The closed verdict was returned by the jury about 4 o’clock Thursday after noon after about three hours’ delib eration. The trial of Adams on numerous counts, which grew out of the failure of the Laurens bank early in 1928, be- When about to graduate from col lege the mother of a classmate asked the privilege of giving to the two young men three rules for happiness, j With all solemnity she stated them as j “Work, Work, Work!’’ Eight selected verses or portions of Scripture are given for intensive study and all are I printed in full in the various helps. I They are to be studied both singly and i collectively and are Genesis 2:15; Ex- |odus 20:9; Nehemiah 6:3; J^ohn 5:17; 9:4; Acts 20:33-35; 2 TTiessolonians 13:6-12; Ephesians 4:28. Work is far more than the means of obtaining a living in this world. It is man’s friend and solace. In “Katrine,’’ by Elinor Macartney Lone, the inci dent is told of two children who were punished. The girl cried the rest of the morning but the boy went out to make swings. Then Josef says of the (hardest kind of work, “It’s a great I gospel—that! I wish I could teach it to every woman on earth. Don’t cry! Make swings!’’ The day is past when anyone thinks that a man can be both pious and lazy. These eight Bible ref erences are all to the contrary. Adam was started right when Je hovah directed him to be a good tiller of the soil. The old saying has a mod ern application that “Satan finds some 'work for idle hands to do.” It is an honor to clasp the hardened hand of a toiler and it is also good when the flabby handed get the idea that honest toil is honorable. The title insists that useful work is a Christian duty. Emphasis is given to the necessity for six days of toil that preceded the Sabbath rest. The Hebrews were ab solutely right in requiring that each son learn a trade and the daughters were taught to excel in their own spheres. Work is opposite llrom sel^ fishness, for therein a reasonable re turn in value is given for every dollar received. It is fine when one is so ab sorbed with the task in hand that they give a similar reply to that presented by Nehemiah: “f am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down.” Jesus declared that He must act in harmony with the Father Who was Architect as well as Builder. The Naz- arene toiled as a carpenter and learn ed a practical sympathy for all others who wrought by their labor. He was also a Kingdom-builder during his en tire public ministry. He had much to do in his 33 years on earth but at last he could say, “It is finished.” Paul was a good tentmaker as well as a heart-searching preacher. To the Thessalonians he said, in our golden text, “If any man will not work, neith er let him eat.” rank. Laurens lodge has promised to be present. It is the desire of the local officers that every Pythian make it a personal affair and ceme otkt that night. The hour has been changed to eight o’clock to allow the Anderson mem bers time to get here.
