Editorial CONGRATULAT IONS ! » Again Greene county farmers g e t the headmark in competion with their ilk the country over. Theodire Session Paul Towns- ley, ’ /alter Stewart and P. A. Harper Were on the honor roll fo r corn production this year. Those gentlemen, like many others in this part o f the corn belt, have the know how, the in­ dustry and the soil to eearn the honors in competion with the eom-growing farmers o f the country. I t is interesting to re­ flect that competition in such an enterprize is different from many contests, as nobody in a food- producing race loses, but every­ body gains. RESOLUTIONS A philosopher got his idea over when he said that it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Getting a love­ sick hoy whose g irl is having dates with another guy is some­ thing o f a chore, but in the main the idea seems sound. I t ’s the same with resolutions. True, most N ew Year’s resolutions are bro­ ken, hut some survive, and even the recognition o f the need fo r better behavior and better habits is worth while. So, go ahead and make resolutions, who knows, you may succeed in keeping some o f them. It ’s worth trying any­ how. TH E LORD’S SERVANT Jamestown Baptists and citi­ zens o f the community are speak­ ing in the highest terms o f ap­ preciation o f Rev. A . W. Snow and his helpful w ife who have served the church-of that denom­ ination in the village and taken a part in community affairs fo r two years. Since the days o f old when the Lord’s appointed prophets were intermediaries be­ tween the people and their Crea­ tor. ministers o f the gospel have been accepted as His servants doing the same fo r the people as the ancient prophets did. This good man and his w ife are leav­ ing the community, but their good works w ill remain as testi­ monials. MORE CACKLING A Greene county woman testi­ fies that her White Rock hens r do a lot better and lay more eggs when she keeps a light burning in the chicken house; A n expert at QSU agrees with her. Both Mrs. Earner and the professor have experimented and they are not guessing. Every day in every way electricity is doing more and more service to the world. Even the chickens do more cackling. PAM PER ING HOGS A story has been told fo r years about the stoekfeed salesman telling the farmer how much time he could save fattening hogs by using the concentrate, and the farmer exclaimed, What’s time to a hog! Now along comes an Illi­ nois farmer matching Greene - county’s Mrs. Harner in getting her hens to la y better by keep­ ing a light burning in the chic­ ken house at night. The corn- belter feeds his hogs twice din­ ing the night by electric light. He says they show a remarkable gain. Well, a good way to fatten up men and women is to have them running to the cupboard and the refrigerator a .tim e or two during the night. TH E F A IR MADE MONEY I t was a good fa ir ; nobody had any better, and it made money, B. U . Bell, veteran treasurer, turned over $5,000 profit fo r the Greene county fa ir in 1948.' A glance a t the balance sheet shows that the institution has assets o f close to $8,500, and that’s a neat sum on anybody’s bank book. TH ANKS , UNCLE ! F o r us small f r y that use the mails, Uncle Sam did a favor. While he increased the postage on a ir mail 1 cent and added 2 cents to the special delivery rate on letters, he le ft the 3-cent letter and the good old penny card as they were. That’s where we come in. And also, we country publishers and all publishers fo r that matter, are grateful that the rate: remains the same. - - Ben Hogan, go lf’s No. 1-er, by his superior playing was top money winner fo r 1948, receiving - over $32,000 in tournament play. That would just about keep some o f us dubs, in balls. Farmers are urged to have fertilizer delivered now fo r use in the spring. But it isn’t a bit disturbing to sleep in the bam on rainy days when the place is sniffed up with fertilizer? Headline: Plan to Get England Out o f the Red in Four Y ea .j. That ought to he easy i f we fur­ nish the money. A new look in Russian men’s clothes is ordered not reckoned on the corrupted boulevard style o f the capitalistic west. So, Ivan, i f you have any boulevard pants, prepare to shed them now! Bounds too nigh fo r mankind o r even sh arp-eared -animals to .hear can he used to pasteurize ,..m0k.

DEVOTIONAL READING; Hebrews 2:1-9. In Remembrance Lesson for January 9, 1949. Dr. Foreman ' V .‘">5&W? J ESUS OF NAZARETH was the Unforgettable Man. A ll our in­ formation about him: as he lived in Galilee comes from four small booklets known as 5/5 the Gospels. There was a little more about him in the letters o f Paul, and a few additional sayings o f his have been preserved in papyrus fragments in Egypt. But the main source o f our historical k n o w l­ edge o f Jesus is in these four Gospels. A ll put to­ gether they do not make a big book; but any one o f them by it­ self is a gre; t book. ft: * t . Who Remembered Him? I T BOTHERS some people to dis­ cover what scholars have always known, that our Gospels as we have them are based on earlier writings and spoken traditions. But this gives us an even better reason fo r trusting the reliability of these" records. They were not made up for the first time a generation or more after Jesus’ resurrection. They go back to the lifetime of _ thousands who personally knew Jesus. The farther back scholars can trace the: origins of the Gospels, the more historically ,reliable they are proved to be. Some of the i n f o r m a t i o n worked into our Gospels came from personal reminiscences; this Is the case with large . parts of Matthew and John. In the case o f Mark, the early story in the church was that as a young companion of Peter on. missionary journeys, . Mark jotted down the stories which Peter told about Jesus. A t any rate the Gospel o f Mark contains just the sort of things ‘ that a man like P eter would be likely to remember. Luke himself, a missionary doctor and great friend o f Paul, never knew Jesus personally, but lived fo r two years lin Palestine and gathered the ma­ teria ls fo r his Gospel while there were still hundreds o f people there who remembered* Jesus well. • * * What They Remembered J OHN tells us that it would be impossible to write down all that was then known of Jesus’ life. Out o f the 400 days (at least) during which Jesus’ public min­ istry lasted, not over 40 are re­ corded, even in part. P e t what these men did re­ call and record is enough to reveal a matchless Person. A fifth Gospel might enlarge our knowledge of Jesus; but it would not greatly change it, Jesus never wrote a hook, not even a letter so fa r as w e know; yet such words of his as were remembered have influenced the world. Jesus’ entire public ministry lasted a shorter time than it takes to go through college; yet what he did has had a deeper effect on the world than the work of any university graduate in history. Jesus started no corporation, no formal organization; ye t out of his fellowship have grown the greatest institutions in the world. * » » Why They Remembered T HE STORY o f Jesus was re­ membered and recorded by his followers partly because they could not help it. They could not forget him and did not want to forget him. One thing is true of all those who lovingly cherished these mem­ ories o f the Master; they loved and adored him. No unbeliever ever wrote a Gospel. P ila te wrote no life of Christ. Even if Judas had lived, lie could not have written* one. Our Gospels: were written by men of faith, fo r the purpose of calling ont faith in others. “ These things were written that ye may believe that Jesus Is the Son of God” (John 20: 31). In one sense of the word we could write a better Gospel now, fo r today 19 centuries o f Christian experience are behind us, and those centuries are fu ll o f the doings of Christ through his church. The four Gospels tell us o f what Jesus did in Galilee. But now we can tell the story o f what Christ has done in A frica and Greenland and Aus­ tralia and America. Reading the Gospels is interesting, it is im­ portant; but the reading has not hit the bull’s-eye if it leave you, the reader, merely better informed than you were.
