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. tycp £â€“iu%aat (5rargian. 4_... **r Mrs. F.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1932. 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, Young* People Enjoys Weiner Roast The young- people of the Ep worth League of the Methodist Church enjoyed a weiner roast given at Gores"Landing on Mon day evening. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. E. Z. Naif, Mrs. Bernice Brown, Misses Marian Carleton, Ann Scott, Mary Estelle Lang, Racheal Griffith, Geneva Royal, Ada Mae Carmi chael and Mary Susie Templeton, Messrs.

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 flour distriubted, 194. . Number of white families as sisted 35. Members of these families, 121. Number of Colored families helped 85. Members of these families, 244. Having served as County Chairman of the committee for Food Conservation during the last War we were asked to take charge of this work for our dis trict, and serving with us is Mrs. Lee Bunkley Jr., an effi cient Red Cross worker in the past and Mr. Samuel Bealey, who has willingly loaned us his truck for transporting the flour from Woodbine and also assist ed in its distribution. The Colored Committee ap pointed consists of Toler Harris, principal ox the colored school well known to all the colored people and Freeman Foreman, pastor of the Baptist Church and A. L. Smith, pastor of the Methodist Church at this place all of whom have rendered 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. Woodbine Social – Personal News The Amegementa Club was entertained on Tuesday after noon by Miss Eunice Godley.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT Prof, and Mrs. C. W. Miller, Woodbine are receiving con gratulations on the arrival of a baby girl, born October 9. Be sure and attend the “stunt night,” at the school auditorium, Friday evening at 8 o’clock. 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. Services on Sunday wil be at Kmgsland at the usual hours, 10:00 a. m., Sunday School; it;-.00 a. m., Bible Class: 11:00 a. m., Morning Worship 7:45 p. m., Evening Worship. Rev. W. F. 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.)
