YOUR
BIRTH STONE

The birthstone for August is
either the peridot or the sar.
donyx both symbolizing the
hope and promise of married
happiness. Entitled to wear the
August birthstones as personal
good luck tokens are actress
Ethel Barrymore, dancer Gene
Kelly, former president Herbert
Hoover, novelist Edna Ferber
and humorist Ogden Nash. Com
poser Claude Debussy was born
in the month of August, as was
Napoleon Bonaparts.
According to legend, as re-
ported by the Jewelry Industry
Council, the peridot was suppos-
ed to have come from the Ser
pent Isle in the Red Sea, guard
ed by Jealous watchers whose
duty it was to put to death any
unauthorized persons who ap-
peared. Not even those who had
a right to seek the gem could
find the peridot by daylight 1t
was not until nightfall that it
was revealed by its radiance.
The seekers then marked the
spot and gathered the stones in
daylight. Legend also relates
that a peridot repels the terrors
of the night and, when set in
gold, eXerts great power over
evil spirits.
The peridot, which comes
chiefly from St. Johns Island,
makes fine ring stone for men
as well as women. The most pre-
ferred shade is a soft delicate
green with pale yellow under
tones.
The sardonyx, alternate birth
stone for August, was reputed
to give courage to orators and
shy lovers. Scarabs cut from
sardonyx have been found in
Egyptian ruins, and history tells
us that the ancient Romans were
the first to choose it for .August's
birthstone. A stone which COM
bines the beauty of opaque red
and brown tones, the sardonyx
is found mainly in Brazil and
Uruguay today. For men it is
popular in canoes and intaglios
or when cut for crests or initials
set in a ring.

Ou1 boys, on entering the
place, at once took possession of
the church and school-house,
which they soon converted into
comfortable and convenient
quarters. In the evening, fear
ing a night attack, pickets were
posted on the hills around, an
arrangement which resulted in
the capture of three or four of
the insurgents, who, unable to
endure the biting cold wind and
pitiless storm of snow and sleet,
which was falling, were endeav-

ELECTION
LAWS

Ohio is one of the % states
which makes adequate" pro-
vision for voting by members of
the armed services. This does not
mean that only % states allow
members of the armed services
to vote, but only % states have
set up laws which allow them
either to vote without being re-
gistered, or to register by mail
Ohio does not require a per-
son in service to be register and
allows any member of the armed
services to vote if he or she is
2l years of age, a u. S. Citizen,
and a resident of Ohio. If he
resided in Ohio at the time he
commenced service, he has a
voting residence in the precinct
in which he resided, provided
the time during which he resid-
ed in Ohio preceding his en-
trance into service plus the
time spent IN service equals or
exceeds. one year.
The service man may apply for
ballots himself on a form fur
nished by the federal govern
ment and usually obtainable at
all bases, or on a form furnished
by the County Board of Elec-
tions, or merely by writing a
letter to his County Board of
Elections. The application does
not need to be in any particular
form. 1t only needs to contain
words which, literally constru-
ed, indicate the request for bal
lots, the election for which he
desires ballots, that he is serv-
ing in the armed forces that he
has a residence in the state, and
sufficient information to enable
the Board of Elections to deter
mine the precinct in which his
residence is located He should
also state his armed service ad-
dress to which the ballots should
be mailed.

And during those same years
| have come to know and respect
a large number of the men and
women who publish the weekly
newspapers in those smaller
communities. These papers con-
stitute the last of a free press
in America.
Most of our metropolitan
newspapers no longer seem to
be concerned with preserving
what our Founding Fathers be-
queathed to this nation as a
matter of fact, all too many of
them actually editorialize and
slant their news in such manner
as to give great help to the sub
versives who would sovietize
America and take our freedoms
from us.
So, as once again I become a

salute to those loyal American
men and women who publish
and edit the rural press.
And finally, my congratula-
tions to me on having done my
time in the big city and upon
my parole into the custody of
the friendly people of a small
town. My fervent hope is that
they'll be as pleased to have this

Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBFRT a. RANDOLpH

Question: What is the social
life of the church?
Answer: The social life of the
church and the social life of the
world are two entirely different
things. In Acts 2:40 we read,
Save yourselves from this un-
toward generation. This un-
toward generation is a perverse,
obstinate generation walking
contrary to God, and the welfare
of men. The social life of the
world is not at all applicable to
the church. The social life of
the world is a life of eating and
drinking and making merry.
Just what is called by them as
having good time. Now the
church IS saved from these
things. Surely they are happy,
but their happiness is not found
in the things of the world, but
the church is happy because they
have found Savior, and have
been delivered from sin and its
calling fetters.
Now they have a hope in heav-
en- and the eternal glory of the
Father that truly make them
happy and rejoicing. Matthew
Henry, in his commentary on
Acts, says, '"The best society is
society in worshipping God" The
church has no need of the
worldly practice of social life for
they are far below the place of
blessing in the church. When the
church brings the ways of the
world into it, it is sign that
she has begun to fall from grace
and losing the fire and blessing.
Men and women and boys and
girls who have real experience
of salvation, care not for these
times of eating and playing of
games and so forth. They never
had and still have no apart in
the true church of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Surely we know that practi-
cally all the church groups of !
today practice the worlds social |
life, by having picnics, hamburg
er fries, ice cream socials, water
melon fellowships, games, con-
tests and so forth. Have you
found such church whose
depth of spiritual life has been
depended by those things? No
you do not SO find, but on the
you find their spiritual
life dropping to a lower lever.
and this accounts for their turn
10 the world. When the Spirit of
God is lost from the church. then
she begins to resort to these
.hlngs of the world to get the
'roWd, and so many are teaching
and practicing these worldly |
ways that those who still hold
to the old truths of the Bible.
are looked upon as foolish and
fanatic, and made fun of by the
worldly class. The Lord help US
in these days to get back to God |
and so enjoy the real blessings
of God that the chaff of the
world will have no place in our
midst. The true social life of
the church is found in the wor-
ship of the eternal God and the
uniting of hearts in the bonds
Of Christian love and fellowship.
The Lord help you and bless YOU |
and give you grace to stand for
the truth of God
