Oglethorpe Star Sprns
Big Professional Offer

Marion Anderson. son of the base
ball coach at Oglethorpe, has declined
an offer to play professional baseball
with Cleveland in the American
league. Marion said he had refused
to sign, as Cleveland wants him TO
report at once. Marion is senior at
Oglethorpe and does not choose TO
leave school before receiving his d.
ploma. If the offer still holds good
after Marion's graduation, he no
doubt will accept the offer, it was
stated.
Marion is a great second baseman,
having played this position three
years for the Petrels. In the series
with Georgia Tech Marion was big
thorn in the Yellow Jackets side. In
the first game of the series Marion
hit a home run, which tied the score
for the Petrels.

Sunday, December l, was herald
ed as Anniversary Day. The church
school, although it was Missionary
Day, was for some reason poorly at
tended. The program as prepared
was rendered and the singing by the
New Market Church quartet was
fine. The address by the pastor was
timely and to the point and those
who heard him are convinced that
he was on the right path. Get to-
gether, was his theme and among
other things he said, No church
would ever be successful until the
membership was as a unit for those
things which stands for and makes
a united and progressive church.
The evening service consisting of
the Epworth League, Mrs. Chester
Dickerson, leader, rendered a pro-
gram which was pleasing. The solo
by Miss Coverdale and singing by
the New Market quartet was fine.
The sermon by the pastor which
followed was very appropriate for
the occasion.
The new heating plant which has
lust been installed in the M. Il.
Church seems to be up to date in
every respect. Sunday which was
cold day, found the heater perform
ing its part in very satisfactor!
manner, keeping the church fully
warm at all times. Again we thank
E. F. Whitney, formerly of this place
but now residing in Syracuse, N. Y,
for this most needed gift.

BrOadcasting Services

BrOadcaSting Services
The New York Federation of
Churches have been broadcasting
through seventeen radio stations,
the morning devotions, consisting of
reading of the scriptures, singing
and prayer, accompanied by the
Lords Prayer. All denominations
except one or two take a part in
these exercises. You have the pleas
ure of listening to different min
lister each day of the week, except
Sunday. The singing by quartet is
really fine, and when they break
forth in the old songs, such as our
mothers and fathers used to sing in
the long ago, it awakens memories
we thought dead, and takes us back
to our childhood days when we en-
joyed the comforts of the old home
stead. In a vision We can see our
old mother as she went about her
daily household duties, singing the
same old tunes which we will hear
each morning as we listen to the
radio. Something like this service
would awaken the conscience of the
wayward girl or boy, who has long
ago forgotten the things which
bound them to their younger days
and may stay their downward
course and will cause them to stop
and think before proceeding further
in their mad career.
To the mother and father who
arise of a morning feeling all out of
sorts and looking at the day as an
other full of sorrow; if they will
listen at this beautiful service sor-
row will disappear and the day will
look brighter and things in general
will have a more hopeful look.
If you wish to hear this service
tune in and get WEAF, New York,
and hear something grand and real
ly it is a perfect antedote for the
blues. The morning devotions COM
mence at S:15 a. m. each day of the
week except Sunday.
We wish every home in this land
of ours contained a radio and that
it be so arranged to break forth
each morning with this service. We
are persuaded to believe that much
of the disagreement existing in
homes, would disappear and the
morning greetings would be smile
instead of frown.
Thanksgiving Day Of Years Ago
The writer has let his mind run |
back to the days when he was boy |
and under the guiding hand of a
mother and father who at all times
respected the church and what it
stood for.
In those days Thanksgiving Day
was religiously kept by the people
who assembled themselves together
in the different places of worship
and there gave thanks to the Great
Ruler of the universe for the great
amount of good things which He has
showered on them.
It is true in those days, many men
spent the day in riotuous living,
giving no thought of the sacredness
Milford chronicle., 1929-12-06

in which the day should be kept,
but spent their time in gambling
and engaging in other things which
is contrary to the divine will of the
Master.
How is Thanksgiving Day kept at
the present time? De we hear the
church bell ringing in every village,
calling people to worship? We are
sorry to say that we do not, and
only in the larger cities and towns
do we hear them at all; then four or
five churches band themselves to-
gether to get enough people to hold
a slimly attended service.
] The people have run wild in their
efforts to drink more deeply of what
the world has to give; they forget
to Whom they owe for their very
being, for health and strength, for
daily food, for rainment to wear
and thousands of other things that
can come from no other source than
from Him Who reigns above.
People in these days seem to for
get to Whom thanks is due and
spend their time in feasts, cunning
and many other kinds of sports
which detracts their mind from the
real meaning of the day which
should be for thanks; yes, humble
thanks for the bountiful supply of
things which we are constantly re-
ceiving.
AS this Thanksgiving Day has
passed let us hope that the people
will awaken to the Importance of
keeping it more sacredly in the fu-
ture and when another Thanksgiv-
ing Day shall roll around may we
hear bells ringing from every
church steeple in the land and peo-
pie of every creed marching to the
sanctuaries and there give to Him
Who so richly deserves it, the
thanks of a people who believes inn
plicity in God and His Christ.
