LEST WE FORGET
Hello, good people of Kershaw county. Isn’t
there something you have forgotten? Just take time
out to run through the pigeon holes in your desk.
» That’s it—^the envelope with the Christmas seal
stamps. Yes, we know just how chagrined you feel
because you forgot to mail your check to the local
group fighting the great white plague.
But—^it’s not too late now. And while you’re
‘ttiinking about it—write out your checks .or place
your money in an envelope and mail it TODAY.
Rest assured it will be used to good effect.
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.

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

the opposite.

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 far from God, apparently hope- j Jewi, he spoke of the new birth. 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).

To The Farmers
Of This Community:
The old saying that “A stitch in time saves
nine” can be applied in many ways and so once
again we are calling your attention to the fact
that so far as we can ascertain, commercial ferti-
I
lizer and nitrate of soda will be very scarce this
spring.
We do not sell fertilizer but we ARE IN
TERESTED in the welfare of our farmer frienda^
and therefore would impress on them again the
IMPORTANCE of placing their orders for ferti
lizer without further delay.
