HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL 1 Published Weekly at Perry, Ga. JOHN L. HODGES, Publisher. I RUBY C. HODGES, Editor. Official Orpan of Houston County and City of Perry. Subscription, $1.50 per year. Entered at the Post Office in Perry, as Mail Matter of Second Class. You can learn a lot from at tempting to teach others. 0 One of the easiest things in the world to find is an excuse. 0 When a person has cold feet its either from cold weather —or i hot air. 0 Keeping at it is still one of the vital rules of success. U A good law is the one which applies to the other feilow. 0 You can get most anything oil the average farm except the mortgage. 0 Words have been known to fail a man, but very seldom do they fail a woman. 0 If there were only shoulder pads for men who have to shoulder the responsibility! u The trouble about a two-faced j person is that you never know which face he is wearing. 0 Utopia must be the place where the milk of human kind ness never gets sour. o Pleasant advice is usually the kind one receives without hav ing to pay for it. 0 The weather is uncontrollable, or at least a dictator has never tried to regulate it. Because of greatly increased responsibilities at h o m e and abroad, the American Red Cross this year appeals for a great many more members. Last year the Red Cross emblem of mercy waved at the scene of 157 dis asters in this country, bringing assistance to nearly 130,000 suf ferers. Join fluring Roll Call this year, Nov. 11 through 30, and keep your Red Cress ready. SEE THE FARMER FILM This month’s March of Time, entitled “Uncle Sam--The Fann er,” directs its attention to tin U. S. scene and tells a dramat c film story of the life, work am; hopes and problems of the million Americans today livin; on 6 million U. S farms. Whether in war or peace, tlu March of Time points out, no job of Government is more impor tant than conservation of the na tion’s wealth of manpower and natural resources. T h e nm shows in detail how the 11, t Department of Agriculture today is carrying out its gigantic task of preserving and improving tin billion acres of fertile soil that comprise this country’s greates single asset. Economists agree that U. S. agriculture has been a major na tional problem chiefly because ol the mistakes of farmers a n d their Government 25 years ago, during the First World War. I The March of Time illustrates in] vivid pictorial scenes the wide : spread ravages of soil erosion j caused by over-planting, floods and dust storms that have car-' ried away billions of tons of fer-! tile top soil and left oidy desert! wasteland. The film focuses attention cnl the familiar "county agent” upon whom Uucle Sam relies most of all to spread the doc trine of sound forming. In filming “Uncle Sam-The Farmer,” the March of Time cameraman went to farms, great and small throughout the entire country. Their story of the 321 million Americans who make up the nation’s farming popula tion is an up-to-the minute film of special interest and impor tance to every man and woman in America today. Every farmer and those inter ested in his welfare, w h i c h should include everybody, should see this film, which is to be shown in Perry today, Nov. 16. 1 [ g—?

WARNINGS AND PROMISES LESSON TEXT—Matthew T:M4. GOLDEN TEXT—And as ye would that men should do to you. do ye also to them likewise.—Luke 6:31. “How to Win Friends and Influ ence People” may be worthwhile to study, unless it is done from a pure ly selfish desire to be popular so j that one may make more money ; 1 and get on in the world. Everyone j should desire to make more friends and better friends, and the Chris tian in making friends should make them for his Lord as well as for himself. Actually the best of the rules and suggestions offered on this j subject are already an integral part ■ of Christian conduct as revealed in the Word of God. I. Avoid Judgment (vv. 1-5). By not judging others censoriously we escape such judgment of our selves both by God and by our fel- \ low man. The admonition, “Judge not,” obviously docs not mean that we are not to exercise our God given ability to discern between good and evil, nor does it mean that we are to stand silent in the pres ence of wrongdoing. Verse 6 in this very chapter calls for the use of judgment (see also I Thess. 5:21). In all such judgment we are to avoid an unkind spirit and the hy- ] pocrisy described in verses 3 to 5. j We are to be certain that our own j i lives are above reproach regarding j that which we condemn (v, 5). The none too common exercise of cor- . reeling our own faults will serve a salutary twofold purpose of improv- | ing ourselves and of making us too busy to find fault with others. 11. Be Reverent (v. 6). While we are not to judge oth ers, we are not to go to the opposite extreme of being so lenient in our attitude that we permit ungodly men to profane and trample down sacred things. This does not mean, as some would have us believe, that we are not to present the gospel to the low- j est of sinners; for example, to a drunkard. Only thus can such an individual be saved. But it does mean that in dealing with holy things we are not only to be rev erent ourselves, but we are to be careful that we do not permit wick ed men to misuse and to profane the holy things of God. 111. Pray In Faith (vv. 7-11). Here is a straightforward prom ise from the lips of our Lord Him self, assuring us that prayer will be answered. It seems that He must have foreknown that some would feel that the promise was too good to be true, so He stated it in three fold form and repeated it twice. Why not believe It, act on it, and re ceive the answer? Observe that there is to be im portunity in prayer, we are to seek if we would find. “Our Lord does not guarantee to us anything at first asking. God does not open His treas ury to a passing bugle-call or the tap of a careless hand which just touches the door and then passes on. Prayer is not a momentary wish or a transitory whim. It is the ut terance of a confirmed and persist ent and unwearying longing. If you want h prayer answered, you must go on praying” (J. G. Greenhough). We have included the so-called Golden Rule under this section be cause the word “therefore” links it with that which goes before. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan aptly says, “If we omit the ‘therefore,’ we cannot obey the verse. If we retain the ‘therefore,’ and are driven to ask, to seek, to knock, and to know that the Listener to the asking, to the seeking, to the knocking, is our Fa ther, then the rule is golden with heaven’s own light, but in no other way." The Golden Rule is really the ful fillment of the law and the proph ets, but in the light of Christ’s glo ry it is also a great principle of Christian love and consideration. IV. Walk in the Narrow Wav (vv. j 13, 14). The road to heaven is a narrow | way because it is built to carry us 1 through the quicksands of this world |to a glorious consummation. It is I not a dismal road, for it is lighted I by God's glory; and it is not a lone | some road (even though few go that way), because Jesus walks with us. The road to destruction is broad. The entrance is easy; there is much company, but one soon finds that the company is distasteful—just fellow sinners. Jesus is not going that way. The best people, God's people, are going the other way. The road leads into all kinds of by-ways where pit falls abound. The earthly pleas ures one thought to enjoy have, as Maclaren puts it, “a strange knack of losing their charm and at the same time increasing their hold.” Full of Grace I will neither be content with what measure of grace I have, nor im patient of God's delay; but every day I will endeavor to have one drop added to the rest; so my last day shall fill up my vessel to the brim.— 1 Joseph Hall. : NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND | GEORGIA, Houston County.
