partial comprehension Of it's fullness
we may move toward fultillment Of the
measure of our lives.

The Art of Living With Others.
Continued from page one)

makes the practical application tc
life and character. He exhorts TO con
Isecration, to non-conformity to the
world, and observance Of the various
obligations to our fellow-men.
Among the duties Joined is the
one indicated in our text, the duty oil
being at peace with our fellow men
Note the provision for possible eX'
ception. ''If it be possible, as much
as lieth in you" We must do what
we can to be at peace with all men
but when we have done our best
there will be some exceptions to uni
yersal peace. There are some people
who are naturally cross-gralned ano
the only way to be at peace with
them is to be wrong ourselves. A
minister told some time ago of an
official in his church who was al
ways opposed to everything brought
I'D in the church. He was partially
deaf, so upon one occasion the church
had up some question for discussion
and the cross-grained brother arose
and said, "Mr. Moderator, / can't heal
what it is you are discussing but
am agin il"
There are some suggestions I wish
to make looking to the cultivation OF
the fine art of living with other peo'
pie.
First Man is a social creature and
must live with others. By virtue Of
our constitution we must live with
other people. The selfish live is the
abnormal life. The secluded life is the
imperfect life. From the very begin
ming it was so designed. God said
ut is not good for man to be alone,
so a helpmeet was made for man.
am profoundly sorrow for all old
bachelors who are such because they
cannot help themselves and l hardly
have words to express my conviction
about those who are such from
choice. Every man sustains twofold
relation: to God and to his fellowmen
The Decalogue as given to Moses on
the Mount contains two tables; one
of these relates to our duty to God
and the orher to our duties to ouI
fellows. When the lawyer came to
Jesus inquiring as to the greates'
commandment, Jesus replied that the
first commandment is that which re-
uuires supreme love to God and the
second is like unto it-impartial love
to neighbor. Mans highest attain
ment can be reached only by social
coatact. We enrich others thus and
py this our own lives are enriched.
AS the plant is enriched by the soil
and the air and the sunshine, so our
lives are made better by the things
we receive from others.
Secondly, Only by social contact
can we render the service for which
we are capacitated. We serve, not
by seclusion, but by contact. If we
are to be the salt of the earth, which
the Master said we should be, we
must come into contact with the
world in order to preserve it from
corruption and death. If we ae to

be the light of the world, driving
i its darkness and disseminating light,
We must touch the world which is
to be enlightened. If we are to be the
leaven of the race, elevating and sane
tifying it, we must be placed in con-
tact with the entire lump. Thus OBJ
legation prepares adaptation. The
three great laws of life are service,
sacrifice and love. We serve only as
we make sacrifice and we sacrifice
only as we love. The secluded and eX-
cluded life is incapable of either of
these great laws.
Thirdly, We must think more OF
the rights of others if we are to prac-
tice the fine art Of living with others.
After all, it is generally selfishness
that causes trouble with others. They
either have something that we want
or they are in a position that we wish
to occupy or they have an influence
of which we are jealous. 1t is usually
when our personal dignity is offended
or our selfish desires crossed that the
clash with others comes. A due con-
sideration of the rights Of others will
lead us to think more of our obliga-
tions to others than of our own per-
sonal and selfish rights. We are all
too sensitive and often take offense
when none is intended. Think of the
sin of sensitiveness! Much of the
hard feeling in this world comes from
thoughtlessness on the part of some
body. In our indifference to the
Af ut
ten speak words and do deeds that
blight and burn. Very often We would
give the world almost if we could
recall the thoughless word or cancel
the thoughtless deed, but we cannot.
Finally, We must cultivate the
spirit of forgiveness If We are to
practice the fine art of living with
other people. Whether the pains in
flicted have been intentional or un-
Intentional, we shall constantly have
occasion to exercise the forgiving
spirit Without it the thoughtless and
unkind department of others will
cause perpetual disturbance and will
ultimately result in pessimism. We
must cultivate this spirit of forgive
ness, for without it our own pardon
becomes cancelled. For if we for
give not men their tresspasses neither
will your heavenly Father forgive
you" Then there are such beautiful
examples of forgiveness. There is
Joseph, who had been sold by his
brothers, freely forgiving and return
ing good for evil. There is Stephen,
being stoned to death, praying for
those who were so cruelty beating him
to death. There is Jesus upon the
cross, praying for those who drove
the cruel nails. Life will never be
what it should be to us until we
learn how to forgive.

at that. l asked him what he' would
take for half of it. He said $3.50.
told him l would not take it. In
few days l saw A. j. Matheson and
asked him what he would take FOL
half of it. He said 500. l told hin
I would take it. He fixed the deec
and l paid him $500, as they had il
in the deed. l gave the check on the
wrong bank by mistake, and had tc
change it. Once, Mr.. Matheson came
to my store twice in one day ano
asked if that was the drug store.
Will Evans testified that. he hao
worked with A. J. Matheson fol
about 90 years, and conducted store
for him four ydars before his death
He had his first stroke Feb. l, l9t1
Before then he was very bright. Be
fore the stroke he contracted with
those nd furnished, took securities
and made calculations. He KEEP
close up with the business. He
bought cotton and seed and visited
farms once a week. Afta rthe stroke
it was about two months before ne
got out. He was then physician!
broken down and his mind was no,
as alert as before. He would calI
wrong figures. He talked and trs L
ed with men in store as he did before
the stroke. The papers were fixeo
I'D at his officd He would tell me
the amounts of the liens. We all op:
Grated by his ideas. He controlled
all his business. We tried to stoI
him from going So much, but ne wen'
on, and died in harndss. He had
man in every department, but he SUI
perintended all his business.
James o. Breeden testified that the
A. ]. Matheson property around the
Planters bank was worth from 49,
900 to $4,000 in March 1918. In
the spring of 1918 he offered me a
vacant lot for $1,000 and the Sugar
store for $4,000 without the upper
story. About May Is, 1917, l saw
Mr.. .Matheson at Seven Springs, ~
c.. and took a ride with him and Mrs
Matheson. He could not express
himself well, and sometimes asked
Mrs. Matheson to help him express
himself. In the winter of 1917-1S,
I saw him and talked with him. He
failed to exprdss himself, and said ne
couldn't think. He never said any
silly or foolish things. l think
he understood what he was saying
and could superintend his business.
R. l.: Kirkwood testified that Mr..
Matheson did not sdem to under
stand business as well after his
stroke. / would rather not have
wanted him to divide my property.
would not say that he was not COM
petent to will his own property. He
sold us cotton seed cheaper than he
was buying them. I don't think ne
was competent to make will.
There have been several other
witnesses, including L. ]. Breeder,
G. B. Crosland, B. D. Moore, DR.. I.
H. Smith, c. D. Matheson and j. j.
Matheson. Thus far all the witness
es have beeh put up by the contest
tant's attorneys, except the three
witnesses to the will.

CITY PURCHASES La FRANCE
MOTOR FIRE OUTFIT

City council on Wednesday closed
contract with the American La
France Fire Engine company for
;ype Is, s cylinder. los horse power
motor fire car, 750 gallon pump which.
connects direct to fire hydrant, doing
away with running fire pumps at
pumping station as has been the GUS
tom during fire. The big truck N
addition to the pump will carry 700
feet of fire hose, ladders and all
equipment needed in fighting fire. In
other words it is a right up to date
outfit and will lessen the danger from
fire very materially. The purchase
also includes a chemical outfit but IN
stead of having it attached to the
truck it will be separately mounted
and in the event it is not sufficient
to handle the fire the other outfit Will!
be ready to put on the stream, which
is much better than having the chem
ical outfit on the regular truck. The
price paid is s11,5oc.
It is a remarkable coincidence that
the same company from which this
purchase is made built the old steam
fire engine Young john which did
so much noble service before the
water works system was installed.
The saale was made through the
Southern office at Atlanta which is
in charge of Mr.. L. M. Gosney and
Mr.. T. o. Stewart, Mr.. Stewart being
a resident Of our town though for
several years the live repre-
sentative Of the La France company.
The sale was made through the
80 days. The Herald and News is
glad council has made the, purchase.
It is a step that should have been
taken as we pointed out some time
ago. Newberry has a very efficient
volunteer fire service and the boys
should be encouraged by having the
very best outfit with which to fight
fires.

AUTolNc AS IT IS WRIT

On last Sunday while the cars were passing, some one way and some another, the dust forging into the houses, as we were fixing to go to the New Era Conference, made it bad on people who live very close to the road. As the sound of one car would pass away another one would come in hearing. Just be- fore got ready to start l heard a strang buzz of one; knew it was car, but it sounded different from any yet. You could hear blanks skipping together, the squeak of machinery, the deep buzz of the en- zine. could see the great fog of dust down the road. Finally the small rock a..d gravel began to fall on our house and in the yard like hail. @Once in while T piece of the engine and pieces of rubber would strike My wife began to get nervous, wanted to go into the storm house. I told her I believed it was a car coming. About that time 3 larger piece struck the window ; l iasde her worse, aur 1 contend- ed that it was a cal, and told her if it was one it must be George Tid- well. Abcu. that time he came D. ;he t me he co Il speeak te vas passing Artie's, one half mile west of us. Artie thought he was speaking to him. Cyclone Cores pondent Adamsville (Tenn.) Enter prise.

feel that I am just as much inter- ested in you today as I was two years ago when from my window in the Red Cross workrooms, and at the Depot, with tears in my eyes, and lump in my throat I watched you proudly march away to the mus ic of "Over There," played by our splendid Marianna Band. And great credit Is due to all the members of our Marianna Band, for not one sol dier Boy left Marianna-white or colored-that was not headed by the
 Band until so many of the members of the Band had answered their country's call, only few were left, but that few remained faithful to the end. We people of Lee county have surely been blessed. Out of the very large number of our splen- did men that were called, most all
 have been spared to return to home and loved ones, and we must not for get to give honor to whom honor is due. Gods guiding hand was very evident with our boys, for it was God that was guiding our American Army because we were fighting for
 principles of justice. We are all so over joyed to have you with us
 again. We have so much to be thankful for. We are so richly bless ed, and in conclusion Boys, I want to help you all can. I am ready
 to serve you just as faithfully as I was at the beginning of our dark days. No doubt many things you do not understand, and I want to help you. l have been appointed by R. G. Cholinely Jones, Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to as- sist you. Perhaps you do not know that you may still carry your War Risk Insurance for five years after the declaration of peace at the low government terms; that at any time within the period of five years, you can change your policy to any one of the several forms of new per- manent insurance issued by the gov ernment at correspondingly low rate, and 1 want to urge all service men in Lee county to keep their | premiums paid up, and if any of you have neglected to pay your pre- miums come in to see me at once and let me send in reinstatement application for you.
 To all the Boys desiring to con- vert or change their insurance to one of the permanent forms of gov ernment insurance, come to see me, as 1 have supply of conversion blanks on hand and rate books giv- ing information and rates on all | forms of insurance issued.
 When in doubt about what to do. if there is sickness or any distress in your family, always remember to call on your Red Cross where you will always find welcome, and a | kind word, and an ever extended l hand to help you in your troubles. And as we all descend the evening slopes of life, let the subject of our existence be radiant with kind deeds to others, and let us cement the
 friendships that the troubled days of this war have fostered, and treas ure them as bits of gold.
