Ours is an age of unparalleled paradoxes. Seldom in the history of mankind, has there been more need than to { day for the precepts contained in the greatest of books. I ' ! Human ingenuity and inventive genius have expanded enormously mankind's capacity to satisfy the material anil cultural 'wants of man. Eut in the niid3t of this po tential abundance poverty is stiii rampant, suffering and misery are still widespread. Yet the fruits of 1 j cultural advancement are still far i I from being universally accessible. The evolution of political' thought has created forms of de- J mocracy and representative gov- j ernment under which human lib- j erty can flourish to ennoble and fructify the lives of individuals. ( Yet in many parts of the world, there is a drift toward a revers ion to a system of tryanny of mar. over man, toward an abridgment • or destruction of human liberty, toward a shackling of speech and i action and even of individual thought and conscience. Technical and economic develop ments have brought the world to-1 gether into an interdependent [ whole. Internatoinal peace has as sumed the aspect of practical, im mediate and urgent concern to ali nations ar.d to all individuals within nations, The repercus sions of war, wherever it may oc cur, are swiftly and devastatingly transmitted to the farthest corn ers of the earth, and inevitably affect the lives of nations and or individuals. Yet the attainment of durable peace is still a matter of desire and hope rather than a reality. Having created incredibly efficient means of destroying life i and property in military action, humanity is still far from success in its frantic search for means of aboliahing the scourge of war. These are some of the problems which weigh upon us today. Where shall we look for the answer? . One thing is clear: Our prob lems and our difficulties, our sense of bafflement and confusion, do not spring from any material causes, nor from an inability t> I visualize our potentialities and our p Th.- ro ea of our tragic shortcominga lie in the j realm of the spirit. Tinu. ind again we find ourselves defeated in efforts to improve con-iitiojis jwitWn aav* nraong nktiona solely, because of the spirit wfrleh ani mfttiM human relUWWpn.

'I 'Yet such guidepoats lexis t-- , 1 * t" plainly to be se«n by these wfio , !• * • V wish to see them* easy to fellow ' by those «rho realize their surpas r sing worth. They are embodied in |*' book—the Book of the Ages, the Holy Bible. I That book is indeed, as Lincoln. ■ • -rr, once said, "the best gift which has ever given to man." It ii the revelation of God's will as to . the relationship of man to God. jit is the most complete and '' fying compendium of moral *»id ' ethical principles. Its precepts | have withstood attack and ; criticism, derision and doubt. They I' . have emerged triumphant from the test of centuries as the most constructive basic of human rela- tionships. 1 The Bible is the high-water • mark of literature. The sublime j beauty of thought, feeling and ex -1 pression enshrined in its simple' but sonorous phra3e3 has sh_,r.; undimmed through the centuries. It is more widely loved and rever ed and read than any other bock. Even so, cur tragedy is that th_- Bible is not read enough, ponder ed enough, followed enough. | What we need today, above everything else, is a universal and firm conviction that only if the j ! thought and action of every one of us are guided by the spirit of ! the Bible can humanity win through to our ardently desired goal of happy and contented life for all; that if that spirit is cast aside or warped, disaster alone is' in store for us. Too many human relationships today, within and among nations, I rest upon the shifting sands of selfish search for immediate aJ-' vantage, of mistrust and enmity, I refusal to respect those rights of others or to fulfill those obliga j tions toward others without which j I barbarism, rather than civilized existence, becomes the scheme of life. Inveitably, all of us. the vic tors as well as the vistims in this continuous and blind struggle, must become engulfed in the ruin of that social structure which we call civilization. History records too many instances of the down fall oi civilizations /consequent upon moral and spiritual decad ence. That is the fate which inexorab ly awaits us unless we resolutely j build our social structure upon the rock of mutual confidence and friendliness, of clear-sighted dif-1 ferentiation between ephemeral and lasting attainments, of sin-1 cere and scrupulous respect for the rights of others and whole hearted fulfillment of obligations toward others, of understanding and cooperative efTort between in dividuals and nations. I Humanity desperately needs to day a moral and spiritual rebirth —a revitalization of religion. I There is no sure way to this supreme goal save through ad herence to the teaching* of the Bible!

It was installed in this office about 'considered of outstanding print- I ing ingenuity. But it had a sentimental value, for its history, and its usefulness' 'in the days of old. When this writer, graduating from the little one-teacher school | down under the hill at 12 years , of age, started into the fascinat ing field-of journalism, some of j his first experiences were with! that old press, weighing about j 700 pounds and driven by foot' power. Election times came along and N. 0. Petree was running against Jas. Rierson for Clerk. R. I. Dal ton was Sheriff, D. V. Carroll was Register of Deeds. Many the hour we pumped off the tickets in those old campaigns. Circulars, envelops and letter heads, cards, state :. nits, et\ wore its raak. It iicr formed faithfully and well. | The other day we saw a faded I tintype showing three gentlemen ' getting their pictures taken. N. O. ■ Petree and J. C. Wall were seat. i ed. Right behind them was D. V. Carroll. ' It was in those old peaceful lays that the press was doing its sturdy job. Much water has sluic ed under the wheel since then. Two of the posers in the photo have passed over to the other side, splendid, kind gentlemen. Mr. Petree is still living and his hosts of friends are happy that in his 84th year he is still in the pos session of his faculties, though his general health is delicate. May he be spared many years yet to enjoy his well spent life. And so the old press, with its memories and its usefulness i s gone, scrapped for the Japs.
