Two men met last week far out on the broad Atlantic
ocean and while both are men of importance, in fact the
leaders of their nations, the significance of the meeting
lay not in the tw'o men, but in what they represented.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, both
men of strength and character, met to discuss the safe
guarding of two English-speaking nations and, the last
strong holds of democracy. Only a few years ago such a
meeting would have been impractical at a time when
democracy was struggling for its very existence.
Such a meeting, between the President of the United
States and the British Prime Minister, would have been
an affair of State, with bands playing and flags flying.
Utmost precautions would have been necessary and for
days preceding such a meeting, the daily press would
have hailed it for the epoch making event that it was.
Things are different in 1941. Gone are the
ceremonies. Today two great leaders have met, brought
to their rendezvous on fighting ships, to lav plans for
further fightin* to destroy a threat lo civilization
These two men had business to discuss and far away from
the turmoil they met in a business-like way and while
what they actually said is of little importance the plans
which they laid are of prime importance.
Their attitude reflects the attitudes of their people
—Americans and Englishmen. Today war has lost its
glory. Power-mad dictators who wage total war on women
and children hate changed the time worn theme of dying
for one's country to a bold determination to live for one’s
country.
As As our our great pi-pat President resirtent said said man* manv months months atro ago when wnen
war drums began to roll these are perilous times, and
such they will remain until the day when dictators no
longer rule supreme. That day will come. Thai meeting
out in the waters of the Atlantic assured the final and
complete destruction of totalitarian!.
The meeting of the leaders of two Nations is not with
out precedent in this present struggle. Hitler, the war
mad dog and 11 Duce, his counterpart and chief stooge,
have met on numerous occasions high up in the Brenner
Pass, but what a difference in the meetings.
Out in the Atlantic two great chieftans met last week
with ... , but . one atm. the ,, preservation ,. of . democracy, , the ,,
better way of living. High up in the mountains two other
men have met with a vastly different goal, the destrue
tion of freedom throughout the face of the earth.
These two leaders of two great Nationss, meeting |
with “only the blue of the seas around them,” have set
moral alliance , better future . tor c the ,
up a assuring a
world.” Realizing fully that changes will come in due ;
time and that dictators will he destroyed, they are looking
to the future.
They have , set . eight • i , point • i that . * , pledges , i
up an program
the complete destruction of Nazilsm and other isms that
tend to destroy our way of living. It provides for the dis
arming of aggressor Nations and the restoration of a sane
method of government suited to the temperament of vari
OUS peoples
The leaders , , have , done , their ... part. , They .,.,1 , have blazed ii j
s trail and it is.for us now to follow it, pledging ourselves
to do our part in a mass move to wipe out dictators and
all that they stand for.

No need telling our citizens that time flies. Everyone
who sees the rapid approach of Christmas knows it. This
their fiftieth milestone it is a well established fact, and
not altogether a pleasant one, either. They cannot under
stand why nature didn't turn things around and make
the youthful years shorter and the years of manhood
longer, so life’s span would appear to be broader, even
though it would not be.
But marches and , here ( hristmas . .
time on, comes again.
From now on there will be increasing activity on all sides
and a noticeable pickup in buying and preparing for it.
There should be no need of caution as to buying and
spending wisely. The financial pinch during the past few
vears has taught this* lesson. But is always advisable to
suggest lhat every dollar spent on ( hnstmas be spent in
an economical way. Make it go just as far as possible, and
make it serve others in the community, too, by spending
it here at home. You are only helping to make some
stranger's Christmas happier when you setid your dollar
to some distant point but you are brightening the holiday
for your neighbors when it is spent here in your own com
munity.
Bankers say each dollar settles ten dollars worth of
obligations, for at least ten people handle every dollar
before it goes into hoarding or is put into a savings ac
count or a permanent investment. Figure that out and you
Will quickly understand hov much happiness your Chnst
mas dollar will bring when it is spent right here at home.
Do vour Christmas shopping early and above all—shop
at home.
We are doing prettv well as dollar chasers for while

The 114th camp meeting was brought to a close last
Sunday at Old Salem ('amp Ground and these in attend
ance went on their way feeling better for having paused
awhile to hear God’s message, brought by the outstand
ing men who occupied the pulpit.
The camp meeting this year was without question,
among the best ever held on the historic grounds. Surely
the men and women who in previous years did much to
establish the Camp Ground on a firm foundation, must
have viewed the meeting this year, from the great be
; yond, with a feeling of satisfaction.
Many improvements were noted on the grounds by
regular attendants. The spring has been enclosed, assur
ing the future safety of the w-ater supply for coming gen
erations; structures were repaired and painted, and many
; others to numerous to mention. While Salem Camp Ground
! stands constant, year after year, a refuge for those seek
ing Christian inspiration and the fellowship of brother
men, it is not static!
Every year brings improvements and changes that
add to the comfort and well being Of the throngs that come
back, year after year. Next year will bring more changes.
The Roard of Trustees, headed by Major Robert Guinn,
met last w'eek and planned improvements. A long range
program for young people is developing. Garbage dis

While next year is a long way off, let’s start plan

THE BETTER COVNANT
Golden text: And being
perfect, he became the author of
eternal salvation unto all them
that obey him. Hebrews 5:9.
“ If lhat first covenant had been
faul,less . then should no
!l* ve , bPen u sou8h * Id". * or a second ’
la ther s when God led them out of
Egypt. They had forsaken the true
God and worshiped false gods,
They had despised the law and
had °f ere . d £*. lame ,. and „. the
exalted the Jetter of the law but
denied its true message and its
spirit. They practiced the forms
of righteousness but denied the
power thereof. God had promised
a new covenant ' After those days ’
sa , d lhe Lord> n Wlll pul , ny laWs
into their mind, and write them in
their hearts; and 1 Will be to them
a God and they shall be to me a
people (See Jer. 31:32-34).
Christ is our great high priest
who ever liveth Vo maht interces-,
sion for us. Once each year on the
Day of Atonement the high priest
entered the holy of holies to make
intercession for his people. He ,
alone could enter the holy of
holies. When Christ died the veil
separating the holy of holies from
the holy place was rent in twain
s0 that we now have constant ac
cess through Christ to out Heav
enly Father. The Jews built their
tabernacle after the pattern furn
ished by God but it was at best
only a type of the "greater and
mdre per f e ct tabernacles" where
Christ is the right hand of the
Father. The priest offered regular
ly sin offerings and peace offer
ings hut Christ offered once for
a)1 hjg own blOQd gs a sacri{ice for
our sing lf God woul d look with
fav0l . upon the sacrifice of a lamb
0 r bullock how much more will he
value the sacrifice of his own Son.
He who rejects Jesus as his per
sonal saviour "hath trodden under
f00t the Son of God, and hath
counled the blood of the covenant
wherewith he was sanctified, an
unholy thing, and hath done de
spit* unto the Spirit of grace
(Heb. 10:29). This blood of Jesus
cleanses the conscience from dead
works to serve the living God. It
becomes the token of our ledemp
tion, the purchase price with
which we are bought. Thus we
are no longer under obligation to
dead works as the hope of salva
are under obligation
' of
bh>f>d be< . ome a guarantee
the Christian’* eternal inheritance,
when the sinner accepts Christ's
sacrifice by faith a* the P riee 1>f
his redemption he immediately be
«"«** an he 'l of
taker of the heavenly , mheutam. •
^ testament is a legal means of
bestowing upon another certain
rights or good upon the death ot
the testator, but it becomes ef
fectlve only alter the testatei >**•
Christ bestowed eiema. ’ r
t
Hjm Lord but that transaction
wag wnditionM i upon his atoning
rieath • without shedding of blood
j s no remission.”
Even the old covenant was sane
tified with bl<x>d. Moses
going up upon the mount to '*
ceive the tables of stone upon
which the law was written, called
the people together and killed
calves and Roats and took of then
blood and sprinkled it upon the
I book of the law. and upon the
^ o{ , h( . minlstry . , S ee Ex.
24 3-8.) Here we see in the blood
the type of tbe Lord Jesus. It was
used tor cleansing and purifying,
There is no wonder that John
could say. “The blood of Jesus
; Christ His Son cleanses us from
all sin” (1 John 1:7).
! The necessity for suffering and
sacrifice in God <• plan of redemp
lion has been questioned by nw
THE cdVINGTON NEWS
| in recent years. Some have declar
that salvation must come
through the example of Jesus
j rather than by his blood atone
! ment. They would make the sac
j rificial death only an incident in
exemplary life, The Bible
makes the blood of Chrst mean
1. The blood revealed God's
hove for man. He so loved that
he gave his only begotten Son.
2 The blood is a token of that
sacrifice which is acceptable to
God for our sins - Chr,st bore :
3. The blood is the heart of the
redemptive plan to which ail the
worship of the Old Testament
points.
4 The blood is a challenge to
h '8 her and nobler living. If Christ j
thllg loved Us we shou , d give ^
selveg unselfishly in his service.
s , The blood is a guarantee that ;
the price of redemption is paid
for all and that whosoever wJJ i
may be saV ed. The Lord made the |
blood the token of salvation when
the first-born of all in Egypt were
slain. God sent forth the death
angel to slay the eldest in every
home, but the Israelites were in
structed to put the blood of their
sacrifices on the lintels of their
doorposts, and the Lord promised
<. when x g#e the bloo d( I will pass
over you, and the plague shall not
b e upon you to destroy you, when
] smjte tbe land of Egypt" (Ex.
12:13).
The blood of Jesus Christ is our
bope 0 f salvation and he who has
faith in Christ win be saved by
the new covenant which God made
wben He sent His Son into the
wor |d.
Thus since the new covenant is
much better than the old, the
christain who is the beneficiary of
thig new cove nant should be much
better than the old Jew who lived
„ n der the law. Ale you proving
yoilr appreciation of the new cov
enard bv the wav you live?
The Jew gave the tithe of his
income. Do you as much or more? j
The Jew wa s careful in keeping
one day in seven holy unto the |
Lord. Are you as faithful with
your time? The Jew was careful
in teaching his children the law
and the prophets. Are American
parents as careful about religious
instruction for their children?
