I’ Lesion for October 6 RECOGNIZING OUR ' OTHERS DEBTS TO GOLDEN TEXT—Look not every man On hie own things, but every man also on ths things of others. LESSON TEXT—Mark 12:28-34; James 2:14-17 PRIMARY TOPIC—Helping Ons An other. JUNIOR TOPIC—Helping One An other. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—What Do We Owe to Others? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Fulfilling Our Obligation to Others. The sum total of human duty as •et forth by Christ In Matthew 22:34- 40 Is love to God and one’s neighbor. This comprehends every conceivable relationship and responsibility of life. The measure of love to God Is the whole capacity of man to love. The measure of love to one’s neighbor is one’s love for himself. I. Loving Qod (Mark 12:28-30). Man's first duty Is to God. The word which sums op his duty to God Is love. By loving Is meant a sincere desire for and a delight In the welfare of the one loved, and a willingness to do everything possible to further*it Love ts not a aentlmental emotion, but an ardent passion which absolutely sways the one who loves. When one is swsyed by ths passion to ptesse, honor and florlfy God, he is loving Ulm with his whole heart, strength and mind. To fall to tender full obedience to this, the first and great commandment, la to be goilty of committing the great est sin. By this teat we can readily estimate our freedom from sin. De termined by this standard, all are guilty before God. We should put God first In all of life's relationships. * II. Loving Our Neighbor (Mk. 12:31- W). Hohnily’s Business By Gee McGee. The saddest day of a woman’s life is the day she sees another woman with a dress on just exactly like hers. And while we are on this subject, if a woman throws out her hand, take my advice—stop and wait till she makes up her mind what she intends to do. Bumpers and fender* cost money. Speaking of legislatures and the interstate commerce commission, we beg to say. that the telephone company is asking for the privilege of increas ing the toll rates on all messages within a radius of 32 miles, and in re turn for this special favor, they will agree to reduce their long distance tolls to Bagdad and Bankok and Shan ghai and possibly Jerusalem. In other words, they will concede 2 per cent and} succeed about 25 percent. Of course they will get what they ask for; they always do, but I wish they wo ^(ld answer our local calls a little bit quicker. te ¥ American Red Cross Nurses Feeding the Hindus *»v r • • ' With the aid of the Federal Reserve,! the bears recently had 2 billions of' dollars transferred from the checking accountof the hulls to the savings ac count of themselves.

Uncle Joe’s Samnve reminds me of the w^ong number. He got converted at the camp meeting in July and his salvation lasted plumb on up into Aug ust, and it would possibly have lasted on and on if a certain bootlegger had not accepted his check for three fruit jars full of hilarity fluid. Sammie don’t even go to Sunday school now. And the joy agent is still holding his check, and will probably have to keep holding it till Sammie gets religion again. Pay While You Ride. Highway department employees are being divided up into squads of 3 men each, as follows: A boss, a time keeper and a laborer. This wa» deem ed necessary on account of a recent accident. While 26 men were engag ed in marking a white line in the mid dle of the Graftall highway last Tuesday, a one-horse wagon ran into them and crippled all of them but 19. They escaped hy reason of the fact that they were sitting out on the side of the road in the shade. flat rock, s. C. sep the 25, 1929. mr. gee megee, private estimater, anderson, s.

This Is answered by the story of the good Samaritan In Luke 10:30-37. Our neighbor Is one who is In need of our help. It Is not a question of where he lives, but of hls Deed of help. Some of the ways we can love our neighbor, as suggested by the texts selected by the lesson commit tee, are: L By co-operntlou (Neh. 4:15-23). The walls of Jerusalem needed to be rebuilt The task was great and the enemies strong. Nehemiuh could Dot have done it alone, though work ing all the days of his life, but “every one unto his work” made the walls a reality I o short time. Racial soli darity is a reality. “No man liveth unto himself,” therefore human life is lived at Its best In co-operation Ivltb one another. 2. By the strong bearing the in ArraUies of the weak (Rom. 15:1-7) By this means we build up each other. We are given strength, not to use for ourselves, but that we may help sustain the weak. We are not to please ourselves. Our supreme ex ample In this is Jesus Christ If He had pleased Himself, He never would have come down to earth, taken our nature and suffered the shame of the cross. The rich are to help the poor. Indeed, some are made rich in order that they may Intelligently render helpful service to the poor. 8. By rendering lowly service (Phil 2:1-9). The supreme business of life Is to serve, not to be served. Christ came not to be ministered onto, but to '• minister (Mark 10:45). Christ, though nqual with God, humbled Himself to become the servant of men. The hu man mind la naturally selfish, there fore the only way man can possibly tender lowly service to others la to bare the mind of Christ. The only nrty Udi mind can be in us la as l Christ is in na, tba Lord of our Uvea. 4 By rendering Justice to every eoe (OoL 8:12; 4:1). ah egr fallows bare rights which be racogwiaed to accomplish God moat pot on • yores tiulie, mike Clark, rfd. The railroad companies will now let you ride on their trains at regular bus-line fares if you will agree to leave on Saturday and spend Sunday with yotir mother-in-law and get back home to your children before mid night Monday. They are forced to operate under these restrictions so’s their regular passenger rates will con tinue on the basis inaugurated by Mc- Adoo while Hindenburg was hammer ing at the Marne. Forty years ago, it took character to get a public office and brains to i hold it, but now pull puts a fellow in and bull keeps him in. All gasoline taxes are intelligently spent. Everywhere you go nowadays, north, east, south or west, you find men putting out grass cn both sides of the pavement. No matter how’ dry it is or how impossible it might be for the said grass to take* root, it is being set-out nevertheless. The boys must be pad and if they must be paid, they must have something to do, and if they must have something to do, why, a job is tKe only thing that will keep them from having to go off some where and work for a living. We un derstand that two of the bunches of grass they set out last month on the Sugar-tit road lived and ; s probably -still living. Cotton Letter . New York, Sept. 24.—Liverpool came in 4 points lower than due be cause the Manchester strike was set tled week before last, but this loss was soon offset by probable showers in Texas and Georgia. Southern sell ing was in evidence in the North, but Ford and Chevrolet buying was strong in the South wherever a bale of cotton could be sold and planked up as a down payment. The import duty on poodles and Pekinese pups was raised to a 5 percent advalorem, and as these If a farmer could svstematize his work like the highway department has 1 systematized its work(? ), he would j function in this manner: He would have a man to ring his bell every morning at 8 o’clock to wake him up,' and a helper w r ould pull on his britches | and as assistant helper would put on j his shirt and wash his face and 2 oth-^ er boys would fetch his breakfast into. him and he would tell the mule catch- j er to take the gear fetcher and go out to the barn and assist the barn attend ant to get old Beck ready to go to, work, and as soon as she was properly j equipped, he would let the assistant plowman go and bring the actual plowman out to the field and put him in a cushion seat on the liding plow and then the “gid-dap” man would drive on off through the field, and Mr. Farmer would light out to town. So, in my opinion, highway depart ments are all operated on an extreme ly economic basis, and most of them are saving money.
