Vote Next Tuesday |
In General Election For |
Candidate of Your Choice
Next Tuesday vou will be given the |
privilege of selecting a man to the highest |
office in the world today, that of President |
of the United Stafes. 1
This is a great privilege as weil as a |
responsibility on your part to exercise |
a privilege which few people on this earth |
are enjoying today. The only way in |
which you can continue to hold this priv- |
ilege is by getting out and exercising your |
right to vote. |
Hundreds and thousands of people on
this earth today would give their life,
and many have, for the great privilege
that so many Americans today regard so
lightly.
Your vote is very important. so im
portant that vou cannot regard it with |
anything but a feeling akin to reverence. |
We would not take advantage of you !'
or abrogate vour inherent rights by try- |
ing to tell you how to vote, but we do |
urge you to vote for vour choice of the |
men vou desire to govern you for the |
next four vears. |
Search your conscience as well as the |
record of every man offering for election ’
and go to the polls and mark your ballot
for the man or men of your choice. !
Your Christian duty is to vote and |
vote for the man of vour choice. You |
are free men and women today because |
f vour vote — let's keep it that way. |
You have said time and time again |
that your one vote is not important. To |
refute this we reprint below from the |
writing of Robert Ripley, one of the best |
informed men of his day: ‘
BE SURE TO VOTE l
By Robert Ripley |
“One vote elected John Quincy Adams |
President; .
One vote elected Thomas Jefferson |
President; ]
One vote elected Rutherford Hayes |
President; |
One vote enacted Military conseription
in 104 l .
One vole made Texas, California, Wash
ington, Oregon and ldaho states of the
United States;
One vote elected a governor of Mass
achusetts; ¢
One vote beheaded Charles 1 of Eng
land;
One vole elected Oliver Cromwell;
One vole made France a republic in
1875; and ended it in 1940.”
“Ruin comes when the .trader, whose
heart is lifted up by wealth, becomes
ruler; or when the general uses his army
to establish a military dictatorship. The
producer is at his best in the economic
‘tield, the warrior is at his best in battle;
they are beoth at their worst in public
office; and in their crude hands politics
submerges statesmanship. For statesman
ship is a science and an art; one must
have lived for it and been long prepared.”
— Plato. (Contributed by Lawrence K.
Pettit, 1507 Eighth St., South, Charleston,
Va.)
Investigation will show that saturation
of the world’s atmosphere with fail-out

Girl Scouts Need $4,500
~ For Girl Scout Hut
To Better Serve You
| The Girl Scouts of Newton*County are
| badly” in need of a place to meet. They
(’ have been' meeting at the Legion Hut
| but this has proven not satisfactory as
| they have no place to call their home.
{ They envision a home of their own and
| this can be made possible by the good
{ citizens of Newton County contributing to
| a fund which is being raised to build this
, home for them.
; The citizens of our county have al
| ways responded generously to every worth
| while project and we are quite sure they
‘ will respond liberally to this project. Qur
| youth is our greatest asset and there are
| over 300 Girl Scouts in our county. When
i we provide for them we are providing for
. our future, because they are our future
i homemakers and citizens of our county.
g The Girl Scouts will make a house to
| house canvass Thursday night and we
, urge you to meet them with a hand
- shake, a smile and either a check or a bill
’ of large denomination. They will appre
ciate vour gift to the fullest and you
can have that “grand feeling” by contrib
uting liberally.
; Let’'s provide our future homemakers
| with a home in their vouth. The work
' of the Girl Scouts is beyond price and
| this campaign offers you an opportunity
{ to join in this work to a smeall extent.
| Make your contribution generous.
- Industrial Plants Are .

~ Moving to Rural Areas
I i
- And Smali Communities
E Trends moving industrial plants to
i rural areas and small communities lead
| to new industrial farming operations
| whereby strange seeds are converted into
l harvests of essential products, good jobs
{ and plural dollars. Some of the largest
American corporations now are operating
I plants in the smallest communities and
most of the states. Others have fewer
| plants but relatively expansive geograph
i ical distribution of operations.
f Mostly, these plants take over idle
[ land. The timber long since is gone. Soil +
| productiveness is waning. Local business
' may be dull. People of the countryside
| often have neither regular nor reliable
sources of income. In these areas industrial
operations can change a bleak future inte
| a prosperous economy.
E For example, Vanadium Corporation
\ of America is building a new plant in
i rural Jefferson County, Ohio. A few years
| ago the corporation opened plants in
| equally rural Cambridge, Ohio, and Gra
i ham, West Virginia.
; The corporation sows as seeds the min
| erals it imports from a dozen countries,
l nourishes them with fuels and ores pur
l chased in a score of states or produced
from its own mines on the Colorado
t Plateau, in Africa or in Peru. Electric
| furnaces convert them into crops of ferro
| alloys — vanadium, chromium, silicon,
| manganese and others. These helpfu! add
itives are essential in the production of
iron, steel and numerous non-ferrous met
als and alloys.
[ These operations call for obtaining
. funds from earnings and investors to pur
\ chase the land and build the plants. Pro
| duction equipment is installed. Raw ma
| terials are brought in. Local people are
| trained for paying jobs. Payrolls begin
feeding the local economy. Products are
shipped to all the world. An area insuf
| ficient even unto itself suddenly becomes
! productive,
’ Benefits scarcely end there. A pros
| pering region finds itself financially capa
} ble of providing better schools, new roads,
! convenient utilities, more effective govern
. ment and other facets of modern living.
| Bevond that, the locality becomes the
i good customer, as well as the supplier
+ of other regions, domestic and foreign.
i These happy developments are made
possible in part by the complementary
| Industrial and agricultural progress. In
| dustry is expanding to meet the ogreater
i needs of growing populations. Agriculture,
| through mechanization, is producing more
! food from fewer acres.
; There’s another essential factor, too
| frequently overlooked. That's the miracle
{ of management. It produces jobs and
| products, business and dollars, where lit
| tle or none grew betore.
: If the truth is unpleasant, most people
| would rather not hear it.

Isaiah prophesied that when the Messiah
came He would be “despised and re
jected of men; a man of sorrow, and
acquainted with grief."
Stiniay Sciitor
| THE SUFFERING SERVANT
| Background Scripture:
‘ Isalah 32:13-533:12; Maitthew
| 1:18-21.
! Devotional Reading:
‘ I Peter 3:14-22.
| Memory Selection: . . . He was
wounded for our transgres
sions,
he was bruised for our inigui
ties;
upon him was the chastise
ment that made us whole,
and with his stripes we are
I healed. Isaiah 53:53. . |
I We read in the eighth chapter
|of Acts how Philip the Evangelist,
junder the direction of the Holy
ISpirit. came upon the Ethiopian
‘eunuch on the road “that goeth
down from Jerusalem unto Gaza.”
;This servant of the queen of the
| Ethiopians was a believer in Jeho
{vah God. and, as he rode along in
| his chariot, he was reading the
passage of Scripture which we
study today. He was having dif
{ficulty in understanding it, and
Ethe nub of the story as recorded
in the Book of Acts is that Philip
|interpreted this fifty-third chap
|ter of Isaiah in terms of Christ
{and explained it to the devout
iAfrican.
| This passage from Isaiah.has
lalways mystified Bible students.
&They still ask, as did the Ethiopi
{an eunuch, “Os whom speaketh
| the prophet this? of himself, or of
isome other man?”
We believe today ana teach, as
did Philip the Evangelist, that
| Jesus Christ is the key to the
understanding of this passage of
Scripture.
The suffering servant and his
{work are the theme of Chapters
;49-53 of the Book of Isaiah.
[ This servant is to be chosen of
[God from his mother’s womb. He
|is to be the redeemer of Israel and
|is to carry this redemption to the
'lGentiles. “that thou mayest be
my salvation unto the end of the
learth.” He is clothed with majesty
and power. He has the tongue of
Ithe learned. Jerusalem has drunk
{of the cup of God’s fury, but now
{lsrae] is to awake and put on
1511‘ength, to break forth into joy
!and sing together, for “the Lord
)hath made bare his holy arm in
the eves of all nations; and alil
!the ends of the earth shall see
{the salvation of our God.”
! This is the promise of the com
ling of God's great servant. The
| passage which we study today
describes this servant in away
twhich fills us with assurance that
IJesus Christ was the true servant
of Jehovah.
If in the utterances recorded in
this fiftv-third chapter of Isaiah,
lthe prophet was not heralding the
icoming of Jesus Christ, then the
tpassage is undoubtedly the most
remarkable coineidence in the
lwhole of world literature.
’ We cannot at this late date
Qlook back and know with certain
i‘y what was in the prophet’s
!mind. He may with supernatural
¥vision have beheld the Messiah
| who was later to come. It is more
| probable, however, that he was
}caught up in the divine power of
|inspiration, and that he uttered
| wards the significance of which
’!he only partly understood.
{ He may have been referring his
lwhole utterance to objects with
|which we could not possibly be
ifamiliar, but undoubtedly Bible
{ students through the centuries
‘ha\xe been right in saying that
ilhis Chapter 53 of Isaiah is a
;marvelous setting forth of the
{ Messiah and his work — waerds
luttered almost eight hundred
[ vears hefore Christ appeaved upon
'the earth.
| To only a little holy group was
{Christ’s actual coming 1o earth
| made known. The Messiah might
|well have come with power and
| glory; instead he came as a babe,
{“as a tender plant, and as a root
;ou'\ of a dry ground.” The dry
{ground was the insignificance into
| which the national life of the
iJews had fallen and the humble
|ness of the carpenter’s home into
{which Jesus was born. There was |
{nothing about this baby to distin
{guish him from other babies, or
rabout the man who grew up and
became a carpenter in Joseph's
|shop to distinguish him from,

Isaiah also foretold that Christ would
be bealen and wounded, but by His
sufferings we, the sinful ones, would
be healed,
jother people — “no form nor,
comeliness (majesty); ... no beau- |
ty that we should desire him.” |
And when he preached, he wasi
lindeed despised and rejected of
{men. He was so much a man of‘
sorrows that he wept on a number |
of occasions. He knew the grief
|of family rejection and of repec
[tion by the people of his race.
|He was dspised, and his genera
'tion esteemed him not. Only a
lfew men, humble like himself, l
'gathered about him and promised |
to follow him to the end. |
| The world did not know what |
(it had in the Carpenter suddenly |
| become Preacher. Here was a Man i
who was able to bear other peo- |
ple's griefs and carry their sor- |
rows. Because the Jews had a'
theory that suffering was evi-|
dence of God's displeasure, when |
'they Jesus stricken they esteemed ,
'him smitten of God and afflicted. |
| But the divine pattern was be- |
ling revealed — the pattgrn of |
|vicarious sacrifice. God sent his |
|prophets, and the rebellious and |
| disobedient and violent among |
I men stoned them and killed them. |
‘JAt last He decided to send his
{only begotten Son. This God-Mans
by his sacrifice on the cross would |
| let‘fe(:t the forgiveness of sins. Man |
must be punished for his sin. God |
| Himself would take the punish- |
|ment through his Son. He Him- |
- |self would meet the divine re-|
| [quirements of righteousness and |
| justice. |
{ Yet when men looked upon |
. Jesus, they did not realize that
. |he was being wounded for their
;itransgressions and bruised for
[‘;their iniquities; for the chastise-:
| ment of their peace was upon |
. 'him and with his stripes they were |
. healed. All like sheep had gone
gastray, turning each one to his}
, lown way: “and the Lord hath |
| laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
\| Ponder all this. Eight hundred
: ,years before it actually happened. |
|a great prophet to whom God‘)
| spoke, saw the whole divine pat
{tern of forgiveness through vicari- }
»lous sacrifice and proclaimed it to |
I {the world. g
| The Hebrews knew all about
[bloody sacrifices, about a day of
|atonement, about the putting of |
l ?the sin of the nation upon a scape- |
|goat and turing it loose in the?
l *wilderncss. Now the blood of bulls
land goats was no longer to be
“¢hed, for the Lamb of God would |
offer himself as a divine sacrifice
| for the sins of all people. |
| Jesus declared (Matt. 5:18) that
|one jot or one tittle should in no
| wise pass from the law wyntil all
t.should be fulfilled. He was the
{ fulfillment. He it was who would
\ |cap every sacrifice offered in the

F Note the deseription Isaiah ]
|gives of Jesus on the last tragic |
inight of his life. He was oppress- |
[ed and afflicted, yet he opened |
{not his mouth. He stood before |
|the depraved Herod and uttered |
‘not a word. The soldiers abused |

thurled insult upon him and cried |
{for him to help himself as he help- |
led other: but “as a sheep before |
her shearers is dumb, so he open- |
et not his mouth.” They dragged |
{him from the judgment hall and |
‘|made ready to crucify him. Who |
'Ewas there anywhere that woulq
istand up for this Man? Not a sin-
Egle person. Truly “he was cut off
jout of the land of the living.”
| Execcuted criminals were usti- |
{ally buried with their crosses a |
tshort distance from their place of
lexecution. This was undoubtedly |
{to have been the lot of Jesus.
!The plan was that he should make
{his grave with the wicked. But a |
érich man, Joseph of Arimathaea.
lasked for his body and buried it
'in his own new sepulcher, i
' Itis interesting that the Hebrew
‘word translated “the wicked” is |
plural, but the word translated |
| “the rich” is singular. This is pre- |
’cisely the way it turned out eight |
hundred years later. Under or
|dinary circumstances Jesus would
ihave been buried with the two
Ithieves with whom he was cruei
(fied; instead he was buried by a
'solitary rich man, who secretly
| believed in him and was outraged
{over the cruel injustice of his trial

IS LIFE MEANINGLESS?
;
Life is not meaningless to thousands of people who
in recent years have joined the Episcopal Church.
The experts tell us that membership in alf churches
has never heen so high. What is the reason? Life
. becomes meaningful when lived in obedience to
Christ’s invitation to follow Him,
The Episcopal Church teaches its members that we
i have, as the Prayer Book puts it, s "bounden duty” ==
; “to follow Christ, to worship God every Sunday in
‘ His church, and to work and pray and give for the
% spread of His kingdom.”
| Whether you are an Episcopalian or nat, if you
profess to be a Christian, you have that "bounden
' duty.” Then life becomes meaningful and purposeful.
If you're not attending church regularly, if you
haven't found in any church the answer to your
| spiritual needs, we invite you to worship with ug —
today — in the Episcopal Church near you,
