Cannon’s Store Phone 9 Conyers, Georgia THE ROCKDALE RFAUKU, i.uWYKRS, GEORGIA LINES 1 J. L. D. Jf spring came but once in a cen tury. instead of once u year, or burst forth with tbe sound of an earth iiunke, , ,nnd not in silence,” wrote I-ongfeilow, "what wonder and exi>ee tat Inn there would be in all hearts to behold the miraculous change!” Hut to people who think and feel, the vernal renewal of the pulse of life <an nev r become commonplace. To uch it is like taking up again a be-' I loved book from which they have been parted for a year. April was called by the Anglo-Sax j ins "Hustre month" for it was in this I month they held a joyful festival in | honor of Kastre.-their goddess of light ! and spring. It seems divinely appro priate that the culminating festival of the Christian religion should come in i the spring time, and oftenest in April. | For spring is the age-old prophecy and I ymbol of life’s victory over seeming (hath and dissolution. It is the season when miracles j abound. If we will but open our eyes we shall see not one burning bush, but every hillside, forest and meadow I ablaze with the presence of God. How J the vital germ leaps at the caress of j the rain and the kiss of the sun iuto a perfect expression of parental like-* ness, is to us the mystery of mysteries. But the greatest wonder of Spring is that it should stir us to wonder at all. If. indeed, we are not created in "the likeness of Him that made us,” why should we be more conscious of its mystery and significance than the clod or stone? It is because we pos sess in some degree attributes of the Divine Mind that we are able to won der at His Marvelous handiwork. To eyes that see, and ears that hear, all heaven and earth now appear ar rayed in bright garments to speak and (omfort those who mourn at empty sepulchres. “There is no unbelief; Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod, And waits to see it push away the clod; Trusts in God.” 1 have been wondering lately just what is the matter with some of us Americans, and I have been wonder ing if maybe that isn’t it: Wonder ing. There is more wondering going on now than has been since the time when Deacon Jones fell in the mash and everybody wondered how he got there. If someone buys a car or builds a house, we wonder how he got the mon ey ; if someone gets married we won tier why and wonder how it will turn out. If a man makes a success we wonder how he did it, and wonder if it wasn’t just luck ; and wonder if he is as well off as he says he is, and wonder if he won't go broke some day. I wonder if any of our wonder ings changes the result any, and won der if work wouldn’t? If to love our enemies is asking too much of us let’s compromise by forget ting them. County Schools Closes Friday Every county school in Rockdale county will close up Friday of this week on account of no funds to pay expenses. If everything closed down as promptly as our educational insti tutions do when they are broke, there would be several reorganizations around here |>eriodieally. We even manage to keep our automobiles gass ed up when broke. Parents take for granted that somebody else must keep the schools ojien or close them and all they have to do is furnish the pu pils. Not much inducement for peo ple to move to Rockdale. Itjjs easy to unit. This advanced closing will kill the county meet announced by Super intendent Mrs. King this week. With a consolidated system, we would have enough money to operate upon a nine .months basis and eliminate these six months terms. CITATION Dismission from Administration GEORGIA, Rockdale County.
