CAMDEN ANONYMOUS We received a shock last week Saturday. It hap pened when a car bearing a Kentucky license pulled in at the curb near the Thomas Tavern and a gentle man put his head out of the door window and called to us, “I beg your pardon sir, could you tell me the name of this town?” We believe in modesty, but we believe that it can be carried to excess. Especially when it means a lack of initiative that requires inquiry as to “what town is this?” on the part of tourists. _ What we have advocated for years is the placing of appropriate reflector type signs on U. S. No. 1, east and west, on 621 south and north. For instance these signs, day or night would proclaim to the voyager “THIS IS CAMDEN, SPORTS AND WINTER RE SORT CEN'TER OF THE MIDSOUTH.” This is a valuable and concrete contribution that can be made by the city—the Chamber of Commerce —and other civic organizations. Our present anonymity is unwise. AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! We know of no single act that would do more toward safety on our roads than resumption of motor vehicle inspection. And we sincerely trust that the general assembly of South Carolina will do nothing to delay .further this needed precaution against accidents. Without interference, inspection will begin again March 1. Let's let it begin.—Columbia State. • Decorating •Painting •Spraying • Paper Hanging •Exterminating EDDIE NOUN Phone 605-J Camden, S. C.

Racial and social prejudice divide mankind, although they are really one family by the creation of God. Speaking a thoutand or more tongues and counUett dialects; liv ing in separated areki; suffering un der or priding themselves in (as the case maty be) a certain focial order, and disagreeing even about tbe thini^s of God, they manage to build up formidable barriers between tbelr various groups. The Word of God by both precept end practical example teaches Just the opposite. I. Barrlera Breken (w. 4-f). Contrast the woman of Samaria with Nicodemua, whose coming to Christ we studied last week. He waa rich; she was poor. He was a Jew; she was of the mixed race of Samar itans. He was a man of character and high position; she was immoral and uneducated. He aou^t Jasus; Jesus sought her. In doing so, be cut straight acroas the barriers of race, tradition, social poalUoa, cducatioo, .cveryfhiiig. Ha was interested in her soul's salva tion and nothing could stand In his way.

To lastly involved in sinful assoelatloos, a citizen of a hostile nation uid an adherent of another religious faith. By asking a favor of her, Christ tactfully placed himself (as does any petitioner), for the momenL on her own plane. He was not m distant, learned religious leader deigning to cast a bit of religious philosophy to her. He was a tired, thirsty man asking for a drink of water. But he was moral He was Im gracious Son of God, declaring to her that he was ready to giva to her the water of life. n. Problema Selved (w. t, 10. 27-30). The fifst problem this poor woman had to face was her sin problem. It not that true of all of ua? She first tried to avoid it by rais ing the race problem, and the reply of Jesus told her of the water cf life. Her quick desire to escape the drudgery of carrying water, gave him opportunity to face her with her sin. could never find peace and Joy until there was a frank and open lacing of sin in her life. Let us make no mistake at this point, for the moral law of God'la the same now as it waa on that far- eff day when Jeaus brought the woman of Samaria face to face with her own sin. Possibly in an effort to evade her moral problem by theological discus sion (a common practice in our day, tool), and partly because of her Ig norance of true worship, she asked a question about a controversial- matter relating to outward cere mony. la it not a singular thing how men who know nothing of spir itual life delight in the propagation and defense of organizations and in the conduct of outward religious ex ercises? the poor w(»nan of Samaria he de clared his Messiahship. He is no respecter of persona, and neither are those who truly follow him. Those whom the woman brought to Jesua saw and heard for themselves, and many of them believed. Per sonal testimony U a wonderful thing, but the ultimate purpose of such wit ness is to get men to come by faith into the proaence of the Lord Jeaus himself. A personal experience with Christ leads to real aaauranee; without which tliare can be no spiritual growth or usefulnesa. Hay many who read these words, and who have so often heard and read about Jesus, come to htm tty day so that they may say: ‘7fow we believe ... for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is In deed the Christ, the Saviour of the werld'' (V. 42).
