ing, held in the South Eighth Street
Friends church.
Prof. Allen D. Hole. chairman Of the
board. said Friday that the board
hopes to end the sessions Friday
night. Approximate figures of the
total amount of the combined bud
gets have not been announced. The
reason for this was given by Mr.. Hole.
Even after we agree upon the
amounts for each board, it does not
indicate that the SUM is completely
settled upon. We act more nearly in
the capacity of an advisory board, and
the years budget for any board of the
Five years meeting, depends upon
whether it is satisfactory to the year
ly meetings. Each yearly meeting
will take action upon the budgets rec
commended before it actually becomes
the definite budget for the year. An.
nouncement of the combined amount
to be the goal for the united finan
cial campaign of the Forward move
ment during 1921, will not be made
public until yearly meetings of the
Five years meeting takes action"
Every yearly meeting in the Five
years meeting was represented, di
rectly or indirectly, at the board meet
ing Friday morning. Between 25 and
80 persons were present.

"cARE FOR BIRDS" URGES
w. z. MOORE, WEATHERMAI

Weatherman Moore today urged the
citizens of Richmond to feed the birds
during the winter months.
He suggests hanging or mailing a
piece of suet to tree or pole for birds
food. This is the best, he said, as the
fat of the suet will keep the birds
warm. Bread crums are also well ap-
preciated by the birds. he declares.

DISENCHANTED EGOTISM
BY DR.JAMES L. VANCE.

1T IS a bad thing to get discourag-
ed. 1t throws life's machinery out
of gear. The heart is depressed, the
brain confused, the judgment STAN
peded, and the will short-circuited.
Encouragement results in a paraly-
sis of effort. The perspective is spoil
ed, initiative is put out of business,
and success made forlorn hope. No
cause can win with discouraged ad-
herents. Even God Himself, it would
seem, can do nothing through dis
couraged man.
What causes encouragement? Not
necessarily the circumstances, be-
cause worse circumstances have been
faced with courage, and darkness
has yielded to dawn. The trouble with
discouraged man is that he has be-
come self-centered.
He is an egotist. He has banked on
himself. He has thought himself to
be something when he is nothing, and
he has deceived himself. He has had
foolish confidence in his own pow
ers to put things across. Coddling
his self-esteem, patting his pride,
feeding his sense of self-importance,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-09-26

he has felt that he can stafid where
other men have fallen, he can sue
coed where others have failed, and
achieve what common men have not
been able to accomplish. He is a su-
perman.
Then he has found himself out.
The mask has been torn off. His
pride has been punctured, his conceit
has collapsed. He has shrivelled up
and dwindled down and found that he
could stumble and blunder and fail
like common mOrtals. Under the
binding terror of that discovery he
has lost his nerve. He has become a
discouraged man. This it what dis
enlargement ". 1t is egotism olsen
chanted.
The cure is faith in God. Take your
eyes off your disabilities, off your
liabilities, off your difficulties and
look up. God has CARED bigger bur
dens than yours You will not break
down the Almighty. He is your
Friend, and because He is, "AlPs
well, all's we'll" I can do all things
through Christ which strengthened
me-" Therefore, up and at it again.

CONQUER YOUR

said she was "over it in a minute"
Billy remarked: $50 is a Calling

We keep out of the way of the

we try to.
1t isn't pleasant to be "blown to
pieces" as most of US know by I'M
pleasant experiences.
like to hear man say of his
motor car: 81 have it under complete
control. Does this mean that it won't
go? Decidedly not. 1t means that it
will travel easily at its highest speed
without any likelihood of an accident
that it will do exactly what is re-
quired of it and do it without eff
fort.
Temper is all right but it should
be under control
