Squibs And Titbits
By A COUNTRY PARSON
He who has no interest In his in
vestments never gets interest from
,them. Perhaps this explains why
some don’t get anything from the
church.
~ There may be a perfect standard
Bof man, but man was never a per
fect standard.
The question is not, what is
wrong with the world? Nor what is
the remedy? But is is: How can we
/' get the world to take the remedy?
He who serves his brother best
gets closer to the Father than all
the rest.
The fact that you live in a fog is
no sign that the sun has quit shin
ing.
Say, preacher, taking the hide off
of sinners might be a good thing if
you are sure the wound will not get
infected.
The man who needs the most
4 love from the most people and the
purest sympathy by the purest peo
ple is the man that is so far down
in sin and shame that no one ever
notices him.
He who loses money loses much;
he who loses friends loses more:
he who loses hope loses all.
The Lord says: “Come and let us
reason together.” It is therefore
reasonable that if we have no rea
son in us the Lord can’t do much
with us.
While you are waiting, opportun
ity meets some one else on up the
hill of struggles.
• If “Life is a song,” be sure you
give it the right pitch.
A card to the country parson in
- care of The News will let us know
you are reading these “squibs.”

MEMORIES
(In loving memory of our darling
•> baby, Patricia Ann White, who
passed away Jan. 22, 1941, age 17
months.)
Beautiful brown eyes like two pools
~ Which filled with loveliness,
Yours were many changing moods,
Once serious, then gay, then mis
chievous,
Eyes that shone with heaven’s light,
Revealing a dear little soul so bright,
Heaven-sent on earth to dwell,
To brighten the lives of those who
loved you so well.
Brown eyes, shining in your deep
est ilue,
Mirrors of a little soul so true.
But a band of angels came down
one night,
Searching tor sweet flowers on their
way;
And they gathered up little Patricia
Ann
And carried her home to stay.
’ This lovely bud, so young and fair,
Called hence from early doom
Has gone to see how sweet a
Flower in Paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm or sorrow lade,'
Death came >ith friendly care,
This lovely bud to heaven conveyed
And bid it blossom there.
“Patricia, we never see a sunrise;
but what we think of you—
-1 We never hear a bird sing but what
we hear you, too.
We see your grace and beauty in
every swaying flower;
, We feel your quiet goodness in every I
sunset hour.
What would I give to hold you again I
Your happy face to see,
To hear your voice and see your I
smile
That meant so much to me.”
Wh.en a rose-gold sun is going down
behind the blue;
When I am busy baking—l think
of you
When tidying the room, I place your
chair —
But it seems empty, useless, lost,
with you—not there.
When darkness drifts across the
world and I’m alone —
It seems I feel you lean your head
against my own—
) When smoothing pillows for the
night it seems you’re near;
Then, I remeber you’re in heaven
dear.
Soft and bright the stars are shin
* ing,
Spreading o’er her lonely grave (
Where lies the one we love so dearly
Whom we tried so hard to save.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The one to us He had given,
And though her body slumbers here,
Her soul is safe in heaven.
How sweet to sleep where all is
peace,
Where sorrow can not reach the
breast,
Where all life’s idle throbbings
cease
And pain is lulled to rest.
7
No one knows of the heartaches
Only those who have lost can tell
Os the grief that comes in silence
For the one we love so well.
But there comes a time for all of us
PERTINENT FACTS
(By Dr. Gus W. Dyer, for 30 years
Professor of Economics, Vander
bilt University, Nashville, Tenn.)
The razorback is the only real
hog. He is all hog. He has all the
characteristics that belong to the
hog species and no others. The
typical razorback of the mountain
sections is an interesting study from
the point of view of modern poli
tics. He is strong, cunning, fast
on foot and very smart. It is dif
ficult to catch him or drive him or
hem him. The only way to bring a
razorback to your way of thinking
is to reason with him. He is always
open to the appeal of reason if you
will meet him on his own grounds.
“Hog calling” as. it was practiced in
the past was an appeal to the raze r
back to join the party of the “ap
pealer” and vote his ticket.
If the razorback is in one field
and you want to vote for a change
to another part of the farm, it is
useless to appeal to him on the
ground that the general welfare of
the farm demands such a change.;
He is not interested ih the least in
the general welfare of the farm. It
is useless to appeal to him on the
ground that the welfare if his pigs
and grand pigs demand that he
vote for the change. He is not in-i
terested in the welfare of the hogs
that will follow his path. It is a
waste of time to appeal to his pa
triotism. He regards patriotism asi
‘old stuff”.
In reaching a decision on how he
will vote on your proposition, the
razorback asks but one question,
and that is, “What do I get out oi
this here, and how that will be a ;
material gain to me?” If you have
something to give him oi value, you
may count on his vote.
The razorback vote is very large
today and is a growing menace. The
slogan of the next campaign in tnei
interest oi Americanism snouid be
“Suey”.
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
“In his radio address to the na
tion President Roosevelt said, ‘Your
government has the right to expect
of all citizens that they take a loyal
part in the common work of our
common defense, take loyal part
from this moment forward.’ “We,
as members of the Boy Scouts of
America,” writes Dr. James E. West
in the July issue of BOYS’ LIFE,
“have the opportunity to contribute
something definite. We pledge to
our country, in response to the
proclamation of our President, that
we will do more than we have ever
dreamed of doing before.
“With a recora oi nine and one
hali million men and boys who have
been Scouts or Scouters, and a
membership of approximately one
and one-half million, we are in a]
position to make a real contribution
to the nation. Our President has
indicated his confidecne in the ef
fectiveness of Scout service. We
pledge that his confidence in us
and the confidence of the people of
the nation in the Boy Scouts oi
America will be justified.”
IN MEMORY OF
J. H. ALEXANDER
No greater tribute could be paid
any man than the good opinions;
found and expressed by those he
knew. However, in his passing we I
find his noble traits of character
which he possessed were individual
of this fine Christian man.
J. H. Alexander was born and
died in Chattooga county and spent
his entire life of eighty-six years
here. He was a devoted Christian
and proved his love for the Heaven
ly Father by his regular attendance
at church and Sunday school and
his upright life.
If the seed be perfect the harvest is
sure,
If the fountain be sweet the water
is pure,
If the present be right the answer
is plain.
If the man dieth he liveth again.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we love is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which can never be filled.
It seems so sad and lonely as the
long hours pass away, but we long'
to meet you, dear brother, up in
heaven some sweet day. Lonely are
our hearts today, for the one we
loved so dearly has forever passed
away. He is gone but not forgot
ten; never will his memory fade.
Greatest thoughts will ever linger,
round the grave where he is laid.
But Jesus loved him more ;.n ;
sweetly called him to yonder shar
ing shore. The golden gates were
open and a gentle voice said, come.;
And, with farewells unspoken, you
entered home.
(W’ritten by his sisters, Mrs. J. T
Fulmer and Mrs. G. H. Ramey.)
When we must say goodbye,
Though faith and hope and love!
and trust
Can never, never die.
But when our Lord shall call us
To that Home beyond the sky
We shall leave this world of sorrow
And will live with Him on high.
With our loved ones, we’ll be happ* 7
Gathered ’round the great white
throne,
And we’ll tell them how we love
them
In that peaceful, happy home.

White, Jr.)

THE SUMMERVLLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1941
“ALL THESE THINGS
ARE AGAINST ME”
(By Steve Cloud, Pastor Menlo
Baptist Church).
Often I have thought of old Ja
cob’s remark when his sons re
turned from their first trip to
Egypt. Things were in a bad way
for him . Joseph was lost, dead,
most likely. Now Simeon was kept
in Egypt as a sort of security. And,
still worse, Benjamin, the dearest
child of all, had to be sent along on
the next trip and the possibilities
were uncertain. It was a dismal
strait for the old man and he
groaned: “Joseph is not, and Si
meon is not, and ye will take Ben
jamin away; all these things are
against me.” (Gne. 42:36).
So be thought; but, could he have
seen behind the dark face of things
and watched the divine hand shap
ing the course of things he would
have talked differently. Far from
being against him, the miserable
developments he mourned were
j working things out exactly in his
I favor. Joseph was alive in Egypt,
and the hand that seemed hard was
to become infinitely precious. Si
meon would be released, Benjamin
would not be harmed, there would
be a blessed family reunion and all
live happily thereafter. Yet, poor,
short-sighted Jacob lamented, “All
these things are against me.”
Is it not so with you and me?
When things come to a wretched
pass and our fortunes sink to low
est ebb, looking at things as they
appear with our poor vision, we
think all things are against us.
We measure the whole thread of life
by a few black inches. We think
that because things look dismal
from our point of view, they must
be dismal from every point of view,
God’s included. Every plan goes
awry, every arrangement works out
wrong; the universe seems to have
a grudge at us and heaven seems
solid and unresponsive to our cry.
So we hang our harp upon the
willows and grow disconsolate: “All
these things are against us.”
But just when everything seems
to have gone into a coalition against
us and, look where we will, no one
can show us any good, then often .
God is working out for us His bless
ing. There is another verse which
starts off much like Jacob’s com
plaint, but how differently it ends:
“All things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to His pur- i
pose.” (Rom. 8:28). Now, a be
liever cannot believe both these
verses. He must choose one or the ,
other. If the latter verse be true. ,
then the first cannot be. Jacob was
wrong. And so are we, when we j
ta'’< as he did.
The course of things does not,;
work against the believer. It may' -
seem to. It may work against his ;
earthly fortune. It may even ap- .
pear to defeat him. But in the .
eyes of God and in the light of
eternity all things work together 1
for good. The world laughs at such (
doctrine as childish and rails on at
Fate. Well, all things do not work
together for good to everybody.
The unbeliever has no part in it
Only to them who love God and are
His does it apply, and the world can
not appreciate such simple trust in 1
Him. until it first has learned truly I
to love Him. Os course, it laughs •
and is skeptical and calls it blissful
ignorance.
And so many of us who believe
still doubt. We appreciate our
verse, but we do not appropriate it.
Jesus might have said in Gethsem
ane or at Calvary, “All these things
are against me”, but in the resur
rection He proved that all things
work together for good to Christ
and to the Christ-like.
It is either Jacob's attitude or
that of the Lord Jesus. Where do i
you stand?

LONG MAY IT WAVE
The Flag of the United States of
America! You know how it looks
by heart. You have heard and read
its glorious history. And on the
Fourth of July, you will see more
Flags than ever before waving over
your city or town, see more Stars
and Stripes in parades, carried by
men and women who are doing
their utmost to show their respect
to The Flag. But do you know how
to show it your respect? Do you
know how to handle it, how to hoist
it, or how to display it? In the July
isse of BOYS’ LIFE the article
“Long May It Wave,” answers these
questions.
IN MEMORY OF
RALPH JUNIOR NAPIER
Ralph Junior, how we miss you;
We miss that smiling face.
It’s been so hard to give you up,
You’ll leave a vacant place.
Your little bed is empty,
We see you still around
But just beyond the church yard
There is a covered mound.
God has now a mission
No one but you can fill,
So, darling, He has called you—
This was all our Saviour’s will.
This parting here has grieved us;
To bear it now we must,
So goodbye, dear little Junior,
We know our Saviour’s just.
We’ll try to meet you yonder
When our work on earth is done,
God gathers all his flowers —
He picks them one by one.
This child has been so faithful,
To grieve for him is a sin:
He bravely fought his battle
And smiled until the end.
So why can’t we be like him
And stand this earthly test;
When God looks down upon us
He always takes the best.
If we could see in Heaven
Where the gates are open wide,
We’d see the good old shepherd
With Ralph there by his side.
We’d see him with the angels,
Singing the victory song.
I hope and pray to meet him,
I’m sure it won’t be long.
A few days here in sorrow,
Just a little while to wait;
We hope to meet you, darling,
Just inside of Heaven’s gate.
(Compoesd by his aunt,
Mrs. Jimmie Hix.)
