Friday, July 30, 1937 THE CHURCH AND POLITICIANS lb-fort* many months another political orgy will descend on uh horn In Hontli CaroUnu. Perhaps il would bo hctici to call It tt circus, with the Btuti- campaign furnishing the main attraction (the big tout) while th? county cutnpalKii may ho likened unto the hide show Already those aspiring to higher at a to offices aro boating tin* huahoH, while the loeap poll!Ii laiiK aro pricking up tholr earn for any rail that might come from the dt-itr people for their services In any capitclly. from tho biggest office tho people of tho c/mnty have to till to the smallest Joh In tholr hands. A custom has grown up within tho past few yours which wo fear will constitute a meanco to that holy Institution. that is tho Invasion of tho church, and even tint pulpit, hy politicians. Wo have always boon taught to believe that a church is a building erected hy the devout people of that particular faith to bo used for the worship of our Creator, to afford lacilltlerf for the teaching of the word of tiod, and to truln tho feet of little ones along the upward road. Never did we think that the edifice was Intended to be used us a stamping ground hy candidates for office, or that the pulpit might he utilized for the furtherance of the ambition of those seeking favors at the hands of the voters; hut somehow some of our churches have apparently lent them-1 selves lor those purposes No matter how fervent and Insistent the Invitation might he. nor how loudly he may declaim his righteousness, we cannot help hut helle\ r that the appearance cd a candidate for office in a pulpit not of his own church is a misuse of an Institution bullded for holy purposes; and. to our mind, the offense Is not ameliorated, hut rather aggravated when such use Is made of the chur< h hy one who has held high position and is seeking high position, and because thereof possesses extraordinary drawing power. It seems to us that on Important church occasions there are enough consecrated ministers and laymen not engaged In politics to bring to the congregations inspiring messages, and when a politician. great or small, travels Into communities and appears In the pulpit. no matter how strong his protestations to the contrary, nor how Innocent he may feel about it, he Is using Clod s house to further his personal aims What more right has a politician to use the church than had the money-changers to Infest the Temple?

THE SEVEN WONDERS Nearly everyone has heard of the seven wonders of the world, but prob-j ably few could tell what became of! them. Those interested in such things might clip this out for their scrap book. The seven wonders of the world were so named by Antlpater, a writer of Palestine, about 100 B. C., as follows : The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, destroyed in 484 B. C., more than 100 years before they were listed among the wonders. I he T em pie of Diana at Kphesus, burned In 262 A. D. I ho Statue of Zeu at Olympus, destroyed in 408. The Colossus of Rhodes, sold for junk In 653. The Lighthouse of Pharos at Alexandria. fell in an oarthquake in 1375. The Mausoleum of Artemisia destroyed in 1402. The Pyramid of Cheops, the onlyone of the "Seren Wonders" still In existence. Such were the seven wonders of the ancient world. Many lists of modern wonders have been made, but a recent writer selects not the pfrlshable Rotary Notes At the Thursday luncheon of the Camden Rotary club, Professor Lexle (Jolsehheimer, of the ColloKu of Charleston, presented a most lnleiesliiig talk on our recent government trends, explaining these trends by an analyti< al discussion of the philosophical and economic forces which are -bringing them into being. Julian Jacobson, of Mobile, Ala., who, like Mr. Oeisenhelmer, Is a native of Camden, was also a guest at the luncheon. Other guests Included .1. C. Mitchell, of Charlotte, and Ren Heath, of Camden. Tommy Scaffe, of the Spartanburg club, was the only visiting Rotarlan Those visiting other clubs during tin- past week were A C. McKaln, who attended a meeting or the Hen-j dcrsonvllle club; Rill Nettles, Jr., who attended a meeting In RlBhopville; Robin Zenip, In Miami, Florida, and J. M. llofTer, in Lancaster, Pa. CAUGHT THEM FOUL Some years ago the pastor of a church in a rural district of Missouri shepherded a flock, some members of which were in the habit of leaving the house while he was yet in the middle of a discourse. This was an eyesore to the reverend incumbent and when, one day, a visiting brother volunteered to preach for him, he felt called upon to speak of the annoyance. "Oh, I'll stop that!" was the reply. Til warrant you that no one leaves until I'm done." Accordingly he Introduced his sermon with the follow* lng: "My friends, before 1 begin my sermon I wish to make a few not irrelevant remarks. You all know that a vessel when full Is full, and to continue to pour into it is folly. Some vessels are capable of holding a great deal, while others, again are easily tilled. So it Is with men's headB, and it is possible that some of you may become full before I'm through. If so, I want you to feel at perfect liberty to leave." The sermon lasted an hour and a quarter, but not a mortal stirred. "Do you know," said a young man afterward, "I had a team of restless young horses outside, but I wouldn't have gone out to look after them for $100." WHAT ABOUT YOUR BOY? By G. C. Brown in Walterboro Press and Standard) The desire for adventure stung them. Wild passslon became too strong for reason, and they resolved to play a bold and lawless game. First one night was appointed for the daring feat, and then another, and at last, they settled on a certain time. All was still, and they waited and trembled at the thought of crime. Suddenly a lurid flash and a muffled report. dull and heavy, then a terrible hush?and their first crime was a matter of record. That the future destiny of the child is always the work of the parents is proven by the fact that, of all the adult male criminals, as shown by the records, not two in a hundred have entered upon a course of crime who have li\ed an honest life up to the age of twenty. Almost all who enter into crime do so between the ages of eight and sixteen. Father, what about your boy? Plato seeing a child do mischief in the street, went forth and corrected his father for it. Are you too occupied with material things to set a good example to your son and to inculcate reverent deportment upon him? Are you too busy for love and care and watchfulness of will to repel temptation? Mother, are your days so filled with bridge parties, committee meetings and social affairs that you can find no time to train your boy in the way he should go; to select his books and his associates, and to teach his trusting heart a prayer? The characters of the young are formed in the home and the destines of men and nations are shaped by the hands of mothers. "Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain " works of man. but the discoveries and inventions which have revolutionized civilization. He names the radio, the telephone, the airplane, the antiseptics, spectrum analysis and radium. Whether his list Is the best that might be made or not, the wonders mentioned will survive as long as humanity exists, bestowing untold benefits upon mankind.

Professor Harold F. Clark, In charge, of educational economics at Columbia's Teachers College, undertook his study in un attempt to devolp means of guiding students more accurately Into puying professions. He concluded that a banker could Invest safely $108,000 in a budding doctor on a promise of receiving all of the physician's future earnings. The average life span for a doctor is 42 years,, it was estimated.' .On a similur busts Clark figured the following "safe" investments In other professions: f \ Dentistry, $95,400; engineering, $92,300; architecture, $82,500; college teaching, $29,700; skilled trades, $28,000; joprnullsm, $41,500; ministry, $41,000; library work, $35,000; public school teaching $29,700; skilled trades $28,000; nursing, $23,300; unskilled labor, $15,200; farming, $12,500.
