r Tfii^rsday, January 21, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SEC m \ Sdmjlesso# International Sunday School Lesson for January 24 JESUS AND THE SAMARITAN WOMAN John 4:9-26 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. To help establish the reality of this,incident let the writer refer to Ills visit in the Samaritan Colony, where just a remnant of only a few score now remain of those who were so despised by the Jews in that day. The very ancient Sammaritan Pentetuch was shown me with marked pride. Their history dates back to the destruction of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 6. C. The Passover is still observ ed each year on Mt. Gerizim according to their own ancient rites. Of- ten / the Jews would go far out of their way so as to avoid this region in proceeding to Galilee, but this time “He must needs pass through Samaria.’’ The complete humanity of Jesus is evidenced in the lesson setting as the tired man sits at the side of Jacob’s well. As the woman comes to draw water Jesus enters upon the personal work in accord with His own “Win One" method of procedure. Let any teacher or preacher who is distressed by reason of an audience of one or even a few only note how Jesus acted. Seeking a favor is often a helpful approach to open the opportunity to render real service in turn. “Give me a drink” is commonplace, but it le^l to genuine salvation that day. Just as soon as the woman sensed the divinely spiritual relationship of this passing Jew she was canny in seeking Hid answer to the vexa tious proble m which kept Jews and Samaritans apart. “Where is the place to worship,” she queried. Place is only an incident, for the vital fact is the Person Who is worshipped and how the approach is rightly made. She was informed that “God is a Spirit,” and approach to His throne of mercy can be made from anywhere. Observe that the wo man gave answering belief and proclaimed the truth. V * V f THE EANIlYl DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. A TRAGEDY About three years ago, a housewife began to feel unable to perform her usual duties; she consulted a physician, who found a small tumor of the uterus. She was about 46. The doctor kept hgr under observa tion; saying “I can remove the thing at any time, but will try to cure without operation, if possible.” He observed that the tumor grew rapidly, in spite of his palliative measures. The patient grew dissatisfied, and changed doctors. The new one paid no attention to the tumor, and said she hid diabetes, placing her on a strict diet at once. Not feeling any better as thne went on, the patient had the “staff chemist” of 9 quack institution make a urinalysis; this self-styled “ex pert” discovered that the patient had Bright’s disease! . . . Time went on-dragged on. Haemorrhages set in, which with the. diet, greatly weakened the poor woman. A third doctor said it was “the change” and that “all women were troubled that way.” / On advice from her second physician, she went to a hospital .in the nearby city. Here she was subjected to a clinical diagnosis, and was told that it was not advisable to do anything radical at that time. She returned home and kept on dieting—and losing. She applied to me about one week ago at this writing. *1 found ab- ajlutely no diabetes or Bright’s disease. A search for the source of the Weeding revealed cancer, involving nearly every organ within the pelvis, and long past the stage When operation cou^d do more than to hasten the end! She has no prospect of living over sLx months, if that long. Had this growth been removed PROMPTLY by the first physician .and he was capable—she might be well today; but the vitally precious Interval has passed, and by neglect and utter ignorance of conditions. Unless one knows that it is NOT a malignancy, it is better to op erate than to take chances. Remember that. l' R % tr 1 DON’T GAMBLE WITH A COLD Neglecting a cold is a real gamble for you never know what it may develop into. You can save your health and piuch disagreeableness by treating your cold with our re liable remedies right at the start. WE HAVE THE 'REMEDIES YOU NEED Remedies that have proven their merit by test. They will prevent and break up colds in short order. It is a mighty wise idea to pay our store a visit and secure a sup ply of the needed items so you will have them ready. STROMS’ DRUG STORE MAIN STREET McCORMICK. S. C. STOPPING WAR My friend Admiral Samuel McGowan was purchasing agent for the Navy during the World War. He saw something of the fine idealism and sacrifice which war calls forth. But he saw, also, how greed and profiteering and the basest sort of selfishness wrap themselves in the cloak of patriotism and pro ceed cold-bloodedly to exploit the public necessity. He sends me his plan for preventing war, to which I am glad to give wide publicity. ( j - i 1 , “Amend the Constitution,’’ he urges, “so as to require that before war can be declared or participated in (except only in the event of attack or invasion) there shall be a Referendum: “That if a majority of the votes cast be for peace, there the matter ends; if for war, every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 35 shall be drafted, and “That from the day war is declared until peace is finally concluded, no price or wage shall exceed what it was 90 days prior to such declara tion' “That all profits in excess of 5 per cent shall be forfeited to the Gov ernment, and that no person, firm or corporation shall in peace-time or war-time be received as a contractor who is not a manufacturer, or a regular dealer, in the articles to be supplied—regular dealer being none other than one who, at the time the offer is submittd, either owns outright the articles offered or dependably controls their source of supply.” I cannot see how any intelligent patriotic person can object to that proposal. If we had the sense and courage to write it into the Con stitution at once we should destroy war propaganda, for no one would be so foolish as to spend money on propaganda when no money could possibly be made from war., We should entirely remove the present^ premium on war ^nd in its stead impose a very heavy penalty. The silliness of war, under modern conditions of destructiveness, is almost as appalling as its horror. Napoleon liked to tell the story of the Dey of Algiers who, on hearing that the French were fitting out an expedition to destroy the town, sent word that if the king would give him half the money that the ex pedition would cost he wbuld bum the town down himself. Qpr experience^ with war costs and war debts ought to have taught that Ifes Dey was a pretty wise old owl! BE READY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY ProcTastination never got anybody anywhere.' Now is the time to start saving so that you will be jready to “cash in” on any opportunity that may com6 your way. WE INVITE YOUR ACCOUNT . t * ’ \ , Save with this bank and you will receive full co-operation when you need help or advice. ' IKE PEOPLES OINK McCORMICK, S. C.

This pure vegetable preparation brings quick comfort, and can never harm. It is the sensible thing when children are ailing. Whether it’s the stomach, or the uttle bowels; colic or constipation; or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever there’s need of gentle regulation. Chil dren love the taste -of Castoria, and its mildness makes it safe for frequent use. And a more liberal dose of Castoria is always better for growing children than strong medicine meant only for nrlnll USC- f Schedule Of Services At Colored Churches Schedules of services at the Col ored Churches are as follows: Young Mt.
