SWEET PEACE, THE GIFT OF
GOD'S LOVE
By Paul Stewart
Pastor First Baptist Church
Pelzer, S. C.
‘‘Peace I leave with you, my peace
I give unto you: not as the world
giveth. give I unto you.” John 14:27.
Christ remembered you in His
will. Sometimes lawyers break wills,
no lawyer can break, no judge f or
jury can set aside Christ’s will.
The peace that Christ gives is not
to be associated with quiet motion- .
less inactivity like a body of still wa
ter; it is rather superlative motion
in its appointed place. Neither is
this gift to be compared to what the ]
world gives. The world does give a
sort of peace which comes from self- j
assurance, indifference and unbelief,
which is not satisfying or lasting.
leaves you when you need it most.
The kind of peace that God gives
is the peace that comes through right
relationship to Him. Without this
proper relationship peace is lacking
We are reconciled to God through
Christ. There is no peace for the
wicked. There are certain birds seen
in Constantinople which are said to
be always on the wing. No one ever ^ ^ ^

poised in mid-air. The natives call
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.”
T.;is peace gives harmony in our
powers, heart, mind, and conscience.
‘ Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.”
Prov. 4:25. “Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace whose mind is stayed
on Thee.” Isa. 26:3. Conscience was
at work when Lady McBeth sought in
vain to wash blood from her stained
hands.
The one who has this peace will
have the right feeling and considera
tion for others. He is willing to fit in
with courtesy and grace. He is also
willing to rectify wrongs. A friend
tells of a man who had wronged
others. After his conversion he went
to those whom he had wronged and
obtained their forgiveness. Unbound-
I ed joy came to his soul.
| This peace is sufficient. “And the
| peace of God that passeth all under-
I standing shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.” Phil.
4:7. It is sufficient in every exper-
, ienee of life, and in death. Sir Wal-
| ter Scott went to his rest without a
; tremor, soothed and sustained. A
young man wrote from the battle-
front: “Mother, death here is inde-
i scribable, but under the shadow of
the Almighty I have found peace

Paul gives us ihis infallible receipt
of peace. “Be careful for nothing;
but'in everything by prayer and sup
plication, with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known to God. And
the peace of God that passeth under
standing shall guard your hearts and
thoughts in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 4:6,

Clarence T. Summer, Inc.
The historians of the future will
write in full detail the long and in
volved story of this government’s ef
fort to keep the VicVy Government
from effecting complete “collabora
tion” with Hitler. At present time,
it is sufficient to say that we did all
we could, and that we failed through
no fault of our own. There were
many good reasons why those efforts
should have been made, even when it
appeared almost certain that there
was no hope of success. First, the
American people have regarded
France as a traditionaly ally. She
has been on our side ever since the
Revolution, and has aided us in con
troversies with powers which are
among our Allies in the present war.
Second, few nations have done as
much as France to advance the cause
of parliamentary government—the
French Revolution paved the way for
many other revolts against tyranny.
Third, France is still the possessor of
a sizable naval force 1 —a fact which
is of the utmost practical importance
at this time.
But that is all water over the clam
now. France is, to all intents and
purposes, a Hitler ally. Before this
was is over, we may formally regard
her as an enqmy. It is very likely
that in the near future we will ex
tend full diplomatic .recognition to
DeGaullo’s Free French Government.
The fact that Ambassador Leahy has
been recalled from Vichy, and an
American consular official has been
sent to the Free French capital in
Africa, shows definitely the way the
wind blows.
The American people should hold
no optimism as to the purposes which
“Black Peter” Laval has in mind.
Long before the war he was known a 5
the least scrupulous of politicians in
a country where corruption was the
rule, not the exception, in govern
mental circles. Laval has made vp his
mind that his own future is 100 per
cent dependent upon a Hitler victory.
He has said publicly that if the
United Nations triumph, he will be
escorted without ceremony to the
gallows. He will do everything he can
to help the Axis—and few believe
that he will worry overmuch if the
Germans continue to slaughter help
less French hostages. The Frenchmen
the Germans assassinate are those
who would most actively fight Laval,
if they were free, and so it is likely
that he is glad to see them put out
of the way.
Just what has Hitler gained by
forcing into office French govern
ment which has abandoned almost all
pretense of independence, and which
is an avowed and enthusiastic sup
porter of the “New Order” in Eu
rope ?
In answering this, the French fleet
comes first to mind. If the Germans
can obtain control of that fleet, the
naval balance of the world will be
dangerously changed. Some believe
that Admiral Darlan may hesitate to
give Hitler everything he wants—
anti-British as he is, he also knows
that his own position depends upon
keeping at least nominal command of
the French navy. It puts him in an
excellent bargaining position. Still,
in the long run, the best bet is that
Hitler will get the fleet if- he wants
it badly enough.
France possesses numerous colo
nies which would be of utmost service
to the Axis. American troops are
now in New Caledonia, which lies
across the American-Australian sup
ply line and must be kept out of Ger
man hands at all costs. Madagascar
and Dakar are equally vital. It would
surprise few experts if there are ac
tual military engagements between
Vichy fores and United Nations
forces over these key points.
French industry and agriculture
will now serve the Reich on an all-
out bases. That means that French
men will continue* to starve and go
without in the interest of feeding
and supplying Hiler. Britain’s sus
tained air raids over French indus
trial areas, however, may substantial-
her
ly lessen France’s usefulness to
conqueror.
There is one very important fact
to he listed on the debit side, so far
as Hitler and Laval are concerned.
According to practically all authori
ties, close to ninety per cent of
Frenchmen hate Germany and Vichy
with equal passion. The underground
anti-axis movement in France is
strong and well-directed, and it grows
stronger. Sabotage increases and
becomes steadily more effective.
Thousands upon thousands of French
men are members of suicide organiza
tions which will take any risk in or
der to strike a blow at the Germans
and the Laval group of collabora
tionists. That, in the long pull, will
serve the cause of the United Na
tions well. And it will also serve the
great cause of eventual freedom for
the oppressed Masses of the French
people. Today, we must not think
of France entirely in terms of her
puppet government. We must think
of France in terms of the men and
women who are doing what they can
to fight the*Axis under the most
dangerous, the most difficult and the
most discouraging conditions.
Reports indicate that in recent air
raids on outlying Australian posi
tions, Japan has lost close to 40 per
cent of the aircraft employed. \
That shows two things. 'First,
American supplies in real volume
have reached “down nneer” and have
been put to work. Second, MafcAr-
thur has done a superb job in organ
izing his defenses in a very short
time. Tremendous strides are being
taken in readying Australia as the
take-off point in a gigantic Pacific
counter-offensive.

May 8. The meet for high schools
was held at Clinton simultaneously
with the state college meet.
Mary Baker played a consistent
tournament brand of tennis all the
way through the meet. Her ambidex

FARM MACHINERY SCHOOL SET
Better care and repair and more
efficient operation of harvesting ma
chinery will be the subjects for dem
onstrations at the farm machinery
school on May 12th, at 2:30 p. m. at
Blythewood according to P. B. Ezell,
coutny agent. This school is one of
a series being held over the state un
der the sponsorship of the State and
County U. S. D. A. War Boards. Var
ious agricultural agencies and farm
machinery dealers and manufacturers
are cooperating in holding the
schools.
Demonsraions will be given by
farm machinery specialists on meth
ods of checking & adjusting mowers,
binders, and combines, for the most
efficient operation. Farmers who
own operate harvesting machinery
sthould plan to attend this school if
at all possible in an effort not only
to make their machinery last longer,
but to keep it in the best operating
condition which is so essential as a
part of the war effort.
SUNDAY IS HOSPITAL DAY
National Hospital Day will be ob
served by the Newberry County Hos
pital on Sunday, May 17th, four to
six o’clock. The citizens of Newber
ry county are invited and urged to
visit their hospital on this day.
For the largest number of visitors
wh;> register from any one township
in Newberry county the hospital will
give to the first mother and baby in
that township three days of free hos
pitalization.
In 1941 the local hospital treated
1,038 in-patients; 167 out-patients;
132 babies were born here and 253
major and 271 minor operations were
performed.
If your baby was born at the hos
pital and you do not have a birth cer
tificate they want to give you one.
You would have to go in person for
this as the certificates cannot be
mailed out.
Dr. James C. Kinard, president of
Newberry college, will speak on this
occasion.

With the bright, mild days of
spring comes that urge to house
clean. '
The winter fires have left their
mark on the walls and woodwork.
Now to get this off.
First, rush off surface dirt with a
long handled brush with soft hair or
a floor broom covered with soft dust
ing bag.
Next, about those finger marks
and soiled places on the woodwork—
you can wash painted woodwork. In
fact, you can wash any surface paint
ed with oil paint if you use luke
warm water and mild soap jelly.
| After washing, rinse and dry the
I paint. Wash with an up and down
stroke. Overlap your strokes to
avoid streaks.
But take-.this in. Never use strong
soap on paint. The alkali in strong
soap weakens and discolors paint.
And never use coarse scouring pow
der. Coarse scouring powder takes
the surface off the paint. Then the
paint gets dirty quicker and is hard
er to clean. If some places on the
paint need scouring, use powdered
chalk which goes by the name of
whiting. Or use some other fine gen
tle scouring soap.
The extension service suggests an
even easier way to wash painted
woodwork. Wash it with a liquid
glue solution. Here’s how to make
the liquid glue. Soak a half pound
of dry powdered glue in cold water.
Then add two quarts of boiling wat
er. Boil the water and glue 10 min
utes. Now you have your liquid
glue. Use a cup of this liquid glue
in each basin of washing water.
Simlpy dip your soft cloth or sponge
in the basin of glue and water,
wring out the cloth, and go over the
painted woodwork. That’s all. No
rinsing; no drying. The glue cleans
and also gives a gloss to the paint.
Cleaning walls may be more diffi
cult than cleaning woodwork. It de
pends on how the walls are finished.
If your walls are painted with wash
able oil paint, you can wash them as
you do painted woodwork. Use a
soft cloth or sponge wrung out of
mild soapsuds. Wash up and down
the walls with an even stroke. Then
rinse and dry the paint. You .can
clean badly soiled places with a
little gentle scouring.
Or you can wash painted walls
with a special cleaning mixture of
soap and water and turpentine. Dis
solve 2 tablespoons of mild soap
powder in 1 quart of warm water.
Then add 3 tablespoons of turpen
tine and stir rapidly. Wash the
walls then rinse and dry with a soft
cloth.
HITLER S $250 CAR
(The Chicago Tribune)
All over Germany there are Hein
richs who are wondering when they
are going to get their Volkswagens.
These were the $250 auromotiles Hit
ler told the workers of Germany
their government was going to make
for them sq that they could travel
about like Americans. Der fuehrer
had some models developed and plac
ed where many could see them. Hein
rich couldn’t take a trip on Sunday in
the Volkswagen, on which he was
painfully making payments, but he
could read about it, or even see a
model of it.
Hitler never got around to produc
ing the cars for which he collected
installment payments from his work
ers. Opler, Daimler-Benz and other
German auto makers said the Volks
wagen was imparctical. Probably
Hitler never meant to deliver the
cars. It has been said that it was
just a fake money raising scheme.
But Volkswagen payments did have
the effect of sopping up excess earn
ings of workers, and by doing so help
ed to keep prices, from rising. It gave
Germany something to look forward
to when butter and meat supplies
were running low.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. King, 6f Bain-
bridge, Ga., spent last week in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Lip
scomb. They were accompanred home
by their daughter, Mrs. George Epps
and baby, for a visit, before joining
her husband, Lieut. Epps at Carlisle
Barracks, Penn., where he has re
cently been transferred.
We would advise 1' * lepublicans
to get rid of Joe Mart... as national
chairman at the earliest possible
moment, and of Clarence . Kelland as
publicity executive, and to begin to
make motions toward reading Mc
Cormick’s Chicago Tribune out of
the pajty.—New York Post.
But for some painted walls wash
ing won’t do. If your walls are paint
ed with calcimine, you can’t wash
them clean. All you can do is to
give them a hew coat of calcimine.
Sugar has become a weapon of
war. It’s like this:
Sugarcane is needed to make mo
lasses—molasses is used in making
industrial alcohol.—industrial alcohol
is needed to make explosives. — EX
PLOSIVES ARE NEEDED TO
BLAST THE AXIS.
Your sugar ration is all you will
want—
If you PLAN MEALS WISELY.
If you COOK CAREFULLY.
If you DON’T -WASTE ANY.
But if you have a very sweet
tooth and insist you want more sug
ar than you’re going to get, remem
ber—We’re in a War!
