The great test of a person these days is to be truthful when lying is such a business and social asset; to be a keeper of promises when t he practise everywhere is to break promises Friend Wm. (Bill) King was in and said he was on his way to the Ofd Folks meeting to en-courage them to stay with the government in the matter of pensions and assistance. He said if the candidates would swear to do as well as Tedesco their calling and election would be sure. In these days of prosperity better lay by a little because one extreme is sure to follow another. It is a universal custom to ) deify success hnd scorn defeat. Walter A. Jensen, son of our good Friend Jacob Jensen, has been called into the service, leaving home and wife and par-ents. Neighbor Harold F.

Sunrise It is true, as never before, that "the world is waiting for the Sunrise" . . . the Sunrise of a New Day that shall usher in the Age of Man! It is waiting for a Sunrise whose searching rays will drive the barbarous practice of war from off the face of the earth; a Sunrise that will, with its mellow rays, pierce and clean away all the poverty and ignorance that exists; that will shame away greed and make such con-ditions that never again will man have to devour his fellow man for gain; a Sunrise that will inspire mankind into Brotherhood; a Sunrise that will make the paths of life so bright that men will be ashamed of their lusts, and girls and women will no longer have to sell their'bodies and souls to live; a Sunrise that will take the curse of drink from men and guide them to nobler living; a Sunrise that, will stimulate the New Earth into being and make radiant the way for the coming and the reign of the King of Kings. Trailing a New Dawn all fresh with dewey charm, The long-await- Sunrise comes at length to warm To life the war-tor- n, ruined lands of earth And to the promised Paradise give birth; To feed with light the spirit hunger of the race, And fan new flames of Truth, diviner love and grace. PeronaL Neighbor Geo. J. Fox mus never be accused of not having courage. He writes: "Refer-ring to your editorial of Oct 8, On This We Take Our Stand. A well written article. It should be copl 'd by every paper but it won't be. I send you a re-membrance, not because you wrote the article, but beeause you had the guts to publish it." Mountain Home, Utah, Oct. 11 Dear Mr Lund : All along the way through life you have taken a noble stand for the welfare of man-kind. You will be loved and remembered when the cruel, unchristian oppressors are dead and forgotten. God bless you. R. M. Brandon. Here's a blessing right back at you Dick. Your heart always was right. Hope we both live to see the end of the reign of injustice and oppression. 17E TAKE ISSUE WITH CLARK'S CHICAGO INSURANCE TALK . We are not criticising Pres. J. Reuben Clark of the L D.S.Church we cannot write or speak against church or religion but we do criticize In-surance Director, Foreign Bond Chairman and Politcal Reactionary J.Reu-ben Clark for attackng the government we believe raised up by Providence, and designating it as rebel and alien, and almost welcoming enemy victory. The late Francis M Lyman said to the writer's father in answering a question about the brethren being divided: "Brother Lund, there is no inspiration in politics." And he might have added: "Nor in business either." Jesus never sent any of his special witnesses to plead for a billion dollar bus-iness, and God and Mammon never did mix except to the destruction of spiritual power and a great lessening of the signs and the fruits of the spirit. Clark's Chicago speeeS given from a pedestal of insurance billions, was the most reactionary, critical and near seditious eyer delivered in any country during war time. Had it been delivered in any other land at war the author might have been handled. It was the outpouring of years ot pent up and well nourished hate, utterly foreign to the Master's spirit calling the government rebel and alien and intimating it worse than Hitler's! Had Peter and Paul, with all their justification, delivered such a speech against Rome they could no longer have remained as great special witness-- s as they would have lost the spiritual power. Had Brigham Young made such a speech during the Civil war, with tenfold more justification than at preseat, history might have written him down as a traitor. The exalted calling of a special witness for Jesus is too sacred to be thus us;d and dragged through the mire of politics in such an infamous man-ner. While he was thus talking and maligning the government, Rev. Hunt was delivering a patriotic and loyal sermon, and the heads of the Jewish, the Catholic and the Protestant faiths in America were cooperating with a program for the good of this country and the world a splendid program. It appears that he has no vision for anything but the dead past. Well, ten thousand Harding! and Coolidges and Hoovers and Clarks couldn't bring it back nor save one thing of the Babylonic institutions which God and Destiny have decreed must go down, to cleanse the earth and make way for the greatest and most "dangerous foreign ism of them all the ISM that was bom of love and truth and patriotism and justice, under the clear skies of Palestine, by the waters of Galilee! All things are but preparatory. Praise Where Praise Is Due Whilesome papers were attacking America's great .Secretary of State, Hon. Cordell Hull, and trying to make him out as a nobody, Collier's Weekly, a great national journal, and quite conservative, spoke editorially as follows of Mr. Hull: "To us Judge Hull is tops, as for many years he has been a strong man tn his own right. Americans have respected Cordell Hull for his honesty, his intelligence, his vigor and his liberal opinions. The Secretary of State has never lost his contact with the voters. That explains his strength with the people. He has come through the trials with dignity and integrity." The same might be said of Senator Wagner who also has been belittled by the same paper. People must discern against truth and wilful deception. The Axis Stops at Nothing. Don't stop your War Bond tt Payroll Savings at 10 . Every soldier is a 100 percenter. Fig-ure it out yourself.

Ogden A candidate for commissioner in Ogden told over the radio of some of the vice conditions in that city. Two startling things among the many were these: Thirteen-year-ol- d girls were soliciting soldiers on the streets at 25c per. A girl aged 15 had been arrested five times for prostitution. Let parents ponder these facts. Such juvenile delinquency is largely the result of the commercial system which rules in everything. Instead of force and law, try kindness, love, persuasion and friendly companionship. Save the children at any cost. The nerve centers of this global war reach straight to the temples of love in the hearts of the world's motherhood which, having given its sons, looks through suffused eyes upon the awful picture, and wonders why such infamies and cruelties have to be a part of existence. Though wrung wjth pain they are loyal still, and are nourishing the hope that because of the heroic efforts of the fighting forces all future motherhood and its sons may be saved from the catastrophe of war. Value of Friends C. V. Hansen Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." We have many acquaintan-ces, but real friends, they are few. This is no idle statement; weigh it carefully, perhaps you will discover it is a fact. We ask, What is a friend? You will answer, a friend is one who knows your faults but still loves you. Again, a friend is one who has been fine when life seemed rotten. One whose ideals you have not forgotten, that's a real friend. There are times when friends are worth more than material things. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A single real friend is a treasure worth more then gold or precious stones. Be thankful for your friends; those that are tried and true and have clung to you through the years that have past, sharing with your joys as well as your sorrows, and who have mingled with yours their smiles and tears. Thank God for your friends. m You Cannot Live Again In the Past All along the path of history are proofs that people cannot live in the past. In the main, the reactionaries are always in the wrong. Once upon a time hundreds of years ago, a not-ed man had a vision of the future and tried to turn men's minds away from the dead. past. He saw that men would fly through the skies, that voices would be heard around the world That houses would be of many stories and lighted without lamps; that power would come from water heated in a closed container. They thought he was crazy and hurried him away to jail. The first to translate the English Bible was imprison, ed and exiled The man who brought out the first New Test-ament was burned at the stake. In the beginnings of electri-city many said it was from the devil and petitioned against its use. For saving France and its king the sweet girl, Joan of Arc, was burned at the stake. And it is still in vogue today to look with contempt upon many of those with advanced ideas for human good. - - As we say elsewhere, the greatest "danger" to this land is the coming invasion of a foreign ISM from Pales-tine Jesus' undefiled ISM. Were he here we'll stake our life that he would not go about striking terror and de-spair into the lives of the poor as is now being done. Rather would he be crucified again. He could not do it! The first two of the Four Freedoms, freedom of speech and freedom of religion, are well established in this country, but not in most of the other countries Not so wiih Freedom from want and freedom from fear. These two, when made to serve the people, will be the glad fulfillment of prophesy utter-ed centuries ago. They will make alive and working the words ofthe prophet Micah: "They shall sit every man under his own wine aid fig tree; and none shall make tlum nfraid.' And of the words of the prophet. Isaiah : "They shall not hurt or destroy" I Peace! Freedom! The meaning and vision of these two words began to stir men when they were given voice, such as they have never been given voice before or since, by the ancient prophets. They gave the world its vision of peace and free-do- m but they also have given the. vision of this war, and have told us that "men shall cry peace, .peace but there wil! be no peace,'' until human life is shaped as they said it should be and takes unto itself the doctrines of the Stranger of Galilee Few appear to believe that the peace has long since been blue-printed and men's plans must eonform or fail |
