Robert R. Fowler, Sr.
Covington sustainpd a severe loss in the death of
Robert R. Fowler, Sr. He. stood for everything that was
good in the community. His years of service to his
his county and his church were well known and he was
loved and honored by all.
Few men have given of their time and substance as
he did for over a half a century to make the place in which
he lived a better place to live and paved the way for those
who come on behind.
His life was an example for younger men. He and
his beloved wife centered their lives around the church
and their Christian influence radiated from their church
to every corner of this community. Board of
For fifty-three years a member of the
Stewards of the First Methodist church, forty-five years
as its treasurer; half a century a member of the City
Board of Education, treasurer of St. Bernard Commandery
Knight Templars and treasurer of the Royal Arcanum for
nearly half a century. His honors and different services
rendered his fellow man are too numerous to mention.
P’or forty years he was associated in business with
his brother, E. W. Fowler, in general mercantile business
and through this business connection was well known to
practically every citizen of the county.
A life spent so worthily should be measured by nobler
lines—by deeds, not years, His life, faithfully recorded,
is a succession of worthy deeds performed in the interest
of all mankind. Surely at the end of it His Master re
ceived him Avith the words; “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
He was truly blessed, as are few men, with a devoted
helpmate at his side who shared with him in his services
to mankind, guiding him in her sweet understanding way
always in the paths of righteousness.
His life was sweetened in his later years by the
marriage of his only son to a lovely lady and this union
has been blessed with three children, who were the light
of their grandfather’s life.
When his last days came he was tranquil and serene
in the knowledge that he had followed the rule of life
quoted below;
“So live, that when thy summons comes to join,
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.”
He leaves a devoted wife and a fine son who will fol
low in the footsteps of his illustrous father. The editor
joins with their thousands of friends in this community in
extending to them heartfelt sympathy in their great loss.
Keep Your Head
Rarely in our history has it been so necessary for
Americans to keep their heads as it is today.
The most ghastly of all tragedies has engulfed Eu
rope. It is the burning hope of the vast majority of our
people that we may escape the holocaust of destruction.
We have not forgotten the World War. It sowed the
and that
followed. We have not forgotten that thousands of
American lives and untold billions in American wealth
and resources were sacrificed. Only history will even
tually reveal what good, if any, came from that war.
The President has said that as long as it remains
within his power, there shall be no “blackout of peace”
« in this nation. In that he echoes the minds and hearts of
MAS all of us. But the mere wish is not enough. Hysteria,
passion, fanaticism, mistaken idealism—these things can
be the producers of ruin and horror. American neutrality
« is dependent upon America keeping its head.
|t No one knows when the war will end, or who will
be the “victor.” But certainly there is justified fear that
all that is best in Europe may be lost to that continent for
many years after hostilities have stopped. War means
that the arts of peace must be ruthlessly dropped in order
that the arts of death and destruction may be advanced.
The preservation of liberties which have been won
through uuuugi centuries, are threatened in a warring world.
Newspaper Advertising Foremost
Despite the appearance of other advertising media.
the newspaper remains the most productive channel
whereby industry can reach the buying public and industry
is fully aware of that fact.
A recent survey well illustiates the sustained popular-,
ity of newspapers among advertisers. The survey was
made by four national associations sening Cham stores,
and covering 138 representative systems operating more
than 33,000 stores, coast-to-coast, and having annual sales
well in excess of $3,000,000,000.

money was spent with newspapers. A little less than 10
I per cent was spent on handbills and similar printed mat
ter, much of which was produced in local newspaper

V i « chains spent 82.24 per cent of their advertising dollar with

I Sunday School Lesson
ISAIAH: FORETELLING THE
BIRTH OF THE MESSIANIC
KING.
Lesson: Isaiah 7:14; 9:1-7; 11:1-5.
1 Golden Text His name shall be
| called Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father
Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6.
Ahaz. the vacillating king of Ju
dah, was thinking of calling in for
eign help to protect him from the
kings of Israel and Syria. Isaiah’s
counsel was that he should trust
God, and he assured the cowardly
king that if he did so, he would be
unharmed. He asked Ahaz to re
quest a sign from heaven, which
the king refused to do. Whereupon
Isaiah declared that a sign would
be given nevertheless. A virgin
would conceive and bring forth a
son and before the child had
reached sufficient maturity to know
good from evil, the two countries
Ahaz abhorred-israei and syria
would be forsaken of their kings
and people would be carried off into
captivity.
The child was to be called Im
manuel, which means, “God with
us.” His coming was symbolic of
Judah’s great need. The king
thought the nation needed allies and
protective agreements; God’s pro
phet insisted that the need was for
deeper spiritual life. Ahaz put his
emphasis on externals, Lsaiah on
things of the inner nature. Ahap
trusted in the arm of flesh; Isaiah
put his confidence only in the j
mighty hand of God.
The world usually votes with Ahaz
but history vindicates the Isaiahs.
The nation that puts its trust in
God will see time play havoc with
its enemies.
The prophecy Isaiah made had to
do with a local historical situation, j
But with the eye of a prophet he
looked ahead and saw that the local
situation had a significance which
transcended the centuries. If showed
forth in symbolic language a plan
God had for the redemption of the
whole race. We need God in our
lives, he declared (Immanuel, God
with us), and when that blessing is
ours there will be no gloom. The
people that dwell in darkness will
see a great light, their joy will be
full, the rod of their oppressor will
be broken as in the day when Gid
eon defeated the Midianites, Best
of all strife among men will every
where cease. The armor of the
armed man and the garments
soaked with blood will be burned
up. Peace will be established in hu
man relationships.
But the reason why this mighty
change will take place appears at
first a ridiculour anticlimax. A lit
tle baby is to be born. By his com
ing the darkness will be dispelled'
and strife will cease.
Yes. For while there is still plen
ty of darkness in the world, and
men still fly at each other’s throats
these things take place outside the
circle where the spirit of Christ
reigns. He came into the world a
little babe, foretold by a great pro
phet who lived seven centuries be
fore his birth; and wherever the
spirit of Christ is. there is light and
peace.
Isaiah gave the Messiah five
each one describing some di-
characteristic.
First, he would be called Wonder
Great wonders would be assoc
iated with his career This, of
was w'hat happened in the
life of Christ. The blind received
their sight, the lame walked, the
lepers were healed, the deaf
and the poor had the gospel
preaC hed to them.
it i s not surprising that men ex
claimed at his miracles. It had been
foretold ihat his life would be
called Wonderful.
The Messiah, when he came
would also be called Counsellor. Men
would find in his life and teachings
only sure way of life The first
Christians were caned Children o:
the Way ; They found ln ^

upon which a satisfying life can be
built.
In this twentieth century, the

as they were int the first. This Is be
cause they are perfectly adapted to
the needs of human nature.

The term “Prince of Peace” has
been seized upon by the modern
world as representing one of the
great hopes we have in Jesus, A
world torn by chaos and war looks
to him for the final solution of its
troubles
Only as the peoples of the world;
accept Jetus Christ and try to build
THE COVINGTON NEWS
their national life on the principles
he laid down, can we hope for a
promise that he would bring peace,
and a war-torn world today looks
to him as its only hope.
We must choose between Christ
and Mars: between the Prince of
Peace and the break-up of modern
civilization by war.
We : re told that of the increase
of his government and of peace
there shall be no end.
Of this we can be sure; that God (
desires peace to be established [
among men, and that all things are 1
hold possible the with Christian God. It ideal is our task to |
aloft that
men may see and follow.’
We are taught that the zeal of
Jehovah of Hosts will perform this;
which means that if we do our duty
God will do the wonderful things
needed for the achieving of won
derful ends.
Isaiah declared that, when the
messiah came, he would be “a shoot
out of the stock of Jes6e ... a
branch out of his roots . . .
In another place he spoke of the
surrounding nations as great cedars.
When a cedar is cut down, shoots
never grow up from its roots and
become trees. It is only in the case
of trees like the oak that this is
true. Isaiah was always saying that
when the nor-Jewish civilizations
w’ere destroyed, that would be the
end of them, but when the Israel
ites were carried off into captivity,
a remnant would return, and out of
this remnant, like a strong, straight
oak tree, would grow the Saviour of
the world.
We should never be discouraged
when good projects seem to fail; It
they have vitality shoots will grow
up from the stump and grow into
tall trees. God always works with
remnants. God uses the weak things
of the world that He may put to
shame the things that are strong.
Isaiah prophesied that the Mes
siah would have “The spirit of wis
dom and understanding, the spirit
of counsel and might, the spirit of
knowledge and of the fear of Jeho
vah.” His judgment would not be
superficial as the judgment of the
world is. but he would judge the
poor with righteousness, give the
meek their just due, and put down
the wicked. ‘And righteousness,” he
concluded, “shall be the girdle of
hig waist, and faithfulness the girdle
of his loins.’’
All of these things were perfectly
fulfilled in the life of Jesus. His wis
dom, justice and deep compassion
for human needs have caused even
people of other religions to regard
him with admiration and trust.
Jesus is God coming to sr.ve in
the form of human perfection. It is
this combination of divinity and
humanity which makes him indeed
our Saviour.

The Psalmist said. “A man's heart
deviseth his way; but the Lord di
rect eih his ;;teps.” This is a most
significant statement in this day
when ambitious dictators are en
deavoring to build empires. Through
the centuries man has tried to run
his own affairs. What a mess he has
made! Alexander the Great could
conquer a world but could not con
quer himself. Napoleon left r path
of blood as his army marched to
victory and then to defeat. God is
running this universe. Man cannot
run it. Of course, there is the di
rective as well as the permissive will
of God. God is not always directing
the affairs of men but God permits
men who are in rebellion against
Him to have their own way for a
season. "I cannot understand God, ’
someone said. A God that man
could understand would not be a big
enough God to run a universe and
work out a plan of redemption for a
fallen race. His thoughts are not

our thoughts. Out yonder in eternity
we shall understand some things we
do not understand now. God loves
us. We can understand that. He Is
our Father and “Like as a father
pitieth His children so He pitieth
us’’ in this time of crisis and strange
world i tovements.
"In Thy presence is fullness of
joy; and at Thy right hand there
are plea-tires forever more.” We
read these wonderful words in the
sixteenth Psalm. The world has no
joy and no abiding pleasure to of
fer any man. Jesus said He would
give us His peace, and not as the
world giveth peace. The world al
ways offers counterfeit money. God
gives the genuine coin. In His pres
ence there is fullness of joy. In fel
lowship with Him, in family prayer,
in private devotions, on a crowded
highway, aboard a railroad train, on
a ship at sea, in the flying machine,
in the barnyard of the old country
place, alone under the starlit sky at
midnight, in our native land or on
foreign soil—wherever we find His
presence we find that which satis
fies the heart. We find ft llness of
joy. The pleasure at His right hand
is pleasure forever more. We speak
of W’orldly pleasure. Worldly pleas
ure may gratify, but heavenly pleas
ure satisfies^. There may be tem
porary gratification in a champagne
cup or a wine glass There may be
a sensual, fleshly gratification which
a godless man finds at the devil’s
parties. The world is taking that
which gratifies instead of that
which satisfies. A man who once
comes to know the joy of commun
ion with God and who once par
takes of heavenly pleasure loses
taste for anything the devil has to
offer.
