By PEARL HALL BEATY
We walk together, just you and I
Toward the rising sun;
Your tiny hand held close in
mine,
Toward the new day just begun.
Other hands have been tucked
there,
Tiny hands so sweet;
Those others walked beside me
then,
On gay, carefree feet.
They walk before me now,
Young and strong, they lead
the way;
If I hold your hand safe and
secure,
You’ll lead me, too, some day.
It is a privilege sweet and fine,
To hold your hand as we go;
Into your day—my evening—
Yes, little pal, I do love you so.
Well, the rains came! And it
surely did rain! The fields and
gardens are a lovely green; they
are enjoying their fresh drink!
Not long after the rain, Patricia
and I walked down the path be¬
neath the maples and there on
a high limb sat Jake, the crow.
I never saw a more bedraggled
and forlorn bird. Canning goes
forward almost every day. They
fight and howl in Washington
about rising food prices ... I
just go ahead gardening and
canning; and I don’t have to
pay rent, either. Gee, but its
swell.
Just give them a fair trial and
shoot them, is what Earl God¬
win says about the twenty-odd
saboteurs caught in different
parts of our country. Of course,
they must have a fair trail;
otherwise it would be belying
the principles for which we will
undoubtedly 4hoot them. Like
tiny ants, they work steadily
and silently along our shores '
and among our defense plants. 1
It’s going to take a lot of watch¬
ing to hold them down. I wond¬
er what those who were going to
whip the pants off Japan be¬ ;
fore breakfast are doing for
breakfast? What are those doing
that called the Roosevelt ad¬
ministration a war mongering
set up? Guess they have woke
up and are singing a different
tune. That is typical of the A-
merican people. They love peace,
ease, a little bickering and a lot
of pleasure, but when they get
stirred to the bottom and find
out there is a skunk in the wood
pile, just look out!
Mr. J. O. Tittle, of Louisville,
Ky., was a recent guest of rela¬
tives in Dade County. Mr. Tittle
came by the office Tuesday and
“plunked in” enough to pay far
in adavnee. “I get my Dade
County Times every Friday and
is just like a letter from home,”
Mr. Tittle said. Thanks, Mr. Tit¬
tle, and come back to see us.
The best way to win friends
is to refrain from trying to in¬
fluence people.

Lesson for Sunday, July 12, 1942
ADAM AND EVE: TEMPTATION
AND SIN
Genesis 3
How long man remained in¬
nocent and happy in the Gard¬
en of Eden we do not know. But
we do know that one fatal mo¬
ment the tempter invaded that
fair abode bringing “death into
the world and all our woes.”
The commission of the first sin
was followed swiftly by the di¬
vine reckoning with the sinners,
the earliest gospel to them, and
the primal penalty upon them.
Sin Committed
Sin was introduced into Eden
and the earth by Satan through
the serpent then comely in his
unfallen stqie, as yet unhated
by man, and more subtle than
any other beast. He approached
the woman first, not because
she was more deficient or less
responsible or could be made
guiltier than man, but because
she was more impressionable
and could lead man to accept
her choice. The crafty query a-
bout the forbidden tree attract¬
ed Eve instantly, but there was
a tinge of skepticism in it and
she would have done well to
turn unheeding away. But in her
simplicity she listened and un¬
suspectingly she answered. Thus
the conflict with evil against
good began upon earth. For
now emboldened by the atten¬
tion he had won and by the un¬
steadiness in the tone of Eve’s
response, the tempter flatly con¬
tradicted the word of God as to
the penalty of death and charg¬
ed divine jealousy and fraud in
keeping man ignorant and de¬
pendent. Then she who listened
to the tempter looked upon the
forbidden tree and it appealed
to her appetite since it was good
for food, to her sense of the
beautiful for it was a delight to
the eyes, aryl to her thirst after
knowledge since it would make
her wifee. She took and ate of
the forbidden fruit and gave to
Adam and he also ate without
apparent hesitation or remon¬
strance. Both were responsible
and, while a simple act, it was
unmistakable and deliberate
disobedience to God.
Sin Convicted
Guilt followed hard upon the
first sin. In their dearly-bought
knowledge Adam and Eve saw
their nakedness, moral and spir¬
itual far more than any physi¬
cal. With vain inventiveness they
sought to hide themselves from
themselves and God, but fig-leaf
aprons were inadequate. Thus
the scourage of an outraged
conscience was the first lash
that fell upon the world’s first
sinners. But also they were call¬
ed to account by Him whom
they had disobeyed. Discerning
the inevitable approach of the
Lord God, they hid themselves
among the trees of the garden.
But again their hiding was in
vain. God summoned them, and
Adam confessed * unusual fear
for which there could be but one
reason. The first excuse for the
first sin was a miserable at¬
tempt on Adam's part to shift
the responsibility upon Eve. To
the searching question of Jeho¬
vah the woman replied that she
ate because the serpent deceiv¬
ed her. Really the words of Eve
showed a finer spirit and a
keener disciynination than those
of Adam. Both had sinned and
both were guilty before God.
Sin Condemned,
Penalty was the quick sen¬
tence upon the sinners. The sin
of Adam and" Eve spoiled Eden,
Alienated man from God and
incurred the penalty of physi¬
cal and spiritual death. Yet the
Messiah was promised before
penalty was pronounced. The
conflict with evil, though age¬
long and attended with strug¬
gle and with suffering, will ter¬
minate in ultimate triumph of
the good. Thus Mercy arose with
atoning cross instantly and on
the very spot where Justice took
his stand with flaming sword.

Letter to The Editor
Fort Custer, Mich.
July 2, 1942.
Hello Mr. Forester:
Just a word or two about The
Dade County Times you have
been sending me. I sure do en¬
joy getting the paper. I like it
better than the Michigan papers
because it is my home county
paper.
The copy I like best in the
paper is the New Salem News,
but it seems that the reporter
has been laying down on the job
there for the past few weeks.
You are still sending my paper
to Camp Wheeler, Ga., so I wish
you would change the address
so I can get the paper quicker.
Thanks a million for The
Times.
Sincerely yours,
Pvt. Kenneth Moore.
What the future has in store
for you depends on what you
place in store for the future.
Shall die.”—Ezekiel 18:4.
Death follows sin as night fol¬
lows day—death to the body,
death to the moral and spiritual
nature, death to all the good
that is in us, death here and
hereafter.
No sinner alone can escape or
evade personal responsibility for
his own sin. For the evil he does
he cannot blame those around
him, contaminating as they may
be; nor his country, though
steeped in corporate corruption;
nor Adam and Eve, though the
race died in them—nobody any
time, anywhere, except himself.
Yet, “if any man sin, we have
an Advocate with .the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous,” who
is our Savious and our Lord.
From the death that is due, the
soul that sinneth may be saved
through repentence of sin and
faith in Christ our Saviour.
