Christnuis Trade Week Is An Established Affair Murphy once mora is In the mid* of * Christmas Trade Week and prizes, the outstanding parade and the smoothness with which so smaU details have been worked out again show how well Murphy can work together. The parade was the best that has been seen in Murphy, according to several old timers. It was the result of work put in by Bob White as marshall and Bob Bauk as float chairman. The prises donated by stores participating in Trade Week are much larger than those given last year. These prizes?besides being a large drawing card for customers?indicate that store owners are will ing to go all the way to make Murphy a better place in which to trade. The Town of Murphy did its part by getting Christmas lights and decorations up in time for the parade. And Merchants followed suit with decorations, spreading the Christmas spirit for Santa Claus and his parade. With the first half of Trade Week gone, all indications point to a heavy shopping week end. The prize committee, headed by Roy Lovin good, still has plenty of valuable prizes to be given during the last days. Ahd the $500 Savings Bond will be given Saturday. As during the past three days, a $100 bond will be given today and tomorrow. (Murphy Merchants have definitely established Christmas Trade Week as a regular annual affair and it is a monument to those who carried out the details for the past two seasons.

' U? m I*!-*, EVEN today there are people who (eel that religion and pol itic* don't mix. The answer to that la, U your politics Is the kind that won't mix with your religion. If a either the wrong kind of re ligion or the wrong kind at poli tics, or both. Just as II is not sua for a man to try ,to reserve a part of his personal life, keeping it for himself and away from God, so it is not right nor safe to reserve any section of so ciai me ana sup pot* that God ??? raremaa need have nothing to do with it or about it. ? ? ? Government When St. Peter tells his friends to be subject to "every human institution" he does not mean that all human institutions are what they ought to be and what God wanta them to be. There are no perfect persons; how can there be perfect Institutions? The truth is between two extremes. One extreme view says: Insti tutions, Including governments, are what they are by God's will and ordinance; therefore we must not criticize them, much less re volt. (This is the view of fascism everywhere and always.) The oth er extreme says: Since no human institution is or can be perfect, let us Christians stick to the one institution of the church, and leave everything else to the realm of sin. But no part of the world, or of human Ufe, can be safely left to the devil. If it is right to try to make a family as nearly Christian as possible, it is right to try to make government as Christian as possible. God's will Is that we should have govern ment (in Lincoln's great phrase) "under God." That is to say. gov ernment is on the right line when it is in line with the great prin ciples of life God has shown us. Justice and law should go togeth er. All government uses law; but only good government makes just law. Above all human laws is the Law of God. "Under God" means not simply that God's name is used but that his will is really expressed in what the government does and plans. The Governor Ail good government centers in some kind of executive. He may be called Prime Minister, or King, or President The name does not make mucb difference. But there has to be some responsible head somewhere, some person who has the right to make decisions and to order them carried out This is true all the way down from na tional to village organization. A government where it is possible to "pass the buck" all around In a circle without any one person's being held responsible or having to make a decision, is a bad gov ernment Both in the Old Testa ment and in the New. the impor tance of the right man at the cen ter of things is underscored. Un der a good king like David or Hezeklah, the country prospers; under a bad one like Jeroboam or Manasseb the country goes to pieces. Times have not changed much. ? ? ? The Governed * The great difference between government In the days of Saints Psul and Peter and today, is that in the English-speaking coun " tries, where free Bible Christian ity has had fullest sway, we have democracy as our-form of govern ment (This is not forgetting other countries where the same is true, . such as Holland. It is also not for getting that in some countries called democratic, there is nothing of democracy but the name. > Both Paul and Peter, when they wrote of kings and other men of author ity, did not picture modern de mocracy at all. In the Roman Em pire the monarch were dictators: they were not elected. In our dem ocratic world the governed are also the governors. Power resides no longer In the throne or in the palace; it resides in the people where it belongs. Furthermore, in the modern democratic world. Christian Ideals can make them selves felt as they could not in the palace at Rome or Constan tinople. In centuries gone by. Ev erybody who watched Queen Eliza beth's crowning must have been impressed by the fact that tt was a religious act, performed in a church by Christian ministers.
