St. John 4 about the home. By placing this great institution in our care, He ex pects us to be faithful in making it a home where He can reign. When God told Hezekiah. “Set thine house in order", it was easy for Hezekiah to bring to remembrance of God how he had walked before Him. Could we do as Hezekiah if our summons should come? Would we feel that we had done our duty to God. our home, our church? The greatest plan for home defense is to make our homes a “House of prayer” as in Isa. 56:7. If we had more homes that had God for their defense, refuge, and strength, then we’d have more homes where the 5th commandment, “Honor thy father and mother” is being kept. Surely we’re living in a day when this commandment is far from being kept. Truly if we have homes where God reigns, we’ll have homes where marriage vows are kept, family al tars erected and the Bible read. Then we’d have homes wherein it would be said with the psalmist, David, “1 was. glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.”—Ps. 122:1. SAVE THE HOME (Rev. J. A. Estes) We are all interested in the home, because we came from homes, we live in homes, and our young people plan to some day have homes of their own. When we step outside from our individual concerns and consider the nation, it grows more obvious that the real battleground for the moral life of America is the family. We may multiply inventions, build great businesses, and great temples, sup port fine schools, but there is no substitute for Christian parents. Let the family life decay, and there is no magic by which Christian religion can be maintained. Neither is there “THE LORD’S HERITAGE" (Rev. C. J. Matthews) Some signs of disintigration of the home are: Increase in divorce rate, decrease in birth rate, lack of family unity, increased intemperance and adultry among married people, lack of parental authority and discipline. Some suggestions for correction are: (1) Recognition that marriage has a stronger motive than social pride, pysical passion, or economic advan tage. “Children are an heritage of the Lord.’’ The true bond of union is LOVE, not LUST. A happy home does not lie in the direction of the divorce court. (2) Establishment of family worship. II Sam. 6:20 and I Tim. 2:4. (3) Reestablishment of the home as the center of authority. (Prov. 22:6) (4) Christian consis tency on part of the parents. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HOME _ i any magic which America can be There will be a one per cent (1%), saved as a civilized nation. For the sake of all we hold sacred, let us save the home! For the sake of the kingdom of God, we must save the home! For the sake of sav ing America during these days of discount on general County taxes through October 30, 1940. On and after January 1, 1941, the Penalties prescribed by law will be imposed on unpaid taxes. You are requested to call for your j anxiety, we must save the home. taxes by School Districts in which 1 property is located. The Treasurer is not responsible for unpaid taxes not called for by districts. Those who had their dogs vaccinat ed for rabies during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1940 by one author- 1 ized by law, and expect to be exemp- i ted from dog tax will please bring their certificates of vaccination when appearing to pay taxes. RALPH B. BLACK, Treasurer Newberry County. (Rev. J. B. Mitchell) We believe that God would have us place more emphasis upon the home and its importance and place in the realm of life. Our homes will make and mould society, our com munities, the world and the Church. If this be true, surely every home should recognize that Unseen Guest and give Him place there. Certainly His mercies and love should be rec ognized at least during the meals. Parents exerting influence upon their children will determine whether they shall be criminals or law abiding citizens. The youth of our homes is looking to the parents for examples of good citizenship, and Christianity demonstrated in daily life. What does your home and home life mean to your children ?^ SAVE THE HOME (Rev. C. A. Calcote) The home is the basic unit of all human society. The moral stamina of our nation will never transcend that of our homes. The spiritual level of our churches will never be above that of our homes. Break down the home, and you have broken down the altar whereby men, nations, and empires survive. Democracies, the Christian Sabbath, the Christian church, and the Christian home stand or fall together. Never before in our generation has it been so imperative that we look to the health of our homes, because of the subtle attack of the liquor traffic, adultry, popular gambling, Sabbath desecration and tile looseness of our moral standards. All this coupled with, and resulting in, church indifference, general God lessness, is a challenge to parents who are jealous for the welfare of their children, and to all patriots who know what it means to save the home. Oliver Wendell Holmes says we should begin to train our children 100 years before they’re born. What emphasis such a fact places on the short duration of their home-life! Eighty-five per cent of our criminals come from Godless homes. When a youngster thrusts himself upon so ciety as a spoiled mistake, the spoil ing usually took place somewnere between the home fire-side and the front side-walk. Homes wherein children are taught to gamble at cards, taught intemperance by “harmless” cocktails, etc., taught dis obedience to all authority by being allowed to parental oversight, are the homes that become the breeding places of “respectable^’ profligates. Put a family altar hard by the nur sery door- Let the Ark of the Coven ant rest there . Put the Bible into the hands of the children. Take their hands in your hands, and lead them to the church, and lead them to like the things they ought to like. Build a church in thy house, where love in the ruling power, where Christ is reversed, and His church honored, and where God dwells,— then the angels of heaven will never cease to come and go to bless such a home with the dew of heaven. JOHNSTONE H. D. ICLUB The Johnstone H. D. club met at the school house Monday. The meet ing was called to order and scripture was read from 103rd Psakn. Miss Counts talked on the subject of elec tricity in the rural homes and how it has made farm life easier and more pleasant. A Valentine contest was then tried with Miss Counts as win ner. The hostesses, Mrs. E. B. Sligh and Mrs. James Sligh servea hot chocolate, sandwiches and cake, carry ing out the Valentine motif.

TYPEWRITER and ADDING MACHINE RIBBONS For Most All Make Machines At THE SUN office We Also Print All Sorts of Office forms Philadelphia, Feb. 8.—The inter nationally famous library of the late A. Edward Newton wi’J be sold at public auction at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York, beginning April 8. The library contains more than 2,000 rare books and papers and is valued at more than $1,500,000 by some dealers. Among the treasures in the collection is a famous Earl of Carysfort copy of the first folio of Shakespheare, for which Newton paid $62,000. Manusci pts of Charles Lamb’s “Dream Children” and Thomas Mardy’s “Far from the Madding Crowds”, along with a number of first printings of Dicken’ “Pickwick Papers” are part of the library In his will, Newton requested that the collection be broken up and sold so that other bibliophiles could en joy the pleasures he experienced in building it. The treasures will be dividedi al phabets ally and placed on the block in three parts. The first from A to D, will be sold on April 8, 9 and 10; the second, from E to M, will be auctioned on May 6 to 7, ana the third section, from N to T, will go on sale sometime next fall. Newton was recognized as owe of the greatest authorities on Dr. Sam uel Johnson and was the first presi dent of the Johnson Society of Great Britain. Just before Christinas the library of Congress published a brochure in his memory in which Archibald MacLeish, Congressional librarian, referred to him as “so long the most famous and most influential of American book collectors.” Newton began his collection with the purchase, fifty years ago, of Hazlitt’s “Montaigne” for $40. All through his lifetime his only interest was in his collection. An amusing anecdote is told about a young Bri tish girl who introduced herself as a captain of a hockey team. “Hockey,” he remarked, “Oh yes, it’s game, is it not? Do you play it with cards?” Among the almost priceless items which found their way into his bookshelves is a “suicide letter” writ ten by Harriet Shelley, wife of a poet shortly before her death. Another is an autographed sonnet by John Keats entitled, “A Dream after Read ing Dante’s Episode of Paolo and Francesca”, with many marked pas sages and drawings by the autnor. Also on the shelves, is an original manuscript map for Stevenson’s “Treasure Island”. There’s a copy of the original first edition of Boswell’s “Johnson”; a first edition in its ori ginal wrapper of “Omar Khayyam”; a first edition of “Robinson Crusoe”, and the original watercolor of Wil liam Blake’s most famous drawing, “The Morning Stars Sang Together”.

Carpenter’s , MRS. T. D. MARSHALL Mrs. T. D. Marshall died Tuesday morning February 6th at their home in Columbia at the age of 72. She had been ill since Christmas. Mrs. Marshall was formerly Miss Marion Spearman of Newberry, having mov ed to Columbia in her girlhood in 1884 with her parents James and Kate Leavell Spearman. She was the granddaughter of the late Colo nel John R. Leavell, long one of the most prominent citizens of Newber ry. Mrs. Marshall was the wife of T. D. Marshall of the Marshall clothing store of Columbia, to whom she was married June 21, 1887, having lived happily in that relation more than fifty years. She was of many noble characteristics and beautifully de voted to home and church and exem plified in life these virtues of woman hood. Funeral services for Mrs. Marshall were conducted Friday afternoon by the Rev. F. Clyde Helms, pdstor of the Shandcii Baptist church, due to vacancy of the pastorate of the First Baptist church of which she was a devout member. Many beautiful floral tributes attested to the high esteem of her many friends. Inter ment was in Elmwood cemetery. Two former Newberrians, Richard M. Caldwell and Dr. W. P. Houseal were among the group of honorary pallbearers. FISH PROPAGATION FUND IS OBTAINED Santee Authority Secures Money for U. S. to Put Up Small Dams BOY IS RESOURCEFUL Hampton.—Joe Altman, seventh grade pupil of Hampton, found a practical use for the kitchen cabinet without ever having taken home economics. The lad was assigned a letter to be brought in for the next day’s recitation; the letter was to be written in ink. When time came to. study th«. boy discovered tljat the much needed ink was lacking. Not to be out«*ine, he went to the kitchen, opened the cabinet, and took out a bottle of cake coloring. With this and pen he turned out a neat letter. The secret leaked out when Joe was questioned by teacher about the color of the ink, and his reply brought forth an apt commendation for the lad’s resourcefulness, in spite of the violet “ink”. Steps for fidh and game propaga tion and protection in the Santee- Cooper basin areas already are be ing taken. The South Carolina Public Service (Santee-Cooper) authority has ob tained funds which will assure pro tection of fl^h life, Robert M. Coop er, general manager of the project, divulged. The entire project area has been declared a game sanctuary for five years, under state law. A. A. Richardson, chief game warden, has charge of the protection of wild life in all properties secured by the authority. A 2,000-acre sanctuary for ducks and geese will be created in the Pinopolis reservoir area. “The South Carolina Public Ser vice authority has secured $200,000 exclusive of its loan and grant agreement with the public works ad ministration, from a fund available in Washington and has turned it over to the United States Fish and Wild life service” (formerly the bureau of biological survey), Mr. Cooper eaid. “They will construct secondary dams across the mouths of small creeks and inlets flowing into the reser voirs, in order to maintain c. con stant water level, so that propaga tion of fish will be guaranteed.^ Such a step never has been taken in connection with any other hydro electric development in this section, Mr. Cooper said. That fact ac counts for the dimunition of fish in Lake Murray, near Columbia, he ex plained. The Santee-Cooper authority is not permitted to use its regular funds for anything other than con struction and related costs. It there fore is working with appropriate state and federal services in de veloping these conservation plans. Many women are employed in munitions factories in Australia, causing a shortage of domestic ser vants. Mrs. J. G. “Buck” Raile is aow connected with the South Carolina Gas and Electric company at Parr. N
