State News Os Interest News At a Glance ATLANTA. —Proof that “business moves ahead” in Atlanta and the state is seen in the report from Secretary of Labor Perkins, which showed a 63 per cent increase in the number of persons securing jobs in Georgia during August. Georgias increase in placements was seven times the average increase throughout the na tion and fourth in the South Atlantic group. Georgia reported 6,077 per sons had secured jobs during the month, of which 2,929 were in pri-| vate enterprise; 3,148 on public rolls' and 975 got jobs lasting more than a month, in Georgia tncre were 232 per cent fewer applications filed m August than in July. The active list on file as of August 31 was 141,245. Still further evidence that business moves ahead in Georgia came from the Industrial Bureau of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, of which Charles F. Palmer is president. The report covered the first eight months of 1938. The evidence: (1) Eignuy two new concerns have established factories, distributing, sales or ex ecutive organizations in Atlanta since January 1. (2) Forty-seven out of town firms have located resi dent representatives in Atlanta to cover the Southeast, (3) These new concerns will provide annual pay rolls of more than $1,155,550 and employ approximately 775 persons. (4) Thirty new industrial prospects have been developed since January 1. ’HERE’S THE SOLUTION: “Give the American railroads that equality of treatment and opportunity to which they are entitled—the right to do business as a business —and to meet competition on equal terms. They ask no more; they should have no less. But give them that, and once more we shall see that ‘nation al prosperity is geared to railroad prosperity’,” declares the Associa tion of American Railroads.

That, of course, is un derstood. It means to be faithful up to the point of death. In other words, be faithful enough to die. God is looking for faithful people. He appreciates faithful people. He pro mises a special crown of life for the man with a martyr spirit. The He brew children went through a fiery furnace and came out alive, but they. had the hearts of martyrs. They be- I lieved that God would deliver them.; but they said “Whether He does or. not we are not going to bow down to false gods.” Daniel had no spec ial fondness for a lion’s den. He had rather have a comfortable bed in a nice room in a palace but his con science would not let him fail God in j the hour of crisis. So he took his [ chances in a lion’s den. He came outj safe and sound, but he had a mar tyr’s heart. I wonder how many who read these lines, if an emergency should come would meet the emergen cy with a spirit of a martyr. Suppose some cruel Nero held sway and should demand the head of every Christian who would not go back on Jesus: Christ. Would we “stay nut?” Ju-: das Iscariot sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. I have known peo ple to sell Him for less than that and they were not even decent enough : to hang themselves after they had' done it. The road to hell is paved with; good intentions. Away down in the; depth of the heart of the average man is a desire to go straight. No man really intends to go to hell. A vile sinner who believes the Bible, who believes there is a heaven and a hell would not honestly sell his hope of heaven for a million dollars. Even sinners hope sometime to change but they delay their decision. They harden their hearts. The devil dopes ther-t- They go out into eternity without God and without hope. It is an awful thing to be a sinner. Sin always produces hell. It produces hell in this world. It turns happy homes into places of torment. It turns peaceful nations into bloody battlefields. Sin fills the graveyards with the dead. It puts stripes on convicts. It puts widow’s weeds on, lonely women. It pinches wrinkles of pain in human faces.. It dims the ['eyes and pales the cheek. It makes the heart skip a beat. It makes the breath short. It disgraces girls. It breaks up homes. It digs a grave sot the murderer. It populates hell, for a suicide. It erects the scaffold Sin is an awful thing. Jesus Christ, i the sinless Son of God, took our sin on Himself and bowed His head and ; died. If our sin could break the heart of Jesus when He bore it, if 1 it could dause Him to cry, “My God, SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1938. 8 Division Conference Os W.

STATE PRESS MOURNS PASSING OF EDITOR TIFTON, Ga.—The Georgia press lost one of its most beloved members with the passing last week of John G. Herring, 48, editor of the Tifton Daily Gazette.

My God, why hast thou forsaken Me?’ . it will certainly damn and destroy our souls unless we trust Him who is able to save to the uttermost all who come to God by Him. Jesus has to be a wonderful Savior to save men from sin. How good He was to die for us. . How wonderful He is to save us. If • you haven’t trusted Him, God help you to do it. Wars, Rumors of Wars Heartaches of the World Today The real fear that faces the world as we go to press today, is that at any moment another European war may break. The dreaded enemy of any human heart is war. Even though thous ands of miles of water separates our fair land from the war zone yet we all know that If the terrible carnage breaks in Europe every man, woman and child in America will be affected. The real heartache today, is the fear of another world carnage. Our President’s plea to the Euro pean powers, was one of the sanest and most sensile plea that could have been spoken to heads of govern ments that differ on minor points. All nations, including America ex cept one, sent messages of approval to Prudent F. D. Roosevelt, thank ing him for words of sound reason and amicable pleas to settle the dif ferences at a conference table, before the awful destruction of human be ings. At last it will be settled at a con ference—why not before war? All redeemed souls have been asked to intreat our heavenly Father, to keep us from destruction and misery, and give wisdom to rulers to settle their differences amicably.
