Editorial TRUMAN OF COURSE There was no escape from Tru­ man for the Democrats, In that matter the people of 4„he country have an advantage over the De­ mocrats—they know how to es­ cape from him. Renomination of the president just had to be. Dixie Democrats, opponents all over the country, dissatisfied party members, notwithstanding, there is no chance to beat a presi­ dent out of renomination. Some­ times it can’t be done even for the fourth time, certainly not fo r the first time. ON STILTS The elder statesman, Herbert Hoover, warns against business going too far on stilts—defense spending and government sub­ sidies. A spill is certain if the stilts get wobbly. SECESSION Less than a century after the bitter division of sentiment be­ tween the North and the South, the United States of America is faced with at least a gesture o f secessioin of part of the South from all-American coun­ cils. jlrue, this is a political party division, but in such a fashion harsher divisions often develop. In this case, the South has a way out—to vote for the Re­ publican candidate for president, pledged to unity of all factions fo r the sake o f progress. A “ rump .convention” may simmer down to only that. But the possibili­ ties, based as the situation is on very fundamental notions of states’ right, could easily grow to precarious proportions. GENERAL PERSHING As Lincoln said, “ the world will little heed nor long remember what we say here.” There was a time when the mere flash of the name of Pershing on a screen, or mention of his name in speech brought cheers from the multi­ tude. But that was 3Q years ago, and the world and the people in it change in that time. But there is a fragment of the populace that remembers the general of World War I, and to whom news o f his death brings sadness. The ages have produced no finer mili­ tary man, no better strategist, no more considerate conqueror than John J. Pershing, In the late 80’s taps has sounded for him—a great man, who did his country and the world a great service. FUN IN SAFETY Accidents and tvaffic injuries are anything but funny, but the new comic approach to safety on the highways is being approved generally. Comic-strip artists, and funny-folk have lent a hand to make the book interesting and helpful. “ If children make heroes out of comic-strip folk, they will be more impressed by what their heroes say about safety than what their elders or teachers tell them,” is one argument in support of the idea. The new books will be distributed at the county fair at Xenia, and later on school pupils will pass them around to children, who will see that their parents see them. CERTAINLY NOT BOTH The orator presenting the of Senator Barkley for vice presi­ dent at the Democratic conven­ tion said the senator has devoted his life to good government and the Democratic party! OUTLOOK GOOD The federal reserve board be­ lieves that the outlook fo r busi­ ness fo r both the farmer and general business for the next six months is good. Prices will- stay high, but there-will be good demand,. CERTAIN AS DEATH Not only is there no escape from taxes, but there are indi­ cations of more and more taxes, with many cities planning local income tax assessments. COFFEE BY SCIENCE Science has discovenled that coffee should be made with water at 200 degrees, just under the boiling point. Boiling water makes coffee bitter, and water lower than 200 degrees robs coffee of its flavor. How about grandma who used to keep a pot of coffee simmering on the stove a week at a time, adding a dribble or two o f new coffee now and then ? Remember, grandma raised her family of 11 children, and helped grandpa with the farmwork be­ sides. WE ’D PREFER PARD A new ration bar is composed o f muscat, figs, almonds and corn syrup, with dried apricots and orange peel added to make the eater long for some corn bread. WHAT’S IMPORTANT? Ask any one you see what seems "to him the most impor­ tant thing affecting the USA, and most of the answers yvill not touch the very important matter o f our pledge to rush to the defense o f England and France in case either or both is attacked. George Washington warned asrainst “ entangling al­ liances” "with foreign nations, you remember. Never in Ameri­ can historv. have alliances wth forpgn powers been so entang­ ling. Candy prices are going up. SGHPT0IUS: 1 Simuel It—30: 3301-13: U Btmuel: 1:1-37: 31:1. DEVOHONAI. HEADING: 1 CorinthUan 13:1-13. Jonathan, Loyal Friend Lesson for July 25,1948 Dr; Newton W rer.r, might we term this a les­ son on the facets of friendship. Rarely will one come upon such a splendid example o f friendship in all literature. Cole­ ridge put It well when he w r o t e , “ F r ie n d s h ip i s a sheltering tre e ." Di­ o g e n e s L a e r t iu s , writing on Aristotle, says, “He was once asked what; a friend is, and his answer was, 'One soul abid­ ing In two bodies’ .” S u c h w a s t h e friendship of Jona­ than and David — a sheltering tree— one soul abiding in two bodies. Although Jonathan’s father attempted at least ten times to kill David, Jonathan was drawn the closer to David, with whose soul his was knit. The record of this friendship is found in our scripture and devo­ tional readings for the lesson, with the golden text from Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loveth at all times.*’ * * * A PRINCE SHARES WITH A SHEPHERD J ONATHAN was the crown prince apparent. Dayid was a shepherd boy. Saul expected to place Jona­ than on the throne. God had se­ lected David. Jonathan would, no doubt, have made a better king than Saul, his father but he had no desire to be king when he discovered the kingly qualities in his friend, David. Not once did Jonathan ever indicate any disappointment in not becoming king. a * * JONATHAN STANDS UP FOR HIS FRIEND W HEN Saul openly plotted the death of David, Jonathan begged his father to reconsider his course and spare the life of the man who had killed Goliath and had proved himself the valiant friend of Saul. Thi3 was the final test of Jon­ athan’s sacrificial love for David. He might have remained silent, thus aiding in the death of the one man who stood between him and the ( throne. But Jonathan was made of ; the stout texture which counts no ; sacrifice too dear for a friend. He 1 was willing to stand up and be | counted when it meant that he would not become king. Thus we see that true friendship is not al­ ways easy. It usually is very costly, but it pays big dividends in the coin o f eternal wealth. * * * FRIENDSHIP THAT COSTS A ND like as Jonathan stood up and witnessed his lasting friendship for David, at a very great cost, so are we today sum­ moned to this ennobling type of friendship for Christ. “ Y e are my friends if ye do whatsoever I com­ mand you,” he once said. Young people find it rather costly to be loyal friends of Christ today. There are many siren voices that invite young people to take the low road-—social drinking, gambling de­ vices o f one sort and another, satis­ faction o f sensual desires. But the true friend of Christ; will withstand these voices, choosing rather the high road o f Christian gentlemen. *■ • * SACRIFICIAL FRIENDSHIP “ I ? 1 1?£ flower in the garden of hu­ manity,” according to my cherished friend. Dr. HIght C. Moore. I would add this thought—true friend­ ship flowers in the garden of hu­ manity, but it finds its life in the Garden o f God’s Perfect Eden. I have not known one single friendship that has impressed me that did not stem from above: “ How can two walk together except they be agreed?” And the only ce­ ment that will hold human hearts together— one soul in two bodies— is the grace o f God. "Friendship is as'God, who gives and asks no payment,” said Richard Hovey, and not until the human will Is yielded to the; will of God, even as was the will o f Jonathan, can sacrificial friendship com* to flower and to harvest.

A club of ministers who use magic to illustrate religious lessons has been formed under th* name of “ Magl-Ministers.” Most o f the members practice amateur magic. One of their favorite tricks is the passing of a handkerchief through a tube marked “ Church” which changes Its color from black to white, illustrating how a blackened soul may be cleansed of sin.

Little conveniences such as instant hot water when it's time to shave, take a shower or shampoo, or soak tired feet— these are the com­ forts that help you appreciate natural gas, the economical fuel. A storage tank of adequate capacity, with temperatures controlled thermostatically, gives you a generous supply of hot water for every need. Plenty of hot water for dishwashing, laun­ dry and general cleaning as well as for season­ al uses such as canning or blanching vegetables for home freezing. When heated by economical ' natural gas, your supply of hot water gives a lot of permanent value at very low cost. n o O *&*«&&*»*>* THE PAYTOft POWW £gP «6fiT COMPANY
