“WHEN I HAVE TIME”
“When I have time so many things I’ll do
To make life happier and more fair
For those whose lives are crowded now with care;
I’ll help to life them from their low despair.
When I have time.
“When I have time the friend I love so well
Shall know no more these weary, toiling days;
I’ll lead her feet in pleasant paths always,
And cheer her heart with words of praise
When I have time.
“When you have time!” The friend you hold so dear
May be beyond the reach of your sweet intent;
May never know that you so kindly meant
To fill her life with sweet content.
When you had time.
“Now is the time! Oh, friend, no longer wait
To scatter loving smiles and words of cheer *
To those around whose lives are now so drear;
They may not meet you in the coming year
Now is the time.” —Selected.
WEEKLY MEDITATION
By Rev. Paul A. Boriack, B. D.,
Pastor St. Matthew's Luth
eran Church, Marion, N. C.
Why is there so much law-break-
: ing, so much crime? And that in *
'spite of the fact that the law is mak-
: ing every effort to curb crime. Gen-
jerally we are to believe by every
possible argument that “Crimg does
jnot pay”; and yet there is nojet-up
jbut only more of thieving, murder-
jing, hating, wife-stealing, virgin-de-
A nationally famous theolo;|:ian
-writes: “Ecclesiastical liberals have
contributed to m^l decline .and a
; rising crime wave by destroying be
lief in heaven and hell.”
I Despite the fact that the New
I Testament uses the word “heaven”
jand related terms>many times, many
: modern preachers seek to convince
.their people that the biblical heaven
: is merely a childish fantasy and sub- j
I stitute in its place a cheerless con-
iviction of life after death which re-
I duces the destiny of men to that of
I beasts. And the real purpose of argu
ing away heaven is to get rid of hell

ARMY MANOEUVRES
In May, the army will stage its
greatest peace-time manoeuvres in
and Texas. Nearly 70.000 regular
army troops will effect the largest
concentration ever held in the na
tion in time of peace. The manoeuv
res are expected to test the new
streamlined organization of the
armed forces in connection with les
sons borrowed from European hostil
ities. Cost of the exercises is estima
ted at about $28,000,000.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Our own advice is: Trade in Mar

Life would be less depressing,
sometimes, if the individual could
do as he, or she, pleases.

When an individual has so much
religion that nobody else can possibly
equal it, the individual has too much
religion.

When you begin to please every
body it’s time for you to examine
yourself.

When you have work to do, you
might as well do it. Nobody else will
do it for you.
