It stems to me that once can trace with a degree of accuracy the concep tion of God held by men, as we trace the changes in man's occupa tions God has a greater chance of U*ing a living personality to a farm er than He is to a man who works a machine When the farmer 1oo4c3 at his stock in the barn he realizes that these animals are wholly depend ent on him for their life ad*'J sup port It is an easy step for him to the realization that he himself is like wise utterly dependent upon God Ilis animals grow attached to him as their feeder and k'eeper They al - most learn to love him in their crude way This seit'Je of denepdence all about h:,m helps the man in the coun try to k'eep the glamour of God as his feeder and keeper and defender But to the man who stajids day after day at a machine, and watches tiiuae iiicuianoi processes go oii, without change or variation, this sense of dependence is not so keen The machine is not dependent on the man If he deserts it it will not suffer It is not a relationship —it is a process He does not learn to love the machine as a living thing It does not love him as a master Is it any wonder that in this industrial age we are bound to fin'd a new teach niquee for religion*? The 23rd Psalmist not nearly so real to a ma chine •operator a6 it ift Jfco. a, sheet herder Men are growing to think today as never before of the universe as a machine governed by unchanging law Not a little of this conception is due to the influence of the ma.. chine No one diseres to destroy the machine It is our servant What we .must do is ta try to find a way to ■make the lost seiise of God return to the mass of the people It is no longer a question as to what men think about God It is now a question as to whether men think there is a God Keligion irt this day must bring God back to thfe human heart, to the family fireside, and to the common life of the people If we can do this, we .haive tiegun to win the battle A people may be judged in a fairly accurate way if we know what they think of God It is my belief that He must be made for men a Spirit,who is infinte, immutable, everlasting, and that these qualities must apply to His wis dam, Holiness, Justice, Goodness and Truth 7th DISTRICT U D C The Seventh District of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held their annual meet in Sanford Tues_ day in the ladies’ parlor of the Pres byterian church Mrs Victor R Johnson is director The meeting opened by singing “The Old North State’* Greetings were by Mrs H P Makepeace, chair... -man of the Lee County Chapter The response was by Mrs Julian N Greg ory Mrs M J McPhadl rendered a piano solo The address was by Mrs John N Anderson, followed by a solo l|y Mrs Makepeace Miss Carrie Jackson gave some Southern .melodies All sirring Dixie brought the meeting to a close There was a splendid ^teftdance* and a very enjoyable day was spent together Luncheon was servecf at the Carolina Hotel to 51 people 1 SANFORD LIONS ATTEND WINSTON SALEM ANNIVERSARY Dr and Mrs G G Chiles, Mr and Mrs A K Miller and Mr Prank Clegg attended the 15th anniversary of the Wii»dton_Sal«n Lions Clum Wednes day evening i This was also the birthday of Judge Hasting*, father of Lionism in North Carolina, and the Saitford Lion’s Club presented him with a huge birthday cake FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY j STEELE STREET METHODIST CHURCH The fiftieth anniversary of the oi-gamzacion ox Steele Street Method ist church was observed last Sunday morning with appropriate exercises in the presence of a large congrega tion of present and former members and visiting friends.

The Christian church he declared, is the only institutor/ that has survived during the social chang es and economic unheavals that have taken place since it was organized Mr. Noble reviewed to some ex tent history of the Metholist church and declared that the men who had organized it .were imbued with . * burning desire to evaluate the Thi ( mart race and that spirit that founded the church was the same spirit that had carried it on. 1 In closing the speaker urged the members of the church to give it th eir financial support. We can give without love, he said, but we cannot love without giving. “Some church | members think, they, have to look af ! ten their business first, but if we do God's work we can be sure that He will take care of- our business/' I Mr. Noble urged his hearers to take a stand against Sabbath desecr ation and he also had something to say about the liquor question. “Let • the people know where you stand on this question, so important to the wel fare of the people." He paid his re spects to the General Assembly who had voted against a state referendum * on the liquor question and predicted that they would hear from the peo ple later.
