VOLUME 1; NO. 16 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1938^ Slider A Greneker—1856-1860 $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE NOT SO HEARTLESS The linotype made us say last week that the welfare board “was feeding a lot of old Negroes who ought to be at work.” We didn’t say it. What we did say before it was garbled was that a lot of bucks were living off the old people’s pension and that they should be at work. But if everybody goes to work and we raise 30 or 40 million bales of cotton—then what! MR. MOORE AGREES Mr. J. O. Moore of the St. Luke’s section was in Wednesday to tell us he agreed with our item about the Kempson’s Ferry bridge. This bridge is causing a lot of inconvenience to Saluda people who shop in Newberry and it might be best for the county to go ahead and build it and keep the approaches in shape. If some thing is not ’ done these people will gradually find trading places some where else and that business will be forever lost to Newberry.

RELIGIOUS IDEALISM BACKLOG OF NATION’S SECURITY THINKS KNUBEL LEAGUE PROGGRAM FOR CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH The fallowing program has been planned for the Methodist League Sunday evening; with John G. Hipp as leader: Subject, “Transplanting a Race.” Objective: To help get a better understanding of the background of the American Negro. Prelude: “Swing Low Sweet Chariot.” Hymn—“Where Cross The Crowded Ways of Life” Talks: “Who Is An American?— Pauline Summer. Why the black man came—Eva James Davis. The Negro in Africa—Ruth Cor bett. The Negro in the New World— Geneva Hipp. . - Discussion Closing hymn—“Open My Eyes That I May See.” Business “Something Is Happening To Christianity Today” was discuss ed in a most interesting manner by the Rev. Frederick H. Knubel, D.D., L L. D., S. T. D., of New York, presi dent of the United Lutheran church in America before the congregation at the Lutheran Church of the Re deemer Monday evening. He was introduced by President James C. Kinard as “a great churchman with a big heart.” “The more the nations of the world try to improve conditions, the worse they are” began Doctor Knu bel, “The Werld war was a blunder but the pelace conditions that fol lowed after the war were more than a blunder. It seems as though men are out today to deceive and master their fellowmen. All around us men are freely predicting the downfall of civilization.” , The speaker continued by saying that the above were the most pess imistic statements that can be made and that they were made because of suspicion and fear but "it is time for us to analyze the facts." “In an effort to analyze the facts,” he said, “it js worth while to recog nize ourselves.” He pointed out that aside from home, a man has three essential loyalties in his soul—the loyalty to his fellowman which re sulted in the social and economic problems of today; the loyalty to his government which presented the political problems; and the loyalty to God wihch caused the religious problems. “We cannot escape these loyalties”, commented Doctor Knu bel, “and it is a perfect life when all three loyalties can live in co-op eration.” “Sometimes these loyalties clash”, remarked the Lutheran church head, “and today they are dashing terifi- caily. The clashing of these three loyalties is what’s happening to Christianity.”^ -^-.,*. -.... The speaker pictured conditions In Russia and Germany as outstanding examples of conflict of these loyalties of man. In speaking of Russia, Doctor Knu bel said, “There is nothing essen tially contradictory between commu nism and Christianity, but Russia has made it so. The communistic social life must be against God. It is advanced that Christianity is that which ought to be destroyed.” He pointed out that in Russia the clash fell between loyalty to one’s fellowman which made the sodal and economical problems, and the loyalty to God which presented the religious problems. Much interest centered in the speak er’s comments on Germany. He re marked that Germany was branded as an outcast after the World war and Germans were asking “where is God?” In 1923 came the rebirth of that nation under Hitler who advanc ed the central idea of the “nation’s worth” and a “strong government” and all Germany fell behind Hitler’s banner. In Germany the conflict is between loyalty to government and loyalty to religion, Doctor Knubel pointed out. Doctor Knubel continued his ad dress by stating that Russia and Germany were just two of the ex amples of communistic and nationalis tic forces. He said that these two forces were spreading everywhere else in the world. “We’re almost be ing driven to communism in America” he said. “As deep-going as these torces are on the surface as compared to Christianity. Christianity is deep. When a man knows God, no matter what’s happening around, he can remain loyal to his religion. You can’t break the bond between a man’s soul and God if it has really been a bond in th e past.” “When Christianity is persecuted, the church grows stronger. There is stronger Christianity in Germany today than there was 25 jrpars ago. Throttle Christianity and it will thrive.” The communistic and nationalistic faiths are merely materialisms and nothing but force. When we see these things in their bare nature, we shirk from them. You don’t suppose materialism and force can kill God? God was prepared for this.” Doctor Knubel stated that the three greatest churches in dom are in the three, n countries. In Russia Ys Orthodox church, in Italy, the Ro man Catholic church, and in Ger many, the Lutheran church. "America was born in religious ideals”, concluded Doctor Knubel, “and as long as our religious ideal ism stays with us we will not be swept away, and today it holds us.” Doctor Knubel has been president of the United Lutheran church in America since it was formed 20 years ago and is also a member of the Lutheran World conference. He has been in this state this week attend ing the convention of the synod of South Carolina in Columbia. Calcote Receives Call From Virginia Church A committe of men, representing Royal Oak Presbyterian church of Marion, Virginia, visited Newberry recently and interviewed Rev. C. A. Calcote with a view of securing his acceptance to a call to that church. Marion church has a beautiful, new building just constructed, clear of debt, a congregation of 650 members, and four outpost organizations. It is understood that Mr. Calcote did not consider the proposition with en tire favor, and no definite commit ment has been made.

Tuesday Is Closing Date For Sign-Up Closing date for accepting late work sheets covering farms operated by 1937 non-cooperating producers has been set as Tuesday, February 8, 1938, states County Agent P. B. Ezell. According to Mr. Ezell, Washing ton officials have warned that nil farms operated in the county during 1937 must be covered by a late 1937 work sheet before they can be given a 1938 cotton base and before they can be given basis for making pay ment under the Cotton Price Adjust ment Payment Plan on 1937 cotton. Only farms that were not covered in 1937 by work sheets are required to complete the late record. Share croppers are not required to fill out work sheets. Land owners renting or aperating farms in Newberry county should pay particular attention to the re cording of base histories and produc tion records covering their farms. In many cases during the present sign up it has been discovered that only partial records can be given by 1937 renters. Experienced clerical workers have been employed at the county agent’s Office to assist farmers in submitting records'. Card notices have been mailed to all known 1937 non-cooperators. Non cooperating producers operating a farm in 1937 not receiving card no tices should call at the County of fice anyway before the closing date..
