We have laws that seek to prevent murder. We should have laws that seek to prevent treason before it brings trouble A certain magazine we can nams it which circulates across the country, said in a late issue that Roosevelt will bo out of the presidency within six months and that their man will take it over,intimating that the president would be either assasinated, impeached or forced out. A previous magazine published by "their man" actually advocated assastnation by a man who volunteered to do it. Don't do it men It will destroy you. It will also destroy half of those who oppose you. It will destroy your cotintry, and your eyes, if you sur-vive, will look upon ' the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious union." This is not a cry of "Wolf," but a timely and truthful warning, . This paper told more than two months ago that Persia wo Id be in the war and take her part with the dictators. She is in but will she be with Hitler. Some predict that Russia and Germany will yet form an alliance. But, as we believe, that will be in the grave. progressive opinion editorials By C. N.

"Not. in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway which ends inevitably in chaos and disaster, but in blazing a hew trail, along which please God, other nation will follow, into the New Jerusalem where wars shall be no more "Some day some nation must take that path unless we are to lapse once again into utter barberism and that honor I covet for my beloved America. ' And so, in that spirit arid with these hopes, I say with all my heart and soul, 'America.' " Bishop G. Ashton Oldham k Is All a Stage of Evolution THE NEXT NINE YEARS An Analysis and a Prophecy by Wing Anderson First Printing, July 1938 PROPHETS AND PROPHECIES Foremost scientists of today accept time as a fourth dimen-sion and realize that past, present and future are one in reality but separate in the conscionusness of individuals living in q three dimensional world. The future is a present fact and it is for this reason that the future can be foretold by those who have the ability to cognize that part of time which ever remains invisible to those less gifted, even though their per-ception be intermittent and fleeting. Authenticated prophecies are numerous. Perhaps the best known prophet, whose prognostications have been verified, is old Michel Nostradamus who lived in the sixteenth century. Between the years 1553 and 1556 this man wrote nearly a thousand four-lin- e verses dealing with the immediate future qnd extending many centuries ahead. There is no doubt what-ever that this man once lived for we'know far more about him than is known about Shakespeare. The1 facts bf hisjife and prophecies are not only attested by reliableiistorians but there are in existence many copies of his PROPHETIC CENTURIES. There is today, in the British Museum, a copy of a book con-taining his prophecies, which was printed in the year 1606. Verse .834 hot only gives an account of the activities of two men born in 1758, two hundred years after the verge wds written,, but also names the men. Several of the verses name men born many years after Michel Nostradamus' death. He speaks of the French palace, The Tuileries, built many years after his death, mentions Nopollart, and several other rulers of France who took office centuries after his verses were written. Like most prophecies, those of Nostradamus were written in a style to conceal their meaning; until after the events fore-told had transpired.. His verses are full of anagrams, puns, plays on words, and cryptic forms; hard to interpret until events mentioned have taken place, then their meaning be-comes perfectly clear. Perhaps the best analogy of past, present and future is the motion picture. The complete story is on the film at all times. The past is comparable to that part of the story which has been screened, the present to that. which is before the eyes of the audience and the future is that part of the story still on the reels waiting to' pass hrough the projection mach-ine. As it takes, a combination of film, light, lens and screen to make the picture visible to us, so must there be some com-- " bination of unknown elements that make the future cogniz-able, at times, to those we call prophets. It is very improbable that anyone ever lived who could see the future as a clear, continuous, unfolding picture but many have been given in-termittent glimpses of future events. 1 Editorial (CONTINUED) that is needed, it is the wisdom of the heart, out of which are the issues of life. According to Gladstone the conservative and upper classes have never been right on a single major is- - sue of reforms for human welfare. f Some Lawyers Plucked the Eight Points Like Jerusalem's Lawyers Plucked the Beatitudes and The Golden Rule When the world's two strongest men stood face to face upon the high seas on the imperishable foundations of demo-crats faith and the best Christianity known, and flashed a light of hope to a d world the only light so far to penetrate the abysmal gloom, certain ones were delving deep to find some dirt to cast upon the result Immediately when the result was known they descended, vulture like, oh the eight point program, not to find anything good but for the purpose of detroying its influence They pounced upon this noble program much like the law-ye- is of Jerusalem pounced upon ev?ry principle in the program of Jesus, an gloated over their destructive work just like the national and international lawyers of old gloated over their picking to pieces of the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule. Editorial tearing to pieees of the eight points, in some instances, came from a source which has not in nine years had a breath of good will toward their own American government. All of them are busy garnishing the sepulchres of dead politi-cal prophets. But they, themselves, could no more make a ; working poliical plan to guarantee world peace than those ancient hy porites could have brought forth the gospel If Jesus Christ had handed his program for world govern-- I ment and world peace to Churchill and Roosewelt on that i historic occasion, and told them to give it to the public, these 1 ultra conservatives would tear it to pieces. Their wisdom pe- - rished. It died with the Harding-Hoov- er regime and cannot ) , now be revived to do any good. It is not so much intellect Continued in Next Column Citizens, Feel Proud of Your Country. Editor Progressive Opinion: We hear a great deal about loyalty and patrotism, but the way that certain people speak and act it would seem that they don't quite understand the meaning of loyalty. First, to be loyal means to be "True and faithful to one's sovereign; devoted to the maintenance of law and order.'" Second, lo be patriotic means, to "Love one's country; and to be zealous 'n defending and supporting its interests " Those who do not adhere to and govern their lives according to these principles are not truly patriotic. Let every American feel proud of his country, and have an assurance in his heart that this land, is choice above all other lands, and that no other people under the sun, shall ever posses it. This great nation will endure as it has endured and will survive: provididing that the land will turn unto their God, and acknowledge him the giver-o- f all good. By His power, nations have ri'sen, and empires have fallen, and looking back at the glorious past of our national life, it is plain to see that God has blessed America. C. V.

If you have in mind any good that you wish to do, do it ' today, tomorrow may be too late. The other day we attend- - j ed a funeral. A speaker told of a visit, he and his wife made j to the man in the hard days of his sickness. The wife was a member of a ladie's quartet, and they promised to come again some evening and bring the singers to sing for him a number of his native country's songs He said he would welcome them and fix up and dress up for their visit. He kept wondering when they would come. They finally came and sang one of the songs, but it was for and at the funeral! And he was fixed up and dressed up for their visit! Among life's j saddast words are these Too late; f - Shall Such a System Survive? The aftermath of national association by some of the powers of Europe is very much in evidence in Spain, so much so that it is heart-rendin- g to read of the conditions which exist there. From reports given out by Red Cross workers and published in Magazine E)ige8t, it is stated that hundreds of thousands of children and women and men are actually star-ving to death. The children are mere shadows and ready at any moment to fall in death for lack of food Such are the conditions everywhere in the country districts of that and millions will die before next spring because of want in that un happy country. But in the centers like Madrid the ruling class and capitalistic exploiters are reveling in luxury with an abundance of food, fancy clothing, wines and liquors, and the young widows and daughters of.extinguished citizens for play-things. This is a barbaric condi' ton and it exits, to a great" i er or less extent, in every capitalistic country on earth.
