We BOaV to
InSistent Public
Demand

Every new Woco Pep
Station is an effort on our
part to keep pace with in
sistent public demand.
Although barely a week
passes unmarked by the
opening of a new Woco-
Pep Station, still we lag
behind. Never has SUI
perior quality won greater
public acclaim.
Five years ago there were
only nine Woco-Pep Sta
tions in Georgia; today
eighty-three service sta
tons are operated by this
company.
More stations are being
started and being opened
as fast as we can obtain
suitable sites and COM
plete construction.
This new station, now an
nounced, is just another
sim of the onward march
OF Woco-Pep to motor
fuel supremacy; added
evidence Of the quality of
Tiolene Motor Oil; fur
ther indication of the
goodness of Purol Case
line and Woco Chatter

conclusive proof that the
aim of the Wofford Oil
Company of Georgia to
render the highest type of
service is appreciated by
it's customers.

SERMON ON STEWARDSHIP
Fourth of a Series Preached by
Rev. w. 3. Brock.

Malachi $40: Bring We all the
tithes into the storehouse, that there
may be meat in mine house; and prove
me herewith, saith the Lord, if l will
not open you the windows of heaven,
and pour you out blessing that there
shall not be room enough to receive it..
Using the above as the basis of his
Sunday morning discourse in the
Garrett Memorial Presbyterian church
in Oakland on August 2Sth, Rev. Wal
ter B. Block, pastor, preached the
fourth of series of five sermons on
the five essentials of Christian liv-
ing: Worship; Bible Study; Prayer;
Stewardship. The fifth of the series,
Service, was preached Sunday morn
ing of this week.
"The two principles of Christian liv-
ing which we have been studying last
Sunday and this" said the speaker,
care intimately related. Christian
prayer and Christian stewardship can
not be separated: we must pray in
order to be able to give; and we must
give in order To pray effectively.
GIN the tenth chapter Of the Book
of Acts we read the story of Corne-
Illus, said to be the first Gentle con-
vert to Christianity. An angel ap-
peared to this Roman captain and
said, Cornelius, your prayers and
your aims have risen before Cod 1t
is as true of US as of Cronelius-our
gifts are the wings of life which
carry our petitions up to the very
throne Of God.
slave you ever had the experience
which | have had of struggling in
prayer, striving to hurl my petitions
upward toward heaven only to feel
them fall back like leaden weights to
earth? Why is it that sometimes our
prayers are lifeless and meaningless?
Well, there are a number of reasons,
but l will tell you the chief one-it
is possible only for giver to get into
harmony with the Eternal Giver of
every good and perfect gift. When
we share with others, we become like
God; when we serve our fellowmen
we become like Him who came not to
be ministered unto but to minister,
and to give His life a ransom for
many; the current of our life flows in
the Divine channel; our heart pulses
in the rythm of the Cosmic Heart; we
are in tune with the Infinite, and our
little lives thrill through and through
with the Divine life.
"Giving is itself form of prayer,
and only the prayer of giver reaches
the throne of the Infinite Giver and
comes back freighted with blessing;
for giving is love in action. God is
love, and he that abideth in love abid-

for others invariably returns to us
with multiplied blessings. The evil
that we do-whether in the form of
active injury or mere passive indiffer-
ence to the cry of another's need
inexorably comes back to curse our
souls.
"The penalty of selfishness is death.
Do you know why the Dead Sea is
dead? Because it is always receiving
and never giving out.
Intelligent business men are be-
ginning to understand this. That is
why, a few months ago, we read the
astonishing news that fourteen prom
inent citizens of San Francisco have
combined to organize a S100,000,000
corporation for the sole purpose of
furthering philanthropic and educa-
tional projects along lines similar to
the Rockefeller and Russell Sage
Foundations.
Stewardship is the needles eye
by which those who have riches may
enter the Kingdom of Heaven
wealth invested in human welfare
becomes a golden ladder by which it's
possessor mounts to the very throne
of God. But wealth, selfshly grasped,
is weight that drags us down to
he'll, like Silas Mariners heavy bag of
gold found clutched in the fist of a
skeleton at the bottom of the mill
pond.
Imagine a rose that would say to
itself, 4 cannot afford to give away
my sweetness; l must save it for my
self; l will close my petals and with
hold my fragrance But, 10! the mo-
ment the rose tries to store up its
treasures of color and fragrance to
withhold them from others they van
ish. These qualities do not exist in
the unopened bud. 1t is only when the
rose begins to unfold, to share its
sweetness, it's life, with others, that
its beauty and fragrance are devel-
oped.
$50 human selfshness defeats its
own ends. He who refuses to give
himself to others, who closes the
petals Of his charity and withholds the
fragrance of his sympathy and love,
finds that he-loses the very thing he
tries to keep.
"'He that saveth his life shall lose
it; but he that loseth his life, for
Christ's sake, shall save it,"

eth in God and God abideth in him.
"a selfish man cannot commune
with God; for love is the divine Ian
guage, and only he who speaks Gods
language can hear Gods voice.
"The Ancient Mariner looked over
the side of his boat becalmed like
painted ship upon painted sea. He
saw the water snakes and he recoiled
in horror and loathing from these
Shiny things upon a Shiny sea. He
looked to heaven and tried to pray,
but his heart was as dry as dust.
Again he watched the water snakes,
leaving trails of golden fire in the
black deep as they coiled and swan.
How beautiful. % happy living
things he cried. A spring of love
gushed from his heart, and he blessed
them unaware. He looked upon these
creatures now as the loving Creator
looks upon all His creatures. And
he knelt down and prayed, for he
touched Gods hand in the dark.
"'He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth US,
He made and loveth ALL
"Love is the language of prayer
And giving is the test, the acid test,
of the genuineness of love. God so
loved the world that He gave His Son
to die for US. If our love is genuine
it will express itself in giving, un-
stinted, sacrificial, Godhke giving.
"This is the explanation, believe,
of the unanimous testimony of tithers
that they get more joy, more down.
right satisfaction out of the money
they give away than from all the
money they spend upon their own

"Not long ago, in a meeting of the
executive committee of the new Boy
Scout council in Cumberland, which
we organized this year with an an
nual budget of five thousand to six
thousand dollars, 1 heard banker,
who, 1 believe, is the wealthiest man
in Cumberland, make this remark:
Say, I'm getting the biggest kick out
of this thing that I've had in many
years. That was his way of saying
what Lowell has expressed in more
classic form:
"'He is dead whose hand is not open

From the Days of the German Revolution.

The Berlin workers recently had grim reminder
of the. days of the Noske counter revolutionary
terror in 1919 when thousands of workers were
executed by order of Noske, the social democratic
poios chief who directed the job of smashing the
revolutionary movement of the masses when the
reformists, the VOLS and Greene of that period,
stepped in to the rule of the bourgeoisie.
In the course of excavations for new car line
in Berlin, workmen recently unearthed number
of skeletons, together with fragments of cloth and
buttons from naval uniforms. The presence of
bullet-holes through the skulls of the skeletons
taken in conjunction with that is known of the his
tory of these days, is considered clear indication
that these the victims of of the mass exc
cutions of revolutionary soldiers and sailors carried
on by the monarchist officers whom the workers
had disarmed, and Noske and his other social demo-
cratic friends had armed again.
AS soon as the discovery was made public a
number of witnesses appeared, people whose fathers
and brothers and sons had disappeared during the
days of the Noske terror without leaving any trace
Others who had been present at the execution have
placed themselves at the disposal of the German
Communist Party, to help in getting the truth be-
fore the workers of Germany. Every day men who
were in the navy at that time have been coming
into the offices of the Rote Fahne to describe the
murder of their comrades In 1918-1919 the sailors

This latest reminder of the treachery of the Ger
social democrats to the cause of the working
class has not helped to increase the credit of social
democracy with the German workers

SALVAGE WORK
OF SUNKEN SUB
HALTED BY WIND

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, Dec. 27 F)
Work on the second tunnel under
the sunken submarine S4 was halted
late today when strong southwest
wind and choppy sea forced navy
divers to suspend operations for the
day.
six divers working in relays de-
scended during the day and half com
pleted the second tunnel, located about
10 feet forward of the S-4's gun.
It is the intention of the salvage
officers to seal the hole made by the
coast guard destroyer Spnulding in
the submarines hull and pump out the
boat with compressed air. Commander
Harold E. Saunders, a submarine con-
struction expert from the Portsmouth
navy yard, who will supervise this
phase of the work, spent the day and
part Of, tonight studying the interior
of the So, sister ship of the sunken
submarine.
The first diver to descend today
brought with him the two large signs
lettered: "This way forward" and ''this
way aft" and fixed them to the S-4s
deck. These signs, the idea OF Com
mander Ellsberg, are to guide the div
ers who love their sense of direction In
the low visibility on the ocean floor.

LIGHTS
WILL LIGHT TREE
UNTIL IT is 1928

With vari-colored lights shining in
the natural shrubbery and strands
of light swinging from the lower
branches to the topmost peak, the
Christmas tree decorations in the
park by the churches between 10th
and 18th streets has been source
of much pleasure to people who
travel those streets during the last
few days and will continue to be a
pleasure until after the New Year
has made its bow. The tree is one
of the public services Of the Arizona
Edison company that it contributes
without charge, including all the work
of placing and removing the decora-
tionS and the electric juice necessary
for lighting the bulbs. The COM
pany'S manager, j. P. Sexton, takes
keen personal delight in having
the Christmas tree in the park each
year as it affords the children of
the city a real suggestion of the
Christmas time. At the top OF the
tree is a bright star which blazes
forth each night and unlike the lights
in the business places and the homes,
the public Christmas tree blazes in
its glory all night
