The Cedarville Herald. A Republican Newspaper Published Every Friday by THURMAN MILLER, JR. N Sintered as second class matter October 31, 1887 at the Postof­ fice at Cedarville, Ohio, under Member-National Editorial As- Act o f Congress o f March 1879. sociation; Ohio Newspaper Asso­ ciation; Miami Valley Press As­ sociation. Editorial THANKS MR. FESS The honored name of Fess is a- gain on a bill in the legislature. Our servant at Columbus, is the author o f a bill to require manu­ facturers o f farm mtchinery, corn pickers in particular, to pro­ vide extereme measures of safety in the operation of the machines. Farming has become the most hazardous occupation, records show. Speaking for our friends, the farmers o f this section o f the state’s best farming area, we thank you. THIS MEANS US The continued headline, “ Price of Hogs Drops,” means all of us in this section of Greene county. While we may not be in the hog business, we are direct­ ly affected by the hog market. On it depends almost every­ thing to about all o f us. In fact, what happens to the hog market affects a great many people of the entire country. Strangely, these ratheir uncouth animals shape our destiny, at least ec­ onomically. HOSPITAL PLANS Greene county’s memorial hospital has reached the stage o f submission of plans to the state hoard of health. From there the plans will be relayed to the U. S. public health service for final approval. Everybody in the county is interested in this proj­ ect. It was by the people’s maj­ ority' vote the institution was authorized, and every stage of progress in seeing the dream be­ come a reality is interesting to them. IMPROVEMENTS We find a thread running through the news from neighbor­ ing schools, in the same tone as news from the town school. Many improvements are being made, and a general reburnish­ ing. Out at Ross Township, the school reporter tells us o f a gen­ eral inside and out repainting and redecorating. They invite ue to come to see it. Not forgetting that what interests the schools interests us, all df- us would like to do it. Anyhow, there’s nothing like pride in one’s possessions and surroundings. IS THAT HIS IDEA? Above every wish of the Com­ munists is for a major depress­ ion in USA. With the huge gov­ ernment-spending and foreign- relief program proposed by the administration, Goods would continue at a premium and em­ ployment logically remain high. But suspose Russia openly calls o ff the “ cold w ar?" Americans would demand that the war pre­ paredness program he junked, and with Europe’s recovery greatly hastened by' such a turn of events, the two major money trees would die of blight. From there on, figure it out yourself. Is that Stalin’s big idea? Could be. BLACK SHEEP Along the road between James­ town and Cedarville, a path that we have to keep pretty hot by numerous trips, there is a field with not one or a few black sheep, but a whole lot of black sheep. South o f Jamestown there is a farm with a few black sheep the ones showing up with jet coats in the spring. The animals are heavy-fleeced and husky looking. We are told they are es­ pecially fine sheep. STALIN WILLING Headlines say that Stalin is "willing to meet Truman.” Of course Stalin is willing to meet Truman. He was willing to meet Roosevelt and Churchill, and both o f those estimable gentlemen were completely' duped by the generalissimo. Very few persons could be found who would not be pleased to see a meeting of Russ­ ian and American leaders that would lead to better relations between the nations. But judging the future by the past, what Stalin says and what Stalin does are two different .things. WIDE OPEN SPACE Disregarding security, Likewise futurity Boldly he said: “ I've got an idea in my head!” A NEW' SCRIPT For a decade, Lyle Vann, radio announcer for Pure Oil, at the close o f the broadcast said, ‘Good night, Mr. Kaltenborn.” Recently he has been sayings “ Thank you, Mr. Kaltenborn.” Can it be that Mr. Kaltenborn is staying up later? Lawnmowing may bring on an attack o f gout, an authority says. We are printing that sage warning on a large placard and hanging it in the kitchen, with the doctor’s other statement— women do not have gout. Do you suspose Thuman’s ma­ ma let him play with an arithme­ tic when he was a baby, and that’s the .reason he throws fig ­ ures around like he does ?

READING: Luke II: 37-46. Inevitable Critics Lesson for February 13, 1949 Dr. Foreman O NCE UPON a time, so the old story goes, there was a cha­ meleon, a lizard that can change its color to match whatever it stands on. They put him on a black cloth a n d h e turned black; on a red ta­ blecloth a n d he turned red; on a green billiard table and he t u r n e d green. Then some mean person set j him down on a Christmas necktie —and the poor little thing exploded. This is a parable of the person who tries to please ev­ erybody. It can’t be done—and it ought not to be tried. ‘Woe unto you,” said Jesus, “ when all men speak well of you.” Jesus Christ himself did not please every cr.e. Net ever, a per feet personality can he 109 per cei t popular. Net that Jesus enjoyed rt:bbing pecple the wrong way. There was nothing perverse about him. He was deeply, sincerely friendly, and to Icso any friendships must have been m~re painful for him than for us who are so selfish. Nevertheless he did make enemies, he had his critics; and his followers may expect no tetter. * » * Misunderstanding Motives O NE POINT tn which Jesus met terrific opposition was his at­ titude toward the Sabbath. Repeat­ edly he or his disciples would do things on the Sabbath which (as Jews then understood the law) were quite wrong. It was just that .sort of tiling that Jesus ran into, more than once. His enemies misunder­ stood, or at least misrepresent­ ed, his motives. They claimed that he was “ blas­ phemous,” that is, that he was delib­ erately making light of God’s law. The truth was that he was acting by God’s highest law—the law of love. Helping people in need was more important than keeping the letter of the Sabbath law. Jesus’ example may help vs here. If our best motives are misundersU.od. we have a right to explain ourselves, as Jesus did; but we are not oblig­ ed to change our ways to please those who persist in misunderstand­ ing us. * •; * Stepping Out of Bounds W HEN Jesus healed the man with, the pals:. it was r.ct the cure his critics found fault with, it was his first saying “ Your sins are for­ given." “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” they said. In short, the Pharisees thought — some of them perhaps sincerely—that Jesus was stepping out of bounds, pre­ tending to do something that he had no right, to attempt and r.o power to accomplish. Now Jesus did have both the right and the power to say what he said to that sick and sinful man. And he made no apolo­ gies for going beyond the limits his critics set for him. Sp we too may sometimes be ac­ cused of “ biting off tco much,” of going beyond cur powers or capac­ ities. Our critics may be right, you know, though Jesus’ critics never were. But how often they are wrong! If Lincoln had listened to his critics he never would have left Sis backwoods law office; they did not think him fit to be president. If the W’right boys had listened to their neighbors, they never would have flown an airplane, for who would have thought a couple of bi­ cycle mechanics could do what so many scientists said was .impossi­ ble? Are you sure you arc right? Then go ahead, in God’s name! * *> * The Company You Keep I ESUS’ friends got him into trou­ ble, as; Mark shows us. For one thing, some were the “ wrong sort” like Matthew the tax-collector. Then hiS friends had an unconventional kind o f religion, they actually seemed happy about it instead of gloomy like some of John’ s disci­ ples. And to make matters worse, his friends ‘jbrqke” the Sabbath laws much as Jesus did. All in all, Jesus’ critics complained that Msus’ I friends were a bad lot, and they judged Mm by the company he kept. But Jesus knew his friends better than his enemies did. He never gave up or loosened a single friendship on Ms crit­ ics’ account. * Some of Ms friends gave him up, hut he nev­ er gave them up.
