HEREAFTER.
“Why do I have so much
trouble? lam a Christian. 1 try
to live right”. That question has
been asked Ilie writer many
times in the midst of his evange
listic campaigns. Why did Job
have ti ouble? He was a good man.
He feared God and hated sin. He
lost all he had. His children were
taken. He was sorely afflicted
physically. His friends did not
knowhow to comfort him, and
his wife^urged him“to give up the
game”. “Curse God and die ’, she
said to him. God’s people have
always suffered. It is not a sign
that God is not with a man be
cause he has trouble. Sometimes
it is a sign God is witli a man.
Jesussaid, “Blessedare ye when
men shall revile you and perse
cute you and say all manner of
evil against, you falsely for my
sake”. He taught that we should
rejoice and be exceessding glad
that we have trouble.
There are two reasons why a
Christians should rejoice when
he has persecution. First he is in
good company. “So persecuted
they the prophets that were be
foreyou”. It isa wonderful thing
to belong to the company of
prophets. Elijah, Elisha, John
the Baptist, and Paul were all
members of this fraternity. In
the modern world all soul-wiii
ners like Moody, Finney, Whit
field, Wesley, Martin Luther,
Knox, Sam Jones, Billy Sunday,
and hundreds of others, great
and small were initiated into this
fraternity of the persecuted. It is
a wonderful brotherhood. It is
nice to belong to it. Second, “For
great is your reward in heave*”.
For all the persecution and op
position and trouble a Christian
has in this world he will have an
offsetin heaven. A Christian loses
his money. His fortune is wreck
ed. Why should he worry? What
he loses here he will gain over
there. A saint is lied about,
hounded misrepresented,cursed,
and hated by v icked men simply
because he a saint is doing the
will of God. Why have the blues?
The more cursing we get in this
world the more praises we will
get in heaven. A preacher who
has no cursing here should not
xepect much approval over there.
“If ye river godly ye must suffer
persecution”. Remember those
who reign with Him have to suf
fer with Him. God does not
promise that anybody except
suffering saints will have the
privilege of reigning with Jesus
Christ. Therefore, “rejoice and
be exceeding glad” when you
have trouble and persecution and
opposition and suffering. The
crowning day will come by and
by.

Solons of Four Counties
Want Appropriations Bill
Dublin, Marcli B.—Members
of the house of representatives
from Laurens, Johnson. Wheeler
and Treutlen counties said today
that they were willing to pass an
appropriation bill to get the
situation created by Governor
Talmadge’s “financial dictator
ship” cleared up.
None of tbe legislators had
I
comment to make on impeach
ment rumors, and all appeared
more interested in getting the
state’s affairs in order than n
possible attacks on the governor.
Statements by each of the
representatives from the four
counties follow:
R. I. Stephens, one of Laurens
county’s two members of the
house, said that “common sense
anl decency” should force Gov
ernor Talmadge to call an extra
session of the legislature to pass
an appropriations bill, and that if
the governor continues to refuse
to do so, he would be willing to
attend any session that might be
called for that purpose by mem
bers of the general assembly
themselves.
“No other governor of the
state of Georgia has attempted
to operate the state without an
appropriations bill since the
constitution of the state was
drawn,” Representative Step
hens said. "Every governor from
that time to (lie present, and the
legislature have follow the law
that provide? money shall be
paid out the state treasury only
upon appropriation, and it is now
only through the hindrance Gov
ernor Talmadge forced upon the
assembly to .serve his own selfish
purpose that the state is without
an appropriatins measure. Be
cause of his blocking the appro
priation bill that would have been
passed at the last session other
wise, I, for one, say that the ex
penses of the extra session
should be taken out of his own
pocket.
"I have not notified Senator
Chappell of my willingness to
serve in the event a session is
called by members of the assem -
bly, but Speaker Rivers knows
that I would respond at his call
at any time lie thinks necessary. ’ |
] Representative Rupert Hogan, i
of Dudley, Laurens county’s]
I I Assembly Not Able To
Convene Itself, Solon Says
Macon, March 10—State Sena-
1 tor W. 0. Cooper, of this (Twenty
second) district, declared to the
1 EveningNewsTuesday that “the
1 general assembly of Georgia has
! no lawful power to convene for
1 any purpose, save and except as
provided for by the constitution
of Georgia. The time to convene
in regular session is fixed by
the constitution with the sole
power being vested in the gov
ernor of Georgia to call the ses
sion and he alone.”
“There,” continued Mr.
Cooper, “should the general
assembly meet, except in the
] manner and form provided under
I tbe constitution, anything done
or attempted to be done by the
assembly would be illegal. Such
l movement oo the part of the ।
assembly would be tantamount i
: to a mob proceeding.”
i
I Many friends of Mr. H. S.
II Hurwitz are glad to see him out
II again after being confined to his
room for several days.
Number 4
> other member of the house, said
i that he favors an extra session
' fir passing an appropriation bill,
and will attend in case one is
i called. He has wired Senator
: Chappell to that effect, and in
' dicated his willingness to pay his
own expenses, he stated.
Representative Charles S.
Claxton, of Johnson county, said
that he would be glad to see an
appropriation bill passed and
get this trouble straight?ned out.
Mr. Claxton, saidthathebelieves
the legislature could meet, pass
an appropriation bill and be back
home in five days.
"I am willing to serve without
pay if the legislators will agree
ta pass a bill in a business-like
way and return home.” he said.
Mr. Claxton said that “you
can say that I am willing to do
what I can to get this straight
ened out.”
Representative J. Mcßae
Clements, of Wheeler bounty,
said that he had already notified
Senator Chappell of his willing
ness to serve, even at bis own
expenses, in the events members
of the assembly called the
session.
“While an effort was made to
pass an appropriation bill at the
last session, the people of Geor
gia do not generally recognize
that fact, and believe that it was
done so that an extra session
would have to be called. For that
reason I am willing to to pay my
own expenses in an effort to
vindicate myself and others who,
like myself, were honest in our
efforts to serve the state’s inter
ests.”
James Fowler, representative
from Treutlen county, said that
ho doesn’t “care much” whether
an extia ses ion is called or not,
as he is very busy with his own
affairs, but that if no other
method is found to straighten
out the state’s tangled affairs he
would attend such a session, and
at his own expense, if necessary.
He said that he had not replied
to Senator Chappell.
W. W. Larsen, Jr., of Dublin,
state senator from Emanuel,
Laurens, Johnson and Treutlen,
was in Atlanta Thursday and
I conferred with other senators.
