VIII Rogers has said, Everybody is
isnorant about something" Somebody
ase has said, Everybody is crazy about
9mething." | know Will is right, and
l am persuaded to believe that every
body is more or less crazy. In other
words, no one is absolutely perfect men
tally. When man fell he became i'm
perfect physically, mentally, and spir-
tually. The only absolutely perfect
person the world ever saw was Jesus
Christ. He had perfect poise, and all
Of the noble qualities were well bal
anced in His personality.
Waves of insanity sweep the world.
A few years ago everybody, rich and
poor, educated and uneducated, went
crazy about Florida real estate boom.
Later representative citizens and lowly
citizens of all communities went insane
about the Wall Street boom. Anybody
with any sense at all should have known
that the Wall Street balloon would burst.
Man always has been crazy. The world
reached its highest culture in Greece,
but man did not have enough sense to
save that civilization. Capital in this
country is selfish. Labor is selfish.
Both crowds are crazy
The latest craze is the religious craze
Preachers are letting rattlesnakes bite
them in the pulpit. If the devil can't
freeze us to death he tries to burn US
up with fanaticism. Everybody knows
that the cold scholastic modernistic
movement has emptied the churches and
wrecked the faith of multiplied thous-
ands in this nation. Modernism has fail
ed. Now, in the midst of the distress and
unrest of this disorganized age when
people are feeling after God, wave of
wild religious fanaticism seems to be
sweeping over US. God give us people
that stay in the middle of the road,
people with trained minds and warm
hearts. If we over develop the head
and undervelop the heart, we become
scientific and cold. If we over de-
velop the heart and under develop the
head, we become wild religious fanatics.
1t is unscriptural for a man to let a
rattlesnake bite him as demonstra-
tion. Paul did not pick up viper to
show the people around him that he was
too good to be poisoned. The viper bit
him and God took care of him. but Paul
was not making a demonstration. Paul
was In the line of duty. He was help
ing build Il fire. He was not hunting
snakes, he was hunting sticks. The dew
IL told Jesus to cast himself from the
temple and make a spectacle of him
self. Jesus said, in substance, that
that would be tempting God | tell my
boys and girls in the Bob Jones College
that If duty calls them under a tree
when storm comes to go under the
tree and ask God to take care of them. |
II 1t Is His will He will do it. No one
mas right to go under a tree in a
storm unless duty calls him there. If
duty calls man into a den of rattle
snakes, then he should go if he knew
that every rattlesnake in the den should
bite him and that death was inevitable. |
A man who demonstrates, as certain
man did recently, that rattlesnake
won't hurt him is a religious maniac. He !
is suffering from religious ego mania.
In other words, he is suffering from re-
ligious 'big head"

r EAvE it to "AI Weather" Jack
McCarron, the human golfing
machine Of Congressional, to
spring something new on the
lads. McCarron. who received his
"all-weather" cognomen from Sandy
Armour when he played for AZ con-
secutive days in fair weather and
foul during the Winter of 1928,
has just accomplished q stunt which
so far as we know never has been
done before around the Capital.
Jack played 10 straight holes with
only IL puts, and for q stretch Of
six holes in a row he used but four
puts altogether. holing two shots
from of the green during this run
He played 10 holes in level par, which
isn't so hot considering the way he
was knocking the ball into the hole,
but then there are lots Of men better
from tee to green than McCarron.
1t Is when he gets around the green
that he burns EN- up.
Jack started ct the tenth In ordi-
nary fashion. getting down in two
puts and having two more puts on
the eleventh. But he got down in q
single putt for o bird Q at the twelfth
and bsgged another bird with single
putt at the thirteenth. A 4 followed
at the par 3 fourteenth, but then
Jack got back In his stride again and
had . single on the next hole. At
the next he chipped into the cup for
a par and then he played the short
1871 hole. Here he Clipped In again
for . par 8. Two puts each came on
the seventeenth and eighteenth, but
Jim Maloney did the miracle stuff at
the eighteenth, chipping in himself
from on the green for q birdie 3.

early in October will stage its title

dates for Fall event at the annual
meeting of the District Golf Associa-

has been made on the tourney and
