TAX
IS CONSTITUTIONAL

ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 18.-Georgia S
inheritance tax law is not unconsti-
tutionaI, at least upon any of the
grounds set up in this particular case
according to a decision just handed
down by the supreme court in litiga-
ton coming up from Dougherty coun-
ty, the court holding that the law i'm
poses tax upon the transfer of the
property and not upon the property
itself
In 1917 the state of Georgia collect
ed a total of $243,S71 from inheritance
taxes, which was equal to the tax on
$48, 774,294 worth of Georgia farm land.
The inheritance tax law and the tax
equalization law were enacted as COM
panion measures during the admins
tration Of Governor John NJ. Slaton.
An effort has been made at almost
every succeeding session of the legis-
lature to repeal the equalization law.
but no attack has ever been made on
the inheritance law in that body.

And when = for so I sometimes
I've swum the dark, the silent
stream,
So cold, it takes the breath away
That parts the dead world from the
day,
And see upon the further strand
The lazy. listless angels stand,
And with frank and fearless eyes
The comrades whom most did
prize:
Then, clean, unburdened, careless,
cool,
I'll saunter up from that grim pool,
And join my friends: then you'll
come by,
The Captain of our Company:
Call me out. look me up and down,
And pass me through without a
With half a smile, but never a
And so / shall have met me Lord"

an adventure in which He always
had great forces against Him. He
needed all His quiet strength, and
His consummate bravery. He need
ed a spirit that could not be con-
quered by fear. 1t was His lot to-
take great risks and to take them
daily.
The strain of 1t was tremendous.
There were times when He had to
go away, and be with God through
long, lonely nights in order to recov-
er His strength. But from such
times He always emerged serene and
strong again. He was perpetually
on active service. and never knew
the respite of safe life in a retired
home. The cross on which He died
was on His shoulders all through His
days. He had a great affectionate
heart. and yet had to see friend after
friend depart. and to discover that
His calling was making Him intense

longings for joy and ease, but He had
to forego them in order to be true

ness than much of our conventional
Christian poetry:
"Jesus, Whose lot with US was cast,
Who saw it out, from first to last:
Patient and fearless, tender, true,
Carpenter, Vagabond, felon, Jew:
Whose humorous eye took in each
phase
OF full rich life this world displays,
Yet evermore kept fast in view
The far-off goal it leads us to:
Who, as your hour neared, did not
The worlds fate trembled in the
: scale
With your half-hearted band to
dine,
And chat across the bread and wine:
Then went out firm to face the end,
Alone. without a single friend:
Who felt, as your last words con-
fessed,
Wrung from a proud unfiinching
breast
BY hours of dull ignoble pain,
Your whole life's fight was fought
in vain:
Would I could win and keep and
feel
That heart of love, that spirit of
steel.
'I would not to Thy bosom fly
To stink off till the storms go by.
If you are like the man you were
You'd turn with scorn from such a
prayer,
Unless from some poor workhouse
crone,
Too toil-worn to do aught but moan.
Flog me and spur me, set me
straight
At some vile job I fear and hate:
Some sickening round of long en-
deavor,
No light, no rest, no outlet ever:
All at pace that must not slack,
Tho heart would burst and sinews
crack:
Fog in ones eyes. the brain a-swim
A weight like lead in every limb,
And a raw pit that hurts like hell
Where once the light breath rose
and fell:
Do you but keep me, hope or none.
CHEEKY and staunch till all is done,
And, at the last gasp, quick to lend
One effort more to serve a friend.

ing out. In a mysterious and violent
fashion, the race is being lifted up
to higher levels. Already we have
!, learned a lesson which the centuries
had failed to teach us-the sacred
ness of the personality and rights of
the weaker peoples and nations.
Brotherhood has had it's best eX-
emplification alongside of all of the
strife of the past for years. Justice
is seen to be more valuable than
safety, and, in the words of the one
great interpreter of the moral mean
ings of the war, the right is more
precious than peace" All who have
analyZed the mind of the soldiers are
agreed that there is a new resolute-
ness to right the society and econo-
mic and industrial wrongs that nave
long existed in our nations. This
midnight experience of humanity is
but the forerunner of the brightest
morning man has known. All
thoughtful persons-and who is not
thoughtful in these days?-look for
ward to reconstructed world.
The Soil Where Souls Grow
Any soil is good for soul-growth-
except that which is too rich. Herein
is a spiritual paradox, contrary to
the analogy of nature. Stony ground
produces granite characters. Bar
renS swept by winds of adversely,
grow fruitful spirits. Hard circum-
stances make hardy heroes. DepriVa-
ton becomes addition. Softly-nur-
tured lads are changed by the war
from idleness and uselessness into
noble manhood, Usually, the SOL
dier finds himself in the service.
Then welcome each rebuff

Each sting that bids nor sit nor

Be our joys three-parts pain!
Strive, and hold cheap the strain;
Learn, nor account the pang; dare,

Robert Browning.
While society is busy trying to
make a nonentity of everybody, seek
ing conformity at all costs, God is at
work building personalities. Our
prevalent conceptions of religion
have committed few greater blunders
than this, that they have exalted the
passive virtues, and have stressed an
ascetic -effacement, so that the
model Christian, held up for
youths emulation, is a forceless,
characterless, inoffensive creature
that really is an offense to both God
and man. God wants personalities.
He would have His friends to be
mighty in their individuality. He
gets no honor from showdy saints,
singing "Oh, to be nothing" and
leaving no more permanent impress
sion upon their world than a refiec-
ton does upon mirror. Christ was
all personality. He was a Somebody
for the sake of everybody. For it
is a kindergarten lesson that we must
be before we can do. The education
which effaces individuality from the
child, and the religion which sub
tracts force from character, both do
violence to Gods great law of life
and growth.
In reaction against the soft and de-
featist type of religion. which seeks
only refuge, and sings hymns of
flight from the world, British bar
