We see such headlines often,

Not all children are reared in the

or the wealthiest he may live

terrible ought to happen to him.
We think in terms of punishment
for the wrongdoing. Nothing is
too bad for him.
in making him what he is. Like the
clay he has possibilities.
We say he is delinquent. If he
is', then his parents are delinquent,
his school has failed, his church is
not on the job and something is

Look behind the scenes.
There were 14 people living, eat-

T.ie-e li people were living in

A child is the reflection of his
parents. He is the result of his

voiced "I believe'. . .," in the midst
of the Easter lilies, is it hard to
believe? . Some Bnd
it so; and feel
ashamed that in
the presence of
others' bright faith
their own doubts
rise darkly dim,
their faith once
clear and warm
now grown opaque
and cold. It is at
Easter time that Dr. Foreman
such a person finds
his case most tragic. Doubt that
echoes a universal loss of faith is
almost natural; but why must doubt
stand like a dark rock in a sunny
meadow, cold in the midst of flow
ing springtime?
The Man of Dark Mind
TRAGIC such loss of fa-th may be;
but not new. For In Christ's first
Twelve we must say first Eleven,
for Judas had sold himself to an
other even in that choice com
pany there was one who, on the
First Easter, when the voice of all
his friends spoke as one: He is
risen! could only answer,' II. he
risen. Indeed?
The church has given the name
of Saint to these eleven men; they
will not deny it to Saint Thomas.
For sainthood is not confined to
those who have never wrestled with
doubt; saints are not only those in
whose eyes God and his ways have
been always clearly seen.
High In the roll of Christian
saints is the name of Thomas, a
man of dark bat honest mind.
His doubt was very like him.
He was not a man who most
easily believed what was most
pleasant.
When Jesus had set his face to go
to Jerusalem, the other Ten looked
for a Throne, and thrones for all;
Thomas alone looked for death. Yet
in the very hour, cheered by no
bright illusion, Thomas c,ould say
what no other did: "Let us go too
that we may die with him."
In the upper room at the Last
Supper, again the voice of Thomas
bespoke his dark mind. "We know
not whither thou goest; and how can
we know the way?"
So it could have been small sur
prise to fhe Ten that when they went
to Thomas with the glad news of
Easter Day, 'he was slow to believe.
"..: . .4
The Last Beatitude
MOW the Lord Christ did not re
buke this man Thomas, when at
last the two came face to face once
more; nor did ha praise him. He
knew that Thomas had acted as a
Thomas wOL' 1; ' '.: ',
' Bat our Lord also looked down the
centuries, to us and beyond. Thomas
had not asked the Impossible; but
soon, soon would come the time
when request like his could not be
granted, . a
Net forever eeaM Christ be
seen ea earth with the visible
eye. Te only a few weald be
granted even the dream er vi
rion ef what Saint Thomas eonld
have touched if he had dared.
The time was shortly coming
when men must believe, if they be
lieve at all. Without seeing. Easter
days would come and go, the voict
of faith would rise in a thousand
songs: He Is risen! But not on any
Easter, for twice a thousand years
at least, would Christ return to
break bread with bis friends in such
a way that doubt could no longer be.
Blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet I
The Risen Lord
nO Saint Thomas was wrong, and
right. He was wrong if be
thought: I cannot believe unless I
see. The Christian way is not the
seeing that is believing; it is the be
lieving that is seeing.
' Bat be was right If he thong ht:
; I mast believe fer myself, I can
take ne ether man'a faith for
my own. And he was right at the
last! "My Lord and my God!"
'' Was Thomar only a man of tem
perament, a man easily blown from
depth of doubt to height of faith?
By no means. He knew what differ
ence Easter makes, once the truth
of it comes home to a man's mind.
If the message of Easter Is not
true, Christ is dead, rather Jesus
Is dead and there la no Christ; his
brain Is dust, his dream a cobweb
in the wind of death. But If the
message of Easter Is true and the
whole Christian church is witness
that it la true then Christ who lived
again on Easter morning Uvea for
ever past all the mornings of the
world, lives to be man's only king,
reigning from the very right hand of

Conservation Program for 1953 is
now under way in the State. This
program is different from pre
vious programs , in this respect:
Each Community committeeman is
to visit each farmer in his com
munity and assist him in listing
the practices most needed on his
farm for conservation and increas
ed production. Then before the
start of the 1953 Program year
the County Committee will notify
each participating farmer of the
practices approved for his farm.
Stokes County was selected as
the "pilot county" in which this
program is being conducted in
1952. As of March 14 Community
Committeemen have visited 2,541
of the 2,786 farms In the county.
All but 147 of the farms visited
are participating In the program
this year or, 'percentage wise, 91.2
per cent of the farmers in the
county have been contacted and
82.3 per cent of the farmers in
the county are participating. This
figure will be increased somewhat
as the remainder of the farmers
are contacted. On this date in
1951, 899 farmers had requested
assistance under the program,
amounting to 32.7 per cent parti
cipation: The total number of
farmers participating in 1951 was
46.4 per cent.
