ity of buying from reputable merchants in our community
and do not have to leave our community to buy anything.
Our stores can supply your every need and you have
the added satisfaction of knowing that if anything you
buy does not measure up to what it is represented to be
you can go to your local merchant and he will either
refund your money or make a satisfactory adjustment.
This, in itself, is worth much more than the few paltry
cents vol may attempt to save by buying elsewhere. O.ur
local merchants pay the taxes which help to operate your
school, pave your roads, protect your home from robberies
ajrfi a thousand other services.
Get the habit of buying your needs in your own
county. Get the habit of iooking before you buy. Get the
habit of knowing when to look, and where to look. It is a
habit that will save you many dollars in the long run of a
'in year. As a habit it is one of the principal aides to success
life.
Study thp advertising pages of The Covington News
each week. Study them with a two-fold purpose—the
determining of what goods to buy and where to find them.
If a local merchant spends money in advertising his
wares, it is safe to assume that he is abie to make good
on every statement he makes. It is also safe to say that
a home man will do more for you than a stranger will do.
It is his way and it is a way which should appeal to you.
Get the habit of giving the home man the first chance.
Tt is a habit of which any person should feel justly proud.
It is a good habit and will pay you dividends in keeping
your money circulating in home channels instead of being
forever lost to this community.
But perhaps you are not a farmer, but a mechanic,
or trader. Then the responsibility rests even more heavily
upon you to keep your money in the home channels of
trade, because all of it came from the hard earnings of
your neighbors and friends, and you have no right to de
prive the community of the good it can do if circulated
therein.
Ym, we say no riprht. No man hag any right to be
disloyal to hia community. Deprive a man entirely of
community support and he becomes a parish—worse than
a Robinson GruSoe, for he is among his kind but not of
them. What loneliness could be more terrible?
If, then, you are thus dependent on your neighbors
and friends, do you not owe them an equal allesrience?
Are they tn consult your interests while you ignore theirs?
This were ingratitude of the basest sort. j
Just suppose that for a period of twelve months every
citizen of our county followed this example and did all of
his trading away from home? What condition would our
county he in? Would there be. a solvent merchant in it?
Not one. What of your schools, your churches, and all the
civilizing institutions of our land They might still survive
if you bare all the expense—not otherwise.
Think seriously of these things- Realize that if you
have the right to deprive your community of your money,
all your neighbors have equal right—then imagine the
consequence*.
Don’t be an ingrate! If you have a dollar to spend,
spend it at home. Thus it stays and works in the only spot
on God's earth in which you are interested. Send it away j
and it is gone forever. !
Til spitp of and threats of dictators and |
wars wars,
threats of dictators, taxes and unemployment, spring is
nearly here. It will do you good to get out in the open
and see how insignificant are the vanities of men and
politicians who are powerless to check the turn of the sea
sons, create the food that the world must eat, control the
coming of the new leaves, the grass, the calves, the lambs
and the pigs. How much more important is the work of
a good farmer than all the bombast of the mightiest die
tators or the mouthing* of the noisiest politicians.
Hopkins Faces Facts
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins’ recent Iowa speech
pointed directly and unerringly to the heart of our present
domestic difficulties.
There can he no stability in this country so long as
labor warfare disrupts industry and the ranks of labor
alike. There can be no prosperity so long as great indus
tries exist in a vacuum, because of fear of governmental
competition and “crack-down” legislation. There can be
no recovery worthy of the name so long as our relief
rolls stay at record levels and private business stagnates,
unable to absorb the unemployed. There can be no con
fidence 1o revive business so long as investors are in con
stant fear of some legislative bombshell being exploded
in Washington.
Mr. Hopkins did well to recognize these conditions
and not attempt to dodge facts. Business does not want
to remain in a state of paralysis. Investors don’t want
to hoard their money. Most of the unemployed don’1
want to stay on relief. To the contrary, business wants
to expand and go ahead, investors want to put their money
to work building up the country, the unemployed want
real jobs.
This is a great country. Its capacities to produce
and consume are close to limitless. There is no visible
ceiling to the extent to which it should he possible to raise
the standand of living of everyone. But—and here is a
big "but” indeed—private business, which makes all ma
ferial progress possible, must have confidence. It must
have faith. It must not he taxed to death. It must not
be legislated to death. It must be enocuraged to take the
risks that are an inescapable part of economic growth and
social development.
If this government actually puts into effect a con
structive policy such as described by Mr. Hopkins, there
will be a resurgence of industrial expansion that will
really bring recovery. He has pointed the sound way out
of the doldrums. It remains to he seen now whether other
in high position will take a similarly constructive

Sunday School Lesson
Peter Exhorts to Christian Living
Lesson: I Peter 3:8-18.
Golden Text: Like as he who
.:ailed you is holy, be ye yn * -’Ives 1
also holy in all manner of living. 1
Peter 1:15.
Our lesson today is a summary of
what Ppfer has been saying up to
thy time He urges his followers
to forsake fleshly lusts, put all evil
out of their lives, and by well-doing
put to silence the ignorance of fool
ish men.
First he urges them to be like
minded. This does not mean that
they are to give up their personali- j
ties and sink into a colorless uni
formitv of thought, but that they
are to be united in aim and purpose
W P should always remember that
there are certain things in our faith
which are unchangeable. On these
we are to be united; to them we are
to give our complete loyalty. But
when these unchangeable truths
flow through the different person- j
alities and temperaments found in !
the Christian Church, the result Is
not dead uniformity, but variety in
unity.
The second virtue he enumerates
is compassion. This means the
willingness to suffer with others.
It was a favorite word withf.the gos
pel writers. Wherever our Master
looked upon men in trouble, he had
compassion upon them.
Peter goes on to commend love for
the brethren. The thing which as
tonished the ancient world was the
love these early Christians had for
each other.
True Christian faith and strife
never go together. A church split in
to contentious factions is a scandal
in the sight of God and man and an
affront to the teachings of our
L“rd.
The disciples were to be tender
hearted. One need only look at the
hospitals and asylums of mercy
which through the ages have been
,-tablished in the name of Jesus to
realize to what extent tender-heart-
3C j n ess is part and parcel of Christ
ian fai t h .
peter urged his readers to be
tumble, and above all not to render
mil for evil or reviling for reviling,
Doubtless the patience with which
fesus had endured the suffering on
be cross had made a deep impres
bon upon all the disciples. We are
old that when christ wa * reviled
he reviled not again. Thus He put
into practice that hard preaching
of his, that men were not to resist
evil but to love their enemies, turn
the other cheek, and go the second
mile. With the memory of Jesus'
patient suffering still in Peter's
mind almost forty years after the
crucifixion, he writes these early
disciples urging them to render good
for evil and assuring them that such
action will bring them the reward
of a great blessing.
Christianity promise rewards, and
we can be sure that if we return
good for evil, our Heavenly Father
will reward us with some precious
gift out of his love,
Then Peter goes on to quote the
thirty-fourth psalm in confirmation
of his own teaching.
This psalm contains the declara
ion that if a man would love life
and see good days, he must refrain
his tongue from evil, and his lips
that they speak no guile.
And how true it is that days
so often made unhappy and lives
sometimes embittered by the
spoken word. We can break
a chUd or wreck a
shi P of lon e >' e;,rs ' Ending by the
evl1 word whlch slips qukkly from
t-he tongue and can never be re
cadled
Surely if we would enjoy life, one
of the first things we must do is to
control the tongue lest it corrupt or
wound those about us.
In verse fourteen of psalm thirty
four the psalmist makes the
emphasis by saying that happiness
:n life depends upon our turning
sway from evil and doing good.

When we pray to our Father in
heaven, “lead as," it is partly be
cause we do not know enough about
the path we ought to walk in to go (
alone; and so we desire the all-wise
God, who knows all things, to lead
u«.
A little boy, went with his father
hunting one night, as they went far
ther and farther into the woods the ;
little boy lost his way and said to
his father, we will never get home
again. But his father told him that
he knew the way and would lead
him safely home, and he took his
hand, and whenever he felt afraid
he would say, “Father, you do know
the way, don't you? You will lead
me home because you love me, won't
you, father?” So let us remember
when we pray to our heavenly Fath
er, “Lead us,” that He knows the
best way for us, and will lead us
safely home to heaven. If we pray
to him and obey him. If any one but
God leads us In the journey of life,
it will be like the blind leading the
blind, which makes both fall into
the pit; for no one but God know’s
just what we ought to do and where
we ought to go. It is dangerous for
us to follow man. because his way is
not always the right way. Therefore
we should ask our heavenly Father,
to lead us that we may know the
way.
But there is another part to this
oraver, “Lead us not into tempta
ti:n.” We ask God. -who knows
where there in danger and sin. to
guide us away from them whenever
it is best for us; and we ask God. be
cause He has strength for His chil
dren. to give us power to resist and
refuse all temptations when we must
meet them.
Jesus knows how to help us m
temptation, for He was tempted.
The devil made him think of us
ing his wonderful power to tempt
His Father, but He told the devil to

good thing in life Is achieved with
out, struggle. Good conduct comes
as the result of much self-discip
line. Confronted by temptation, we
are resolutely to turn our backs up
on it, go in the direction of good, and
at all times busy ourselves to pro
mote peace with others.
The psalmist, whom Peter quotes
m this connection, goes on to as-
8Ure us that God continually looks
with loving favor upon those who
try to do his will and listens sympa
thcticaily to their supplications. But
turns a stern gaze upon those
w ’ho do evil and persist in it. The
loving-kindness of God is poured
out without measure upon the right
eous and upon those who have
sinned and truly repented. But up
on those who hate good and love
Pvil the heavy hand of retribution
must inevitably fall.
We should keep in the forefront
of mir thinking at all times this
great truth, that in God's universe
sood Is always rewarded and evil
always punished.
“Who is he that will harm you.’’
asks Peter, “if ve be zealous of that
which is good?’*
This sounds like Paul's declara
tion. “If God be for us. who can
be against us?"
And who. as a matter of fart, can
harm us if we do that which is
right? The most steadying influence
in our lives should be the conviction
that God is in control of everything,
and if we cast our lot with that
- hirh is upright, honest, pure, and
of good report, we have the whole
power of God on our side every
minute of the day.
We can afford to be confident if
we are right The only fear we
should ever have is of being on th
side of evil, which must inevitably
lead to disaster,
Saints and martyrs in every ag*
have bsen sustained by this faith
They knew that if they did the
tight thing. God would take care
of them. And tha, should be our
faith today. We are not responsible
for the issue of things—issues are
in the hands of God— but we are re
sponsible for our own actions. W^
ran will to do either good or evil
The faith which our religion fur
nishes us is that if we consistently
do good God will be on our side, pro
tecting us from disaster and reward
in us wi 'h peace and triumph.
Therefore Peter urges his asso
dates in the faith to fear not, neith
er to be troubled They are to set
Christ up in their hearts as Lord
and Master.
If they do this, the world can do
nothing against them. “This is the
victory which overcometh the world,
even our faith” (I John 5:4L
Peter says that it is the duty of
the Christian to be able to give an
appropriate and adequate answer
when confronted by issues.
Observe that Peter does not urge
Christians to go out o f their way
s r eking controversy But when
skepticism and unbelief challenge a
Christian anywhere at any time, he
is to speak up with the authority
> hich the Spirit gives him and tes
tify in behalf of truth.
Let us keep the gospel of Jesus
j Christ in our hearts, and what nwn
say against our religion will never
j disturb our faith,
If we have a good conscience, de
dares Peter, we will put to shame
those who revile our good manner
of life in Christ. Then he goes on
to declare that if we must suffer,
let us be sure to suffer for well
doing and not for evil-doing. Chris’
I sufferpd drpad f»»y on the cross, not
because he had done evil, but be
cause he had done good; and Peter
emphasizes that if we do the same
j thing, we will enter into the re
wards which Christ alone can give.
Sinful men put Christ to death in
i the flesh, but God made him alive
in the spirit. Accordingly if we suf
fer for doing what is right, we can
be sure that, through Jesus Chris!
God will reward us out of his rich
treasure.
