Sulfur Serves Man From Crib To Grave; Important Industrial Element WASHINGTON?The recent discovery of a layer of sulfur in the earth's atmosphere; comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with the element. In one way or another, sul- ] fur gets into almost every- j thing, the National Geographic j Society says. The average man's body con-j tains about one-quarter of one per cent sulfur. He wakes to the tinkle of an alarm clock whose Steel was "pickled" in j sulfuric acid, a compound sec only only to water in indus trial use. He washes with soap processed with the help of a sulfuric acid, and puts on clothes bleached by sulfur di oxide or dyed with sulfur com pounds. Sldfnr Protects Food Plants He drinks orange juice from trees protected by sulfur-con taining fungicides, and eats cereals that would never have reached his table but for fer tilisers made with sulfuric add. For his coffee, he may take sugar, refined with the help of sulfur, and cream from a cow, which, like every other living thing, requires sulfur to survive. Climbing into his car, he starts the motor with a storage battery containing sulfuric add. A spark ignites gasoline, rtftaed by sulfuric acid; the wheels turn on sulfur-vulcaniz ed rubber. He works in a building that made possible?from the lives that dug the found to the last drop of paint (he interior walls, nom crib to casket, man in a world of sulfur things. Even in death may follow him. Known M hrimstn:.? *n '"lici! writ ers, sulfur is the classical fuel of hell But sulfur is also a constit uent of the heavens. Dr. Christian E. J,-"g'.e and his as sociates of the Air Force Cir culation Laboratory at Bed ford, Massachusetts, recently found that a three-mile-thick layer of sulfur-containing par- [ 'tides exists about 11 miles! I above the earth's surface. The j j sulfur was detected by studies j in electron mfscoscopes Of afr I samples collected by high-alti tude balloons. The air parti cles turned out to have sulfur ! as- their principal ingredient. The particles may help ex i plain "purple light"?the con | spicious disk of red light of j ten seen above the point of I sunrise or sunset. The phc nonemon has been observed I for more than 100 years. Serves As Economic Barometer On earth, sulfuric acid, the king of chemicals, has so many uses that some economists con sider its consumption a valua ble economic barometer, the National Geographic notes. In the early 1950's demand for sulfur was so great that prices rose sharply. Discovery of new supplies in Mexico has since given the world ample quantities of pure sulfur. In the Gulf of Mexico area, sulfur is obtained by forcing superheated water into depos its around salt domes. The sulfur melts and is forced to the surface by compressed air. Elsewhere .sulfur appears as a by-product of copper smelt ing. Sulphur dioxide was once regarded as a noxious material resulting from the conversion of pyrite into pure copper. But copper producers eventually learned that sulfur The rastor s 5 Paragraph K&iSMJWWK^ By JOHN R. LINK Prayer: Give unto us faith ful and obedient wills, our Father, that we may glorify Thy Son, our Lord and Sav iour, Jesus Christ. Amen. When you hear the word Prophet the chances are that you think of some one who can foretell events. In this sense we speak of "weather prophets" in referring to peo pie who claim that they can foretell what the weather is going to be six months in the future. To Foretell is one meaning of the word "prophet," but It is only a secondary meaning. The word comes from two Greek words which mean lit erally, "one who speaks for the Gods." This is the gen eral usage of the word in the Bible. The prophet is God's messenger. He is one who speaks for God. HLs mission was to Tellforth rather than to Foretell. However, he did incidentally do some foretell ing as to what would happen to Israel. It was based on an u:iderstanding of the present condition, much as a physician tells a patient, "If you con tinue eating a fat-diet or drink ing alcohol, you will die in dioxide could be turned into sulfuric acid, a sideline which at times became almost as profitable as the copper itself. A natural source of pure sulfur was found by the sol diers of Cortes, who needed it to make gunpowder for the conquest of Mexico. They low ered themselves by rope into the smoking center of the vol cano, Popocatepetl, and scoop ed up the sulfur in baskets. six months." This means that the proph ets of the Old Testament spoke to the situations of their own day. Following the period of Israel's Glory under the rule of David and Solomon, the na tion became divided. The wor ship of God became neglected while the worship of false gods grew. The people's devotion and faith weakened. Then tragedy struck from without and Israel, the northern king dom fell in 721 B. C. Judah continued as a nation, but suf fered tragedy after tragedy and insult after insult. But worse of all, they vacilated from the worship of God un der good kings to the worship of idols under bad kings. The nation became weak and di vided. It became a prey to all their neighbors and was finally carried into captivity in 587 B C. Why Does God Let This Happen to His People? This was a far more serious ques tion to the people of the O. T. than it is to most of us, be cause they had no satisfying answer in their religion. The generally held view in those days was that All Things Come From God?Both Good and J Bad. They thought that God j sent it all directly upon men,' and nations. If a man pros-! pered and became rich, it was a sure sign that he was a righteous man and that he had God's approval upon him. If a man lost his property or suf-! fered, it was because he had sinned and God was punishing him. If a man or nation j would be good by keeping \ God's law, they would prosper. How then could they account | for the suffering that had be- j fallen God's chosen people? The only possible answer in keeping with the Old Testa ment theology was that God was punishing His people. The same question confronts us today. But in seeking an i answer, we have a great ad | vantage over the people of ? the O. T. days. We Have | Jesus. His Teachings, and the | New Testament. We still believe that God is I concerned about what happens | to us. and that He is actively 1 engaging in the affairs of man. I We still believe that the obed | ient have God's blessings?But j the blessings are of a different i sort. The righteous do not I necessarily receive material j blessings, but spiritual bless ! ings. The good man does not j escape the tragedies of life I because he is good; but he ! does have God with him to I enable him to face his trage ! dies. God stands by him with confidence and strengthens | him. Through his spiritual support God even makes it j possible for his tragedies to I be turned to blessing. His spiritual life is deepened; his character is refined. By bear | ing the troubles that are com mon to man as a Christian he 1 is able to glorify his God and Minister Seeks To Form Christian Union! The Rev. Jesse Seaver of Margaretsville, veteran temper ance crusader and president of the Carolina Christian Union, arrived in Warren County on Uonday where he will seek to arouse interest in the forming of a Christian '' 'ion unit in this county. He said that he expects to be in the county for two or throe weeks. The Carolina Christian Union is a n interdenominational Christian-T emperance Patriotic-Reform organization, with programs to solve "our various moral, social, economic and health problems?with special emphasis on the liquor projDlem," Mr. Seaver said. It is cooperating with over a I score of large similar organi I zations in the state and nation As office^; in the Christian Union, there are over sixty leaders in eight denominations, Mr. Seaver said. These in clude leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nash ville, Tenn., Methodist Bishops, District Superintendents, offic-j ials of national temperance. and reform agencies, U. S. | Congressmen and others. The j Rev. Carson Blanton, Superin witness for Him. Furthermore,! he is able through his suffer ing to identify himself with | suffering humanity. Why Does God I.et It Hap pen? If we become too hasty and arrive at an answer short of what Jesus and the N .T. teach, we make a serious mis take and do an injustice to the God of Jesus. Do not insult God by claiming special favor. The teachings of the N. T. must be studied in connection with this thought.
