Time Tor Unity Those critics who have suggested to the world thai they knew better how to run the United States, how to handle world problems and build a new world should now recognize the bare facts that wen so plainly advanced by the recent election The American people once again have spoken and they made it quite clear that they do not want a Willkio. a Hugh Johnson, a capitalist or a Wall Streeter to run their government. Possibly some of those who have been pointing out all the faults and with holding any worth-while suggestions these past seven years Will do well to change their course Surelv. friendly criticism will be welcomed, but sad as it may seem, much of the criticism of fered in the past was bitter and was offered in the hope that something might be torn down "rather than built up. There are those who have willingly experienced losses just because they wanted to make the government and its agen cies show up in a bad light Those lawmakers who have contributed lit tle to the cause of government should also sit up and take notice, recognize the wants of the people and act accordingly There may be those who conscientiously object to the admin istration's program in its every detail. They are not to be denied that right But just recent ly the people have spoken, and those lawmak ers who would still defy their constituents would do well to get out of their places of pub lic trust. North Carolina could take a lead in this connection today If big business will only turn from its stub born perch and quit sheering; if big business will only try to cooperate with the govern ment and the people better times w ill follow, no doubt. National unity is the key word today The people have expressed themselves The dis gruntled will have to-ytcbl their positions and get in line if we are to march forward and solve the problems as a inad world presents them f.eorgc I'i l k II riles One George Peck writes from Park Ave liue. New York "It's 1mn- to quit -it,nun,! In.v. iness." Following the recent election, it would ap pear that it is about time that business quit abusing the government. Mr Peck also says, "No one maintains that our business and economic system as it was up to 1933 was perfect But we can resume improving it as we did for 150 years prior to 1933." Yes, for a century and a half we had been improving our busmess and economic system, but just as regularly as the decades rolled around, the millions of poor suckers who had been taught and advised to save his money lost it m busied banks and during man-made panics Business, nurtured and coaxed by the tariff in the early days, had grown to full stat ure and was growing larger with each year prior to the early thirties, but the trend for the common man was downward Mr Peck should be able to understand that it was about time after a century and a half to take some action to improve our business and economic system But there are those who would hold on to those old ideas which make it legal for the strong to prey upon the weak and unlawful for the weak to plead with the strong N Jim Sign* On Charlotte News. Jim Gjimmond. who lives in southeast Lon don, is signing on again. Jim was a machine gunner in that other orthodox World War, which would make him over age fin active service in this wai But it is to the army he's going And for reasons that arc quite clear, white clear to Jim Grimmond, and that wjll bo as easily apparent to anybody who Hears-his story^ For the Grimmond home where Jim lived with the Missus and their ten children had been struck by a bomb a week or so ago, and completely demolished. That was bad, but as the Grimmonds understood it, simply the for tune of war as wai is fought these days. And they all had been safely underground when it happened Jim arranged "foi five of the children, three boys and two girls, to be removed to Canada where they would be safe. That would at least take a part of the heavy, frightful load off his and the Missus' minds. And so, with tearful farewells and brave assurances all around that the family would regather when the Jerrys were disposed of the children sailed to the New World. They never reached it. Six hundred miles .out frOm England their refugee ship was tor pedoed at night- without warning in a boil ing sea She went down fast,, and of the 293 persons who perished, five were the younger children of Jim Grimmond. So Jim, beyond fighting age or not, is sign ing on again and hoping that things will turn out so that he will have a chance to take ven geance on'grown men for the cruel deed to his children. The Legion Ami !\utiomil Unity Christian Science Monitor. William Green's declaration to the Ameri can Legion's Boston convention that the Am Tncan Federation ol Labor now reverses its long-time opposition to the Legion's prepared ness program, and even endorses conscription, is another evidence of national unity in the de ? louse effort. Not the least of such evidences, too, is the Legion's unhesitating urging of every "practic able" aid to Britain, bringing this largest of the organization of former fighting naen into Inn' with policies previously enunciated by both Wendell Willkie and Franklin Roosevelt. This, taken with the Legion's resolution that if Americans must fight they should fight before a foe has an opportunity to attempt invasion of our shores, represents an enlightened change of previous Legion policy which, lias, in p? sence, favored a strong home force and fight ing only on American soil These evidences of unity, together with the Legion's promise of continued combatting of subversive groups at home?a program inci dentally that needs to be tempered with wis dom have contributed to making the twenty second annual convention an occasion to be remembered. The Legion can make a further contribution - to the Nut ion by setting aside its pension de mands during this time of ascending defense costs and inevitably sharp tax rise. Such a move would confirm the impression conveyed by the Boston convention that the Legion is grow ing up into a thoughtful and constructive in fluence in American life. The humblest citizen of all the land, when clad 111 the armor of a righteous cause, is strong er than all the hosts of error.William Jennings Bryan. Christians Spiritual Defense Program By REV. Z. T PIEPHOFT Pastor. Presbyterian Church Who is there among ii& who has j thought much about the blitr kriegs of Hitler and those who hire ; in fear of them know that it pay's to U prepared before he strikes. I j wonder if you have thought as much ? lately, if at all about the blitzkrieg , of God. I sometimes wonder if Hit ler didn't get his idea of this from the Scriptures themselves Jesus said | that when He returns He will come j as a thief in the night In an hour j that ye think not He is coming again What could be more unexpected or as sudden as all this0 Are you pre pared for ^ch a coming? To be prepared means that we j must have an Advocate;, a go-be tween, a lawyer to plead our case | before Him when He comes This is i the Christian's first line of defense. The Christian's second line of de ' fense in his preparation to meet God is To Prepare a Case to Plead Before j God. 1 When a man transgresses the law i and is apprehended, he immediate- j ly secures a lawyer to represent him 1 as we have just said and the lawyer j part is to prepare his case to present1 before the judge when'the trial takes I place. The criminal and the lawyer j do nut just walk carelessly in on the day of the trial and stand noncha lantly before the judge and trust to chance for an acquital. The lawyer i prepares his case in fear and trembl ing. H<* calls every available witness to testify as to the character arid rep utation of his client Listen: In God's word we are ac cused, 1. Of being lawbreakers. 2. Of the abuse, misuse, and misappropriation I of funds, time and talents. 3 Of trea son to God 4 Of being a traitor to His cause. 5. We are accused of be I ing ungrateful, disobedient, and sin ful. 6. We are accused of the cruci- j jixmil.; of Christ afresh every day Now if J his is true, and it is as true 1 as God is true, then we had better not drift along, day by day. trusting to luck, or to culture, or to our mor ality. or to baptism, or to our church membership to save us. We are on our way to meet the Judge of all the earth and we had better be prepar- j ing a case that will hold water, one that v\ ill stand up in the presence i of Goct There is only one pass-word into the presence of God; there is only one sure foundation upon which CHURCH NEWS Jamesville Baptist Regular services Sunday.
