There ought to be a law a- gainst making any more laws for awhile. Opinion seems to differ on everything else but that 1944 will be the toughest year yet. Politics seem necessary at e- lection time, but the less poli¬ tics there is in government the better the government will be. -★- If you want to know just how closely your neighbors are watching you just stop and think how closely you are watch¬ ing your neighbors. It is a good thing that the Scripture didn’t ask of man to love his neighbor as his neigh¬ bor loves himself. A local merchant says that if merchandise gets much harder to get he may put in a stock of War Bonds. It isn’t difficult to imagine that the Russians at home get a lot of pleasure out of reading the news from the battle front these days. Not all of the back seat driv¬ ing is done from the back seat of automobiles. There was back seat driving before automobiles came into being. Nothing stirs a small town up more than to have a young man who has been deferred by the draft board for farm work spend most of his time running back and forth between the farm and town. Remember the lesson from the first World War. This is no time to load up with debts and a string of partial payments that will come due after the war is over when they in all probabili¬ ty will be hard to pay. Put all the money you can spare into Fourth War Loan Bonds. Not only are they a good investment and a valuable aid in the war effort, but they are going to come in mighty handy after the war is over and we be¬ gin to get - ambitious for new plans about the future. Recently it was reported that a high government official stat¬ ed that the strikes in this coun¬ try whipped up the lagging mor¬ ale of the Axis powers and would result in a longer war and great¬ er casualties. Labor leaders im¬ mediately set up a howl and de¬ manded that the statement be proved. The best answer to this is the following question: What would we in this country think if the news should come out of Germany that workers were striking and walking out of war production plants, the. and the railroads We would think that affairs were getting pretty bad in Germany and would be considerably heartened and encouraged. It would result in our redoubling our efforts for the knock out. Is there any rea¬ son to believe that the Nazis should think differently? How Much Do You Know? 1.

JANUARY 27, 1943 Sunday School Lesson By Dr. Paul Caudill, Pastor FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH MACON, GEORGIA Lesson for Sunday, January 30. Topic: JESUS USES HIS POWER TO HELP j Scripture Lesson: Mark 4 :35-5:43 Perhaps no sublimer portrait was ever painted of Jesus, in words, than that of Simon Peter, who, in Acts 10:38, spoke of Him as One “who went about doing good.” It was characteristic of Jesus to help others in time of difficulty or distress. His whole ministry is studded with a ga¬ laxy of glorious demonstrations of His power, given so sympa¬ thetically and unreservedly in behalf of all mankind. In the present lesson we have the joy¬ ful privilege of considering a brief portion of that ministry. IN THE STORMS OF LIFE Mark 4:35-41. Jesus uses His power to help in the storms of life. In the a- bove scripture narrative, we have the familiar scene of the storm at sea, of the fearful dis¬ ciples who turn to Jesus for res¬ cue as their frail boat is “fill¬ ing.” It is a beautiful picture. The day had been packed full of strenuous activity, and Jesus and the disciples were no doubt very tired from the press of the crowding throngs; consequently, they are evidently seeking to disperse the crowd before night comes on, and to gain a brief respite from their arduous la¬ bors. Hence their journey across the lake. Mark tells us that Jesus takes his place in the stern of the boat on “the” pillow or cushion (there probably being only “one” in the boat). There he would not be in the way of those who were working the ship. But alas, there was little repose for Him. A cyclonic wind swept down upon the lake from the nearby hills, and the bois¬ terous waves began to envelop, in their damp arms, the small craft, and to toss into the boat their drenching waters. Gradu¬ ally the situation grew worse and worse until, finally the boat was “filling.” Already it was loaded with men. Now it was be¬ ing loaded with water. It was too much for the disciples. The strain on their faith was too great. They appealed to Jesus: “Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?” (literally “we are perishing”—it was not some far off event, as they saw it; it was right then and there taking place, and that without His manifest concern). The response of Jesus was instantaneous: “And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, why are ye fearful; have ye not yet faith?” How often in life Jesus would quiet our inner storms of cir¬ cumstances, if we could but learn to trust Him, in simple, child¬ like faith. He is ready. He is ev¬ er near us. He is willing. He has the needed power. But His pow¬ er and His presence can avail us but little, unless we practice the spirit of unwavering trust (James l:5f). IN DELIVERING THE DEMON-POSSESSED Mark 5:1-20. It has become sort of old- fashioned to talk about “de¬ mons” and about the “demon- possessed.” That is because our terminology has a tendency to change, as the generations come and go. Nevertheless, in the a- bove passage w 7 e have a story that needs to be retold, yea, that ought to be shouted from every housetop; for in it we have a picture of the awful condition of those whose lives are peopled by "unclean spirits," and of how those lives may be completely delivered by the redeeming Christ. It is a grievous picture that Mark paints. It is a picture of “tombs”, and “fetters”, and “chains” and self-mutilation, and werid crying in the night, and “swine” and nakedness. It is the portrait of a man utterly beside himself, basely perverted in all his ways. Truly, no more revolting picture is to be found in the New Testament. And yet, in spite of the man’s woeful condition, we see Jesus come to his side and give him total de¬ liverance from his unclean state —complete redemption. As surely as men live today, there are those who lie, like the Peggie - Way ne - Ruth Trenton Drug Sundries man of the tombs, in the full grip of debasing habit—habits which often pervert and de¬ grade all that is beautiful and good and true in life. I have seen such. I have seen man la¬ terally lie prostrate in the dust, weeping, as one demon-possess¬ ed, and crying out for deliver¬ ance. And then, I have seen him turn by faith to the Lord Christ, seeking forgiveness, and find, in return, perfect peace. If men, generally, could but lay hold of this truth; if they could but un¬ derstand that Christ has the power to deliver them from the clutches of any habit, any “un¬ clean spirit,” and “demon” that is robbing them of their best; well, there would soon be a dif¬ ferent world; for no man can “understand” this glorious fact without first coming to know Him as Saviour and Lord. Oth¬ erwise, it is little more than a mystery wrapped in an enigma and hid in a riddle! IN THE TIME OF SICKNESS Mark 5:25-34. Here we have an arresting story, the account of how Jesus came to the rescue of a poor woman who had been ill for twelve years. Mark is a little hard on the physicians, for he says that she had suffered “many things of many physi¬ cians, and was nothing better¬ ed.” (Luke states the case a bit more sympathetically. He says she “had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be healed of any ”). At any rate, the poor woman carried her troubles to Jesus, and in Him found relief. She had tried the doctors and they had all failed her; moreover, she had spent all that she had. There remained but one door of hope. That door was Jesus. She had heard of how He had helped others. Maybe He would help her. Mark eloquently describes the result of her effort: “And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.” Is It not wonderful, today, to realize that, for the believer, there is a Power that lies out and beyond even the dearest earthly sources of help in such hours of need. Think of how drab and dull, and how depress- (Continued on Page Four) Thank You, Dade Countians! We will be forever grateful to you for the start you have given us in our new business venture.
