Efficient Service
The manner in which the Southern
Public Utilities company and the South
East Public Service company went about
clearing up the debris after the snow and
ice of Sunday is praiseworthy.
Service wa.s restored more quickly here

local companies proved themselves wor

It is often remarked that a man never
values a friend until he is gone. Electricity
and telephone sen'ice have become such
common necessities and their use such an
everyday affair that we never realize
how important they are until something
like this happens. I

Citizenship And the Home
Prof. C. M. Dickson, a member of the
- Traphill school faculty, in a contribution
submitted to The Journal-Patriot, com
ments on the influence the home has upon
.‘good citizenship.
In view of the crime record, as evidenc
ed by the court docket in Wilkes, the com
ment is timely and we reproduce it here:
“The place to build deep-seated respect
for law and order is in our American
homes. While astute politicians, officers,
^ and other types of citizens who fail to do
their duty either in a private, or a public
way, deserve a just proportion of criti
cism, yet the home is the place wherein
either good or bad citizenship is born, fos-
- terod and nurtured, and it must, therefore,
- i^ggiime the responsibility for the type of
citizenship it turns out.
“Millions of dollars are spent for police
jirotection, for the enforcement and ad
ministration of law, and for the educa
tion of children in the fundamentals of
-ttseful citizenship.
**By proper training in the home much
of this could be avoided, and our daily
papers, instead of filling the front pages

- cides and all sorts of crimes, they would

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
TRSTDIOXY (XIXCER.MXG Hl.MSELF
Lesson for March 4th. Matt. 11 and 12. Golden
Text Matt. 11:28.
Our lesson reaches its climax in the glorious in
vitation at the end of chapter 11. What comfort
this brings to a distracted, disheartened world!
There is no music like the music of the gosBel,
and nowhere does that music sound with a sweet
er, more wooing note than in this sublime pas
sage.
Now there are four key words in this charming
welcome. The first is “Come!” a beautiful, grac
ious word our Master uttered rather frequently.
Jesus is the world’s greatest Friend. Here is the
note of*a wooer, a lover who understands. What
we all want today is security, and we get It when
we come close to Jesus. He extends His arms of
invitation to us. who are burdened and broken
hearted. and we find rest in Him.
The second key word is "Take!” Jesus is the
world’s greatest Giver. And what are we to take?
Christ’s yoke! Now there are two types of yoke,
the galling, bitter yoke that binds the slave to his
hateful task, and the kindly, .omfortable yoke
that holds the oxen together so that they work
easily and harmoniously. It is the latter yoke
Jesus plainly has in mind. We are to bear His
yoke, with Himself In the traces walking along
with us. What a beautiful privilege!
The third key word is “Learn!” Jesus is the
world’s greatest Teacher. And what do we learn?
Nothing less than that life, despite its misery and
failure, is a glorious, magnificent experience, rich
in heavenly beauty and joy. We learn further the
guiding principles of Christian conduct, renunci
ation, non-resistance, and that personal Integrity
that Includes humility, fidelity, courage, and sin
cerity.
The final key word is "Find!” Jesus is the
world’s greatest Treasare-House. And what do'we
find? We discover the rest that comes .through in
timate association with ,the world’s supreme char-
in
Come! Take! Learn! Find! The grace of God
Christ Is onrs.
present Democratic party, which
he terras Socialist Democrats.
Probably neither the name nor
the scheme will get very far. and
nobody thinks that Mr. Lawrence
expects his plan to be adopted.
But the attention that Is being
paid to the Idea itself, of trying
to line up those who still believe
in the rights of the individual as
superior to the rights of the
state, in some form of effective
opposition to the tendency to
regulate and control all human
activities by a paternal govern
ment, indicates the possibility
that a new “bloc” if not a new
party may be built around a nu
cleus of forward-looking Republi
cans and conservative Democrats.
Cleveland and Brjan
Those with long political mem
ories are recalling what happened
to the Democratic party in 1896,
when It was hopelessly split over
Free Silver and other Populist
issues; so completely split that a
powerful faction, h^ded by none
other than President CleVeiand.
refused to follow the party’s can
didate. Mr. Bryan, and put their
own “Gold Democrat” candidate
in the field to contest for the
Presidency. That marked the end
of the old party control; and a
high percentage of those who
had called themselves Democrats
became adherents of the Repub
lican party in the coarse of the ■
next few years.
Now, these old-timers say, the
Republican party Is in the same
fix. The ‘’Old Guard” Is complete
ly discredited. The public beHeves
that too many men got rich be
cause of their political affUlla-
tlons, or that too many, rich men
had the say in the party’s affairs.
Any new political lineup must
