Tuesday, April 7, 1936 The Uncertain Fate of Man Nothing can be more interesting than the life and destiny of a man: and perhaps the history of the late Bruno Richard Hauptmann will fdl as large a volume as the life'of any other one man. He was born in Germany a comparatively short time ago; grew up as a bady boy at home and in his community. We can never understand why he should develop such a disposition in his early life; so far as history is concerned, it could not have been charged to heredity or environment. Yet he committed a number of criminal offenses while comparatively a young man. The World War t ame on?caused by his own coun try?and this may have had some influence on his thinking and acting. Certainly, it may have caused him to place a low value on human life and increased his greed for money. So far as we know, he was what we consider "a good soldier"; that is, he was imbued with the desire to kill as many of the enemy as he could, which qualifies him to a page in the his tory of war as a good soldier. Going along with him, through his training in the arts of a mechanic and builder, and through his mar riage, we find him drifting for some years; drifting with people of questionable character, unfailthful to his wife, frequenting and patronizing gambling games; going on, he becomes tin' designer and architect of a crime on an extreme plan. With plenty of nerve he undertakes the carrying out of one of the most hein ous crimes that man can commit, which was finally solved and which caused his execution. When we think of this career, in which a man drifts from one continent to another, we are made to won drr upon the uncertain fate of man; and bow sad the end of a man who is disobedient and neglectful of the duties laid out for him. It is also a mystery as to why a guilty man wilt demand so much of God, whose laws he has griev ously offended and disobeyed. When we review the life of Hauptmann, we should be reminded of the im portance of bringing up our children in the way they should go. The Road to Communism One of the stockholders in the American Tobacco Company recently proposed that the salaries of the company's high officials be reduced and the wages of the workers be increased; but, since the men who get the big salaries fix the rate of salaries and wages, the proposal went unnoticed. The company says it is putting in claims for six or seven million dollars in processing taxes |>aid to the government. This is a clean demonstration of the power and disposition of wealth; and if we have Com munism in this country, that will be the cause. When the hungry are crying for bread, they will not long endure for the rich to shout give them a stone. A Thought tor Easter Htrlir lsd^er-Advance From the beginning of time, men have hailed the coming of Spring as the resurrection of the earth from the death of winter. Long before the Christian era began, every religious cult celebrated in one way or another the returning season of growth and sunshine, with its promise of life beyond the grave. If the dead trees and grasses could so demonstrate immortality, why should man alone die to rise no more? In a few days the whole Christian world will join in testifying, on Easter Sunday, to its faith that death is not the end, that life goes on forever, in new and unknown but more glorious forms, that we earth bound plodders can no more imagine than can the maple tree, or the wisteria, shedding its scarlet robe of autumn under the killing breath of winter's frosts, imagine the glory of the springtime garments of green which it will wear in its new life. The belief that this is true, that there is a life be yond death, a life of release from toil and sorrow for such as truly believe and strive to live up to their be lief, has been the most |x>werful force in the history of our modern civilization. In this faith men have found a common tie of mutual service for the com mon good. All of the concepts of duty, honor, self denial, self-respect and loyalty upon which great na tions have been founded derive from the faith which is the very root and heart of Christianity. ]-et no one say that the faith of our fathers is out moded, that it no longer has its old power to inspire our lives. We are living in troublous times, and those of little faith are crying aloud that the old truths have failed, the old beliefs are dead. But even as tbey scoff, spring brings her jierennial symbols of eternal life. And this coming Easter Sunday millions upon millions of believers will meet to testify anew to the truth that their faith is a living faith, that is still rules the hearts of men. IN MEMORIAM In iwmory of my dear friend. C. T. Roberson. 1 I'm not a poet, but just a simple child; Though words seem to flow in that trend; Words that are weak, but how they be mild. Yet not as mild as that dear friend 2 He was a warrior, a servant of God, An earnest believer of truth. He was a true friend wherever he trod. A man with the heart of a youth 3 His presence was like a rose on the lawn. That had recently sprung in June 'Twas gay and interesting from eve 'til dawn. As the melody played in tune. 4 How well I remember he used to say, "How many feet in that plank?" How pleasantly he smiled at my de lay For an answer, my mind was blank. 5 He was pleasant and full of tender play, Those qualities linger hence. He was the same deur old Charley each day. Whether in my presence or thence 6 But now, dear friend of man, you are away. Away up in heaven so bright; Absent from us, though with Jesus you stay. Teach me, Lord, that I may do right. 7 As I knew you, you are far away. Though I cherish mem'ries of past My prayers shall be uttered day after day, Hoping that we shall meet at last. Sincerely, RALEIGH HARRINGTON. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of my dear father-in-law, A. W. Bailey, who de parted this life a year ago, March 30th. No one knows how much we have missed you, and the tears that we have shed. The sound of your voice and the prints of your feet, we will not for get. So sleep on dear father, sleep on; for some day we hope to meet you in that bright and happy land. Mrs. Seth Bailey.. > IN MEMORIAM In memory of my daughter, Mrs Fannie K. Bagley Davis, who de parted this life March 30, 1935. We have had one year of sorrow We have suffered' the awful loss, But for the sake of Jesus We will try and bear the cross. Her mother, Mrs. Iola Bagley. (Paid advertisement) NOTICE North Carolina, Martin County.
