V The Barnwell People-Sentinel. Barnwell 8. C- Thursday, April 29, 1937 ^LL about: S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.- Local, naturalists are all afog over the discovery that the California condor is coming back in numbers to his former haunts just up country from here. In fact, they are going out of one violent gog right into another. Because the condor, the mightiest winged creature in all North America, was supposed to be practically extinct, along with such van ished species of native wild life as the great auk, the passenger pigeon and the lightning rod agent. So now we have set up a new mark for envious Florida to shoot at. For while they may have croupiers at Bradley’s in Palm Beach, with eyes as keen and bleak as the con dor’s are, and real- estate dealers in Miami as greedy as he is, our frustrated rivals will be put to it to dig up a bird with a wing spread of from nine to elev en feet. Irvin S. Cobb Communism’s Gallant Foe. H ARDLY a day passes but we read in the paper of an ac count of individual heroism, of sac rifice, of devotion to duty—some thing which renews our faith in hu man beings and makes us realize that scattered through the world are splendid souls of whom we never heard before and probably shall never hear again. When the emer gency came he rose to it—and that’s enough. But because, in the last few months, we’ve learned to expect it of him, I’m thinking many of us fail to appreciate a recurrent act of gallant service by one venerable, enfeebled man whose name is fa miliar to all Christendom. From time to time, triumphing by sheer will power, by sheer singleness of purpose above his own sufTering, Pope Pius XI, speaking from what soon must be his deathbed, sends forth a clarion call for a united front against the growing menace of aommumsm. • • • Waning Merchant Marines. A FTER we’ve spent billions in ^ government subsidies trying to build up a proper merchant fleet of our own, it’s Just a trifle discon certing to read that, among the six nations leading in maritime ship ping, the United States still ranks third in gross tonnage, fifth in ships having a speed of twelve knots or better, and last in ships built within the last ten years. But, although Los Angeles is a great port, we have no time right now to pester about a comparatively trivial thing such as the threatened vanishment of the American flag from the seven seas—not while we re still so uncertain aboat who will have the leading parts in “Gone With the Wind.” To date, nearly every lady in the movie colony has been suggested for Scarlett O'Hara except Mae West and Jane Withers, and as for Rhett Butler—well, it may yet be necessary to cast that role as a whole minstrel first part, with an interlocutor and six end men. • • • Italians in Spain. I T MUST be slightly annoying to those Italian soldiers who were flung headlong upon Spain to fight in a war in which they had no per sonal interest, when, through mis take, they are mown down in hun dreds by their own troops, and then the bewildered remnants find them selves in the hands of the oppos ing government forces, who have a reputation for sometimes being a trifle rough with prisoners whom they capture. Still, it must be a great com fort to the confused captives—and to the relatives of the fallen back home as well—to have assurance from Mussolini that they are win ning the way for fascist doctrines. Until they heard that cheering mes sage, those battered survivors prob ably thought that, they had been licked. • • • The Height of Gall. A S J. CAESAR remarked at the time, all Gaul was once divid ed in three parts, but it is obvious that subsequently there was a com plete re-consolidation. When France, already in default to us on one little four-billion debt, starts scheming to peddle her new est issue of government securities over here, that must indeed be re garded as the height of gallishness or Gaulishness—spell it either way, reader, it’ll come out the same. Moreover, to evade the Johnson act, she would have American investors send the money to Paris and buy these French bonds there. This sort of smacks of inviting Br’r Rabbii to come into camp to be massacred, instead of hunting him down with tha dogs 1 IRVIN S. COBB. e-wm; Sarvtca. News Review of Current 0 Events the World Over A ■ —■ * Effect of Wagner Act Validation on National Labor Policy v and Supreme Court Controversy—President Orders Curtailment of Expenditures. ____ By EDWARD • WMUra N« W. PICKARD Uakw. Sec. Perkins t^ALIDATTON of the Wagner act * brought tho administration up against the necessity of form bating a new national labor policy to pre vent atrikea and to determine what course shall be fol lowed when collec tive bargaining is unsuccessful. For this purpose Secre tary of Labor Per kins invited 33 lead ers of industry and labor to attend pri vate meetings in Washington, stating they would be asked to discuss the need of new safeguards for industry to balance the gains achieved by la bor under the Wagner act. Among those Madame Perkins invited were William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor; John L. Lewis, chairman of the Committee for Industrial Organiza tion; Myron C. Taylor, board chair man of United States Steel corpora tion; Gerard Swope, board chair man of General Electric corpora tion; Harper Sibley, president of the United States Chamber of Com merce, and government officials. Certain of the President’s advis ers have told him a law requiring the incorporation of labor unions should be passed; or that at least there should be a law similar to the British trades union act which pro vides that all union funds must be accounted for to the government and that unions cannot participate in aympathy or general strikes. Organized labor always has op posed any such legislation and prob ably would continue to fight against it John L. Lewis thinks one result of the Wagner act decisions may be the abandonment of the sit-down strike, though this, he says, depends on the attitude taken by employers in the operstion of the act. "Under the court’s decision,” says Lewis, **workers now have machinery for adjudication of disputes and the making of contracts with employers. Everything depends on the attitude of employers, who showed no dis- disposition to be generous although the right of labor to gather together for its protection had been conceded for a lifetime.” LJ OW does the upholding of the * * Wagner labor relations act af fect the battle over the President’s plan to enlarge the Supreme court? That question arose at once on an nouncement of the decisions and re ceived various answers. Opponents of the President’s bill declared the necessity for such a measure, if it ever existed, wss entirely removed by this showing of liberal tendencies by a majority of the court; and many supporters of Mr. Roosevelt admitted that some compromise such as the appointment of two new justices instead of six, might be advisable. But the President him self let it be known that he wished his program pushed through without modification. The favorable ma jority of one, created by the shift af Justice Roberts, did not seem to him safe enough. This position of the President was taken also by some of his cabinet members. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace declared that agriculture could expect nothing from the Su preme court as now constituted, and urged American farmers to give the Roosevelt plan their earnest sup port. Attorney General Cummings de clared that the four justices who dis sented from the court’s decision that the Wagner act is constitution al still constitute a "battalion of death” and will continue to oppose all major New Deal social legisla tion. John L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O., asserted the Supreme court had demonstrated its “instability” anew and that the Wagner act decisions only made more imperative the need for enlarging the court. Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, whip of the senate, predict ed that the President’s court plan would emerge from the judiciary committee “a much compromised, amended and generally trans formed measure.” O HIEFS of executive depart- ^ ments, independent officers and other spending units of the govern ment were called on by President Roosevelt to reduce expenditures up to the end of the fiscal year June 30. In his letter to them the President said: “It is apparent at this time that the revenues of the government for the present year will be materially less than the amount estimated in my budget message of last January; and, hence, the deficit will be far greater than was anticipated unless there is an immediate curtailment of expenditure. “You will carefully examine the status of appropriations for your ac tivity with a view to making a sub stantial saving by eliminating or de ferring all expenditures which are not absolutely necessary at this time. “You will report to me through the acting director of the budget not later then May 1, 1937, tha ateps which you are undertaking to reduce expenditures and the amount el the estimated saving resulting there from.” COUTHERN congressmen found they were no longer in the sad dle when the house by a vote of 276 to 119 passed the anti-lynching bill. The debate was furious and the representatives from the South were deeply resentful. “For more than 100 years the peo ple of the South have kept life in the Democratic party,” declared Representative E. E. Cox of Georgia, "and now that that party has grown powerful it turns upon the South and proposes .to pass this wicked and cowardly law. This bill is directed just as much against the South as any reconstruction bill passed after the Civil war.” The bill was sponsored by Repre sentative Joseph Gavagan of New York whose district includes the big negro city of Harlem. It provides that any state officer who surren ders a prisoner to a mob shall be guilty of a felony and subject to prosecution and severe penalties. In addition, the county in which a lynching occurs shall be liable for $2,000 to $10,000 damages, to be paid to the family of the lynched person. Proponents of the measure were greatly aided by a mob in Missis sippi that took two negroes from a sheriff and tortured and burned them to death. The local authori ties were supine and called the shocking affair a "closed incident.” Premier Hepburn \yf ITCH ELL HEPBURN, pre- mier of Ontario, reiterating his determination not to permit C. I. O. representatives from the United States to take part in negotiations for settlement of the strike in the General Motors of Canada plant at Oshawa. promised to “call out an army if nec essary” to protect the property of the corporation. Hugh Thompson. U. A. W. A. organizer, barred by Hepburn, threat ened that every Gen eral Motors plant in America would be closed unless the Oshawa strike were settled soon with recognition of the union demands. Homer Mar tin, president of the U. A. W. A., called Hepburn a number of un pleasant names. The Toronto Trades and Labor Council pledged the sup port of its 40,000 members to the union’s strike against General Mo tors. Hepburn forced two of his min isters to resign, charging they were not supporting the government in its fight “against the inroads of the Lewis organization and commu nism in general.” They are David A. Croll, who held the labor, mu nicipal affairs and public welfare portfolios, and Attorney General Ar thur W. Roebuck. Axel Hall, young mayor of Oshawa, who has been friendly to the strikers and critical of Hepburn’s action, sent an “ulti matum” to President Martin of the Automobile Workers of America de manding that members of the union in the United States strike in sup port of the Oshawa local. The lat ter body adopted a resolution de manding that Premier Hepburn withdraw from the negotiations to make way for intervention by the dominion authorities. In Montreal 5,508 women garment workers, members of the C. I. O. in ternational union, employed in 72 plants, started a strike for higher wages; and in Fernie, B. C., 1,000 C. I. O. miners threatened to strike for union recognition. George VI is crowned king of Great Britain on May 12, Robert Worth Bingham, our am bassador to London, and James W. Gerard, President Roosevelt’s spe cial ambassador to the coronation, will appear in Westminster abbey garbed in silk knee breeches and ordinary evening tailed dress coats. The State department in Washing ton consented to a modification of the ruling which bars American dip lomats from wearing gala clothes at state functions. The costume decided upon is not full court dress but the duke of Norfolk, who is earl marshal, will let it go as such. E'OR the second time in two years 1 the house passed the Pettingill bill to repeal the “long and short haul” clause of the interstate com merce act. This law prohibits rail ways from charging lower rates for a long haul than for a shorter one on the same route in the same di rection, and it hampers the roads greatly in their competition with water and truck carriers for long disianci traffic.

GOLDEN TEXT—By f.Uh, Abraham. »h«n b« wm called to fo cut Into a placa which ha should after rocolvo for aa in- bcritance, obeyad. Hebrews 11:8. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Friend of God. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Hebrew Ploaeer. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Adventurous Faith. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— CreaUva Faith. One of the greatest characters In all human history comes before us today in the person of Abraham. He is venerated by Christian, Jew, and Mohammedan alike. His per sonal history is replete witl. inter est and instruction. But his claim to an outstanding place in history is broader than any of these things, for he was the one by whom God called out a nation for himself and began his dealings in sovereign grace which continue to our day. In choosing Abraham God began the history of the Jewish people, his chosen nation. They were called by him to be not only a national witness to the one true God, but also to be the repository for his truth (the Holy Scriptures) in the earth, and, above all, to be the channel for the .coming of the Re deemer to the earth. Our lesson, however, centers on the faith of Abraham. As the Gold en Text (Heb. 11:8) indicates, it was by faith that Abraham responded to the call of God. That call came to him in his father’s house in Meso potamia (Acts 7:2, 3). His partial obedience brought delay at Haran (Gen. 11:31), and wasted years, but in Genesis 12 we find his complete obedience and resultant blessing. The study of faith is always fas cinating. Faith is the thing in man that pleases God. He is quick to honor our trust in Him. Unbelief shuts the door not only to blessing, but also to usefulness. I. Faith Calls for Separation, Obe dience, and Worship. 1. Separation (Gen. 12:1). “Get thee out” was God’s command to Abraham. It is his command to hia followers today. “Come out from among them and be ye separate, aaith the Lord” (II Cor. 6:17). This is the crying need of the church in our day. Instead of the church’s being in thfe world seeking to win it for Christ, the world has come into the church and destroyed much of its vital testimony. 2. Obedience (Gen. 12:4,5). "So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken.” Faith obeys God, without question, without hesitation, and without reservation. We need a re vival of obedience in the home, in society, and in our relation to God. 3. Worship (Gen. 12:7, 13-18). “There builded he an altar unto the Lord.” Faith in God is far more than the psychologist's preachment of self-confidence. It results In fellowship with God, re liance upon him, not on one’s own strength of personality. Faith wor ships God. II. Faith Results in Blessing, Pro tection, and Liberty. 1. Blessing (12:2,3). “I will bless,'* said God. “The Lord’s commands are rarely accompanied with rea sons, but they are always accom panied with promises, either ex pressed or understood." In the case of Abraham the prom ise was not only to him, and to the nation of which he was the father, but to “all families of the earth.” That promise was fulfilled in the coming of Christ to earth to be our Redeemer (Matt. 1:1). 2. Protection (12:3). “I will . . . curse him that curseth thee.” That promise to the seed of Abraham is still true. The nations have forgotten it in their hatred of the Jew, but God has not forgotten. The promise is equally true in the case of those who follow Christ, “the son of Abraham.” His protecting hand is over us even in the dark hour when it looks as though the hosts of Satan had conquered. 3. Liberty (13:14-17). “All the land. . . will I give.” After many and varied experiences in which Ab raham proves God’s grace and pow er, he comes out into a place of unlimited liberty. The man who boasts of his “per sonal liberty,” who feels that he is free from the “bondage of religion,” is in fact a slave to the enemy of his soul. And the man who becomes “the bondslave of Jesus Christ,” he alone is free. None is more fet tered thrn he who shouts “I am the captain of my fate. I am the master of my soul.” And none is so free as he who can say, “Christ is the Captain of my fate, the Master of my soul.” Deciding What Not to Do Men must decide on what they will not do, and then they are able to act with vigor in what they ought to do.—Mencius.
