ARE YOU
COOPERATING?
Beginning this week, users of
electric current are asked to re
duce their consumption of such
current by one-third.
Are you co-operating in this
emergency?
It is necessary that this reduc
tion be carried out so that the de
fense industries in this section shall
have an ample power supply.
We must follow the lead that the
Georgia Power Company has so
patriotically taken in urging con
sumers to curtail their use of elec
tricity whenever possible.
MEMORANDUM: TO

You thought you’d snatch Poland
by talk and by chat;
But England and France wouldn’t
let you do that.
You took Holland and Belgium so
big and so bold;
But you’ve got something you can’t
forever hold.
After France was but something
to remember,
You thought you’d be in London by
the first of September.
And when il duce came into the
fray,
You thought he’d sweep all before
him away,
But the Greeks thought different of
il duce’s might
And set about putting his soldiers
to flight.
You thought Japan could take over
’"the Pacific;
But now you know the Japs are not
so terrific.
You signed up with Joe (Stalin)
and you think he’s your friend;
But you’d better watch out he’ll get
you in the end.
You thought you could scare US
with all your might,
But seventeen million boys signed
up to fight.
We like our country mighty darn
well
And if you bother us we’ll fight like

Honeymoon Contest
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., June 19.
—Georgia’s “typical honeymooners”
will be “Sunnymooners” at Daytona
Beach the week of July 20.
In this second annual “Honey
moon contest” in which all June
brides and bridegrooms of Sum
merville are eligible, the prize will
be a free week of entertainment at
the cool, breeze-swept city of Day
tona Beach. All entrants have to
do is send their photographs to the
Chamber of Commerce at Daytona
Beach. That puts them in the con
test.
The name of “Sunnymoon” has
been given to the contest because
in reality the winners will be on a
second honeymoon, for no one
would expect couples married in
June to wait until mid-July for
their first honeymoon. However,
the city of Daytona Beach plans to
make the Sunnymoon equally as
memorable as the original honey
moon, Russell Dymond, Chamber
secretary, said.
Important Notice To
School Children

FIRST JERUSALEM CONFER
ENCE ON WORLD MISSIONS
LESSON TEXT—Acts 15:6-21.
GOLDEN TEXT—But we believe that
through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ
we shall be saved, even as they.—Acts 15:11.
The conference on missions in
Jerusalem was not the result of an
appeal to a ruling church organiza
tion for a decision, but rather a gath
ering of the beievers from Antioch
with those in Jerusalem to confer
regarding a serious difference of
opinion. The earliest converts to
Christianity were Jews, who had
come by the way of Judaism into
their new faith in Christ. But now,
through the preaching of Paul and
Barnabas, certain Gentiles had be
lieved in Christ. Their new-found
joy was soon beclouded by a theo
logical problem. Certain teachers
from Judea (Acts 15:1) declared
that the Gentiles were not saved un
less they came into the Christian
faith the way of the fullfillment of the
Jewish law. Paul and Barnabas at
once realized that this was
I. The Vital Question—ls Salva*
tion by Grace or Works? (w. 7-11;
see also vv. 1-5).
Paul and his fellow workers had
rightly apprehended God’s plan of
salvation apart from works of the
law. Paul realized that the entire
future of the gospel ministry was in
a sense dependent on the solution of
this problem. Christianity is the
only religious faith in the world that
presents justification by grace as the
way of redemption; all others follow
(more or less) the path of salvation
by works.
The question now was: Shall
works of the law be mingled with
grace—can Jesus Christ alone save
men, or is salvation through Jesus
Christ plus something else?
How was such a serious question
to be settled? Should argument and
strife be permitted to go on until the
stronger party prevailed? Better
judgment indicated the desirability
-of a friendly discussion and a joint
decision with the believers at Jeru
salem. This was
11. The Christian Solution—Coun
cil Rather Than Controversy (vv. 6,
7, 12-18).
There may be times when it be
comes the duty of the Christian
worker to take an uncompromising
stand for the truth of God and refuse
to be moved, come what may. But
certainly there should be no such
spirit in dealing with differing in
terpretations of Scripture on the part
of sincere and earnest Christian
brethren. How much would be
gained in the Church today if, in
stead of magnifying differences and
permitting personal desires and am
bitions to intervene, men were will
ing to sit down in the spirit of Christ
around the tables of Christian coun
cil and brotherhood, presided over
and directed by the Holy Spirit (see
Acts 15:28).
Observe the full measure of lib
erty in discussion, the attentive
listening to the messages of the
brethren. Note also that there were
no secret sessions of a “steering
committee” and no “steamroller”
tactics.
The whole question was honestly
and carefully considered by the
council at Jerusalem, with the result
that there was a vindication of the
preachers of God’s grace.
James finally spoke, giving the
conclusion to which the Holy Spirit
had led the conference (see v. 28).
Here for all the future we have
111. The God-Given Answer—Sal
vation Is by Grace (vv. 19-21; see
also vv. 22-35).
In his epistle to the Ephesians
(Eph. 2:8, 9), Paul succinctly states
this truth: “By grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not of your
selves: it is the gift of God: not
of works, lest any man should
boast.” The teaching of Scripture
is very plain on this point, and we
do well to receive it in all its beauty
and grace.
Let us observe, however, that the
decision in Jerusalem, while it laid
no further burden on these Gentile
believers (v. 28), did quite properly
require of them that, as those who
had been saved by grace, they must
“walk in newness of life” (Rom.
6:4) which they had in Christ. Paul
had the same thought in mind when
he supplemented Ephesians 2:8 and
9 with verse 10, declaring that God
has ordained that we should walk
‘in good works.”
There are two opposite tendencies
(both of which are wrong) in this
matter, which consistently hurt the
Christian church. The one which we
have already stressed tries to mix
works with grace, making salvation
either entirely or partially by works.
Sad to say, some who have sought
to avoid this error have gone to the
opposite extreme and have done vio
lence to God’s plan of salvation by
making grace an excuse for sin,
using their freedom from law as a
justification of lawlessness. We are
God’s “workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works” (Eph.
2:10),
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY JUNE 19, 1941
I WENT AND SAW
When I heard Alexander Webb,
Past President of Lions Interna
tional, speak in Augusta, I realized
two things. One, that the Lion’s
Club is primarily a patriotic organ
ization. The other is that now is
the time for us to show our patriot
ism.
Lion Wells said the first thing
we need is unity. Slimy propa
ganda of discord aids Hitler’s strat
egy. He works into two classes, re
ligion and labor. Hitler uses both
religion and labor until he gets
enough discord to cause confusion
to reign. Then he steps in and
abolishes both.
One who reads very much readily
see that Hitler has made much
progress in America with both
classes. He is playing up the talks
of our isolationists like Lindberg
and Wheeler, and our strikes. In
this he is proving to his people, sat
isfactorily to their minds, that
America is ready for a revolution.
This gives them encouragement to
flight on and sacrifice.
I don’t believe that the majority
of Americans will let a small per
centage of our population who are
selfish or unpatriotic continue this
discontent. The best way to be
united is to do something. We have
found that out in church work.
When people agree to work in the
church they have no time to dis
agree. When you hear a man
squawking you may know he is not
working.
There is a slogan, “Don’t Say No
Ta The USO.” When someone ap
proaches you for a contribution to
the USO, which is the United Serv
ice Organization, give freely and
liberally. This organization repre
sents Catholic, Jew, and Protestant
in an effort to provide wholesome
entertainment and culture for our
soldier boys that are off duty. This
will help your boy to come back
home as clean as he was when he
left. Look for write-ups in detail
somewhere else in this paper.
Fewer People are attending church
this year than last. This statement
applies to a general condition over
our land. Especially is it true in
north Georgia where Talmadge
changed our time to suit his. own
time down in south Georgia. We
may adjust ourselves in time but
we haven’t yet. When is a good
time to hold night service? It is
being tested with hours from 6:00
to 8:30 p. m.
It is well that we are willing to
sacrifice for a National Defense. It
would be better if we would include
in our sacrificial plans God and
the church. The lasting results
would be eternal. The day we an
nounce that, our churches will be
closed on Sunday nights we may
expect an announcement that the
moving picture shows will open on
Sunday night. I am not in favor
of Sunday movies but when they
come, and they are coming in our
county sooner than you expect, 1
don’t want to hear anyone crying
about it that does not attend
church on Sunday night.
To stay away from church on
Sunday night is as straight a vote
for Sunday movies and other things
that go with it as a person can
cast. To stay away from church is
a vote to close the church. When
the church closes, something else
opens in its stead, and it wont be
as good as the church either. If
we work at what we pray for it is
more likely to happen.
They tell me that there is such
a thing as a Home Guards in Sum
mervillle. I don’t know who is run
ning it nor what they are doing.
Suppose you investigate and find
out for yourself. It might be worth
while.
Night Political Meetings
Attract Clouds of Bugs
The best thing about a night politi
cal meeting is the excellent variety
of bugs that always assemble. Bug
collectors have missed a bet by not
getting out to one of these meetings.
Every known, and probably some
unknown, variety of bug sooner or
later will make a three-point landing
on the neck of the man in front of
you if you will only wait long
enough. And the candidate, with a
spotlight fixed upon him, is a fine
target. The other night a bug got
in one of the ears of a speaker
and, much to the amusement of
the crowd, he went through some
queer gestures before the bug
emerged for a new attack.
Candidates have adopted the tac
tics of the old-time evangelist in
whooping up enthusiasm before the
address. Sound trucks (and every
candidate of any importance has
one) blare out “God Bless Ameri
ca,” patriotism rises to a new all
time high and when it hits the boil
ing point the candidate steps for- i
ward and tells why he should be
elected or re-elected. “Happy Days ;
Are Here Again” seems to have lost
a lot of its appeal.

MACHINES
VERSUS JOBS
PART 2
By GEORGE PECK
Previously we discussed the influ
ence of the machine on civilization.
The automobile is an example that
the development of interchangeable
parts was an important factor in
making practical the general use
of machines. Just imagine what
automobile driving would be like
today if tires, spark plugs, fan belts
and other parts were not standard
ized and had to be made especially
to fit individual cars. Think how
impossible mass production of au
tomobiles would be if parts were
not interchangeable so that one
group of men can make axles, an
other wheels, another bodies, etc.
The principle of interchangeable
parts made possible the develop
ment of our modern industrial
system.
America’s march to the head of
the parade of nations is due largely
to the fact that we have achieved
mass production and consumption
to a greater degree than any other
nation. Consider what machine
methods of production have done
to things which have become essen
tian to our present mode of living.
For example, automobiles which
cost thousands of dollars; and type
writers, telephone and radios which
cost hundreds without the full aid
of technology, are now made for a
fraction of their former cost and
thus are made available to millions
whereas before they were only
available to a very few.
It is on the question of employ
ment that most of the attacks on
the machine are directed. Its en
emies glibly cite instances of where
the machine has enabled one man
to produce as much as two, ten,
fifty or more men could produce
by hand. We maintain, however,
that THIS INCREASED PRODUC
TION BY THE USE OF MACHIN
ERY IS THE STRONGEST POINT
IN FAVOR OF THE MACHINE
AGE.
Those who believe increased pro
duction of machinery means fewer
jobs, overlook the important fact
that there is no limit to the amount
of work to be done in the world,
and that when a machine produces
something, men have to produce
just that much less. This oversight
is the same that made by the share
the-wealth cults. These do not
seem to understand that there is
no ceiling for the amount of wealth
and that it is constantly increasing
—these do not realize that if one
man achieves wealth, it does not
necessarily mean that other men
have been made poorer thereby.
DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC SAFETY
Commissioner John E. Goodwin,
of the Department of Public Safety,
called attention to the fact that
there are only 15 more days in
w’hich to secure Driver’s License.
In a statement today Major Good
win pointed out that a great many
people seem to think that the Fam
ily Driver’s License is all one li
cense, however, this is a mistake, as
there will be no difference in the
number of a person’s license —each
person holding the same Driver’s
License number held in former
year. The Family Driver’s License
Law only changes the price of the
wife’s and children’s license.
Major Goodwin further stated
there will be no grace given after
June 30th, and that road checks on ►
automobiles would not be made un
til after that date, giving everyone
a chance to get their license.
_________
Th problem is not to share the
present wealth but to produce more
for everybody.
THE MACHINE CREATES JOBS
TO A FAR GREATER EXTENT
THAN IT DESTROYS THEM. The
National Industrial Conference
Board, a most reliable authority,
has compiled a list of 18 manufac
turing industries which have been
created since 1879. These indus
tries employ about one-seventh of
all factory workers and the jobs
created as a result of these new \
products, probably give employment
to one-fourth of the gainful work
ers today. Now, we can hear some
one ask: “But what about the in
dustries in which employment has
decreased?’ All right, between 1920
and 1930, nineteen principle occu
pations showed a loss of 800,000 per
sons. During that same period, 19
of the growing occupation gained
more than two and one-quarter
million jobs or three jobs gained
for each one lost in the declining
■ occupations.
More on this when Part 3of "Ma- 4.
chines Versus Jobs” appears in a
future issue of this newspaper.
