MARCH 30 IS DOCTORS' DAY
Doctor’s Day, March 30, the
day that famous Georgian, Dr.
Crawford W. Long, first used
ether anesthesia in surgery, has
been observed in Georgia sine
-1933 to honor the medical pro
fession. Its observance should
include acts of kindness, gifts, or
tributes for the family physician.
Perry is very fortunate in hav
ing two fine doctors, Dr. A. G.
Hendrick and Dr. J. L. Galle
more. These highly competent
• physicians work day and night
ministering to the medical needs
of the people of Perry and
Houston county. On this day,
March 30, it is the privilege of
the patients and friends of these
doctors to express appreciation
for their services.
It is with pleasure that the
editor of the Home Journal pays
tribute to the two gentlemen
who through skill and knowledge
and outstanding moral qualities
minister to this community as
practicing physicians.
In further recognition of Doc
tor’s Day the following poem,
author unknown, is published:
“Another day has come around
A day with golden memories
bound
Within our Book of Memory-
Treasured by us ’Twill ever b>.
“Doctors’ Day has rolled
around,
Observed abroad and in our
town.
A day we all to doctors give.
God bless them all: long may
they live.
“The ;vay is hard; the road is
long,
And oft there’s great need of
a song;
But out somewhere, in a lonely
heart
He’s done his best, a heroic
part.
“So when again on the crowded
street,
Your doctor you should chance
to meet,
Just let him know you’ll never
forget
* That for a life, you a e in lis
debt.
And don’t you think he won’
square his chin,
Go ahead for tne h pe yi u
have just put in
Just a word, a flower, a message
send
As onward through life ih ir
way they wend.”
We think the idea of working
out the peace plans before the
end of the war a good one.
Plans already ma d e can be
changed, if conditions warrant.
Being made in advance they per
mit more thought and study and
an opportunity to patch up the
low spots.

THE AUTHOR AND PERFECXER
OF OUR FAITH
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 27:62 2f1:9.
GOLDEN TEXT—Let us run with pa- |
tlence the race that is set before us, looking
unto Jesus the author and perfectcr of our |
faith.—Hebrews 12:1, 2.
Christianity is a resurrection faith!
How good it is to recall that, in this
troubled year of 1945, even as we
share once more the spiritual in
spiration of Easter Sunday.
Today we recall that the loving
hands of His friends and followers
had given themselves in what they
thought was to be their final act of
devotion to their Lord. His body
had been tenderly laid in Joseph’s
tomb and the great stone rolled in
place at its door.
But even as some were kind and
loving, there were others who were
so relentless in their hatred that
they pursued Christ even beyond the
grave.
I. The Hatred of Christ’s Enemies
(27:62-66).
We sometimes wonder at the bit
terness of the enemies of Christian
ity in our day. Had we given more
earnest heed to the Bible story we
should have known that it was so
from the very beginning.
The wicked men who brought
about the crucifixion of Jesus were
not content to let Him rest in His
grave. They had lusted after His
life and they had taken that, but
even as He lay silent in the tomb,
the priests and the Pharisees came
to Pilate and called Him “that de
ceiver” (v. 63) and demanded a spe
cial guard.
They feared that His disciples
would perpetrate a fraud, and after
stealing the body declare that He
was risen. Wicked and deceitful
hearts can imagine all sorts of
treachery on the part of others.
The hatred of unbelievers toward
Christ and toward His followers
knows no stopping place. In civil
ized lands and among cultured peo
ple it operates under a cloak of re
spectability, but it is nonetheless
bitter and relentless in its pursuit of
Him and of His church.
11. The Victory of Christ (28:1-6).
Victory and praise should be the
keynote of Christianity, Why should
we be doleful and sad? Our Lord
has come back victorious from the
grave! We may be glad and sing
even in the midst of earth’s sor
rows and distresses. Let praise be
the employ of our lips constantly
ns we worship Him and work for
Him.
The picture that greeted the sur-
I prised eyes of the two women as
j they came to. the grave, as it began
[ to dawn on the first day of the week,
was one resplendent with the glory
and majesty of God. The earth
quaked as the lightning flashed. The
angel of the Lord broke through the
supposedly unbreakable seal of
i Rome and rolled back the stone
j which was to have permanently
' closed the door to the tomb.
This was done, not to release
Christ—for He had already gone, no
grave could hold Him—but that men
might see the empty grave and know
that He was risen. Other religions
keep the graves of their founders.
Christianity points to an empty
I tomb.
To the foes of Christ represented
by the keepers, the coming of the
| angel and the revelation of the pow
; er of God brought absolute discom-
I fiture. That is still true. Men will
argue with theology, church meth
ods, even Christian profession, but
when they see the power of God re
vealed, they can only be “as dead
men.”
To the friends of Christ, the angel
brought comfort and assurance.
Their fears were assuaged by his
word of comfort, and then their faith
was revived by the assurance that
1 Christ was risen. The resurrection
declares that He is the Son of God
with power, the Saviour of the
world.
111. The Joy of Christ’s Disciples
(28:7-9).
The followers of Christ had their
j share of fear and unbelief, but it
| was quickly overcome by joy and
| assurance as they knew that their
| Lord was risen.
The note of great joy is highly
appropriate on Easter Sunday, but
| just as proper on every Sunday—
yes, every day of the Christian’s
life. He is risen from the dead!
That settles all questions about His
deity. His power, His salvation. It
meets the problems of our lives with
an unfailing word of confidence and
joy.
Be sure to note that such good i
1 news must not be kept to ourselves.
; We should emulate the zeal of the
disciples, who "departed quickly” to
make it known to their families and
friends. The story of the victorious
Saviour is still unknown to many
thousands—possibly we should say
j millions. Let someone depart quick
ly to tell them of Jesus. And don’t
forget to ask yourself, “Should that
i someone be me?”
Jesus met them on the way with
a greeting of peace. He loves to
: fellowship with His people as they go
on His errands. You will fltid Him
there awaiting your coming.
