A Monument To (>od Anil Man Standing beside the road in the thriving lit tlc Mavf-d"n'-1 cnmnuimlv -a;, n nmiiurnent to God and man. the new house of worship of the Macedonia Christian Church will be dedicated Sunday morning. When so many arc scheming throughout the world the destruction of life arrrt property, it does men's souls good to see- the banner of the Christ rise up and command attention, and to know there continues an abiding faith in the principles propounded by the* Master on Cal vary. And, too, it is encouraging to know that in a world when so many minds turn to the passing fancies of the day that there are those who would sacrifice and work for the enduring things of life. About a century ago. a little group, or may be just one or two persons, established the Mace donia Church, recognizing in their action a guiding force for mankind Their action has' been rewarded many times and their efforts repaid many times over in the rich heritage that has been enjoyed by each succeeding gen eration in the little thriving community about nine miles from Williamstoii on U. S Highway No. 17. Surely, the people instrumental in the new building program, are adding to the rich ness and fullness of the efforts of those who so bravely founded the institution in the long years since past The handsome s'ni' t1"" "" " ?" lent monument both by day and by night as a part of God's Divine Realm, reflecting the fore sight and efforts of a faithful group who would enrich their community and keep alive a burn ing hope for that which is good and acceptable in the sight of both the Almighty God and all righteous thinking men. Surely, the church will light the pathway ol the weary traveler who perchance passes that way. and give peace and joy to those who would bow down 111 humble worship within its portals And when man made things fail and the future is throttled by gloom, surely the investment in the house of the Lord will offer solace to the weary and pay div idends for many down througlf the years to come. :?? ;??=?? Idol II omhi/i While millions 111 other lands bow down be fore their pagan gods we 111 America do a bit of idol worshipping- ourselves. We would not take away from the dead Mrs. Clark Gable a single honor or hold back the smallest tribute. But there were fifteen young men in the serv ice of their country riding the plane that ciash ed and carried 21 persons to their deaths. The press of this nation, operating true to form, almost limited the passengers of the ill fated liner to Mrs. Gable, her mother coming in for a bit of attention by mere relationship. We have spent the resources of the press and much time worshipping Hollywood idols and overlooked those who are offering their lives in the defense of home and country. Men of the United States Merchant Marine who are sacrificing their lives in sight of our own bor ders are measured in the cold term of so many ships of so much tonnage. There were those of us who even condemned them a short while ago because they pointed out the growing dan gers from luiking submarines and asked for risk considerations and provisions. If food will win the war and write the peace, the task of getting the food to the hungry is equally im portant as the growing of the food and those _effecting the deliveries are deserving of recog nition right along with the uniformed heroes and Hollywood idols. Indirect Crime Reports from over the nation are referring to indirect crimes committed in the name of greed and selfishness. So far no one has been called to answer before the courts. But before the Almighty God there are those who by their ' greedy action are making hunger and starva tion more real for others. Normal supplies of foods and other materials are being exhausted by over-buying. Those who have money are stepping into the markets to fobUe up the stocks, leaving those without suf ficient cash to make advance purchases to get along the best they can with what they can get. The person who tries to feather his nest either in greedy profits or by "hogging" the markets is, when measured in the eyes of com mon justice, little better than the common thief He may, indirectly of course, aid in starv ing the less fortunate. v Want may come to our doors, and however trying it may be there'll be some consolation in knowing that our lot is no worse than that of millions of others. And then there'll be peace of mind in knowing that no action was taken at the expense of our fellowman that we might fill our own bellies. ? //<?'* Still There The common people are asking these days if Robert R. Reynolds is still in the United States Senate? So little has been heard from the bray ing gentleman of late that the question is in deed plausible. But on the other hand one should knoW that Reynolds has a first thought for self-preservation and that he would not be running around inspecting military bases, in dangerous lands and during dangerous times. A roll call in the Senate a few days ago show ed that "Our" Bob, much to everybody's regret, 1, till there I'radical Education The colleges are calling for students, telling them at the same time that degrees may be had in three years. Theory is needed and even dsired, but in calling the lads to college, the professors could accomplish much by teaching them it will be necessary to keep cars off, the campuses. It would appear that education can assume commanding leadership in meeting many of our war problems in addition to concocting bomb formulas and new gasses. It could prove to the world that the college boy's car is more valuable to the farmer who must haul his prod ucts to market than it is to a college shiek. This is a period when practical education is needed about as badly as the theoretical. Hilly Mitchel Charlotte News. Almost five years have swept by since Wil liam Lendrum Mitchel died. The doctors pro nounced the cause of death as coronary occlu sion, which is as good a medical name as any for a broken heart. Billy Mitchel came home from the War in France a Brigadier General, on his chest a col lection of medals and in his head a profound conviction that he next war would be fought and largely won or lost in the air. He was an out spoken man. Where another officer might have turned away wrath with a soft answer, Billy Mitchel waded in with u utorm of invcc live. "In future wars," he warned, "it will be too late to organize an air force after the conflict begins." His superior officers, commonly referred to as brass hats, wouldn't put up with this con stant harangue. They sent him packing off to Texas, demoted to the rank of colonel. There Mitchel simmered until 1925 when he accused the War and Navys Departments of "almost treasonable" behavior. He ignored a stern re buke. and when the Navy dirigible Shenan doah, crashed a few years later, he repeated the phrase. This time they got him. Court-martialed, suspended, he later resign ed. In civilian life he continued to hammer away on the theme of a separate command for aviation. Billy Mitchel was one of the first to grasp the full significance of air power. He foresaw the day when 100,000 Germans with air super iority could drive four times as many British troops off the Island of Crete. He foresaw the sinking of battleships like the Prince of Wales by bombers and torpedo planes. He foresaw, htrt tsiuld -not make others see also. He died, broken in rank, disgraced. Now that Billy Mitchel's predictions have been substantiated in blood, even in American blood, the Senate Military Affairs Committee proposes that he be returned posthumously to the rank of Brigadier General. There's no harm in it, we suppose, but this recognition, like most of our awakening, comes alas too late. Freedom And ff 'ar Roxboro Courier. "If we win the war and lose our freedom in the process," says President James Bryant Con ant, of Harvard University, "we shall have fought in vain." There is no danger that the people of the United States will lose their freedom because they have to meet the stringent requirements of modern warfare. We have never been able to understand Hie fear, constantly reiterated in certain business and industrial circles that the American way of life will be cast aside during the struggle for existence. Our democracy will emerge as strong as ever and the right of the people to govern themselves will be as certain as ever. We are somewhat afraid that the scary boys in the intellectual and economic spheres are not thinking clearly and that what they fear is the loss of certain privileges, which, in their mind, have become identified with freedom. For example, they might be interested in a high interest rate on invested capital or in the right to mulch the public out of millions through manipulations and chicanery instead of serv Remember the Place Called Calvary By REV. Z. T. PIEPIIOEF Pastor, Presbyterian Church "War has come. TTie United States has been attacked. 'Remember Pearl Harbor' has become a slogan! The coming of this war has placed the j Isolationist in a difficult position. Most of them are ready to agree that j ing to do but fight it out to the bit ter end. But a leading isolationist! journal still insists that the war is an i unnecessary necessity. It contends that the war has come because of the foreign policy of the United States. It insists that if we had followed a different policy we would not be involved in the war. It is difficult to understand how those who condemn so bitterly the policy of Britain and France at Munich could urge a great- ! er Munich upon the United States! of America. If the United States had betrayed Britain and China and Rus sia, slie could have purchased peace : for a time. But. it would have been | an armed peace in which the victors in Europe and Asia prepared for the inevitable struggle with the United States. And the United States would have become a partner to the fatal policy by which the Axis powers have permitted to destroy their vie- j tims one by one. "In the meantime we might point out that the isolationists have an iift pressive record of opposition to ev ery step in which those who under stood the present crisis sought to i prepare the nation for the inevitable struggle Thanks to them Guam was unfortified. If they had had their way the neutrality law would not i have been repealed, the destroyers would not have been sold to Brit ain. The diaft law would not have been passed, the lend-lease bill would have been defeated, and the Navy would not have been strength ened. When war came it caught us off guard and partially unprepared. But if the isolationists had had their way the war when it came would have found us as utterly unprepared as we were when Germany overran France. The war which America is fighting is not an unnecessary ne cessity. It is the inevitable conse quence of America's conviction that, the Axis powers must be defeated before the foundations of an ordered wrold could be laid." (Holmes Rals ton.) "Remember Pearl Harbor!" But remember above everything else the place called Calvary. You may be an isolationist ip your views con cerning America and the rest of the world but there is no such thing as an isolationist viewpoint concerning Calvary. You are either for or against the Christ Who suffered there, Just as America could have pur chased a temporary peace for her citizens as Britain did at Munich, Jesus could have purchased a tem porary peace for His followers if He had bowed down and worshipped the j Devil in the wilderness. But a tem porary peace had no appeal to Him ?He kne wit was the place called Calvary or nothing. He chose Cal vary and permanent peace and vic tory. Remember Calvary. America must not forget Calvary . . . The Greeks had what they called a torch race in which each contest ant had to run with a lighted torch. The winner of the race was declared the wlMherdlly 1! he fmishbd the | race w ith his torch still burning. America may win the race for ai moments and become the greatest military nation upon the face of the 1 earth but if she does not end the race with the torches of Freedom. Justice, Mercy and Christianity still lighted she will still be the loser. ] Remember Pearl Harbor!" "Re member to do your duty!"
