Gods Ideal Or Human Life.

God will never stretch the line of
our duty beyond the measure of our
strength. We ought to live with the
grace of the flowers, with the JOY of
birds, with the freedom Of wind and
wave Without question, this is Gods
ideal of human life. We are expect
ed to do no more than we do with the
time granted us, with the tools, the
material, and the opportunity at our
disposal. We serve no Egyptian
taskmaster who watches to double the
tale of bricks, but a generous Lord
who waits to make our duty our de-
ight.-Selected.

children who wished, to be vaccinated
for typhoid fever, at the expense of
the State. Many pupils took adj
vantage of this and were vacanateo

officer.
The chapel exercises last Wednes-
day were conducted by Rev. Rolanc
10. Leavell. We were favored with
piano solo by Miss Emma Grace
| Johnson.
The 0. H. S. base ball team was
very highly entertained and also
beaten by the Grenada High Schoo
team Thursday and Friday, April q
and %. These were the best games
of the season because 0. H. S. show
ed what they had and how clean they
could play.
First game: Lefty" Johnsor
twirled an excellent game, allow
ing only five hits and he scored -9r
strike-outs. "Baby" Hume featured
| in his fielding and batting. Going
to the bat five times, he succeeded IL
reaching first five times. "Babf
Ruth" Lamar didn't fail with hi
home run, scoring Hume from first
The final counting was s to 7 in G
H. SIS favor,
Second game: Although Nets die
not have the advantage of "south
paw" he pitched fine game, strik
ing out ten men and allowing nint
hits. During several periods of the
game he was not given the supper
he deserved. This was accounted fol
because the field was very slow owing
to the rain which fell about noon.
When the last G. Fl. S. player wa:
extinguished the score stood to 4 il
their favor.

CMuvch Notes and Comments
HrS. ., r. ( aiiowfy.

BLESSED are the pure in heart; fol
they shall see God. Matt SIS.
What we see shows what we are
One person reads a book and finds il
full Of improper illusions and sug-
gestions. while to another it is sweet
and innocent. Evil within blinds the
eyes to good.
Only the pure in heart can see Him
who is all purity.
Christ's enemies in their mockery
stumbled on the sublimest truth. Fol-
when they said, He saved others
himself ne cannot save" they eX-
pressed a universal truth. We must
always choose between saving others
and ourselves. No one can do both.
The Philosophers Stone.
We know considerable about the
mind of another by what he loves and
admires Ones own weaknesses often
warp our estimate of those about US.
One who sees little that is good In
humanity has little good in himself.
The nature that is loyal and loving,
finds love and loyalty everywhere.
Goodness, like the tabled philosophers
stone. turns all to gold.
Don't forget to pray for and plan
to attend the County, Sunday School
Association. Watch this column
later.
Sunday School Day was enjoyed by
a large congregation at the NJ. L.
church Sunday.
Each department seemed to vie WIN
the other in putting on programs OF
interest and enjoyment. The PHI
maries and Juniors presided over by
Nesdames Steinbeck and turr ana
their respective teacers were especial
ly good.
The Intermediates and adults made
themselves felt however.
All who are interested in building
up the Camp Ground are requested
to meet in the rest room Of the Bank
of Oxford Saturday afternoon at z
30 to discuss ways and means. Both

HARDING MAY ASK
PEOPLE TO BACK
RAILLABOR BOARD
President Is Confident
Nation Will r ally in
Support of Decision.

President Harding Is confident the
American people will rally to the
support Of the Railway Labor Board
II the railroad brotherhoods persist
in striking In defiance Of that body.
II Is not unlikely. it transpires.
that the President will address an
appeal to the people to uphold the
authority Of the new agency designed
to put an end to the arrangement
of transportation by strikes.
The Railway Labor Board lacks
authority under the transportation act
to enforce its decisions. but Con-
gress entertained the hope that the
force Of public opinion would be suf-
ficient to deter a union from strik-
ing in defiance of a settlement pro-
claimed by the board after full
and fair investigation of the merits
of the dispute. II the impending
strike should prove a failure because
of public condemnation. the result
would &C far toward establishing the
authority Of the board and prevent
ing future strikes against its deci-
sions.
Senator Cummfns discussed the sit
uation with the President Saturday
night
Il do not see that the situation
II changed in any important re-
spect," said the Senator Sunday night.
but I still think there VIII be no
strike. II the men do go out. the
government. Of course, will deal Wig
orously with the situation In the
interest OF the whole people"
That President Harding and the
Interstate Commerce Commission are
now in accord on the question OF
rate reductions Is the significant con-
clusion drawn from the decision of
the Commission In declaring rates
on grain. grain products and hay
between points in the Western and
mountain-Paciic groups to be un-
reasonable.
Grain Decision Cuts Revenue.
The importance of the grain rate
decision. which, IL 10 unofficially es-
timated, may reduce the revenues
of the railroads SIS. ooO.00o to $780,
100000 annually. lies in the fact
that the commission therein SUD-
scribes ,whole-heartedly to the
Harding view On railway rates and
operating costs.
In his address to the Congress
April IL, President Harding de-
clared:
NO Improvement will be perma-
nent until the railways are oper-
ated efficiently at a cost within
that which the traffic can bear.
IF we can have II understood
that Congress has no sanction for
government ownership. that Con-
gress does not levy taxes upon the
people to cover deficits IN a service
which should be self-sustaining,
there will be an avowed foundation
on which to rebuild.
