Show THE BEAVER PRESS, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1945 is required on our part if we keep these commandments. 'We cannot be and grasping, and at the same time keep either of these laws. Rather, we must overcome selfishness, and learn to be kind and generouB. The unselfish attitude is the e attitude. The Christ-lik- e example is one of loving service to others. The selfish person may gratify his own conceit by his selfish acts, but he will never know the real joy of service to others. The Lord had in mind this doctrine of unselfishness when he taught, "Whosoever will save his own life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" There was no selfishness in the labor, death and atonement of Christ. Neither can there be selfishness on our part as we attempt to follow him. Men fighting on far battlefi.u. are not quitting now to loofc self-center- ed . fnr rost-wa- r job".

The following s reproduced from the editorial page of the Church section of the Des-erNews of May 19. It is so good and so encouraging we cannot refrain from reproducing it, despite the fact that a great many of our readers may have read it. It seems to us to augur well for the new leadership of the Church, and is along the line of preachment one might have a right to expect from a church bearing the name of Christ. Read and ponder it well, for it is excellent food for thought : ct The life of Christ was one of unselfishness. Throughout his ministry he went about doing good. He was always giving to other people. Sometimes his gifts were in the form of healings, for he healed many who were sick, lame and blind. Twice he fed the hungry multitude, and several times he raised the dead. Finally he gave his life for all men, dying on the cross of Calvary. He was no respector of persons. No one was so poor or so lowly that he could not follow the Christ. Worldly position did not enter into his minis- trations. It was the heart, not the station, of the individual, that was important in his eyes. If we study his life and commandments, we will find them filled with teachings centering around the subject of selfishness or unselfishness; of giving or receiving. We all remember the story of the rich young man who desired to know what good thing he could do to be saved. At the close of the convention, Jesus told him to sell his goods, give to the poor, and come and follow him. The rich young man turned away sorrowing. He was so selfish, he did not desire to give away his wealth. He loved himself and his riches more than he loved his fellow-me- n and God. The story of the good Samaritan, in the last analysis, Is a story of unselfishness selfishness oh the part of those who pretended to be religious, but would not put themselves out to aid an injured traveler: and of unselfishness on the part of the hated Samaritan who freely gave his time, his effort and his means to help the one in need. An outstanding instance of the Lord's attitude toward selfishness is found in the story of the unjust servant who obtained forgiveness of his debts from a king, and then went for not returnout and jailed a ing the money he owed him. This type of action was roundly criticized by the Lord. There is also the rebuke dealt by the Lord to the people who seemed to follow him for the sake of what food they could get for nothing. This stand by our Lord recorded in John He 6, followed the feeding of the multitude. there clearly taught that people should have In mind what they can give, not what they can get, by following the Master. Jesus taught them to love. Love is best expressed through devoted service. If we love ourselves, we will devotedly serve ourselves and look after our own interests, regardless of how it may affect others. But if we love others, we will devotedly seek ways of doing good things ior them. The Lord gave us two great commandments: The first, to love God with all our hearts, and the second, to love our neighbors as well as we love ourselves. Unselfishness fellow-serva- nt 0 BEAVER DRUG COMPANY Telephone No. Utah Beaver, The most revolting and sickening spectacle this writer has ever seen was being shown at the local movie theatre this week. It was views of some of the German prison camp atrocities. We boast about our modern tivilization, and talk of how dreadful it would be if it were to he destroyed, but the dark ages can call up nothing half so hideous as what has been going on behind the scenes in Germany since Hitler assumed power. WHITHER TO, NOW? YOUR COMPANY Prime Minister Churchill of England has resigned as head of his government,' and it is expected that King George will instruct him to form a new cabinet. If this is done, it will probably be less liberal than the coalition cabinet which it succeeds, and which has endured for ten years, with occasional votes of confidence to sustain it, as a war necessity. The opM)sition that has caused the, English government to collapse came from the left the labor party led by Clement Attlee, and is just one of the symptoms of world change and unrest evident in many parts of the globe. England's imperialistic and plutocratic tendencies, supported in the main by Churchill and Eden, and apparently backed by the United States government, is primarily the cause of the friction. It is an attitude diametrically opposed to world peace and security. England has always relied upon force to hold her empire together: a powerful navy, her armed forces, plus adroit diplomacy and power politics, have been her weapons for keeping her colonies subservient and her home people under control. In her dilema of war and threatened conquest by Germany, she was very humble and receptive of any and all assistance from whatever source, and was unstinting in her promises of good behavior and reciprocity .'ljut with Germany defeated, her thirst for power, prestige and dominance mounts once more, and she is especially enxious to curtail Russia's influence as a word power, and to preserve her present d economy; also to dominate Europe and the Mediterranean. The English labor party is now demanding state socialism. An election is scheduled for next July. So long as these unholy ambitions exist so long as there is exploitation of man by man, and competition instead of cooperation there is small chance for enduring world peace. Even now there are a lot of trouble spots Trieste is one and 1'oland is another; France is a great question mark, with England, America and Russia all juggling for positions. Germany has surrendered, but is still the greatest problem of all, and may at any time prove the "delayed mine" which can' set off another world conflict. . At the bottom of all this unrest is the arch enemy of mankind selfishness.' Nineteen hundred years ago the Man of Galilee gave us an antidote for this greatest of human curses. It looks good, sounds good, but it has never been seriously practiced. That's why the people of the world can't get along together.
