America
is Safe with
“Bull” Durham
A gang of Scientists left on a
Boat for a year’s cruise to
study queer kind of Fish in
the South Atlantic Ocean.
They should have stayed here
in New York and went to see
and hear what 1 did the other
day, a real Red Bolsheviki
meeting. They would have seen
queer looking Fish there,Suck
ers, Eels, Flounders, Bullheads,
and every Guy that got up
was a big mouth Bass. They,
denounced everything in
America, The Weather, The
Constitution, White Gloves
for Pall Bearers, Mah Jongg,
Lower Taxes, Suspenders,
Cross Word Puzzles, Shower
Baths, League of Nayons
and Ice Cream Pies. After
looking them all over I found
what was the matter with
them. There wasnt a one
of them knew enough to roll
his own. How are you going
to improve on a Government
if you dont know that much.
Every man you see pouring
“Bull**Durham into h*^ paper,
you can bet he is satisfied with
America, because its the
old right down to earth Amer
icans that do it.
P. S. There is going to be another piece
in this paper soon. Look for it.

Opening Day’s Canvass Amount To
$443. Workers Find Sympathetic
Response Everywhere.
Clinton opened her heart and purse
last Sunday to the campaign for the
relief of the Near East sufferers. The
preliminary work had been effectively
done by Miss Epps and the various
workers associated with her, and the
final preparations made for the
“drive” which was to embrace a can
vass of every home in the city. The
young people appointed to do the can
vassing, entered into their work with
enthusiasm and an interest that
doubtless will be surpassed in few
communities.
I The result of Sunday’s
amounted to $443. Several commit
tees are yet unreported and it is ex
pected that the f.hal reports will
bring the grand total to a still higher
mark. The complete reohlts of the
canvass, and other interesting details
of the wonderful campaign waged
here, will appear in next week’s issue
of The Chronicle.
t
“Wet” Party Forced
To Decamp Hastily
a
- v
Laurens, Doc. 13.—A litle whiskey
distributing party was abruptly brok
en up yesterday afternoon when Sher
iff Columbus L. Owens, assisted by
other officers, raided the premises
around an old sawmill in Dials town
ship. Dispensers and would-be buyers
alike fled the spot 4 posthaste upon
the sudden appearance of the peace
officers but not all the canned liquor
was carried away. Twenty-seven gal
lon sized fruit jars containing home
brew were extracted from the saw‘-
dust and from other hiding pl&tes
after the persons conducting the pre-
holiday sale in a quiet nook had de
parted, probably carrying with tljem
a larger quantity than the quantity
seized by the raiders. Buyers of the
stuff were seen to throw jars from
their cars as they sped from the
trading place and there was general
confusion precipitated by the announc
ed arrival of the prohibition agents.
No arrests were made for the reason
that everybody about the improvised
liquor exchange turned on the gas at
the signal that the camp was about
to be invaded. It is thodght that the
“runners” will have to arrange other
headquarters for their woi*k in Lau
rens county.

the central flgurq for six months.
I. The Wise Men •eeklng Jesus (tt.
1:2). (
These wise men who sought Jesus
were either Arabian or Persian as
trologers. students of the stars. The
appearance of an unusual star attract*
ed their attention. Perhaps they were
acquainted with the famous prophecy
of Balaam (Num. 24:17^- Doubtless
through the Influence of the Jews who
remained In Chaldea, or the direct In
fluence of Daniel extending to this
time, they had become acquainted with
the hope of a Messiah. The light they
had was dim, bat they lived up to the
best they had. We learn from them:
1. That* AH True Wisdom Leads to
the Savior, for He Is the Fullness of
Wisdom.
2. That God’s Word Shall Not Ro-
turn Unto Him Void (Is£ 55:11).
The seed cast upon the Eastern wa
ters brought forth fruit after many
days. This ought to bring conftdencs
to many ministers and Sunday school
teachers who have not as yet seen the
fruit of their labors.
3. The Grace of God Calls Men
From Unexpected Quarters.
Some who have the least opportuni
ties give the greatest honor to Christ,
while other}*, blessed with the richest
opportunities, shut Him out.
II. Herod Seeking to Kill Jesus (vr.
3-8).
The news brought by the wise men
struck terror to Herod’s heart. He
was not alone in this for all Jerusa
lem was troubled with him. A glimpse
at the social customs In and about
Jerusalem In thuf day will enable ua
to understand why this news brought
uneasiness to the people. They were
living in the greatest luxury. Beautl*
ft)] apparel, sumptuous feasts, palatial
houses, etc.. led to gross Immorality.
We can thus readily see why Herod
and ail Jerusalem should be troubled.
They did not want a Savior who would
save them from their sins; they want
ed to continue In them. Herod de
manded of the priests and scribes In
formation as to where Chnst should
he born. They were soon able to tell
him. These people bad a technical
knowledge Of the Scriptures, but had
no heart for the Savior aa set forth
therein. Conditions much like these
prevail today. This' reception of the
Savior shows that perverseness of
heart is the cause of so many being In
different to Christ, and of their oppo
sition to Him when Hit claims are pre
sented. It if true today that the lux
uries- of wealth, the frivolities of the
fashion-lovers, and the gross immorali
ties to which these lead, make Jesus
Christ unwelcome In many quarters.
III. Jesus Found (w. 9-12).
The wise men, having obtained the
desired information, started immedi
ately to And Jesus. As soon as they
left the city the star which had guided
them from the East appeared again to
lead them on—not that It bad disap
peared from the sky, but no doubt the
city buildings shut out Its light. The
stag guided them to the place where
Jesus was. When they found Him they
worshiped Him. In this they displayed
true faith. They did not see any
miracle, only a babe, yet they wor
shiped Him as king. Blessed are they
that have (tot seen and yet have be
lieved Cjohn 20:29). Note God’s over
ruling providence In all this. Many
hundred years tfefore the prophei had
said that Christ should come from
Bethlehem (Micah.~$:2). God so ordered
affairs that* Mary should be brought to
that city to give birth to Christ. Let
us be assured that nothing can thw art
the divine purpose. x God so ordered
that these m^n should depart another
way. thereby defeating Herod’s wicked
purpose. Through theife wise men the
Loty] gave gifts Into the hands of Jo
seph and Mary before their going to
Egypt. Doubtless this served a good
ettpg their eapenee* dur
ing their stay there. TtuIy all things
work together tor good te them that
love God (Rom. 8:28).
