Rev. Robert H. Harper
Counsel for Christians.
Lesson for September 20: TUtts 2:
7-8; 3: l-ll.
Golden Text: Titsts 3: 14.
As the representative of Paul.
Titus was sent to Crete to organize
the churches there, and Paul wrote
to encourage the young man in his
difficult task of dealing with un
ruly people.
It was, first of all, necessary to
Titus to be an “ensample of good
works.” A man cannot lead others
In high things if his own life is not
a pattern of the things he declares.
“Do as I say and not as I do” is a
pitiable declaration on the part of
anyone giving advice unto others
Then Paul instructed Titus to
urge upon the people subjection to
the powers that were over them, to
be obedient to rulers and to all in
authority. In general, this is good
advice. Good rulers are not a ter
ror to doers of righteousness, but
a terror to evil doers. Government,
in its origin and authority, is from
God. And it is Christian duty to be
loyal to the established govern
ment.
The people were also to be ad
monished to abstain from disputes
that were likely to create division

From Margret Formanek, La
Crosse, Wisconsin: I remember
when I was 14 years old and worked
in a knitting factory for $1.50 a
week. Later in a candy factory for
$4.50 a week. The girls wore
dresses and bloomers down to the
ankles. We had long hair to our
waist line, so we wore our hair up
with hair rolls called “rats” and
about 65 long hairpins to hold it in
place. Out costumes consisted of
sky-scraper hats, velvet high but
ton shoes, long cotton stockings,
long sleeve dresses with high neck
lines, and capes to the ankle. In
those days women did not smoke
or dare go into a tavern.

From An Old Timer: I can re
member when we did not have
metal buckets, and tubs. We used
wooden washtubs and had to be
careful that the staves did not
warp. We also used a cedar churn
and cedar buckets. We used wood

From Mrs. Julia Shaw, Grand-
ville, Michigan: I remember as a
child seeing men to spear fishing
at night. On the front of the boat
they put an iron container on a
pole. A fire was built in the con
tainer with pieces of pine to fur
nish light.

YOUR
Readers Find All
Of Life's Emotions
In Book of Psalms
QNLY as one reads the Book of
Psalms as a whole can one
grasp the depth and iipmensity
of its exploitation of every mood
and emotion of the human soul.
Here are souls in the very
heights of exultation and reli
gious ecstacy, dwelling on the
mountains with the clear view of
God, and the full inspiration of
His presence.
But here are souls, also crying
out of the depths of despair, and
finding light in the valley of
darkness. Here is realism in the
face of suffering and persecutions
and the designs and hatred of
enemies.
Here, too, is the voice of friend
ship and fellowship, the pilgrim
songs of those who through life
are journeying and worshiping
together.
Nothing in the whole range of
human emotions—doubts, fears,
inspirations and ecstacies—is left
out of the Book of Psalms. All of
life’s experiences from the cradle
to the grave are there.
Here, in addition to the explo
ration of the heart of man and
the visions of the glory of God
are the observations and reflec
tions of inspired poets near to
every phase of nature.
Poets with eyes lifted to the
hills, meditating in green pas
tures and beside still waters or
in angry storms—all are seen in
the Book of Psalms.
And each of us may have it
as his, or her, book of devption.
But if one is to read the
Psalms, one must read them as
a whole to grasp their nature and
significance in the faith, worship
and life of ancient Israel, and
their place and effect in relation
to religious life in general.

A GOOD
POINT
This dog's point is well taken. One cigarette, dropped in dry grass,
can start a fire that will destroy thousands of acres of valuable wood
land. One fire may close a large area to hundreds of sportsmen. Fast
spreading flames trap birds and animals, destroy their cover and
bum their food supplies. '
Fire kills young trees, too—trees needed for tomorrow's timber
harvests. Please be careful with fire in the woods. Do your part to
keep our state green.
And another GOOD POINT is to do
your banking at the SOUTH CARO
LINA NATIONAL BANK.
