PRINTING INDUSTRY WEEK
This is Printing Industry Week
in celebration of the 30Uth Anni
versary of Printing in Colonial
America. In 1639, three centu
ries ago, on a single hand press,
Stephen Daye produced the first
printing ever done in the Ameri
can colonies.
In 1939, the United States Gov
ernment, through a special three
cent postage stamp imprinted
with the picture of the Stephen
Daye press, commemorates this
event which led to the growth of
a great industry. It is the first
time such an honor has been con
ferred upon an industry. Not
only is printing one of the great
est of all arts, but the Graphic
Arts Industry, taking in those
industries whose chief function
is to supply all materials, is the
greatest of all American indus
tries.
It seems almost beyond belief
that the humble press manned by
Stephen Daye three centuries
ago should have become such a
vital factor in our life today. It
is a significant fact that the first
work produced on that first press
brought to America was “The
Freeman’s Oath” and the second
was “The Bay Psalm Book,” the
first book printed in English in
America.
Printing has played a leading
role in the national and in the
educational growth of our nation.
No comments on this industry
would be complete without a
tribute to Benjamin Franklin,
that great American who lent
new dignity and importance to
the art of printing. Franklin
through the printed word did
much to stimulate thought and
crystallize a spirit of indepen
dence which transformed into
action made us a nation.
In the present world of chaos
and terror, our printed newspa
pers, magazines, and books have
thrown the light of truth upon
false doctrines and have helped
us hold to our ideals of true de
mocracy. Text books printed
upon presses have made the peo
ple of the United States the most
educated of all nations.
Printing has become the med
ium thru which the ideas of some
can be shared by all. Every
righteous cause is advanced thru
the medium of printing an d
every bad cause weakened. In
fact, no other medium can ever
take the place of the printed
word.
As you recall its benefits to
you, individually, and to this
nation, be thankful anew for the
printing industry.
TRIBUTE TU LATE EDITOR
As one who still mourns the
death of the late John H. Hodges,
Sr., for many years editor of tin.
Houston Home Journal published
at Perry, one of the bast editors
in the state in his day, our in
terest was attracted last week U
the item appearing Mow takei
from the Home Journal of last
week which indicates Mr. Hodges’
advanced ideas that in a large
measure have been adopted to
Georgia’s good. A paragraph
taken frem Editor Hodges’ paper
published in 1889-50 years ago -
quotes him as having made a
fight against the use of jute bag
ging and urged the use of cotton
bagging for cotton bales, de
plored the waste of timber, fa
vored tariff for revenue only, ad
vocated the Australian Ballot
system for Houston county, criti
cised the Georgia legislature se
verely, urged farmers to diversi
fy, to rotate crops, to be busi
ness-like in farm management,
urged adoption of public school
system, and encouraged organi
zation of Perry bank and all pub
lic improvements.—The Butler
Herald.
We deeply appreciate the
above comment from our good
friend, Charlie Benns.
71.5 per cent of the adult pop
ulation of Houston county paid
no ad valorem taxes in 1938 and
were not supposed to pay any
because they are not on the tax
digest as property owners. In
other words, 29,5 per cent of the
people in this county are bearing
the tax burden of Houston coun
ty and paying the state tax of 5
mills. |

THE INFANCY OF JESUS i
♦
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2; 13-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being Interpreted
is. God with us.—Matthew 1:23.
Looking forward to an experience
in life which promises to be both in
teresting and profitable always
brings a glow of expectation. Some
thing of that spirit should pervade
the Bible schools of our land as
they begin a six-months study in the
Gospel of Matthew,
Consideration of our Lord’s life
properly starts with the story of His
birth, but we reserve that for our
Christmas lesson. Today we stress
the manner in which the Child Je
sus was received into the world.
Men then as now, were either for
Him or against Him. God had only
one attitude, that of loving protec
tion and preparation of His Son for
His ministry.
I. Christ in the World of Men.
The world of today is far differ
ent from that of the first century,
but the difference is all on the out
side. Almost breath taking have
been the developments of modern
civilization, but these have not
changed the heart of man. He still
fears and hates and fights and sins.
His attitude toward Christ is un
changed. There are still only two
classes of people in the world—those
who have received Christ and are
saved, and those who have rejected
Him and are lost.
1. Against Christ.
How do men show their rejection
of God’s Son? Just as they did at
His birth, by: a. Fear. Herod was
afraid lest the coming of this on* j
should result in the loss of his ill
gotten gains. His anger and fear
made all Jerusalem afraid, b. In
difference. When the Wise Men
asked where Christ was to be bom,
the priests and scribes knew exactly
where to find the facts in the Holy
Scriptures, but having done so, they
relapsed into utter indifference.
They had no interest in the fulfill
ment of the prophecy, c. Hatred.
Herod poured out the violence of his
heart by killing the first-born. He
was the first of many who have raged
against the Christ in futile anger,
d. Sorrow. The tears of the mothers
of Jerusalem but foreshadowed the
weeping and wailing which charac
terizes Christ-rejection both in time
and eternity.
2. For Christ.
Thanks be to God, there were
those in that day who were for Christ
and, like those who follow Him to
day, they showed; a. Spirituality.
Men have marveled that the Magi
knew of the birth of Christ. They
must have studied the prophecies of
the Word and been responsive to the
teaching and moving of the Holy
Spirit. Can we say ns much for
ourselves? b. Interest. Not content
to know and to marvel, they shamed
the priests of Israel by their per
sistent interest in this great thing
which had come to pass. c. Love.
They brought themselves in worship
and they brought rich gifts from
their treasures. You can give with
out loving, but you cannot love with
out giving, d Action. They came.
They persisted until they found the
Christ. Then they listened to God
and protected His Son by not re
turning to Herod.
11. Christ in God’s World.
Men had brought sin and ruin into
the world. They had rejected His
Son, but God still ruled and we see
Him protecting, preparing, and ful
filling prophecy through His Son.
1. Protecting. Men may hate and
seek to destroy God’s Son. Satan
may inspire them with ingenuity and
cunning, but see how the Eternal
One speaks to Joseph in dreams,
how He prepares a place of rsfuge
in Egypt and ultimately in Naza
reth, where the boy Jesus may in
crease in wisdom and stature and
favor with God and man.
2. Preparing. God knows of the
days of public ministry which are
ahead and above all, of that day
when on Golgotha's hill Christ Was,
in His own body, to prepare salva
tion for you and for me. God is not
taken by surprise. He moves for
ward to (he completion of His plan
with the stately tread of eternity,
3. Fulfilling. God also sees to it
that prophecy is fulfilled. We read
in versos 15 and 23, "that it might
be fulfilled" and in verse 17, "then
was fulfilled.” God’s Word is always
sure, for He makes it so. His in
finite and eternal faithfulness guar
antees the fulfillment of every proph
ecy, yes, and of every promise of
[ His Holy Word.
Progress of Mankind
In my youth, looking at this man
and that, I marvelled that humanity
I had made so little progress. Now,
looking at man in the multitude, I
j marvel that they have advanced so
| far.—George Gissing.

STRANGE RELIGIONS
By PAUL MUSE
“Many men of many minds.”
Such is one description of the
world of people of which we are
a part. This diversity of mind
is the source of many strange
religious beliefs. There are peo
ple in the world who hold that
there are a great many gods—
some of these deities being op
posed to each other. Among the
savages of the South Sea Islands
seme tribes were found who had
the idea that God was the master
man-eater of the universe.
We need not go away from
i home, however, to discover some
very “strange religions.” They
are right here among us, so
called Christian religions, that
hold some most peculiar be
liefs. Some of these follow cer
tain practices that are strange to
most of us. In their regular re
ligious services, or exercises,they
go through with most unusual
processes. Some of them, as
part of their religious expres
sion, will dance, jump up and
down wildly,gesticulate frantical
ly, roll over and over on the
ground or floor, and in many
curious ways express themselves
religiously.
Hut the strangest of all
strange religions the writer has
ever met with, or heard about,
is that of the man or woman who
professes to be a Christian; who
actually joined some church
once, taking its vows; who want
their names to remain on the
church roll; who will fall out
with the preacher and the
church if they are not visited
regularly-religionists who would
use the church but who never
seem to have a thought of the
church using them. Some people
will live in a community for
years and never put their mem
bership in the church of the com
munity. Some members seldom
if ever go to church, never serve
the church in any way. This is
a strange sort of religion. Such
people Jesus described as those
who draw near to Him with their
lips, but their hearts are far
from Him.
The family milk cow can not
maintain her health and produce
milk unless she is given proper
feeeds to do the job.
A purebred boar will pay divi
dends, regardless of price of
pork, by improving the grade of
hogs marketed.
Many Georgia farmers wh o
have been using Austrian winter
peas or vetch have doubled or
trippled their yields per acre.
Austrian winter peas and
vetch should be seeded the latter
part of September or the first
part of October after a good
rain.
Australia Once Island Group
The name Australia was first ap
plied to a group of South sea islands.
Bubbles Scare Man-Eaters
Man-eating fish can be frightened
away by bubbles, according to an
underseas explorer.
Injury to Lend Man Money
“It is sometimes an injury to a
man to lend him money,” said Hi
Ho, the sage of Chinatown, “but my
friends have a most Christian way
of forgiving injuries.”
