They'll Hart' lit lluxtle During the course of the next few weeks thousands of youths will complete their edu cation in the high schools of North Carolina. Much concern is being expressed over the em ployment prospects for these youths. It is true that the demand for the services of rising youth is possibly not as great today as it was back in the war, but there is much to be done and the boy or girl who gets out and hustles will, soon er or later, find employment. They'll have to hustle, however, for the day is about spent when the new employee can .act as he pleases and demand as much as he wants The remuneration may not be great to start with, but the opportunity for advance ment now is just as ereat as it was years ago. The youth who is indifferent to work and who holds the idea that the world owes him a liv ing is inviting unemployment. / lie I'rndiiluni Stciiifl* Hack Subjected to severe criticism for an appar ent policy "1 inactivity, England's Chamberlain is regaining world prestige rapidly We, in qui hasty moments, attacked the old man possi blv without due consideration for the facts he laced and the many problems known only to him and his immediate associates. - Too often wo condemn before we know all - the facts just to realize that we acted in too much haste. As the pendulum swings back to a a few of the facts that apparently escaped our attention at first. It is perfectly possible that hundreds of thousands of lives would have been lost already had England pursued the policies we, at this safe distance, wanted her to pursue as Germany advanced to rape Czechoslovakia. Poland and Finland. In our haste we called the old gentleman yellow. But with the trend of events the world was advised that Britain was not asleep. The inva sion of Norway possibly did not find Britain fully prepared, but once given an opening to strike she did strike and beyond all doubt proved that there was no yellow streak down the back of her leader. Possibly oui own backs we're yellow-streaked all the while, for it was us who refused to al low tlie shipment of armaments to a country that was not only battling against mad men but was also battling for pretty much the same things we stand for and cherish on this coun try. The Flight Of The Tthor Farmer What this country really needs is another homespun philosopher and humorist of the type of Will Rogers, Mr. Doolev, Bill Arp A Southern writer of this sort is Bill Casper, who bewails the mounting troubles of agriculture in ? the April Progressive Farmer: "I can recollect the time when all it took to grow cotton was a weak mind and a strong back. But now look at it. If you don't put stuff on the seed ymi are just as likely as not to get a bad stand. The seed may sprout and come up all right but if they ain't been treated the little cotton is mighty liable to have the props die right out from under it with what she call sore shin?especially so if you have some damp-cold weather after it comes up "Even if you put this stuff on the seed before you plant and the cotton lives to be big enough to chop out your fight has just got started be cause then you got to put sody around it to make it grow, and then start poisonin' to keep : the boll weevil and the flea hopper and the red spider from eatin' it up And then if you ain't careful you'll leave about half of it without enough potash to keep the rust out of it. And by the time you get it made you are so whipped down with all the fightin' you let the fellow in town have it at whatever he wants to give you. "But cotton ain't all. Marthy's complairun' about it bein' so hard to raise chickens nowa days Hawks and black snakes ain't near so bad as they use to be but automobiles is gettin' powerful bad. You could put out steel traps or. posts for hawks but I ain't found nothin' you can do for automobiles. Then for them as lives there's lice and mites and croup and all kinds of things I wouldn't know anything about that you got to be fightin' all the time. F reckon the? chickens must be powerful discouraged. "Then I see by the pieces in this paper that if ?VUU don.t glie your ih.mp vMrimthiiifl fur ujnrins . you ain't going to have sheep very long And I seen a piece by a meat packer sayin' that most of the hogs in lots of places was so full of worms the chit!ins had to be throwed away and that meant they couldn't get as much money for hogs. Now they got a scheme for us to change pastures where We grow hogs so we won't have so many worms but that takes more fence and more fence takes more money and how are you goin' to get more money out of wormy hogs? "Arivhinr il lnnlin In 1111 like if ;vc flin'1 IT"''!' to quit farmin' and go to work for somebody else we sure are goin' to have to buy a lot of medicine for anything we try to- grow." The Old Fathioned Remedy Morcanlon News Herald. There are many students and observers of modern trends who will agree heartily with a Michigan judge who expressed regret that in stead of sending juvenile delinquents to reform schools, he couldn't simply prescribe a hearty dose of "an old-fashioned woodshed, a big strap and someone who would use it with a venge ance ." The jurist said he thought that it would do more good than sending the youngsters away. There was no doubt about the efficacy of the old-fashioned remedy, although psychologists have been known to debate it at length. It is a fact, however, that whenever youthful de linquents are shipped away to places they can brush up on the fine points of crime they didn't know before, almost any course would be bet ter than detention. The Church And Christian Character . . . By REV. JOHN HARDY Church Of The Advent Hope in the Christian sense of the term is not a vague desire to pos sess something or to achieve some thing. It is the confident waiting for the fulfilment of God's promise. St. Paul says "We are saved by hope," and he says again that "Hope mak eth not ashamed." We are saved by hope because it is ()ope which gives meaning to our life in this world. We can never understand anything until we have a clear vision of the goal tow ards which it is moving. Childhood, for instance, interesting and beauti ful as it is, can only be understood in the light of the maturity for which it is destined. Older people can view calmly the difficulties which are so painful and so perplexing to children because they can see them from the standpoint of their own more com plete life. We cannot understand the seed until we see the flower which springs from it, nor the acorn until we see the oak into which it grows. So it is that we can only under stand and appreciate the meaning of life hereafter. If we look at this life from the standpoint of this life we can see only hopeless confusion. We can see much that is good but it will be mixed up with much that is evil. The world which meets our gaze is filled with disorder, injustice, un speakable cruelty. In many cases the good suffer and the wicked escape suffering, the good fail, while the wicked prosper. But when we look into the future, in the light of Christ ian teaching, we get an entirely new point of view. We see the wrongs of this world righted, we see the evil of this world done away, we see char acter purified by suffering, and sor row turned into joy. In other words it is the long view, the view which takes eternity into account, which shows this life to be worthwhile. So, as-has been said, it is hope whidr gives meaning to this life, hope by which we are saved ! And hope, that is, Christian hope. .iivjlrttth- not as:li:im<'H > jt, based on the promises of Christ which cannot fail. The Christian looks ahead with God. He lives in the present, and lives more fully in the present because having his eyes fixed upon the future he can better understand the present and make larger use of its possibilities. He sees life straight and sees it whole, and because he does so, he is unafraid. He luuju not only gt the chM and darkness by which he so often seems* to be wholly surrounded; he looks through them, and his eyes rest upon Him who has declared that He is the light of the world. In that light he sees light. It is said that a traveler in the Tyrolean Alps came one evening in to a village where she saw many peo ple proceeding toward the church high up on a hillside, each person carrying a candlestock with an un lighted candle. On asking the mean ing of this strange procession one of the people told her that the Count who owned the village had built the beautiful church and furnished it completely with the exception of a lighting system. Instead he furnish ed each household with candlesticks. In the vestibul he ligh'.ed his candle from a taper held in the hand of a figure of CbhtfL and entering his pew fitted the candlestick into a socket provided fo rthat purpose. Each worshiper thus furnished a lit tle light The church was dark at first, but as soon as the people en tered it became brighter arid bright er until the great stained glass win dow picturing "Christ the Light of the World," shone with gleaming radiance far and wide over the darkened valley. Before human char acter can become Christian it must radiate with the light of hope The danger of contemplating the Christian character thus portrayed from the ideal standpoint is that we become discouraged and give up in despair, especially when we remem ber that what we are called upon to do is to develop the character which our Lord Jesus Christ manifested when He was upon earth. He reveal ed what God is and what man is meant to be. It is important too, to remember that the Christian character cannot be achieved overnight. It can be de veloped in its fullness only after long, faithful and often painful ef fort. Courage, patience, perseverance will all be required, but no one need be discouraged. The fullness of God's grace is always at our disposal and it is our privilege as well as our re sponsibility to use that grace to the fullest extent. Without it we shall inevitably fail. With it we are sure to succeed in God's good time. The final goal will not be reached until we are received into the life beyond this, that larger life which God has prepared for them who love ..Him- hut faithful ChriB'i8n* J?re. drawing near to it each day, and each day are becoming truer disciples and better representatives of Him by Whose name they are called. The character that is Christian is not only a man of faith, but also a man of hbpe. ?? (Continued) CHURCH NEWS Jamesville Baptist Regular services Sunday at 10 a. m.
