,'iPage Two THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Friday, October 5, 1962 I I I I MIRROR MEDITATION By EMMITT L. BRINSON With all the unrest and turmoil in the world today — time seems to have sifted, separated and sub ordinated the problems of all na tions to where there stands left in the residue at this very moment only two roads to the future — Communism, or God. The time has long since past when mankind can ignore, turn away or cast aside this issue. The crisis has been mounting for gen erations and the time is here in which decisions must be made as to whether the whole world is to become communist and eventual slavery or choose “God” and free dom. Tlie struggle when touched off could very well mean that civilization as we know it will be completely destroyed. But we can not afford to hesitate. The crisis can no longer be call ed a social crisis — nor can it be called religious, moral, intellec tual, economic or political. It is, in fact, reduced to twO very defi nite issues, “Communism" or “God.” Man is endowed with a need for a cause — a faith and conviction — and it is necessary for him to challenge the problems of life and the world. Comunism acts upon this faith, and they have covered one third of the globe in less than forty years. Masonic . . . Fri.-Mon.

Communism inspires man with a promise “Ye shall be as Gods.” They say it is the alternate faith of mankind and it is the destiny of the world. Man is the sole force of his rational Intelligence. He is the central figure of Creation. He is not, nor has he ever been related to a God. They say man in himself at his choosing can re direct the destiny of the world by reorganizing the world. The com munist project a vision to the masses that their ideals will lib erate man’s mind from the su- pression that has found his being in ages past. The communist’s vis ion is “Man without God.” There are so many of the masses under freedom that avoid God, yet in a juvenile sense, like to feel The famed and versatile actor, Herbert Lorn, as he appears with out the horrifying makeup he wears as he enacts the title role in "The Phantom of the Opera." Mr. Lorn is the third actor to play this monstrous character on the screen, the late Lon Chaney hav ing originated the part in the silent version made in 1925, and Claude Rains re-creating the role in the talkie version in 1942. The new color version of the classic thriller stars Lorn with Heather Sears, and is a Universal-Internal- tional release. Tips From New Bern's Post Offico What's Your Postal I. Q. ?

They venture beyond the light into the shadows. They fail to feel the friendliness, the joy, the happiness, the power of close companionship. Sometimes avoiding these rewards because of the fears of pure man made dogma. They fail to stand up for the ideals and faith of their forefathers and their religion. They back away from God — as if ashamed. These are the people who feel they have been liberated in following the communist ideals. 1.

They accept the challenge to prove they are the master-work of Creation. A Cre ation that has brought a mankind unequal in mind to meet the prob lems of his progress. Communism has excluded God and his law and order of Creation from their Sciences and technol ogy, and appeal to the intellecutal- ly (immature) minds of the student. It has taken the step that has been in the minds of men since the beginning of time, and has become the most revolutionary question in the histo,>'y of the world. “Blan or God?” And what is more it has appealed to millions of modern minds by acting upon what these millions think, but dared not to say. If a man’s mind is the decisive force in tiie world they ask; Where is there a need of a God? Man’s directed thought therefore, they say; is his fate. Why-oh-why can the masses be blinded to the outcome? Where is their reason for the millions upon millions of murders, and countless more of enslaved peoples? Mail Stands facing two paths. They can not now be avoided. There is no resting and facing it at a later date. He can not fight a war as in history past and start off again in the same world diverting the real issue of this crisis. This crisis is “Man’s future without God and Soul” — or “Man with God and Soul.” Think deeply on this; Freedom can not be freedom without soul. Freedom has a need of soul — God’s whole plan for every living Creature is without purpose unless there is freedom. God alone is this guarantor. God and freedom are indivisible. Without freedom the soul shall surely die and mans entity with the Creator is no more. The time is now! — for every God knowing person on this globe to stand up and be counted. To rally around this great nation un der God — and inspire its leaders and those of the free world to act now. /TaiU^ ^CLEANERS 223 CRAVEN LELAND MASON Life Insurance Specialist AGENT Featuring Income Disability 1614 TRENT BLVD.
