.voiding Accidents
, . .. ,
Mishaps, other than highway ac
cidents, have cost the lives of sev
eral highly respected citisens or
farmer citizens of this community,
"lis year. The numoer of, serious
ccidents, some of them t fatal,
hich occur unnecessarily, is stag
Ting te the imagination. )
Statistics show "that a fatal ac
cident ia occurring somewhere in
the United States every few, min
utes during every dex of the .year,
this does npt , mean much, ex
pressed In these words, but when it
comes nearer home and involves a
member of your own family, it is a
tragedy beyond the power of words
to describe. ' V
'Home accidents rate surprising
ly high on the list of fatal mishaps
in the Ifniir States. We are "all
well aware f the terrible toll tak

- One recommendation we make to
all those who might read this edi
torial is that they seek to remove
sources of danger in their home and
its surroundings. This may not be
the most profound' advice you. ever
received, but it may also save your
life, or the life of some one else,
and the reader would do well to
think a little about safety in. his,
or; her, home as a means of pre
venting tragic accidents. .
How Much , .;.
Do You Read?
A survey conducted recently by
an educational institution indicates
that nearly half of the American
people do not read books. This,
despite the fact that more than half
of our adults live within a mile of
a public library.
: Presumably, most Americans are
' satisfied with what they know and
do not bestir themselves to find
out anything new. It may be, too,
that radio and television broadcasts

The making of book has become
a mass-production enterprise in the
United States. Unfortunately, many
of the books published- are not

It is strange that nothing is re
corded in the New Testament about
John's aoUvities as an apostle after
Christ's ascension, except that ho
ia associated with Peter im the
event immediately; after Fentscost,
and is -also mentioned by Paul as
one of the pillars of the church
at the time of the Council in Jeru
salem. . ','-''V-;"'"..-.' V'
' However, five books in the New
Testament are credited to the. pen
of . John. ' These are- the "Fourth
Gospel,"' the three epistles of John
and the' 9ook- of the ReVelatfon.
AH were very probably written
near the end of the first century
when John- was a very old man.--
Thie spiatlea, like, the Gfispel, of
jQhn, ,exprea8. profound; thought in
simple words, dwelling on the spir
itual elements in religion : rather
on the- external and emphasising
faith and love, obedience and
knowledge, light and life.
The first letter of John, which
forms the basis of our study this
week, is the longest of the three
and ws probably written; in Eph.
aus. It is, a solemn warning: to
the Christians of that day, thai
tiiey- could- not-hold- views of Christ
which are untrue and, at the same
time, have fellowship with God
through Christ. ' ": :;
: John was endeavoring to comT
bat the heresy of the Gnostics be
cause he realized what a deadly
heresy they taught wheii they said
that one living in sin might, still
be "spiritual" and a "child of God."
In his letter, John shows very
cleariy the relation of doctrine and
conduct. i
j John, has become known: a the
Apjostlo of Ikv". because hf
Stressed Christian love moi?e- tbaf
any other New Testament writer.
A careful reading of John's writ
ing will certainly reveal the em
phasis he places- on- love. Love is
f the theme of this letter. Twioe- in
this first epistle he says that God
is love, and several times he de
clares that love is the evidence that
one is born of God. f
John's description of a Chris
tian, as outlined- by Marthar Tar-
bell, is as follows: "Uod is re
vealed in Jesus. To know what
God is like. , look at Jesus. To hear
God's message, listen to Jesus. If
we desire to please God, to be a
Cbiistitai Myi!tW tfssw.- And 11
this sums. Op -a; life of loVe lived
daily amonai ' our fellows, loving
not in word, neither- with- tongue,
but in deed and in truth.
"Confession of faith generosity
in service, all the godlike things
named, by Jesus in the Sermon on
the Mount are implied in our brief
texts from John's first epistle.
Hereby know we love,; because he
laid down hi life for us; and we
ojught to lay down our lives for the
brethren. Find God through
Christ,- and show your Christianity
by daily living lives of love."
Are you a Christian? Do you
bear any of the marks of a Chris
tian ? Percy J. Grabb, in Wes-
leyan Methodist Magazine, once
wrote: "You have all heard of
Alexander th Great. H conquer
ed country' after country, in quick
succession. We are told that he
had in his army a soldier whose
name also was. Alexander,
"One day he sent for the. man
to appear lief ore him. - When he
came, Alexander said to him: '1

the first is that you are a great
coward, and whenever, a battle is to
be fought, you either get out of ft
altogether, or yon go, somewhere
out of danger; and the other thing
I have beard is that you. bear the
same name. as. myself. ,tfi , ,:

things: either you' must become lit
brave soldier like Ijtbilr 'gefteraK-Slways-
in the forefront of the bat'
tie, always in the thick of the fight,
always, at the post of danger; or, if
you cannot do that,., you must
change your name; you shall not
disgrace the nam of your master.

of us, young and: o! sjlke, and he
