“Now abideth faith, hope, love, these
three: and the greatest of these is love,"
said the Apostle Paul. (1 Cor. 13:13) It is
god to hold close to the things which abide.
So much in this world is as the grass which
' witherth away. ‘The pomp and pride of
yesterday are one with Ninevah and Tyre.”
These are days of decision for Christian
people How will our children and grand
children look back upon us and the things
> we advocate today? It is good for us to
- make decisions according to the things
which have abiding value.
There are those today who emphasize
the importance of faith. We must hold close,
they urge us. to the faith once for all deliv
ered unto the saints. Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday, today, and forever. Chris
tianity is not a vague sentiment of good will.
; It is a wav of life and a system of revealed
. truth which came to the knowledge and
' understanding of men through Jesus Christ
. flu ills ■ ■ t.,„, ; W ‘; n ' . , V '-. .'.
been provided for us by God as a source of
knowledge as to what Christianity really is.
Surely, we agree, here is an a' ding value
We must hold close to the true faith.
There are those today who emphasize the
importance of hope. We must hold close,
they urge, to the hope of the world which
is in Christ Jesus, accepted for pardon pre
cept. and power. In this atomic age when
men can destroy the human race we must
gather men together at the feet of Christ
and turn from our strife to ways of peace
and brotherhood. Communism is stealing
the world, while we Christians argue among
ourselves and fail to go into all the world
with the glad news of Jesus Christ. Christ
prayed that believers may be one in order
that the world may believe that God sent
Him. The hope of the world is in united
t Christian witness and work, which joins us
. in a Christian fellowship. Surely, we agree,
here is an abiding value. We must hold
close to the hope of the world.
We don't want to take sides on these
. questions. We want to hold to both values
We want both faith and hope. Then we
want love, too. We want to love all our
brethren, even those who disagree with us.
And most of all we want to love the Lord. -

Traceable To llrttzil
“Coffee price sag traced to Brazil,” read a
' press dispatch headline.
The coffee drinker can thank Brazil for
the bit of relief. There’s no evidence that
any effort has been made in this country
to choke off the speculators and monooplists
in the coffee trade Our government has
stood nad continues to stand idly by while
the people are being gouged by a ruthless
group In fact, the present administration
in Washington apparently is more interested
in seeing monopolies flourish and specula
tors run wild than it is in the economic wel
fare of the country and the masses in the
country
Freedom
Exchange.
We need two kinds of freedom—freedom
to and freedom from. We need “freedom
from” such things as ignorance and false
beliefs, from bitter prejudice and hates and
greeds, from fears and false goals We need
“ireedom to” seek the truth, both old and
• new, and freedom to follow it. Then, ad
► vises Richard H. McFeely, we need freedom
to work for equal justice: freedom to seek
the good, the true and the beautiful with
minds unimpaired by narrowing and inac
curate knowledge.

Sacramento (Calif.) Bee
Fiftv-five members of the United States
Senate have harked President Dwight D
Eisenhower in his directive to the Atomic
Energy Con-.iiissiun to enter into an amaz
ing power contract wWf'a^ffPvated
utility in the Tennessee Valley.
In effect the AF.C is to hui’d a pewerpla it
for the private company, buy the energy for,
thp'tit’h 1 •' TV A .even .
pay the company's taxes on the property,
and at the end of 25 years the company is
to own the plant outright.
The administration turned down the
TVA’s request for an appropriation for a
new steam plant which could have supplied
the power and would have saved the tax
payers. over the life of the contract, be
tween $90 million and $130 million—and the
people still would have owned the plant.
By validating this strange and preposter
ous contract, the 55 Senators became parties
to a gigantic giveaway contrary to the best
interests of the American people
No one went on record as disputing the
huge estimated savings to the Government
from purchasing the power from TVA. Even
the AEC itself balked on entering into the
contract and the Director of the Budget
suggested open bids be railed for through
which TVA could have submitted its lower
offer.
The President's directive was a stab at
the heart of TVA which has served as a
model throughout the world for regional re
development. The Senate vote was the
power lobby's greatest triumph.
In Expert in Religion
The Outlook (Golden, Colo.)
We met a chemist some years ago who
was planning to experiment with religion.
“Some Sunday,” he said, “I'm going to
go to Church and see if it makes any dif
ference in my life.”
“Doctor,” we asked (for he had a num
ber of degrees), “Mow does a chemist begin
his experiments in a now field?”
“With research,” came the reply. “He
studies the findings of other men in that
field determines what has been proven
—what is unknown."
‘Thar:: -ir-gt-rr" ?v.r •■)><>w. • ■••••»•
periment with religion" we suggested. "It
would hardly be 'scientific' to judge Chris
tianity, or your need for it. on the basis of
one visit to Church. But a few montKST of"
faithful attendance, and many thoughtful
evenings with the Bible will give you a clear
under,satnding of what others have found
in Christianity. You’ll discover spiritual
truths which centuries of experience have
proven, and gain a faith that can bridge the
Unknown."
At last report, our chemist was making
fine progress in his experiment. In faci.
he no longer thinks of his religion as experi
mental'

TEXT: “Many worn out
targets have perfectly

Melvin’s mother heard
some suspicious sounds com

"Melvin! MELVIN!" she

Man misses more targets than he hits. For
every “bulls-eye” which is scored, a million
men have missed the mark. The odds are
that you and 1 will not hit the targets at
which we aim during our lifetimes. Yet we
should not be discouraged. We are hitting
closer to the mark than those who went be
fore us. We owe it to the generations that
follow' to keep trying to hit the target. Even
though we miss, someone who comes after
us may stand closer or see the target more
clearly because we made our efforts. As
the tiny coral builds a mighty reef, so the
efforts of millions of men striving to reach
a goal, build tow'ard that day when some
man will score a “bulls-eye”. When that
day comes, the mighty shout which echoes
down the halls of time will come to the
ears of we who tried and we will have our
reward.

Savings Bond Sale
~ - ~-<i>
Wade Hawkins of Greensboro,
State Deputy Director of the U.
S Savings Bonds Program* was
in Williamston today making ar
rangements vvitti County Chair
man H. A. Bowen, bankers, news
papermen, radio station manag
ers, tobacco warehousemen and
others for an advertising and pub
licity campaign to promote pur
chases of United States Savings
Bonds among farmers, business
and professional men and others.
"We are particularly aiming
this campaign to reach our farm
folks who are in the process of
marketing their tobacco and who
will want to save a portion of
their tobacco dollars for a rainy
day." Hawkins said.
"A financial reserve is a very
important part of the business of
farming,” he continued, "and a
safe place for this reserve is in
United States Savings Bonds
where it draws 3 percent interest
when held to maturity Savings
Bonds are a good buy! They are
safe, earn a good rate of interest,
can be replaced it lost, stolen or
destroyed, and can be cashed at
any bank at any time if needed or
in an emergency.”
Hawkins said that thousands of
Noith Carolina farmers, dairy
men and business men are buy
ing U. S. Savings Bonds regularly
at banks through the Bond-A
Month Plan whereby a customer
authorizes the bank to deduct the
price of a Savings Bond each
month from his checking account
I and mail the Bond to him Also
| that thousands of North Carolina
j industrial employees are buying
! Bonds regularly through the Pay
j roll Savings Plan where they
| work
I Me reiterated that “keeping
»t investments in Savings.
Bonds and adding to them with
income from tobacco and other;
Fall crops will help to insure that
a farm family can maintain its
present standard of living when
land if times get tough. Savings
; in bonds will provide for educa
tion of children, funds for re
tirement, future purchases of de
sired goods and old-age security."
A 12.80,000 bale cotton crop has
been forecast by the Agricultur
al Department. The total while
nearly four million bales less than
last year, w as 680.000 bales higher
