stating that I believed
the St. Marys charge can be
counted upon to pay every as
sessment in full and that our
loyal and faithful people of the
three churches will be satisfied
with nothing less than a hund
red per cent report. Now good
people, lets do it. “We can and
we will,” is a good motto.
WOODBINE SUNDAY
SCHOOL:
Our Sunday School attendance
at Woodbine reached one hund
red and twenty-one on the first
Sunday morning. We have not
had a report of the attendance
there last Sunday, but we be
lieve that they had a great
crowd. The fathers and mothers
in our church there have the
habit of going with their child
ren to Sunday School. Isn’t it
strange that they are not too
tired or that they do not find
the news papers or some maga
zine more interesting than the
Sunday School? The house wives
who do all of their work find
time to get their classes. The
street corners of Woodbine are
deserted on. Sunday mornings
during Sunday School hour. Is
there any wonder that the
church there is growing ?
A ONE MINUTE SERMON:
“He that saith he abideth in
Him ought himself also to walk,
even as He walked.” —1 John
2 : 6 .
The unconverted have a per
fect right to expect that you and
I who profess to abide in Christ
shall live a different kind of a
life from the worlding. To be
making a profession of religion
and live like a sinner or world
ling is like hanging a W. C. T. U.,
sign over a liquor joint or putt
ing a Y. W. C. A., sign over a
house of shame. You are a
finger board, either pointing
men to God or you are pointing
them to the devil. You are a
follower of Christ or a faker,
WHICH. Accept Christ as
Saviour. “This is the season of
hope and grace, Jesus is passing
by.”
MY CHRIST IS NOT A
HE IS NOT FOR REPEAL.
M. W. Flanders, Pastor,

St. Marys Distribution
Of Red Cross Flour
The following report of the
distribution of the Red Cross
Flour for the St. Marys District
is given for the benefit of
those interested in the same.
Number of 49 pound sacks re
ceived to date 93. Packages of

Number of white families as
sisted 35. Members of these
families, 121.
Number of Colored families

Having served as County
Chairman of the committee for
Food Conservation during the

scientious and p^ins
service for the deserving
of this side of the County.
W. R. Smith.
Red Cross Notes
An item in Savannah Morn
ing News of Monday quotes me
ns saying that there had been
more than a hundred calls for
flour made upon the Camden
County Chapter.
As matter of fact, there have
beer, more than SIX HUNDRED
calls, each call representing a
family, not individual.
This means that the Red Cross
is being called upon to help
practically half of the families
of the county. More than 100
calls have come in from St.
Marys alone.
These facts are brought out
in order to impress upon our
more privileged people the ur
gent necessity of helping these
unfortunates in every possible
way, and one of the best ways
is in support of the Red Cross.
All of the cloth will be in hand
by the last of this week, and
since this is only to be supplied
to the school- children, and only
in the form of ready made gar
ments, all of the ladies of the
county who can sew, are expect
ed to join in with their local
organizations who have accepted
this task, and help out in this
great work.
A. K. Swift,
Chapter Chairman.

Baptist Church
News Notes
We had a gracious time at
Woodbine on Sunday. The pastor
had the pleasure of conducting
two of the Sunday School classes
the young peoples’ and the
adult, which were combined, and
much appreciated the courtesy
and kindess of the Methodist
leaders of these classes.
The services were well attend
ed! especially the night service
at the close of which, in response
to an alter call some twenty or
thirty persons came forward to
pledge themselves to more con
secrated service to their Lord.
When people of different de
nominations kneel together in
such a solemn service, and
pledge themselves to a deeper
interest, and more self-sacrific
ing service in the interests of
God’s Kingdom, a revival has ar
rived. May God give to those
who came forward a double por
tion of His Spirit. Alter the
alter call, the pastor called for
saved people who wished to
identify themselves in the fellow
ship of the church to come for
ward, and two adults responded.
May these new members find
that joy and satisfaction in the
fellowship of the church that
should be characteristic of ail
Christian churches, and may
they themselves prove to be of’ of
great help to the church
which they are now members.
We are indeed grateful to our
Heavenly Father for the work
of grace that is going on in the
Kingsland Sunday School. It has
taken on new life, there is a
fine spirit manifesting itself,
officers, teachers and pupils are
helping in a wonderful way to
make the School effective. May
we soon see those dear children,
young people, and adults all in
side the Ark of Safety.

Hmesley, D. D Preacher
There were 68 present at Sun
day School last Sunday, let us
make it 78 as a minimum on
Sunday. Get out and ask some
one to come with you on Sunday,
They will probably come if you
ask them.
Let us do the same thing as
2’0o*py*r]s services appreciate There
people who will your
personal interest in them. Go
and see some of them before
Sunday, ask them to be ready
and you will call for them and
sit with them at the services.
You will get a blessing in
something from which they will
get good to their souls. Perhaps
at least one of them will get a
new vision of God and determine
to live for Him in closer, dearer
relations, and just think what
that would mean to you who en
couraged him to come to church.
You would go right out and get
another and bring him to the
next service. I need the Gospel,
You need the Gospel, WE need
the Gospel. We need it more and
more in these days when sin is
so rampant; when men and
women are going headlong to
hell. The Gospel of Jesus is still
“the Power of God unto Salva
tion to every one that believeth.”
It is meat and drink to the
hungry and thirsty soul; it is
the solace of all who are weary
and heavy laden; it is God’s
message of Redeeming Love to
all. It answers every problem,
meets every need, and satifies
every longing of the soul, for it
is God’s immutable Word.
Men and women of Kingsland,
COME TO CHURCH, AND
ABOVE ALL THINGS COME
TO GOD. “For God SO loved the
world, that He gave His only
Begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him, should not
perish but have EVERLAST
ING LIFE.” (John 3-16.)
Arthur Harrison, Pastor.
