| Hawkinsville will never forget the
day
i They journeyed up to Perry to
play.
! It was in the year of ’53
I The tournament was between the
schools of Class B.
Now Hawkinsville had played some
mighty fine ball,
They had even made the Green
Wave fall.
Now just one more they had to
win,
Or wait till next year and try it
again.
The Panthers were set for the
Devils that night
And the Devils put up a real good
fight.
With less than three minutes to
Play,
Hawkinsville knew they had had
their day.
I think they were ready to throw
in the towel,
’Cause a man just shot named
Billy Pcrtvell.

Living Alert
Lesson for March 8, 1953
WHAT is this parable of the
“foolish virgins” all about?
Dr. Wehrli of Eden Seminary
makes a simple straightforward
suggestion. The story has to do
with amergency, the unexpected
and how to meet it. If everything
had gone according to plan, the
foolish virgins would not have been
in trouble. They had all the oil
they thought they would need.
When they set out, it was tha
wise virgins who looked foolish.
Why carry those extra flasks of
oil? Wasn’t it enough to carry a
lamp without being bothered with
oil besides? But when the hours
wore on and on, those extra flasks
did not look so foolish. The wise I
virgins were ready for the unex
pected; the foolish were not.

Life’s Emergencies
If the future were as plain to
us as the past, then (we think)
life might be eas-
ier. But that is
not the way life
goes. There is 4 IH||
much we can m
count on; other- ;|P
wise there would m yJfcu'.JPß
never be any use B
in making any
kind of plans.
But there also KggSJp Sm
will be things
ahead we don’t Dr- Foreman
count on. Disease or death may
enter the home unannounced.
Temptation may lift its ugly head
among the flowers of our happi
ness. The person who goes through
life prepared only for what he i
expects, will find himself in the
dark. Only by being prepared for
what we don’t expect, can we
rise to life’s emergencies.
But how can we prepare for
what we don’t expect? Os course
we can’t prepare in detail for the
unforeseen. What we can manage
to have is a reservoir of strength;
for physical emergencies reserves
of health; for moral emergencies,
reserves of character; for spiritual
emergencies, reserves of faith'.''

The Unexpected Is The Test
When there is a big fire, or some
extraordinary disaster like a
bombing or an explosion, the po
lice of a great city will send re
serves to Jhe stricken area to
guard against looters. Now as Dr. I
Webrli says, the police aren’t spe- j
ciaiiy worried about ordinary
crimln*is.
But the people who do the loot
ing at fires are the ordinary peo
ple, who in ordinary situations
wouldn’t think of stealing. They
arf honest enough for all routine
situttions. They would not think
of breaking a door down in order i
to steal. But when a fire or an
earthquake opens the door, and 1
the lights go out, then these “hon
est” people turn into thieves. They
don’t have the reserves of char
acter to carry them through the
moral emergency.
Sometimes again the emergency |
will be an opportunity. When an I
important position falls vacant,
who is chosen to fill it? The man
who is ready for it. But who is
ready for the bigger job? The man
who worked harder than he need
ed to on the smaller job; the man
| who learned more than he had to
| know to hold down the smaller
| job. If a man isn’t ready for a
j bigger job than he has, he isn’t
likely ever to get*his chance at
it when the bigger one is open.

On The Alert
Three pieces of advice can be
given to those who wish to live
on the alert. One is: Keep phys
ically fit. That may sound too ob
vious, but it is not, as any doc
tor could tell you. If your health
breaks down you are stopped in
your tracks no matter what your
work may be. Whether you aim to
be a missionary, a farmer or a
governor, you are going to need
all the health you can have. Don’t
cut down your body’s efficiency by
the use of liquor, drugs, overeat
ing, undersleeping or what not.
The same can be said of the
second point: Keep mentally fit.
Keep your mind a bit sharper than
it needs to be right now, sharp
enough for the unlooked-for oppor
' tunity or problem or responsi
:( bility.
|> Again it is needless to say that j
' the use of alcohol is one of the I
j commonest enemies of mental fit
ness.
And finally: keep spiritually fit.
The Holy Spirit is no substitute
i for your own hard and careful
j thinking; but the closer you live
to the God who is Lord of both
I today and tomorrow, the more
j ready you are going to be for
whatever he may send.

By VENLA RADLEY
We spent two pretty hectic nights
in Albuquerque. And we couldn’t
blame it all on the weather this
time. No rain, no snow, but there
was a 30 mile-an-hour wind driv
ing cutting bits of desert sand. By
dark, the wind was cold, near
freezing.
• We got settled early in our over
night cottage and decided to take
in the movie. Everybody else had
the same idea. We had to sit in the
balcony, but it was a nice new
theatre so we didn’t mind at all.
Didn’t mind, that is, until my 5-
year-old nephew got up out of his
1 seat, walked down the aisle and
j dropped his jumbo drink cup over
the balcony.
His Daddy and Mama gasped in
astonishment. Daddy got Junior
and set him down hard in his seat.
We all hunched down as incon
spicuous as possible and waited
for the manager to seek us out.
But nothing happened. We decided
later it was the first time Junior
had been up in a balcony and he
just couldn’t resist the urge.
The second night in Albuquerque
we went to see the Sonja Henie Ice
: show. We had reserved seats but
didn’t have anything else to do, so
went early. What a mistake that
was. Our seats were directly under
a huge blower that blew ice cold
air down on our heads. Other peo
: pie were sitting around freezing or
leaving. Brother-in-law called to
the usherette and told her they
would have to turn that thing off
or give us other seats. She was
quick to reply with, “They have to
keep the ice frozen. As soon as the
show starts they’ll turn it off.”
We thought that over and argued
among ourselves that it didn’t
make sense. We went back to the
lobby to get warm. I saw a man
rushing around with an authorita
tive air. He was coming our way
through tiie crowd. I grabed his
elbow and told him about the
frigid air on our heads.
“Why, that’s a heater,” he said.
“There’s supposed to be hot air

coming out of there.” So he pro
ceeds to see if we know what we’re
talking about as we follow him to
our seats. “That’s strange,” he
said, as he stood in the icy blast,
“that’s a heater.”
He promised to get a mechanic

a couple of minutes the big blow

asked him what he had to do to
accomplish such a feat. “I simply i

Five times she was applauded back ,
