McCorkle for the arrest and prosecution of men, boys or other persons who use firearms in the city, together with instructions to confiscate all weapons owned by offenders should, it is hoped, put a stop to the practice of boys engaging in target practice and property de struction with small caliber rifles. For some time past there have been repeated complaints of small boys armed with rifles shooting the glass insulatbrs from light poles, also slaying song birds, besides causing other damage through . the use of the weapons. The loss to the light department in insulators apd bulk replacements amount to hundreds of dollars yearly. The narrow escape from death of a Camden woman last week when a 22 caliber bullet grazed the top of her head as she stood in the kitchen of her honie, caused the mayor to act promptly in ordering the chief of police to enforce the ordinance that prphibits the use of guns within the city limits. The citizens of Camden can cooperate with the authori ties by promptly reporting offenders against-the city ordi nance. DON’T SELL YOUR WAR BONDS Camden and Kershaw county have backed the war effort by buying war bonds in large quantities, going well over the top of the assigned quota each time. But when the war ended, many people got the idea that now was the time to cash in their war bonds. As a result they went W their respective banks and cashed in their bonds. Tl^ese people should realize that the government still needs our money. Just because the guns have ceased to thunder is no reason for recalling your money from Uncle Sam. Remember this—U. S. government bonds are the safest and soundest of investments. As you supported the war effort, w'ont you please support the conversion period. Don’t cash your bonds, unless it is absolutely nece.ssary.

Wanted; More Girls To Be Hostesses At Service Center AnnonnceiDeat it made of re- • a vision of rule*^—Overseas men now coming. The family is the fundamental unit of society, and is therefore of more importance than the church, the state, or the social order of which it is a vital part. Every force which encourages the breakdown of the sacred relationships of the home and family is set for the destruction of society itself. Men have too often chosen to go the way of the flesh, and therefore they have disregarded God’s plan and purpose. But the home is just as sacred as ever in His sight, and brotherly love^still finds a high place among tne virtues of real men. The family comes before us as we cemtinue the study of Joseph’s life. As we study it we bear in mind Jo seph’s. dealings with his brethren, who as yet did not recognize him as the one they had sold into captivity. He was bringing them kindly but deflnit^y to the point of real repent ance, so that he bould show himself gracious to them. To do so he had brought disaster upon them. Being happily on their way homeward with a new supply of food, they were overtaken and proved to be thieves, and Benjamin, the beloved of their father Jacob, stood condemned to death by their own words. In that crisis the mouths of the others seemed closed, but Judah, who had really saved Joseph’s life (Gen. 37:26, 27), and who had appar ently Anally come to himself as a man of essential goodness, pleaded for Benjamin’s life. That plea presented a truly sac- riflcial brotherly love, as he mani fested I. Courage (v. 18). Easy rests the yoke of family life as long as all is joyful and pros perous. But when adversity strikes, when sorrow comes, or sickness, or sin, then th* true test of devotion is at hand. It was a brave and manly thing for Judah to stand before the one whom he knew only as the man vgho was "even as Pharaoh.’’ The Cir cumstances were all against him. He expected the flaming anger of the offended ruler. His brethren had collapsed in despair. It was,one of those dark hours which come to every family when someone must demonstrate true love by being strong-hearted and fearless. II. Intelligence (w, 19-29), We have become so accustomed to'accomplish-ing things by the use of words thiit we are in danger of substituting speech for action. Even in times of sorrow or need we send a well-worded card or telegram, and regard our mission as accom plished. Words have their place, but there comes a time when they must be coupled with int’elligent action. Crises call for more than a cheerful smile or an encouraging word, much as they may mean in such an hour. We must be prepared by our close contact with our loved ones to speak and act with vigor and as surance. III. Self-denial (w. 30-33). One step deeper goes the devotion of this man to his father and his brother. He had done no wrong that merited punishment, but evidently his brother Benjamin had been guilty. Had he been of the spirit of Cain he would have said, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” and let him an swer for himself. Why should Judah'^ suffer for another? Why should he allow himself to be imprisoned in a stranga land to save his father from sorrow and his brother from what seemed to be the just reward for his deeds? Thus reasons the man of the world, but such is not the language of the true brother. He s vs, "Let thy servant abide instead of the lad as a bondman.” Well and cour- .ageously spoken! IV. Love (v. 34), Love for father and brother under lies all of the courage, conviction and self-sacrifice of a man like Judah. In his younger years, and possibly under the influence of hia brothers, he had failed in that re spect, but now his real devotion to his brother was evident. , ,That affection was a real, powers fill and beautiful thing, and yet it is 'but "i faint prefiguring of the affec tion of the One who “sUcketh'closer than a brother,’’ who "though he was rich, yet for your sakes he be came poor, that ye through his pov erty might be rich” (Prov. 18 24 n Cor. 8:9). Let us improve the opportunity to review our relitiqu^ with our own family, to determine whether there is aught that we in intelligent and courageous self-sacrifice should do for our own. Concern for .^family will pay rich dividends, especially in these days of broken homes and disturbed ^rsonal relationships. Lots will do more than anythinf else to hold us together. • Announcement Is made this week by Mrs. Granger Gaither, chairman of the. Camden Service Center that to morrow, Saturday, Sept.
