C., un der set of March 3rd, 1878. Let's make 1989 a "Buy at Home" year I The selfish man is usually an ig norant man. Well, so far as we are concerned, let us say that 1939 started off all right. Faith is fine but it must be sup ported by deeds when deeds are pos sible. Editorials are among the writings in which consistency is not always found. An educated man is one who is ready to follow the truth wherever it leads. What has become of the old-fash ioned man who always carried an umbrella ? Silence is often better than speech but, very often, a little talking clears the air. There are very few Senators who do not believe that they are presi dential timber. Correct this sentence: "But, wifey, dear, you must spend more money; I can afford it" People who expect to get jobs rare ly have harsh things to say about their future employer. There are people more interested in dog fights than the welfare of mil lions of children. Post Christmas thought: It is not the cost of the gift but the sentiment behind it that counts. . The hen-pecked husband might take his wife to that land where they have rats three-feet long. Romance under the summer moons has little or nothing upon romance under the winter moon. Just because one finds an adver tiser who is dishonest is no proof that all advertisers are scandrels. Forward looking high schools might put in a course to train avia tion mechanics and, possibly, pilots. There are many things worth while in life regardless of the fact that you don't get much out of them. 1? * Religion is more important than any organization; the latter may be suppressed but the former lives for ever. Every time a creditor hears that a debtor ti?I gotten hold of a few dol lars he wonders why he doesn't get his money. German and Italian cannon have been doing deadly work for the cause of Spanish liberty during the past month. There are some people who say they will pay their bills even if they do not eat; as a rule they have no bills to pay. We see where a professor says that Hitler hypnotizes his hearers; some of these day* somebody is going to leave Der Fuehrer unconscious. When an expert says postively that something will not happen, put him down as in-expert; the experts leave the road dear for anything tee hap -0; _ tLsre 'ie no ruah of. Negroes to get ' jnteGaranay.

Mr. Abend says that the Chinese guerrillas are ineffective doing noth ing more seriously than occasional intermittent fighting. He reports that foreign military experts believe that 30,000 American, British or French troops, armed only with rifles and machine guns, could make Japa nese occupation of this immense area untenable. i This situation is something of a mystery, particularly if one vismtl ixes the enormous civilian population which, in rebellion, should be able to exterminate the invaders except at their main troop concentration points. \3 it is, if the Chinese do nothing, the Japanese will be able to exploit the country by developing trade and in dustry. . I In this connection, however, it is worth pointing out that the Chinese population is largely ignorant and ! inadequately trained. Whether the guerillas are sufficiently armed to harrass the Japanese soldiers is ques tionable. Anyway, Chinese forces as !sert that Chinese military leaders forsee a long war, now entering a phrase in which the Japanese will try to suppress the guerrillas and due to end when the Chinese have trained and equipped a new army that, they expect, wiU attack Japanese in two or three years and drive them out of China. CAN RELIGION BE AN EF FECTIVE FORCE? We have been very much inter ested in the opinion expressed by many leading citizens of the world that religion is the only force able I to compose the differences of man kind and God is the only leader able to save the peoples of the world from the catastrophes that threaten them. S No sane and sensible man will dis pute these conclusions. At the same time, they are general in fheir nature and unless the people of the world I are intelligent enough to devise meth ods and machinery to apply religion to current problems, the prospect of help for the human race is disttant. | To begin with, the people of the j ! world do not agree in their religious ! views. They differ in their worship, in their interpretation of eternal 1 principles and in their ideas of faith, i These differences exist not only be | tween members of various religious organizations but between members of the same general religious body. Between the Mohammedans and the followers, of Confucius, for example, there is a wide gap, but between the members of these sects and the fol lowers of Christianity the gap is wider. If we limit our observation to members of the Christian faith, we find the same diversion of views. Ob viously, there is no uniform under standing as to religion throughout the world, and between members of the Christian faith, there is no gen eral agreement as to its application to the problems and perplexities of the modern world Let us consider, for example, an ef fort to apply the principles of re ligion in the Far East. In the first place, those of China or those of the Christian nations? If we determine that Christian principles should be applied in the Far Eastern situation, we are confronted with a new prob lem. Here we have two nations, each en titled to equal rights, involved in a bloody war, undoubtedly provoked by the aggression of Japan. Do Chris tian principles require that the peo ple of the United States adopt the same attitude toward the Japanese as to the Chinese? If not to what ex tent is there an obligation, resting upon Christians, to help the stricken Chinese? Let us consider the case of Ger many. Here we have a people, fun damentally great, being progressive ly led along paths of aggresaion that eventually will involve the world in a/great war. What should be the reaction of Christian people, in the fullness of their faith, to this situa tion? Should they be so filled with brotherly love toward the German peffpt* they must stand aside, regardless of what the Hitler regime undertakes? Do Christian principles require the individual, for example, to stand idly by when the strong op press the weak? Obviously, there are two to most of these ques tions, depending upon what the indi vidual wishes to emphasize in the typing* of the founder of Chris .. ,tLJ canity. ^ SSrtn all followers to wor ship truth, but any effort to apply chis observation to the current prob lems of the world causes considerable jonfusion. ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE TO CRECITOBS ?viuMt tiiMB to undersigned I uAlilwtv wa^^aa* _ . Jwagi, ' J : LYNCHINGS DECLINE I ? Six persons were lynched in the United Ststes during 1938, according to figures reported by Tuskegee In stitute. Such crimes are regretable and inexcusable lapses into brutality and it is encouraging that the num ber of such outbreaks is decreasing. The report shows that not one per son lynched was in the hands of the law tfi?t in forty-two instances officers of the law prevented lynch ings. Three of these occurred in Northern States and thirty-nine in Southern States. Of those lynched all were Negroes; of those who es caped lynching three were white and fifty were Negroes. Last year the nation saw a de termined effort to back anti-lynch ing bill. The effort failed but its sponsor will renew the attempt this year. Debate in the Senate revealed ?w the Southern States regard pas sage of such, a law as a reflection upon them and a political gesture by politicians interested in the votes of Negroes in certain states. We would not regard the passage of a Federal anti-lynching law as a reflection upon the South, where many white people are in favor of such a statute. In view of the de cline in the number of lynchings in the South, we doubt whether a Fed eral law will have much effect In preventing occasional lynchings. Southern sentiment, which is gener ally and strongly against lynchings, is the most effective safeguard against the mistreatment of persons accused of crime. It should be strengthened in order that lynching may disappear. In fact, the people of the United States might as well realize that the Southern States present one of the world's greatest racial problems. Compared to the disorders that exist in other countries, where lesser ra cial differences are to be found, the two races in the South get along very well. Continued peace between them and the orderly development of the Negro in the South depends upon the promotion of good will between the two races there. Undeserved de nunciation of the Southern white peo ple and ill-advised efforts of outsid ers to adjust a situation that does not confront them, may do more harm than good.
