GOLDEN TEXT: "I press on

the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus."? Philipplans 3: 14.

Ephesians was written by
Paul while he was a prisoner
in Rome, addressed to the
Christians of the church in Asia
Paul directs attention to the
Gentiles walking "in the vanity
a t their mind," advising his con
?werta to a higher life. "It is not
? filing that Christians in the
first century, just emerging from
paganism and surrounded by
degrading customs, should need
such warnings and admonitions,"
says Charles R. Erdman, but, he
adds, "it is humil latin gto ad
mit that believers of the present
day, with all their advantages
?f inheritance and culture, need
similar exhortations."

to be "new" men in "righteous
new and holiness of truth." What
effect was their religion if they
were no different than in their
days of paganism? What advan
tage is our faith to the modern
professing Christian who lives
and acts with no difference in
his life from that of an un
believer? Hypocritical religion
will not avail one in the last
judgment, "Righteousness in
man," says Dr. Andrew Murray,
"includes all God's will for our
duty to Him or our ftllow men;
holiness, our relation to himself."
In his practical suggestions
Paul directed attention to manv
little things of conduct, nor was
he wrong in doing so. "It is
usually little things that cause
us to stumble," comments J. H
Jowett, "I do not fall over a
beer-barrel, but I slip on a piece
of orange peel. I have never
atumblad over a bale of cotton,
but if one flag in the pavement
projects a third of an inch I may
be brought to grief. I can avoid
the higher things; I am careless
about the trifles." How true is
the thought Many lives are
wrecked and ruined, physically
and morally, by negligence to
wards little things ? which even
tually grow!
One of the so-called "little
things" against which all should
be warned is taking the first
drink. So often the first taste
awakens a desire for more and
then mort, until the victim
finally realizes that he, or she,
is in the clutches of an awful
habit, which, if not broken, will
ruin him, physically, morally and
economically.
In this country, it is estimated
that there are 40,000,000 adults
who use alcohol and that a large
percentage of the 40,000,000 are
either alcoholics or are destined
to become alcoholics. Money is
being spent for alcohol which
might better go into construc
tive effort. Time is lost by work
ers and families are denied the
necessary things of life. Drink
causes much home friction and
is a leading factor in broken
homes. The addiction of a per
son to alcohol finally breaks
down his, or her, character and
can lead to total personal col
lapse.
There is nothing more helpful
in reinforcing the foundations of
one's Christian character than to
live with a consciousness of the
presence of God. Someone has
suggested that he would live
rightly should "practice the pre
sence of God." That is. one
should realize always that "Thou,
Lord, seest me." If this is always
kept in mind, we will be careful
of all of our . deeds, realizing
that none of them is hid from the
scrutiny of God. Thus, many of
the things that we might con
sider important enough to cause
us to compromise our characters
assume a different stature in the
light of the Lord's presence.
Finally, Paul advises the new
believers to "give thanks" to God
through the medium of Jesus

Democrats To
Gather Nay 20th
Raleigh ? Governor Cherry
told the state Democratic execu
tive romrnii. tee that "if measures
are adopted in congress that our
people do not like, there will be
abundant time to frame our
issues and make our plans before
the November election."
The governor followed this ob
vious reference to President Tru
man's civil rights program with
the admonition:
"A high degree of patriotism
and a reservoir of common sense
are needed during the current
days. . . I am one of those who
confidently believe that . . . the
Democratic party through the
years has proven to be the best
vehicle of good government that
has served our state and the na
tion."
The governor was the only
one at the committee session to
make a reference to the civil
rights program. One committee
member, however, asked that the
governor's statement be included
in a resolution praising Cherry's
administration. He was quickly
out of order by Chairman Wil
kins P. Horton of Pittsboro.
The committee then quickly
got down to the work for which
it was called into session, set
ting a date for the party's con
vention. As expected, it decided
to hold the state convention in
Memorial auditorium here on
May 20. Precinct meetings were
set for May 8 and county con
ventions for May 15.
PUP CAUSED IT ALL
Kane, Pa. ? Swerving his truck
to avoid a puppy which was play
fully running alongside, Donald
Bathrust, of Clerenton, Pa., caus
ed the truck to skid and it col
lided with the car of Vernon Lud
low, of Bloomsburg, Pa. The
truck then left the road and
erased into the home of Kenneth
Kemp, knocking out the front
steps and a porch support. The
puppy disappeared.
Christ. "A cheerful face, a con
tented mind, a grateful heart, be
long to those who give their con
fidence, and love, and loyal ser
vice to the Lord Jesus Christ,"
rightly says Dean George Hod
ges. A true Christian is not a
grouch; he works for a better day
in faithful assurance of its com
ing. but he accepts the condi
tions which confront hfm with
out complaint or distrust.

There's New Clamour in the Way it Goes
Take the glamour of its tapered
gracefulness for granted, if you
will. One glance tells you It's tops.
Take an inside peek at its newly
fashioned interiors ? and see if you're
not dazzled by the luxury that greets
your eyes.
But wait ? just wait ? till you learn
what makes this banner beauty run
off with the year's high honors on
the highway. Dollars to drachmas ?
you'll fairly itch to get in and GO!
For now your right foot commands
a Fireball power plan; that's as
eager as a panther on the prowl ?
yet is so quieted in purr and pulse
you barely sense its telltale throb.
Now you slip through traffic or light
out cross-country as relaxed as a
baby with his bottle ? In a body that's
bountifully bift, cosily cushioned.
and insulated against the usual
noises of traveling.
Now you experience the first scien
tific system ever devised to shield a
car's ride against road noise, shake
and the vibration build-up that pre
viously took advantage of an auto
mobile's tendency to play sound box.
Now you ride the washboard roads
and cobbles as though they were
carpet ? thanks to coil springs all
around ? plus extra - low - pressure
tires, carried on Buick's own wider,
more stable Safety-Ride rims.
And last but best, if a Roadmaster's
your choice, you can enjoy the really
effortless driving ? in a new kind of
drive that not only frees you of gear
shifting, but that doesn't even shift
itself!
It's Dynaflow Drive* ? a drive that's
devoid of all halt, lag and hesitation
through all speed ranges ? because
here, for the first time, the power
plan titteljdoe* what gears used todo.
Fact is, you'll find the new Buick
sparkling with more than a score of
new advances ? in ten brilliant
models that span three series and
give you your choice of three wheel
bases and four power ratings.
So why dally? Here, certainly, is the
dilly of the year for smartness and
roominess ? for the newest in driving
ease and riding relaxation ? and for
all those basic bounties that are
forever Buick's.
Place your order with your dealer
now ? whether or not you have a car
to trade ? and hasten the day when
you'll reach those motoring heights
you hanker for.
