HARPER T Honesty in All Things. Lesson for Nov. 21: Exodus 20:- 1S; Leviticus 19:11, 13; Luke 19:- 1-10, 45, 46. Golden Text: Exodus 20:15. 4»- The wide range given the com mand against stealing as given in the lesson is important. Leviticus forbids dealing falsely and lying one to another, while two in stances in the ministry of Jesus show that dishonesty may * take varied turns. According to his own statement, Zacchaeus had not been honest in his dealings as a tax collector under the Romans, but had ex torted exorbitant sums from his own people. In the hour of his conversion, he realized and con fessed the wrong, declaring his willingness to, make Restitution. r The high priest and. : his asso ciates had profaned the temple in exploiting the pietjr<jf the people, doubtless enjoying a “rake-off** from “concessions” to money changers and dealers in sacrificial animals who had booths within the sacred enclosure. Jesus was aroused by the unholy traffic and he swept the temple clean. Men can be dishonest by taking unfair advantage, false represen- ; tation, cheating on examination and on the^ placing field, with holding" from the government, "beating a corporation,” profit ing by the mistakes of others. A woman told with satisfaction that through a salesman’s error she had been given twice what she asked for—yards enough to make two dresses instead of one. Slot machines are “one-armed ban dits” and all forms of gambling weaken the moral fibre of those who indulge. Let our people be on the guard against everything that would weaken their will to be honest in all things. X Mt.

HULLABALOO By LYTLE HULL INTERNATIONAL ‘LINE UPS’ “•'NOV. 8. < It aeems to some Americans that the almost violent agitation no"’ going or -for postwar alii- ■a;; ..s, t catie;;, agreements and commitments, is a bit hurried— if not premature. The war isn’t over yet—it may be a long time before it is. Many changes of attitude and thought can occur before Germany and Japan are defeated. There might even be changes in the present military “line-ups.” There already have been several in this war; and there has seldom been a long war which involved a number of nations, or factions, in which the original military combinations have remained unchanged. International alliances and treaties are made for reasons of expediency and self-interest—just as combinations in farm organi zations or business corporations or labor unions, etc., are created: for mutual protection or for trade MASTER’S SALE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County Of McCormick. ^urt Of Common Pleas. .

The objective is laudable, and practical to a certain point: but—as has al ways been the case—such an al liance will remain in force just so long as the signatories find their participation expedient and beneficial. Circumstances alter cases—necessity creates these in ternational agreements — and changed conditions break them up.

Their “zone of < operation” may be South Carolina rather than the South Seas, it may* be the high- • way to the next town rather than the air ways across the Atlantic, but-thbir job is 1 fundamentally the same — protecting us and ours. We South Carolinians can indeed be proud of our police organizations city, county dr state. Most of us have few Occasions to call upon the advice Of our police forces -— but that in- itself is a '; tiibutae?to their *efficien^y. TheyYe on the job day and r.ight whether we need them or not. Some of us in the Greyhound organiza tion, because of the nature of our work, have more frequent occasion to co- • operate with the police than do many of our fellow citizens of South Carolina. For instance, we are in a position to see clearly how much the police bf this com munity, as well as those of neighboring communities, have contributed to the safety and convenience of bus transpor tation. The aid these men have given in ; arranging the most practical and satis- faCtory routes through towns and cities is typical of their skillful handling 6f all traffic problems. Greyhound’s most important job, as we see it, is to make near and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve in' South Carolina —%and we feel that the able cooperation of police forces throughout the State has made it possi ble for us to do this job with greater efficienrv.
