Doolittle, wife of the flier who bombed tho Axis from Tokyo to the Mediterranean, places the official "Food Fights for Freedom" pin-up chart in her kitchen. The pin-up is being distributed by retailers this month as part of an intensive effort to inform every American about food's importance to the war. It serves as a reminder of ways to use food effectively. Chart's plea to "produce, conserve, share and play square -vith food, to speed our boys home" means much Mrs. Doolittle because the fighting has scattered her own famiiy. bho prepares their meals herself when they are together and boasts she has never had e cook. THE QUIET CORNER “That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and Honesty.”—I Tim. 2:2. By REV. WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. 1 EVERYBODY NEEDS JESUS _ There is not a human being on the face of the earth that does not need Jesus. It is a fact that the great majority of man kind are without Him, as they are living sinful lives, but this does not mean that they don’t need Him. In fact this is all tlie more proof that they do need Him. Positively. Regardless of how intelligent a inan may tie, or what may be his position in life, he needs the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior, Sanctifier and leader. No man is capable of directing his own steps, his own life. Sin is too powerful for him. He can’t mas ter sin left to himself, but sin masters him He is not capable of taking care of himself and of making his way through life and to heaven. Such is out of the will of (tod. And regardless of how well educated a man may be he needs Jesus. He may have graduated m the highest colleges and uni 'Veisitios on earth, and may be a master educator, and may wield a powerful influence, but he needs Jesus as much as the most illiterate. The man who is only an ignoramus will stand as much chance of getting to heaven with out Christ as the most highly educated. There is no way to heaven without Christ. No man masters himself, masters sin and the devil, without Christ as his Savior, leader and guide. Be 1aV.«» It's -an It is true that people with people with grent intelligence and with pieat learning leave Christ out of their lives, and may not seem to greatly need Him, but that does not mean at all they lun't need Him. Every man with out Christ is, or eventually will lie. a failure. Oh. he may accom plish some worthwhile things and history may record his deeds, but if he is at last shut out of the Kingdom of Heaven, why will he act be a failure? When God fails to own 4 man's soul, at the close of his earthly life, isn’t that suf iicicnt proof that he has misera bly failed? Multitudes of people go thru life as though they don’t need Jesus, and perhaps many of them scoIf and scorn the idea of (tumbling themselves down ut His feet and repeating with god ly .sorrow all of their sins, and letting Him come inio their I hearts, souls and lives, but O, how they need Him! It will be dreadful to come to the close ol' lilt* heie without Him, because only by Him can any soul enter the heavenly city. Oftentimes people with good health and plenty of money, or earthly possessions seem never to have a serious or solemn thought about their souls,* and where they will dwell in eternity There are also vast numbers of others who jnaV settle down 'J carnal ease and indifference and go drifting through life without the Lord as their Savior. But O how they need Him! No one can aff'ord to live without Him, and certainly we can’t afford to die without Him. I live by we cant have Him to die i by, unless, “by the skin of the I teeth,” one repents in his last 1 hours and Christ comes to his rescue. This is indeed a narrow ! chance. No one can afford to risk it. It is too dangerous. The ! great majority of men die just i as they have lived. If in life they have rejected Christ or simply left Him out of their lives, they die without Him. We are made to wonder why people live in sin and wickedness, giving themsel ves over to the devil who never blesses them with anything, and whose business it is to drag ev ery soul he possibly can down to hell, and leave Jesus out of then lives who blesses them with ev erything worth while as they go through life, and who desires to save them eternally in heaven. Sinner, just why do you live like this? Is it not the reasonable, common-sense, advisable honora ble noble, manly, gentlemanly, sublime thing to live for God? On the other hand, is it not the unreasonable, nonsensical, unud visable dishonorable buse, un manly, ungentlemanly und de grading thing to live for the dev il? Now be honest, fair and rea sonable with your answer. Facts are before you. Truth never dies It is as lasting as the ages. You don’t need the devil but you do need Jtetu*. Then, why is it that you accept in life what you DON’T need, and live by that, and reject what you DO need, and by that eke out your earthly existence? You donft need the devil and sin at uny time, but you do need Christ and Christianity always. You don't need the devil to live by, and" shad not wunt him to die by, then why live for him? He is your bitterest enemy for time and eternity. Why do you serve him? You DO need Jesus to live by, and you SHALL need Him to die by. He is your best friend He loves you. for He died to save you. Then why do you re ject Him? Why do you keep Him out of your life? ..Why do you take His name in vain? Why do you give your time and talent to the devil, who curses you, In stead of giving it to Christ who blesses you. and longs to save you from hell and give you a home in heaven? Can you answer these Questions? Who ever heard of anybody feeling happy and expressing thanks. that they I lived for the devil when they come down to die? Not one. On the other hand, millions and mil lions have been happy and thank ful that they lived for Jesus when they came to death’s door. If it is so pleasant and sweet to liv'e in sin and wickedness, as the masses are. why don’t they thank the devil something like this when they come to the end of life’s journey and are exchan ging worlds: “Mr. Devil, 1 thank vou for every drop of beer and liquor you furnished ine through life; for all the intoxicating wine you permitted me to drink; for all the poison tobacco you pro vided for me through the years; for the bad, mean company you gaVe me to run with; for all the lies you put into my heart and let slip from my lips; for the dishonesty you tilled my mind and heart with; for the adultery you enabled me to commit; lor the ungodly, wicked, movies you lermitted me to attend; for ev ery adulterous, undermining, wicked dance you created for your children and servants, which I delighted so much in; for let ting me use God’s holy name in Vain; for allowing me to dese crate the Sabbath through life; for keeping me out of church and away from Sunday School; for keeping me from repenting of my sins, and keeping me from accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior; for causing me to hate sanctification and holiness; und for enabling me to run with the world and gratify my sinful pas sions and the pride of life?” If sin and wickedness is so desirable why don’t people thank the devil like this when they come to ex change worlds? No, we realize that nobody savs such things when death comes for them. Rather they shrink back with horror, or manv do, and hate the, devil and sav that he is get ting them. They don’t confess to the devil that they have made him a faithful servant, and that they are expecting him to give them a good, great and wonder ful reward. They know the re ward he gives is that of dnninii jtion and this is tlie thing they I wouldn’t, have for a million worlds if they could escape. Rut those who take Jesus in to their lives, live faithful and true to Him until death, can say with the Apostle Paul; T hurt fought a good tight, i have fin ished my course, i nave kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:7. «.). Again they can say with Paul: “Thanks be to God, which giveth us trie victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.’ (1 Cor. 15:57). Jonn Wesley could say when dying, after hav ing taken Christ into his heart, soul and life, and having served and worshipped Him faithfully through the veurs, “The best of all is, God is with us.” Another could say when dying: “It is beautiful to be with God.” A saint of God can look up, a?, it were, into the face of the bles sed Christ, and say when In comes to tfye end of his journey on earth: “Bless the Lord, () my soul: and all that is within me. bless His holy name.” One who has taken Christ in j 100,000th GM Woman War Worker Mrs. Virginia Buecnler in her new job as inspector of Allison aircraft engine crankshafts in the Cadillac Division of General Motors.
