BIBLE THOUGHT I say unto yon, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you For every one that asketh receiveth; and' he that seeketh findeth ; and J to him that knocketh it shall be opened. St. .Matt. 7:7. ' . "It is certainly true that in service to humanity many people have been stirred to .seek a persqnal relationship with God. "It is equally true then no man will keep his experience of having found God who does not go and help others to the same experience. The spirit of God is like electricity in this, that it will .not come in where it can't get out." Selected. Much Building Is Being Done rR!VING along- our highways and streets there . are new homes and improvements to old homes to be seen at every turn. This is" an encouraging sign from every standpoint. ' While we have no statistics for the county, the fact that building- permits for the town of Frank lin issued since, last September first have exceeded $51,000 gives some idea of the progress of building in this community. Besides the acquiring of permanent values and increasing income for those who have made this kind of investment, the community benefit is far reaching. In the matter of loans made available through federal or local agencies, capital is put to work that brings prosperity in many ways. Employ ment of workers in the actual building operations as well as in production of materials many of which are produced locally is an important factor in keeping money circulating. Many of our local in dustries as well as business firms profit from build ing operations, here and elsewhere. From every angle, building is profitable business that radiates its benefits in many directions. Government housing programs have done much to. stimulate the building industries and to relieve unemployment during the last six years. But be yond the creation of material values, the permanent good accomplished in social, educational and spirit uraf benefits cannot be measured. The child that goes to school in a modern building, the family that enjoys the comfort of an attractive new home, and the merchant who does business in a clean new shop; all make better, happier citizens. We hope this healthy epidemic of building will continue until the term "ill-housed" cannot be ap plied to those who occupy our homes or schools. Railroad Accidents Take 25 Lives in Week's Time Twenty-five persons were killed and at least 165 Injured during the space of one week recently when three railroad accidents in the United States made tragic headline history. Pic tured here is the wreckage of the City of San Francisco, which was derailed near Carlln, Nev., causing- 23 deaths.

Every automobile owner knows that it costs more to stop and to start in gas and wear-aud-tear than it does to keep a car moving. Another truth along this line is that once the wheels are going round a team can pull a heavier . load than it can budge when standing still. We all know the story of the two little frogs in the milk can. One, with a defeatist attitude, "gave up arid sank to ihe bottom; while the other, with a more enterprising disposition, kept on kicking, to find, himself in due time, safely silting on a nice pat of butter. ; ' A A. - . A. I. I . . I ..... 4 we have, profited 'by having a number of things started for1 us (hiring the last few years. Since we cannot expect this "pump-priming" to continue in definitely it is important that activities for the common good be kept going. If each in his own field of responsibility, and every associated group should determine to "keep the wheels going round," an amazing amount of energy could thus be created to enable many good beginnings to continue along lines of progress. During the last six years this community has enjoyed a considerable impetus from outside sources, which, combined with local enterprise, has brought many improvements and marks of healthy advancement. In spite of some set- backs and slowing up Here ana mere, let us . keep moving.

In ,a recent address Mr. Aubrey Williams, top man of the National Youth Administration, did a first class yb in disposing of some of the popular misconception of the times, one of which is that people have lost fortitude, have lost the pioneer virtues, and instead of shifting for themselves, now ask aid of government. "Sometimes I hear people say that the old pioneer spirit is gone in young people," said Mr. Wil liams. "When Horace Greeley told t lie young man to go West, he had a perfect formula for saving Horace Greeley from having to think about unemployment. The young man- and his problem .simp ly disappeared in a cloud of dust. The young man had his own trou bles with Indians and drought and sickness far out on the lonely prairie, but he had a chance, and therefore he had courage and drive. "As people often say, the young men of those days didn't march on Washington and demand that the government give them a living. They just went and got it. . . . "But don't be fooled by the- cn- ..1 t ! I I ' . I eiiuniiiieiu ji Historical uisiance. Those old young men did go to Washington and did demand a hv ing from Uncle Sain. They wanted free land. Uncle Sam had land to give away, and land was: what they got. But they can't ask for free land today because Uncle Sam has already given all the good land to their grandfathers. This is not a new point Mr. Williams makes, but it is a good one, and should be made time and again. Present conduct of young people out of work docs not justify any, conclusion that youth has de teriorated. Conditions have chang edthat's what has happened. When Uncle Sam was giving land good land to those who wanted it, the world wa short of many items of food and forest and mine and mill. The farm produc tion possible for one man was small. The machines that makes it possible for one farm laborer to produce today many times what the grandfather oould produce with hand tools, had not been highly developed when Uncle Sam was giving land to the westbound honicseckcrs. But that is not the only change. The standard of living also has changed, More money i required I 1 m. r mMPHM'1 y A & I :. 'whmk,m-J -r. . ..... . ' . v.

Men no- longer can spend weeks' or mouths in moving westward, or in any direction, and live off the wild animals and the fish and the forest fruits they might gather on the trailsides. Today, migration and living cost . money . Young men and all men must live when they live, under condi tions existing while they live. It is a foolish fallacy to say that a man today is les.s worthy than his grandfather because his grand father went out and chopped trees, fought Indians, or broke the hith erto unbroken prairie, or helped build the railroads across the con tinent. Each generation must be judged in the light of its own time and the problems and the possibilities of that time.
