Six Inch Sermon
BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
God Gives Laws for His Peo
ple.
Lessen for August 22: Exodus
27:1-9; Galatians 3:23-28; 5:13,
14.
Golden Text: Luke 10:27.
According to God’s promise to
Moses, the people had reached
Ifount Sinai. Following a nation
ca the march, we note develop
ment in organization. Joshua had
marshalled able men for war. Ad-
vfsed by his father-in-law, Moses
appointed judges over the people
and formed a code of laws. On
ffinai he received the Ten Com
mandments.
Among sundry ordinances given,
we consider today those directed
against slander, mob law, leniency
toward an offender if he be poor,
end against the slaying of an in
nocent man under false accusa
tion. Humane treatment to
beasts of burden is commanded.
The Israelites were to be kind
fwward strangers — remembering
tjieir own sufferings in Egypt.
In Galatians Paul writes of the
significance of the • law in the
history of his people. It had been
a schoolmaster to lead them to
Christ. It had revealed a right
eousness which could be gained
. only through faith in Jesus,
v: But liberty in Chilst isj not li
cense. Though Paui did =not Re
quire, as would have Jewish
Christians, that Gentile Christian:
keep -the ceremonial law, he did
require the keeping cf the mora-
law. And through Jhe^ love which
comes by faith in Christ, th c
moral law may be kept, for “love
worketh no ill” to a neighbor, and
is “the -fulfilling of the law.’
“For the whole law is fulfilled in
one word,” writes the apostle, “ev
en in this: Thou shalt love tir
neighbor as thyself.”

Farm News
(By G. W. Bonnette,
County Agent)
The feed shortage that we are
facing, and will face to a greater
degree, should be a sound argu
ment for increased small grains.
Early planting, good seed, ferti
lizer when planting, treatment for
smut, and plenty of seed per
acre are factors that jnust be
carefully considered.
Good seed oats are scarce, so
get yours before the rush and
rise in price. I ordered Mr. Vance
Ellison 5 bushels of Fulgrain seed
oats from Coker’s Farm this week.
Smut is gaining ground and by
all means should be fought by
treating seed with any of the
recommended methods.
Grazing for poultry and live
stock is important any year, but
with the “Feed” shortage every
one should put in a grazing
crop. Plant in early September
and put at least 4 bushels of oats
per acre, or the equivalent in
other grains.
The corn crop is very prom
ising, the hay crop is abundant,
the potato crop looks favorable,
and the cotton crop—well I’m a-
fraid the extremely hot weather
is going to cause some disap
pointment in yield.
Gardens have about changed
their name from Victory Gardens.
We must make every effort for a
fall garden with plenty of green
leafy vegetables therein.
The Annual Extension Confer
ence which your agent attended
last week had as its theme—
“Food and Feed to Win the War.”
Some topics discussed — Increas
ing of small grain acreage,, bet
ter pastures, winter grazing crops
farm labor, Victory gardens, and
sweet potatoes.
The Cannery at McCormick is
running in full swing. I came by
there and found about a dozen
people busy putting up beans,
soup mixture, and tomatoes. See
Porter Dorn, Jr., for a date to
can.

Chevrolet Dealers
Set New All-Time
Service Record
What’s Happening in the Dark?
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 6.—In the
first six months of 1943, Chevrolet
dealers continued to set new all-
time records in servicing the na
tion’s cars and trucks, according

Every hour of the day headline news of
overwhelming interest to every person
in South Carolina is being made all over
the world. But without our modern com
munication systems and particularly our
newspapers it would be next to impossi
ble to find out what’s going on.
Getting even closer to home, we wouldn’t
know what local boys are back on fur
lough—what the ball scores are—who’s
getting married and when—what’s hap
pening in the comic-strip world—what
events are taking place all over town.
All of us should feel proud of the fine job
newspapers are doing to keep South
Carolina in touch with the times. It’s a
strong and free press, serving free peo
ple—one of the first things the dictators
would suppress if they had the chance!
And it would be hard to over-estimate
the part played by South Carolina’s 16
dally newspapers and 69 weekly news*-
papers in furthering the war effort.
Nearly 400,000 people buy these papers
—far greater numbers read them—the j
whole State relies upon them for infor- <
mation and inspiration.
For this reason Greyhound depends
upon such newspapers as this one to
carry its information on bus service to
those South Carolinians who travel.
Greyhound, in turn, carries many news
papers to rural areas not served by any
other transportation system. ‘ v
As fellow citizens of this State, the Grey
hound Lines take much pleasure in help-*
ing to make near neighbors and goocf
neighbors of all the communities we
serve in South Carolina—linking them
to each other and to the rest of the coun
try, as newspapers do.

to William E. Holler, general sales
manager, Chevrolet Motor Division
of General Motors. Customer la
bor volume in the first half of
this year, he said, showed an 11
per cent increase over the first
six months of 1942.
Customer labor volume in June,
1943, he reported, was the largest
in Chevrolet dealers’ history.
“The sustained record-breaking
volume of service being done by
Chervolet dealers is clearly indi
cative of two significant facts,”
said Mr. Holler. “First, the own
ers and operators of all motor ve
hicles in this country are becom
ing increasingly conscious of the
necessity for keeping their trans
portation equipment in condition
to last for the • duration and to
operate with maximum efficiency.
“Also, since more than one-
fourth of all cars and one-third
of all trucks in the nation are
Chevrolets, the continuing in
crease in service volume repre
sents an admirable contribution
by Chevrolet dealers to the main
tenance of essential civilian
transportation. With this country
and our Allies taking the offen
sive and vastly expanding mili
tary effort on all fighting fronts,
a greater and greater burden is
being put on transportation facil
ities of the home front. More
workers must get to and from
their jobs. More raw materials
must be brought to the mills and
factories to be processed into
weapons and supplies needed by
our fighting men. More finished
products must get to the rail
heads and loading docks for ship
ment overseas. More food and
produce of the farms must be
transported. Motorized transpor
tation is indispensable to this
whole process. The nation’s au
half

ig to
ser-
of
cars.
that
the
tomotive transportation facilities
must be conserved and maintained
with ever increasing efficiency.
It is the duty of every car or
truck user to “Save the Wheels
that Serve America.”
“Records for the fi
the year show also t
let dealers are contin
vice more varied mak
than ever before.
“When you consider that the
dealers’ service record was made
despite severe driving restrictions
and gasoline rationing, particu
larly in the East, an increasingly
acute manpower shortage and
other war-born handicaps, the
growing tendency toward effec
tive motor vehicle conservation
in this country becomes more
evident.
“Checking back on our figures
to the entrance of the United
States into the war discloses that
dealers’ customer labor volume at |
the end of June this year was |
actually running about 25 per
cent above what it was in No- ,
vember, 1941, since the increase,
for 1942 over 1941 was 14.1 per
cent.”
