Six Inch Sermon BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER God the Creator. Lesson for July 5: Genesis 1:1-5. 24-31; 2:1. Golden Text: Genesis 1:1. . In passing from studies in the life of Christ to studies in Gene sis in the third quarter, we fit tingly think in the first lesson of God the Creator. Genesis means origin and ap propriately the book of that name is first in the Bible, while the first verse of that book, used as the Golden Text, reads: “In the be ginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This statement should help us understand the great Book which has the grand peculiarity of being the revelation of God to men. This lesson presents the work of God as the Creator. He first call ed light into the chaos—light that , warms the earth in springtime, and is ’a fine symbol of all great ' truth which inspires to high hu man experience and achievement. ! Growing things, then living things were created after their kind—to dwell in the waters, fly in the air, and live on the land. Last God created man in his own im age and after his likeness—to have dominion over every living thing. It is said that God saw that his work was good. It was in har mony with his wisdom. Every thing in his universe would move in harmony. Only, man, the high est of God’s creation, is able to disobey God’s law. But the ^beau tiful evidence of gracious design in God’s creative work should lead us to trust the divine wisdom and give ourselves freely to God in co-operation with him for our good. x STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA THE PUBLIC SERVICE SOMMIS- SION COLUMBIA June 23, 1942 NOTICE MT 388 IN RE: DOCKET NO. 3000 — The Application of W.

Don C. Faith is reported to be reading, among other things, a book entitled “Ed ucation of the Modern Girl.” Preventing Inflation Important to Farmers Clemson, June 27.—In the light of the dangers of inflation and consequent deflation, the natural question is. What can we do to aid in preventing inflation? says O. M. Clark, Clemson extension economist, in discussing infla tion with special reference to farm people. In answer he says in substance: In 1942 the total income avail able for buying goods for civilian use will be about 25 per cent greater than the value of the available goods at expected 1942 prices. If prices are left uncheck ed they will rise enough to take up all of this money. This would add billions to the cost of the war, would make the war harder to win, and would set the stage for a disastrous deflation later. Paying higher prices for land, livestock, etc., than the produc tivity and prevailing prices of the products would justify is a form of speculation which tends to force prices up. Don’t speculate. All forms of credit and install ment buying have the effect of adding to the amount of money available for purchasing goods and services and to that degree will tend to push prices up. When prices are inflated is a good time to pay off debts and mortgages but a poor time to make thenj. People generally can contribute to the war effort and help pre vent inflation by buying war bonds and stamps. This would put money into uses which would not tend to stimulate inflation 1 and would make less burdensome the taxes necessary for paying off these bonds in after years. Farmers could help the situa tion by producing their . own needs as far as practicable. This would reduce to that degree their cost of living, relieve to that ex tent the burden upon our trans portation facilities, and tend to lessen the price-raising influences by reducing the demand for these products on the market. * “The whole problem of prevent ing inflation,” Mr. Clark con cludes, “might be considered as a battle to aid in wipning the war and to have a sound economic situation after the war. Every individual might consider him self a soldier in the fight, and like a good soldier act as if the whole result depended upon what he did.” x <t McCormick Wateir Supply Report ■ « Charleston, S.

DixieCrysta Pure Cane Sugar ADS For SALE IN OUR NEXT ISSUE BODY-SNATCHING On December 7, 1941, at a place called Pearl Harbor in the Ha waiian islands — Interventionism, Non-interventionism, Isolationism and Warmongerism died a sudden death. They were buried in a shal low grave from which they are constantly being “snatched” for reasons which are none too pa triotic. And though this is cer tainly no time to be resurrecting these dead issues, someone is con tinually dragging them from the sepulcher and jitterbugging them around. There are no longer any living Interventionists or Non-interven tionists. There is nothing to in tervene or not to intervene in. We are in—right up to the neck; and the only way to get. out is to form a human chain and pull ourselves and each other out. Ohe break in that chain and we can sink over our heads in a quagmire of de feat. When this great war started in Europe practically every American was a Non-interventionist; but as it progressed, more and more of our citizens were drawn to the conclusion that—for the good of our country—we should become active participants on the side of Britain and her Allies. Just prior tq the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, millions of Americans had adopted this point of view. Still more millions were convinced in their own minds that.it was bet ter for the country to assist the Allies but to remain aloof if pos sible from actual combat. Argu ment waxed hot; cheap abuse be came the order of the day. Even at that time name-calling was un justified; for of our 139 million population only a fraction argued from a purely selfish standpoint. Which side was right and which wrong, probably even time won’t tell; but right or wrong, the heat which was generated was for the most part the result of patriotic fervor and not of selfishness. These differences of opinion on great issues are not confined sole ly to this country nor to this pe riod in time. They have always existed in every country—unless recorded history is false or 1 human nature gone awry. They existed among Americans before the First World war; before the Civil war; and before every other war in which we have been involved. They will live again before future wars.. In other countries identical phenomena precede similar e- vents; though it must be admit ted that other people bury their dead issues and leave the bodies in peace. There has been, unfortunately, a wave of thought traveling over the country, since our recent na val-air successes in the Pacific, to the effect that eventual victory is just naturally going to drop into our laps. Those who believe this are reckoning without any knowl edge of the facts. These facts in dicate that we have ahead of us a dreadful struggle; and that it is going to take every ounce of our strength—and of that of our Al lies—to win the victory. They in dicate that we cannot spare the time nor the energy to fight a- mong ourselves. They indicate that the trifling hardships which we have thus far experienced are but the “foothills” to the moun tains of sacrifice which we must cross unless „we are willing to see our country sink into the abyss of its first defeat. They indicate that the puny loans which we have thus far made to our cause through the purchase of a few War Stamps and Bonds, must be increased. May God help us to see in time the terrible danger of internal .friction and of self-confident re laxation. We like to call ourselv es Patriots. Let us prove that claim by foregoing, for the dura tion, the pleasure of smearing each other with the residuum from long-dead and thoroughly decayed differences of opinion. £.Vatoie. Constant care is the watch word for successful house-keeping. Lack of good management may be responsible for accidents in the home, so why not make a “survey” of your house for safety. How about the stairways? Are hey well-lighted? Is there an adequate hand-rail? Is the car- oet well tacked to the floor? If you use tread mats are they se curely fastened to the steps? Are the steps free from an accumula tion of articles to be carried up stairs the next time somebody makes the trip? In vour fervor of houseclean ing did vou wax the floors until hey shone to the nth degree? ^mall rugs on waxed floors are very dangerous so remove the slipperiness under the rugs and anchor them firmly to the floor. Are all the bottles in your medi cine cabinet labeled distinctly? Do you have a sturdy step- ladder to boost you uo to the high places in your house? Are your firm in your decree that ash trays shall never be emptied into waste baskets? Do you keep plenty of holders near your kitchen range and are they big enough and thick enough to protect your hands? Do you watch the handles of your sauce pans when you are cooking? Turn the handles in so they can’t extend over the edge of the range top. A flying sleeve or children’s exploring hands catching at protruding handles might cause q. bad burn. * * * If you want to attract birds to your yard and garden you should include some native bushes in ’ your hedge-row. Elderberries, wild J plum, blackberries and hawthorns will lure the orioles and song sparrows and all other birds. A mulberry tree planted in an out of the way corner of the grounds will prove a favorite haunt for all kinds of birds. / * Humming-birds particularly like petunias and four o’clocks, salvia, trumpet creeper and the cypress vine. * * * Be sure to supply support for those plants that need it. It’s such a pity for a garden to be bent and twisted and ruined be yond recall by the rain and heavy gusts of a hard thunder shower. Height, massive . bloom and nat ural habit of growth makes sup port necessary for many plants. The size of the plant determines the support required. For, exam ple dahlias need sturdy supports, six-foot wqoden stakes, at least an inch square at the base. Set them a foot to 18 inches deep at time of planting to prevent dam- ( age to the tuber. !
