A Wide Open Road
There is still left to man a wide open road leading
to prosperity and happiness, but there are too few
traveling that road.
Too many of us are trying to give less and get
more, a practice that is carrying us further and furth
er away from prosperity, |*ace and happiness. We
will have to take a different course. We will have to
give more and be willing to take less, or we will never
work out of this dilemma so commonly called depres
sion or "hard times."
We are muttering and grumbling about burdens
and hard times without thinking about the sacrifices
made by our fathers and the difficulties they overcame
to give us the heritage of a rich and free nation.
They cleared the land; they fought away the wild
•beasts and left us a land of opportunities, boundless
and free.. We came aloftg and sold out to the |jj>li
licians and grafters for a mess of pottage. And now
we have not the manhood tcJ arise to the conditions
that surround us and go into the fight with the de
termination to lay aside even a few of the pleasures
and endure the pain to make this a free people again.
We just continue in the clutches of a sinful pleasure.
It was a task for the Pilgrims to face the winter
winds. It was a job for Captain John Smith to feed
the Jamestown Colony. The same work, the same
worship and the same prayers that saved the Pil
grims and Jamestown years ago will save our homes
from bankruptcy, our society from shame and our
souls from damnation today.
We must change our course or we will never come
out.
Russian Recognition
At last we are about to recognize Russia. But sup
pose Russia refuses to recognize us.
At first we thought Russia unworthy of our dignity.
Now we are about to change our minds. With dread
ful pictures held up before us by a certain type of
business politicians, we were taught to look upon
Russie as a very dangerous country where the blood
of martyrs and just men was dripping from the iron
jaws of red communists. Now that the truth has be
gun to come out, we see more hungry folks in Ameri
ca than there are in Russia. And, too, we hear of
jpnore disorder in our social and economic system than
in all of Russia's. We are about to take back all we
have said against the Russian people and are now wil
ling to pat them on the back, call them good fellows
and say "trade some with us."
Selfishness has been America's greatest sin.
Sunday Baseball
Much is being said about Sunday baseball. Of
course it is wrong, but since people are so little con
cerned about whether things are right or wrong, it is
doubtful if any thing can be done about it>
The people who reverence God and delight in
worshipping Him, and those people who love the
church and its ordinances and who seek to throw its
light and love into the path of humanity to guide peo
ple to the safer, better and more useful ways in life,
will oppose Sunday baseball or the desecration of the
Lord's any other way.
On the other hand, those who are willing to listen
to the devil when he whispers it is no harm to have a
"good" time, will be for Sunday baseball and for many
other things that are at war with things that represent
the better side of life.
It is doubtful if the church can outlaw Sunday
baseball or any worldly pleasure because too many
people are for them. Naturally, when people follow a
line of pleasure all the week, they do not like to be
restrained on Sunday. It may be that the courts will
not restrain Sunday baseball, clearly indicating that
we need a change of vision. In other words, we ought
to know the difference between God and His teachings
and the devil and his teachings.
Adam and Eve seemed not to know or failed in their
choice and there their troubles were started.
Newspaper Headlines
If you want big headlines in the newspapers, let a
showman die or some politician speak for more liquor.
After all, are the newspapers standing plumb on their
feet?
"A Good Name Rather Than Riches"
The Reynolds death is only another chapter con
firming the fact that men should be careful who they
marry. Of course, women should, too. But this tone
the wayward young man made a mistake in choos
ing one too gay even for his own sporting blood.
Money can not safely be substituted for character.
Hard work made millions for R. J. Reynolds; wine
and women carried his son to his death. "A good
name is rather to be chosen than great riches."
Keep On Your Side of the Road
Always keep on your sjde of the road. The driver
who swings very close to right hand corners and who
holds well to the right on left turns seldom has trou
ble or causes trouble. Yet, if he fails to do so, he is
liable to kill or get killed.
It should be law, with drastic punishment, prohib
iting any motorist to drive on the other person's side
around any curve whether any damage is done or not.
Business Activity
Tie Associated Press, one of the greatest news
gathering agencies in the world, says there are scat
tered signs of business activity. The agency plays
safe hi making the statement because it does not say
how far scattered nor where the signs appear, whether
it will be with the bond clipper or the clod hopper.
However, since it takes a peck of corn now to pay
the interest on a bushel debt contracted 5 years ago, it
seems that the head of the coupon clip
[>er will rise a little, and the back of the clod hopper
will bend a little bit lower.
Foolish Farming
Why is it that farmers who raise all money crops
can't pay their taxes and farmers who have always
stuck to the rule of living at home by producing the
things they need are able to pay their taxes? Perhaps
if we could fully understand this one point, we would
get along* better.
We have made the mistake in thinking we could
plant an acre of cotton or tobacco and buy from two
to four acres of corn or wheat and make money. Ap
parently the practice is reasonable. Yet, the rule is not
true when a man has to cash in on a crop he does not
need and buy back the crop he does need, he always
has two distinct and generally very large losses. The
crop of tobacco begins to pay profits to somebody
other than the farmer just as soon as it leaves his
hand, ft goes on and on from hand to hand and step
by step paying profits here and there, and finally that
money is converted into Illinois corn, Wisconsin but
ter, Dakota wheat, Kansas hay and western hogs, all
to be sent back to the Carolina farmer for his family
and horses to eat. This type of foolish farming has
cost the South more than a billion dollars annualy on
an average during the past sixty years. The southern
farmer has paid big profits to handle what he grows
and then pays many profits on the things he needs to
eat.
It would be safe to estimate that the farmers' money
crop dollar is pillage of at least 33 cents and his pur
chasing dollar has a loss of another 33 per cent, leav
ing the farmer and his family about one-third of the
fruits of their labor.
The money crop farmers are the fellows who have
broke themselves and "busted" the country. Those
fellows who have farmed for a living are the ones who
owe less and have more of the things of life.
No Depression Here
In the death toll traceable to automobile accidents
there is no depression. Mortality figures continue to
mount year by year with appaling rapidity. Of the
215,000 people killed by automobiles in the United
States during the past ten years, it is estimated that
over 33,000 met death in 1931.
A corollary of this tragic situation, while not com
parable, sentimentally, with the loss of human life in
volved, is of immense significance: the inevitable in
crease in automobile insurance rates. The fact that
these rates are becoming almost prohibitive, due to
the depredations of reckless and unqualified drivers of
motor vehicles, unjustly penalizes the careful driver
who, sensible of his obligations to society, is eager to
afford protection of such insurance to the "other fel
low."
Again, sentimentally, consider the tremendous num
ber of children—little folks, to whom life means so
much—who have been hurled into eternity by on
rushing juggernauts of steel piloted by irresponsible
idiots. The unspeakable circumstances surrounding
the kidnapping and death of Baby Lindbergh have
given us a new perspective regarding the sanctity of
child-life. The mentally bankrupt motorist whose
negligence brings death to a child is tarred with the
same brush as the kidnapper who steals away a home's
most precious possession. The ultimate result is the
same: a mother's broken heart.
Summer has come once more, bringing with it an
enlargement of those hazards attending life in a nation
that literally lives on wheels. Let the readers do what
they can, during the vacation season, to safeguard
their own and others' lives, with special consideration
for children, against the perils of ntotordom gone
mad.— The Virginia.
Big Rats
We have heard of rats of all kinds, but those Ay
den rafs that weigh four pounds each, mentioned in
news dispatches last week, are the largest we have
heard of so far.
What puzzles us is how they grow such large rats
during these hard times.
Of course, the story that rats have recently killed
three hound puppies in that section is reasonable be
cause the puppies were young.

IN MEMORIAM
In memory of our son, Francis Em
ory Gibson, August 12, 1929-July 26,
1931.
Our song was turned into mourning)
There's no pleasure left in view,
For our thoughts are ever turning
Back to things concerning you.
You will no more toddle by our side
And hold our toil-worn thumbs,
Until our years have been fulfilled,
And Jesus bid? us "Come."
Then we will walk the golden streets
And wander, side by side;
While we were your guardians here,
There you will be our guide.
We will praise the Redeemer's saving
grace
And join the angel's band,
And march forever through the streets
Of heaven, hand in hand.
