No finer climate in the world
than that we've been enjoying in
South Georgia the past month.
The Georgia colony in Sow
York City will celebrate Georgia
produets with a dinner furnished
from South Georgia. The Ins!
of everything eatable is grown
down here in (Jod’- eotinf ry.
The suggestion eunes from
Americtts that a South Georgia
Chamber of ( ommeree be organ
ized. The Tribune .sees no tie
eessity for such oigaui/.at ion.
What is needed is a Glia tuber of
< 'ommeree in ca li city an \i liarj
to file State Chamber of Com
metre. I'earsou bn im -s men
should get busy anil see that the
eity has sueh an organization.
"The Sabbath was made for
man’’ says the Hook, and it was
wisely made to lit every condition
and emergency In life. Men nalttr
ally want to escape, ever ami anon,
and rest front the grind and dis
tressing I houghtspertaining to rou
tine life. God, In Hi- Inlii dt
mercy, foresaw this and provided
a Sabbath —one day in seven. In
this period*of time man can com
inline with the Author of all good
and secure pli.v■ icial and -piritnal
rest —a diversion that points them
forward to that sweet Sabbath ol
rest beyond life's fitful level.
The suggest ion that Georgia be
divided into North Georgia and
South Georgia did not emanate
from a penny a-liner or newspaper
“copy producer'’ as has been al
leged, but from lion. Jacob S.
< 'oilins one of I In 1 most asl ut e and
successful business men of Savan
nail. Jakie sees every t hing through
business glasses anil with an eyi
to.success. He has made a busim s
success for himself, and is now en
gaged in a campaign for business
success for his beloved city of Sa
vannah. Had the suggest ion met
a responsive chord in the state,
and division resulted. Savannah's
business success would have been
assured without further effort.
Tlie best of Georgia is smith of
Macon and, with division. Savan
null would be the metropolis, all
roads could easily be made to end
in Savannah and the eity caused
to grow by leaps and bounds. Yes.
.lakie, had an eye to business
when he made the suggestion.
Editor Henri Watterson. of the
Louisville tKy.) Courier Journal,
is a practical economist, and sag
gests that the fanners utilize their
idle moments, now spent at the
cross roads store, in knitting sot l.s
for the soldiers, so that the sol
diers can have more socks. U is
immensely practical ami reminds
the Tribune man of practical life
during the war of the sixties. He
was a boy, should have been in
school, but the school business
was down and out. 11 is mother,
busy woman, looking after the
proper clothing of many slaves on
a big Brooks county plantation, in
order to keep him out of mischief
and trouble, introduced him -to
many prevalent industries nete
sary to the welfare of a big plan
tat ion. In tho big plantation
workhouse, where negro etching
was manufactured, he was taught
to knit. sew. spin, weave, cobble
and make hats from palmetto,
wiregrass and piue.-iiaw. lie lei.
Inundated at the time, but the
knowledge and discipline gained
has proved valuable to him. Mr.
\\ alters,m's suggestion though
humble is a good one. as we will
learn later on should the war last
for two or three years.
Thanksgiving
President Wilson has proclaim
ed the iast Thursday ins!an* as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
Indeed bis proelamat ion isiiili. ren*
from those of recent years; it im
pliasizes the great nece-sity hi
feds for a real, thoughtful, prayer
ful thanksgiving.
This crisis, through which the
world is passing, is in the hands of
the great Ruler of the Universe;
the American nation lia> become
involved in it, brought into it fin
some great purpose in the divine
economy; just what that great
purpose is does not yet appear,
but the people should prepare
themselves by much prayer and
supplicat ion to be used of Go I in
carrying out His great purposes.
President Wilson has as! -u i lie
prayers of his people that.- he may
lie divinely guided in pa-.sing upon
I lie issues and devi iopments of
this gigantic struggle. He wants
•l ight and js t ice to prevail and I
God's name honored. Shall his re-1
ipiesl be granted! The Tribune |
sees the necessity for something
greater than hum,.it v.isdom to j
guide our leaders in litis great em
ergency and it beseeches t he people |
within tin- radius if ils influence,
to come together with one ai nil,
in one place, on the appointed day
and fasting ami prayer, make sup
plication ihal they may lie end nr
ed with w isdom and power which
comes from God.
Besides, this people have great
reason to give thanks on this
Thanksgiving Hay. God lias ble :
sell I hem w it li a beaut if:il Im r.
while the nat ions of ini rope, wind It
er engaged in the war or not, are
on the verge of starvation, they
have plenty ami to spare; while*
Hie nations of Europe are in the
midst of distress and sorrow, they
are bit-soil with licit!) and are
care five: while (tie people of Lii
rope are, for the most part, seris
and slaves of i»oreile-d; m;e-b-rs.
they are soverigns, resting unilei
their own castles where none dare
enler without their permission.
Glorious America! Proud pci
pie! May they never forget God.
but.give Him honor, glory and do
minion forever,
William Sunday
The Tribune man is a strong bo
liever in the Christian religion,
lie believes in God the Rat her,
God tin* Sou and God the Holy
Spiril. He bclivos in the Christ
who made an atonement for sin,
that salvation comes by faith in
and acceptance of that atonement,
lie believes in the Church that
the Christ established while on
earth, that is the medium through
which all Christ iau work should
he done, and there is no promise
that any other will be honoring
to God or honored God, and he
shudders in contemplation of the
performances of W illiam Sunday,
now being enacted in Atlanta,
under the name of religion, lie
has no patience with the claim
that it is. or can be, a revival of
religion.
The report of tilt' .Macon Tele
graph’s Atlanta eorrespon tent,
publishi d Wednesday if tr.it>
shows the whole performance to
be the works of the devil. (; : i
ing upon God to damn the Ger
mans and the other enemies ot the
entente allies is dishonoring to
Cod. who taught iis to “love our
enemies bless them that <• ui-• ■
you. do good to them that hate
you, atnl pray for them which de
spitefully use you, and pus-mute
you." The contrast is like the
distance from the east to the west.
The w hole business is blasphemy
run riot, and the Tribune is ama
zed that tilt' true followers of
Christ in Atlanta give counten
once to sttehdemonstrations, if, in
deed, they do. However, the im
pressjon has gone out through
Georgia that Atlanta religionists
of every name had united in bring
ing Sunday to Atlanta. This im
pression will remain until it is
repudiated.
As the Tribune views Sunday 's
| gyrations it is nut a wliit above
the dance hall, the gaming house,
the vaudeville and other institu
tions of evil tendency, and the
only result that can be expected
to come from it is to drag his fol
lowers on 10 a level with such
things and ti\ in their minds the
falsehood that it is religion.
May God have merev on and
forgive W illiam Sunday hi> sin.
and may the Holy spirit lead him
to see his Gou-hishonoiing mis
take.
