JOE- FLORIDA, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1944 NUMBER 38 -" Baptist Minister Compares City to Ancient Sodom Avers Port St. Joe Is Easiest Place For People to Backslide; Warns of Danger Taking for his sermon topic last; Sunday evening "Port St. Joe, a 'Modern Sodom," R. F. Hallford, ! pastor of the First Baptist Church, delivered a sermon on what he termed "inside- facts about the' shameful wickedness of this little sity," and warned his listeners to .mend their ways or take the consequences. Rev. Hallford! said that most of P us think of Sodom as, the, most wicked city of ancient times and, that right now Port ,St. Joe is ad- vancing to the forefront to take its M place alongside Sodom. . Drawing parallels between the ancient Sodom and modern Port St. Joe, Rev. Hallford stated that this city is a place where major emphasis is placed on material things and little attention paid; to spiritual matters. "Here people are r so busy making a living, working overtime for a few !extra dollars and, amassing material wealth that they have, no time to go to church. . Christ issued a solemn warning about such: 'Buit seek ye first the kingdom of God -and his righteous- ness.' And in Luke 12:'15, 'And he I %aid unto th+.Tn TT e iih.pVr n n l Salu .ot em, a neea ana b ,- a.j pl COvr-tJu. aness: .iQ .ma., man s life cobsisteth iot in 'the abundance. of the things which he posses.seth'." In Sod'om ,the 'people paid no at- tention to God s commands, said the minister, and in Port St. Joe His word is either ignored, made light of or rebelled against. "Having a good time is the order of the 'day here," said Hallford, "andi that was 'no doubt true of Sodom. Having a good time de- scribes Port iSt. Joe. And how do 'the people'have a good time? By smoking, drinking, gambling, danc- ing, adultery, etc. "Port Sit.

S' Your War Bond buying is a good tip-off to them about the state of affairs in your home. The headlines' in this newspaper on the progress of the drive, the items about par- ticipating individuals, the char- acter of the Fifth War Loan spe- cial events-all these things re- 'flect the morale back home. Do you like to read a sorry headline about the invasion fronts. Qur fighting forces, made up of individuals with the same reactions to good and bad as you, will not be heartened to read: "Fifth War Loan Lags."

Ernie Pyle has made the suggestion. The Record is for it 100 per cent. We'll explain in his words: "Give the combat soldier some little form *of recognition more than he is getting now. Everybody who serves overseas, no matter where or what he's doing, gets extra pay. "Airmen get an extra per cent above this for flight pay and all that is fine and as it should be, but the idea I was toying with is why not give your genuine combat soldier something corresponding to flight pay? "Maybe a good phrase for it would be 'fight pay.' As it is now there is no official distinc- tion between the dogface lying for days and nights under constant mortar fire and the headquarters clerk living comfortably in a 'hotel in Rio de Janeiro." If there is any good argument against Ernie COMPARES CITY TO ANCIENT SODOM (Continued, from page 1) backslide. Here Sunday school ,teachers, leaders and. even preach- ers backslide. miserably. It is a place of complete moral collapse. Many people in Port St. Joe have no moral standards left. To prove this, all we have to do is look at what goes on in some homes and In public gathering places'." Issuing a stern warning to his audience, Rev. Hallford concluded his sermon by," pointing out that ISodom was miserably destroyed; that old St. Joseph, famous for its gambling houses, saloons and horse r-aces, was wiped off the map by storm and plague. "Port. St. Joe is in danger," said Hallford. "In Galatians 6:7 it says, 'for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, and 'I shudder to think of what some people here will reap, for in 2 Peter 2:6 we find: .'And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into. ashes condemned' them with an overthrow, making them an ex- ample unto those that after should live ungodly'." Calling on the people to mend their ways and return to the path of righteousness,, Rev. ,Hallford quoted from 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing ,that any should, perish, but that all should come to re- pentance."

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA Pyle's case, we can't imagine what it might *be. True, no leader of the soldiers is going to go to the president and say, "Mr. Roose- velt, we either get fight pay-or we stop shooting nazis." No, the boys will go on fighting, giving all they've got, no mater whether they get an extra dime-or if their paymaster falls off a truck and fails to show up. Even Ernie Pyle is not asking. He is just suggesting. Suggesting an opportunity for us. Not to do so much, just a little more. Congress won't need a poll to gauge public sentiment on "fight pay."-The Philadelphia Record. HE'S WONDERFUL! The statesman throws his shoulders back and straightens out his tie, and says, "My friends, unless it rains today, the weather will be dry." And when this thought into our brains has percolated through, we common people nod our heads and loudly cry, "How true !" The statesman blows his massive nose, and clears his august throat, and says, "The ship will never sink so long as'it's. afloat." Where- at we roll our solemn eyes, applaud with main and might, and slap each other ,on the back, while we say, "He's right !" The statesman waxes stern and warm, his drone becomes a roar. He yells, "I say to you, my friends, that two and two make four." And thereupon our doubts dissolve, our fears are put to rout, and we agree that here's a man who knows what he's about !-Speakers Library.
