Kfeili:iM >i> P THE OLD GRAY P K. PbiUp Eiiis El SOME .GOOD LAW0 lawmaker^ of South Caro-" B^Mtlon in the 1943 legislative body *>hyld at Columbia. Prohibitinir the sale of wine and beer from iatnrR^r day night until Monday morning J HPL j is a flne law. Every man from 18 fco 80 years of age must fight or t': work is a good law, and forhidKbP ,AilV the display of- whiskey i n "windows, is a timely legislation. Our lawmakers deserve tne conig^Y mendation of every citizen of this state, for they must have been divinely inspired. Were it possi-1 ble for me to be seated at the ^ next legislative session, 1 would offer the following amendment: That boys from 16 years instead Y;. of 18 be included. These 16 year . olid bova are committing as many crimes today as old men. and the streets and highways should be ' cleared of them. The government has thousands of plantations i n this country uncultivated, a n d~ these lazy boys should be forced to ^ork on them to raise food stuff lor the Army. Then I would propose a new law that all chil; ' * *. dren from 7 to 11 years old b e found at home after 8 o'clock i?the night unless they arc with their_parents. I would enact a law that if any child" between those ? hn nn thp etrpgta wlnni? iifti'l' _ that hour, they would bt. whipped every step of the way home/ and the mother and father be given 25 lashes each for allowing them to violate this law. THE CHURCH'S OPPORTUNITY There never was a time in all history when the church was challenged as it is today. Onc has truthfully said, "when the world is at its worst, the church should be 8t its best." Men and womriv boys and girls "have never been more wicked than at this present age. Modesty is a thing of tin past, and cttrsing and swearing hay? taken theplace of prayer in their lives. .You would be shocked to know the teen age 'boys and E'rls 'high up in school and don't iow the Lord's prayer to say nothing "of-thc ten commandments Just fhp. other- day I passed a group of boys going to" school " with a stack of books under their " artns, and out cursing a band of gangsters. Now those boys just as well be in some prison camps ? asschool houses, so far as the good they will be to their~vaccT" No . bad. boys can bt> great men7' tU)le$a_they change, regardless of their >intelloctual qualification. Liquor. drinking and gambling seem * to be the chief delight of t h e young' people today. Seemingly youth i? doomed for destruction without a radical change. And any number of old people are lost? 11 world without end. And the quick* or.they get out of tl^ world the - , better it will be for th<? young. The church is~thc only medium through which this reform can i*, . come, ana it snouid address itself .to the task, for if she fails God's judgment on the world will s . ' be next.
