C. * As Second Class Matter &&&£ MONDAY, JULY 9, 1945 It isn't true because the COURIER-TIMES says It, but the COURIER-TIMES says it because It Is true. BEGINNING OF SECOND STEP Roxboro Baptists of the First Church, be ginning this week, on Tuesday and Thurs days nights, are instituting a series of re creational programs in their Educational building. The programs, according to an nouncement made yesterday, are to be espec ially for young people of the City and Coun ty, although naturally those who are mem bers of the church will doubtlessly be in the majority in attendance. The program is be ing underwritten or given a start by two deacons of First Church, who have con-i tributed sums for the purchase of ping-) pong tables, dart games, badminton, horse shoes and ihe like. It comes as no surprise that the Roxboro First church is planning such programs for young people, since the pastor, the Rev. J. Boyce Brooks, is one of the most outspok en advocates of planned recreation for young j people here and speaks on the subject early j and Jate, whenever he has an opportunity. Point of mentioning the program in these j columns is that what the First Baptists are starting here is also in the minds of the members of other churches and is heing planned for by them. The Baptist program, however, in a sense is the most organized movement of all among the churches at this time and is in fact a second step in the general direction of planned recreation for Roxboro young people, the first having been the plan followed for the past two years by Roxboro high school at the USO Service Center. The time will come when the high school program will be stronger than it is. The time will come when the whole City, together with the County, will wake up to the needs of a larger and bet ter ahletic and recreation system, but un til that time comes it is heartening to ob serve some more spade work being done by the churches here. We congratulate them for doing, rather than talking and for realizing that the time for action is now, not tomorrow or the next day. o FOR SUCH A TIME. FOR SUCH AN END It is pevsoiial al|>ut Staff Sergeant B. G. (Buddy) Clayton, Jr. He was like that. He wanted nothing from friendship unless it was deep-rooted and went down in side the heart. Maybe that means some folks in Roxboro missed knowing him, but to those who did know him that final War Department message of July 4, coming after months of the suspense of uncertainty, was a knife twist. The pain was sharp. It still is. Under such circustances it does no good to say that time is a healer, but those who believe that life has a purpose (as he did) must be for ever grateful for his faith and for the faith of those of his generation. S. Sgt. Clayton’s name is but one from this, his home community, on a roll of honor, the cost of which is being measured in new depths each time a casualty message is re ceived. And Sgt. Clayton, or “Buddy”, as we must think of him, had a premonition of that cost before he went to France, but he went. The rest is a matter of record. What we do with the world that he loved is our responsi bility and we are sure he would want no memorial set apart—provided the responsi bility is met full-faced. The unborn and those who are now chil dren may never be completely aware of the freer air of their world, made possible by young men and women who are now giving their lives for the hope of a better world, but those of us who are older have no such ex cuse of the ignorance of nobility. o HARD WORK DOES IT 1 Discounting that $225,000 allocated to the Person Seventh Wpr Lord quota through State of North Carolina porch**# of bonds, it took Hie hard work of a greet many citi- zens here to put over the $254 000 E Borcl total and a deal of deliberate planning and financing by larger contributors to push the general over-all total up to $992,000. The work of alj of the people of Person County and Roxboro has gone into the drive and will be responsible for that over a million mark which is being sought for here and may be reached before these lines can be printed. Much of the success of any drive such as that of the Seventh War loan depends upon the fine, instinctive loyalty of citizens gen erally and it is such a loyalty that we have here, but credit for spurring citizens for ward should always go to those civic leaders who are at the head. People here know who those leaders are and there is no need to call names, but it is only through the cooperation of all that any quota for any cause is over subscribed. The moral is obvious, for a lot of under takings here, all the way from hospitals to playgrounds, brunswick stews, oxegyn tents or what have you, including churches and schools. Hard work and planned cooperation did it in the Seventh War Loan drive and ditto, ditto can do it in any other worthy in stances. A cause that is believed in can be supported here, and is. The Seventh War Loan has proved that, but there are many j more ways in which that reputation can bei lived up to and greatly to the benefit of both town and county. 0 THE SPINNING WHEEL Small item from Camp Butner the other day concerned the gift of a spinning wheel by Mrs. W. N. Thomas, of Oxford, to the oc cupational therapy shop. Camp Butner hos pital. Second paragraph of the story reveals that Mrs. Thomas, who is well-known in Roxboro is a lover of and a collector of an tique furniture and that she has loaned to the hospital a second and older and hence more valuable spinning wheel. Persons who share Mrs. Thomas’ feeling for fine old furniture and the domestic arts: of the past, can appreciate the measure of j sacrifice she is making for progress of the j occupational therapy program. Lovers of an- j tiques do not go around making gifts and loans of cherished posssessions. In any case, her spuming wheels are being put to usages we suspect that occupational therapy may have been unconsciously practiced upon then in the long ago days after Appomatox. The words —occupational therapy are new —the practice is not, except that is being ex ercised more deliberately and with purpose. Well-rounded farm or small town life about the time when those spinning wheels were made was busy enough to keep all hands, those of the able-bodied and the handicapped, at work. The difference now is that we know the cause of the benefits derived from ther apy treatments. '; ' I ■’ • '-7 •- "• . i 0 WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING FANTASTIC Asheville Citizen ! Take it from Representative Rankin, the spotlight kid, Hollywood “is the greatest hot bed of. subversive activities jn . thq States.” Why, mart “accordiiig-io of the most dangerous plots ever instigated J for the overthrow of this government had its j headquarters in Hollywood!” All of which means, friends, that the Dies committee rides again. Stage-managed by the Mississippi fuehrer (Chairman Hart resign ed in disgust), the House un-American Af fairs Committee has got hold of a sensation al, gigantic, super-colossal plot, and its in vestigators are racing out to the West Coast. It has never occurred to us before that the United States might be in danger of over throw by Hollywood. Perhaps it is true. It will be interesting to see what terrify ing activities Mr. Rankin (with the guidance of the Hearst press) manages to uncover. This sort of wild-eyed nonsense cost the tax payers $600,000 when Representative Dies was running the show. John E. Rankin hard ly promises to be less profligate. o , BELATED ORCHIDS News and Observer Some folks never send flowers to friends v.’iiL they I've but cover their coffin with rich floiul dt. !£}?:;. Tt is equally true that some public servants, who render efficient service, get little b.ui li'cks and cuffs and harsh criticism while doinj a good jo'), but when they retire or resign are pelted \v77f high praise and sweet words. Recently there have been two evidences of this regrettable trait in many people. For 12 years Frances Perkins was subjected to more unfair and ungalkmt criticism than any member of the Cabinet, but when she resign ed those who had been pelting her with stoop? rushed to send her offerings of roses and aU sweet and lovely flowers of praise.

He answered in this ■ Way: In 1942, the Russians needed $6,- 000,000 and we extended credit' to them for that amount. The Rus- I sians promised to send gold as col lateral. The gold was put on a Bri- j tish freighter that was sunk In the North sea by a German sub. The| Russians made no claim that the obligation had been met. Instead, they asked us to land a ship at an Alaskan port, and eventually the gold arrived, hidden away in gar- ! bage cans on the ship. A treasury official accepted the gold and chartered an American plane to take it to the States. The plane developed engine trouble and it couldn't gain altitude. The pilot, looking for baggage to throw away to lighten the load, ordered the treasury official to “throw away those old garbage cans.” The plane made it, after all. and now the gold | is buried at Fort Knox.—Washing- j ton Post.

Lambe, Route 4, Danville, Va., Pastor of Providence Baptist Church Text Job 36:18. •'Because there is wrath, bfware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot define thee”. This text falls into three natural divisions which we will call the act ual, the possible, and the impossible. These three points form a most solemn warning from God to man We note: 1. Tlie actual. "Because there is wrath.” To some this is perhaps a new thought about God. In our thinking about God too often we think of Him only as a God of love, and lose sight of the fact that He is also a God of wrath. His holiness demands * that He hate sin. The Bible is plain in its declara tion that God’s nature. His very essence is love; but because of His holiness and hatred of sin, He has revealed to us His wrath against sin. His is a perfect love to the sinner, but judgment has been pronounced against his sin. In the Gospel of John we have this plain statement: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that be lieveth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (Jno. 3:36).

It is, of, course, physically impos sible for the county agents and home demonstration agents to visit all of the 4-H members as often as help is needed and hence rural neighborhood leaders in each sec tion of the county are selected by the boys and girls themselves, to whom they can turn for assistance.

The possible. "Beware lest He take • thee away with His stroke.” Also Prov. 29:1. , The danger is a real one; God does not speak unnecessarily. God’s wrath is not just a bogy idea to scare children with, but the writei is urgent in his insistence that the matter of God’s wrath against the sinner’s sin be given immediate at tention. If the danger were threat ening someone else only, we should be interested for their sake; but iiow much more should one be con cerned when danger threatens him self. Immediately someone will say. “What a low motive that is for one to seek the Lord!” But have we not always been taught that self-pre servation is the first law of nature? And would one be showing too much selfishness to flee from a burning building to save his life? To refuse to escape would be folly. My friend. God is telling you that you are in danger of receiving the stroke of God’s judgment upon your sins. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that lorget God" (Psa. 9:17. There is a way for you to escape, but there is no time for delay. Will you turn to Christ now? 3.

Johnson report ed yesterday. “Survey made in fourteen key cities of the Southeast show that more meat is definitely reaching the retail stores,” Johnson said. It Isn’t as much as we'd like to see, but ijt shows a decided change for the bet ter, with still more Improvement ex pected In the cowing weeks.

When the great stroke of God's judgment falls upon this world, it will be too late to flee. Then a great ransom, no matter how large, will not be sufficient to deliver one lost soul. The time of deliverance will have passed. The door of God's sal vation will have closed forever. The Bible knows nothing about the doc trine of another chance after death, but its teachings are positively to the contrary. “Now is the accepted time; beheld, now is the day of sal vation." Do not let anyone or anything hinder you in your settlement of this most important question now. Anyone who would delay or hinder you in the matter of your personal salvation or the salvation of your loved ones is not your friend. He is only being used of Satan to bring about your eternal destruction. “To day if you will hear His voice, hard tn not your heart.”. Now is God’s time. You cannot be saved yesterday, because yesterday is gone forever. What you did then is forever history. You cannot do it tomorrow, because you are not liv ing tomor row. Also God has said for no one to boast of what he will ?a tomorrow. No one knows what a day will 1-i'ing forth or if he will be liv ing then. That leaves only today, and it may be now or never with many of those who read this little message. "How shall we escape If we neglect so great salvation” llleb 2:3)?
