ITS ABOUT TIME
The order of Mayor F. N. 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.
Some military experts are trying to forecast the effect
of the atomic bomb upon future wars; these same experts
could not tell us the cour.se of the recent war but there is no

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. •
