Th 1 P Pelham Journal VOL. 22 NO. 4 REVIVAL SERVICES NOW IN PROGRESS Presbyterians and Methodists Unite for Two Weeks. W is¬ dom Sitteas Captivate Hear¬ ers. The union revival services by the Presbyterians and Methodists of Pelham started last Sunday morning. At the Mouday evening service, Rev. Deans and the Wis dom Sisters came into service. Every service proves Rev. C. M Ledbetter’s wisdom in having such singers as the Wisdom Sisters. It is a treat to hear these three ladies. For unity of tone and rythym, aud ! Christian purpose, these sisters can’t be “beat.” At each service they sing two numbers, and they are just the plain Gospel hymns, but sung differently. The sermons by Revs. Deans and Ledbetter compel one to stop and think, while they are also practical for the practical man. Jesus, the Savior of men, is extoll¬ ed as the only Savior. And they have none other to offer, He is sufficient and efficient. The Grace of God is surpeme. Services are held every after noon at four o’clock, and at eight fifteen in the evening. Each night sees a greater crowd present, and friend reader if you are not pres¬ ent you are the loser. No Presby¬ terian service will be held at the Library Hall on Sunday morning, and the Sunday school there will be dismissed sooner, that all be at the Methodist church in time, Sunday being Mother's Day. Rev. J. D. Deans, the Presby teriau minister, will preach the sermon in the morning, and the Rev. C. M. Ledbetter will preach iu the evening.

PELHAM, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1924 MOTHERS DAY Sunday, humanity will touch itstenderest heart-chord. No human mind is of sufficient grasp to comprehend what has been the influence of the mother in advancing the cilvilization of the races of the earth, and in softeniug the hearts and bettering the lives of mankind. Mother love is oue Diviue Sentiment which Ihe Uni¬ versal God has giveu to all people, j>f all races and all re¬ ligions and for ail time. Aud this powerful force operates continuously everywhere for good. No heart is so hard or callous but that it grows tender at the thoughts of mother love. The millon memories in the lives of each of us, and the depths of mother love are but typefied in the women that history and legeud have wrought into the literature of all tongues, aud deeper still into the hearts of all mankind. In the dawn of time we fiud the cave woman in the door of her cave, defending her offspring against the wild beasts, with sticks aud stones as her only weapons. In Biblical times Samuel tells us the story of poor Rizpah, the concubine. How, after her two sous had been hanged, and their bodies cut down from the tree and left to rot, or to be eaten by the coyotes and the vultures, she “took sackcloth, and spread it out for her upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until the water dropped upou them out of heaven, aud suffered neither the birds of the air to rest upou them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.” In our own day, the passing years have failed to wipe away the tears of the millions of mothers who looked up¬ ou their sous for the last time when they gave them a fare¬ well kiss and, sent them away to die for the native land What compensation can one of these mothers find for the loss of her child, when her heart and mind keep turning back to that cold gray dawn when she waited for his birth, with death seated by her bedside? She remembers feeding him from her breast, aud she thinks of other gray dawns when death came back aud hovered at the bedside of her s feontbeL, - Kipling, who has no equal iu this generation in ana¬ lyzing and portraying human emotion, pays homage in|three short verses that constitute one of the strongest appeals for good since the Sermou on the Mount. Memorize these eleven lines, and you will be a better man or a better wo¬ man. MOTHER O’ MINE If I were hanged on the highest hill, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! I know whose love would follow me still, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!' If I were drowned in the deepest sea, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine! I know whose tears would come down to me, Mother o’ mine, O mother o’-mine! If I were damned of body and soul, 1 know whose love would make me whole, Mother o’ mine, O nlother o’ mine! CROP OUTLOOK IS SPLENDID In spite of the late start this year prospects on the farm are unusual ly good in this section. As a rule the stands are good iu all the different crops, and the sea¬ sons for the past month have been favorable, and crops have been growing off rapidly, aud are work¬ ed out clean of grass. Among the visitors in Pelham this week were Mr. Nat. Smith, prominent tobacco farmer of Rocky Mount N. C., and tobacco ware¬ houseman at different points in Kentucky, North Carolina and Georgia. With him was Mr. A. S Johusou, large tobacco grower of Hahira- These gentlemen went over many of the tobacco plots near Pelham, and they were en¬ HURST BROTHERS WILL LOCATE IN FLORIDA Pelham friends will regret to learn that Messrs. C. J. and C. L. Hurst have made definite arrange¬ ments to locate at Winter Haven, Fla. aud will soon move with their families, to make their per¬ manent homes in that city. Responding to very flattering inducements, these young men will establish at that point a thor¬ oughly modern steam laundry. They are locating in a splendid territory, aud all who know their high character, and their energy and ability are without hesitation iu predicting that their undertak¬ ing will be a success. Born and reared in this city, these youug men have unnumbered friends, aud we regret to lose them aud their charmiug families to another section, but the best wishes of all are for their happi ness and prosperity in their '* new home. The Tampa Tribune welcomes them to Florida in a cordial news item which is published below. Winter Haven, May 2. — A large modern laundry establish ment will be erected in this city during May by a new corporation comprised of J. M. Hurst and sons C. J and C. L. Hurst of Pelham Ga., T. S.

Harrell goes the honor of having made the first truck shipment of the year.

MISS MILDRED WALL QUEEN OF MAY Macon papers have several pleas aut notices of the May festivities of that city, and Pelham friends will be interested to read that Miss Mildred Wall was chosen queen of the day at the East Macon festival. She was crowned queen with ap¬ propriate ceremonies before a crowd of more than 500, aud we are sure that she made a kiud and gracious queen. J NESMITH HOME LOST BY FIRE Fire completely destroyed the residence of Mr. C. R. Nesmith on the Old Camilla Road Tuesday night about ten o’clock. Building and coutent9 were partially insured, The younger members of the family were away at the time of the fire, and Mr. and Mrs. Nesmith had retired for the night, aud the fire, which caught from the kitch¬ en t had gained considerable head¬ way before Mr. Nesmith awoke. Such was the headway that only a few pieces of furniture were carried out before the whole buildiug was enveloped. the corporation, with J. M. Hurst C. L. Hufst, T, S.MacLauchlin as directors. >een prominent Georgia business men for som# years, having been part owners of the Hand Trading Company of Pelham, a $1,250,000 corporation, C. J. Hurst will move his family to this city, fune 1. The new laundry will probably be opened late in June.
