I love God’s common things— Snnrise and sunset, moon and evening star; O. common stars lighted so long ago. The sunshine flashing back from soft browm wings. The full strong sweep of tides that ebb and flow. A common thing, dear heart?

The Common Malady The object of these editorial columns is not to “show off” the writer’s ability to sling a string of words together, but to furnish something really helpful to the readers of this newspaper. For this reason we frequently lay aside our pen to reprodu(5e something someone else has said At this time of the year one of the most bothersome things we can think of is the common cold. We do not realize, however, that many deaths each year are the indi rect result of colds. Dr. Arnold B. Armstrong, an insurance executive, has compiled data showing how dreadful colds are as a forerunner of deadly diseases and offers the following helpful advice on treatment of colds: “Keep the body in good condition by eat ing the right kinds of food, including milk, fruits and green vegetables; “By not overeating especially of sweets Itetween meals; “By sleeping at least eight hours out of the twenty-four; “By exercising in the sunshine daily and by drinking at least six glasses of water a day. “Train the skin to stand changes in temperature by frequent bathing. “Wear sensible clothing, in order to keep warm and comfortable on cold days. “Keep the feet warm and dry “Breathe through the nose, and if this is difficult, see a doctor to discover the cause. “Have diseased tonsils, adenoids, and bad teeth treated or removed. “Always wash the hands with soap and water before eating and after toilet. “Live and work in well-ventilated rooms. “Sleep with open windows in vvinter and summer. “Cool off gi-adually, when overheated.” At the first signs of a cold,” Dr. Arm strong says, “such as tickling, soreness, ■>r dryness in the throat, sneezing or a run- ng nose, one should start treatment ^ht away. Very few colds would develop into serious illness if the i>erson who has a cold were wise enough to take proper care of himself the first day or two. Rest in bed, if possible, or at least indoors. This is particularly important if you feel weak, as weakness may be a sign of influenza. “In order not to give a cold to others. me should always cough or sneeze into a handkerchief, which should be boiled to germs before it is washed, or into a ^^doth or paper napkin or handkerchief can be burned. Dishes, including "'iS|^ing glasses, used by the person with 1-^ a ieold should be boiled after use, ble that cdds are also tra; tdshaking.” It is itted The Naw The Old TonMHTOw is the flwt day of a new year. Tonight we can w^ the slate clean of 1934 and start on 1935. ^One more glori ous cqpportunity oontaintog 366, days. r j.^1984 is, gone forever. Those mistakes naade ln that year are behind. ^,We cannot chanie our record -for that year:!^ It is gone. There is no use" to use up half of the new year moping over what we might have or should have done in 1934. The new year is a new opportunity not to be wasted on idle dreaming about what might have been. Could we but grasp the meaning of that line from Maud Muller: “The saddest words of tongue or pen ... it might have been.'* But what is the use of thinking about what might have been. The best any of us can do with our mistakes is to use our knowledge gained in the past to keep from making the same or similar missteps in the future. Regardless of your 1934 record, today is a good time to set the will working to ward accomplishments in 1935. New Year resolutions, however, are no good unless there is a fii’m determination and desire to accomplish what is resolved. That New Year resolution may be to quit some tenacious habit; it may be to pay debts, to make more money; to be more kind, or many other things we might mention that are possible through deter mination. Whatever it may be it cannot be done unless the mind is concentrated on the objective. The year 1984 witnessed revolutionary changes as the world moved on in its march of progress. The new year will also witness many changes as every year has since the dawn of creation. It is good that we do not know what Is coming ahead We can only judge by the past and be determined to take whatever is our lot with a good spirit. This does not by any chance mean that we should lie still and wait for the millineum. It means to do our best and reap the results, a good winner or loser. Every year, every month and every sun rise, every hour and every minute are new opportunitiees but none of them has the appeal of the New Year’s Day. It is a fine time to start all over again with clean pages on which to write. What you write there can do much toward evening up he black spots on past pages of time. “The world is a stage and men are the actors.” How will you play your part in the next scene—1935? And here’s wishing every reader of The Journal-Patriot ail the happiness, joy and prosperity that can be yours in the new year. for The Book the first line of which reads, “The Holy Bible,” and which contains four great treasures. By BRUCE BARTON TEN GRE.4T MEN Ten thousand ministers of all religious de nominations were asked to name the ten great est men in the Bible. It was not intended to in clude the name of Jesus Christ, but still His name led many lists and would, of course, have stood first of all. The second name in order of the number of votes is that of St. Paul; the next is Moses, and the third, David. These are in practically all the lists. After these three the vote is more evenly di.'^tributed. The total number of men named is sixty, and some of tlvisc that have the smallest number of votes are accompanied by the best reasons for inclusion. From this notable list we select the following names, not in the order of their plurality but in chronologi cal arrangement: 1. Adam, the fir.st man with conscience and a knowledge of moral responsibility. 2. Noah, the man on whom at one time hung the hope of civilization. 3. Abraham, the prince of pioneers. 4. Joseph, political economist, man of vision and integrity. 5. Moses, lawgiver, creator of a nation, foun der of the world’s system of legislation. 6. David, shepherd, soldier, singer and king. 7. Jeremiah, most heroic of that heroic group, the prophets. 8. Judas Maccabaeus, the rebuilder of a na tion. 9. John the Baptist, the herald of the dawn. 10. St. Paul, apostle, traveler, author and martyr. The reason for the larger number of names in the Old Testament is doubtless to be explained by the longer period which it covers. The New Testament narrative, from the beginning of the ministry of Jesus until the destruction of Jeru salem by Titus, is only about forty years, whereas the Old Testament traverses many cen turies. Adam: Whether you get your story of crea tion from Genesis or from Mr. fWells, the broad outlines are the same—a formless mass of mat ter in motion, evolving gradually into land and water, producing vegetation, and the lowest forms of life. Then higher forms, and still higher, until finally there came one amazing in dividual who raised himself upon his lower limbs and dared to say, “I am diflferent from the rest.” At first he had a hard time defining the differ ence. He ate and drank like other animals. He reproduced his species in the same gross sen sual way. The lusts of appetite ran in his veins vnth as hot a tide as in the beasts about him. He killed other animals and ate their raw and quivering flesh. Yet he was not like them. He walked unsteadily in ad erect postude, and that was a distinctitm of aa mpll for it loft the iin^r. limhg gjwWjthi . annual holiday hottoecom- ing event of the Quincy My ers family was celebrated last^ week at, the Carlhelm Hotel In ■ Lenoir. 5®:L'i— \ »&:. .►js Mr. and Jlw.
