C., Friday, Nov. 27, 1953 ■r jj J& Some folks have the idea that the job of town manager for Zeb ulon is just a dull grind, but tjiey reckon not with-the various duties that befall Willie B. Hopkins. One which he is willing to delegate to somebody else is substituting for the Water Commissioner and inspecting the Zebulon water tank. RELIGION IN AMERICAN LIFE: Capital Suggests American Heritage This is the fourth of a series of articles written on Religion in American Life by ministers serving this community. Fr. Koch is pastor of the Wendell and Wake Forest Catholic par ishes and editor of the North Carolina Catholic. A visit to the famous monu ments in our national capitol at Washington, D. C., dedicated to Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and other great Americans, al ways leaves a serious religious thought with the tourist. Inscribed on these marble walls are noted passages taken from their writings or speeches. De pendence upon God, the Author of liberty and respect for His moral law, is a continual throught running throughout these treasures of American principles. They are inscribed forever not only upon the marble walls of these monu ments, which the American peo ple have erected to their memory, j but also in the hearts and minds of every grateful citizen. These writings serve as an eternal re minder that no matter how power ful, how wealthy, how industrial ly great we have become among the family of nations of the world, HERE IS WILLIE B. EARNING HIS PAY Jimmy Cline, foreman of the crew which cleaned and repaired the tank, captured the likenesses above with his faithful baby Brownie flash camera as George Robinson, field representative for the Universal Construction Com pany, showed the town manager and the editor of the Zebulon Record around. all that we have rests upon the foundation of faith and Christian morality. In our great prosperity and ad vances in education and other pro fessions, it is easy for all of us illliS§liii»r ■ ■■ Fr. Frederick A. Koch to forget the fundamental cause of what we now have and enjoy. Are we looked up to by humanity because we can product more ma chinery, educate more people, live on a higher standard of economy Thco. Davis Sons, Publishers Standing on the catwalk that circles the water tank are Robin son, Editor Barrie Davis, and Town Manager Hopkins. Seated in front are Richard Read of Milwaukee, Wise., and Mark Jennings of Mem phis, Tenn. The minstrel-appear ance of their faces is the result of working inside the rusty, muddy tank. than any other nation in the world? No. While these things are wonderful, yet the cause of them is of primary importance. Religion is out most vital national asset. The history of nations teaches us that it is spiritual losses rather than economic depressiont tha leads to moral bankruptcy and national ruin. While civic author ity may have its voice from the vote of the people, this authority must be recognized as coming from Him upon Whom all men depend. Unless religion with its binding force in charity and justice sup plies the foundation of law and authority there remains only hum an interests as the unifying ele ment of society. As the great Americans has de clared, there is no group of free men without the sustaining force of religion. Our government re ceives its most effective support from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who taught us to render the Caesar the things that are Caesars’ and to God the things that are God’s. Our American traditions are abundant evidence of this religious influence. Eight times during the term of his presidency, Abraham (See RELIGION, Page 8)
