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.

College of Miss, has returned home
