O. aa'aeeMf daaa mtter ante Act imh 4, urn THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1936 The Larger Life This newspaper carried several weeks agp an article telling that the employes of The Wilkes Hosiery Mills, without solicitation, had joined the Red Cross almost one hundred per cent. Red Cross officials state that the em ployes of this progressive firm have led the entire county in every roll call of the Red Cross and that the 1934 roll call was no exception, as the member ships secured from the employes of the Wilkes Hosiery Mills exceeded the re mainder of the county. However, this is not what we want to call to attention of the public. A few days ago F. M. Roop and a large family were left homeless and their personal belongings were destroyed in a disastrous fire. When this news was learned at The Wilkes Hosiery Mills the Red Cross spirit again manifested itself among the employes to such an extent that they, without solicitation from the management of the company, con tributed 3121.50 in cash, six dresse.s, three gowns, ten yards of cloth, three coats, one pair of shoes, eight yards of cloth, ten yards of print goods, one set of cups and numerous other articles of clothing and kitchen utensils to the un fortunate family. Other articles are be ing contributed to this day by these em ployes. We know of no other organization anywhere which demonstrates its loy alty to the unfortunate with greater zeal and pleasure than the employes of The Wilkes Hosiery Mills. Their devotion, loyalty and Chris tian spirit toward the unfortunate re minds the writer of “Life Lost In Larg er Life" as so vividly portrayed by Dr. Hight C. Moore—“There is a creek in Colorado w’hich rises in the Rockies, traverses a spectacular canyon, and dashes bodly into the treeless plains just above Denver, but fails to reach the South Platte River as it did in the days gone by. And here is the story. Fed by the eternal showers, it leaps down the eastern slope of the Front Range of the Rockies over many a foaming ca.s- cade and filmy fall. Grizzles and big horn sheep and antelope (luench their thirst in its crystal waters. Pines, hem locks and firs and aspens crowd down to its banks. Fertile covers flank it right and left and receive its moisture. A magnificent highway winds between the water’s edge and the enclosing cliffs and slopes. Summer hotels and cottages and tents nestle by it. Down through a picturesque canyon it plung es, still battling with the boulders, laughing at frowning precipices, frol icking through narrow defiles, and yg^]-j]ing for the race across the plains and on to the sea. “But no sooner does it dart like a hunted deer from out the peaks into the open of the prairie than it falls into the hands of man. Here it is tapped for a rivulet which runs off into a reservoir. Yonder it is tapped again for a ditch ful which leads off into a little lake. And there is another jet that is diverted into a waterless valley. Thus channel after channel draws upon the main stream until the bed is quite dry. So Bear Creek is the creek without a mouth. “But look at the green and the gold en fields which once w'ere desert be tween Denver and the mountains. In August you have seen the third crop of alfalfa ready for the mower. Corn was growing as if in the rich lowlands. - Oats were ready for the reaper. Wheat was awaiting the thresher. Vegetables of all sorts were growing in luxuriance. Flowers and shrubs and trees adorned the premises of every home. For miles ahead and on every side every prospect pleases. Sahara had been changed into ilden. “Stand at the point where Bear Greek in by»fffO days emi^ed into South Plk^. Does the dry mouth ^m to la- meat its aiidity and call for the ancient companionship of the Missouri and the Missiamppi? ,Ndt^at all. On the con-^ trary, it seems to rejoice ov§r having runs its race so "Successfully and so , soon. For in losing its life in a dtesert, Bear Creek lives in the larger life of irrigated fields and happy homes and a prosperous commonwealth. The Master was right “He that loseth his life shall find it.’^ Old Age Pentions Without attempting to pass Upon the merits or otherwise of the bill which has been introduced by Senator Wag ner of New York and Representative Lewis of Maryland, providing for a na tional system of old-age pensions, we believe that the great majority of Amer icans are in hearty agreement with the fundamental -principles involved. We know of nobody who is not in favor of some effective system of pro viding for those whom in old age, are unable to support themselves in decent comfort. We believe that the plan of building up, during an individual’s working life, a fund to which the worker, the em ployer and perhaps the State are con tributors, which will provide an an nuity for old age, is the soundest po.s- sible way of accomplishing this end. It removes completely any possible stig ma of pauperism, which is inevitebly attached to gratuitous grants of un earned benefits. As to what the amount of such pen sions should be, and whether the com pulsory retirement age should be 60, 65 or 70 years, there is a great diversity of opinion. There is much to be said for the vol untary annuity system proposed for the “self-employed,” whereby the farmer, the doctor, the lawyer or anyone else who is not attached to a payroll, can place a small part of his or her income in trust with the Government, from year to year, to accumulate until the re tiring age is reached, when an income for life may then be derived from the accumulated fund. W e understand such a system has been employed in England for more than two hundred years. To the hopeful elderly persons who have been looking forward to immedi ate old-age pen-sion checks from the Government, the bill as introduced of fers little solace. Provision is made for joint state and Federal relief for those who are practically destitute, but the age at which this relief shall begin may be placed as high as 70 years. This does not bring much comfort to those in their .sixties who have been led to believe there was a chance of getting 3200 a month right now. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN I'KTKR’S RKSTOK.ATIOV r.esson for Kebriiary 3rd. John 21: 11-9. Oolden Text: John 21:17. Our lesson is found in the vivid last chapter of the fourth Rospel, which scholars consider an appendix. The scene is the Sea of Galilee. A large population at that time was engaged in the catching and marketing of fish, a business that proved to be profitable. The story opens with Peter’s proposal to six fellow-disciples to go afishing. We are then told that they toiled with the net through the night, but without success. In the morning the risen Jesus stood on the beach and talked with them. At first they did not recognize Him, but when, at His direction, they cast the net at the right hand side of the boat, and suddenly found it full of fish, they at once knew it was their Master. Immediately Peter, with charac teristic abandon, drew on his shirt, fastened his girdle, and plunged into the water, the others following in the boat, dragging after them the net now so heavy. And now came the memorable conversation between Jesus and Peter with respect to the depth of the latter’s affection. Note that to him who had made a threefold denial, oppor tunity is now given for a three-fold confession. Peter was offended that the Master should pre- .sent the query, “Am I dear to you?", a third time. But he had no reason to be thus grieved in view of his triple, traitorous denial. Jesus here gave His disloyal apostle full opportunity to be destortd to the fullness of His confi dence. And nobly did Peter rise to the occasion. With great earnestness he cried, "Master, you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me.’’ But notice how Jesus insisted that Peter's love issue in practical action. “Feed my lambs” he three times demanded. Well He knew that mental attitudes not resulting in deeds are unwholesome. Therefore He commissioned Peter to be a faithful pastor or shepherd of the frail Iambs in His fold.
