Thursday, April 30, 1931 McgQRMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA r u&s Ct f HINDSIGHT & FORESIGHT (BY CLAYTON RAND) “I regret to learn that the money market is no easier. It will become easier and money will be come plenty enough when all fail who ought to fail; and when all the crazy speculating, reckless and headlong merchants, traders and speculators, who ' ' ft want to become rich without industry and economy f 'a shall be made to stop in theif* careers. “The times are out of joint and will continue so until business men are made sensible that fortunes are not to be made in a day. “There is a great tendency in all classes to live be yond their means. There is in this country too much of the high-pressure principle.” Written yesterday? No. Written today? No. The foregoing is an editorial from the Boston Post in 1837. , ‘ (As we shook out of 1837 we are shaking out of * ' . f m ’29 and ’30.

M ORE than once Mrs. Hawkins had been asked much the same period in the life of the potato question by some one or other of her boarders there at Cliff house. Now it Dodge The Hot Spell Plant late potatoes so that the tubers will develop under the most favorable climatic conditions, ad vise horticulturists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Study of the effect of weather on the po tato shows that the most critical plant is the tuber-development stage. A long spell of heat and drought during this period reduces potato yields very materially, they found. Growers should take ad vantage of this fact in all regions where the normal growing season is longer than necessary to ma ture the crop. Potato growers in western New York, for example, was George Kennedy’s turn as he stopped in Mrs. Hawkin’s little office off the main hall to ask her for his mail. He had hesitated as he stood there with his mail, turned to go, and then turned back again. “By the way, Mrs. Hawkins,” he said rather suddenly, ‘‘do you happen to know who lives in the little white cottage just east of this house?” “Sarah Seabury,” said Mrs. Haw discovered that they got better j kingt on | y s i, e said something like yields by planting from June 1 to “Say-rie”—and then she added, “lives 20 than from May f. to 20.

For a time he thought that it all came from some radio—and that A well-built bird house should be durable, rainproof, cool, and easily acces3ible for cleaning.

Sawmill waste (rough slabs with the bark on) furnishes a cheap, satisfactory ma terial for rustic houses. For wood, an easily workable variety such as cypress, pine, or yellow poplar, is preferable. Cypress is the most durable of these. Paint improves the weathering quality. Martin houses and others that are placed in exposed situations may be paint ed white to reflect heat. Make the roof with pitch enough to shed rain readily, or, if level, cut a groove across the under face of the over hanging part. Slanting the open ing of the nest cavity helps to keep out water. One or two small auger holes through the walls near the top improve the ventilation; or a double roof or compartment above the nest makes a good insulator. Entrances to bird houses are us ually placed near the top, and roughening, grooving, or deating the inner side of the lumber will help young birds to climb to the opening. It is better to place the houses on poles than on trees. Have the nests fairly low and away from dense woods. y Schedule Of Services At Colored Churches Schedules of services at the Col ored Churches are as follows: Young Mt. Zion, Chappell, First Sunday.

CHARLES • Attorney-At-Law f office, Farmers Bank Building Days at McCormick t i TUESDAYS and .FRIDAYS number of times, George wlfs con vinced that there was nothing radio about it. As he had listened the night before he had felt that lie knew her, that he could see her—and now all lie had to satisfy him was the knowledge that the musician was a maiden lady and that her name was Say-rie—Sarah Seabury. George joined friends of his on the beach, went golfing that afternoon and idled an hour or so away with girls at the country club. And all the time he felt the semi-aweness that lie had been dirappointed. He had lis tened to that sweet, magnetic voice with the assurance that he might ac tually know the woman who owned ► it. And here he was listening to the chatter of two girls with voices that seemed to him particularly irritating and metallic. In his room lie might hear the enchanting voice again. He was turning to go, amidst some protest on the part of the merry lit tle party sitting in the clubhouse, when they seemed to forget all about him. There were cries of greeting from the girls. Some one said: “Hel lo there, Sukie.” The men rose—and a girl—or as it seemed to George a goddess—came into the room from Hie door through which he had intended to leave. Seeing that George was not so intent on leaving as: lie had ap peared to be some one mumbled an introduction. George made a gesture of regarding his watch—and sehl something about not knowing it was so early. And as he set looking at the girl lie realized that he had fallen in love—love at first sight—and only a little while ago lie had fallen in love—love at first sound. He marveled at his own susceptibility. Then some one suggested that the girl sing for them, and without wait ing for the urging that would have followed, she went to the piano. With the first two or three notes George sat up in his chair amazed. It was the voice he had heard the night be fore. Abruptly the girl'stopped sing ing. She said she had to hurry home. George looked at his watch again, said something about going, and started after her. They went off in the same direction. George said he was going to Cliff house and the girl who was going in the same direction seemed willing enougli to have George walk with her. “I live in the little cottage just be yond Cliff house,” she told him. “Fa ther and mother have gone to Europe so I’m staying there for a while with our old mammy.” “But I understood that there was some one there named Sarah Sea- bury.” % “I’m Sarah Seabury,” said the girl, “only they all call me Sukie.” “But the woman at the hotel said it was a ‘maiden lady,’” stammered George. “Well, did you think I was a widow or a divorcee?” asked the girl laugh ing. “Maiden lady is a polite way of saying I’m an old maid. I’m twen ty-five.” George lingered two weeks longer than he had ajiy right to do that sum mer—sent word to his office that he had found he needed a longer rest. Mrs. Hawkins looked a little de pressed after he had gone. “Well, lie’ll never come back here,” she said. “I counted on having him for a reg ular after this—he liked it so much— but that maiden lady next door set her cap for him. I understand she ac tually got herself engaged to him. I suppose they’ll be married soon and next year they’ll both be at the cot tage.” - * Coffee Owed to Arabians The Arabians are given the credit for discovering and promoting the use of coffee as a beverage and also for the propagation of the plant.

Jesus Passing, Through Jericho (v. 1). . , Jericho Is noted as a stronghold of the Canaanltes which was miraculous ly delivered into the hands of Israel in response to their faith, Joshua 6, and also for the faith of Rahab which saved her from destruction with the city Heb. (11:31). Two notorious sin ners,. Rahab and .Zacchaeus, were saved at Jericho. II. Zacchaeus Seeking Jesus (w» 2-4). 1. His object (v. 3). He sought to see who Jesus was. He doubtless had heard of Jesus* kind treatment of publican^, so was prompt ed to see what kind of a man he was. 2. His difficulties (vv. 2, 3). (1) His infamous business (v. 2). He was a tax collector of the Roman government. The very fact that a Lower Long Cane Church Schedule Sabbath school every 1st, 3rd and 5th Sabbath afternoon at 3:00 o’clock.

He was too small to crowd his way through to Jesus, and being hated by the people, they had thrust him aside, no doubt, with taunts and jeers. 3. His persistence (v. 4). He ran before the multitude and climbed up into a tree. What he lacked in stature he was determjftpd should be made up by the height of the tree. Zacchaeus seems to have been of that temperament which knows no defeat. The obstacles placed before him he brushed aside; those he could not brush aside he climbed over, his heart set upon the* goal. HI. Jesus Finding Zacchaeus (jvv. 5, 6). . - ' While Zacchaeus was trying to see Jesus, Jesus was looking for him. This is always the case, when desire is stirred up in a heart to see Jesus, Jesus is seeking that one. When Jesus saw him lie commanded him to come down from the tree and declared nis intention to go home with him. Jesus called him by name, but did not utter a word which would humiliate Zacchaeus. Jesus knew his heart’s de sire and dealt with him accordingly. All souls who earnestly seek Jesus shall be found of him. Zacchaeus quickly responded. He came down, and w^th joy received Jesus. He act ed wisely in that lie did not hesitate. A moment’s indecision and waiting would have kept Zacchaeus from Jesus —from Jesus and salvation. IV. Zacchaeus’ Conversion (vv. 7-10). His conversion was sudden and tlior ough. He was* converted before he readied the ground. 1. What the crowd said (v. 7). They said just what they say today when sinners come to Christ. They call to mind the man’s former sins. They also reproached Christ saying that lie had gone to lie a guest with this notorious extortioner, the tax col lector. That for which they reproached Jesus was his glory. His supreme mis sion was to save sinners (v. 10). 2. What Zacchaeus said (v. 8). His conversion was thorough. It took hold upon his he.Jt. Ills new life was begun with resolution and restitution. He dedicated half of Ids goods to the poor. The man who a lit tle while ago was a grafter was now a generous giver. His conversion got hold of his pocketbook. His determi nation to make restitution wherein he had wrongly exacted taxes shows the genuineness of his conversion. While God forgets the past of the sinner when he conies to Christ, the sinner who is converted will seek to make right all wrongs, be they Unkind words or unrighteous deeds. Sorrow for sin Is not enough when restitution is pos sible. 3. What Jesus said (vv. 9. 10). “Today is salvation come to thy house.” The publican was now a child of God, a son of Abraham. Sal vation is a present reality to those who receive Jesus Christ. Sunday at 3:30 p. m., and 4th Sun day at 11:15 a. m.* ST.
