WAR BONDS
Services
On Sunday morning as you sit in
church and see the vacant places
in the choir and wonder where the
war has taken the young people
from your community you may feel
certain that they are attending di
vine services if circumstance per-
Chaplains and choral leaders are
found on the larger ships and even
abroad in the Army centers.
Millions of hymnals have been dis

JESUS BUSY WTH HIS MINISTRY
OF LOVE
INTRODUCTION: Have you ever
thought how much of Christ’s life
■vas spent in doing kind things? Re
view the Gospels with this in mind
and you will find that he spent a
great portion of his time in simply
helping people, in doing good turn:
>o them. He went about doing good.
From beginning to the end of his
ministry Jesus’ was a ministry of
love. Because of such a ministry he
attracted much attention.
Bishop McDowell tells the follow
ing story: A certain famous teach
er in one of our colleges has died
within a few weeks. The last time
I visited the college they told me he
had visited all the sick, all the trou
bled, all the poor in the community,
being the most useful man in the
small town, and that he seemed to
think it belonged to hirr as a teacher
of Greek to do such things. Our Mas
ter was always like that. He evi
dently meant to be so. It was not an
accident or an incident in his life.
His daily life was rich in deeds of
mercy and of love.”
A Busy Evening—Many Cures
Wrought
At the close of a busy Sabbath, at
Sunset, a great crowd came with
their sick. The crowd wa sso large
that Mark graphically says that
“All the city was gathered together
at the door”. Jesus healed all their
various diseases.
A Morning Prayer
Early next morning, so as to not
to be held back by the crowds, Jesus
left the city for a restful solitude in
a desert place. There he communed
with the Father an<f renewed his
strength. Prayer is still the secret
of power. Martin Luther said one
day, “I have so much to do today, I
can’t get through it with less than
three hours of prayer.”
A Preaching Tour Through Galilee
Simon Peter and other disciples
followed Jesus and brought him
word that all men were seeking him.
Probably Peter was surprised when
Jesus showed no rejoicing over his
popularity. Jesus had more import
ant work to do than to enjoy being
popular. It was his mission to bring
the good news to other people. So
he made a preaching tour through
Galilee.
A Leper Cured
A leper came to Jesus, in his
dire neeff, and pleaded for help. He
kneeled before Jesus and besought
him saying, “If thou wilt, thou
canst make me clean.” What faith!
Jesus said unto him, “I will; be thou
clean.” Immediately the leprosy
left him and he was cleansed. Jesus
charged him, and sent him away
with the words to say nothing to
anybody but he should go to the
juriest and get a health certificate,
according to the regulations of Mo
ses, which would be accepted by the
people. He did exactly what Jesus
told him not to, giving publicity to
ids healing. Because of the excite
ment of the publicity, Jesus had to
avoid the cities and went out into
the desert places to which people
continued to come to him from all
quarters. My what a difference be
tween the attitude of Jesus and ma
ny modem ministers!
Practical Applications
1. Some active service for Christ
should be a part of the program of
every. Christian. There is joy in act
ive service. Too there are great
blessings to others.
2. Preaching in an implement of
the salvation program.
3. Sympathy is more than flowers,
trays of food, and books. In one as
pect, the cheapest thing we can give;
in another aspect, it is the most ex
pensive. Sympathy is more than
medicine. There is danger that doct
ors and nurses, as well as others,
have to guard against the hardened
heart. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell had
to guard against this danger. Lest
he become irritated and unsympa
thetic he kept posted in his surgery,
these words that showed him the
joy of doing things Christ’s way:
“He did kind thing so kindly
It seemed his heart’s delight
To make poor people happy
From morning until night.”
4. The word “Compassion” comes
from the Latin, and the word “sym
pathy” from the Greek, and the root
meaning of both is the same, “to
suffer with”. They mean pity in
action.
6. The experience of Jesus was
very different from that of most
preachers today. Most of us are
not troubled by the onrush of crouds.
Jesus sought to evade crouds, and
they followed him. We try to get
them, and any times they go the
other way. Probably our preaching
is too common place. The religion
that Jesus preached did things,
mighty and amazing things. A re
ligion that does things is exciting.
That is what the world wants and
is looking for. Many schemes are in
vented to fill our half-empty church
es, which are powerless. The world
needs a religion that can do things
that nothing else can accomplish.
We need to preach and teach with
power, Christ and him crucified,
that people might be converted
forsaking their sins and committing
their lives to the Master.

THE SPECTATOR
Dairy farmers in South Carolina
are producing milk at a cost of 45c
a gallon, not including cost of de
livery, and selling this milk for 38c
a gallon, not counting delivery cost.
That is a bald statement but it is
the experience or the Edisto Milk
Producers Association of Cope, S. C.,
over in Orangeburg county. Back of
his is a story of what is happening
to our dairy and beef interests.
It is not the policy of our Gov
ernment that men shall operate any
business at a loss; and certainly it
is unthinkable that the Government
should countenance a policy which
drives our dairy farmers and beef
cattle producers into bankruptcy.
But the policy of the OPA is doing
precise!' that. Some weeks ago I
spoke oi the plight of the beef pro
ducers, basing my statement on
what I had read in The New York
Times. In brief, we had at that
time sufficient beef on the hoof to
assure adequate supplies to our
fighting forces and to our civilian
population. Notwithstanding that,
the regulations of the OPA had
brought about such confusion that
we found ourselves with a shortage
of beef on the market while ample
beef supply could be found on the
range. About the same time that I
discussed the artificial beef shortage
I also discussed a statement of Mr.
John T. Roddy of York as to his ex
perience as a dairyman, trying to
do business under Hie regulations of
:he OPA.
I think our trouble is trying to
regulate vast enterprieses with to
tally inadequate knowledge of the
conditions under which business op
erates. No one could be so deliber
ately hostile to vital national inter
ests; but whether deliberate, or
merely through ignorance, the re
sult is the same; and our men in
charge ' great enterprises spend a
great -al of time in Washington
trying to give to the entrenched
bureaucracy even an elementary
idea of the ordinary principles which
govern men who try to produce any
thing.
Organized Business, Incorporated,
of South Carolina, has in its mem
bership virtually every type of bus
iness carried on in South Carolina.
Among its members are many men
engaged in farming, same operating
dairies as well, while others pro
duce beef cattle. Last week two of
our dairy farmers came to our office
and told us just what is happening
to them. Mr. Glenn W. Cope, a well-
known farmer of Cope, who is en
gaged largely in the dairy business,
shipping milk to Charleston, made
the blunt statement:
“I am losing one hundred dollars
in cold cash shipping milk to
Charleston at the OPA price; and
this hundred dollar loss does not in
clude anything for my own services
nor any of the item of expense which
any businessman knows must be
charged as part of the cost. I am
losing this hundred dollars a week
as the milk is produced on the farm
with the cost of transportation not
included, nor yet other items of
cost. Notbing is taken into account
for replacement of cows, machinery,
or buildings.”
Mr. Cope had spent some time in
Washington at his own expense
trying to show the OPA the plight,
of the dairyman. He does not want
a subsidy; he knows that a subsidy
is nothing but sand in the eyes of
the people; he wants to operate a
plant so that he may make a liv
ing. Whether the shipping of milk
to Charleston is a useful occupation,
you can judge for yourselves. II
the supply of milk were cut off,
there would be an uproar.
While Mr. Cope was making an
appeal to Organized Business to help
him bring this to the attention of
our officials, and of all those whose
business in any way enjoys the sup
port of the dairy and beef interests,
Mr. H. L. Whisenhunt came in to
support the statements of Mr. Cope
and to join him in requesting that
Organized Business cooperate with
them in bringing their case to the
public and to any others who might
be specially interested.
Mr. Cope is not speaking merely
his own experience; he not only call
ed on Mr. Whisenhunt to confirm
this on behalf of all the milk produ
cers, but cited individually some of
the outstanding fanners of South
Carolina, whose experience had been
identical with his.
Mr. Cope gave me some interest
ing figures, in support of his state
ments and assured me that if I
were sent to jail, he and all the other
Edisto farmers would see that I
should be well fed. That may be
really an attractive proposition, for
if those brethren should keep me
supplied in jail with big juicy
steaks, I’d be better off in jail than
most of my fellow citizens on the
outside. And that would solve the
fuel problem for me also, for I be
lieve they keep the jails nice and
warm. Certainly that would be the
finest way in the world to advertise
the case of the farmer, wouldn’t it?
Mr. Cope said, supported by Mr.
Whisenhunt, that a short time ago
the city of Charleston had an acute
shortage of milk. Some of these
gentlemen, in order to supply the
need in Charleston, arranged to buy
milk in Chester County. The Edisto
Dairymen had to buy in Chester and
ship to Charleston for 38c a gallon,
whereas a man from North Carolina
bought the milk in Chester at 26c a
gallon, hauled it to Lexington, North
Carolina, and then resold it in
Charleston at 64c a gallon. These
gentlemen call attention to the fact
that not only was this dairyman
from North Carolina receiving 54c,
as against their 38c, but that, in
spite of all the shortages in trans
portation, he was hauling from Ches
ter to Lexington, North Carolina,
and then rehauling it to Charlestpn,
by truck. The gentlemen from
South Carolina are told by the head
of the Fluid Milk Department of the
OPA in Washington that the OPA is
now working on a plan to compose
these differences, and avoid discrimi
nations. Whereupon our South
Carolina dairymen exploded in a
burst of language which I see indi
cated on my notes by a series of ex
clamation points, starts and dashes.
Mr. Cope and Mr. Whisenhunt, to
whom I refer by name, by their ex
press permission, in order to give me
an elementary basis for this state
ment, gave these facts from their
own records:
In 1941 the Edisto Milk Producers
Association was allowed to charge
34c a gallon for milk. Sine; 1 that
time observe what has happened to
what they have', or must buy: com
is up 150 per cent., oats 250 per
cent., hay 250 per cent., concen
trates, like cotton seed meal, more
than 100 per cent., labor 100 to 150
per cent., and all these items are
supposed to be under the control of
the OPA—but the ceiling price on
their milk in 1943 is 38c on the
farm, with all the cost of transpor
tation in addition. There you have
it; 34c a gallon in 1941 and 38c in
1943. You men in any kind of busi
ness, whether farming, dairying or
manufacturing, can readily under
stand that a price of 34c in 1941
meant a great deal more^to these
dairymen than 38c in 1943
Now where do we get the idea of
the cost of milk? Somebody will
say that the cost varies with the
farmer, as it does; just as one far
mer’s cotton may cost him a half
cent a pound more than another
farmer’s cotton; but I am not rely
ing on the cost figures of the Edis
to Milk Producers Association, nor
of the individual cost-figures of Mr.
Glenn W. Cope. I know, of course,
f -hat we have no finer farmers in
South Carolina than in the region of
the Association, but I cite you the
figures that have been worked out
on a 5 year average by Olemson Col
lege, based only on such itoms as
feed, labor, taxes and part deprecia
tion, but including nothing for pro
fit and no allowance for replacement
—the Clemson figures—over this 5
year spread show that it cost the
dairyman 45c a gallon to produce
this milk at the dairy bam. Mr.
Cape bases his argument on these
figures of Clemson College.
I have given you the story that
these two gentlemen brought to me.
If they should sell every cow they
have, and cut off the milk supply of
Charleston, and other points, they
would be acting only for self-preser
vation. But why should our Govern
ment, so ready to assure a floor for
wages; so ready to balance every
little item of the cost of living
against wages, be willing to impose
a price on producers which would
mean nothing but starvation? Is
that the sort of thing that the Gov-
emmen will cover up with a subsidy?
Then when these gentlemen are ut-
erly ruined, somebody will think out
a magic formula to save the farmer.
One more little story of the farm
er trying to be patriotic: The Gov
ernment asked a number of farmers
to buy beef cattle, to fatten for the
Government over a period of six
months. These gentlemen came to
Columbia with splendid patriotic
fervor. They bought the cattle, at
prices ranging from 12 to 17c, on
foot, and fed these cattle six months.
Then they were offered two weeks
ago from 4 to 8 l-2c a pound! Now
doesn’t it appear that we need a lit
tle knowledge of conditions in deal
ing with such cases as this?
There will be auction sales of
beef at many points of the State
beiween noon' and the middle of Jan
uary. The farmers are urging that
all who take part in these sales shall
communicate with the Congressmen
so that the plight of the farmer may
be remedied in January; and they
are asking that all the business in
terests which deal with the farmers
shall support them in their petition
for a just price on their products,
based on costs arrived at by such
disinterested organizations as Clem
son College.
The Joint Congressional Economy
Committee is trying to save one
hundred billion dollars of unused,
uncommitted money. Senator Byrd
told the world some months ago that
a hundred billion dollars, already
authorized, remained unexpended and
unpledged on July first. That being
Irue, it seems absurd to the point of
ridiculous to make new appropria
tions. Of course it may be necessary
to re-designate the use to which the
money will be put, but common sense
indicates that we not have vast to
tals hanging loose. Perhaps the best
plan, or more orderly procedure is to
cancel an appropriation, the unused
part. How to proceed is a mere de
rail; the important thing is to turn
this money back before new money
is used.
Deep Water
Two Negro soldiers were on a
transport going overseas. Standing
on the deck they gazed out across
the vast expanse of water.
“That’s the mostest water I’ve
ever seen in all my life,” said one.
Did you ever see so much water?”
“Man, you ain’t seen nothing yet,”
his companion replied. “That’s just
the top of it.”
Cautious Mr. Hull
Cordell Hull weighs every word
carefully—so carefully Vhat his ut
terances are internationally famous
for their extreme accuracy.
Passing through Montana on a
bus, his companion pointed to a flock
of sheep. “Those sheep have just
been sheared,” he ventured.
Hull studied the flock until they
were lost to view. “Yes,” Hull ad
mitted. “Sheared on this side, at
least.”
