Buying on credit is all right if you
are sure you will have the cash later.
Anybody can get along with any
body who raises no objections to any

Permanent prosperity in this coun
try must eventually rest upon pros
perous agriculture.
This is the time of the year when
everybody can do a good turn by
buying Christmas Seals.
As the Christmas season ap
proaches it is nice to know that Ja
pan is working for peace in the Far
East.
What this country needs is a few
million adults willing to study na
tional questions and anxious to learn
something about them.
WOMAN DRIVER'S SAFE.
“Look out for the woman driver,”
is a saying that the men use in dis
cussing hazards of the highways.
However a survey made in New
York indicates that women are more
proficient than men at driving auto
mobiles, or, at least, more consider
ate than male drivers where pedes
trians are concerned.
While women drivers comprise
about 14.3 per cent, of the drivers
in New York City, they were respon
sible for less than 2 per cent, of all
the fatal pedestrian accidents.
If the men want to continue the
assertion of their superiority of mo
tor vehicles, it begins to look as if
they will have to produce some sta
tistics.
TWO WEEKS OF SHOPPING.
It is just about two weeks before
Christmas Day and wise shoppers are
already beginning to make their
purchases for the Christmas season.
The early shoppers secure several
advantages which cannot be obtain
ed by last-minutes buyers. For exam
ple, clerks have ample time in which
to wait on customers and to show i
them the attentiton that often results
in a splendid purchase. Moreover, be- ;
fore stocks of merchandise are paw
ed over. and selected from, the j
chances of securing the perfect gift
is alluring to an experienced shopper.
Aside from the benefits to be se
cured by the buyer, it might be well
to call attention to the clerks’ side
of holiday shopping. Early buyers
tend to prevent the last-minute rush
that overwhelms stores and clerks j
and makes buying a nuisance to all .
concerned in the last day or so of
the Christmas season.
Take our advice. Shop early and
get what you want.
PAPER MAKING IN THE SOUTH.—
Paper production in the South will
be quadrupled within a decade, says
Mr. D. H. Killiger, a New York
chemical engineer, reporting in In
dustrial and Engineering Chemistry,
published by the American Chemical i
Society.
According to this authority, pulp
and paper will be removed from a
leading position among the imports
of this nation. The development of
the paper industry of the South is I
associated with the research of
the late Dr. Charles Herty’s process ■
of using Southern pines to produce
pulp and purified cellulose at a cost
low enough to interest paper and
rayon makers.
According to Mr. Killefer, it will
require an investment of $500,000,000
to take advantage of the South’s pulp
wood. Herty’s discovery that young
resin-free slash pine can be used as
raw material is the basis for the
prospect that, before many years,
Southern woodlands will be supplying
the nation with an annual crop of
pulpwood more than adequate for all
demands.
YOUTH’S VIEW
OF TODAY’S NEWS
By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
Dear Readers: I hope I may have
readers, as I begin this column in
which I will try to give you modern
youths’ attitude toward the news of
the day. There will be my personal
ideas along with discussions with oth
er young people. Portrayed here will
be news of the world, nation, state
and community.
I will try to show their trend of
thought along subjects such as the
ruling of the world, politics, books,
movies, music, classical and popular;
sports and other things that may be
of interest.
Those of you who missed the pic
ture at the local theater the first of
the week should really be pitied.
“Boys Town,” the story of a youth’s
reformation, was indeed a treat. It
helped to prove that “there are no
bad boys.” Last week’s “Suez” was
excellent, also. It was about the his
| toric beginning, of the Suez canal,
' a canal that was to prove beneficial
j to the entire world’s trade.
After Tennessee’s massacre of Ole
I Miss last week, the West Coast’s
i moguls may be regretting their
' choice of Duke for the annual Tour
nament of Rose’s game. With Cafega
( really going, the Vols left Mississip
pi a very bewildered team. The great
Parker Hall never got started against
> the strong forward wall of the Vols.
The much-discussed defensive team
■ of the Southern conference could have
| done little better. And how, after a
I season of great things, can the T.C.U.
' team be given the low material rating
iof eighth. With mighty Davey
O’Brian, the unanimous All-Ameri
can, doing everything possible but
' swallowing the ball, in winning vie
, tories. But after Jan. 2, we may get
statistics to prove these sayings, or
vice-versa.
The two literary societies at good
old S.H.S. have had many fiery de
bates concerning national problems
recently. The most hotly-contested
being, "Shduld Roosevelt Run For
A Third Term?” After a long dis
cussion, the majority seem to feel
this way: If a war seems in evidence,
then, if all that has been accomplish
ed toward recovery is to be lost, and
if another capable candidate is not
secured, then he should seek re-elec
tion. In the meantime, if a popular
democrat is supplied, the thing to do
would be for F.D.R. to abide by the
unwritten rule and not seek a third
term. Polls conducted thus far show
Cordell Hull, present secretary of
state, to be the second most popular
man in the nation as far as politics
are concerned.
If you have been kind enough to
scan this poor beginning, I thank you
from the bottom of my heart, and
promise that if possible you may find
it more interesting in the future.
GRACE
(Installment Six)
The law having been perfectly met
by the perfect life in human flesh by
Jesus Christ, thus fulfilling all its
demands against all sins of all sin
ners and then going to the cross and
paying the penalty of its violation in
his death there, and in anticipation
of a “new and better” way, the law
dispensation was ended. So Christ is !
the end of the law for righteousness
to every one that believeth. —Rom.
x:4. The awful contemplation, how
ever, remains that if the law retains
its full demands against the unbeliev
er, and every person is an unbeliever
who is not a believer in Christ and
His word, he does not need to be a
disbeliever, to be damned, just an un
believer. So Christ, having completed
the fulfillment of the law and thus
ended it, to use a comprehensive if
not a Scriptural term, the law auto
matically ended and gave way to
grace.
From a human point of view, it
would seem that when Christ came
preaching that the “Kingdom of
Heaven was at hand” and forbidding
His disciples going to the Gentiles
and Samaritans with their message
when he sent them out under his
first commission, but to go only and,
exclusively to the “lost sheep of the
house of Israel” that he at that time
proposed to then bring in the “King
dom dispensation” until the Jews
his iVn people rejected him as their
king refusing to be ruled by him,
but instead crucified Him on the
cruel cross and that he frustrated
their plans to destroy Him by de
ferring the time for the setting up
of his millenial kingdom and in
stead bring in the dispensation of
grace, thereby giving him the op
portunity to perfect a plan of sal
vation that would admit the Gentiles
and everybody else as well as the
Jews and also give the Jews an op
portunity to repent of the error of
their way by being dispersed all
over the world and persecuted
throughout the age of grace and un
til the “fullness of the Gentiles shall
come in.” Rom. ii:2s, which will be
at the second coming of Christ, who
will come for His bride the lambs
wite shall come this time without
sin unto salvation.
When the bodies of all believers
wlho have died prior to that time
shall be resurrected from their
graves, and all those believers who

SUMMERVILLE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.
(J. G. Kirckhoff, Pastor.)
One of the deep questions of the
human heart is “Does God Care?”
“Dr. George W. Truett says that
during the World war, when he was
preaching to the boys in the trenches
they sometimes followed him to his
sleeping quarters to ask, “Does God
Care?”
The question always arises during
times of stress or sorrow in human
experience. To this question, Divine
Revelation makes answer that God
does care.
The teachings of the Bible in this
respect may be summed up in the
simple phrase, “He careth for you.”
Jesus said, “Not a hair of your head
shall fall to the ground without His
knowledge.” God does care! In that
truth the heart can rest secure.”
