The redeemer would be known by a number of names. “Wonderful, Coun sellor, The Mighty God, The Ever ■ lasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” His reign would be eternal and justice and judgement were to result from his authority and power. Such was the bold prophecy of this Israelite pro phet more than seven hundred years before the coming of Jesus Christ to i the earth. a ' The prophet foresaw an era of peace picturing a time when the wolf and lamb, the leopard and kid, and calf and the young lion would exist • amicably in the same world. We sheltered and unfamiliar with the dread of wild beasts hardly grasp the ' striking meaning of the picture used. a o The world’s thinking at the present ’ time has been prepared by the grow ing influence of Christianity for con sideration of peace on earth and good will to men but in Isaiah’s day his idea of a warless world was revolu tionary. The world is suffering today be cause of the ravages and destruction during the two great World Wars. Fi nancial and material resources were recklessly expended in a non-product ive rampage of death and destruction. Beyond the material damage, the moral fiber of mankind suffered seri ously as a result of the passions and hatreds stirred up during the contest. Sorrow and misery visited millions of homes. Should not all this impel man kind to the abolition of war. The individual rational mind of ten questions the necessity fot' men to be enemies. Christianity for cen turies has been advertising the bless ings and necessities of human brother hood. Why is it that nations and races cannot be mutually helpful rath er than destructive? Millions of individuals see the fool ishness and wickedness of war but the political machinery of the world is beyond the power of these single units flf -humanity to reconstruct and control in the interest of their own welfare. The function of war in civilization has been to settle disputes between nations. No other good purpose is served by such conflicts. As a method of deciding disputes war favors the strong, regardless of right or merit, merit. Surely, it is reasonable to ask that justice and righteousness be the basis THE CHOWAN HERALD, KDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 22, 1949. . for adjusting international disputes. * It is a fairer and better method not to mention the fact that it operates without waste of lives and treasure. Christianity should exert -itself to prevent war. To accomplish this we must provide peaceful machinery to perform the functions of war, that is, for the arbitration or judicial determ ination of international disputes. The nations of the world are trying desperately to set up the machinery for lasting peace in the world through the medium of the United Nations. At time, it seems, their efforts will be in vain because of the bickerings and spirit of antagonism exhibited be tween the member nations. However, it is a part of the Christ ian’s responsibility in our day to help keep the hope of international peace alive and to do everything possible to assist in the smooth functioning of any agency whose ultimate aim is world peace. Chowan Farmers Vote For Cotton Quotas In Election Only Approximately 50 Percent Eligible Cast Ballots Chowan County farmers approved marketing quotas in the referendum held last Friday by more than 88 per cent. Approximately 50 per cent of the farmers eligible to vote in the referendum went to the polls and vot ed. A total of 171 voted for quotas and 22 against. The eligibility requirement, that on ly those who produced cotton in 1948, lowered the number of those eligible to participate.

An era in human history is the life of Jesus, and its immense influence for good leaves all the perversion and superstition that has accrued almost harmless. —Emerson.
