Thursday, January 11, 1962—Black Mountain (NC) NEWS-7 CA£g#>*> M-* 7 By NO DOUBT—Here we are, less than 30 months away from the Democratic Primary to nominate the next candidate for Governor, and nobody but nobody has any idea who it will be. Even you, dear reader, have as (food a chance as anybody else. Why not try it? The field has never been more wide-open. About this time two years ago Cloyd Philpot of Lexing ton, then running for Speaker of the House, began to see that Joe Hunt of Greensboro had it in the bag. Since he had spent right much time making contacts for the position, Phil pot decided to try for similar position in the State Senate— Lieutenant Governor. He did so—successfully, but died in office less than 10 months after taking the oath. Most Democrats agree that, were Cloyd Philpot living to day, there would he no doubt as to who our next Governor would be. CLIMAX?—As you watch ed him, debonair, blue eyes flashing, dressed impeccably, a Barrymorish swagger to his walk, it was hard to realize as he swung about old haunts in Raleigh last week that the man would be a solid 05 come this July 26. That same month he will be observing the 28th anniver sary of his election to Con gress. We refer to one Har old Dunbar Cooley, dean of North Carolina Congressmen, chairman of the powerful House Agriculture Commit tee, and one of the few “bal anced” Democrats left. By “balanced”, we mean that the conservatives think he is too liberal and the liberals think he is too conservative, v_ fiml that kind no more. Is he too old to be Governor? We think not. If Harold D. Cooley could be persuaded to climax a sparkling political career with a try for Governor, the Democrats would have little to fear from Charles Jonas. REPEAT BUSINESS—If State Senator Max Thomas finds via the courts that North Carolina is in fact entitled tc an election for Lieutenant Governor this year, then twc of the three who ran neck-and neck for the post in 1960 are expected to be candidates again. We refer to David M. Mc Connell, Charlotte attorney and former State Senator C V. Henkel of Statesville. And of course, Thomas himself— who has served three terms ir the State Senate and is one oi Henkel’s close friends, will run for the office. Thomas lives in Union Co. Attorneys around Raleigh express the opinion privately that there is better than a 50 50 chance that the Lt. Gov. vacancy will be filled this year. Those attempting to call the shots for 1964 will be await ing the courts’ decision with nail-biting impatience. MERRY CHRISTMAS!— This sweet little lady receivec one day in her Christmas cards “a real pretty one” from one Hugh Alexander. She was having a hard time placing who this old acquain tance might be. But ther someone reminded her thal Mr. Alexander is her new Eula N. Greenwood Congressman—thanks to the redistricting done by the Leg islature last year—and this fall she will have her first opportunity to vote for him. It comes to us pretty straight that N. C. Congress men involved in the shake-up have had a merry old time of it these past six months ex changing mailing lists and what-have-you. TIRED—Incidentally, did you hear about the couple who always got tired part-way through their Christmas list— and suddenly discovered to their dismay that their friends’ names start with the letters A through K?? CONGRESSIONAL DIN NER—On Wednesday eve ning, Jan. 24, North Carolina’s two Senators, the Congress men—and any wives who are in Washington and wish to attend—will be guests of the Carolina Society of Associa tion Executives at a dinner to be held in the Sheraton-Park Hotel in the Nation’s capitol. Officials of CSAE say these will be no speech-making— just an informal dinner to follow the U. S. Chamber of Commerce reception in con nection with its first National Affairs Conference on Jan. 24-25. CSAE is a Raleigh organ ization having in its member ship virtually every manager of a Statewide trade organi zation in North Carolina. BETTER INTEREST?— Don’t be surprised if some North Carolina savings and loan firms soon raise their in terest rates to four-and-one half per cent. TVta hi o* nn+innnl map’aviinps are filled with neat adver tisements from the West Coast pleading for funds at 4 Vz per cent for the savings and loan companies of that area. Pressure is also being applied right here in North Carolina. Led by First-Citi zens and Waccamaw Bank and Trust Co., a score of smaller banking institutions in the State have within the past month raised interest on sav ings to four per cent. One of the balance wheels of North Carolina is its strong financial institutions. Solid and dependable. NOTES—T. H. Woodard, Wilson County House member, celebrated his 60th birthday on Dec. 3—a candidate foi Speaker of the House, Rep, Woodard has renewed his cam paign after being laid out a few days with an attack of pneumonia—Goldsboro Law yer Lindsey Warren, Jr., son of former Comptroller Gen Lindsay Warren, Washington, N. C., State Senator, is expect ed to announce soon for the Senate—against tough opposi tion. WITH THE SICK Ashby McCoy is getting a long nicely after undergoing surgery at St. Joseph’s hos pital.

If you don’t think that is true, take a look through the religions of primitive peoples. No human beings any where, no matter how primitive, are without some kind of religion; but the human race did not ar rive e.?,rly at the truth that there is only one true God. But they did arrive. In Islam, Dr. Foreman in Judaism, and in Christianity, men have stood for their faith that God is One, and beside him there is no other. Nothing the Christian church be lieves about the Trinity abolishes this basic truth, that there is one God only. Father, Son and Spirit are not three Gods. The Holy Trin ity is not a celestial committee. Christians believe that there are different ways by which we meet God, different ways of His reveal ing himself; but the High God, the Creator of all, and Christ our Savior, the “Word made flesh,’’ and the Spirit of God in our hearts, are all the same God. One God of time and space Theologians seeking ways of ex pressing the majesty of God some times use the expression, the God of time and space. That expresses a tremendously important truth about God, a two-sided truth. One is mat no matter now iar uauit ward or forward you may go in time, God is always God. He does not become God, or cease to be God, or become (so to speak) a part-time or retired God. Some times human beings’ thoughts of God are dim; but He is ever the eternal flame. The other side of the truth is that wherever you go in space, you are always in the domain of the one, the only God, who is always the same. This not only means that God is sovereign over this earth and whatever creatures live here; to the remot est star He is still the same, the only God. The idea that we could take a spaceship and sail beyond the reach of God is just as absurd as it always was. One God of the world and you Think about the world around you—steel and asphalt, grass and trees, stars, germs and atoms. Does it seem hard to believe that the God who made these things made you? That the God who is concerned for the mighty suns and vast whirlpools of stars mil lions of light-years away,—that He can be interested also in you? Even some Christians have felt as if there must be a difference between the God of nature and the God of grace, the God of na | ture and the God Jesus revealed ' to us. But there is no difference, j Neither the God of grace nor the ; God of nature is greater than the other; for they are one and the same God. The same divine Mind that devised this universe also devised you. It serves his pur | poses,—the stormy wind fulfills God’s will, as the Hebrew psalm ist wrote. God made the earth and seas for a reason, He made the stars for a reason, He made you for a reason. What all His reasons are is His own secret. That a comet’s return may be predicted, is a pointer to God. That in the midst of grief there ' comes a healing peace, is a point er to God. That a man feels in his heart of hearts, I ought, is a pointer to God. Not to three Gods but to the same, the only God. From birth to death As we live and grow, our ideas about God may greatly change. Perhaps at first we think of Him as a kind of family God, we think of Him as the God of our church. He may be in early days a God we think about only when we say “Now I lay me ...” at bed-time; then later—for some great souls this is true—God looms so large that He is our constant compan ion, and the thought of Him is uctuiv ujl cvciy uiuugm, uui xic does not grow, it is we who grow. The road of mankind is strewn with the bodies of dead gods, someone has said. Not at all; the true God never perishes. The dead bodies are ideas, notions, images in the mind; they are not gods. Now each man’s personal road of life ought to pass on beyond the graves of the idols He has made in His mind. The God who would not let us get hurt, the God who let us do as we please, the God bent on revenge, the God of our nation against the world— these Gods do not exist except in people’s minds. The one true God is the one revealed by his Son, who from the Beginning was with God, and was God.

When the Society initiated its Bible reading program, it dis tributed 14,000,000 bookmarks listing daily passages selected by a nation-wide poll of ministers and chaplains. This year the Society estimates it will be called on for 30,000,000. Tides Off Spiritual Power "The world-wide Bible reading offers an opportunity for a great advance,” said the Society in its announcement. "If fully car ried out, new tides of moral and spiritual power should rise in the world. "Everyone is talking of plans for the new world. Has the Bible a contribution to make to the planning of the world’s future? All the principles upon which men and nations should seek to rebuild the world are found in this Book, and only in so far as we follow its direction is there hope that we shall not build in vain." Twenty-six Governors have already indorsed the Bible-reading program to date and plan to speak of it in their Thanksgiving Day proclamations. Other Governors are expected to partici pate. The American Bible Society’s object, states is not merely to reach regular Bible readers, but rather to "create an incentive for those who are not now readers to acquire the habit of daily Bible reading.” The Society believes that thousands who have never read the Bible regularly, and many thousands who are now learning to read it for the first time will find new faith and hope through this world-wide Bible reoding.
