THURSDAY, MAY 30. 191S. NEXT (IRE AT DRIVE BEGINS JUNE 11 AND CONTINUES It DAYS The sale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps has been poinp steadily on for several months, but, on June 14 a preat drive is to hepin in this movement. South Carolina, it i seems, is behind all the States in the matter of the sale of stamps. This is not the usual place that South Carolina occupies, and, if it is true now, it will not be so for lonp, we feel sure. All over the countv the drive should po on, and should pather momentum. We feel like sayinp to the small investor: "This is your time. You may not have boupht a $30.00 Liberty Bond; that looked bip, too bip to handle. But you can invest 23c at a time in a Thrift Stamp, and when you pet enouph of these you can then convert them into a War Savinps Stamp, Go right on buying stamps. Get ready for the big drive and then buy more than ever. NEVER AGAIN THE SAME A man, having1 gone through any one of the many deeper experiences of life, emerges from it a changed man. He is never just the same. He will be a stronger, better man, or, he will he a weaker, a poorer one. Having looked into the issues of life and death i his soul is either expanded or contracted by the experience. Every crisis leaves its mark upon a man's character. If there comes some great sorrow into his life the result w*ill he an expansion or a contraction of his 1 soul. It will lead him into broader sympathy with his fellows or into a more complete selfishness. Reverses in business, the frustration of cherished plans, sudden and marked changes in environments leave a man marked for better or for worse, hut never the same. He will soon develop into a better or a worse man. Having had the deep waters stirred proI f Alin/lltf fVi r\ ? ivuuuij ,i/iic ouumuin^ win nut rcucn the exact level that marked them be- , fore hand. It is a fact that mature men lauph less than yountr men. and 1 this is because the deep experiences ' of life have left wrinkles in the soul. A man, having thoughtfully examined i a human skeleton can not thereafter '> frlory in the mere beauty of the flesh, for he must needs see the hidden prhastliness as well as the attractive 1 covering. As it is with individuals so it is 1 I with nations. A prreat crisis in a naI tion's life will leave its mark. The , 1 firey trial will leave pure erold or a | ' heap of dross. We can not emerere | from the present trreat war and find ' ourselves just, where we were in the berrinnincr of if. We must come out with clearer vision or with eves thn* 1 see not so well as they did: we will be in possession of an exnanded soul or of n contracted ono. Our own nation ^ , mu'-t. find its heart or lose ev>n the | t cap'-city to feel, for the experience is ' so exeat, so complete, so thorough. ' and so radical that the results are ceri f tain to be tremendous. Out of the t world-wreck we are proiner to come < forth spiritualized or completely ma- i terialized; our people are proinpr to ' find God or lose TTim more completely: brotherly love, fellowship and righteousness are proinpr to be exalted or c thev are yoinpr to be submerpred deen- c \ V , er than ever under an ocean of selfisht ness and prreed. Tf this be true, it is ^ ? a crucial time. Tf the preachers ever feit the call to preach, they should A feel it now! If the strong, upstanding men of earth ever stood straight, they should plant their feet anew and stand as they never stood before. If prophet and seer ever dreamed dreams and saw visions, this day should witness the very flood-tide if revelation. If the man of foresight, judgment and reason ever had a message for humanity, this is the day and hour when his lips should be unsealed and his w'ords should come with the hiss and crack of a whip. If virtue, truth, mercy and love are assets of the human heart, this is a day in which they should adorn the life. Only fools and knaves can stand by today and say: "What shall we eat? What shall we drink? Let us have music and dancing." This is a great day, a very great day, for the whole earth has come to judgment. All the tribes of the earth are upon the brink of a new creation, a- creation that will reign for centuries. We are at the open door that leads to green fields and to gardens overflowing with beautiful flowers or a door that opens out upon a dreary, sunparched desert. We stand before a door that leads to a beautiful palace or a grim prison. Which shall it be? We are finding God or we are being bound more firmly by the devil. When this war is over we are going to enter upon devout worship or discard it altogether; men will be more unselfish than they have ever been or they will | sinK to lower depths of greed and injustice. Children bom into the world now are coming into the fullness of a day that no children heretofore ever experienced or they are coming into one in which the lowering clouds darken the whole heavens. Which? It all depends upon whether our nation more fully finds God or loses Him altogether. Without God, materialism reigns, and in a world of materialism there is no hope for humanity. Materialism can and will build up a mighty machine, and it may have the semblance of civilization, but it has no soul. It will grind to powder, it will wring blood from human hearts; it will give us a w*orld whose despotic ruler is selfishness and whose end is destruction, for the essence of all sin is selfishness, and sin when full grown, brings forth death. NEW HOPE New Hope, May 30.?We are having fine weather now to conquer General Green, which everybody is very I busy at. Although a good rain is needed for the gardens. I expect June will bring us rain in due time. On the first Sunday in June the Children's Day services will be held ut New Hope in the morning at 11 o'clock, with dinner on the grounds. Everybody is invited to come and bring well filled baskets. On the 7th day of June the first Friday Miss Alsie Smith will meet at the home of Mrs. B. M. Becknell with the club meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. All members are requested to be present. I wish to correct the mistake in my last letter of the Ited Cross money eollected at New Hope instead of $160.38, it was $60.37. At the school house last Wednesday eight Mr. Sawyer, Rev. Mr. Finch, and Mr. Hope of Union spoke on the Red Cross and also Prof. Guess of Jonesville. All these speakers made fine talks and were enjoyed by all. They raised $33. Miss Sara Whitlock of Meridian College of Miss, has returned home for the summer. Miss Sara Hughes of Brown's Creek is visiting her aunt, Mrs. J. W. Scott this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Whitlock and little son Frank, of Spartanburg vis ited their parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. Whitlock Sunday. Vero. PACOLET, ROUTE 2 i Pacolet, Route 2, May 27.?

The allied nations have made farther increased demands on us for hreadatufTs ? demands that Americana are obligated to meet In the meantime America's meat supply has been greatly increased for some months to 11 come by the unprecedented shipping to market of hogs that averaged 232 pounds each Instead of 203 pounds?the normal. The United States Food Administration, endeavoring to adJust the International food balance, promptly removed certain restrictions In tWs country on . the use of meat and at the same time asked for a sturdier consumption of hreadstuffs. rj We are asked to observe only ' one meatless day each week? J Tuesday. We will have larger i meat stocks for awhile. But j our bread ration must be held to a miniuHim. In altering Its food conservation program the' Food Administration emphasizes that the | food situation Is of nesessity, subject to radical changes, caused by crop conditions at home and abroad and by the | precarious transportation problem, both in overseas shipping I and In Amorlcn'a Iivprtinrilnnod transportation system. The Food Administration will keep the American people fully \ and frankly advised of each ) change In the developing situation that they may know definitely the part their food sacrifices play In the world war.
