SMALL sums HELP
In WINNING WAR
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A WEEK
FROM EACH WOULD MEAN A
BILLION AND A QUARTER.

Those in charge of the sale of
thrift stamps assert that it is neces-
sary to correct the impression that
small amounts saved are not import
ant in the present crisis. To correct
such an impression the following
facts are pointed out:
The United States treasury is now
receiving from the buyers of war
saving stamps every day money to
build more than 10000 tons of ships.
The war savers have already turned
over to the government funds for the
building of 100000 tons.
Twenty-Five cents each week saved
by each man, woman and child in
America will total the sum of ST.
25O,OO0,0OO at the end of one year.
All the dollars in the world cannot
buy victory. Victory is not purchas-
able-we must work for it; if need
be, die for it. Dollars can work for
victory only in so far as they are
converted into labor and materials.
We are told by those in authority
that there are not enough materials
and not enough labor to continue to
buy things that we bought before
war time and at the same time buy
necessary supplies for soldiers.
While every effort should be en-
listed to carry on trade and com
merce, it must be borne in mind that
in war times unusual actions are de-
manded to meet unusual conditions.
Saving is necessary to avoid this
competition and to help provide the
necessary funds for the government.

WOULD PLACE ESTATE
IN HANDS OF STATE
MRS. TUCKER LEFT $45,OO0 FOR
THE EDUCATION OF POOR
GIRLS OF GEORGIA.

Readers of The News will remem-
her that Mrs. Francis c.. Tucker, of
Atlanta, who was taken i'll upon her
arrival in Dawson last fall to attend
the state convention of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, died
soon after her return home.
A proposal to place the estate of
Mrs. F. G. Tucker in hands of the
state of Georgia, to act as perpetual
trustee, has been made by o. E. and
M. C. Horton, Atlanta attorneys who
were named as executors of Mrs
fuckers will bequeathing an estate
of $4,000 for the education of poor
girls.
In this connection Attorneys Hor-
ton have written to Gov. Dorsey and
Attorney General Walker for their
opinion as to whether the state has
authority to act in this capacity. In
his letter Mr.. Horton says:
The Joe Brown Endowment.
"About 35 years ago the late Gov.
Joseph E. Brown gave $4,000 to the
University Of Georgia, and the in
come from this was to be devoted to
the education Of poor young men to
whom the money was to be loaned at
4 per cent. At first this fund sup

SOME COTTON HAS ALREADY
BEEN PLANTED IN TERRELL
Boil Weevil Will Have to Hustle If
He Gets Ahead of the Farmers
of This Section.

Some Terrell county farmers be-
gan planting cotton ten days ago,
and many others are now ready to
begin and will soon have the seed
in the burrows.
This is perhaps the first time cot
ton was ever planted in this section
in February, the idea being to make
an early CROP and beat the weevil.
The Terrell county farmer is al
ways on the job and the weevil, if
it has not already done so, will soon
find that it will have to get an early
start to get ahead of him.

THREE STARS ON SERVICE
FLAG IN TERRELL HOME
The Lunday Family Has Furnished
Three Soldiers to Fight the Ger

There are three stars on the SER
vice flag at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Lunday at Chickasaw-
hatchee. We see many of these SER
vice flags all over Terrell county,
and each carries its own thrilling
story of patriotism, but probably the

county that has furnished three SOL
diers to help win the war.

thesecretp of the most Hign shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. =. There shall
no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling' Yet, at the very moment
when the churches should be filling the minds
Of the people with peace, and reassur1ng them OF
the impotency of evil, it is proposed that, these
churches shall be shut, and that the admission
shall be made that it is dangerous for men and
women to congregate to worship God, for tear
the Lords arm is so shortened that He cannot
contend with microbes. On the other hand if
people believe that God sends pestilence into the
world, for the good of the world, wi right have
they to protect themselves against this pestl-
lence, and to attempt by the drinking Of drugs,
by methods Of segregation, or by>any means at
all, to prevent the anger of the Lord from taking
effect. The very fact that all men and women
endeavor to protect themselves against disease,
at all times, is the proof, to any sane person, that
in its heart the world does not believe that discord
proceeds from Principle, that death comes out of
life, or that reprsals are the work of Love.
''The Way,'' writes Mrs. Eddy, in famous
sentence on page 2O1 of Science and Health, ito
extract error from mortal mind is to pour in truth
through flood-tides of Love-" Now not even the
natural scientist will deny that the way to over
come any condition at all is to learn the truth
about it. Until the truth has been learned man
fights with his hands tied behind him, or at the
best like the boxer in the Greek games, who,
Paul declared, beat the air. The Christian re-
ligion is perfectly clear on this point. Jesus of
Nazareth himself declared, eye shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free" If the
truth will not free men from microbes, it will not
free them from anything at all. Now it is per-
fecty certain that if the truth about Christianity
exists anywhere, it exists in the Bible, and that
one way to learn this truth is through the
churches consecrated for the purpose of promul-
eating it, and not by closing their doors in token
of their impotency. The church which closes its
doors practically procaims its impotency, and the
admission isa terrible one when it is made in the
hour of nation need. If the arm of the Lord is
so shortened that He cannot save, what is the
good of the siren whistles to call people to prayer
every day at midday? Is it to be supposed that
the prayers for the success of Truth in the war
will be more successful than the prayers in the
churches for freedom from influenza? Let the
sirens shrek on week days, but the churches be
closed on Sundays. Surely it was wise man
who once said, "A mad world, my masters!''

=: Fear is the most prolific source Of all evil. Of
course, if fear WERE understood in its full meta
physical significance, it would be understood to
be the provoking cause of all evil of every sort.
But even from the ordinary point of view of the
numbers, is capable of causing greater disaster
than any other phase of the human conscious
ness. The pagan philosophers realized that there
was such thing as the fear of fear; in other
words, as they stated it, the fear of death was
worse than death ITSELF Centuries later Shake
speare appropriated the. idea and put precisely
the same sentiment into the mouth of Isabella,
in *'Measure for Measure" and, indeed, any one
who knows anything at all of history knows how
disease was spread upon the wings of fear in the
case of that awful visitation of the Fourteenth
Century known as the Black Death, and again
when pestilence of similar nature swept Lon
don, in the Seventeenth Century. .
Some day the world will come to see that
what it calls contagonis is mental contagion, and
that what it calls infection is the infection of one
mind from another. Orthodox medical practice
today largely recognizes this, but it draws back
from the logical consequences of its own admis-
sion, and endeavors to shelter itself in halfway
house; which is built partially out of mind and
partially out of matter. Any person who has
watched the ravages of such disease as cholera
inthe East must know exactly what this means.
The European sahib, going about doing his duty,
and quite fearless of consequences, moves
through the cholera camps with perfect i'm
munity from the disease. But the native,
stricken by this disease, lies down almost where
he is overcome by it, whether in his house or by
the roadside, convinced, in the suddenness of
the shock and the confusion of his fear that the
moment has come from which it is useless for
him to attempt to escape.
In such conditions it is surely obvious that the
sanest treatment is to do everything possible to
destroy fear. Fear in Christian community
shouldb eself-condemned. Some nineteen GEN.
turies. of reading the Johannine epistles should
surely have effected this if Christendom is I'M
derstanding what it reads. It is little to the point
to say that fear is uncomfortable, for any person
who has ever had anything to do with causes
which produce fear knows that this is not the
case. Probably every man who has made the
sea his profession has been through periods of
fear which he has had to overcome in order to
gain that sereneness in danger, without which
Evening star., 1918-10-20


he would be liability instead of an asset on
board his ship. Practically every'rnan who has
ever been into action on land can tell you some
thing ofthe sickening sensations of the first expe
rence of battle. But as time goes on the veteran
rises superior to the fears of the recruit and daily,
takes his life in his hands with calmness which
shows that he has learned something at any rate
of the dominion over fear. 1t is surely obvious
then that in an hour Of great fear, when the pre-
valling tone of the human mind, in the midst OF
the conflict of Armageddon, finds expression in
an epidemic; that Christian country should
rather resort to its churches relieve itself of its
fears than close their doors so as to sound the top
note of human agony in belief that Gods hand
is so shortened that it cannot save.
Let any person who has been brought in con-
tact with the conditions of today ask himself
frankly whether it is not fear which is playing
such fearful havoc in the world. Everywhere
men and women are afraid. Afraid in the areas
of war Of storm blast that may at any moment
strike over them; afraid within the orbit of the
air squadrons of the sound of the terrible engines
whining in the darkness overhead, and of hear
ing the bombs explode all round; boys sleeping
fearfu1y in the trenches, waiting for the sum-
mons in the gray morning to go over the top, and
men and women sleeping in towns and villages,
miles and thousands of miles away, fearful of
what in that very moment may be happening to
those whom they love; men and women at sea,
waiting as it were for the explosion of torpedoes;
or even men and women in immediate physical
safety, wondering what effect the war is going
to have on their incomes and their lives. A great
fear has stricken the world and it is little wonder
if out of this fear there have emerged pestilences
and diseases which have mounted on the winds
of fear and scattered their seeds in every direc-
ton.
In such circumstances what would it be eX-
pected that Christian community should do?
WOULD itnot, remembering the words of the Bible
that "perfect love casteth out fear," be to ask
itself if there were not something ar1iss with its
understanding of love which makes love power
less to overcome fear? And should it not natur-
ally fling wider open the doors of its churches,
confident thatin doing right, by worshping God,
no i'll could touch it? Have Christian countries
so completely come to distrust the doctrines they
profess that the 9lst Psalm is no longer protec-
ton against fear and against disease, against pes
thence and against war?-:'H He that dwelleth in
