PEARSON TRIBUNE. PubliHhed Weekly by Tribune Publishing Company. Member 11th District Press Association B. T. ALLEN, Editor. Watered at the Roxtoflifo in Pearson. < icorgla, a« mall matter of the second class. Bub»crlptloa price, 81.00 a year In advance. ' N> 4 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.
