VARYING OPINIONS
REGARDING MARRIAGE.
The marriage institution is as old j
as the human race. Opinions concern- :
ing it are as numerous as the Relig- J
ious convictions of the modem world. ?
The. seriousness attached to it should |
equal that which is accorded Religious i
worship for it is no less important, j
since upon the success or failure of ?
the institution rests the future of the j
universe.
While there are numerous reasons '
for marriage the most common one
and also the most beautiful one and
the only one which should receive
sanction is that which is a product
of love. Couples who join themselves
together for any other reason than
this will seldom find in the relation
ship enduring happiness. Unhappy
marriages, of course result even when
the contracting parties have felt reas
onably certain that love was the pre
dominating factor, though this is
less likely to be the case than if they
have joined themselves because of
other influences over which they may
or may not have had any control. In
any event the relationship does not
lose its importance. Happy marriages
have resulted even when they have
been prompted by causes other than
that all-consuming love which is gen
erajly conceded to be the basis cause
for the contract.
Whatever the cause one has no as
surance that it will be successful
other than the determination he ex
ercises, as one of the parties to make
it so. -Successful marriages are the
result of whole-hearted cooperation.
Failures are the result of lack of it.
One party, while he may do much to
ward assuring the success of the mar
riage can not accomplish this without,
the aid of the "?r , I f. Ji's
st . Mil
^ i^ppi5orne in mifla would be
no divorce courts.
"If it is constantly borne in mind
that cooperation in marriage is just
as essentia! as cooperation in busi
ness, there would be fewer unhappy
marriages.
"I TOLD YOU SO"!
There are some people in every
community who get a big kick out of
the expression, "I told you so!" They
are not to be taken seriously though,
for they are not worth much to the
community. They will not participate
in any of the upbuilding enterprises
or activities so that when they fail
to work out properly they can say,
"I told you so." And then they at
tempt to criticize the efforts of those
who did participate. Instead of taking
an active part in these activities and
lending of their time and "ability"
that they may prove successful they
consistently refuse to participate but
do not hesitate to criticize it later,
and, as is to be expected, that criti
cism is usually adverse.
The community must always tol
erate that kind of fellow. But it is
toleration ? nothing more or less. He
is nsver a success in anything for his
ideals are too low, his mind too shal
low, to permit of such progress and
he is so disagreeable the., his fellow
citizens would much rather avoid him
and one who is avoided can hardly be
termed successful.
"I told you so!" What a hateful ex
pression. The intimation the expres
sion carries, is that you had been
warned by the speaker and that it is,
perhaps for that reason that you
failed. Yet no doubt the reason you
did not heed his advice is because one
who delights in the use of that ex
pression is hardly worthy of your
consideration.
If you can not take part in the
activities of your community then at
least do not berate them for their
failures. They might have done bet
ter if you had done your share.
The world may owe you a living
but just try to collect it!
Professional unemployed marchers
will probably remain such for they're
so busy telling the world they are un
employed they don't have time to do
any job-hunting.
Hesdlinfe saya a man committed
3Ukid? because his wife bobbed her
hair. Wonder what he'd have dene if
she'd really done something.
"WE POINT WITH
PRIDE."
Brevard has a splendid football
team. Those boys can play!
Of the five games they have played
this season they have won three, tied
one and lost one; and they have play
ed some pretty good teams, too.
Coach Tilson deserves a great deal
of credit for the work he has done in
training the boys. It has not always
been smooth sailing. He has had his
share of backsets, trials and difficul
ties but in spite of them his boys are
well trained and in excellent condi
tion.
They played a good game Friday. !
And they promise many more this (
season. Supgort them. The money you [
spend for a ticket to their games is j
well spent and it will help them a lot I
THIS QUESTION OF
OVERPRODUCTION.
There are many farmers who re
fuse to devote any time or study to
increasing per acre production on
their farms, since, they say, what is
the use to increase their yields when
the question of overproduction and
low prices is something they have to
deal with every year. They say it is
not that they are unable to get the
production but that they cannot sell ?
it after it is made.
This is a wrong attitude to take. A
little time- spent in the selection of
seed, careful planning of the crop, in
telligent use of fertilizer, rotation
combined with the most scientific and
advanced methods of cultivation and
harvesting of crops will make larger
yields per acre. If a choice must be
made between cutting acreage and the
employment of the latest and best
methods of cultivation, cut the acre
age. More time and attention given
the smaller acreage will offer returns
that are equally great and it is certain
that the less ground one cultivates
the more attention he can give and
the better the yield.
Use business methods in your farm
ing. The manufacturer does not pro
duce if he can not seil. Why should
the farmer?- The manufacturer, if he
finds that in order to sell his pro
duct he must lower his price, he does
so but in order to make a reasonable
profit despite the cut he seeks for
ways and means of securing the max
imum returns with a minimum expen
diture and if he finds this jca n e
onl^through-^- oTldSSic
fðods, concentration of equipment
in order to reduce overhead he does
these things and it is only reasonable
to suppose that the farmer can do
the same thing. Strive to secure the
largest possible yield per acre. In the
long run it will be found far more
profitable than trying to cultivate
larger acreage and neglecting those
things which will give a better
product.
CONDITIONS ARE NOT
SO BAD.
Times are hard. We hear that re
mark every day and we have come to
believe it is true ? most of us have
been forced to believe it. But, as bad
as things appear to some we are in
far better shape than many other
countries.
Recent news dispatches say that
mobs of unemployed are rioting in the
streets of London. They ,do not want
a change of government or some law
repealed ? they want bread. And
they'll get bread somehow. If they
must resort to theft they will. If mob
violence is necessary that is the
measure \hey will employ. When a
man is desperately hungry he will
resort to anything i? order to avoid
starvation.
In this country we have not come
to that and it is hardly likely that we
will. Americans are too independent
to ever reach that stage. They are
resourceful. They have initiative and
that goes a long ways in a depres
sion.
Times are hard. We've heard that
so much that it does not concern us.
We know it. And we know that other
nations are in more desperate straits
than we. There is another remark
that is being circulated in which we
are more interested at this time. It
isn't spoken out loud ? yet. People
seem to fear that they'll get laughed
at. Well, they won't. Come on, yell it!
Conditions are returning to normal ?
And others -will take up the cry, con
fidence will be restored and then you
can swell your chest proudly and say,
"I helped restore prosperity."
Success or failure is largely in the
state of mind. Change the present
state of mind and you'll change con
ditions generally and ten-to-one for
the better. .
And now the Prince of Wales has
weakened ? if that's news ? and is to
be married to Princess* Ingred.
Why worry about how the election
tarn ont? Both parties premise "good
times" if tfcfy pet in.
AN AGE-OLD PROBLEM
EVER PRESENT.
Until the world is able to control
the law of supply and demand there
will always be depressions. It is these
variations that cause them to a large
extent, though a number of other tzc- j
tors contribute their share.
Prof. Einstein made the statement '
some time ago that the depression
through which the world is passing
was caused by the development and
use of labor saving devices which
have enabled us to produce products
more rapidly than they can be con
sumed. In order to operate at a profit
these concerns must continue to pro
duce at capacity and when they can
not find a market for their volume
they must curtail production with the
inevitable laying off of men and a
slump such as we have been experi
encing.
If the professor's theory is correct
it would at first appear that there
is no remedy and consequently little
hope for immediate recovery.
But there is at w.ork now, as there
has always been, things we do not
see; things which in the past have
contributed to the recovery of the na
tion following a slump. What this will
prove to be we can not say just now.
But more than likely it is to come
from a source we little expect.
But there is another factor which
makes us feel that there is no cause
for giving up the fight. When produc
tion has been curtailed for any leng-th
of time, the world to continues to con
sume even though it may be to a
small degree and in time there begins
to be the demand again and business
must be speeded up. Industrialist tell |
us that we have about come to that
point and that there are hopeful
signs.
These things tend to renew confi
dence and in this confidence we can
find a way out.
people who attend political meet
ings ? or any others? and "razz" or
"boo" the speaker prove that they are
afraid to listen to what he has to say.
They know he's rigjit and that before
he's through others will know it too.

"Set your affections on things a
bove; not on things on the earth." Col.
3:2.
Whatever happiness we are able to
get out of life on this earth will end
in death. Whatever we may be able to
accumulate in the way of worldly pos
sessions w? can take only as far as
the grave. Our fame may endure long
after we have departed but we will
not know of it. It is only to the ex
tent that we are instrumental in help
ing others; in showing them to the
path of right, that we will be profit
ed anything.
There are few who do not derive a
great deal of genuine satisfaction
from doing good; and from helping
others to do g?od. There are few of
U3 who would 'fee content to have pow- \
er or riches or fame if these things
did not come through working for our
fellow man. And if one does derive
any satisfaction from these things
the things that do not help others,
that satisfaction is not lasting and
genuine.
God has never promised us any
thing more than bread and water on
this earth. If we receive more than
that it should be a source of genuine
thanksgiving to Him who has provid
ed it for us. To seek wealth will, to
the extent we give our attention to it,
draw us away from the work we are
here to do; to lead others to know the
God we know and love and serve.
We should strive for riches, for
honor and for fame but only the one
kind that we can take away with us.
Winning of souls to God and the rich
es we will pile up in Heaven, fame in j
that we are known for and near for
standing up for right and fcr our
convictions. In our efforts to secure
only those things we will And much
happiness and what trials we endure
will be deemed an honor.
It is to be doubted if anyone is really
more genuinely happy than the man
or woman who devotes the biggest
portion of his or her life to service
for the Master. And that happiness
I is always reflected in the individual.
[ You can see it. What is there that can
bring more happiness than can be de
rived from doing the things He has
commanded us to do? Visit the sick,
give to the needy and teach men the
wonderful things that are to be
found in His word.
One may work for years here on
this earth and accumulate a little
| wealth and then see it all lost to him
-.YS-t-be -twinkling of an eye. But the
the wealth that~we st'J?e"up~ J???v
en through right doing and through |
obedience to His Word can never be |
taken away from us except as we |
will.
Christianity? the kind that is real
ly worth while ? is not to be a part
cf our lives but is to be our life it- i
self. We can not give God our spare
time. He does not want that. We are
required to give Him whole-heartedly
or not at all. If we would be Christ
ians we must be such in the fullest
sense of the word. It is not a spare
time job. And it is a job that has no
varying wage-scale. The reward is
the same to all and therefore the
time we must put into it to get any
reward must be full time. Nothing
else can be acceptable to him. i
Some say it is very difficult for
them to do right all the time. It is.
But the work on this earth that pays
most is the hardest, isn't it? And the
"big-pay jots" require considerable
training and experience before one is
able to command a large salary. Is it
to be expected then that a reward of
the kind He has promised is to be se
cured easily? Vet if one gets into the
spirit of tho work it toon becomes a
real pleasure, despite the trials and
temptations, and while it is delight
ful work it is, of necessity, hard. But
the reward far exceeds the effort we
must exert to get it.
WHY IS A WOMAN LIKE A
NEWSPAPER?
This reason why women are like j
newspapers, given by Mrs. Bruce
Palmer, a. subscriber, won the prize,
in a recent contest held by the Red
ding (Cal.) Courier Free Press:
"Because every man should have
one of his own and not ran after his
neighbor's."
Other answers sent in were:
"Because their work is never done."
"Because both are tactful, desira
ble, interesting and indispensable."
"Because they have forms."
"Because they have bold face
types."
"Because they are easy to read."'
"Because they are well worth look
ing over."
"Because back numbers are never
in demand.."
"Because they are r.ot afraid to
speak their minds."
"Because if they know anything
they usually tell it."
"Because they always have the last
word."
"Because they carry the news
whereever they go."
"Because they have a great deal of
influence."
"You may often disagree with them
but you can't get along without
them."

SOME OF YOU have heard sing

Mrs. Wilkins, has had a curious spell
on here lately and one day she got
furious, like women will do, and
threw the stove out of the window
because it did not, possess the name
"Champion" for its brand ? We have
seen a very distinguished looking fel
low around town lately that possesses
the name of Champion and we won

THE HEIGHT of dumbness is to

of progressing.

I Meet . . .gerring them.
(By Harold Brenrvn)
Everywhere I went I heard peoptt |g?
talking about the Rev. H 6t
Browning. Everyone thought he ~
! on* of the finest men (hey had
! known. He was such a likeable fel
such a good sport He could play j_
better than anyone in the commu
jty; had played football at the Un
?m-sity and was often asked to r?
eree or umpire the local games, whi<
he readily did. ?
I I had occasion to talk to him sev
eral times. He was a good conversa
tionalist, He could talk very interest
ingly about the latest moving pic
tures; knew sports thoroughly ? foot
; ball, baseball, tennis and golf. He
could tell you about the latest books
'and he knew a few pretty good jokes;
good clean ones, of course.
| I decided I liked Rev. Browning
'very much and felt that the people
! of his church were very fortunate ti*
having him as pastor of their church.
| It is so seldom one finds a minister
of this type; one who is a good mixer.
' Then one day I chanced to mention
the matter to Mrs. Parker, a member
of his church. I told her how forte
? nate I considered them in having him
jfor a minister. She smiled and said,
j "Yes, Rev. Browning is a good man
' and a good speaker but he is not a
good minister."
j This surprised me and I told her
so. "I have always thought Rev.
Browning a good minister" I said.
I "The things for which we look in a
minister are not to be found in Rev.
Browning," she said. "I may be
wrong and if I am, I am sorry. I
have my own ideas about the matter
and I feel that there are a number
of others here who agree with me. I
feel that a minister of Christ, should
attempt, in every way possible, to
emulate Christ And for the life of
me 1 cannot picture Christ on the
Goif course, reading fiction, smoking,
attending motion picture theatres and
| refereeing or umpiring t&ll games. I
j don't like to feel that way about it
because I want to like Rev. Brown
ing. I think he is a fine man and
means well. But I am inclined to the
opinion that he is in the wrong place.
He should not be a minister. His ser
, mons are splendid. I might almost
. say thay are masterpieces but they
are, somehow, over mv head and over
! the head of many others in the con
gregation who have not been privi
leged to study the classics and ancient
and medieval history and things like
that which ha brings into his ser
mons."
j "Perhaps," I suggested, "there are
so few ministers of his cype that he
is serving a purpose no other roan
could serve as well. Perhaps people
who would not pay any attention to
the average minister will pay atten
tion .to this one who speaks their
language, jjaybe tneifiTfc ?jtoarsr^
is filling that another might not be
able to fill. When he talks above your
head, perhaps there are others who
understand him who would not other
wise."
! i "Christ spoke in language that any
child could understand. And it makes
no difference how much education a
man has he can always understand
the simple, everyday language of the
common people. But the common
people can understand the language
that is only to be had with a college
or university education. Christ was
i the master teacher. He spoke and foe
j lowliest heard ar.d understood. Is it
not just a3 important for ug today
, that our teachers speak so thnt we
can understand? The most beautiful
thoughts and expressions I have ever
heard vrere in the simplest language.
| "And as for his golf and his ball
games and smoking and theater-go
ing, it may be alright. I am not his
judge in that but I know his words
would have move effect on me and my
life if he lived mare like the Master
than like people of today ? moderns.
Christ did not have time for those
things and if ouj ministers today do
the things that are here to be done ?
visiting the sick, praying with mem
bers of the congregation who feel the
need of that personal touch, caring
for the needy and other things that
are just as much a part of the min
ister's work as his sermons."
! I have often thought of the things
that woman said. And I feel that I
agree with her. Is a minister to be.
censored for indulgence in the recre
ations that are common to the lay
men? Shall he attend the theatre and
smoko cigars or cigarettes?
j And I give my answer, by asking?
a question, "Would Christ do these
things if lie were here today? Would
he have time for these things?"
If, the layman is required to live a
life that is conformity with the in
struction found in the Bible how very
important ;t is that the minister em
Uiate the Master in his even- walk of
life.
THINGS THAT COST
NOTHING

Sunshine. All we have to do is open
cur windows to the cheering and the||
health-giving rays and yet some pre
fer to live in gloom.
Fresh air. A free gift to the coun

we get it by working in our garden
or traversing the golf course; clean
ing the house and doing the washing
or struggling through a "daily dozen"
in the gymnasium; Except that the
former cost nothing and bring great
