Show the words safely through another week come to to mind as we prepare copy for the next issue of our paper and as we review the happenings of past days when it fell to our lot to contact many of the local folks in quest for news and other material to relay to you it was a pleasant experience because of the friendly cooperation extended although one of continuous plodding on our part in order to complete the issue and send it forth at the appointed time it so happened there was a lot of news to gather and we appreciate the help extended in all ways and directions we have added another local cor correspondent respondent esponde nt to our staff of assistants as mrs william hyde 0 has volunteered to collect news items concerning social or personal ers onal affairs please keep this in mind local friends and if you contact mrs hyde or mrs H E blake or mrs L frank redd tell them of any bits of news you would like to mention in regard to what you or your families are doing with the opening of school several weeks hence we expect to publish school notes and we are also trying to encourage the younger set of our town and in the outlying districts to tell us what they are doing in regard to social or club work if enough of this kind of material comes to our notice we will set aside a special page for such news under a proper heading to designate the various activities of young pe opple on page 12 we will review other thoughts taking form as we continue our forward lookin looking g efforts toward adjustment of the present uncertainties there is no such word as cant in our vocabulary and with the continued help of nearby and distant friends we will pull out of the seeming depression of past weeks we call attention to an excerpt from a monthly publication called the defender published in wichita kansas quoting from rev the editor gerald B adds the following the precision with which international trends are fitting into bible prophecy answers those critics who in the past have said that studies of theological science involve an innocent but meaningless diversion the practical use of prophetical knowledge has been clearly demonstrated by recent happenings among the nations the bible notably the books of daniel ezekiel and revelation contain messages adaptable to the present period of the worlds history the writers of these prophetic documents were unmistakably illuminated from a supernatural source writing under inspiration they saw events unfold themselves centuries ahead of time it would be time well spent to review the books mentioned and meditate thereon as we take account of things happening in this our day and generation we hope you are taking note of the many progressive things mentioned in the record last week and again in this issue although the world in general is in a state of uncertainty and seeming disruption things of material nature must go forward with the same interest as ever before since it would avail little to read of any form of prophecy and become dis heartened because of it just as the planets move and have their being in the heavens and affect life on this planet so must we who are a part thereof accept of the adverse conditions in this great accounting time and put forth still greater effort to improve the maladjustments adjustments mal which are a part of each ones life alifi at times and to think and speak and act in the most constructive way possible in order to offset the opposition directed toward us as the fulfillment of age old prophecy begins to manifesto manifest to put our trust in god is not enough we must combine our knowledge and the work of our hands toward the betterment of our respective communities and to this end we must unite more definitely and wholeheartedly whole heartedly than ever before because jesus was capable of loving he had the might and the power to overcome even death he overcame the world through love bishop otto melle |
