Outlook Good for Covington .
As we enter the year 1040 there seems to lie every
prospect for a pood year for our city and county. The
Covington merchants experienced their best holidays sea
§on in many years and consequentlv ‘ are in better shape
financially than in former vears.
Many Manv impi imnrovements . have been made in our citv ' and
County. Ise\* additions to )U1^C nt. t , h n i avstem ‘ • have

been completed and the new Gymnasium tot the Coving
ton High School with additional class rooms has also been
added. High School
Two new courses have been added to our
which make it accredited in every sense of the word and
greater things are expected of our graduates.
As we look back on the old year there is not much
to criticise . . . , but . much , praise • is . due , \ to all )i our citizens and
officials. Working together the merchants have secured
a new industry which will add several hundred dollars
in the course of a year to our weekly payroll.
Our mills are working steadily and have many orders
ahead to assure them of continued work. Business con
ditions throughout the country are good and are expected
to . continue ,. to . improve.
Very little adverse legislation to business and the
"poor” b^ins taxpayers is expected from the Congress which
work today. Every four year., the taxpayer be
comes a “voter and consequently has to be considered
before any drastic legislation is passed and we can count
on very little being done to hurt business or individuals
this year.
Altogether we “enter the scene with high hopes and
buoyant prospects” this year and much is expected from
1940. It is our earnest wish to all our advertisers, sub
scribers and friend, that the New Year will live „p to. if
not exceed, all the rood things expected and that Prove

Ring In The New!
As tve celebrate the coming of the new year and tack
the 1040 calendar up on the wall, it makes a lot of differ
ence in looking back and in looking ahead whether w r e
consider things from the point of view of the w'hole world,
or just of the United States.
The world, and especially Europe, will probably find
little reason to remember 1939 with affection. But this
country—though worried and shaken by the hard reality
of abroad—find „ certain . aspects of the domestic
a war
picture that ought to cheer it up.
One of the chief of these is the appearance of a
business recovery that this time seems to be the “real
thing.” Not a war boom, but an industrial upsurge that
is meeting the long delayed needs of Americans the coun
try over, it shows promise of continuing the march towards
higher standards of living that has in the past been typi
cal of this nation as of no other.
Continuation of this drive towards prosperity on a
sound basis, of course, will depend upon keeping certain
fundamentals in mind. Some of these have fallen into
neglect during the years of depression, and New Years
is a logical time for all Americans to get them clearly
in mind again In this light, it would be well for all of
us who have this country s welfare at heart to make a
resolution to support and encourage the following
mentals wherever and whenever the opportunity
itself: :
(1) Preservation of liberty for individuals as
as it does not conflict with the public interest.
(2) Maintenance of government in the place allot
ted to it by the Constitution—as the people's servant, not
as their master.
(3) Government through the orderly processes
vided in the law, rather than by decrees and bureaus.
(4) Avoiding extravagance in state and
government whenever it is found to exist, so that the
taxes collected from the people mav be used entirely for
the people’s welfare.
(5) Raising of the American standard of living to
even higher levels of adherence to the time tested prin
ciples of individual private enterprise and incentive.
(6) Keeping secure our three freedoms—represen
tative political democracy, religious and other liberties,
and private enterprise—realizing all must stand or fall
together.
If we keep these resolutions in mind, maintain these
national aims, all of us as individuals can look forward to
a happy and prosperous New Year and many more to
come.

Facing the Problem
We say there are just two kinds
of people—the saved and the tin
saved. We hold that the saved
are those who, having repented of
sin, have taken Christ as Saviour
and Lord ' We believe that those
who have thus accepted Christ;
should confess h,m in ba P tlsm and
! serve him through ctiurch mem- i
bership. We teach that church
members should be followers of;
Christ in sacrificial service and in
the bringing in of the kingdom of
heaven. Yet there are thousands
of a11 around us who have
never the mitial s t ep m

have never made public confes
sion of him, and still other thou

j question. This was easy to an
swer for they had just been lis
tening to the many opinions ex
P ressed about Jesus. Then came
lhe crucial question: “But whom
say ye that 1 am? ” 11 waa Peter
who arose to the occasion and re
j plied in that simplest and greatest
J of all confessions of faith: “Thou
; art the Christ, the Son of the liv
ing God.” The heart of Jesus
exulted as he turned to Peter and
said to him, and through him to
the others, “Upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it.”
Why did these men thus confess
Christ. They knew him, they
were convinced that he was more
than r. man, they reverenced and

Why did these first men join
the company of Christ out of
w hich he built his church? They
no t on ] y believed in him, but
they believed that he needed
them and that they could have a
share with him in this greatest en
terprise in the world. They were
saved men who accepted the
Lordship of Christ; and were now
ready to give their lives to his
service.
Are not these still the reasons
why converted people join Christ’s
church?
The prospect which Jesus im
mediately held out to these men
was not an attractive one. He told
them plainly that he must go
again to Jerusalem, "and suffer
many things of the elders and
chief priests and scribes, and be
killed, and be raised again the
third day.” Is it any wohder that
the hopes of the disciples fell, and
that Peter should have impetu
ously exclaimed, "Be it far from
thee, Lord; this shall not be unto i
thee”? But Peter’s voice was the |
voice of the tempter, Satan, and
Jesus’ rebuke to him was a rebuke
to the devil. Then Jesus laid
down the condition of true dis
cipleship. Following him, he de

life to save it. It means valuing
the spiritual more than the whole
universe of material things. It
means looking forward to eternal
rewards. It means entering
wholeheartedly with Christ into
his kingdom purpose here and
