Rev. Brown Addresses
Lexington Rotarians

The Rev. A. Y. Brown, pastor of
the First Methodist church brought
a thought-provoking and timely mes
sage to Lexington Rotarians Friday
speaking on the topic: Must We
Look To God For Peace " He vas
presented by D. c. Lundy for John
Tingle, program chairman.
The Rev. Brown quoted from an
editorial appearing in the CONNER
cial Appeal which pointed out how
the world thought we, couldn't have
another war at the end of World War
I.
If We look to God for peace we can
and will have peace in the establish
ment of His kingdom and by walk
ing in His ways, the speaker said,
quoting from the Bible.
If George Washington, Jefferson,
or Horace Greedy were to come back
to earth today suddenly they could
not talk about airplanes and the in
ventions of the times, the speaker
said. These gentlemen would be
completely out of place, he said.
But, if we started talking about the
Scriptures, morality and other ques-
tons of enduring Importance, these
men would be right at home in our
modern world, the Rev. Brown said.
The world today is still the same
in its human relationships as it has
always been, the speaker continued.
We are still seeking the same an
swers to the same questions as man
has since the beginning of time.
Nothing is out of date with the hui
man heart.
God has put many things in the
world for us and He expects us to
find them out. The law of gravita-
ton, penicillin, steam, were here a
long time before man found them
out, he continued.
The world today has developed a
great deal of speed today bringing
it much closer together, he said. But
what are we going to do with it?
The founding of this country and
all of the other worthwhile achieve
ments have had as their basis the
real principles of life. The world
today must come back to the prin-
ciples of God and enduring right
eousness if we are to survive, the
Rev. Brown said. We need to study
the Bible which gives us the real
basis upon which the world may OF
can live and find enduring peace, he
concluded. God watches owe His
own.

Plantation brand of fresh home
ground corn meal is now available
at all local grocery stores and at
the T. M. Williams and Sons Stores

is made from Holmes county corn on
a rock mill which cleans the corn
of all wevils and sits the bran from
the meal.
Mr.. Williams also manufactures

high grade dairy, hog and mule feed.
This feed also is on sale at local
grocery stores in this area.
