SPIRITUAL BLUES UNNECESSARY,
IS LUTHERAN'S VIEW
Looking at the Cheerful Side of
Things Is Easy, Declares the
Rev. Dr. Paul E. Scherer
News and Courier, 1st.
There are approximately '.G^O
churces, missions, chapels anc
places of worship in the five bor .si.s
of New York. Their estimated membership
is more than 2,000,000.
What message are these churches
bringing' to the people ea?h week?
To answer this question The World
will send a reporter to some church
each Sunday morning and will print
on Monday a report of the sermon.
Churches of all denominations, of all
sizes and in all parts of the city will
be visited.
Yesterday the reporter attended
Holy Trinity Lutheran church, 65th
street and Central Park west.
"Spiritual blues^" the essential
difference between an optimist and
- -?onri rwvscihilitv of learn
a ucjajjuiot auu c.
ing to see the cheerful side of things,
were the topics of the Rev. Dr. Paul
E. Scherer at HoI\* Trinity Lutheran
church yesterday morning.
It is as simple as crossing from tPfe
shady to the sunny side of a sireet,
Dr. Scherer told his congregation.
One cause of pessimism just now, he
added, is that people keep their noses
too close to 1922 and fail ; > remember
right has triumphed rhe past
over wrongs a* firmly fatrenchei as
those of the present.
Spiritual Blues
"Nothing in human experience,"
said he, "tends to give a downward
slant to every thought like repeated
private failure to clinch the mastery
of the best in ourselves over the
worst. All ox u? have some notion of
what we ought to be and moat of us
are at swords' points with what we
are. We have lost so long we are by
no mems as confident as we used to
be of what we can be. hThe measure
of the stature of the fulness of
Christ" seems impossible. 'Give us a
goal we can reach!' we cry. And
+Kptp vou have the beginning of a
chronic case of spiritual blues:
"We like to ^read of the life of
Christ in Palestine, but at the idea of
making any remote approach to it
here in New York we smiie and
shake our heads.
%
"Imagine thinking of others more
than of ourselves in the rush hours on
the subway! Things that seem not
unnatural when we read of their happening
in Judea hundreds of years
ago seem utterly foolish when we
think of their happening on Broadway
today. Actually we have come
to take many of Christ's commands
with a grain of salt. We think they
are beautiful but not workable. Even
His great promises seem hardly possible.
'Whatsoever ye ask in My
name, that I will do.' Is there anybody
here who really believes that?
The theory we accept but thy practice
we deny.
"I think it is really all because this
private warfare of ours has gone so
poorly with us. When a man is baten
back day by day, he begins to lose
faith in the ideals that befckon him.
"That is just the point where Christ
comes in. He tells us with perfect
assurance we can win. If you have
to fight, my friend, at least step over
where the Master is, and fight in the
junshi.ie.
Evil on Every Hand
"The conference at Washington is
followed by war in China. The conference
in Genoa almost goes on the
rocks. We read of crime waves and
the loosening of morals and preachers
w 10-babble treasonable nonsense
about the uselessness and immorality
oi* creeds. It ;s pretty hard to
keep our good cheer in the face of
all that.
"When Christ was driven out of
Judea to die He said: "Be of good
cheer, I Have overcome the world.'
"Paul just escaped death at Damascus,
and his* road after that lay
through suspicion, persecution and
death.
"When we count up . ictories the
unanimous vote goes * Jesus and
Paul. I have never yet ; v:. ;; ballot
\ for Pilate or Caesar."
The Rev. Paul E. Scherer, pastor
of Holy Trinity Lutheran church, was
born in 1892 and was graduated from
the College of Charleston in 1911. He
completed his theological course at
Mount Airy 12. 1917 and began his
ministry as assistant pastor in a
church in Buffalo, returning to Mount
Airy for a year as associate professor
?>i chur^i history. In 1:^20 he
succe .cd the Rev. Charles J. Smith,
now president of Roanoke college, as
pastor at Holy Trinity.
A man claims to hav?- a family of
seven children on $65 a month. He
must have had a rich wife.
The world still has many i.K
to worry a^out, but the Hapsbui v
nasty is not one ?f them.
A Sad Plight
The County Record.
j "There will be a meeting of all the
trustees of Williamsburg county at
: the court house, Kingstreet, S. C., on
(Saturday, April 15. at 12:00 o'clock,
i This meeting is called for the purpose
of discussing plans for he next
school year. It will be *h- ^uty of
every trustee to be pre:
The above is a cai1 vsiu-d >y Su|
perintendent of Ediu. .>:i, M. F.
| Montgomery. Last Saturday there
i was a meeting, in response to a sim:
ilar call, for trustees and teachers.
The object of the meeting last week,
as we understand it, was chiefly to
inform the teachers, many of them at
j least, that Williamsburg county was
unable to pay them for their services;
1
I to tell them that they would be ob!
liged to wait (we don't know how
j long, but perhaps indefinitely) for
: their pay.
j* The meeting called for next Satur|
day does not include the teachers.
| The deplorable condition of affairs
j has alrady been made plain to them.
: The trustees are called to this meet
ing, however, to discuss, and perhaps
; endeavor to prevent a recurrence of
;a similar situation next year. We
I hope they will succeed.
It seems that a number of the
school districts in Williamsburg are
"broke" when it comes to a matter
! of dollars and cents, with which to
; pay the teachers their salaries. 'i'Mv
'condition is nothing more than va- .
to be expepcted when a law was pus.-ed
granting an extension of time i " :
! the payment of taxes. Usually there
lis only a sufficient amount levied to j
j defray, meagerly in many instances,'
; the running of the district school
: for a few months. Unless this tax
| levy is paid promptly there are no !
! funds with which to pay the teachers
; and keep the school going.
It is a fact that there are these
' in some of the districts who don't
i care a whit whether the ^school runs
~ ?v - ? v. vvrUs\-f -f ^"1 O "f n / h ? V O" ?>
; OI' siups, UI nucuici i/.iv ,
! her pay or not. This is rather a ifd :
plight when we call to mind th? hun-;
i dreds of children in this county who 1
, are being deprived of th? fundamen-1
i tal training that a chantry school af-j
| fords. It is a condition to which may j
be attributed the large number of:
. grown-ups who, when '.-ailed upon to :
write their names hav* to do so by,
; "touching the per" or making ''his
j mark." The registration books of ;
Williamsburg prove this condition' of j
' ignorance.
Are we, never going to get away;
; from this humiliating scourge ? -Aj
| condition that belongs to the dark i
ages. The only safe and sure way!
j to do it is to prov:de yo -.r d.'Strctj
'with the best to be had in the way!
. of schools and to do this i;'requires;
cooperation on the part of every man, j
woman and child in the district. Fur-j
ther it requires tnat unselfish r.nd
.'liberal spirit which should pLice;
^oro'.il tmof ItS '
i d^auui auu cuv w j
,'progeny above dollars :>nd cents, or,
the levying of a sufficient amount of;
taxes for the exclusive purpose of
conducting a well equipped school
for a term-of seven to r-ine months.
J I
in the year, each succeeding year,:
1 without ever having to face the humiliating
necessity of calling your
teachers together merely to inform
them that they will have to wait for ,
their pay or close the schools, for,
there is poor incentive to service as?
a teacher or any other class of lai
bor when the matter of compensation
i is an indefinite quantity.
i It should be borne in mind that
'it takes money to successfully conduct
any business; that* the schools
of Williamsburg county are her biggest
business, her greatest asset. Educate
your children, at .least see to
it that they have the^ advantages
of a good public school. The price
of an ordinary pig or calf each year
; will provide the means under the
urc-ent system of levying school tax
es. Don't ulace the pip: or the year!
lin^r above your child's education.

In Memoriam
0? the 14th of April, 1S22, God
j called our precious mother away ;-nd
| made that day a day of sorrov ;ind
mourning, until we be permittci
abide with her again, and in memo-,
of Mrs. Amos D. Berley, our departed
! mother, these lines are written.
i
. Dear mother, thou art gone,
j Gone 10 thy ^weet and previous rest,
i Where you can be at home.
iAnd where disease doth not molest.
i i
Thou didst suffer so lon?. i
But yet now we know it was best,
Because without a ?roan
Thou didst become heaven's guest,
i ' j
, If we could we would not
i Call thee hack to this weary land.
For here trials are our lot,
But there thy rest must be so grand.
jAnd we hop-* to .neet-thee
In thy prec^us ami heavenly home.1
i Where we can always
A blue hen's c -ns never show
.the white feather.
? * *
! With thee and from thee never roam
i
I
True, lonely is the house
That was brightened by thy face.
But thou only left us
! To reap the glory of God's grace.
So, too, v? hope to be
j When God so wills our time and day
j]n God's glory with thee,
i To serve our Lord and with thee stay
j
, Mother, thou hast left us:,
And thine absence we deeply feel.
'Twas God that bereft us,
. And he can all our sorrows heal.
All we knew, that we did
To keep thee with us here below,
But thou left us at God's bid,
For heaven, thy sweet home, to go.
i
; So, too, we all must go
! When God sees fit to call us home,
But sorely we miss you,
Knowing thou art forever gone.
t ." V"
Yet your life we bcj
- - - -- ? - J
And while God saw !:: r " aemea,
i And home your sou! he cued,
Still bright the thought, "In pe?c<
; you died/'
[
But we know Go^l knows b??t,
And thou no longer pains must bear:
Heaven's of more interest since thou
Hast made the "sweet home" there.
New life hast begun,
Ar.d in heaven do thy feet tread,
our work below is done
A; d this is why we call thee dead.
While we see thee no more
Here below on this earthly sod,
"There remaineth therefore
A rest to the people of God."
Yea, from us thou hast goi.e.
And a voice we all loved is stilled,
A vacant place is in our home
That can't and never will be filled.
t ?
Now, sleep or* dear mother,
And take thy much desired rest,
No longer here suffer,
God called you home. He thought it
oest.
*
So we bid you adieu, -.k
Where we hope to meet you
In His kingdom forever blest.
Written by a daughter-in-law, *
Mrs. Sam Berley.

A Teachery
Abbeville Press and Banner.
- -- 1 3 - i* Maw
W 6 nave, or riau, a vjiccAcj,y.
why not have a Teacher,y? There is
no reacon why We should' not; in fact
we have one. Why not put it intc
operation.,,
Speaking more to .the point, if not
more seriously, we all knoyfr that the
matter of securing proper-accommodations
for. the teachers who come to
Abbeville to teach in the city schools
from one year to another has been,
and still is, a matter of'^serious import,
though in the last year or twc
it has been less difficult to find places
for the young ladies. A good man3
young women in other towns whc
are situated as are the yoting ladies
here have been accustomed to having
a home together in their school terms
We believe that is the solution oi
our troubles in Abbeville, and thai
we should adopt the solution withou
more ado.
With the building of the new higii
school there will be no need, cer
'tainly for a few years, for the pres
VniilHino1 on Green
Ciil ill^Xi OV14WA
ville street. That building has a
number of large rooms, and with 2
little work, it could be made an idea
*
place for a home for the teachers
The basement could be easily arrang
ed for bath-room-. bath-room:
might be installed Uj>s.:airs on the
first and second stories. The building
:s already heated, and .it can be
made, most comfortable. Of course
it would be well to take ofi the mag
Inif.cent dome now on the building
and make a plainer rofo, but we be
lieve we could do without the dome
It has cost enough already to get ric
'of it.
And there need be no trouble abou
i-i
the management, iwo or tnree le^u
':rs could be appointed as an execu
I LIv'e committee to have charge of th<
running of the home, and a suitabli
house keeper might be provided, o
other places," take it ironth abou'
looking after the business affairs o1
the undertaking. If the executive
committee could not apree, Majoi
Fulp, who is soon to become a res!
dent of Greenville street, would b<
handy fo: consultation. If he couldn''
givt- *right kind of advice, w(
i kr. J Mrs. Fulp could.
? : -it? building either a nomina'
ireni-t. or no rental at all need be
I
. charged. In this way the expenses 01
| the teachers could be reduced while
they were being made to feel tha'
! tr e in their ova home and nol
; :v- evils about the premises o]
oth^i t eople.
i Of course there would be rules
about the running of the Teachery.
i The present high school teachers, i 1
i
they are with us again, would not be
J allowed to have company more than
: seven nights in a week, and if one of
Ithe callers happened to be from out
; of town and came in a new car, he
| would not be allowed to put it in
ithe garage without paying rent. If
| any two teachers fell in love with
, Amos Morse they could be kept on
{'different floors and be made to take
.; their meals at different tables. Other
j matters of equal moment could be
worked out, we feel sure, and we
j hope to see the plan in operation.
If the teachers for any reason do
j not want to take the responsibility
! of running the Teac-hery the building
: might be rented to some refined busI
in ess woman at a small rental, with
; the understanding that the amount of
J board was to bo limited to a certain
| amount.
TVinr> no-air if the teachers are not
; v>v, --
: prepared to furnish their own rooms,
! it will jse remembered that Korp.
! Kerr, one of the trustees of the
' schools is in the furniture business
;and is a candidate for reelection,
j Of course the greatest advantage
j of all to he gained by adopting this
? scheme would be the fact that all the
j teachers > would reside on Greenvills
j street, where, if they did not already
know everything, they would soon
; jlearn.
The Only Way to Know
; Greenwood Index-Journal.
! When you ariTreading a newspapei
| or a book and conjsxo word, a name
: or a reference aboutv which you know
! little or nothing, what do you do
' pass on or get uo and find the dictionary
or reference book and fine
j out, or do -you juit say, as did a fine
old man who once lived in this coun
: try. "Big word/' and go on?
A different practice and the correct
one, is thus described by the
.''Kansas City Star:
| One night recently an old lady was
! found with hef newspaper, an encyclopedia,
an atlas and two maps
I spread out before her. The inquiry
j of a visitor revealed that she hac
: to do with an unfamiliar section "of
| Europe and a former ruler whosf
relationships were not well known.
"You don't havftytime for that kind
[ of thing in reading a paper, do you?'
i-the visitor asked, looking at the sources
of information on display.
"How else may I find out .what I
1 * 1 x-i.. e.01-/q
don't Know; trie uiu i?u\ d?m.
r There w^is only <^e answer to hei
j question. The onlt*- way to get the
"knowledge desired involved some ini
convenience, some time also. A great
many persons don't^x-sre to be troubled
by such matted In reading a
(; book or paper tKe^follow the easj
course of parsing over names, words
-1 and references about which they
,-know little or noting. It requires
^an effort to get up and pull down the
, distionary, a map or some reference
, book; so the matter is allowed tc
to pass.
. A vast fund of information, useJful
knowledge, is lfuilt up through
.'steadv efforts of years. The efforts
