BOYS MUST RAISE •
DNEYBYMONDAY
Coach Miller Says Highs
Must Have $75 or Inter-
Murals Start
Baseball’s fate at Henderson high
school will be decided over the week
end, and all hinges upon the success
of the boys in raising enough money
to carry on the sport for the season,
according to Coach Bing MilleT.
Miller has announced that he will
give the boys until Monday to rai«
the funds, and if they fail, baseball
will be a dead issue at the school for
this season, the first time since the
spovt was introduced.
Miller’s plans call for inter-mural,
sports if baseball fails, and he is
anxious to launch that program as
soon as possible.
It was learned from Edgar Ed
wards that the boys have sold S3O!
worth of season tickets, and that 15
of the boys will pay <sl each, according
to Miller, bringing the total to $45
leaving S3O to be raised during the
week-end to get the $75 Miller says
the boys must have before they begin
baseball.

cause the special $1 per conviction
levy should be turned in by every
court except those of the Jay Pees.
The 1937 General Assembly autho
rized the $1 cost levy to defray ex
penses of a State Bureau of Identifi
cation, which was to be set up when
and as the money came in. For a
long, long time it seemed that few, if
any, courts of the State knew or
cared anything about the matter and
the new law. On the theory that this
was because the multitudes of may
or’s and recorder's courts just didn’t
know about the statute, it was decid
ed to put on a special collector to go
around and make the collections. Mr.
•Morris was chosen.
His activities immediately began to
•show results in the shape of increas
ed returns. He has visited only about
half the State’s counties so far. When
he gets round to them all it is expect
ed results will be even better.
When Morris went to work the
first of the year, a total of 165 courts
had made returns of the fees as re
quired by law. As of March 15, this
total had risen to 237. Auditor Pou
expressed the belief that the Morris
visitations will eventually show that
there are about 350 courts (an aver
age of 3 1-2 to the county) in the
State, exclusive of justices of the

THE CHURCH—WHY?
I am certain that every man, wo
man and child in this community be
lieves in God, believes in divine cre
ation, believes in the church as an
institution of God. It is true in
every community, all the best of that
community is centered around the
church and its activities, and the in
fluence of the church is felt to their
far limits of that community. Take
the church and its influence away
and soon every farm and home
would be vacant. No family would
care to live away from the church
and its influence, even though they
seldom, if ever, attend its services.
Every home in this county receives
a proportionate benefit from the in
fluences of the churches here and
elsewhere, and owe thir support to
the church for this benefit. Each
one in this county may receive even
a greater benefit by regular attend
ance upon the services of the church.

The prime minister did not say what

An OLD Maryland slave of ante
bellum days, riding through the coun
try in an open wagon through a
drenching rain, carefully sheltering
an old hat under the wagon seat, was
asked why he thus protected his hat
instead of his head, and he replied.
“Because the hat belongs to me, but.
the head belongs to Master.” How
often we seem to follow the same rea
soning as we give more care to safe
guarding our property than we give
to safeguarding the health and well
being of our bodies.
Our Disreputable Bodies.
The human body has come in for a
lot -of unmerited vilification,, even in
the name of religion. Too often it is
iset over against the spirit as neces
sarily hostile t@ everything good.
What abuse and torture have been
heaped upon it in the hope.that the
torture of the body might atone for
the sins of the soul. God might have
created us disembodied spirits. But,
instead, he wisely loaned us todies to
be “presented, a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is our spiri
tual service.” We may as fully con
secrate and dedicate our bodies to
spiritual service as our minds or souls.
“Know ye not that your body is a tern
pie of the Holy Spirit, which is in
you, which we have from God.” “Know
ye not that ye are 1 a temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in
you? If any man destroyeth the tern
pie of God, him shall God destroy; so:
the temple of God is holy and such
are ye.” So highly did God regard the
human body that he was unashamed
to dwell in one, in the person of his
Son, and even to take it back to
heaven with his. ascension.
Bodily Sacrilege.
We commit^'an act of sacrilege,
therefore, when we willfully destroy
the things of the body, the temple of
God’s spirit, or when we prostitute
its furnishings from their high pur
poses to base and sinful indulgence,
harmful to our own bodily health and
well-being or that of others. To safe-

Paul wrote to the Corinthians to regard
their bodies as "the temple of God,” and
to treat them accordingly. To willfully

guard the mechanism of our auto
mobiles and utterly disregard the in
finitely more complicated and de
licate mechanism of our bodies is a
species of temple sacrilege. To will
fully abuse these divine temples by
intemperance of any type is sacrilege
as serious as that of injuring the phy
sical property of a sacred edifice. Ac
cordingly, the mother of Samson, be
, fore her child’s birth, was restricted
in the use of that, which might injure
•the child’s welfare: “She may not
eat of anything that cometh from
the vine, neither let her drink wine
or strong drink, nor eat any unclean
thing.” For our own bodily health, and
that of our children this advice is as
wholesome as then.
