EMU MAN 0 AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL Revival To Start At Laurel Fork March 20 On Sunday, March 20, 1956, the Rev. G. Y. Burgin, pastor, and the Rev. G. M. Reynolds, of Black Moun tain, will start a revival at the Lau. rel Fork Free Will Bai.tijt Church, in the Bailey Brar.c'.i ueotion, near Marshall. Everyone is invited to attend. Every school child knows1 that "Columbus sailed thu ocean blue in fourteen hundred and ninety-two." But very few of them know that the elet.rat.on ..i me nnu-nu.m.cuu, -lttur fruited lains, niversary of his discovery, inspired .u ,u a school teacher to write one of our noblest patriotic hymns. In connection with this nation-wide observance, the city of Chicago spon sored the Columbian Exposition; a World's Fair of yesterday which ran continuously for several years. On ithe site of the Exposition magnifi cent buildings were erected. Every structure designed by Daniel 'Burn ham was " masterpiece of planning, struction and beauty. Thousands of people came from all over the wen Id to marvel ni the splendor and stand enraptured before the grandeur of nuch a spectacle. In the early summer of lN'.K!, while the Exposition was still in full swing, a group of teachers and professors from Wellesley, a famous girls' col lege, stopped off in Chicago en-route to Colorado. Among them was thirty-four year old Katherine Lee Hates, holder of a Master's Degree from Oxford, and a professor of English. The young women were profoundly impressed by all they saw in and about "The Windy City;" but they soon left Lake Michigan behind them , thnv continued their journey west ward. Once in Colorado, they made the trip up the famous peak which was named for the American general who discovered it about 1K00, Zeb ulon Montgomery Pike. From the summit, which towers more than fourteen thousand feet above sea lev el, Miss Bates "gazed in wordless rapture over the expanse of moun tain ranges and the sealike sweep Of the plains" that stretched before her for hundreds of miles until they seemed to melt into, the misty blue of heaven. Later that evening, the teachers were talking over the events of the day in the home in which they were eUying in Colorado Springs. The discussion naturally included a com parison of . the Exposition, a man moRtacle. with the Rocky Mountains and the view from Pike's With Our Boys In Service?

"We must match the greatness of our America with the goodness of per sonal godly living." Soon the teach ers were comparing the land of their day with the America of the Pil grims and the 'Jamestown settlers of l(i()7. They spoke of the two stones that played important part in the nation's history the Ten Command ments and the Plymouth Rock, and agreed that if their fellow-citizens could couple the. daring of the pil grims with the moral teachings of Moses, together with the ability of them both to venture into uncharted seas, they would really have some thing in this country that no one could ever take from them. They mentioned the heroes and heroines of the past, from Mollv Pitcher to Barbara Fritchie. and fell that it is more difficult to be a liv ing hero in one's own day than to revere a dead hero from a former day. When one teacher showed the group a small piece of alabaster she had purchased in a souvenir shop, the others talked about "the alabas ter city" where all would be joy and Deace. and where people would live together with their eyes undimmed bv human tears. Later that night, with the events of the trip vividly in her mind, Miss Bates sat down and expressed her dream of a Chris tian nation in these words: O beautiful for spacial skies, For amber waves of grain; For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed His grace on thee; And crown thy good with brother hood, From sea to shining sea. . Before she laid her pen down she had written four stanzas, each clos ing with a prayer for her beloved America.

Quickly tW were accented, quoted, land wide ly acclaimed as an expression of Christian patriotism at its highest and best. Of the many musical set tings, one has endured the hymn tune "Materna" which Samuel A. Ward composed for the hymn "0 Mother Dear Jerusalem." Today this tune and her stanzas are wed ded in the hearts of the American people. The author was honored with de grees from many colleges and uni versities. During her forty-five years as a professor and before her death in 1929, she wrote seventeen books. But she is loved and honored today as the author of one of the nation's finest patriotic hymns. If the celebration of the four-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America did no more than inspire Rev. Francis Bellamy to write the original "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag" and Katharine Lee Bates to write "America, The Beautiful it was eminently worthwhile. Because the Pledge and the Poem will live as long as America lives. than fiaw ' - - Ford's 162-h.p. Y-block V-8 and 182-h.p. Y-block Special V-S now offer new Trigger-Torque power! When you Test-Drive Fords new Trigger-Torque power you're in for a thrilling surprise. For here is power that can get you moving in split sec onds . . . and give you safety-fast passing ability. It has actually been measured that it takes the rear wheels as little as 7100 of a second to react to your touch on the gas pedal. Such Go-power can come only from engines which are more than merely new more than ordinary V-8 engines. And that's exactly what these Ford engines are. They are the result of the most ad vanced V-8 engineering - a result of Ford's experience in building more V-8 engines than all other makers com bined have ever built!

Ford's 1955 engine news resulted from 23 years' experience building over 14,000,000 V-8 engines In 1932 Ford introduced the V-8 engine to the low-price field. And it was only just recently that other makers in Ford's .field adopted this kind of en gine 23 years later. Yet it is interesting to note that the majority of costlier cars were offering V-8's some time ago. Ford's V-8 experience has never paid off better than this year. Now you can enjoy the ultimate in "Go" -new Trigger Torque power. Now you get the greater smoothness of Ford's rigid deep-block design. Now you gain the savings of higher compression ratios. Now you gain the power of the biggest Ford car engines ever. Come in. Take your Test Drive tr day. Ford has much more to offer that's new.
