Solving hit it re Problem? In some quarters an alarmingly dark picture i.s being painted fur the future Possibly there is a foundation for such a picture, and because there 1- we should start preparing todav in an effort to lighten some of the ugly marks and scars that are likely to stare us as a nation in the lace in the not-distant years First, we must recognize that our economy is nothing more than a branch 011 the life's tree We can save for the proverbial rainy day, but unless we have our ideas and ideals deeply root ed in the ways of the Almighty our savings will vanish and our economy will be nothing more than a passing fancy While wv are not following the same pat tern in effect a couple of decades ago when greedy men tried to gobble up the good earth, we are on a course that can offer little hopw if and when trying days descend upon us. We ate not working for the future, we are digging foi; the profit today and ignoring the price we will have to-pay for that profit tomorrow ? ? - ? We talk about defense, bid we are really more interested 111 getting something that will make a jingling sound 111 our pockets How many towns, cities and communities have offered to Cooperate with Uncle Sam for defense and de fense alone'' We look at defense in terms of dollars and profits that we as selfish individuals will receivi hoping a little that it will do de fense-some good. And then mere aie tno.se who an- making "big'' money in the high places and in the ranks of luboi and who are throwing their earnings to the four \t mds. h\ ing for today only and car ing little about tile future Maybe savings will go. arid they wilt have the satisfaction of know ing that it was thev who threw then own earn ings to the Wind . A change is almost certain at some time in the distant future The question now is are we tuning our lives,, mindp and wants to go along with that change, or are we weakening our selves to the point where we will not have the moral stability and the determination to with stand change and adjust ourselves to some new orders, the kind of which no man can foretell? It will not he amiss to build a reserve of pa tience, and a will to accept without complaint any change that may come our way It is sad dening to think what will become of our na tion if it is called upon by circumstances to with stand what the patriots in the 1770's and what the South in the reconstruction days withstood. Looking at the world today, it isn't as fool ish as some may think to consider such a pos sibility and make ready to meet an emergency, the seriousness of which can only be equalled by war itself It may be on a different pattern, but the days ahead are almost certain to offer some problem that will test out metal And then we can pray for a little of the determination, moral stamina and faith that carried our fore fathers through Valley Forge and through the reconstruction days following the War Between the States. Pay In Thf Army Anti Factory The Army man geti> $21 a month. The worker gets the highest pay on record in tht world. The pay variation has been pointed out tunc and again as an argument for jailing men who will not bow down and agree to industrial dictators. In the fact place. Army men average well ov n $21 a month They get their food, clothing and lodging In stark reality, they can save ev ery penny cash they receive and still live bet ter than many of those who are drawing "big" pa\ in the factory. Our sympathy goes out to the young men who were forced to quit their tasks and enter the Army. It hardly seems the democratic way to defend the country, but in accordance with lav. all men between 21 and :;j years of age aie subject to call, and as strik ing as it may seem, most of those entering into camp life come from the ranks of working men and common-forgotten laborers Until the government conscripts all men in the high places as well as in the low places, it is hardh fair to condemn the low class for wanting as much as the high class liiiltlil Ur ( /('(ill Christian Science Monitor. A bill lias b?'?>n introduced into the United States Senate by Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas, which provides 1 Complete prohibition of any and all sales of intoxicants of any alcoholic content what ever "at or within" any military camp. 2. That the Secretary of War shall have the power to establish a dry zone" about any camp and- the Secretary of the Navy shall have simi lar pow< rs relative to the Navy and Marine camps li The Secretaries of War and Navy sliall be given control over zones (extent of which is to be deterirflned by them) in which they shall prohibit prostitution This is a reasonable and honest bill. Il would lemove from the hands of local authorities the responsibility for policing camp areas and place it on military shoulders Its provisions are prac tically identical with the helpful and wholesome regulations of 1917-1919 It deserves passage without delay Young Americans merit this ?nruti'i't him '?1 The Story Heliiiitl tin- Tartu Down across tin- years farmers have point id out thai they have been forgotten by tin* administration. The real story is that the far mers have forgotten themselves. Industry, constituting only ten per cent of the population is 8.r> per cent organized and draws more than one-fifth of the income, ac cording to the latest available figures. Labor, constituting 60 per cent of the population is 75 per cent organized and draws 67 per cent of the national income. Less than one-third of the farmers are organized and their share of the national income is just a little over ten per cent That's the story behind the cold facts. No book can be so good as to be profitable when negligently read.?Seneca. "Living Newspapers" By REV. Z. T. PUPBOIT Pastor. Presbyterian Church 2nd Cor "Ye are Epistle*?writ ten not with ink?on tablets of atone ?But?By the Spirit of the Laving God on the tablets of the human heart?Known and read of all men " Dr. Shepherd spent his life as a medical missionary to Turkey in Ahio. During World War No. 1 amid the awful scenes of the deportation of the Armenians, for whom he had labored and suffered so long and so faithfully, he died, a victim of Ty phus fever and a broken heart Of Typhus fever, because of his m in is term ^o those who were strick en with thBkdreaded disease: Of a iJMrcn heart, because his spirit was torn with anguish as he saw the wreckage and ruin wrought among his beloved Armenians by the cruelties of war A poor Armenian once said of him, I have never seen Jesus, but I have seen Dr. Shepherd." One of his fellow missionaries wrote of him?"I instinctively think of Jesus when I think of Dr. Sheph t id, for during his many years i anion gus. his lips and his life were always expressing the Holy Gospel we profess. He was indeed a living epistle of Christ, known and read of all men." Throughout the ages the followers j of the Risen Christ and the people of God have been likened unto many I things? j e.g. We are spoken of as. Corn rip ening for the harvest; the Cedars of ) la^banon. as stars fixed in heavenly places, as the sun climbing the heav I ens. enlightening the world, as puri fied gold fit for the king, as lovely jewels flashing forth tints of love liness. as vine branches richly laden, | as pomegranates and figs sweet and refreshing, as having the strength of I the lion and eagle, as the light of the ! world and the salt of the earth. But J it was left for the Apostle Paul to give expression to the most singular, most impressive, and perhaps the most comprehensive title of them all, for in addressing the Corinthians, Paul refers to his converts as "Liv ing Epistles," i.e., as living letters written not with ink on tablets of stone, as were the Ten Command ments, but written by the Spirit of the Living God on the fleshly tablets I the human hearts, which letters laic known and read of all men - Lam sure that the thought in the [mind of the Apostle Paul when he I wrote these words was just this That l just an a letter reflect* the true char j actor and reveals the interests and actions of the writer, just so. does the human heart upon which God has written through the medium of the i Holy Spirit mirror and reflect some thing of the beauty and majeaty of God Therefore .of all the worthy names by which Christians have been call .-d?and of ali the analogies drawn from nature and elsewhere ? this name and this analogy is by far the most comprehensive of them all, for it is a well proven fact that we Christians are living letters Men lead us like a book, Tliey read us each day just as they read their daily j newspapers. Thomas F. Opie says, "Men see written upon our countenance and upon our personal characters the | things that have impresaed them selves upon our hearts and minds eg As they look at us they see the marks of Greed, Gluttony, and Self istn. or, they see the marks of Love, goodness, truth, beauty and holiness. Each day as we walk the streets of Williamston and drive over the roads of Martin County our deeds j and interests are seen and known and read so to speak by all men Our lives reveal these things just I as truly as a newspaper reveals the .news of the day Next week is known to us as Pas sion Week This, the week before Easter Sunday, is one in which our minds and hearts usually are filled with things spiritual. As usual the churches are planning their annual noon-day services in the Watts Thea tre This year they will be held at 10:30 a. m instead of at 12 noon. During Easter Week Christianity will be on parade, then as never before, we will be seen and read by jail men I am just wondering, that , as the days of next week come and 'go, what will the Easter story be ac cording to you?
