WITTER...Editor and Publisher CLAUDE L. ALBEA...Associate Editor CHARLOTTE, N. C„ THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1940 BIBLE THOUGHT “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be re* moved, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.”—Psalm 46: 1, 2. OUR THIRD-TERM PRESIDENT The news of President Roosevelt’s re-election is not news now, for almost everyone had it before they retired Wednesday morning, it being just a matter of the ma jority to be rolled up. It will run between four and five million in the popular vote with around 500 electoral votes. He will have a Democratic Senate and House, hence the guidance of America in these turbulous times is in his hands. The people of America, those who re-elected him, hope and believe that they have chosen wisely. His past record is 100 per cent American, and while at times the wisdom of some of his actions may not have been con curred in, he has steered the ship of State wisely and well. The CIO lost John L. Lewis as its head (maybe), with the election of President Roosevelt on Tuesday, and the Mine Workers may conclude to do without his services as president of that or ganization, so it would appear, that Mr. Lewis will soon be a “has been.” The Food Show opened at the Armory Auditorium Wednes day night with a large attendance and a splendid array of ex* hibits and amusement attractions. Scheduled for a ten-day run, Manager Vogler expects the attendance to break all records and the show to be the best ever. North Carolina rolled up its usual Democratic majority al lalong the line, and while there were good men on the Republican ticket, it seems the time is not yet ripe for a political change in the Old North State. South Carolina—well the outcome of “political contests” in the Palmetto State is a stereotyped phrase. Hie Central Labor Union Skating Center will be defeated Armisitce Day, at Cordelia Park at about 4 p.m., with fitting ceremonies. This is going to prove a great amusement asset for the children of that section of the city. EVEN STEVEN Two casual golf acquaintances were walking toward the green when they sighted two women coming over a hill. “1 say,” remarked one of the men, “here comes my wife with some old hag she's picked up somewhere.” "And here comes mine, with an other,” retorted the other, icily. The East Texas oil field covers 132, 000 acres and has 26,000 producing wells. The field is 10 years old and the wells have produced in that time 1,460,000,000 barrels of oil. The greatest need of those European warring nations is common sense. -uvm« apiniT or BEHocmcv “FID every American home and every American school room with the living spirit of American democracy—with be lief hi ourselves, with belief in one another, with belief in our country and its future. “Say with your children—and think—and mean while you say it—and live every word of this declaration of Amer ican faith: “ ‘I pledge allegiance to my Flag And to the republic for which it stands; Onp nation, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all.’” THE BIBLE MY MOTHER GAVE ME Give me that grand old Volume The gift of a mother’s love. Tho* the spirit that first taught me Has winged its flight above. Yet, with no legacy but this, She has left me wealth untold, Yea, mightier than earth’s riches, Or the wealth of Ophir’s gold. When a child, I’ve kneeled beside her, In our dear old cottage home, And listened to her reading, From that prized and cherished tome. As with low and gentle cadence, And a meek and reverent mien, God’s word fell from her trembling lips Like a presence felt and seen. I can list to that good man yonder, In the gray church by the brook, Take up that marvelous tale of love, Of the story and the Book. How through the twilight glimmer, From the earliest dawn of time, It was handed down as an heirloom In almost every dime. So I cling to my mother’s Bible, In its tom and tattered boards. As one of the greatest gems of art And the king of all other hoards, As in life the true consoler, And in death ere the Judgment Call, The guide that will lead to the shining shore Where the Father waits for all. Dear readers, if you wish for the faith like your mother’s faith you can find it where she did—in her Bible. That Bible she gave you was not intended to be a keepsake, but to be a source of faith to you as it was to her.—Exchange.
