SCRAP METAL DRIVE
The nation-wide campaign to
get in 15 million tons of scrap
metal between now and Dec. 2 is
on. Georgia’s quota is 155,000.
Georgia has taken a leading
part in all phases of war work.
Last year we turned in mon
than our quota of scrap. This
year it will be more difficult, and
we will have to dig deeper but
we must not fail. Military suc
cesses require tremendous quan
tities of war implements, and
we must equip our fighting fore
es to go on to greater military
objectives. Farmers and fac
tory workers, business leaders,
houst wives and school children
of th s section are already on the
job.
Don’t wait for someone to call
you. Get in touch with C. P.
Gray, county salvage chairman,
and do your part. Report the
number of pounds of scrap metal
yen sell in November to Mr.
Gray.
Houston county’s drive is be
ing conducted in November. Get
busy now collecting scrap iron
and metals fur the war effort.
Remember that this is every
body’s war!
The women of Houston county
are urged to salvage waste fats
and tin cans for use in tne gov
ernment program.
Cupt. Eddie Rickenbacker, air
ace of World War 1, urges
doubled efforts in the scrap met
al drive. He says:
“Having visited all the battle
fronts throughout the world, in
cluding Russia, it is evident to
me that the ever-increasing de
mand for munitions and wa r
weapons will bring about a de
mand for scrap iron and steel
during the balance of 11)13 and
1944 unparalled in the history ( f
any nation, . . . We in Americ
on ilu* home front have millions
of tons of scrap iron and steel
lying around idle and being dis
sipated by the elements. . . Jf
every man, woman a n d child
over ten years of age gave only
one hour of their time to this
salvage drive there would be
millions of tons available for ilu
protection of our lighting m ;n,”

THE SACREDNESS OF
HUMAN LIFE
LESSON TEXT— Exodu* 20:13; Matthew
' 5:21-28. 38-45.
GOLDEN TEXT—Whosoever hateth hi*
, brother 1* a murderer.—l John 3:13.
Human life is sacred—and there
is a very important reason why that
, is true. It is not because of any law
1 of man, but finds its foundation in
the fact that God created man in
1 His own likeness and image. Be
cause that is true, no man has any
right to take the life of another for
any cause except at the direct com
mand of God. Only by the orderly
process of law for the protection of
society and in accordance with the
I Word of God may there be any such
| action by man toward man.
Both of these truths are declared
in Scripture in God's covenant with
Noah (Gen. 9:5, 6), which was made
possibly a thousand years before the
Ten Commandments were given to
Moses.
One cannot deny that human life
is held rather cheaply in many
; places today. War helps to create
that attitude on the part of nations
which makes them count boys and
girls, yes, mere babies, as "war ma
terial.”
But not only in war is life care
lessly destroyed. We decry the
“slaughter of innocents” on the
highway, unnecessary death in in
dustry, yes, even in the home.
I. The Prohibition of Murder
! (Exod. 20:13).
The word “kill” in this command
ment is one which means a violent
and unauthorized taking of life, and
is therefore more properly translat
ed “murder.”
Not all killing is murder. A man
may kill another entirely accidental
j ly, or he may be the duly consti
tuted legal officer carrying out the
I law of the land in taking the life of
one who has forfeited his right to
live because he has slain another.
There is also the right of self
defense, be it individual or collec
tive as in war. But these are the
only exceptions; let us not attempt
• to justify any other.
Murder is more prevalent than
most of us suppose. Some years
ago we were told that there was a
murder every forty minutes in our
land. With the general increase of
crime, and of drunkenness (which
i so often incites murder), the cur
rent figures would probably show an
increase.
Do not forget the deaths, the de-
I struction of life, by avoidable auto
mobile accidents. Some of these
. were really murder because the one
responsible drove with defective
brakes, dangerous tires, or while he
was intoxicated. Add to these the
deaths in industry caused by failure
to provide proper safeguards or
i healthy working conditions, and by
the exploitation of child labor, and
we say that we should cry aloud,
“Thou shall do no murder.”
H. The Provocation to Murder
(Matt. 5:21.22).
Murder finds its provoking cause
in the heart of man. Our Lord was
concerned about correcting the de
sires rather than to apprehend the
offender after the act had been com
mitted. It is the better way, and
the more effective one.
In this matter of murder, Jesus
cut right through the outward as
pects of the matter and pointed out
that an angry hatred in the heart is
the root of all murder. If we hate,
we have murder in our hearts. Cir-
I cumstanccs may hinder its fulfill
ment, but the danger is always there
; until we remove the cause.
' Just being angry—calling our
I brother “raca” (the modern equiv
alent of which is “nobody there”),
and calling him “thou fool,” which
classifies him as “morally worth
less”—these are the three dread
’ ful downward steps to murder. And
; they begin in anger.
May God help those of us who
have strong feelings that we may
not yield them to the devil in such
j anger against our brother!
111. The Prevention of Murder
(Matt. 5:23-26, 38-45).
Prevention with God moans more
than putting up a barrier to keep us
from killing. He deals with the
heart, and thus puts the whole life
right. It is not even a question of
how we may feel against our broth
er. If he has aught against us we
are to do all we can to win him. He
may be unreasonable, grasping, and
unfair. However, the spirit that will
win him is not that of retaliation or
sullen submission to the inevitable,
but rather a free and willing going
even beyond what is required.
It is clear from other scriptures
that our Lord does not mean that
wicked and unscrupulous men are to
he permitted to defraud and destroy
God s people. At the same time,
we must be careful not to explain
away the heart of our Lord’s inter
pretation of this great command
ment.
Wo who believe in Christ are to
i be in deed as well as word the sons
of our heavenly Father (v. 45). lov
' ing not only those who are kind to
us, but even our enemies.
