Summer is almost over —by the calen
dar, at least.
Paying cash is a custom that deserves
reinstatement.
Nature made people different; man
tries to make them alike.
Almost any bank could lend more
money if it took more risks.
Life is much too short to be bothered
with feuds and personal hates.
Trading at home should be mutually
profitable to buyer and seller.
Some people will not believe that a war
is possible in Europe until it is under
way.
If you must argue begin your debate
after ten minutes’ contemplation of the
stars.
If every human being was what a hu
man being should be, there would be no
need for policemen or churches.
Individuals want money because money
will get them, they think, what they de
sire. Sometimes this is not true.
WARNING TO BEAUTIES
THE KILLING of a young woman in
Florida by a man who lured her to
death with a lot of chatter about being
a Hollywood talent scout should serve
as a warning to movie-struck girls all
over the nation.
Late news from the scene of the trag
edy indicate that the man says he is
ready for the electric chair and arrange
ments should be concluded to put him
there in short order.
Os course, we know there are many at
tractive young women in Chattooga Coun
ty who are just sure that they would be
hits on the screen, but we advise them co
be careful about beliieving promises of
any self-appointed guide, especially if he
is a stranger.
SALT CAN SAVE YOU!
THE DANGER of heat prostration can
be lessened by the individual who
looks after his system’s salt supply, if
we read aright a document of the U. S.
Public Health Service.
Prescribing liberal doses of salt, the
experts say that if salt lost in perspira
tion is not replaced and in adequate
amounts the sweat glands of the body
close up and heat prostration results.
Some steel plants and other industries,
where men work in excessive heat, have
cut the number of prostrations by 90
per cent, by providing salt tablets at ev
ery drinking fountain.
So there you are- Just get a salt block,
lick it a few times a day, perspire freely
and you won’t find yourself laying on
your back, a victim of heat prostration.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you !
NEW AUTO LIGHT IS SAFER
AFTER THREE years of co-operative
effort on the part of automobile en
gineers a new type headlight will be re
vealed to the public this week, but
enough is known to assert that it will
add to the safety of the highways at
night.
Preliminary announcement states that
almost all automobile manufacturers will
include the new “sealed beam” headlight,
which will give 50 per cent, increase in
light power, with a large increase ;n
range for the up. or “country”, beam. ■
more fully illuminate the right side of
the road with the low, or “traffic”, beam,
and, at the same time, reduce the glare.
Such an improvement will undoubted
ly save many lives because half of the
highway fatalities occur at night, when ;
less than a quarter of the traffic is mov- j
ing, and the presumption is that lights |
have something to do with the casualties. I
Anybody who drives the highway at I
night realizes the importance of dimming :
lights when meeting traffic. The new
lamp will increase the safety factor thru i
its use. In some States the use of the
low beam is mandatory when meeting
other vehicles but, in these States, as
elsewhere, there are inconsiderate people
who drive cars.
SUPPORTING THE CHURCHES
THE CHURCHES of the world are in- ‘
stitutions of man, designed to help hu
man beings towards perfections, the goal
of most religions.
Intelligent men and women, for hun- i
dreds of years, have supported the church j
of their choice. Sometimes, superstition
and ignorance have egged individuals to 1
do great things in the name of religion, I
but more and more, people support
hurches from intelligent appreciation of
the functions of churches.
We are not particularly interested in
the church to which any individual be
longs. That is a matter for every person
to decide. Some human beings like re
ligion served in one way and some like
it otherwise. The variety of style, treat
ment and types can only be explained by
the varied nature of men and women who
must be served.
Just as adults give their time and
money to support other worthwhile un
dertakings they should deliberately plan
to give of their time and money to the
church to which they belong. It takes
money to run any organization and while
the church has a Divine ause it has cer
tain very definite human needs, which
must be met by those who belong to it.
YOUTH’S VIEW
OF TODAY’S NEWS
By WILLIAM CLEGHORN.
The European situation is becoming
Harming. We have for one thing the
non-aggression pact between Germany
and Russia. Officials in Washington
stated this was not as serious as first
suspected. Observers in the state depart
ment said that this was but a renewal
of an old agreement between the two
countries. They seemed to think Ger
many wanted this brought to light onlv
because it might add pressure in settling
the Danzig question. But the British par
liament seemed to have excited itself no
'ittle as an emergency meeting was
called for today that would deal prin
cipally with defense measures to meet
he now critical European crisis.
The three principal measures con
tained in the pact are as follows:
1. A pledge to abstaiin from aggress
ion against one another.
2. In case one party is the victim
f an attack by a third party the other
will remain neutral.
3. In case either commits an act of
aggression the other may denounce the
agreement.
If this is true this pact is very simi
lar to the one proposed for alliance
between Great Britain and the United
States. That is the Georgia High
school’s interscholastic debate this year.
“Resolved that the U. S. should form
an alliance with Great Britain,” gave
this as an argument for the affirma
tive team. It would have been a de
fensive alliance and could not possibly
have drawn either country into a war.
This correspondent being on the affirma
tive team at dear old 8. H. S. argued
that this was the only type alliance
that it would be advisable to form for
he U. S. can remain neutral in any
ar as long as our trading and other
rights are not infringed upon. Whether
the alliance uniting the soviet and fas
cist nations is of this type remains to
be seen. It may be a strategic move
by Hitler for strengthening his world
conquering dream. France has now
abandoned all relations with Russia. As
you know a proposed pact was in for
mation that would ally England, Russia
and France. The Reds have made a
statement that this would still be pos
sible, but more than likely the democ
racies do not think it likely.
Bhe all-powerful nazis claim they will
annex Danzig regardless of what other
powers claim. But Britain, who is
king Poland to the fullest extent,
might protest ever so lightly against
Germany taking back its war-time pos
sessions. Let Foreign Minister Von
Ribbentrop, of Germany, and his aides
confer with Foreign Minister Motoloff.
Russia, as long as he prefers but in
he end the courageous democracies with
sane men at their head will uphold the
rights of weaker nations w’ho are their
allies. ,
Thought for the week:
May we as full-blooded Americans,
although we have our own troubles, be
thankful that we live in democracy I
where we have a voice in our govern
ment's transactions and strength
enough to scare any mad conquerer into
timidity.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our kind friends and
neighbors of Trion for their kindness and
sympathy to our darling mother and sis
ter who suffered sixteen long years. She
was so sweet and patient in her suffer
ing. We also wish to thank the doctors
at Milledgeville for their kindness: also
those for their beautiful flowers. We also
wish the thank the pastors of Trion who
brought such comforting words to the
children and loved ones in the hour of '
sorrow. May each and every one of you,
in your hour of sorrow, have just such
help and sympathy.—Her loving neice,
Miss Avelon Hawkins.
Life In the British Isles.
Drought is blamed for the present po
sition, but one member of the board said
it was partly due to wastage. “Working
people,” he said, “should have one bath
a fortnight instead of one a week while
the emergency exists.”—London Daily
Mirror.

GOOD TIDINGS
By THOMAS D. LYNN.
INSTALLMENT THREE
The Spirit of Error
There are men in this country that
call themselves Church of God preachers,
and at the same time, the doctrine they
teach is “rotten”.
They teach that the first resurrection
is yet to come, but the Bible teaches
that the first resurrection has already
been.
To prove these facts I will refer you
to Isa. 26:19: Thy dead men shall live,
together with my dead body shall they
arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in
the dust: for thy dew is as the dew of
herbs, and the earth shall cast out the
dead. For more prophecy turn to Hosea
6:2: After two days will he revive us :
in the third day he" will raise us up, and
we shall live in his sight.
I will ransom them from the power of
the grave; I will redeem them from
death, Hosea 13:14. The fulfillment of
these prophecies are recorded in Matt.
27:50-53, which read like this: “Jesus.
When he had cried again with a loud
voice, yielded up the ghost, and. behold,
the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom ; and the earth
-lid quake and the rocks rent; and the
graves were (not shall be) opened; and
many bodies of the saints, which slept,
arose, and came out of the graves after
his resurrection, and went into the holy
city, and appeared unto many. To show
that there were some singing going on,
I will refer you to Rev. 14 :-6. And I
looked, and 10, a Lamb stood (not will
stand) on Mount Zion, and with him an
hundred and forty and four thousand,
having his Father's name written in
their foreheads. And I heard a voice from
heaven, as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of a great thunder: and
I heard the voice of harpers harping
with their harps. And they sung (not will
sing) as it were a new song before the
throne, and before the four beasts, and
the elders : and no man could learn that
song but the hundred and forty and four
thousand. Which were (not shall be) re
deemed from the earth. These are they
which were not defiled with women; for
they are virgins. These are they which
follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.
These were redeemed from among men,
being the first fruits unto God and to
the Lamb. And in their mouth was found
no guile: for they are without fault be
fore the throne of God.
