time had been the lowest official
record here this year, Highlands
has had real winter weather this
week. It is usually from one to

LETTER
AN APPEAL FOR ACTION
Editor :
Will you give me space in your
paper to speak to the people of
Macon county on a subject that is
vital to our peace, purity and safe
ty? Jf there were no conflicts' be
tween God and the devil over man,
then what I wish to say would be
unnecessary.
The strife is on and is fierce
and man's heart and will is the bat
tle ground.
The world has to acknowledge
that the devil holds great sway
today. Even children recognize
this fact in them and excessive
wickedness is reaching down into
the infantile age everywhere as is
evidenced by their lives cursing,
stealing, drinking, having their own
way with parents and all no fear
at God or man. Many parents are
worse than many children because
the responsibility rests on them.
How many parents make criminals
of their own children?
Think of the disregard for hu
man life, the life of the body, to
say nothing of the soul. One hun
dred and forty-four thousand more
lives lost by auto accidents in the
last fifteen years than in all our
wars since 1776.
All this carelessness for the body
and for God's sake, who really
cares for the soul in a way to
really get life into it? Let the
world tell us. Where's the weep
ing over sin and souls? Where's
the real praying? Where's the
preaching that brings conviction,
repentance, and life? Where's the
holy power and conditions that
cause God to be manifestly with
us?

All this looms large before the
gJod peoplex who think and care
and is a world challenge to the
best that's in them. In the face
of all this sin and discouragement,
thank God there are good people
and true preachers yet. These are
the salt, the hope, the God-ordained
and the only God-appointed
means through which better times
in economical, moral and spiritual
sense can come.
My appeal is to you, Oh men
and women of God. Let's not give
up. All the infiniteness of God's
power is at our command.
All that is lacking to bring the
change so many of you have told
me you wanted in regard to
drunkenness, social and political
sins and spirituality in the churches
is for us to furnish the human
active power to match God's against
it and make His will ours in a
way equal to the emergency.
The world and the devil say it
can't be done; but we, as persuas
ive welfare workers, give both the
lie and say it can and that in a
large way.
We have a plan that will suc
ceed where adopted and used just
as sure as the gospel succeeds.
This plan is described in a book
which we hope to have ready for
use soon.
As we come to you with our
mass meetings and religious and
temperance shows, join hearts and
hands with us, as those have whom
we have seen.

REGARDING OUR DEBT
TO THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
As the Yuletide approaches a
time in which love and kindness
is extended to all : Did I say "all,'
or have we perhaps forgotten the
tender appreciation due the animal
kingdom; their necessary service so
willingly rendered us? Their love
and loyalty? The cheer and beau
ty brought by them into our lives ?
Or, do we sometimes repay these
values in abuse, starvation, suffer
ing? Oh, with what dread do
some of us anticipate the boyish
shotgun, the sling-shot, the hunts
men's vacation, now so near at
hand! Of the boy, we say "child
ish pleasure;" of the huntsman,
"sport." Oh, when shall we learn
that these beautiful creatures bril
liant songsters, sportive squirrels,
all in pursuit of their domestic
happiness are just as entitled to
safety, freedom and life as we ?
Yet they are hunted down, possibly
maimed and thus, hiding and Weed
ing, suffer perhaps days until the
end. Does this appear humane and
proper? We treat, I fear, the so
called instinct in animals too light
ly. I am impelled -here to relate a
little story I read the other day,
by E. Harrington, holding back
the tears as I read.
, "Once when I was sent on a
mission to the Chi State, I saw a
litter of young pigs trying to nour
ish themselves from their dead
mother. After a little they looked
at her with quick glances, and all
left her and ran away. For she
looked at them no more ani seem
ed to be no longer akin to them
selves. What they had loved was
thejr mother not her body, but
that which made it live!" Social
precedents still tolerates our so
called ,Jsport." Fortunately we
have outlawed the more brutal
practices along these lines.
However, civilization, in this, has
not yet arrived at the place where
noble culture is founded upon ten
derness of heart. So let us take
our inspiration from the quick re
spouse all animals show to kind
ness and thus make" this particular
Christmas one in witch all join
in resolution to show more con
sideration to all animal, life.
