ing too good.
Besides his job, said James
Lynch, county attorney, he ran
a small loan business, letting out
money to fellow workers and CPL
lecting interest and principal pn
paydays..
Then he represented a jewelry
firm which supplied railroad
watches. That was all right, but
said Lynch:
In making a loan, he got ito
asking the borrower. to sign. a
note, which in realty turned out
also to be an order for a watch.
With that, he'd get the watch.

the timepiece.
The jeweler,. under agreement
with the railroad, received pay
ment through small periodical
salary deductions. This. went on,
Lynch said, until one employe
complained of a deduction and
police subsequently found 40
watches at the pawn shop.
Kanar's enterprise cost him a
sentence in district court today
of $500 or 80 days in Jail for vio-
. lating the state small loan law.

Three German and nine Italian
freighters were lying quietly in the
Panuco river and Tampico harbor

dence of loading activity such as

While the II ships were loading

The weekly echo. (Meridian, Miss.) 1931-1942, 1940-05-10

Habakkuk 21. l will stand upon my
i watch, and set me upon the tower, and
will look forth to see what he will
speak with me, and what shall answer
concerning my compliant
2. And Jehovah answered me, and
said, Write the vision, and make it plain
upon tablets, that he may run that
readeth it.
3. For the vision is yet for the ap-
pointed time, and it hasteth toward
the end, and shall not lie: though it
larry, wait for it; because it will surely
come, it will not delay.
A. Behold, his soul is puffed up, it
is not upright in HIM; but the righteous
shall live by his faith.
"Habakkuk has been called the pro-
phet of faith He possessed a strong,
living faith in jehovah but he. like
many other pious souls, was troubled
and perplexed by the apparent inequali
lies of life. He found it difficult to
reconcile these with his lofty conception
of Jehovah, who points the way to the
solution, and the prophet comes forth
from his trouble with faith stronger
and more intense than ever. It is in
connection with his attempts to solve
the perplexng problems raised by the
sins of his countrymen and
that Habakkuk gives utterance to two
the unlimited success of the Chaldean
sublime truths: Jehovah is interested
not only in Israel. Though Habakkuk,
like other prophets, believes in a special

divine providence over Israel, he is e.
oually convinced that Jehovah's RUE
embraces the whole earth; the destinies
of all the nations are in his hand.
ca The second important truth is
expressed in "a the righteous shall
live by his faith Gaithfulness' Faith
fulness assure permanency. A living
faith determines conduct; religion and
ethics 90 hand in hand; and especially
in the hour of adversely. Faith without
works is dead"

10 quiet crying babies into silence by eE-
I'll send you to Mississippi.
Thus one can easily see that in my ma
tive section, this part of the south has
never been honestly portrayed or given
q chance to stand on its own merits
in the face of unbiased criticism.
It seems to me that Meridian is "the
city of tomorrow" for Intelligent people.
There is a splendid race relationship
here for this part of the country Hid
eous treatments do perhaps occur but
not in the frequency one would think
after having read a northern news
paper. 1t is a growing city with unli-
mited room for business enterprises.
But it does not hasten to grow, how
ever, it seems to take its own time in
developing-a sort of a planned growth.
This growth does not seem to be OBJ
sessed by efficiency, punctuality and
the desire for achievement and sue
s.
cess that other northern cities have. AS
Lin Yutang writes in The Importance
of Living, They are the things that
make the Americans so unhappy and
so nervous. They steal from them their
inalienable right of loafing and cheat
them of many a good, idle and beauti-
full afternoon ....... Our quar-
rel with efficiency is not that it gets
things done, but that it is a thief of
time when it leaves US no leisure to
enjoy ourselves and that it trays our
nerves in trying to get things done
perfectly" I find that people here are
like the Chinese in that they are ex-
tremely punctual, provided you give
them plenty of time to do thing
''They will always finish a thing on
schedule provided the schedule is long
enough"
Another thing that impresses me a
bout Meridian is the friendliness Of the
inhabitants. I am told that that is a
particular congenial habit Of the whole
south. THAT habit of speaking whether
you know the person or not. This
whole idea grips me into thinking that
we are all a part Of q great family In
my section, people do not have that
art Of conversation because of the
tempo of their lives With the apart
