NOVEMBER 24. 1933 ' NUMBER 35 Ijfethodist Ministers Receive Assignments - I Basing his message on Luke 13: I *35 Bishop W. A. Candler preached BTioul-stirring sermon on "Christ'* l0ne Concern" before an overflow I udience in the high school auditorlittm here Sunday. He said in part: Our Lord used here w<?rds of very | trong emotion, and rises hew to , B ablest heights, none more sublime I in all literature. Christ first makes I? sharp thrust at King Herod, 'Go lull that fox,' and then this was fol| lowed swiftly by a shower of tenderloess upon his own wayward people. | in the effort to analyze emotions they t?nish. Religious emotions are nev. | (r neutral, not even tepid. Religious | convictions are deep and strong, hence external unity in the church is not | jiways possible. Business mergers | #rc common, but such a trend is not B to easy in church life. | "Jesus is here lamenting the sad B spiritual condition of his own people, | the Israelites. We do well to look | into the cause of His sorrow, and so | Inquire into' our own emotions. ] "He did hot lament over the povI wty of His people, great and dis| tressing as that was. He was very kind to the poor, and he was poor | himself. What he warned them of |was the peril of wealth; the sm of | covetousness. We have wept much B over our recent .economic troubles, B but we need to weep over much more B wrious spiritual depression. Francis I Marion hecame immortal eating yams | off a cypress stump. Spiritual re| covery. rather than economic recovery I is our supreme need, t "Jesus was not lamenting the horI rible political corruption of his dhy. Of course he did not approve it, but fl he saw a more fundamental need. I Calvin Coolidge once said: 'I don't tcI call that Jesus Christ was ever seen I in the lobby of Caesar.' He was not I a revolutionist; not even a reformer. I He resufed to be a judge or a divider of material things among men. He I taught: 'A man's life consisteth not I in the abundance of the things that he possesseth.' |" "Nor was he chiefly concerned with I the illness of his people, tho he was a great healer. Even death vanished I in his presence, i ! "Lastly, it is evident that Jesus was ; I far more concerned over the sins of I his people than anything else. They I needed salvation unto life abundant. Jerusalem was the center of the rei I ligious life and worship of the IsraelI ites, but they had lost the word of I God as surely as it was lost in the B days of Josiah. The religious leaders i I were concerned over material things : I and trading was quite a business in i I the Temple itself. In fact Jesus de-. B clared that it had become a den of thieves. Twice he drove the traders I out of the Temple, but they came I back. Covetousness never gets feebI ler by exercise. No wonder their j I hou.-e ,\as left unto them desolate. B "Jcs.. was brokenhearted over the cc?n?h\v-r: of - Israel. ? Religion was I dead .i. (i God was gone from them. I I Is tha" ot the trouble with us now?

G. i'adget of YValterboro a member of the state board of bank control to succeed Burnett It. Maybank, mayor of Charleston, who resigned some weeks ago. W. Smedes fiend ley, well known Insurance mart of Columbia, has been appointed by the governor a member of the. board of trustees of the Columbia hospital to succeed Jesse T. Reese, resigned. Mr. Hendley . was recommended for the post by the Richland county legislative delegation some time ago and the appointment by the governor is pursuant to that recommendation. o U Mr. Reese, who was secretary of the board, has rendered long and valuable service and was with it during the period of expansion and development of the hospital. He served the board faithfully and well and leaves it with a sense of a service well rendered. i J Mr. Llewellyn had served on the relief council which merges with the civil works administration a little more than a year. The volume of that work had grown to such an. extent that he did not feel that he could do^it justice and at the same time attend to his own business in Camden and so he felt compelled to send his resignation, which the governor accepted with regrets, appreciating the work he had done and the many hours of time he had given lo it.?

The Camden Chapter Held Meeting Friday # , An enthusiastic' meeting of the (iamo and Fish Association was held at the Masonic llall on Friday night, November 17th, 1P33. The minutes of the September meeting were read and approved. A report was made by the committee on Aeld trials, and it was decided to go ahead with plans for a field trial confined mainly to hunting dogs, owned by local sportsmen for this year's meet, the time and place for such meet to be reportod on later by the committee. The chairman reported that an exhibit was held at the County Fair by the Camden Chapter, which aroused some interest. M. H. lleyman, chairman of # the committee 011 fish laws, made a report with the recommendation' that [ the legislative delegation be asked to have a closed season 011 game fish up until June 1st, and also a motion was made by Ueas Boykin that the association request the delegation to pass a law prohibiting seining m* Kershaw county for five ypars. This motion carried. Also, there was general discussion of the plan of trying to get some of the dams rebuilt and lakes restocked throughout the county, and'to try and get these projects undertaken upon soipe plan to be worked out as part of the servation .urogram being carried on at this xime by the government. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of three to work on this project. Deas Boykin, chairman of the committee on game laws, reported that the reodmmendations of his committee were that the association go on record as favoring uniform season for hunting, and to try and get the migratory game season within such open season, and also recommend that there be a closed season on deer in Kershaw county.' This report was also adopted. The attention of the association was called to the fact that the game warden was handicapped in being required always to carry offenders before the nearest magistrate, instead of before any magistrate in the coun* ty, and that there were some magistrates before whom it was very difficult to ever obtain a conviction 01 violation of game laws. The association passed a resolution requesting that the delegation for Kershaw county try and effect a change in this law. B. D. Boykin made the motion that the association go on record as requesting some provision to be made foivuaai&UiU. -game .v^kdens to assist in the enforcement of '-the game and fish laws in Kershaw county. This was approved by the | meeting. Motion was made also that the association go on record as favoring some basis by which winter residents owning homes pr property be allowed to purchase resident's licenses, and that some basis be worked out also by which a non-resident could purchase a license for one or two days, or some short period, upon a lesser , basis than the purchase of a non-resident license for $15.00, and also that the association favor the abolishing of a non-resident fishing license. It was also decided upon motion | made by W. R. Bonsai, Jr., that the association have monthly meetings I for the present, and the offer of B. D. Boykin to furnish turkeys for one of the early meetings and of John W. , Wilson to cook the turkeys, was enthusiaetically accepted. All of those present At the supper signed the charter application and all pledged themselves to assist in get- j ting new members of the association and helping to carry out its entire program. More About Shower I At Children's Home j 1 Warren H. Harris, treasurer of the j Associated Charities, has given us the following for publication: "We are more than anxious that you will all remember that on Wednesday. November &Hh, there will be I a Gjft Shower at the Children's Home on Fair street and that tea will be served to all between the hours of two and four o'clock. "We are extremely anxious that this shower will be a success because we so badly need the donations. "Last March when we had our drive for funds we were interrupted almost before we had started by the closing of the banks of the country by the President of the United States and the results we obtained then were not enough to run us through the year. "We hope you will all come and enj^oy a social hour with us."
