STATE DEFENSE CORPS
ROME, Ga., March s.—Men,
from the Tubize and Lindale un
its of the State Defense Corps
fired on the indoor range last
night.
More instructors were present
than ever before, including Dr.
Winston, Ridley Reynolds; from
Tubize unit, A. K. Taylor, Corpl.
Earl Roberts, Sam Bradford, C.
J. McMullen, Ist Sergt. C. F. Al
exander; and T. S. Medlock, form
Rome unit.
Men from the Rome unit came
rp to the range after the drill
of the Rome unit. Due to the
fact that the bad weather had
prevented instructors’ practice
outdoors on Saturday afternoon, •
for several weeks, it was neces
sary to let the instructors fire
after the units had finished.
We have three new instructors
(the last three mentioned above)
and hope to qualify enough to
have an instructor on all six fir
ing points every night.

fired on the range last night.

C. B. Mixon 98x200
W. N. Jolly 89x200
The average score was 151x
-200.
R. L. West was high man,
which is to be expected, as he
has been a competitor in many
>ifle matches, and is listed in
the “National Ranking” of rifle
shots, for last year.
Instructors were A. K. Taylor,
Corpl.; Earl Roberts, Sam Brad
ford, C. J. McMullen, Ist Sergt.
C. F. Alexander, Ralph Wood
ward, all from Tubize, and R. L.
West and Ist Sergt. L. E. Parker,
of Cartersville.
The increased number of in
structors makes it possible to
teach more men to shoot in less
time. It is hoped to develop
enough instructors and range of
ficers so that the range Can be
open every night, with alternat- j
ing instructors and range offi
cers, without putting TOO much
burden on a few men.
We can get two more firing
points on the present range, [
which will permit eight men to ,
shoot at one time.
We need more “spotting” tele- I
scopes, however —anything that |
will show a .22 bullet hole at fit- ■
ty feet.
Captain Jones, of the Carters
ville unit, has plans for the j
building of a range for the serv- |
ice rifle, to make possible firing j
at all ranges up to 1,000 yards.
Such a range is badly needed in
this district.
The Shannon unit fired March
6 on the indoor range. Fred 1
Smith, of the Rome unit, is re
quested to shoot with them. Fred I j
has come up from shooting the !;
lowest scores in the entire dis- I
trict to doing very good shoot
ing indeed, and is expected to ;
beat some of the men in the ]
Shannon unit. j

ROME, March 7.—The Shan
non unit of the State Defense i ‘
Corps, under Lieut. D. K. Hauser, ,
fired on the range last night, i
Nineteen out of the 25 men in ■
the unit fired, an attendance |
record not beaten, and only
equalled by the Cartersville unit, 1
which fired the night before. I
The average score was 150}£x- (
200, one half point under the av- 1
erage score of the Cartersville j
unit of 151x200. <
The scores were: -

Fred Smith, of the Rome unit,
who works at Shannon, fired
with the unit. Fred brought his
score up to 154x200, or above the
average of the Shannon unit, to
beat ten men of the unit, which
is remarkable, since, when the
district started shooting, Fred
was by far the worst shot in five
counties. Moreover, Fred shot in
the last relay with Lieut. Hauser,
with everybody watching him. It
is far more difficult to shoot a
good score under pressure. This
improvement is due directly 1
the coaching of Corpl. Earl Rob
erts. It is a very fair sample
the very effective work done by
all the instructors.
Our experience shows that the
general idea that all Americans
are born rifle shots is all wet.
The fact is that the average man
before training could not hit a
man acros the street in five
shots. It is easy to teach the av
erage man to shoot, but there is
only one way to do it: good
coaching, and burning lots of
powder.
Instructors were A. K. Taylor,
Earl Roberts, Ralph Woodwarc
and Sam Bradford, from Tubize,
and T. S. Medlock, from the
Rome unit.
Next Monday—The new Lyerly
unit, under Lieut. Jim Hollis,
will fire. This is the only unit
that has not fired at least once.
1 There will be no more firing
next week.

chool Lesson

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.

THE LORD’S SUPPER
LESSON TEXT—Luke 22:14-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—As often as ye eat this
bread, and drink this cup, ye do show th<
Lord's death till he come.—l Corinthians
11:26.
Old things pass away, and new
things take their place—such seems
to be the law of life. That which is
useful and greatly desired fulfills
its time of service and is set aside
for that which takes its place. The
change which occurred in our lesson
shared this aspect, but was in reality
so vital and fundamental that it
merits our closest attention.
The Passover feast had (since
that great and awful night of Israel’s
redemption out of Egypt’s bondage)
pointed forward to the Christ and
. His cross as the fulfillment of the
| type of redemption by the shedding
of blood. But now the hour had
come for Him to give Himself in
death, and He set aside the Pass
over (because it has been fulfilled)
to establish the great Christian
feast of remembrance —the Lord’s
table, showing forth His death till
He come.
I. The Last Passover (vv. 14-18).
Our Lord looked forward with in
tense desire to the Passover which
He now observed with His disciples,
for it was the last feast of that kind
recognized by God. All that it had
foreshadowed of deliverance and
hope was fulfilled in Him who now
sat at the head of the table. He
had moved forward with resolute
purpose and desire to the day when
His mission on earth was to be ac
complished, and He was to become
our Passover (I Cor. 5:7).
The fact that He had looked for
ward to it with desire does not in
any sense minimize the deep dark
ness of either Gethsemane or Cal
vary. Remember that, when in the
garden he faced that hour and
thought of the possibility of the cup
being taken from Him, He said to
the Father, “Not what I will, but
what thou wilt.” Praying concern
ing the same matter (in John 12:
27), He said, “Now is my soul
troubled; and what shall I say? Fa
ther, save me from this hour: but
for this cause came I unto this
hour.”
11. The First Communion (vv. 19,
20).
Taking the unleavened bread and
the unfermented wine of the Pass
over, which had just been observed
by Him for the last time, Jesus es
tablished a new feast, the Christian
feast of remembrance, which we call
communion or the Lord’s table.
As we have already suggested, it
is a feast of remembrance. “For
as often as ye eat this bread, and
drink this cup ye do show the Lord’s
death till he come” (I Cor. 11:26).
At the Lord’s table His followers find
spiritual strength in remembering
His death for them, and they also
find joy as they remember that He
is to come again. In doing so they
testify to the world that they be
lieve in and cherish these truths.
This feast is also rightly called
“communion,” for down through the
ages and until He does come the
saints of God have at His table sweet
communion, first of all with Him,
and then with one another.
We also note that our Lord spoke
of the cup as “my blood of the new
testament.” The word “testament”
means “covenant.” The Lord’s ta
ble therefore speaks of our alle
giance to Him, of our loyalty to our
Lord, and our devotion to His serv
ice. The Christian Church therefore
speaks of the communion service as
a sacrament, a word taken from
the Latin “sacramentum,” meaning
oath, and essentially an oath of al
legiance.
111. Betrayal and Strife (vv. 21-
30).
Someone will say, “That point
does not belong with the other two.
Both the feast of the Passover and
the Lord’s Supper are for the joyful
remembrance of deliverance and re
demption.” The objection is well
taken except for one thing—we are
dealing with human beings as they
are, not as they should be and could
be by the grace of God.
Here in the inner circle of the
twelve there was one traitor. It
seems impossible, but apparently
Judas had maintained such outward
conduct as to turn no suspicion in
his direction, even though all along
he had in his heart the blackest of
treachery against his Lord. It is a
sad and soul-searching fact which
is here revealed, that it is possible
for one to make a high profession
1 of faith in Christ and even so to live
as to give no cause for criticism,
and yet to be unregenerate and in
fact the enemy of Christ.
What about the strife regarding
position? Shame on us, for it still
goes on in the church. Not even
the remembrance of our Lord’s
death and the reminder that He is
coming again is enough to keep men
from wanting to be greatest.
May the spirit of Christ get hold
of some self-seeking Christian as he
today sees Christ as the One whose
body was broken ar*d whose blood
wag shed for him.
Marooned Fisherman
Battles Sudden Flood
GOOD fisher
man’s luck al
most turned into
tragedy for Wil
bur M. Mosley, of
Mount Airy, N. C.
Ignoring a heavy
rainstorm, he got
his tackle and
went late in the
afternoon to a fa
vorite spot on the
Ararat River. C
He fished from
WilburM. Mosley
• a sandbar in the
middle of the river. The bites were
coming fast and he soon forgot the
passage of time. When darkness fell,
with the rain still pouring down, he
continued his sport.
Three hours later Mosley gath
ered up his equipment and catch and
prepared to wade ashore. He found
he was trapped. The violent rain
storm had flooded the entire section.
On either side of his “island” raced
a swirling, boiling current a hun
dred yards wide.
The sand bar on which he stood
had shrunk, he discovered, to a small
strip. The water was rising so fast
he knew he could not stay there. He
had a flashlight in which he had put
fresh batteries just before he set
out. With this, he found a long, stout
pole. Armed with light and pole, he
started out into the current, taking
a chance on getting to shore.
He gripped his pole and held to
his light, trying to brace himself
against the flood. Only desperate
maneuvering enabled him to make
any progress. Several times he went
completely under water.
“Every few yards I thought it was
all over,” Mosley said. “Each time
I managed to keep on my feet and
hang to my pole. I could do that only
because my bright light showed
every whirlpool and rock. I worked
along, actually foot by foot, through
the whole hundred yards of current.
When I got where there was solid
ground under my feet once more, I
was so cold I was almost helpless.”
Mosley found a house near the
river where he got thawed out and
dried his clothes. The flood com
pletely submerged his “island”
shortly after he got ashore.

New York has been called the city
of opportunities, of conquests and of
Horatio Alger stories, and it is,
points out Louis Sobol, New York
columnist. Here are a few exam
ples cited by Sobol to show that the
above statement is true: David Sar
noff, head of Radio Corporation of
America, started as a messenger
boy; Al Jolson arrived in New York
so broke that he slept on a park
bench; Irving Berlin sang in a sa
loon for the price of a night’s lodg
ing; Lawrence Tibbet couldn’t af
ford the cheapest seat at the Metro
politan Opera house when he first
came to New York. Sam H. Har
ris started working in a hat store;
Al Smith was a truck driver who
later became governor, and John
Golden began his career as a brick
layer. And Sophie Tucker started
out as a waitress.
