The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1910-07-01

W
people OF Newberry generally.
want you to read it and cut it out
and paste il in your scrap book and
read it every day. Fact is. YOU should
keep the Book from which these lines
are taken before YOU all the time, but
I'm afraid some Of you do not:
Though 7 speak with the tongues
OF men and Of angels and have not
charity, I am become as sounding
brass or tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift Of pro-
phecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I have
all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not charity,
am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods
to feed the poor, and though I give
my body to be burned, and have not
charity, it profteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth
not itself, is not puffed up.
Doth not behave itself unseemly.
seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but re-
joiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all
things, hopeth all things, endureth
all things.
Charity never faileth; but whether
there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues, they shall
cease; whether there be knowledge, it
shall vanish away.
For we know in part, and we pro-
phesy in part.
But when that which is perfect is
come, then that which is in part shall
be done away.
When I was a child, spake as a
child, I understood as child, [
thought as a child; but when I be
came a man, 7 put away childish
things.
For now we see through a glass
darkly; but then face to face; now I
know in part; but then shall know
even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, char
ity, these three but the greatest Of
these is charity.
Did you know this is found in a
chapter with thirteen verses and that
the chapter is thirteen. The Book
probably you will recognize. The
fact is as I have heretofore remark
ed it is a great Book and should be
read and reread and then if you will
heed its precepts and its teachings
and make them part of your life and
conduct you will be a good citizen. II
more of us would rejoice in the truth
it would be better world. Then this
thing doth not behave unseemly and
is not easily provoked and thinketh
no evil.
Wonder what has become of that
Y. NJ. G. A. building We were to have
in Newberry. Little towns like Sum-
ter and Greenville and Columbia are
raising money for a Y. NJ. C. A. and
here is Newberry not doing anything.
I read in one OF the Newberry pa
pers the other day that the good wo-
men of the town who are trying to
keep up a library did not get much
encouragement when they went
around to raise little one hundred
dollars for the maintenance of a Ii
hrary What do you think Of that?
Does it mean that everybody has
mean that the people of this college
town do not appreciate the value Of
a hood book? The old court house
building would make an ideal library
building and rest room A good Ii
brary in there would make it so much
more restful. And it ought to be
made a county affair. Well. Well, l
am almost sick at heart. I believe
will close hoping that you are en-
joying the same good health of body
and mind and soul that I am and that
you are entirely satisfied with your
self and your condition which I am
Il It. Give my love to all the chill
dren and tell them 7 have been try
ing hard to do something for them
but I am almost getting sick at
heart, and ready to ask, is it worth
while.
