AA SAi' Was Ltt
principal speaker at Rotary's
luncheon Wednesday in the hotel.
HIS subject, selected by Program
Chairman Carr Glover, was "a
Mans Responsibility to His God,
His Fellowman and His Commun-
ity." The inspiring message was
greeted.
Frank Harold introduced a reso.
luton, thanking "the Central o.
Georgia Railway for the splendid
service during the past few months
IN the operation of the two daily
trains, the Dixie Limited and the
Dixie Flyer" expressing the belief
that these two trains had proven OF
great value to Americas. The text
of the resolution which was ungni-
mously adopted, is as follows:
The Americas Rotary Club
hereby extends its thanks to the
Central of Georgia Railway Com
pany for the splendid service
given Americas during the past
few months in the operation Of
the two day light trains the Flori
dan and the Dixie Limited.
We believe these trains have
proven of great value to this
section as it is the first time the
northern tourist has had an OPP
portunity to have day light
ride through this the garden spot
section of Georgia and we be-
lieve will result in many of them
locating in this part of the state.
We wish further to state that
the names of these trains have
become by words with our peo-
pie and have grown to be their
favorites in their travels.
1t is with keen regret that we
see they have been discontinued
and it is the earnest wish not
only Of this club, but we"are sure
of every person in this section,
that they soon be restored ana
if possible made year round
trains and not just for few
months.
President Rylander announced
an addition to the general program
committee Frank Sheffield, Jr.,
Lee Hansford and W. G. Turpin,
They serve for the year under Cobt
Miner, chairman.
Among guests present were J.
c. Maness, of the state board of
entomology; Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach
weevil authority, who spoke to the
club; L. w. Brown, of Americas.
George o. Marshall, county demon
strator; Rev. A. w. Qptllian, of
Madison; J. F. Ressman, of Chica-
go; Carr Glover, Jr. and Rev. John
Cutler.
Among the many pertinent
thoughts contained in DR.. Cutler :
address were the following;
MANS Responsibility to his God
his fellowman and his community
an this we have the spiritual, So
cial, and civic duties of man. No
man liveth unto himself, or dieth
unto himself.
by nature man is a worshipper
His natural inclinations are Soc
able. His self preservation is de-
termined by his attitude toward his
fellow man.
"No man is complete until he
has established proper relation with
his God.
"a mans higher nature devel-
ops more satisfactory and more
rapidly with proper relationships
existing between him and his fel-
low man.
You can't help your-fellownan
unless you know him, you cannon
know him unless you associate
with him, and your own nature can
not develop under a selfish, cynical
ploof spirit. Make it a rule toslivo
in the House by the side of the
Road.
Il do not desire to convey the
idea that l am advocating a kind
of hail fellow well met, without
standards, convictions, and concep-
lions of right relationships, bat
when you have fully appreciated
your responsibility to your fellow
man, you will use your personality
to help him see as you do.
Until a man feels his responsi-
bility to his community, he is in
grave danger.
HE faces selfishness, censorious
ness; he will become unsympathet-
ic, he will grow misery, niggardly
narrow.
"The ten talented man, is as q
rock in a weary land, or a shelter
in the time Of a storm.
make your contribution TOWARD
a better citizenry, for higher NOR
ais, for purer ideals
DR.. Cutler declared, in conclu-
sion, that the community has the
right to demand a part of a man:
time. of his interests, of his means
