Ezekiel bad whiskers at one time and the Lord ordered him to cut them off, giving minute Instructions as to what disposition to make of the shear* Jng. But the record does not register that Ezekiel followed the instructions of the Lord and now sculptural work on the tower of the capitol held up until the question of Ezekiel’s beard Is settled. Who Said “Beaver." Eight figures are being cut on the outside of the base of the tower. Seven are completed. The eighth rep resents Ezekiel. And the figure has a long beard. That’s where the trouble arises. A controversy has arisen sim ilar to that which arose when the bronze statue of. Abraham Lincoln was designed by Daniel Chester French for a place on the capitol grounds. Lin coln is there shown to be wearing a beard, although some contended for a smooth face. Ezekiel’s face has a very long heard like the old Hebrew patriarchs always are depicted as wearing. , Before the figure was completed somebody dis covered that in all probability Ezekiel • didn’t have a beard when he was doing bis best prophesying. Ezekiel’s Instructions. The authority quoted to uphold this opinion Is to be found In the fifth chapter of the book of Ezekiel: “And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause It to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard; then take the balances to weigh and divide the hair. “Thou shall burn wilh lire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shall take a third part, and smite about It with a knife; and a third part thou shall scatter to the winds; and 1 will draw out a sword after them.” Critics are saying members of the commission didn’t know their Bible i»r they would have caught the point la- fore approving the model wilh the whiskers. Defenders of the heard point out that while Ezekiel was undoubtedly ordered to shave, there is nothing in the Bible to show that he carried out this order. To which argument the “dean facers” reply that the Lord continued Ezekiel as his prophet fur many years, and that If Ezekiel had dleobeyed he would not have so con tinued. fc..

DR, O. D. HAMMOND. i- i H- Considered « Advertising i • • as a Clerk? A' V l A CLERK—BETTER, A SOLICITOR — who calls weekly at hundreds of homes in Barnwell County, not annoyingly ringing the doorbell asking to “see the lady of the house,” but one who calls pleasantly, tells all the news of the community, gossips with the family, and sells them goods that are in your store, i / 4 If no one is home when this clerk calls, it does not pass on to the next home, but waits patiently until some one comes. It then tells its story to the first ar rival and repeats and repeats to every member of the family. It never tires—even weeks later this clerk is * still talking, repeating its sales talk and old news of Barnwell County. Incomes have been reduced but among the hun dreds of people this clerk calls on some one is always in need of something—something that is in your store. The clerk sits at night with the family while they dis cuss what they need and whether they can afford the things that this clerk has to offer. John needs some new shoes. Shoes? Sure, says this clerk. We have them priced from $3.50 to $8.50. The very size and what you want and something that you have been looking for, for only $4.75, etc., through the needs of-the family^ This clerk is on duty all day and night, day in and day out, week, month and year. Rain, snow or sleet does not prevent him from making his calls with hundreds of families. How much would a clerk, or solicitor, of this kind cost you per week? Could you afford to pay him what he would be worth? r €ould you find such a 'j&rson who would work night and day regardless and fill the bill as well as this clerk? Friend of thousands. Always ad mitted to every, home he calls on. Considered a part of every familyV Such a valuable clerk could demand and get any salary he wanted, but not this cherk. Advertising is not an expense! Consider it as one of your clerks. Put this clerk on your weekly or monthly payroll. It is a sound investment. One clerk who is on the streets and in the homes of Barnwell an,d this trade area ever soliciting business for your store? One that sends in business to keep your other clerks who stay in your store busy. Can you afford to be without the services of this cleerk? Call and let us tell you how cheaply he will work •X for you. .» 1 ■ ‘ *• ■ > I* * • A * • The People-Sentinel PHONE 89 BARNWELL, S. C. h‘ 4’* — mm
