Spectator . . .
The "Outlook for South Carolina is
promising. Never before have I known
so much thought to be given to the
economic development of the State.
Businesmen are becoming State-mind
ed, and politicians are becoming busi
ness-minded. I say politicians, but I
mean some men in public life, for the
word “politician” is not one that car
ries either hope or confidence. We
have in public office many men who
are alive to the problems facing the
state, and we have many men who are
alert only to catch votes by any appeal
that will make votes. It is true also
that many men in public life are not
especially active either for or against
the development of the basic econo
mic interests of the State. They are
matched, however, by a great number
of business men who never see any
farther than their own desks, who
take no interest in public affairs ex
cept to grumble and who refuse to co
operate with those who are trying to
do something. The narrow, utterly
selfish type of businessman is no more
helpful to the larger development of
the State than is the self-seeking poli
tician who lives by public favor and
gives to big public issues just the
turn which will be most readily ac
cepted by the ignorant and the pre
judiced.
One thing stands out in a Demo
cracy. The few must do all the real
work and contribute all the money.
That should not discourage either the
broadminded, public-spirited business
man or public official who gives of his
time and means to the general public
interest. Do all the church members
contribute of their time and means to
the furtherance of the Kingdom of
God? Not by any means! Inquire of
most church treasurers and you will
find that a small percentage of the
membership sustains and fosters the
propagation of the Gospel throughout
the world. Even for the most ordin
ary expenses of the local church the
same is true. Yet all people benefit
directly through the ministry of the
church. And, frequently, those who
seem most indifferent to the needs of
the church, in dollars and cents, make
the most calls on the pastor for ser
vices of one sort or another.
In every undertaking—of what
ever kind — it is the same. A few
carry the burden. Perhaps it would
not be amiss to say that a few carry
the torch which lights the way. Eleven
Apostles started the movement to
evangelize the world. Perhaps the
problem is to find eleven men so i-
bued with the spirit that they carry

Parables of (he Kingdom.
Lesson for December (7: Matthew
13:3-8, 31-33, 44-46.
Golden Text: Isaiah 55:3.
“Things on earth are but a shad
ow of the heavenly,and men have
tried to go from what they knew to
what they knew not. Jesus illustrat
ed the kingdom by familiar things—
birds, lilies, fields, the ordinary acti
vities of men.
He told the disciples he used the
parable to help the people understand
his teachings, and to lead them to in
vestigate the truth further. In the
lesson are the parables of the Sower,
Mustard Seed, Leaven, Hidden Treas-
use, Pearl of Great Price.
The first illustrates the several
kinds of hearers of the gospel. The
seed is good. All depends upon the
soil. The Mustard Seed shows how
great things come from little. In
less than three centuries, the cross of
Jesus was lifted above the Roman
eagles, while now the kingdom is
spreading to the islands of the sea.
The Leaven indicates the spread of
the kingdom in the ways of society
and the hearts of men.
The remaining parables teach the
supreme value of the kingdom. Men
must give up everything to enter it.
Bat they are not really called upon
to give up anything that is good. They
are to give it the proper place. They
must seek first the kingdom of God.
So good men should have a sense
of proportion. TTiey must set first
things first. And if inordinate affec
tions make anything into an idol,
the would-be disciple should say, in
the language of one of the hymns
“The dearest idol I have known
whate’er that idol be; help me to tear
it from Thy throne, and worship only
Thee.”
on with burning zeal where faint
hearts would not dare to go.
In South Carolina we have in pub
lic life and in business enough men
of first-rate ability to put us into the
onward sweep of industrial progress.
What stands in our way and what
do we need?
Before going into this let us make
the point that we can all agree, I am
confident, that we want all the public
services we have. I do not mean that
the services are one hundred per cent
efficient, I man only that the public
seems to expect a lot of service and
that the services we have are too cost
ly for our income. Obviously, then,
if we want what we now have, and
are really too poor to keep up this
pace, we must get more revenue. But
there is a tremendous difference be
tween getting more revenue from
having more wealth invested here and
in getting more revenue by squeezing
dry those who now pay the taxes.
Let us now answer the questions.
Some of our laws stand in the way.
The tendency of some juries to penal
ize big enterprise is in the way. The
frequent introduction of hostile bills
in the Legislature stands in the way.
Those obstacles can be removed, and
should be removed. Once we realize
that we pay all the bills we shall see
that we are cutting our own throats.
If capital invests here it creates
jobs; it also creates customers for our
milk, eggs, vegetables, chickens, etc.,
etc.; also it adds to the taxpayers.
All that benefits you and me. I am
not arguing for capital, but for the
benefits which |new capital can bring
to us. If we don’t get new capital
we shall either continue to strain un
der the burden of taxes or we must
cut off some of the services.
Thousands of people pay almost
no taxes, or are ignorant of the fact,
■that they pay taxes. But most of
them enjoy all the benefits which our
tax money makes possible. In our
state every child can go to a free
school. Taxes make that possible. All
of us enjoy police protection. That
comes from taxes. We have protec
tion against epidemics. More tax
money. It may be summed up by
saying that the schools, the public
health service and police protection
are free to all. But surely those who
don’t pay direct taxes are interested
in keeping up the services. They
should be interested in bringing about
conditions making it easy to provide
these services.
If we don’t develop new sources of
public income we cannot continue to
develop public out-go. I-don’t mean
that we must increase the taxes or in
vent some new methods of extortion.
I mean that we must earn more so
that we may pay more. Nothing in
recent years has stood so much in
need of emphasis as that. We have
spent and taxed and created and kept
on creating, expanding, spending, tax
ing, etc., etc., absolutely without any
real survey of the earning power of
the people. We have yielded to ap
peals, representations, clamors, pres
sure — and everything but a fair
study of the condition of the people.
That has never been due to a cynical
attitude of contempt for the people.
It has been due to the overwhelming
appeals made by good men and wo
men who plead for what they regard
as some great public need. Of course;
there are men and women and child
ren living all about us who have very
little of the good things of life. Yet
the Messiah himself, with full sym
pathy and all power, did not try to
relieve all poverty, misery or dis
tress in one week. He, with supernal
wisdom, let mankind solve its prob
lems through individual effort, thru
trial and error, thru suffering and
sorrow, thru aspiration and striving.
The habit of looking only at wants
and spending is one which will bank
rupt a nation as surely as it will an
individual. Governments may tax and
tax, but investors will some day hold
their money rather than submit to
insatiable demands and exactattons.
We are perilously near that 01 idi-
tion in the United States today.
Why can’t we use a little coral ion,
horse-sense in our public affairs.
The invasion 0 f Finland by Ra >sia
proves again that nothing counts to
day but might. Years ago the Japan
ese began to exploit China. The na
tions of the world looked on while
China was carved as fast as Japan
could digest the portion. That is
still going on, Japan becoming bolder
and bolder, even daring to insult the
British lion, and actually sinking an
American gunboat. She feels pretty
cocky and is still crowing over the
Chinese, even now threatening to
seize British and Dutch possessions
in Asia. Then Hitler came upon the
scene and Germany began, little by
little, to re-take what had been taken
from her. Again nothing was done.
Then Italy ruthlessly overran Ethio
pia, while all the nations looked on.
Germany became bolder and absorb
ed Austria, then Czecho-Slovakia.
Nothing was done. Then Germany
smashed Poland to pieces. That pfo-
voked a war with Britain and Frav e.
This war is a belated effort to s( ip
the practice of seizing and domi^ t-
ing other nations at will.
The latest phase of this interna
tional robbery is the effort of Russia
to take Finland.
The people of the world ar» im
perilled by two dominant l * of
modem government: The firs M the
so-called totalitarian State, b) which
the State is everything and the people
are puppets to serve the State. We
of the United States believe that the
people are everything and that the
government is just the instrument to
do the will of the people. So we, in
theory, are the second of the two
dominant ideas.
Totalitarian States are Russia,
Germany, and Italy, yet the war
emergency brings Italy and France
nearer and nearer to dictatorship,
though Britain’s dictatorship is a
cabinet control, which may be stopped
by Parliament. France’s is about the
same. In no small means we have
aspects of dictatorship in the United
States. Ours, however, is by grant
of power to the President by Con
gress and can be taken from him by
Congress. The worst governmental
power granted by Congress is that
which allows the National Labor Re
lations Board to proceed in one-sided
fashion against the industries of the
country. A dozen or more instru
mentalities have been created by Con
gress, most of which are more an
noying than useful; but the power to
sweep them out of existence belongs
to Congress.
Potato Day in old Clarendon prom
ises to be a notable occasion. Decem
ber 15 has been decided on as the day.
Anouncement has betn made that a
barbecue expert of recognized ability
will officiate at that end.
