PRACTICAL ATHEISM


PRACTICAL ATHEISM
THE wicked, through the pride
of his countenance, will not seek
after God. God is not in all his
thoughts. Psalm 10:4.
Few people would say deep In
their hearts, There is no Cod, but
many live as Ii there were no God.
Many apparently never give mo-
ment's thought to God. They never
worship His name. They never pray
to Him or read His Word. They do
not acknowledge His gracious pro-
violence in their lives. They never
give minute of time or a cent of
money to further His kingdom on
earth. They pursue their own honor,
pleasure, and happiness. They may
not be avowed atheists but for all
practical purposes they are atheists.
If We really believe in the one true
God, we will seek to serve Him in
our lives and worship Him publicly
and privately. We will take God in
to all our consideration, turn to Him
for help in the hour of need, and
acknowledge His love and blessing
in our lives. If our faith in God
doesn't produce at least some desire
to know Him better, to worship His
name and to serve Him in our lives,
it is an empty faith and we in
reality do not believe in God but are
practical atheists.
The sin of neglect of God is great.
If continued in, it will condemn for
eternity. However, if those who are
without God in the world will but
come to God through the God-ap-
pointed Mediator, they will find
forgiveness through the blood of
Jesus Christ, Gods Son There is no
one but who is guilty of living with
out God in some degree. We all need
His cleansing. We all need to give
God His rightful place in our lives.
Seek We first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness" Matt. 6:33.

Masonic Resolutions =
On The Death Of
joseph Kennurd YOUNG

The angel of death has again in
vaded our mystic circle and the
Supreme Master in his providence
has seen fit to summon into his
divine presence, the soul of our
friend, brother and companion
Joseph Kennard Young, who depart
ed from this life January Goth, 1947,
after a useful and exemplary life of
nearly sixty years. He was made a
Master Mason in Lexington Lodge
No. "a in 1909. Received the Chapter
degrees in 1910. The Council degrees
in 1911, and the Commandery de-
grees in 1911. He assumed the vows
of High Priesthood in 1918. He was
appointed District Grand Lecturer
in 1914 and served as same through
1920. He was elected Grand High
Priest of the Grand Chapter of Miss
issippi on March 23rd, 1882, and
served for one year.
He has always through his Mason
life been an active, useful and we'll
informed member being especially
well informed in ritualism and laws
and gave cheerfully of his time in
instructing his less informed breth-
en-. He always took an active stand
for what he thought was right and
best for the order and in his COM
munity life, being always ready to
give his services when needed.
He will be missed in our meetings
and in the daily walks of life. We
accept with resignation the will of
our divine Master, knowing that
he doeth all things we'll
Therefore be it resolved:
That in his passing our Masonic
bodies and our community have sus-
tanned a serious loss and that his
presence will be gravely missed.
To his family we tender our pro-
found sympathy in their bereave-
ment.
There must be something after
death; Behind the toll of men, there
must be God Divine who is work
ing out a plan. And this brief Jour-
ney that we know as life, must
really be the gateway to a fairer
world that someday we shall see."

January to aid victims of infantile
paralysis throughout the nation.
In an official report released today
by Mrs. Jack Reid, of Lexington.
county drive chairman, it was shown
that $2,61248 was raised in Holmes

One-half of this money will be re-
tanned in the Holmes County Chap

used for sufferers of this disease In

Much of the local money retained in

get medical care, braces, etc. for
crippled children who otherwise
would not have needed medical at
tention. y
Thinks Workers
Mrs. Reid said the drive was q
complete success in every way and
asked this paper to express through
its columns her sincere praise and
thanks for and to the community
chairmen throughout Holmes county
who responded so magnificently In
the drive. She said the community
chairmen were responsible for the
success of the campaign and she
wanted to publicly express her ap-
probation for their efforts.
Mrs. Reid said that she also want
ed to give special mention and
praise to the colored leaders OF the
schools throughout the county who
cooperated almost one hundred per-
cent in the drive and were respon-
sible for a great deal of the success
of the campaign.
The money from the March OF
Dimes is used to aid every victim OF
polio and for every needy crippled
child, regardless of race, Mrs. Reid
said and we think it fitting and
praiseworthy that all our people CO.
operate so beautiful on the drive.
