THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. JEST JESTIN' Choice Appetite The plane on which an actor was flying across darkest Africa crashed in a very heavy jungle. He was the only one of the passengers or crew able to walk so he started out tor help. He had gone a few miles when he was set upon by a band of half-naked black men. They quickly subdued him, tied him up and carted him off to their village. He was brought before the chief who shot a string of questions at him. “So you’re an actor,” the chief said. “That’s fine. Sit down next to me. X want to tell you a few stories.” The stories that the chief told were risque but they had the actor holding his sides with laughter. When the chief finished his joke- telling one of his subordinates came over and whispered in his ear. “You know we are going to eat this guy,” he said. “Wlv are you making him so happy?” “I have a yen for spiced ham,” explained the chief. SHE WAS CHILLED MUTT AND JEFF By Bud Fishei “Hey, Dad, was It a very cold day when yon married Mama?” “Was it a very cold day when I married your mother? Why do you ask such a question?” “Because every time she talks about it, ahe shivers.” JITTER By Arthur Pointer No More Ham Because it was a boom town the road company of “Ali Baba and the Forty (count them) Thieves” charged much higher admission prices than they would have ordi narily. And because the prices weren’t posted the customers were forced to ask the cashier what they were. “Four dollars and forty cents to see a bunch of hams!” snorted one customer to the manager of the show. “Well, Ali Baba, I’ve seen you, and if you’re representative of the rest of the company, I don’t want to see any more.” Sufficient Grounds “I can’t think of leaving the thea ter,” wailed an actress who had had nothing but bit parts for many years, “I’m married to it.” “Well, why don’t you sue it for non-support?” suggested her sever est critic.

Dr. Foreman SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN* Junior Frock in Gay Contrast Yoked Beauty for Sub-Teeners Marching Songs | i Lesson for July 10, 1949 W E did not win all the battles we fought with Japan. The day of a certain naval defeat near the Philippines, an American “baby” carrier, left to its fate, was doing its best to get away from the pursuing Japanese. All af ternoon it dodged and twisted. Ene my destroyers and planes were hot on its trail, and it was a “sitting duck” in case they really got the range. No one on board expected to live. The only question in any body’s mind was: How soon will they tvt us? But late in the after noon, for some reason never ex plained, the enemy gave up the chase, and the American ship slipped off into the protecting night The next day, as the men gathered for a special service of thanksgiving, the chaplain read the 124th Psalm. It came as a new Psalm altogether to those men, even to those who had known it by heart: “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the . . . proud waters had, gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.” "Let Me Write A Nation’s Songs” T HE POWER to thrill has not been lost by the Psalms, as the men on that carrier found out. The group numbered 120 through 134 in our Bibles are known as the “Pil grim Marching Songs,” and were originally used by the Hebrews as they went year by year up to their capital city of Jerusalem and to the Temple which was the center of their religion. Then as now, the Hebrews were a singing people. A nation that cannot sing, a nation without songs, is a dismal country indeed. Difference among various countries is symbolized by their songs, or the lack of them. The Chinese, for instance, have no song that draws them all together in the same way that Englishmen are united in “God Save the King” or as French men once were by the “Mar seillaise.” When it comes to pass, as once it did in the United States, that one part of the nation will sing one song | (say, “John Brown’s Body”) while ! another part will not sing that song but another one (say, “Dixie,"), , then civil war is at the gates. Only people who will sing together can be trusted to live together * • • Singing Church I N the long caravans, marching up the rocky hillside trails to Je rusalem, the ancient Hebrews put their faith into stirring words set i to music. So it is always. All over the Christian world, wherever and whenever the singing is good, re ligion is warm and vigorous. Where the heart is full, there will be song. Revivals of re ligion are revivals of singing. To this day a stranger in a strange city, looking for a church home, is most likely to settle down in the church where the singing is the best. It is not an accident that the Moravian church is at the same time the church that makes more of Easter than some other churches, it is the church where at funerals the music is never sad but joyous, not mourning-songs but triumphant hymns of Christian faith. • • • Patriotism and Religion R EAD these marching Psalms | through—the reading time is i only a few minutes—and see for yourse.f how the ancient Hebrew men of God united their praise of Him with love for their country. To this day, in our Christian hym nals, patriotism and religion are often combined. The English na tional anthem, “God Save the King,” is a prayer; so is “America the Beautiful.” National hymns have a rightful place in a book of public worship. For while patriot ism, by itself, is a poor substitute for religion, still a man who will not love his country lacks some thing of being a good Christian, and on the other hand a man without faith in God makes a very poor citizen.
