SECTION TWO By WILBORNE HARRELL M Let’s" keep the proper perspec- while we eulogize and com memorate and glamorize the Civil War. The glory and pag eantry of ,war is but the super ficial stage setting for the bloody conflict that is taking place backstage. All wars are criminal,, and the Civil War more so, because it was fratri cide on a grand scale, It was a house divided, families against families,! brother against brother. The, Cause for -which the South fought and bled and lost, was a lost Cause before the fighting began; because slavery, no mat ter how 1 benign, is a social prac tice that civilized men frowned on. Same historians claim that slavery was not the major rea son for the Civil War; but it was the major irritant that made the War possible.

Ml the br’ar patch,” and I am not attempting to disparage this magnificent and four-year long commemoration of this bloody conflict that split a great na tion asunder. It was a period of tragedy, heartbreak and mis guided allegiance—a period |hat was not a credit or a victory, either to the North or the South. It were better had we left the dead on the various battlefields rest in peace; it were better had we let the past bury the past. By all means let us celebrate the Civil War, but do it in humility and with humbleness in our hearts, and with a prayer that never again will there be a Civil War—nev er again will this House be- di vided against itself. STREET SCENE Viewing a window display decorated with power—Jehovah God. Most of us when we were small were told of God. We were brought up in an environment that be lieves in Him, therefore most of us have adapted to this belief. I believe everyone some-time in their life has a little inkling of doubt as to the existence of God. Most of the time these thoughts are pushed out ( of our minds with the idea that it is Western star Roy Rogers spreads the good word for your local dealer! “Right now he’s making it easier than ever to own America's easiest riding truck.

T; , PERSONAL NOT®—Like Edgar Allen Poe, I write-better lit up. But I do it with OVERHEARD A’This country was built on the jbrincipal that the man who wonted had sub stance, and the who didn’t work, had nothing.' Today, it r the reverse: Tite man who works has nothing, there are | too many things, like high tax j es, to take it awgy from him. But the man who doesn’t work, has it made. Why should he work?—Look at the many gov ernment handouts that are his for the asking”. No compromise with communism! wrong to think such things. It has been said, however, that when we doubt we are growing spiritually. God gave us the power to think when He creat ed us in His own image, and He wants us to use our minds to think through these things. God cannot be proved in ma terial things, but He also cannot be disproved. If science can’t prove the existence of God, how | can we be sure He exists? We j have to have faith in Him.

You see a beautiful ■vorld, budding trees, green grass, blue skies, birds singing sou see a huge mass of flam ing gases in the sky called the sun. If that sun had been placed closer to the earth we couldn’t exist because of the in tense heat. If it were further away we would freeze to death Who then but God could have created it in such a wonderful fashion to give us four seasons to enjoy. Look at your body, it is a great and perfect organism. Everything in it works together to keep you living. But what made you live. Who but God breathed the breath of life in vou? Can you .see life? No. ’ Then where did it come from? Life had to be created, and who but God could 'create such a wonderful thing? Yes, there is a God.
