VOL. LXVIX. No. 16. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 18. 1940 ESTABLISHED 1870
baptists to begin
REVIVAL APRIL 24
A series of Revival Services
will begin at the Perry Bap
tist Church the night of April
24 and continue ten days. Ser
vices will be held in the morn
ing at 10 o’clock and in the
evening at 8 o’clock.
Rev. L. H. Wright, pastor of
the Tattnall Square Baptist
Church, Macon, will do the
preaching. Rev. Mr. Wright
was here two years ago in a
revival and comes again as one
loved and enjoyed by all who
heard him. P. S. Rowland, of
Macon, Evangelistic Singer of
wide experience will lead the
singing. .
Every one is cordially invit
ed to every service.
The co-operation of the bus
iness men in attendance of the
day services will be greatly ap
preciated. The Church is not
necessarily asking for the clos
ing of the business houses,
though this would not be
amiss, but that a part of the
employes of each firm attend
the services each morning.
The purpose of the meeting
is the spiritual uplift of the
entire community. To this end
the prayers and heart-felt co
operation of the good people
of the town is solicited by Rev.
J. A. Ivey, pastor, and his
members.

hearts.”

I LOYALTY CAMPAIGN
’j RESULTS ARE CITED
Some doubted when it was
suggested, others said, “Any
i program will work if it is
worked; we will try it.” Into
the Loyalty Campaign we
plunged with a bang and the
results were so surprising that
everybody was more than
pleased. We are indeed grate
ful for its origin and for the
| privilege of having had a share
I in seeing it function in our own
midst.
j If figures mean anything, we
have gained much from parti
cipating in the program. Our
general attendance has im
proved some 30% all the way
through, giving us an average
of as many people attending
the preaching services for the
day as enrolled on the resident
membership of our church.
This is one way of looking at
it; however, there are many
other ways in which we have
gained. People have worship
ped God in His house who
have not turned aside to take
this privilege for months or
even years, and, many have
come to know the true spirit
and worth of enlistment serv
ice and fellowship.
However, we feel that the
greater gain has come in that
we have experienced some
thing of true discipleship. We
have gone back to the Jesus
way of doing our work, giving
'ourselves to each other in per
sonal work and out of this has
|come, as for our own church,
a gain in membership of some
9% during these weeks of the
campaign. It has been a great
experience. May it have serv
ed its true purpose of building
loyalty into the hearts of His
people, a loyalty that will con
tinue to express itself for the
Master through His church,
and ever remain a joyous real
ity to those who have found it.
Rev. J. A. Ivey, Pastor.
Perry Baptist Church.
We give this summary of the
Loyalty Campaign in the Metho
dist church through Sunday,
April 14.
Attendance upon morning and
night services improved during
the Campaign. Attendance of
members and visitors upon morn
ing services for the 11 Sundays
has averaged 143. Attendance
for the 11 Sunday night services
has averaged 104. These figures
are based upon cards turned in
and upon counting of the con
gregation. Th e actual record
would run a little higher as we
failed to get a count on the Sun
day night congregations during
the Revival. Interest in the
church and its work has been
* strengthened on the part of
; many of our members. A num
■ ber of people who are not mem
■ bers of any church have become
: regular attendatnts.
* More than 45 of our members
■ who were assigned to teams do
■ not have a record attendance.
* We feel that all of these, with
the exception of two or three,
1 couid have attended some. About
40 of our members will make the
■ Honor Roll, as having not missed
more than 5 services during the
Campaign, if several of these do
not miss a service next Sunday.
The fine attendance has been
an inspiration to us. We deeply
appreciate the work of all Team
Captains and the co-operation of
our members.

LIBRARY NOTES
I
Two of E. Stanley Jones’ books,
“Christ on the Mount” and
“Christ and Human Suffering”
’ are now in our Library, and are
; well worth reading.
’ The first book is a good treat
-5 ment of the Sermon on the
1 Mount and answers and emphat
i ic “Yes” to the question “Is
‘ the Sermon on the Mount practi
; cable in modern Life?”
’ There is no final answer in
; this life to the age old question,
; “Why do the innocent suffer?”
‘ But in “Christ and Human Suf
' fering” Stanley Jones gives the
best answer I have found thus
’ far. He points out, that though
: Christ was innocent, He suffered
more than any of us suffer, and
’ that the Cross itself is the sign
J of God’s heartbreak. The author
' discusses some ways in which we
1 can overcome suffering and
J trouble, and make them a bless
[ ing to our lives. We quote him:
■ “Comfort, then, in the New
Testament sense means strength
' by the companionship of a God
1 who suffers with us. That is
a verile comfort.”
] I highly recommend this book
to all who have had sorrow or
\ serious trouble in their lives.
Rev. Roy Gardner.

GEORGIA HAS LARGE
i NUMBER OF CHICKENS
The 8,528,000 chickens now on
Georgia farms is an increase of
nearly 400,000 or 14 percent over
1939. This is the largest num
ber of poultry ever recorded in
the state.
Little increase, however, was
noted for the United States, with
429.022.000 being reported* com
pared with the all-tirne record of
1 474,997,000 chickens for the na
tion in 1928 at any one time.
I The hatchery business in the
; ' state has expanded rapidly
and the total incubator capaci-j
1 ty has more than doubled in the!
past seven years. Georgia hatch-J
eries now have a capacity of 3,-
347.000 eggs compared to less
than 1,402,000 eggs in 1934.
Not only has Georgia made
'real progress in number of eggs,
; i baby chicks, and chickens pro
-1 duced but also in the quality of
these products, says Arthur Gan
nan, poultryrnan for the Georgia j
Agricultural Extension Service.
There has been definite improve
ment in standard bred flocks
! throughout the state, with a
trend toward small flocks of
good breeding and fewer large
; commercial flocks of a thousand
or more.
1 Poultry ranks as one of Geor
; gia’s major agricultural enter
! prises since 90 percent of all
farms in the state raise chickens,
Mr. Gannon points out. He
states .that the value of poultry
and eggs produced in the state
during the past 15 years has!
ranged from around nine to 22 j
million dollars each year.
