UV( AND LET LIVE
BUmtNG 1957
The 'Motor Vehicle Department released thei following re
port on traffic deaths in North Carolina as 1092, through. 10
a. m. December 31, 1956. Last year at this time, the report was
68 more fatalities or 1 160. It is pleasing to note that we have a
decrease in traffic deaths for a change.
With more and more cars and drivers joining the endless
parade of vehicles today, it behooves us all to be more alert so
that we may save a life, which might well be our own.
Driving conditions wherever you ride are readily noted by
each and every driver and proper thought and consideration of
such can mean the difference in playing safe and living or rid
ing to death.
With all the new safety devices that are being put on cars
today, it would be nice if some of them could be adapted to
people. In that way automatic safety devices would take over
and prevent an uncalled for accident. On the other hand we
are blessed with human faculties that far exceed mechanics and
with such we can think and do for ourselves. This is a point
well to remember the next time we are behind the wheel of an
automobile and feel inclined to ignore common sense safety
measures.

Before you read this column
please read the nineteenth Psalm.
Verse* one to atx of this Paalm
have been called. "The Symphony
of the Heavens". There la no aud
ible music, but to those who can
understand there Is a thrill tllfct is
simply enchanting. Do you think
there is no music there? Then
listen to God speaking to Job,
when the morning stars sang to
gether. and all the sons of God
shouted for Joy". 80 beautiful, so
wonderful if one will only stop and
look and think of the hand that put
them there. The Psalmist is thrilled
with the majesty of the starry
heavens and he tells us In language
most beautiful of the perfection of
the moral law. Immanuel Kant, a
German philosopher, said this qf
himself, "Two things fill *tbe mind
with wonder and awe ? the starry
heavens above me, and the moral
law within me".
All of us lcnow how skillfully and
wonderfully the various member*
of theh uman body are blended Into
one perfect whole, and how' they
work together in such beautiful
harmony. In this we may observe
the matchless handiwork of the ^
great Creator. What mind less than {
omniscience could create the hu
man body in all of its intricate me- *
chan ism and set it going and keep 1
it going sometimes for a hundred
years. Man has accomplished
many marvelous things and we *
need not be surprised to learn c
some day that he has echieved that ^
which approaches even the unearth
. ly and transcenent. Long ago I stop
ped saying, It cannot be done.
We know a great deal about the
starry universe but in reality we
have not yet even scratched the
surface of the mysteries of the
skies. If we continue to see into
these things thus acquiring further
knowledge of them astronomers
may startle the world in the near
future. So what? We know that
. Jupiter on Mount Olympus hurting
his thunderbolts was a mere im
' magination. Our God is not like |

Professional Driving Tips
Professional drivers know that
irou have to see danger to avoid it.
During the coming months of bad
weather, be sure that your de
frosters and windshield wipers are
in good working order, so that you
won't be driving blind. Keep ad
equate ventilation in your car, to
help prevent side and rear windows
from fogging up.
lions on Mount Sinai. We know that
he has created a universe that is
10 vast in size and extent that the
luman mind is utterly unable to
grasp its magnitude. The 300-Inch
elescope on Mt. Palomar has re
pealed island universes so far away
hat their light requires one billion
rears to reach here. How far away
s that? A beam of light travels a
ittle more than 186,000 miles sec
>nd. That Is nearly eight times a
?ound the earth at the equator in
)ne second. Tet it takes a billion
/ears for the light of these stars to
reach us. Space extends in all di
rections to that vast extent. Thus
the diameter of our circle of vi
rion through that telescope is equal
to the distance light travels in two
billion years. The same laws are in
force there that are in operation
here and the same chemical ele
ments that are found in the earth
and in our bodies also, are to be
found in those far away stars. Thus
we see that God does not rule over
a small teriftory as the ancients
thought but he is the Creator and
Ruler over this vast expanse and no
doubt many times more. "Lift up
your eyes on high and see: who
created these? He brings out their
hosts by number, calling them all
by name; by the greatness of hit
might and because he is strong
in power not one is missing."
Isaiah 40:26. (RSV)
Verses seven through ten of
Psalm nineteen give us a magnif
icent view of the moral law In its
perfect work. You .will not find
more eloquent language anywhere
than rigfyt here In these verses.
Here we see revealed the nature of
(3od. He is like that which he
wants us to Is. Here is pointed' out
