Old Man River
Prom The Augusta Chronicle,
Jan. 6.
The highest stage the Savannah
river has reached since 1929 was
attained on yesterday morning
when the guage at the Fifth street
bridge showed 31 feet. It was a
novel sight for Augustans to see
the majestic river “rollin’ along,”
moving upon her turgid breast
quantities of driftwood which had
come from the lowlands of the
river proper and i^s tributaries all
the way up to the mountains.
There was a liberal number of
several days, store the water and
lise it when we need it. The allur
ing possibilities of such a. plan
should make every Augustan con
fident of the golden future of this
city, a city which should quadruple
in the next 25 years as the result
of such an improvement. The
Chronicle believes that a dam at
Clark’s Hill should be built for nav
igation purposes only, feeling that
the future development of Augusta
as an inland port would justify
it. In this we are in disagreement
with distinguished engineers, but
we are confident that when the
three fold advantages of power,
navigation and flood control are
to be secured, then such construc-

Lesson for January 12th.
Luke 2:25-40.
Golden Text: Luke 2:30, 31.
The picture of the “upright and
God-fearing” Simeon holding the
baby Jesus in his arms and bless
ing Him, on the occasion of the
presentation in the Temple, is most
attractive. Simeon’s piety was quite
different from that of the scribes,
revealing deeper insight and Spirit
uality. Like Zacharias, the father
cf John the Baptist, and Anna,
the prophetess, he belonged to that
group of humble, devoted Jews
who longed for the liberation of
Jerusalem.
The beautiful prayer of thanks
giving pronounced by Simeon, call
ed the “Nunc Dimittis,” so endeared
itself to the Christian world that
from the 4th or 5th century it has
been used as a part of the evening
liturgy in many churches. Note
that it includes, within the scope
cf its thought, the non-Jewish
world. Christ, according to Simeon,
is “a light to shine upon the Gen
tiles.” Here we have that universal
touch so characteristic of St. Luke.
There are two types of patriot
ism. The first is a distinctly
national variety which the Jews
cultivated with peculiar fervor. A
fine expression of it is in the 137th
pealm, where the writer cries, “If
I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let
my right hand forget her skill.”
The second type of love for
fatherland is on a larger scale. It
is international in character, and
is well voiced by Simeon in his
considerable amount of back water
from the canal which overflowed
low places in the city, but the 31
foot river barely wet the “toes” of
the levee and a river which would
have 25 years ago created much ex
citement is now a matter of but
passing momentary interest. Thus
do we progress and the millions
that we have expended and are
expending upon our great protect
ing wall, the levee, was the best
we are also strongly hopeful that
the president will approve such
report and give instructions to go
forward.
