Bible Comment:
There is No
Place in Religion
For Hate
A PLAUSIBLE philosophy of
life has said, “Be good and
you will be happy.”
But if happiness consists in
being free from danger and im
mune from pain, the sufferings of
good men have revealed how
false is that easy adage.
A deep mystery of life is that
the innocent have suffered with
the guilty. It is the mystery of
the Cross and the suffering and
sacrifice of Christ Himself
The hostility that Jesus
aroused in His prejudiced, fel
low townsmen as He began His
ministry in Nazareth continued
on the part of many throughout
His ministry.
Strange to say, it was the finest
things that He did that aroused
the most violent opposition.
Religion ought to make men
humane, kind, considerate, ready
and eager to help one another.
But, unfortunately, if has often
made them bitter and full of
hatred.
It was not unnatural that the
claims of Jesus should be ques
tioned by some, as they had been
by His own brothers. But why
should His pronouncement of the
forgiveness of sins have aroused
such hatred?
If He-had no power to forgive
sins, the sins would not be for
given. To question His author
ity was one thing—to hate Him
was another.
The opposition of certain
Scribes and Pharisees and offi
cial religious authorities had
some justification. They were
the official representatives of re
ligion. As Jesus HimseLP said,
they “sat in Moses’ seat.”
The mistake that they made
was in ignoring the actual words
and deeds, in being blind to the
authority of goodness, and in
hating One whom the people
heard gladly.
Are we wiser than those of
old? Is religion our response to
the goodness of God, or is it
dominated by prejudice and
bigotry?

I T is not only Smart, but Pop
ular to own life insurance.
During 1952, 29 million in
dividual policies of insurance
were purchased by Americans,
amounting to $34.4 billion. This
was the seventh straight year,
during which purchases of new
life insurance were at least
double those of twelve years
ago. The 1952 purchases were
triple those of 1940.
Our national debt has reached
a new high of $272.5 billion; but
do you know that life insurance
ownership in the U. S. has ac
tually gone beyond that, to the
staggering figure of $276.6 bil
lion, on the lives of 88 million
policy owners? This has raised
the average individual’s protec
tion from $780 in 1902, to
$3,100 in 1952.
During these seven years, all
forms of thrift have gained.
But policyholders* funds in life
insurance have risen 63%, while
the increase for the other major
types of long-term savings com
bined has been 36%.
So you see, it is not only
Smart but Popular to own life
insurance.

WILD GEESE RETURN
On this October full moon, the
wild geese are pouring back into
the Gaddy pond at Ansonville. Not
by the dozens nor hundreds, but
by the thousands!
You recall, it was 1934 that the
first nine geese lit down on that
farm pond. Mr. Gaddy did not
shoot at them, but threw corn to
them. They stayed. Next year they
came back with their increase.
And since then the full moon in
October has seen them return with
increased numbers. Last year it
was estimated that over 12,000
came. This year there should be
more. '
I have caused many to go there
to see that great sight. None have
been disappointed. It is at Anson
ville, North Carolina. That’s eight
miles above Wadesboro. And
Wadesboro is 19 miles from our
Chesterfield. From Columbia, An
sonville is 109 miles, from Flor
ence 79, and from Spartanburg it
is 148 miles. From the south and
east, you go through Chesterfield.
From the west you go through
Lancaster and Pageland.
With all the ponds we have
over this part of the country, it
seems a pitty more folks don’t of
fer these great wild creatures a
safe, place to light.
MOW PASTURES
Some of the pastures we pre
pared and seeded some years ago
are getting rather weedy. The
mowing machine is our best rem
edy for thar.
The past summer bitterweed
was more prevalent in pastures
than it has been since we first
started preparing, liming, ferti
lizing, and seeding them. Woodle
tells me one reason for that is that
it is a poverty plant and very
drought-resistant. When drought
strangled other plants there, the
bitterweed had full sway. But
given moisture those prepared
pastures will hold it down pretty
well, specially if we mow them.
HEAP MUCH WOODLAND
It’s good we are now giving
some attention to forestry. Out of
our 20 million acres of land in
South Carolina, 12 million acres
are in woodlands.
The first resident forester in
South Carolina was Henry Tryon.
that the late Dr. W. W. Long
brought here as Clemson exten
sion forester in September 1924.
He controlled the few - interested
citizens in that subject and they
got the legislature interested. The
upshot of that was, in a few years
they set up our state forestry
commission. And since then we
have made considerable progress
in the proper conservation and
use of our valuable timber re-
•
sources.
GRAIN STORAGE
Harper and Bowers have in
creased their grain elevator stor
age space at Estill to 715,000-
bushels capacity.
Their equipment and facilities
for handling, drying, cleaning and
storing all sorts of grain and seeds
are of the very latest sort. I have
seen many outfits like this in the
Midwest. But they are older, and
none that I’ve seen are so up to
date in every detail as this vast
structure at Estill. You really feel
like you are out in the grain belt
when you stand there and look up
to those many great concrete
towers.
Our grain acreage has doubled
in recent years in South Carolina.
Not only that, but the .yields are
up over 50 percent. Now, folks,
that adds up to a lot of grain.
The great need now is for adequ
ate safe storage. They tell me that
vast facility at Estill has had to
turn away grain and seeds seek
ing storage all along. It stays
loaded to the gills. And the way
prices have behaved in recent
years, that has meant money to a
lot of folks.
LIKES SERICEA
County Agent Willis of Chester
field told me they sure liked les-
pedeza sericea.' During the past
three dry summers. It has saved
many a cattleman. It kept on when
all other grazing failed. Clifford
Smith of Newberry calls it "the
poor man’s alfalfa.” “Cut right,
it makes good hay,” he says.
J.- W. Little of Cheraw is
another enthusiast for it. He grows
a lot of it for seed and has
a seed-cleaning establishment. He
says, “You must lime it,” for best
results. He says it . has made $10
an acre land Into $100 per acre
BOYS ARE
THAT WAY
By J. M. ELEAZER
Week before last we started
through the paths of childhood.
I didn’t have room to finish, I
saw so much along those hallowed
paths when I went there of late.
So let’s tarry there a bit more to
day.
From the wooded spot, where
the old schoolhouse stood, I walk
ed on to the back of the place. The
early leaves of autumn were gent
ly falling yellow and crimson in
the dim path, thought of the two-
score seasons that had passed
since I walked there as a dream
ing barefoot boy. The honey locust
was ripening on the self-same tree,
but the old persimmon was mark
ed only by its rotting stump.
Away back there, where the
field we called the New Ground
was, young timber had come
across the old cotton beds that
you could still see there, padded
with a soft cushion of straw. Ahd
the same pile of rocks we had put
in a terrace break, when that was
a field, made a mound there and
was overgrown with vines.
From clean culture, and what
not, the spring has long ago dried
up. There I had lingered often as
a kid, getting out of work in the
fields. And on hack across the
Sites place I went. The old log-
house was gone and a wilderness
land for him. His seed yields run
from 1,900 pounds per acre on
damp river bottoms to 500 pounds
per acre on light sandy lands.
of briers and bushes was all that
marked the fruitful old homestead
of long ago. I walked on down
where a wonderful scaly-bark tree
used to grow on the terrace. The
field had come to pines, and had
been cut. And couldn’t even find
where the fine scaly-bark tree
had been. Along through child
hood’s delightful years, we never
let any of those nuts go to waste.
I swung back through the bot
tomlands that border our creek.
Saplings had become great trees
there and had been cut And a
new growth was dense The creek
had about dried up, as it did once
when I was a kid, and I thought
I could see a rough line of rocks
across the channel where we once
built a crude dam
Back up to where we had lived
didn’t seem as far nor steep. And
what used to be “the big field
didn’t look big at all then.
Memories, memories! I like to
travel back through them at
times.
