" - - ( mm 13, f i' v C oaament NER Our Sunday School teacher used this little story in illustrating the diffrculties of pastors in dealing with their congregations and it is so true to life that we just had to repeat it. The pastor was preaching on the evils of such .things as drinking and gambling and gossiping about one's neighbors, and as he pro gressed from one evil to the other, he got a resounding "amen" from a faithful member who was a dominant leader in the affairs of the church. But before the sermon was finished the preacher express ed the opinion that the use of to bacco in the form of snuff or other wise, was of no value to the hu man body and; that its use was self-satisfying and had no place in the Christian home. From this, the pastor got no "amen" but instead, tie good faithful member turned Vtc her neighbor and said, "Now he has stopped preaching and started meddling." And while at church, the fan- . tastic 'idea of psychiatrists for i-.gnats sure enough our minds. The people were worried by the gnats sure enough, but we some times like to take tile side of the underddg and can you imagine how frustrated those poor, gnats must be. They-had to dodge fans from the time Sunday School started un til the regular church service end , ed. .Maybe a, little frost end L. their lives will be welcome to them In this i column we take i the liber- ty of praising things that we like 'and sometimes even v dp. little fussing. Today we .wyjd like to point out the reawakening, if we may use that term, of the Mer chants Association. Tt.is is an or ganization of Clayton Merchants ttiat is now going about its busi ness in a workmanlike manner and, in our opinion, doing a good job. We don't mean to imply that it had ever been dead or even asleep, but it la a better organiza tion now than It has been at times in its history. To our way of thinking, there are tw0 ingredients that go to make or break a Merchants Association a group of merchants . that, are willing to,, work together Vwith a sound program - for the benefit of all and a good secretary that can and will carry out that , program. We intend ; no iinkindness toward any one; . but it has been"; theopin- ion ofsome: tliat self interest has sometimes swayed, the policies of : the Association and that factional politics ; has ; also been allowed to disrupt i the" smooth functioning of its work. The Association has also been hampered by secretaries who ' were unhappy unless they were en ' gaged.in r . colossal,L-stupendous , promotion that made a lot of noise but put very-Uttle ;mOney; hv, Clay. r ton cash 1 registers and also by per iods of time that it had no secre tary at all. 1 We, have had no disrupting '.poll-. . tical fights recently and old scar have healed. The Merchants Ass: elation ha ' worked v out; , a, ;Tsound program of trying to attract busi ness and : its operation is ! ejnpc'A : and 'solid. Last but not least, Mt v- lias 'a very capable secretary, yet one who Is willing to .follow rather . than dictate to the t officers and : directors of the Asrociatipn, As we said before, the Clay ten I-cr chants Association isjnow goins: dbdut its bucln diss' . in a wcrliman like manner, and in our opinion; la . do!nsr a good job.-. - r.:3 merchants will benefit from this cssociaticn and that ia aa it "x::culd be but C:o tov.Ti and trai lrz crca ttIU fcc::::it alro.
