Editorial Comments
I hope the masses of Negroes
will never get to learned and
prosperous to believe that God
works in mysterious way his won
ders to perform. The Israelites
did not get themselves out of
Egypt; the Negroes did not get
themselves out of American slav
ery; man’s ingenuity cannot ex
plain all tkat man has become. As
old John Burroughs wonderfully
said “We stand amid eternal
ways.”
None but the vengeful and sad
istic would hope that Talmadge’s
soul did not find rest; for he was
very little different from the
common run of us. Well might we
pray that God may rest his soul
for he was just one more human
prodigal gone astray. May God
have forgiven him for he did not
know what he was doing.
Be it with his soul as it may,
his passing was a break for the
Negroes and decent whites of
Georgia and for the nation and
for the cause of righteousness.
Praying people need never fear
even Talmadges at their worst!

THERE’S ALSO A LINEUP FOR
TELEPHONE SERVICE...
BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ITi
Today you line up for meat, bread, butter, nylons, shirts,
and many other scarce items. You wait patiently for these
things, because you can see the line of people ahead of you.
At times of peak traffic, telephone service is often slow,
particularly long distance service . . . but you cannot see
the long line of other calls ahead of yours. We ask von ?n
try to visualize this telephone line-up ... it will helo von .
better understand our situation.
