THEY TOOK TRIP
ON THE OCEAN
Jane Rambo Preaches a Ser
mon on the Strength of
the Voyage.
(Continued from last issue.)
As soon as supper was over we
went down to the landing to watch
the boats an see the tide go out. The
oshean by munelight is the grandest
sight I ever seed, an hit made me fer
git home an friends an keers for the
time bein, even fergittin my beloved
pardner fer the first time, skeercely,
sense we left, an I wondered at the
strange things that air to be seed on
the other side; strange races uv men
and wimmen, climates, siles, habits
an customs that would be curriuser
than anything ever seed in Georgia.
Thar was a boat going out to some
iland fifteen miles frum the earth
loaded with towerists to enjoy the
munelight, so we sed to ourselves,
ses we, we mought as well spend our
money for travelin as enything, so
we embarked. In a few minits the
grate ship begin to trimble an take
long breaths, tryin to git up strength
fer the jerny I spose, gin a few hoarse
yells an sot off, jest' glidin out on the
bussum of the Atlantic as onconsarn
ed as my pekin duck would takin a
swim in the fish pond. What a
change frum ther feelins I had pre
viously an before hand ! Gradjuly
we got further and further frum the
land an the lights on ther shore got
dimmer an dimmer till by an by all
sight uv earthly things was swallow
up an nuthin but waves an then some
more waves could be seed, while the
ship dashed along at several nets, but
I dont know for sartin jest how
many, but I seed sum salers a tyin
’em in the riggin. Part uv the time
the waves run high, coverin the deck
with spray, tossin us all up an then
ther next minit we would sink be
neath ther surface uv the water an
the masts would lunge farrads jest
iike the rest uv us all done.
And under us was the grate silent
graveyard whar thousands have gone
down surrounded by the riches of
that lost word, with only the reflec
tion of relatives an friends to mark
their last restin place. Only a few
planks between us and the hereafter
wus a consolation that I didn’t rel
ish, an set my thoughts above the
trifling things uv this world, an I
wuld a gin a settin uv leghorn hen’s
aigs to a bin back to hum, but as I
looked out acrost the foamin billers
Faith ses to me, “Why should you be
afraid sense you sail on God’s mercy
on the land as well as the see, haint
thar as much danger an as frail pro
tection tu life in youre. hum as enny
whar’s else?” Then the same voice,
whispers agin, “Haint you out on an
errend uv duty tu your family, and
why should you git skeered at enny
thing while you air doin youre duty,”
so I thinkes tu myself, I must do my
duty, stands tu resun I must, and I
braved the oshean fer duty’s sake on
one side an ther fourcastle on ther
other side, whatever that may be,
while the rnune in all her glory look
ed out from her station to give light
to the wayward steps on see as on the
earth. Butiful thought, haint it ?
Them thoughts that went in an out
uv my mind while standin thar has
bin fude fer reflection many a time
sense. I culdn’t help but compare
that seen with the ways uv the wurld
—all a rollin an sloshin, castin up
drifwood here an thar on the sands
uv honesty an industry; bringin off
others to float hither an thither till
TWO HOME MEN FOR
INSTITUTE EXPERTS
W. F. Brown and A. J. McCoy
Will Have Charge of Teach
ers' Institute on June 18th.
The county board of education met
here Wednesday and elected Prof.
W. F. Brown, of Buford, and Prof.
A. J. McCoy, of Norcross, as experts.
The teachers’ institute will be held
the third week in June, beginning
the 18th, which will embrace the
week in which the examinations are
held.
The two are well known teachers
of Gwinnett and have taken high
stands in the educational circles of
the county.
The board approved the teachers’
accounts and heard a good many
citizens who appeared before them
relative to the locations of different
‘schools.
At the flethodist Church.
Dr. J. F. Mixon preached an able
sermon last Sunday morning at the
Methodist church from the text
found in Genesis 8:14. The minister
called attention to the many views
held as to what form the serpent
possessed before it beguiled Eve into
eating the forbidden fruit, and pic
tured in strong language the abject
ness of the tempter after God had
visited His curse upon it. Satan’s
agents never escape unpunished, and
as we are taught that the serpent
was more subtle than any beast of
the field the natural conclusion is
that its fall was the more pronounced,
and this holds good today—he who
has superior advantages, and sins
against enlightenment, will meet a
severer punishment. Our opportu
nities increase our responsibilities,
and where much is given much will
be required.
Rev. Howard Crumley, agent of
the Orphans’ Home at Decatur,
preached to an attentive audience at
night, and at the conclusion of the
service was given a nice contribu
tion for the cause he represents.
they git so steeped in sin that they
can no longer float on the surface
with civilized people an they sink
never to rise agin. I’ve hearn uv
sich.
But on the oshean uv life we have
churches fer our lighthouses, an
preachers fer the fog horns tu sound
the warnin (an sum of ’em can yell
jest like them that’s placed jest off
the bars below Jacsunville) an stid
uv makin the wrecked feel welcom,
drives ’em away tu perish in ther
tempest by the awful picter an the
example they set afore ’em.
But after all, to have a home that
haint driftin about frum one place to
anuther is the greatest cumfort that
can be gin me in this wurld; right
here whar the good ole hills rise in
the landskape, gittin her new spring
clothes on, after the chillin breaths
uv winter has ceased, is like gittin
back to youre trends an luved ones
after bein out in the chill of the
strange wurld. That’s what I told
Eli when we got home frum our voy
age, an as I smuthed his shaggy
whiskers an looked again into that
air homely face uv his’n an realized
that a man’s worth is not measured
by the steelyards, I couldn’t help
but weep on my handkercheef an
sing that ole familler him:
“Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in constant love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like unto that above.”
Jane Rambo.
