Prayer For The Week
A Prayer for our Service Men
O God, our Father, we are deep¬
ly concerned for our boys who
are going out to battle. We
would not hold them back. We
want them to face life courage¬
ously and do their full duty. But
our hearts are lonely without
them. We commit them to thee.
Keep them in Thy care. Guard
them by Thy grace. And grant,
we beseech Thee, that because
they have made so great a sac¬
rifice, we may discover how to
build a new sort of world, a
world of freedom and fair play,
a world of happiness and help¬
fulness. We pray in His Name,
through Whom all things are
possible. Amen.—Ryland Knight,

How The Press Stands
IN THE EFFORT to divert at¬
tention from the real issues
of this campaign—which are de¬
cency in government and the
restoration of constitutional de¬
mocracy—Governor Talmadge is
attacking violently and with lit¬
tle regard for the truth the two
daily newspapers of Atlanta.
It is rather interesting that
the worst the Governor can find
to say about the Journal hap¬
pens to be just what his prede¬
cessor in office called us. The
harangues are identical, not only
the words but also the music.
And it isn’t likely that the Tal¬
madge rendition of the Hymn
of Hate will have any more ef¬
fect on the very sensible Geor¬
gia public than did Governor
Rivers’ Abuse and name-calling
are not competent answers to
fact and truth.
But, in attributing his now j
desperately waning fortunes to
the two Atlanta newspapers.
Governor Talmadge is paying
poor tribute to the free and un¬
controllable press of Georgia in
other cities, towns and hamlets.
Atlanta is not a tail which wags!
Georgia; the Atlanta newspap-
ers have no more influence over
'
the Georgia press than can a-
rise from the honesty of the
force of their editorial opinions.;
And how do we find the press
^of Georgia aligning itself in this
campaign The facts are amaz-
ing. Not in 40 years has

Head > 8 Election
Reports coming in ^ from all
sections of the state and state-
made editorially by a
large number of newspapers, in¬
dicate that T. Grady Head, of
Ringgold, Catoosa county, will
be elected Attorney General of
Georgia by a landslide.
Mr. Head, beyond a doubt, is
one of the outstanding lawyers
of North Georgia, and ha%a very
successful practice of over 18
years behind him. He is a form¬
er member of the Georgia House
of Representatives, served as
Mayor of his home town for 10
years and was Georgia’s first
Revenue Commissioner. Mr.
Head’s experience not only
thoroughly qualifies him from a
legal standpoint, but from a
standpoint of state financial
problems as well.
The people of Georgia recog¬
nize the fact that Mr. Head is a
very capable man ... a man
particularly suited for the office
which he aspires, and they are
rallying to his support. This is
not only true in his home and
neighboring counties, but
throughout the entire state.
Mr. Head has many friends in
Dade County, who are very much
interested in his campaign and
are actively supporting him.

The small boy who contribut¬
ed his dime “for the enjoyment
of our soldier boys who are
fighting for our liberties,” is
master John Kirby, son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. Kirby. Mrs. Kirby
is county nurse, in charge of
Dade County health service, and
his father is a band director in

at New Port, R. I., who has been

LESSON
(Lesson for Sunday, August 2)
ABRAM: A PIONEER IN FAITH
11:31 to 12:9; Hebrews
11 : 8-12
Abraham (“exalted father”)
born early in the twentieth
before Christ at the city
Ur in lower Euphrates valley
of Babylon, the seat of an
empire that extended westward
the Mediterranean Sea. Re¬
moving up the valley 500 miles
more, and expecting to go to
where the same lang¬
uage was spoken and other im¬
migrants from Ur had located;
he settled for a time at the city
of Haran which had the same
government, industries, and re¬
ligion as Ur. Thence, after the
death of his father and at the
call of God, he set out, at 75,
in a southwesterly direction
three hundred miles to Canaan
which proved to be the chosen
land. Traversing its full length
with stops at Shechem and
Bethel, he went on to Egypt
which was then under Asiatic
monarch of Zoan near the north
eastern border. Returning to Ca¬
naan, he spent the remainder of
his days in the Land of Promise
dying at 175, the founder of true
religion, the patriarch of a great
people, and the father of the
faithful in all ages.
The Call of Faith
The definite call came to Ab¬
ram. In his native city of Ur
and at Haran the moon-god
was the local deity. At Ur he
received his call which in the
current of Mesopotamian emi¬
gration to the shores of the
Mediterranean carried him and
his father with others to Haran
where, after Terah’s death at
205, it was renewed. It was a
revelation from God which Ab¬
ram could not doubt. It em¬
bodied a command and a prom¬
ise. The command was twofold
—first negetive and then posi¬
tive: Deny and do; sacrifice and
serve; forsake and follow. That
is, on one hand he must give
up country, kindred, household,
business, friends, and future
prospects; and on the other
hand, he must be led blind-fold¬
ed by the Divine Hand to his
future home. The promise in¬
volved fourfold blessing: Bless¬
ing for Abraham in posterity, in
person, and in popularity; bless¬
ing by Abraham to his family,
friends, and fellow men; bless¬
ing around Abram to those who
joined him in human uplift and
world betterment; and blessing
through Abram especially as
progenitor of the Messiah, our
Saviour and Lord.
The Anstver of Faith
The designated country was
found to be Canaan. At first it
lay below the patriarch’s hori¬
zon. Abram did his duty with¬
out knowing his destination. He
risked, or rather rested, every¬
thing on faith in his call—him¬
self, his wife, his nephew, his
servants, his entire substance,
his whole future. As he proceed¬
ed he followed directly the road
to Canaan, and here finally he
encamped in an oak grove near
Shechem in the heart of the
country. And now Jehovah ap¬
peared to him declaring that
this was the Land of Promise.
And, though he was childless
now at seventy-five, he was as¬
sured his decendants should oc¬
cupy as the most beneficient
people on earth. Promptly the
patriarch consecrated the coun¬
try with his altar, establishing
the worship of Jehovah at a
focal point where its influence
should go out to all the world
and down to all the ages.
The directed course lay south¬
ward through the full length of
the chosen land for the chosen
people. Abraham’s second step
was on the mountain between
Bethel and Ai where the sacri¬
ficial altar w-as again erected
and divine worship renewed.
From the mountain the patriarch
proceeded after a time to the
grassy wilds in southern Pales¬
tine where he remained until
driven by famine to the valley
of the Nile.
The divine commendation of

Gold in the Golden Text
“Fear not, Abram: I am thy
shield, and thy exceeding great
reward.” —Genesis 15:1.
God is our shield arming us
for conflict, protecting us from
harm, insuring our safety, se¬
curity, and success .
God is our reward, the Lord
of our lives, the crown of our
effrts, the end of our existence,
the joy of our fellowship, ex¬
ceeding great and good and
glorifying on earth and in heav¬
en.
Why should we fear, even for
one dark moment or in one dis¬
tressful hour? His hand is al¬
ways upon us for good and His
hand is on the helm of the uni¬
verse. “Fear not!”

Hitler found out that his high pow¬

army bogged down in the snow and
mud of the Russian Winter. Al¬
though our Army is largely mecha¬

highly essential factor in this mount¬

mount farms where many cavalry
horses are bred and raised.
These select horses cost from $100
to $165 and our crack cavalrymen
are expert riders and carry on the j
traditions which have followed the j
cavalry from the earliest days of
the Army. Purchase of War Savings
Bonds will insure good mounts for

regularly every pay day can help
buy these horses for the U. S.

“I can’t marry you,’’ said the
justice of the peace, to the ner¬
vous bridegroom. “If this girl is
only seventeen you will have to
get her father’s consent.”
“Consent!” yelled the groom.
“Say, who dQ you think this old
guy with the rifle is, Daniel
Boone?”
“What are diplomatic rela¬
tions, dad?”
“There are no such people,
my boy.”

what book do we find the ac¬
count of the false prophets?”
Little Boy: “In Pa’s income

Diplomacy is the golden art
of making other people think
they know more than you do.
One feature of honesty and
commn sense combined is nev¬
er to promise what you do not
think you can perform, and
then never fail to perform
what you have promised.
A young woman who has
recently taken charge of a
kindergarten, entered a trolley
car the other day, and as she
took her seat, smiled pleasantly
at a gentleman sitting opposite.
He raised his hat, but it was
evident that he did not know
her.
Realizing her error, she said,
in tones audible throughout the
car:
“Oh please excuse me! I miss-
took you for the father of two
of my children!”
She left the car at the next
corner.
Mrs. Henpeck: You said when
you proposed that you’d rather
live in eternal torment with me
than in bliss by yourself.”
Mr. Henpeck: “Well, I’ve had
my wish.”
