UNION RECORDER. MILLEDGEVILLE, GA„ AUGUST 23. ,926 Interesting Lettr from Mrs. Nelle Womack Hines Atlanta, Ga. piedmont Hospital Aug. 20th, 1928. Pfur Home Folks: Honest-to-poodness, when 1 c ““; ,J VO u good people in m> last i ."r about taking care of the Old Town while I was away, I imagined there was any real m ^ nafe to the safty of the place. I T'l,,'-, tiream that you would lot the ; jn . ji.. r cnd and waoh away part of .that had already been ' r that you would let the : take off is for the ri- e an d mighty nei ihe white way lights, and j-j tv eater question—where do we .' now? I guess all the Council Yrifl start from “taw” (and I haven’t ij,,. ylichtest idea now to spell it i,„t that’s the line all the boys “toe” Tvh'-n they play marbles I think) any vay it seems that we are going to to build us u sky-scraper to put ouc pump in—so we will all have tc v"rk together now to get straighten ed out. I’ve been looking out to see ir dome of the papers if there wouldn’t be a story about Mr. Eberhart—Mr Lnfferty—Mr. Henry Wootten. Mr Pete Bivins, Mr. Carpenter and the "Judge”—catching fresh water trout on Hancock Street. Its -a poor flood htiit isn’t >oirpast by one good fish ♦ale. I hope by now you have eno water to drink—its to bad to be prived of the very last thing. All of you who have written and sent me car.ds—I am taking this way of answering you—for I would n ver be able to write to you all. I am still getting on fine—there has l*>en a slight change in my weekly program—the last two operations have been postponed for another week or two—for good reasons. I’ve pit to learn to "wiggle” that first t«e before the doctor will go after the next one. Now—that seems a • mall thing to do—but if you have had one toe taken out—turned around and planted upside down and then kept in a cast three weeks—just let me nee you wiggle it! But its n»mir.g on fine—I saw it move today and I felt like I had accomplished winders. Hid you see in the paper where we had a "near fire” at the nurse’s home just next door? I didn’t pay any attention to it—heard the fire vneid-s coming out—knew they were near—could smell the smoke—but I wasn’t worried. Thought Atlanta couF.I take care of her fires—which she did. Rut there was something funny connected with it—just a lit- tei while after the fire engines left the neighborhood, I rang for the night .urse. when she came in I noticed she looked kinder funny— but it didn’t dawn upon me until the next morning (after I heard where the fi r( . W a R ) that she thought I was scared and rang about the fire. But the cause of my ring was a mt. He was making more fus« than the fire engine* did—and keeping me nwake —which they did not. You can’t hunt rats with a twenty-five pound cn.ot nn *arh foot. We didn’t find him— was evidently in the wall and moved his headquarters the next niirht- I haven’t heard him again. They get sed ■nything and I guess thnt’s true. They uwd to say that a woman could do anything with a hnir-pin but they became scarce—I’ve tried the fly-swatter. I got me n real pretty one all bound in blue to match °n* of my bed jackets—and man—I enn jus 1 do almost anything with '^a* «watter! My bed in one corner 1 can’t reach everywhere—but with *b'• fly-swatter I turn on an off my ■b-.-fric fan which sits In the window! I r: oped on the hurenu those several c-':hts that the rat was sawing wood (to scare him awav)!

I’ve started my hospital scrap book and it is doing wonders to help me pass away a few hours each day most pleasantly. Believe me it is going to be quite a work of art. I have had lota of nice company, always glad to see them—but—some how when they come and don’t find me lying back with a wet cloth over my eyes—they maybe feel that I have no business in a hospital. I thep hurridly explain that it is my feet that are effected. Thank good ness—the trouble hasn’t gone to my head yet. It is real amusing to gc‘ some of the letters from friends who are wonderinir what in the world I am going to a hospital "sixty days” for. I gu«-s it is mystifying —one friend wrote: "You didn’t state your troubles but to read between lines. Sixty days—so they say—is what the Judge usually fines: But den’t get discouraged, some in worse shr.pe than you Has served their sentence and been released good as new." I have been fortunate enough to hnv? beautiful flowers in my room all the time. As I write there are two vases sitting on the bureau—one a big tall one holding the most beauti ful lilies—several different kind that pmell like vou imagine n lovely lily should. With them is a lavender that blooms out the stem and ends in a little green curlicu—I couldn’t pronounce the name when I knew it and can’t spell it—so you will have to guess. The other vase is a basket of lavender and purple astres, yellow zineas and pink —now don’t you know they pretty? Well the next time I write T guess: it will he all over so far as my four operations are concerned. The last time I wrote I was about to have ♦ho second one—and Oh hoy—well—, I didn’t "get down” in two days that time—and the floating proposition isn’t what it?' cracked hone nr' runrdinn elfs will bo on the job next time.

Long since they had learned that trouble-tinu- should invariably be prayer-time and one can always have access direct to the Throne of Grace. In their pr;:y t -r they rested their case with ‘he Almighty. He has promised to be our Burden-Bearer ns well oh Our Sin-Bearer. It was P.-tcr who learned the truth: “Casting all your anxiety upon Him. because He carcth for you,” I Peter 5:7. Mar tin Luther said: “When your troubles become too great for prayer, then be- gan to sing.” Paul and Silas broke forth in singing because they were assured that their prayers w?re heard and would be answered in God’s time and way. "Suddenly there was a great earth quake” und all the incarcerated as Paul and Silas, found t Rev. '‘emuel D. P»We, D. D., Associate General Secretary of The World’s Sunday School /Association Trouble followed success at Philippi. As Paul went daily to his place for teaching, a girl, indwelt with an evil spirit, was met The de mon within cried out against Paul as he passed by. A general stu^y of the Bible, both in the Old and New Testament, indicates that the evil spirits are always especially aggres sive when they find their sway in the lives of men is assailed as believ ers r.re added to the Kingdom. There is the outcry of conscious inferiority and knowledge of eventual complete overthrow, "For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his fee,” I Corinthians 15:25. The out cry was against Paul’s Lord rather than against His mer • messenger. In His Name Paul commanded the evli spirit to come out of the girl and there was instant obedience. But this girl thereby ceaned to be of use to the syndicat? that owned her, for they made gain through the devilment of the evil spirit that had possessed her. In some way her out cries had been used in a species of divination akin to modern fortune telling. These men, who cared noth ing for humanity but only for per sonal monetary interests--, laid forci ble hands on Puul and Barnabas and dragged them bc'orj the who were influenced, probably with a bribe, to agree with the complainants who demanded that these stranger? :1 because they had stop, ped their questionable income. Hour? oi misery began with the cruel beating*, after which these selves free as walls fell apart and permitted them to go at pleasure. The jailer was also awakened and was the most frightened man there. He drew his sword to kill himself before an other could do it to him, for his life would be the forfeit if even one pris oner escaped. Paul, the always thoughtful, cried out that no one had run away. Then the keeper way sti.l more nVraid and used all courtesy as he brought these men forth. Mean- bile he recalled at least something of their teachings, which had become common report. Ho realized that their instructions must be truth and asked for himself: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Paul at once gave answer, which is still the only reply to make to any inquirer after erlasting life: "Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shnlt be saved.” FOR RENT — Three connecting room*, private entrance, lights water and phone or one furnished bed room and kitchenette.
