Grove Church
The Reverend J. T. Hayter. Jr..
delivered- a . magnlflcient,, pennon
at me urove iresDytenan unurcn
on Sunday morning. May 25.' The
text was from 1 Corinthians 8, and
the sermon was entitled To Do Or ww irnicn ciuaea some neauu

The Issues that exist todav did
aot face the people of Biblical
r- times, ana tbe situations that ex
isted them have n relevance in
this modern day world.' Although
no specific answer to j all moral
questions that arise can be found
In the Bible,- the ' principles are
there. What is right for one per
son is not necessarily right for
another.. We must apply the princi
ple's of love and understanding, to
our problems. The answer that we
find is between ourselves and our
God It is not our prerogative to
a., j i ,u j "-11. "wa-
other what is right or wrong for
iiim, ,. Mere. refraining from sin Is
not enough the . important thing
is tne reason, befiina .tfiat refrain
Ing. We have no right tq- hurt
others by our actions. (
Mr. Hayter also brought out the
point that to condemn a point of
view unheard is the highest form
of bigotry... The sermon was-ie
xnarkable for Its lucidity, its coher
ence and its deep sincerity. It is
the best sermon I have hrardT'ifti

be commended upon their interest
without an active, scout leader. They
have been assisted in their scouting
by the Reverend J. T. Hayter, Jr..
who is unable to devote full tune
to' them since he is In charge of
the Hallsvtlle Troop. It seems to
the roving reporter mat there ought
to be a young man in our town who
has enough interest in boy a ad
scouting to offer his services as a
scoutmaster. Certainly It will take
time but anything worthwhile does,
and the leader will derive fat more
benefit from time so spent than
he could doing anything else with

LAMP IN DARKNESS
If I can bear your love like a lamp
before me,
When . I go down the long, steej
road of darkness,
I shall not fear the everlasting
shadow,
Nor cry in terror.
If I can find out God, then I shall
find him.
If cone can find him, then I shall
sleep soundly,
Knowing how well on earth your
love sufficed me,
A Lamp in darkness.

I am not quite sure just whit
middle age is where it begins and
ends when we achieve it Per
haps the process is so gradual that
all at once we have arrived there
without knowing It a gentle. im
perceptbile change.. I know from
experience that we do realize It
when we have gone back to tbe
twenty-fifth re-union of our col
lege class and note all the physical
changes In our class mates, and
they must also in us. The realiza
tion often comes to us, too, when
our children leave home and enter
college, and even with more force,
vJlhen they marry and establish
homes of their own., Then our
function as mothers Is over or cer
tainly ought to be. 'We have no
right to live our children's lives
for them or to interfere in their
problems or their pleasures. It's
a good time for taking stock of our
selves and asking ourselves what
next Do we sit back quietly and
wait for death? Do we try vainly to
recapture our fast vanishing youth
and become not only undignified
but ridiculous? A humorus sug
gestion about a very serious ques
tion Is given in the following poem
by the late Alice Duer Miller and
it makes far more sense than we
might like to admit .
A Modern Proposal
Sylvia, by dear, I would be yours
with pleasure,
All that you are seems excellent to
me,
Except your mother, who's much
more at leisure
Than mothers ought to be. . 1
Find her a fad, a job, an occupation,
Eugenics, dancing, uplift, yes, or
crime,
Set her to work for her Emanci
pation That takes a lot of time.
Or, if the suffrage doctrine fails to
charm her,
There are the Antis rather In her
line
Guarding the Home from Maine to
Alabama
Would keep her out of mine.
Which is as much truth as poetry
and points a way if not the way
for all of us. I do not know how
many women of 40 and over are

patients of doctors, patients who
have every imaginary ill under the
sun, but I am sure there are thou
sands and thousands of these fret
ful, ; discontented women ; Whose
preoccupation with themselves is a
burden to the doctors, to their fam
ilies, and too often to their com
munities. These are the gals who
indulge most in petty, malicious
gossip, who spread ugly tales about
people of whom they are jealous,
who nag their husbands, who keep
their children unhappy and their
friends distressed. The gals who
waste their time by living in a past
which seems so desirable and nap-.
py now tnat it has been uvea
through, who always say what they
might have done if they had had a
chance, or how they had married
someone else, had not married the
poor guy whose life they daily make
miserable. One trouble with them
is that they stop growing in a world
which has no place for stunted and
warped people they refuse to
make the effort to keep their minds'
and their bodies and their souls
alive. Too often, they act like
spoiled children which Indeed,
they are. .
One of the first obligations that
we all have is to grow up, to act or
react in a mature, adult fashion
when problems arise to be settled.
If we have courage, and it takes a
lot of courage, we should take time
and reflect Quietly UDon our lives
and ask what we can do to improve
ourselves,' to overcome our faults,
our weaknesses, a ruthless self
examination if you will-rend let'
us be honest with ourselves. Soc-'
rates said long ago that the first
law is to 'Know Thyself.' It is not
a pleasant assignment 'either so
many of us are not nice people at
all, but selfish, petulant, self-cent
ered, demanding attention from
our family and our friends to bols
ter an ego that must feel very in
secure. But if you have had the
courage to take that first step, then
there is a glimmer of hope for you,
because once you can see your
faults, you can most certainly do
something about them. Anything
in Heaven or earth Is possible with
enough faith, will power, resolu
tion. You can pull yourself out
of whatever slough of despond
I) M
(MM
you have let youself get into If
you want to. You can develop a
real and rewarding Interest in hun
dreds of things you can Improve
your mind, your health, your soul
if you want to. You can become
so Interested in others, in a cause,
in. work that you won't have time
to be interested in yourself .and
you will have learned a secret of
charm you will become complete
ly unself-eonscious. Intense in
terest in others always is a good
thing-anyway, you can learn some
thing from every person you meet
'If a person takes it for granted
that his present store of know
ledge is sufficient for the rest of
his life, he is immature' he be
comes fixed and rigid, dogmatic
in an everchanging world and the
world by-passes him.
You can keep your mind as well
as your body supple by exercise.
You Can ada stature to your soul
by doing things for others help
ing people when they need you.
You can even suppllment the fam
ily income by getting a part time
job. You say that you have never
worked, you don't know what you
can do. Have you ever tried to find
out where your real abilities lie?
The U. S. Employment Service
gives a very comprehensive abili
ties test you might be surprised
at some of your latent talents. You
are dissatisfied with the way you
lootr-you can certainly . change
that. - You don't like your voice.
weuthat'S easy It takes exercise
and patience but you can develop
charming voice if you want te
enough. You have always wanted
to learn how . to sew, or te type, or
to become a really superb cook?
Why don't you? You can do any
thing in this world that you make
up your mind to do if you hve
faith and patience and tenacity.
There is no place in this world for
discontented woman and no
matter how sorry she feels for her
self, no else feels sorry for her.
Life can be lots of fun every day
of the time that is left to us, ue
matter where we live or in what
condition of life it has pleased fate
to put us. It is up to us, no one
else. Let us expand our area of
awareness we will become wiser
