The total for the State was made public on Tuesday, December 8. (Quantities are in running bales. initial meeting early in the sum mer was held merely to stimulate nu,eresi.

And The Supreme Gift of Love. Lesson for December 20th. 1 John 4:7-19. Golden Text: Luke 2:14. The words from the first letter of John chosen for our lesson, and •specially the glorious angelic song »et aside as the Golden Text, have a serene quality reminding one of that striking phrase of the prophet Isaiah, “Your strength is quiet faith.” But some one asks, “How can we be calm and steadfast this Christ- mas when the world is in such a dreadful condition?” First of all, let us act serenely. We pay too much attention to our feelings, and not nearly enough to action. As Prof. James reminds us, we must "kit up cheerfully, look round cheerfully, and act and speak as If cheerfulness were already there.” In the second place, we need to let close to nature, to look often at the stars and the hills. The Christ mas narrative breathes the spirit •f God’s out-of-doors. And we must never forget that Jesus was a country boy and man. He knew Intimately, as his teachings make k> clear, the birds, beasts and flow ers. • I would also recommend listening to music, and taking music our selves. Christmas is of immense help here, for it is the season of hearty and triumphant song. Some cnc has said, “There is no great art without serenity.” Well, one finds j a tranquil composure in the famil iar strains of “Holy Night” and other Christmas carols. Then again we can find peace of mind if we learn to walk in the quiet path of patience. Consider the extremely critical issue of peace. Because peace comes so slowly we say it is never going to come. How absurd! It took two cen turies to establish the King’s peace In mediaeval England, but it was done! It will take many decades of the hardest kind of work to schieve world peace, but it, too, will come to pass! And let us ever remember that Hie final decision is in God’s hands. “Rest in the Lord, and await pa tiently for Him.” xx “Natchel” Program Makes Bow On Radio organization, such as the one that,^ a fac j. among mankind’s has been formed in Augusta. txt Plans For Drive Linters are not included.)

In this movement, NOTICE OF TAX SALE county agent and the Chamber of Commerce, a history-making meet ing was held in Augusta early in the summer of this year. At that meeting, many significant facts were brought to the attention of some 300 livestock producers, farm ers, railroad agricultural agents, county teachers of vocational agri culture and business men. An nouncement was made that the bankers were prepared to lend money at a low rate of interest with livestock as collateral.” O.'e important fact overlooked by The Enquirer-Sun is that the pro- troters of the livestock movement in this area spent a whole summer organizing this association.
