Two Great Men
Greatness is measured by character and
Jr>
J. • •
'' achievement and today we wish to discuss
IWefly the lives of two men who by this
yardstick may be classed as great. Their
names are well known throughout the
world—Will Rogers and Wiley Post,
r ii;' v Ihe airplane crash in Alaska that took
r^^ away from among the American people
these two men cast a gloom over the na-
i^; r tion. Possibly there was no man more
^ widely known than Will Rogers and cer-
’ -tainly no man not in public office that was
V C as popular. He was inimitable as a writer,
~ and as an actor on the stage and screen.
- He personified clean and constructive hu
mor. His writings contained more every
day philosophy and common sense than
^ the average man would think and yet the
' truths he put across in the form of wise
cracks were readily understood, although
an individual was not always aware of the
fact that he was reading philosophy.
He filled a place in American life that
iv_ no other man could. He was a diplomat
of the hi^diest type. He had contacted all
our greatest men in all walks of life and
yet* was able to mix with all.
Wiley Post was perhaps America’s best
aviator and certainly the most daring. He
chose to make trails through the air in
such a manner as no other choose to at
tempt. His death is a great loss to avia
tion and the industry to which he was so
wholeheartedly devoted. Although under
a handicap by the loss of an eye h-is other
eye saw sights no other man has been able
to see. He blazed trails through the
stratosphere that will mark the beginning
of travel with a speed almost unbelievable
to the average person.
Thus by both measurements of great
ness, character and achievement. Will
Rogers and'Wiley Post stood foursquare
\ among their countrymen and a place in the
history of their country will be filled by
the two men who were so opposite in many
characteristics and yet were brought so
closely together in-friendship.
Better Business
While it is the general rule to blow up
things that look good and create a great
stir over nothing in order to produce an
optimistic fpjling that has a hangover
like a “suy ./head drunk,” we wish to cite
a few figures in cold hard cash to show
that business, generally speaking, is on the
upgrade. And do not be afraid that we
are going to credit the improvement to any
one cause or scheme. There may be room
for argument as to the cause of. improve
ment but there is certainly none as to fact.
A very definite improvement that any
one who gets outdoors can discern is in the
autamobile business. There is a great out
put of new cars this year. General Motors
ecunes out with the announcement that
$60,000,000 wiD be spent on expanding its
plant equipment. Ford is well on the way
to pass his goal of a million units this
year, all of which means good jobs at good
wages and more money with which to buy
and keep the wheels of industry hum
ming. . - -
Perhaps the figures issued a few days
ago by Bureau of Economic Research
of the Department of Commerce give one
of the reasons for the bueaness pick-up.
The national income—^which means the
total income of everybody who received
any income at all—rose in 1934 by 11 per
cent over 1933. In figures, the national
incqm» was $49,440,000,000 in 1934, as
. against $44,431,000,000 in 1933. I>rt of
this was, of course, due to the distribution
of rdief funds, which were inCHne for
^those who received them. Relief pay-
l^aents, however, amounted to only about a
of tlie increase. The rest came from
hil^ier tuxDov^.in'rprivate
Sti»i«OuCWrong»^^‘'
The series of petty robberies in this
city recwitly indicates that one or more
getting started out wrong in life.
Recorij^ there have been six stor^brMks
in the Wilkesboros. The total loot possi
bly woul dnot exceed $25, but the principle
of stealing is there just the same.
From ah indications it,appears that the
store breaks have been ^e wmrk of boys. _
A crinainal who knows the ways of crime^
and robbery would have known betteiv for
instance, than to break into a newspaper
office, and certainly would understand
that no buriness house will have on hand
large sums of cash where it omi be stolen
simply by entering the building.
The guilty parties are getting nowhere
except to begin a life of crime that must
eventually tnd in degredation and the
penitentiary, and all because they sought
a little easy mony by breaking into some
establishment. Here’s hoping the police
can get hold of the thieves before their
career is farther advanced. It could be
that some punishment now would mean
the salvation of their lives from crime.
We do not expect the guilty ones to
read these lines, because it is a fact that
half of those who would steal so promis
cuously cannot even read, and subscribers
of a family newspaper are certainly not
the type that would commit larceny or
robbery.

The world mourns the tragic passing of Will
Rogers and Wiley Post in Ice-covered Alaska.
Will Rogers was the nation’s idol. Patrons
of the press, radio, stage and screen loved him
and laughed with him. When the depression
was at its worst and despondency swept the
land, Will Rogers brought smiles to faces and
hearts with his homely philosophy. He knew
and loved folks, enjoyed their fellowship and
was perfectly at ease in the presence of king
and potentate, pauper and beggar.
Post was not a humorist but a daring, cour
ageous flier with a record that surpassed that
of Lindbergh in many respects. He did much
to advance aviation and bring the peoples of
the world in closer harmony.
When the news broke that they had been
killed, it traveled as fast as if the President
himself had met with disaster. Newspapers
issued extras, broadcasting stations interrupted
set programs to “tell the world’’ that two
idols had fallen—idols in the sense that they
were loved for their humor and philosophy,
courage and daring.

BARNABAS
Lesson For August 25th—Acts 11-19-30—
Golden Text; Acts 11:24
Barnabas was a truly noble soul, a beauti
ful incarnation of the generous spirit. Dr.
Jowett aptly called him "the friend of the sus
pected, the helper of those who had failed, the
advocate of the second chance.”
Consider his unusual friendliness. He cham
pioned Paul when that great soul was under
.fire, coming to his defence at Jerusalem, and
later seeking him out In Tarsus, and bringing
him to Antioch. He later came to the defence
of Mark, his nephew, -with -whom Paul had a
falling out. Taking Mark with him to Cyprus,
Barnabas gave him a fresh start
Then bear in mind the willingness of Bar-
iiabas to occupy a subordinate position. There
was no trace of jealousy In him. Th© order of
rank Is at first “Barnabas and Paul.” But when
later it becomes “Paul and Bsrnabas” we hear
of no word of complaiet from the lips of the
latter
Note, too, Barnabas’ generous habit of en
couragement. He well fulfilled the meaning of
his name, “the son of consolation.” He was
a man who radiated cheer and hope, whose
presence was sunshine.
We are impressed also by the practical lib
erality of this saintly figure. Having far more
than mere sentiment, he displayed his Christian
seal not simply In cheerful words, but In loving
deeds as well. For example, he sold his farm,
and gave the money to the Apostles. (Acts
4:37)
Finally,, bow ample is the hospitality of this
man’s vision! The story of Barnabas Is a aig-'
niflcant reminder of the splendor of the mis^
slomury enterprise. He and Panl were the first
to make a real Impression for Christ on the
eoid surface of il» heathen world. And -there
is reason to believe that this initial mission
ary adventure had its origin In fhe room;
