THINK BEFORE Sotr?SHEAh
?AND BE CAHEFIL WHAT
YOL SAY
By H. B. Hikard. Prosperity, S. ('.
There are many things' and conditions
afloat these days, and a
person will have to think and look
: carefully to keep from getting excited,
and saving too much about
people and things, that will be?
71 tray their experiences.
As has been said, the Electoral
Colleges are things of the past.
We note with displeasure many
criticisms that are not in keeping
with good business judgement,
when you think of the condition of
___ the church -and-the training of the
laymen of this age. A 'mar.
have to base his thvu'ght-. ar. .
actions in keeping with the e:..
vironment' and conditions of ?the
? . - age or his politics wii. he a visgruntal
failure.
The laymen that wcry jdected
in the Electoral Coll.egcs~are feeling
highly elated over their suc
on nicely and correctly. > While a
number of the defeated laymen
think to the contrary, and are .-avX
ilHT?differently,' hut think before
you speak and he careful what you
cay.
The writer, though elected, could
find plenty room, to criticize as to
his elrtction; heoaii^p ha w?ft?*
wounded surprisingly, in the house
of his friemijnr4?**$b0t killed. So
he is ""thinking:, ' looting and not
. . .speaking out p|>blicly, because it
would" be nothing gained for neith
er side. I realize that- games-of
that kind wherte there are many
interests at stdke you are likely
to be deceived and convinced because
every fellow is trying to put
over his program.
It's like a game of war. . You
may expect most anything.
A man need not expect nothing
but a legal procedure on the inv
side as to the organization, and
recognition by the chairman of all
you merit and get in electoral
colleges. If you are beaten in
your politics on the outside, take
-it?geod?heartedhv.- beeatrse- that
was your game. If you didn't
know how to play it just be quiet
and learn how for 1 he next time.
Don't curse out and criticize the
man or men who beat you doing
it. It doesn't help you since you
were playing the same kind of
.; game.
I note in some^of_the_articlcs
" l7f ?riticiSTns of the Electoral Colleges
that the ministers are accused
of taking too much to do
with them. That. laymenjwei;e di
rected and acted like the ministers
directed them, and the laymen that
weren't on that string got lost or
left. Now, let me tell the cfitieizers,
that will always be the game
until the laymen organize and
think and act for themselves as
has long since been stated.
The preachers know the laymen
- v are not together and haven't been
trained to -think and- act of their
own accord, so they will have to
follow the old time customs that
were established years ago. .
II v Some oTjCftg dafeated candidates
were trained in the house of some
>
I that established that procedure
years ago, and they are now feasting
on the fruits of their labor.
Some of the older critics were
elected formerly by tTuT same
method, they criticize now, since
r they are defeated. Learn to be
men at all times. Don't wait until
the devil gets you and then try
and pray; pray before hand or
?'1se,take your reward.
1 h?VP Uil ViH'flt f.i?' tho
Laymen and the preachers to get
together for the best interest of
the church, but not to teai?down.
There have been several state-wide
meetings of the Laymen. They, organized
and agreed on several
propositions and things to -stand
'or in the state, and some of-these
now living older groups who are
criticising took cold feet, fell down
and denounced the Laymen's move
to,get together. They were hunt.njj
"pojpu'lai ity with those they now
criticise~and?-~Yxui are rightly
" hipped unth your own hickory.
i
The writer has always been left
alone when the time came to put
v?.r the Laymen's program; you
would all desert me; I have stood
tor everything the -church has
granted the It a y Tito r. in this state
.iV.'d have succeeded fh getting
;honi. so. why complain when you
wouldn't do nothing to prevent or
to help. Its up to tiie Laymen to
. to Their choice.. Don't blame no
he - for th-. m not -standing in their
wr. shoes.

heat me at my jrami1 and I took It
good heaitedly and acted friendly
with fv'eryontf and in. K'd2 I got every
vote, cast..
I noticed that one of the critics
>f an * Electoral College branded
the Laymen or ministry with trying
to kill'of keep'down ^outh or
voung manhood. 1 think surely it
Was an oversight, of that writer,
for -in our pollege it wasn't' a
>|Uestion ot age, but there was a
letinite program the conference
lue to put oyer, and the thoughtful
ones worked . tu that-'end.
A young' lady was elected in
c V. fere nee which is inconsistent
ith the criticism rrf.thc crito
the ptihirtn?

"he g<-*.-.'' man. he gave hack for.
'!> es.that -eehl to he 'in keeping
w;th hi- criticism?-? He-seems' to
.have Keen the only one that gave
back for age and merits.
The writer agrees with the idea
if today, that young prepared per
-ons from -a. lityrary standooint
-hduld he taken care of, and
given po-itions in life, 'hut not to
rlit* oyc'ikIiih of tlw? tuvntn vorl nv.
nerienccd old men and' women
i the pillar* > bec ause, a house can't
stand 1<>ng without a foundation.
T+rr?b'-ast?rrf?one" of the?critics
is about young men being placed
at the head of the leading colleges
and hanks, and that the. time is
onto for them to take the- leading
placed. I don't; agree with a proh
"grsmmif yming nor a program of
?Jd, hut according to their prej.aration
and experience to function and
render- valuable service to whatever,
is to be done, or submitted
to their, care. To. do a why yvith the
foundation of anything, it can't
grow nor stand. In both chorclj
and state.
Since the program of let money
education and youth predominate
he business world has gotten lost
to know what to do. And undei
this excitement, many wrong
jjiings are likely to happen and he
r ^*fmt?ndttl for. v"?
Since the world has gone crazy
over the above mentioned things
the church and state seem not tc
_ be getintr along so nicely in hnsiriess
and morally as could be expected.-The
.churches own more pro
perty and have more members by
name, but it seems it is leaning
. more?toward?-the?vw+eW?and not
carrying out The Christ-like spirit
ip treating your neighbor as you
would have them treat you." I feel
[f the church would do away with
the old and turn its affairs absolutely
to the young for leadership
and council, it wouldn't be long
before it wouldn't be a sin to do
nothing. .It's getting, that way
now; he"h^e God is not pleased,
note the crimes and depression
As to business I have noted
years ago when the experienced
men with a principle and enough
education to da business with the
banks and everything else was in
thriving condition and everybody
could get something to do. The
-frtisinesTs faiiett worst since the new
age given apd required special pre'

paratlon 'by requiring" "business
education with all degrees mentitrable.
The business world fail_
ed and is still lingering and it!
doesn't seem that they know what
to do. The biggest .business in
the world has failed since this mew
doctrine has come about, of doing
away with the experienced and
taking the young, or inexperienced
anu it uoesn t seem that they
know what to do. So mind how
you think and speak. Don't get
excited over youth, nor aged, nor
: preparation -? :
Some were refered to as highups;
but let a person be a high-up
or a low-down, in position or what_
not, they will have to put on a pro_

tion or whatnot. The world and
the church have grown to the place
that they are not seeking men-new
for positions; but .they, have the
positions, and Work to get, lhc.n?

. -.ink it unfair j\r any delegate
--t?dWeated lay-man to try and
..crock either ot . the candidates
publicly or. otherwise, because of
vast disagreements, etc.
' 'This is a new day. There's not
a candidate in the church that
something couldn't be said about,
even if by heresays.
As to the criticisms about money
being used I don't see how any
one with any experience at all
would attempt to mention it. That'
Is .always said, when a, man. gets
elected or be defeated.
It was 'rumored that one of the
ci itics along: with others usedrmoney
to have the writer defeated,
and the program he was thought
to be connected with, but I cated
nor cure nothing about the rumor.
If I am beaten at my game, I
take it for my share.
As to preachers and laymen being
a part, I don't see .it like that;
The preachers and laymen are
friends. They know they can't go
without them. If preachers and
laymen were not friends, the
preachers as some of the critics
say "couldn't be able to get the
laymen to vote for the preachers'
choice to <hnd rn the Electoral College.
That its el f tells that they
are friends,? ? ;? =?- ?
It matters not what rs said some
preachers stood for the defeated
candidates but they just didn't
have enough.
Some , men when they are defeated
will call other men demagogues
he.cause those men looked
, >ut for themselves or their own
, interest in the time 9f peace and
also in war. A fool would do that,
and yet not be mad with the loser.
That's 'natural, no one should get
excited and should be careful how
they think and speak. ?'
l agree with the critic that the
laymen should organize. But for
_ the hod. intorc! t of?the?church
(hats no new doctrine. The writer
wrote that years ago when there
was a fight on, and wrote that in
the time of peace, I didn't wait
until I got defeated before I wrote
- tty and when a call was made for
- -organization. I acted my part goI
ing to the call. I went as far as
Charleston, S. C.
Men oT thaF meeting took cold
, feet and haven't met one since.
But some critics have never met I
I one. I am glad the state seems to
Tie at peace. , Other than the elec-:
tion of some laydelegates at the1
Electoral Colleges. >
This article is written because
! the writer wants those , taking
. part in church politics to know the
, game and think before ^ey speak,
P now wiir have to he based on the
understanding, organization and
, actions of the laymen, The writ-J
er favors a laymen's" orgariizaCl
tion Fn our state for the best in-1
, terest of all concerned, not to work
, against no one nor group, but fori
, the whole. I stand for all that is
,_.du? the laymen under the.: la w~ and.
more besides. I always stand for
i the best things and the best men, J
under circumstances I shall stand
by the program of my state.

POETIC MEDITATIONS
THE 1IA?HPUL LADY AND
LOVELY HOME
(By Herbert Kli Dickson)
A most poetic place, I vow;
I told her so - - she smiled - - ?
Ami quivered when I spoke of how
-She semed as some young- child,
Too innocent tor arrogn.nce,
Too timid to deceive.
Then, pondered I how .rare the
chance.
While making known!-my leaveWhen
suddenly she blurted out,
" 'T was pleasing to. mine tow's;
But, this, I cannot boast about;
My mistress is upstairs. " . ? *
TO WILL ROD KUS 4
As thouglj I'd kr.own you hafl us
well . ...
As those quite close to me,
I quivered when I heard them tell
Of how you came to see ----An
end that rocked the earth be- ?
cause \
It chilled a smiling face.
Not merely that your face had
smiled " .
So often and long,
But that, we feel, not one beguilecT,'
- And?we, 'ire?hardly?wrdng. '
So do w6 feel the vacancy
Thut. was your cheerful place,- ,
OPPOSITION
- Opposition?is?invaluuble ?
r,ven tnougn tne strongest hearts
will rend
_ Before it,^ for 't. is?well they?*
And the more repressed the ,more
bleed;
the end
Is worth to those who'll face the
need . *
