Resolution Offered! by Eugene S. Blease at The
Democratic Convention Here Monday
Resolved by the democrats of New
berry county in convention assembl
ed:
1. In this critical war time, we
pledge our full suport in every way
to our beloved country, and especial
ly to those in the military, naval and
air forces who have been, and are
now, offering their lives in our coun
try’s defense. We realize for Ameri
ca to win the war that all the people
of America must suffer many incon
veniences, and must even make great
sacrifices. Such as may come to us,
we shall accept cheerfully, remem
bering at all times that the young
manhood and even many of our young
women are making greater sacrifices
than we who are at home will ever
be called upon to perform
2. That our war efforts may be
properly financed, and to prevent, as
far as it is possible, a burdensome
war debt being placed in the future
upon the youth of our country, we
give our hearty approval to the sug
gestion of our President, who is the
Commander in Chief of our armed
forces, that the annual net income of
no one, during the period of the war,
shall exceed the sum of $25,000.00,
and recommend that the Congress, by
appropriate legislation, shall put in
to effect this suggstion.
3. We believe in the right of men
and women engaged in industrial
work to organize for their mutual
protection, and in proper legislation
to regulate working hours and work
ing conditions in all industries, but
we assert that every adult person,
physically fit, whether he or she is
a member of a labor organization,
shall have the right to work more
than 40 hours per week in any plant
engaged in defense work, if such per
son desires so to do, and that he or
she shall be protected by law in the
exercise of that privilege to serve
our country in its time of need.
4. We declare strikes and lock
outs, especially in plants engaged in
the production of war materials and
supplies, are a menace to our country
at this time, when we are faced with
the gravest and greatest of all men
aces, and we favor our Government
taking proper.* steps, which will be
fair to both labor and capital, to pre
vent such strikes and lockouts.
5. The production of crops neces
sary for food, clothing and other war
supplies is a vital necessity, if we
are to have an early victory in the
contest in which America is now en
gaged, and the farmers and others,
who are engaged in such production,
should be assisted and encouraged
by the Government. That they may
receive the necessary assistance,
manual labor is required, and since
there is now a great shortage of such
labor, all public works, except such
as are necessary for the country’s de
fense, should be postponed until af
ter the war, and any and all laborers
engaged in the WPA, PWA, FWA,
NYA and any and all kindred organ
izations, who are in anywise fit to
perform services on the farm, should
be discharged from Governmental
employment, so that the demand for
farm labor may be satisfied to some
extent at least And to encourage
the farmers of the country in the
growing of food and clothing pro
ducts and to justify them in paying
fair wages to their laborers, our
Government should see that our
farmers receive fair prices for the
products of their farms.
6 That the Government may not
become totally insolvent or bankrupt,
and that our people, especially the
coming generations, may not be over
whelmed with the burden of taxation,
we declare that the Congress and all
those in authority should, where pos
sible, abolish, or reduce, or combine
bureaus, commissions and depart-
ments.
7. We declare that we are in favor
of strict economy in the appropria
tion and expenditure of money on the
part of Governmental authorities,
Federal, State, County and Munici
pal; that we are especially opposed
to legislation looking to compensa
tion by way of pensions or retire
ment allotments and allowances to
members of the Congress, and any
other public officials not already
provided for by law; that all those
holding public office, executive, leg
islative or judicial, whose salaries are
in excess of $5,000.00 per annum,
have during the time of the war,
such salaries reduced by at least
twenty-five per cent, of such excess,
If it be said that such reductions are
prohibited by the Constitution of the
United States, or by the Constitution
of this State, then we answer with
the statement that public officials
may voluntarily refund to the treas
ury of the United States, or to the
treasury of the State of South Caro
lina, such excess amounts of their
salaries and thereby maintain the
Constitutions of our State and Na
tion, for which Constitutions and the
principles thereof the soldiers, sail
ors, marines and air forces are now
fighting.
The Gospel In Song and Story
OR
“The Christian’s Experience”
By PAUL STEWART
Pastor First Baptist Church
PELZER, S. C.
(This program was first given on
a Sunday evening. Later it was
repeated on the radio. Expressions
of appreciation have led to publish
ing it.)
The pastor takes the lead of the
program. In each part he tells the
story, gives scripture or comments.
His last words in each part are
known by the choir, and without an
nouncement it sings the song. After
the last song, “Abide With Me,” is
sung, the organist continues to play
while the benediction is pronounced.
The choir says, “Amen!” at the close.
INTRODUCTION: Music is an aid
to faith. It is worship’ putting on
her garments of praise. Henry Ward
Beecher said: “The singing of sweet
hymns and tunes will go further to
cast the devil out of men’s minds
than any other exorcism which I
know of,’ Carlyle wrote, “O give
us a man who sings at his work.’
Walter S. Landor stated that “Music
is God’s gift to man, the only art of
heaven given to earth and the only
art of earth we take to heaven.”
The Christian life is the only life
worthwhile. “What is your life?’
James 4:14. Our lives are very
short at the longest. Since life is
short we should make the very best
of it. “Fill brightest hours with
labor, rest comes sure and soon.” At
this time we wish to present some
of the experiences of the Christian,
beginning with childhood and reach-
ng to heaven.
I. —CHILDHOOD.—Oh, the beau
tiful thought of innocent childhood.
Little children are the most precious
things in the world, more valuable
than silver or gold. Jesus loved lit
tle children.
“I think when I read that sweet
story of old
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as
la nbs to his fold
I should like to have been with Him
then.”
II. — THE GREATEST EXPER
IENCE OF THE CHRISTIAN IS
HIS CONVERSION.—Jesus said to
Nicodemus, ‘Ye must be bom again.’
He meant “be bom anew, from a-
bove.” There is something that must
occur to give you not only rights in
that kingdom, but a relationship to
that kingdom. It is the new birth.
“Ye must be bom again.”
Ill;—THE CHRISTIAN’S HOPE
IS CHRIST.—Christ is our rock, our
salvation. An old engineer of by
gone days was taking his train
across the Rockies of the West, and
on a down grade, roaring along at a
mile a minute, there suddenly flash
ed on his eyes a boy and a girl on
the track ahead in the cut. He
shouted to the fireman, threw on the
brakes and reversed the engine and
the train roared over the spot. When
they had' stopped men and women
leaped from the cars expecting to
see.mangled bodies of the children.
But they found them clinging to the
ledge of the rock by the side of the
track. When the girl heard the roar
of the train, she siezed her little
brother and leaped to the edge,
shouting in his ear, “Hold on to the
rock, Jimmie, hold to the rock!”
Friends, in the rush and turmoil,
doubt and unbelief of this world, we
need to hold to the Rock—the Rock
of Ages—Jesus Christ. Thit is why
Toplady wrote those immortal lines:
“Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee.”
It was this hymn that the beloved
Prince Consort, Albert of England,
turned repeating constantly upon his
death bed. “For,” said he, “if in this
hour I had only worldly honors and
dignities to depend upon, I would be
poor indeed.’
IV. —AFTER FINDING CHRIST,
THE TRUE CHRISTIAN’S ASPIR
ATION IS MORE LOVE TO HIM.—
The more we know Christ the
more we will love Him. Sometimes
those who have had the greatest
misfortunes and trials have learned
to love Him more. Mrs. Elizabeth
Prentiss, wife of a preacher, who
was an invalid most of her life wrote
“More Love to Thee, O Christ,
More Love to Thee.”
V. —YOUTH IS THE GLORIOUS
SPRINGTIME OF LIFE. We should
give the flower of our youth to
Christ. Many times in the Bible we
are exhorted to give our best to God.
Listen to the challenging words of
“Give of your best to the Master;
Give of the strength of your youth.”
VI. —THE EARNEST CHRISTIAN
MUST TAKE TIME TO PRAY. As
Earnest, in Hawthorn’s story, be
held the Great Stone Face, his face
was changed into the likeness of the
same. So must the Christian keep
constantly in touch with the Master.
The hardest work we have to do as
Christians is, probably, to pray.
That is the reason most of us had
rather work at something else. We
are just that human. We would find
some other way than God’s way of
doing his work. Yet in our sanest
moments we discern that there can
be no power without prayer. Pray-
erlessness or ineffective prayer re
veals itself in the lack of poise and
in fatigue and a sense of frustation.
If we live victoriously we must take
time to talk with God and let Him
talk with us.
“Take time to be holy,
Speak oft with the Lord.”
VII—THE CHRISTIAN SHOULD
FACE LIFE WITH HIS BIBLE—
The Bible is the world’s greatest
book because its program meets ev-

ery condition in one’s life. It teach
es us the best way of living, the
noblest way of suffering, and tht
most comfortable way of dying. Na
tions, Churches, and individuals need
to turn, in an hour like this, to its
teachings. We need its light, guid
ance and comfort.
“It floateth like a banner
Before God’s hosts unfurled,
It shineth like a bedcon
Above a darkling world;
It is the chart and compass
That o’er life’s surging sea
’Mid mists and rocks and quicksands
Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.”
I know the Bible is true because
of what it has.done for me.
“Divinely inspired the whole way
thro’,
I know the Bible is true.”
VIII—AS WE COME DOWN TO
OLD AGE MAY CHRIST BE OUR
FIRM FOUNDATION—May we be
steadfast in Christ. During the
last few years our foundations have
been sorely tested. We are to build
on Christ, the Eternal Rock, the
Firm Foundation. The Christian who
is trusting in Christ can truly sing.
“How firm a foundation, ye Saints
of the Lord.”
IXj—IN TIME OF TROUBLE &
IN DEATH GOD HAS PROMISED
TO BE WITH HIS SAINTS. Paul
said, “For, to me, to live is Christ
and die is gain.” If hardships, dis
appointments, tragedies, and even
death be ours, may we be able to
say, ‘IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL’
This song was written by H. G.
Spafford after a sad experience. His
wife and four children were in a
Wreck at sea. The four children per
ished, but the mother was rescued
sometme after the ship went down.
Later Mr. Spafford wrote this hymn
in commemoration of the death of
his children.
X—EXPERIENCE IN HEAVEN.
In heaven there will be no p.iin,
nor hardship. Nothing will mar cur
happiness. The famous blind song
writer, Fanny Crosby, rejoiced in
the hope of being with her Saviour
and seeing him face to face. When
she was six months old, through the
application of a hot poultice, she lost
her eyesight. But she knew a bet
ter day was coming. I have read
her testimony that was given when
she was ninety years of age. She
thrilled the great audience that
packed the Carnegie Hall, New York,
as she said:
“I shall see Him face to face
And tell the story saved by grace.”
In this world we travel up hills of
hardships and through valleys of
tears. We experience days of grief
and long hours of darkness and pain.
Some day these things will pass.
“There shall be no more curse. ... ”
says John, in Revelation. What a
glorious day it will be for
“For there is no night there.”
C-ONCLUSION: As we bring this
service to a close, may our prayer
be, “Abde With Me,” as the two dis
ciples on the way to Emmaus asked
Jesus to tarry with them. We need
Him in the morning time of our life
and when fast falls the eventide.
Rev. H. F. Lyte wrote, “Abide
With Me” when he felt the eventide
of his life approaching. After serv
ing many years as pastor of Devon
shire, he resigned on account of de
clining health, intending to spend
the winter in Italy. He preached his
farewell sermon one Sunday in Sep
tember and in the same day he wrote
his immortal hymn. A few weeks
later he passed on to glory. If God
abides with us throughout the day
we will have a glorious sunset. With
our heads bowed, may we make
Lyte’s hymn our sincere prayer,
“In Life, in Death, —
O Lord, abide with me.”
“The Lord bless you and keep you.
The Lord make his face to shine up
on you, and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift his cr^ntenance upon
you and give you peace.
Pvt. James Sanders, of Camp Shel
by, Miss., arrived Sunday' to spend a
seven day furlough with his mother,
Mrs. J. W. Sanders at Silverstreet
and other relatives in Newberry.

The above map of South Carolina shows the War
Bond quotas, by counties, for the month of May, 1942.
Total War Bond quota for the State is $2,453,400. Every
income earner in the State is expected to step-up War
Bond purchases on a basis of ten per cent or more of
income. This ia necessary to help America’s armed
forces take the offensive against the Axis powers. The
American voluntary method of War Bond purchases
must be successful in reaching the quotas set by the
Treasury Department for every county in the nation.
The job of every American now is to stop spending and
save dollars to help win the War.
