C I think I can ssfely say that by all standards , I have ? pretty good { job, being the head of a fair-sized business in Western North Caro 1 i a a, and the hea<fof a world* wide organiza tion with affili ated factories in in most civilized countries in the world. It is a nice Job. It is well paying and it is satisfying. I have been doing it now for the last 16 years. I came to this country practical ly penniless in 1938, and only through the fact that people ac cepted me for what I am, and trusted me, have 1 been able to do do as well and be as happy as 1 am. But there is one job which 1 would much rather have, and that is to spread the gospel of Ameri cansim all over the world. I have traveled many times to every coun try in the world, to every island in the world, and the ignorance that people have about the United States is absolutely appalling. People don't know how we live. They have no idea what motivates us: The worst of it is that over half the world's population is being fed lies about our country through the communist propaganda ma chines from the Kremlin in Mos cow. Naturally, without living in this country, and without seeing what we are like, it is at best very dif ficult to understand us. Really the only thing that people imagine a bout us is what they see in Ameri can films, however, don't necessar ily ,or even at all, show our true character ? our real Christian love, and how we practice so very much what we preach. The pic ture that the world gets about us is completely distorted. Farmers nowhere in the world know how efficient the American farmer is. They don't know that it takes us, to produce the same a mount of food in some cases and for some crops, only half as many farmers as in other countries ? in some extreme cases just about a tenth the amount of farm labor. People nowhere in the world be lieve that the vast majority of workers in this country drive in Lydsf and Parrie Vaughn. Miss Manflorvell who has a position in mHgh, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Nof vell. Mrs. J. D.

Sometimes we do not understand I the rtuon behind many of the) thing* which happen to us. Dur ing times ef grief, disappointment, or great personal loss, we are tempted to doubt the fact that God still cares tor us and that He is still interested in our welfare. Such was the case of a premature- 1 ly aged woman whose story was| told in the Gospel Herald. A little while ago, at the close | of a service, she drew the preach er aside and said, "1 came a hun dred miles today to hear you preach and to speak with you a few words, and to seek comfort from you in distress.. You have known our family many years. You knew my husband well. He was a good man, a Christian man, who lived the life he preached. their own cars to their jobs. Peop le don't believe that most every household has a refrigerator, a washing machine or a TV set, or maybe all of , these things. Such things are luxuries reserved for the few rich in other countries. In most countries it is even im possible for people to understand our political system and bow it works, and that, even though dur ing election time there are politi cal differences between Demo crats and Republicans, when a campaign is over, the people are friends and respect each other. In many other countries, elections are accompanied by violence and hatred, and misunderstanding is carried into private life. For us to have ony two political parties is just fair play. Just as a football game can't be played by one team alone, so it is with politics in our country. One party alone could never play the political game as well as two parties. There is no law that would prevent us from having 20 different political par ties, all fairly evenly strong. Many countries have it, and their Con gress or Parliament is not in a po sition to accomplish one-tenth the good work our Congress performs. Now, there is another thing. Those who believe that we have these comforts in life envy us for them. They fion't know that we had to work formal! these comforts very, very hard ? that we pay tremend ous taxes ? that we give away billions of dollars to the other coun tries, and that what we have is thanks to our labor and our belief in God.

Our oldest son ceased not to grieve for his father, and within two years followed him to the grave. I gave myself to the task of educating the two girls, even going to the wash-tub to sup port them and keep them in school The eldest entered Christian work and was the; Joy of my heart. But a little while ago she fell into ter rible sin, and now it is discovered that the cause was her unbalanced mind, and she grows worte as the weeks pass. But I have comforted myself in my little girl ? now fifteen ? who has been my con stant companion all these years. But of late she has been given to fits of anger and strange uncontrol, and last week, the specialist told tqe she has an incurable form oi insanity. And one of the strange things is that in her unaccountable moments she turns against me, ac cusing me of mistreating and ne glecting her and of being an un natural mother. My heart is crush ed, but I still believe in God, and in the goodness of God. And though I am distressed above measure, I hold fast to faith and my hope of Heaven. And when I prayed I was impressed that if 1 would come here today you could and would help me." For a moment, the preacher was unable to say a word. Never had he come in contact with one who, in the midst of grief and sorrow deeper than death, could stand with such confidence on the prom ises of God. Then he said, "Sister, God sent you here to help me. The very fact that you hold fast in the midst of your many and deep griefs gives me greater courage. I shall preachi the comfort of Christ to those in sorrow and distress as I have never preached Him before. Tou have had the seventh trouble and He has not forsaken you. 1 shall preach a stronger Gospel be cause of your visit today. I cannot help you, but you have helped me." As soon as he had finished speak ing, the good pastor witnessed something that many have seen and few have understood. God, through His infinite wisdom and understanding had somehow sent relief into this grief torn soul. She stood before him now, with tears streaming down her face, trans have Mid just the to tear.
