Nothing else matters now. Just as surely as you live if we do not win this war then the "New Order" established in Lidice, in Czechoslovakia, in Poland, in Greece and elsewhere, will be established in America. Better Pray to God that ff such a condition is to come that you may "die before you see it. Winning the war by the Axis could not possibly mean anything but slavery, mass executions, wholesale herding of Americans in concentration camps and vile prisons, destruct-ion of cities and states. It has meant that everywhere they have conquered and it will mean that here. We challenge any-one to show us how it could mean anything else. Everybody on your knees praying for America which, at its worst, is as far above anything the enemy has to offer as Heavan is above Hades. ... " - Congress is Hastening Inflation. President's Program Would Save The President's good seven point- - anti-inflati- program of April 27 which would have prevented inflation is riddled; farm prices and union wages are due for a further rise, price ceilings are beginning to break, and every step taken to hold back the rising tide of money incomes is "too little and too late" All because of a stupid congress. If this congressional and big business effort continues we shall have inflation and that before very long. Then all citi-zens will wish the law makers had stood by the president's program. m S Are Greed and Waste Eating the Soul Out of The American People? r Can it be that America will let waste and greed weaken her effort. Sad to say, but such sem to be the case. It is said that some landlords have raised rents (iO per cent. It has gone so far that a young wife, after having been confined at the hospital, came home, in her weakened condi-tioned to find a sign on the door, "Children not wanted." For just one tiny babe she was turned away in order that a higher rent might be charged the next tenant. A little home in Ogden which rented for 135 a month is now rented to five workers at $125 a month. Hundreds of cases might be cited. In some instances hereabouts the waste is appalling. The case of the O. P. A. moving out cf the David Keith building is ODe of them. 320,000 had been spent for remodeling and they agreed to stay 18 months. After nearly four months they moved out and now rent likely will be paid in two places. They had better make the most of their jobs and good times j while they have them. There will be a different day shortly. j I IByj! Personal! Items. 1 For Friends & Neighbors. Neighbor Ada Collins puts it just the opposite of what Wil Rogers did. She says ':I do know some things better than the papers. Your paper is the only one that tells the truth, but you sure stretah it a little when you talk about "some" honest men. I recall some who robbed me of everything but my breath." You may have heard stories of doctors leaving their tools in the body after an operation But you haven't heard one as true as this one: A good sub-scriber, Neighbor Crone; under went an operation a few years ago. Later he felt there was more trouble and an X-ra- y swowed that the doctor's ins. strument part of it had been left inside. This is a fact. And now he may have to pay rent on it. Mrs. Anna T. Piercey has re-ceived a phonograph record of her grandson's voice who's way out on one of the war fronts. The father also received one. Neighbor KennethFarnworth preached a sermon Monday in this office that all Zion should have heard. But it is like J. Golden Kimball once said: "I would like to preach just one sermon as I sometimes feel im-pelled to. But I would want to have my grip packed ready to leave town immediately after saying Amen."

I hope that it and you and your fine family will enjoy all prosperity and happiness." Sincerely, Artemus Lamb.

DeZwarte and his fair young lady companion, Miss Violet Lattimerhavb gone away on an extended vacation trip. Good luck and happiness. Wholesale congratulations to Postmaster I. A. Smoot on his reappointment to another term of office. Good luck to him.

We are glad the Tribune has come to our aid in denoun-cing the "scurrilous pamphleteers" who, by viciously, malig-nantly, shamefully and cowardly attacking our ally Russia after her noble and heroic defense of her own and or freedom, and whose soldiers have fought as valiantly as any that ever lifted a sword. We know the sponsors and the churchman said to be connected with it. We say that it is a Hitler-inspire- d attempt to divide the nation, defeat it and puc the swastika above the stars. Shame and disgrace and ignominy and everlasting contempt on these Judas, hireh'n efforts. Must the Dream Forever Remain On the Far Horizon? Can it be that those who run the affairs of earth are de-sirous ol always keeping at a safe distance the social justice programs of the prophets and of Jesus always talking them as ideals but never bringing them down from the high horizons to the service of common men?' They cannot not yet, break through the mammon-cruste- d ; minds ' and institutions. We say it advisedly that if Mammon and, Babylon can help' it these noble programs wont come nearer than they are. But let us tell you that this war will bring them in. Out of necessity humanity will embrace them and put under its feet all things that stand in the way. "Oh Liberty! Oh Truth! Oh Justice! Float not forever on the far and dim horizons of time, but come and make your home among the children of men " USS Shaw Ready to Go on Warpath . " ' ' '," - " 1 A '"u M , ."4 ' f Here Is the USS Shaw, after being entirely reconditioned at a West oast navy yard, on her first trial run. The Shaw, which was heavily oamaged in the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, came to this navy yard with false bow. A new bow was waiting for her upon her arrival. The Shaw is now ready to go on the warpath to avenge Pearl Harbor. Forced to Communal Living Nearer and nearer comes once proud and aristocratic England to living the cooperative, communal, life. Millions of her people are driven by necessity into living fully communalized lives, which means that these millions nave been forced into living in a vast number of im-provised cubby holes where they hope they are out of danger. Here the erstwhile wealthy person rubs shoulders with the poor common laborer on equal footing, and the former fashionable ladies sit at tables and do the common work along with the working girls who a while ago where their servants. Here all are equal in all things which go to sustain life. Thus necessity has, in a measure, leveled all ranks and the toiler's spade and saw are more important than the fine ladies' diamonds. And before its over the shepherd's crook may be laid beside the sceptre. ... . ... Do We Have Brotherhood? All of our readers do not belong to our church, but all of them do belong to our God and to our Brotherhood. It is time we had a Brotherhood that means Brotherhood. "We have it now," say some. Not on your life. Take our own case. There are a thousand people in Utah who are owing us and who, apparently will do nothing. Three-fourt- hs of them belong to churches; one-fourt- h of them are our brethren in the priesthood bond, but are not brotherly enough to help save a fellow traveler. Is this brotherhood? - - ULIiMimiiiLlllllllJI mm !.v These Little CHICKS go to Market Poultry men years ago knew that Utah had what it takes to be a great egg and chick-en producer. But they need-ed help in marketing, and h .. encouragement for their Certified Poultry Improve- - ij ment Plan. That kind of cooperation was, and is, right down the chain stores' alley. So what happened? Well, just for example, two years ago one of the leading chain stores Sears, Roe-buck stocked local certi-fied chicks, and sold many thousands of them. Last year they increased the sales by 50. This year they hope to sell even more. As the largest retail distrib-- utor of certified chicks for ' Utah hatchery men, Sears, ' Roebuck is an important factor in the progress of Utah's poultry industry. UTAH CHAIN STORES urnr C.V.H.Says John Barley Corn Loses First Round From San Francisco comes the news that railroad club cars are out for the duration. California traveling men were staggered by the announcement that liquor will no longer be served on the Southern Pacific's crack train, the Daylight, running between San Erancisco and Los Angeles. The same order will apply to other heavily patronized trains such as the Challeuger, the Beaver and the California. Gfficials of the company said it was necessary to discont-inue sale of liquor on these trains because there was to much drunkenessin coaches. Many men and women of our land who love God, and love the youth of our country, are request-ing and praying that the Government will protect our boys and girls from the evil of drink and cease to favor those who traffic in that liquor fire of Hell. .

Something to Think Abont Declaration and Resolution By Eugene M. Middleton Murray, Utah, June, 1942. TO MY FELLOW MEN: Everywhere man, fashioned by his Creator to a bounteous life and a great plentitude of joy, is direct-ly and indirectly engulfed in the four great curses of sickness, pov-erty, crime and war, though the scriptures declare to us (Deut. ch. 7) that, when we observe to keep and live the statutes and com-mandments, and are fully obedi-ent, as shall not only escape these calamities but enjoy, indeed, their very opposites, namely, affluence, health, security, peace and joy abounding! Nor is just "living a good life" by accepted standards, evils, suf-ficient. We all know people who do this, yet become afflicted! Na-ture and life, evidently, demand of man a deeper, profounded and more specific and fuller obedience. Honesty, industryT-Jemperanc- e, etc., are all good yet evidently we must go beyond all these! According to my understanding, (and I believe I interpret correct-ly), God's Scriptures tell us that in order that there shall be no poverty, sickness, crime, nor war afflicting us, the following things must be done: 1. A "GOLDEN JUBELEE" must be declared, to the wealth of the world. (Every fifty years and as we, in Britain and America have neglected this im-portant practice longer than fifty years, social septicemia has al-ready progressed to the point where we, the people, all of us, 'rich' and 'poor' are having our lives seriously poisoned and af-flicted, our security in jeopardy, crime, sickness, etc., fearfully rampant!) This so that EVERY MAN RECEIVES AN ALLOT-MENT OP EARTH, EACH FAM-ILY A "STAGE," ON INHERI-TANCE, which is God's Plan, and man's right. (Micah 4:4). 2. ALL DEBTS TO BE MADE DEBTS OF HONOR; ALL OBLI- - ' Continued or- page fovr) What Happens to Prophets and Dreamers Most of them have gone down in suffering and poverty to an unknown grave in the potter's field. Only after lonji years have passed away does the world awaken to the splend or it has lost, and then, when there is neither eye to see, nor ear to hear, we come to glorify the dust of one we made a stranger on Earth, to crown the cold and silent tomb with lau-rels, to pay to death the homage that was due in life. Acute-ly sensitive to the beautiful and the tru, they were driven out into the wilderness, where the ravens fed them but where hu-man sympathy seldom came Despised of men they clothed the world in beavty; they opened the Gate of Drmms; l hey drew aside the Curtains of Darkness and mkde the Sun of Knowledge to shine into the Gloom of Ignorance. hough wanderers in the wilderness, they' gave mankind all it knows; all its truth and love and hope! thpy laid the i orners' ones of nations, they raised the flags of freedom and taught ii.t race the meaning of liberty and of home. |
