THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
_ The co'untry newspaper is the ml
voice of .the people The small town
business man in the backbone ot
commerce.. The fanner the basin of
subsistence. "
The country editor In dally touch I
with the merchant, farmer and mnn-j
or.-< he-street hears what the people
think. That Is freedom of speech. |
The editor puts these though's into
print. And that is freedom of the
press. Otherwise the greet mass of
.the people would be inarticulate.
They would have no voice. The country
newspaper gives it to them.
Is it effective? It was the farmer
and small business men, nuking
known his opposition to the NRA,
through! the medium of the country
press, thai rendered that oppressive
act ineffective, long* before the nnart
, imous docMcm of the Supreme Court
y : consigned It to the ash rata.
- One' need not bother to read a
Gel hip poll on any truly national
1 question, if one his a "digest?of the
red tori ale of the country press, it
'will be known before the poll is published
what America is thinking and
what- the people are saying.
Ofte.n the editor does not knowhow
next week's payroll will be met.
Hut aome-hc-w it is met and the
voice of the peonle ?t>e?k8 on. Like
f;. ; ' , Old Man River, it just keeps rolling

The Bystander
By 8. \V. Johnson
Pastor Grace Methodist Church
Joan 11:42: "And 1 knew that
thou hearewt me always: but because
of the people which stand by
I said it; that they may believe that 1
thou hast sent me." , '
Jesus gave us a sublime example
of life of large perspective. We see
life at a point, at an angle; Jesus
aw llfu as a whole and in Its complete
ness. .
Our perspective is narrow selfishueas7>0Ur
love is selfish; that of
,ksus Went out to all the world. Om*
sorrow is .svlt:sl?; that of Jesus went
>>ui to others. He said to the man,
. ho would bury his father, "Let the ,
lead bury the dead; go thous and
pV< ach.' Jesus is ititert u'ptod by the '
dying ih> f. allowing the man. to ini
rr-upt the sacred silence of the
closing hours of the ebbing life,
i Jesus did remember the bystander.
J . .
We must make this touching of
' Ohjist's our own. The mail who
walks' along the path of his ordered
j lite, and never remembers the people
who stands by does not untier|
stand the spirit of Jesus. We must
remember that the bystauder exists. 1
Kbhte forgot the bystander. 'Hie Re
! man Empire \v.? therefore an em|
pire built on slavery, and' that was:
j the secret of its corruption and its
| final downfall.

the bystander to acoount with, that j
he k a man like ourselves; that he
has tastes, powers, sod emotions
; the same as our own: that he llveft.
weeps, and enduree. o-nd has gr<'.u
virtues. We must remember the bystander's
needs.
' ' . '
TH?-r? Is no more terrible' piiture
in all-the teaching of Jesus than the
j picture of the man twho forgot the
b> andf-r. He Is* name was Dives
j end the bystander was a beggnr^call
W. Lazarus, at the sate. We must re- j
j member the possibilities of the byrtnder.
that might'be In our torn- \
nninlty or even at out gate. Somawl.ere
among the bystanders are the 1
i spiritual leaders of the future; the
i host who are to fight the battle of
advancing progress and liberty: the
martyrs who are to carry the name
of^tesus to the dark places of the
earth. Wesley, Livingston, and SI
n:on Peter were bvstawders. Who
wculd have thought of finding apostals
tn flrh?rmen? Only 9e-?us. B"? i
.leans ssw not only the the outward
but knew what was within the fisherman
