FRIDAY, JULY », 1»«6
ARE ANATHEMA TO THE SOUTH
Walter Winchell's, big mouth and Drew Pearsons
meddling tongue, to^ with other
mentators and editors in the North found that the
Missii^ppi resent being told how to condurt their i^litics.
For Mississippi re-elected Senator Bilbo and Congress
man Rankin because they refused to let Winchell, Pearson,
the CIO, the National Association for the AdvaTOeanent of
Colored People and the Communists tell them who can vote
in their primaries and who^they may nanie to of^e. .
The people of Mississippi could not do otherwise than
elect Bilbo and Rankin if they are to retain their sell respect
They had to prove to Winchell, Pearson, et al that these
Northern elements were stepping into the wrong pasture when
they sought to tell the voters of Misaiasippi what they should
or should not do in an election with which they^ the Northern,
element, had absolutely nothing to do.
Remember back a few years when Franklin D. Roosevelt
felt so secure in his psoition in the hearts and minds of the
people, that he could dictate to South Carolina and Georgia
in the senatorial elections? What happened was that the
President helped to elect the men he sought to purge.
The columnists, newspapers, CIO and other busybodies
should recall that one time was enough for Roosevelt They
"'don’t do it however, but continue to exercise their dictatorial
tactics and thus insure the election of the very men they
seek to defeat *
Bilbo and Rankin may be far from our ideals as senators,
but even with their shortcomings, they are better than some
of their critics.
GRANDMOTHER’S DAY
We have our “Mother’s Day” and our “Father’s Day”
and rightly so.
But why not a “Grandmother's D9y”? «
Yes folks—the grand old dame should be recognized
by a national “grandmother’s day”.
Why should grandmother be extoled over grandpappy,
Uncle Hiram or Aunt Minnie? Because Grandma was some
thing just a bit out of the ordinary. We think that the para
graph that came from an Ohio writer sums up the matter
quite plainly.
Says the Buckeye scribe: <
“Grandmother on a winter’s day milked the cows and
fed them hay, slopped the hogs, saddled the mule, and got
the children off to school; did a washing, mopped the floors,
washed the windows, and did some chores; cooked a dish of
homedried fruit, pressed her husband’s Sunday fbit, swept
the parlor, made the bed, baked a dozen loaves of bread,
split some firewood, and lugged it in, enough to fill the
kitchen bin; cleaned the lamps and put in oil, stewed some
apples she thought would spoil; churned the butter, baked
a cake, then exclaimed, ‘For heaven sake the calves have got
out of the pen’—went out and chased them in again; gath
ered eggs and locked the stable, back to the house to set the
table, cooked a supper that was delicious, and afterward
washed up all the dishes; fed the cat and sprinkled clothes,
mended a basketful of hose; then opened the organ and be
gan to play, “When You Come to the End of a Perfect Day’.”
UNBALANCED ECONOMY
It has been estimated that cooperative enterprises ex
empt from Federal income taxes did a $12,000,000,000 busi
ness in 1945. Tax-exempt business is expanding rapidly and
making a more formidable gash in the nation’s tax revenue
needed to run government.
The question is, how can a national economy work with
a large percentage of its productive machinery tax exempt,
^ich requires IHatTeihainingbUSiireSs'be overly taxed? This
is an unhealthy condition and an injustice to those who pay
the taxes. . .
‘With the government seeking new sources of revenue,
private business would da well to make an issue of the grow
ing list of tax exempt “free riders.”
' NO FIG TREES IN INDUNA
Repre^ntative Gillie of Indiana is in a quandry. He re
cently received a letter from a GI who had recently been dis
charged from the army. In the letter the G. I., went on to
explain that the army says he cannot wear a uniform after he
returns home because it is illegal to impeiaonate a soldier; the
stores says he cannot buy a tok of clothea because they do not
have his size; the police told him he could not go on the streets
naked because it’s against the law; he can’t find a house to
live in and cannot get any lumber to even build a dog house.
He says the army will not take him back because he is phy
sically unfit
NO “POUTICAL PORK” SCARCITY
A popular way to pile jip public debt is by the “flood
control” iormqla. Representative McGregor of Ohio labels
the House flood control bill “pork barrel.” --—
, Webster’s dictionary defines pork barrel as: “ A fund of
money appropriated from the Federal Treasury . . . . more
for local patronage than to make needed improvements.”
'It is no secret that flood control, navigation, irrigation,
and related works are largely camouflage terms to cover a
national program for socialized hydroelectric projects.
NO TAX'RECEIPT. NO UCENSE
Under a law passed by the last General Assembly it
will be necessary for all delinquent taxes on motor vehicles
to be paid before' 1946-47 licenses for cars will be issued by
the sUte highway department It would be well fbr automo
bile owners to start checking up on their back taxes. The time
for new Senses is a little over two months away. Payment
now may Mve a future holding up of the license.
And then there was the engineering freshmen who thought
steel wool was the fleece from a hydraulic imm.

The one true God is worthy of
the wholehearted worship of all
mtm. The second commmdment,
which we studied last week, forbid
all and svery idolatry and thus re-
quirea exclusive worship of god.
It really meant aomething in the
life of a man to worahip God in
aincerity and truth. It midtaa Ufa
worthwhile both here and hertaft.
ar. - .
1. Wenhlp Balaacaa Ufa (Deut
8:11-14).
Ptbsperity is ueuaDy thou^t to
be a blessing. We fear deprasslon
and poverty. The Lord through
Moaee warned hia people that pros-
periUr was dangerous. It still is,
because material things have the
power to so satisfy the natural da-
eirea of man as to maka him for
get his spiritual needs.
Is it not true that material proa-
parity usually brings with it a cor
responding decrease in spirituality.
Life values are weighed in geld,
silver, wheat and iron instead of ba-
ing rtewed in the light of God's
Word. ^ .
Worship of God win balance life
for it will keep man from forget>
ting God and hia laws. In tha vdl-
demess Israel had to call on God
for daily bread. Now that thay wart
to come into the promised land they
wcmld be apt to think they produced
their own food.
n. Worship Proieets life (Deut
8:18-20).
One of the most mischievous ini»>
takes of life is the idea that man
is the maker of his own money. Only
God can give man toe power rt
hand and heart, of mtuKde and
mind, which brings forth wealth,
and then he can only draw H out of
God's resources in mine or field or
sea.
This fallacy of man leads him
astray, and he begins to worship the
very powers he uses and finds plea»>
ure in the gods of this world. That
way leads only to eternal daatruo*
tion, to spiritual death.
How it man to ba delivered from
this awful destructive force? By a
right relationship to God, by wor>
■hip of and devotion to the hard.
Israd had a covenant with GoA
and in the keeping of it they woiM
find deliverance from aO Btoich
would pull down and destroy—yea,
and from the Judgment of God (v.
20).
.We who are believers in (^ist are
u^er the new covenant of grace.
If we have been bom again we
have the promise of God that we
have eternal life. But let us be
clear that it is possible for a Chris
tian to so forget God ana his cov
enant with the Lord as to lose his
fellowship and joy, and to be use
less and fruitless.
in. Worship Strengthens Life
(Isa. 40:30, 31).
The Christian life is not an easy
one to live. After all, who wants
it easy? There is, however, full
provision by God for the power
needed to live a life as victorious
and exultant as that of the soaring
eagle. That power is for those who
"wait upon the Lord" (v. 31).
it is taken for granted that toosa
who are old may become weary
and faint, but the fact is that even
the youth have this disappointing
experience.
We, leaders In tha church and
parents, are apt to forget that youth
is often a time of great struggla.
The young man or woman must
make the choices of purposes and
ideals which win determine their fu
ture. Too often youth, left unguid-
cd and without the balance of a
real faith in (3od, makes the wrong
choices and win^ up In bitter dta-
appointment.
Only God is sufficient for toe need
of our young people but be is suf
ficient. Let us teach our boys and
girls to wait (m the Lord.
IV. Warddp Cemplatea Ufa
(Mark 12:28-34).
Here was a mmn, who, by the tea-
timony of Jesus was "not far from
the kingdom of God." He was very
near to a full devotion to God In
Cairist He knew "all toe answers,"
but he did not follow the teachiu
which he knew to its proper ium
bleaaed ^conclusion. -
It is terrifying to think how close
e man can come to entering into
eternal life, and yet miss it altogeth
er. It prompts toe writer of these
notaa to ask you, tha reader, very
eameetly. Have you entered into
eternal life throuidi Jesus CSiriatf
"Almost" win not avail; yon can bo
