SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS
International Sunday School
Lesson for March 16, 1947
Golden Text: “Ye are my
friends ,if ye do the things
which I command you.”—
John 15:14. Lesosn Text: John
14: 1-6; 12-18; 15: 1-15.
In this lesson, we get a glimpse
into the very intimate relation
ship between Jesus and his disci
ples. Realizing that he was soon
to leave them, that very night,
to be exact, Jesus was anxious
to comfort and reassure his be
wildered tollowers. The words he
gives in John 14 have proved a
source of comfort to his follow
ers all down through the cen
turies.
It is well for us to realize that,
in the words of one writer, the
whole universe is the dwelling
place of God. The earth Is but
one compartment and it ought
not to be a matter of grief for
one to pass from one habitat into
another, especially when “the
Father’s house’’ into which we
pass after this abode is so am
ple and glorious in its nature.
Death, for the Christian, is not
the end, it is removal from one
part of God’s world to another.
Then, using an illustration
very familiar to the disciples, a
grapevine, Jesus talked to them
about the unity which existed
between themselves and him. He
likened the relationship to that
of a vine and its branches, point
ing out, however, that branches
which bore no fruit would with
er and be destroyed. Likewise
the branch would be fruitless,
except as it remained in con
tact with and a part of the vine
itself.
“The life of the body is func
tionized in the eye for the pur
pose of sight, in the ear for the
purpose of hearing,” says Rev.
Alfred G. Mortimer, “but at |he
moment of death, though the
eye and ear retain all their in
tricate parts, they can neither
see nor hear, because they are
separated from the life of the
body, o the moment we are sep
arated from Christ, our spiritual
life begins to decay.”
The illustration emphasizes
the unity and permanent rela
tionship between the vine and
the branches; so with those who
accept and become a part of
the Kingdom of God. “There are
some people who visit Christ,”
says Rev. John H. Jowett. "There
are others who abide in Him. To
the one class religion is a tem
porary expedient; to the other it
is a permanent principle. To the
one class Christ is an occassion
al shelter; to the other He’s an
•eternal home.’ ”
Jesus laid much emphasis on
the fruit which the branches
should bear, otherwise they
would be hindrances to the ful-

Take Stock and §ee’ Which Way
You Are Headed
We seldom think about life
and what its meaning is until
we strike bottom, until we see
the end near of our earthly ex
istence. So long as health holds
out and material needs are in
hand, the world seems to fully
satisfy and meets our every
want.
We seldom reflect as to where
we are headed until affliction
takes hold and the old house is
fillment of the purposes of the
vine, which is to be fruitful. “If
we are not helping His work, we
are hindering it. We are not
positive harm. We are taking up
only doing no good; we are do
ing the place that might be oc
cupied by others who would do
better work than we, and the
s. sooner we are taken away the
-I better for that work,” says Rev.
-1 Thomas Marjoribanks.
1 A marvelous promise was
’'made, “ask whatsoever ye will
3 j and it shall be done unto you.”
'i “A careful examination of this
3 j passage makes it even more won
-1 denul than it appears at first
■ | sight,” says Rev. G. Campbell
■ i Morgan. “The word ask’ maj’
j with perfect accuracy be ren-
> i dered, ’demand as your right.'
No violence will be done to the
> i Lord’s words if instead of ‘what
b i soever ye will” we read ‘whatso-
- i ever ye are inclined to.’ Yet
■ i again, the word translated done’
> may be changed into “generat
3ed’; and we have here, as it
■ i seems to me, the most stupen-
dous statement regarding prayer
• j ever uttered. It makes prayer
-■ limitless within limits.”
’ Jesus told his disciples that
. ’ they should keep his command
‘ I ments so that they would con
i tinue in His love. “The test of
i j love on the part of the strong is
i that they bear the burdens of
J j the weak and use their power to
protect and save,” says Rev.
• Louis Albert Banks. "The test
> j of love on the part of the weak
-1 toward the great is that they
J i shall show reverent obedience.
, Whe nwe come to our relation to
- God this thought is brought to
? its perfection.”
nOe particular commandment
- Jesus emphasized, that His disci-
- pies were to love one another,
e He added the statement that
. “greater love hath no man than
e i this, that a man lay down his
e life for his friends.” “Love is the
- greatest thing in the world, and
r Christ’s love was the greatest
e love in the world, and we Chris
e Lians are to love each other as
-! Christ loved us,” says Rev. James
1 I. Vance. “There is nothing high-
; er, holier, diviner than this. It
s | is the tie which is to reunite the
- dismembered human race.”
I Jesus encouraged His disciples
o to realize the closeness of their
f | relationship with God. “Right
e now the greatest need of pro
” fessedly Christian people is a
j | new sense of the approachable
) ness of God.” says Rev. A. Z.
- Conrad. “Remoteness has dim
;|med our vision of Him. Prayer i
; is effectualized through proxim-
■ ity. If God cannot be made con-1
i tactual with us, then all the ■
thoughts of Him are useless, i
Only a God with whom we can j
:: associate is able to communi- i
cate to us either His will or His;
power.”
threatened and most ready to

unclean things enter in with no

When we cease to grow, then
we begin to die. Where there is

Victory Buses Mark
Fifth Anniversary
Sunday of this week marked
the fifth anniversary of the Vic
tory Busses. Five years ago, the
then infant Bus Company oper
-3 ating with three new busses,
f I made, its first runs from La
- 3' Fayette, Menlo and Lyerly into
c | Trion, moving on that first day
’; 301 passengers. Victory Bus Com
" ( pany was organized by Col. Moses
■I E. Brinson, of Summerville, and
3 i L. B. Harrell, of Trion. During
3 j its first year of operation the
3 Bus Company’s major problem
( was to secure enough busses and
! to start enough routes to take
s I care of the people that were ur
-1 gently in need of daily transpor
’ tation. By the end of yiat year
5 the Bus Company was moving
-a daily average of some 2,000
; people, and have in the five
1 years operated 25 busses.
During the past five years
the busses have traveled a total
of a little more than 2,000,000
' miles in low-cost transportation
to the people of this area. Over
• 3.000.000 passengers have ridden
Victory Busses in the last five
years. This figure does not in
clude the soldiers, sailors, and
marines, whose uniforms were
the only tickets they needed
' during the war. Upon entering
' the armed services early in 1943,
Col. Brinson sold his interest in
the Bus Company and the Bus
Company has been under the
ownership, management and
control of L. B. Harrell ever
: since.
Mr. Harrell pointed with pride
i to the fact that although the
. cost of supplies and salaries have
doubled, and in some cases more
: than doubled since the Bus Com
■ pany started in business, there
. has been no increase in the fares
> charged the general public—but
> I that in the instances of some
! classes of fares the fares have
t: actually been reduced. Mr. Har-
- rell stated that it has always
.' been the policy of his Company
tj to pay the highest salaries pos
1j sible to his employees and to
s ( render services to the public at
? ( the least cost to the customer.
1 The president of tire Bus Com
t pany also pointed out the fact
. that the busses had proven
s themselves the very safest, the
s cheapest, and most dependable
. form of transportation offered
t to people of this area.
? Victory Busses run behind
schedule only one time in each
s 50,000 miles of operation. With
r parts and supplies getting more
t plentiful. Mr. Harrell believes
. his Company will be able to say
i| at the end of this year tha:
. busses run late less than one late
trip in 100,000 miles of travel
. Very few car owners can say
. that .they deliver their loads on
time without being late one time
. I in 50,000 miles of operation. Vic
tory Busses had no accidents in
1946 and have featured in only
one major accident (not the Bus;
i Company’s fault) where any pas- !
| sengers were injured.
Asked if he believed that the
busses would continue in busi- i
i ness when cars were plentiful, i
Mr. Harrell stated, “Certainly so.
During the war car owners have!
found that they can leave their !
cars at home and ride to work
cheaper, safer, and more con
veniently on the bus. We have
had many riders leave us to ride
in automobiles who did not stay
gone more than a week before
they were back on the busses
A bus passenger who had left
the bus for an automobile and
had returned told us only last
week that he had found out that
( if he rode to work in a car and
the car broke down he was with
out away to go to work, but if
he rode a bus and the bus broke
down, that he knew there would
be another bus to get him in a
few minutes. Private car owners
have learnd that they wear their
cars out quickly and the depre
elation to them hauling passen-:
gers is so great that they lose!
j money thereby.”
“Too.” stated Mr. Harrell, "the
people are learning that with all
the traffic accidents that are
happening, they are safer on the
bus than anywhere. They also
know that if they are injured
on a bus that they and their
i family will be taken care of— i
while if they are hurt in the
average car, it is just too bad
They also know that the busses
are regularly inspected by ex
perts employed by the Bus Com- i
pany and by Federal and state
inspectors for the safety of the !
public that uses them—whereas j
the private car usually just runs
along until something happens
and then again it’s just too
I bad.”
The first Bus Company driv
! ers were Wade Glenn, out of
LaFayette. who left Victory to
go into the navy; Ted Callahan,
out of Menlo, who left Victory
to join the Greyhound organi
| zation, and A. M. Luke, out of
Lyerly, who left Victory to join
I the air service.

Little Sand Mountain run; Tom
Allison, who now manages the
Bus Company, and Miss Emily
Lack oi any constructive pro
gram which would be helpful
in writing new labor legislation, l
rather than the obstructive
front labor leaders are present- j
ing in both the Senate and the
House Labor Committee hear
ings, bids fair to drive both the
House and Senate to vote for
more drastic labor legislation.
This fact was forcefully
brought to a head in the Senate;
Labor Committee when Sen.'
Wayne Morse (Rep., Ore.,), long
a champion of labor, vigorously
deplored the lack of any con
structive program offered byl
witnesses for the labor organi- (
I zations.
“We are going to have some j
labor legislation. Make no mis- I
take about that. I am going to i
vote for some. I hope I can vote
for good legislation. But if I
have to make a- choice between
no legislation and legislation
which goes too far, I’ll vote for
legislation which goes too far,”
he said.
This position of their cham
jpion rather chilled some of the
labor witnesses. Attitude of labor
! has been against any change
(Whatever in present labor laws,
rather than a co-operative ef
fort on their part to wipe out
some of the inequalities and to
(arbitrate and bargain for the
best, labor law they can obtain
from the Congress.

With hogs hitting new top
price records in Chicago . . .
$27.50 per hundred . . . there are
those in Congress who are say
ing, “We told you so. You voted
to cut out all price controls and (
promised a quick steadying and
decline in prices but, as we fore- j
told, just the reverse is true.”
* * *
On top of the new hike in
meat prices, the bureau of labor
statistics has just issued a new
report showing that wholesale
prices have hit a new postwar
‘peak in the week ending Feb.
15, reaching 143.1 per cent of
the 1926 average.
The wholesale price level now
stands at 1.6 pr cent higher than
in mid-January this year, 33.5
per cent higher than the corre-
I spending week a year ago, 66.4
per cent above 1937 and exactly
50 per cent above 1929. And the j
(price index is blamed principal
ity on the higher prices for agri-
I cultural products . . . that is,
; the food people must buy.

The resignation of Wendell
Berge, trust-busting head of the

men to take important Federal
posts, the senseless eSnate hear
ings on the confirmation of Da
vid Lilienthal’s nomination as
head of the Atomic Energy Com
mission and the activity of the
power trusts against Lilienthal
and other factors combined, led
one veteran newsman who has (
covered the Washington scene 1
for a quarter of a century, to
remark in the National Press
Club recently:
“Today we stand upon the
threshold of a new era of cor

Monopoly and all that it im
plies will be the most important
subject before this Congress be
fore it is many days older. One
cure advanced is by en. Joseph
C. O’Mahoney (Dem.. Wyo.). He
has a bill (S-10) which provides
for a Federal charter or for Fed
eral incorporation as a basic
remedy. Sen. O’Mahoney says a
big modern corporation is a sort
of no-man’s land, responsible to
nobody, too big to be controlled
by the states, insufficiently reg
ulated by the Federal Govern
ment, frequently growing bigger
than the states which charter
them, beyond even the control
of their hundreds of thousands
of widely dispersed stockholders
His bill would:
1. Prohibit directors having
any financial interest in compet
ing corporations or in any cor
poration with which theirs does
business.
2. Disclose to stockholders all
transactions between the direc
tors and the corporation and all I
voluntary payments and alterna
tion of stockholders rights.
3. File with the Department of
Justice a copy of every plan or
program with a foreign, nation
al or domestic corporation, in
cluding contracts, agreements,
property rights, patents and li
censes.
4. Make directors trustees for

the stockholders and individual
ly and civilly liable for corpora
tion losses through violations of
Federal law. ft
5. Give a vote to each share
of stock.
Sen. O’Mahoney says that this
is not tighter legislation, but is
a step toward greater business
freedom.
