There is a lot said, and sometimes doubted,
about the freedom of the American press. But
the freest press in our land today is the small
independent weekly newspaper. It is free be
cause it is one of the last survivors of an age of
individualists. It is too small to be noticed a
great deal by the mighty powers that mold public
opinion. It exists only by the grace of the Almighty
and the good will of its advertisers. Its owners
and publishers are usually too stubborn to be
bought, and it doesn’t give the mighty newspaper
empires enough competition to earn their enmity.
Editorially it preaches “Trade at Home,”
“Support your local Chamber of Commerce” and
“Go to church on Sunday." But it can and does
jump on crooked politicians and corrupt govern
ment and it can wax eloquent over the questions
of patriotism and motherhood. Now and then
it castigates the Mayor, or Governor of the
State, and the President and the Supreme Court
Human blood is now saving lives in more v
than ever before, according to papers being pi._-
sented at the annual meeting of the American
Association of Blood Banks, Sept. 14-17 at Bal
Harbour, Florida. And the need for blood is
■ greater than ever before at hospitals which treat
the victims of steadily increasing traffic accidents
and where open heart and other complicated sur
gery is performed.
Great advances have been made in detecting
and dealing with the blood hazards of childbirth.
Giving babies a transfusion before they are born,
unknown before 1963, has become a fairly common
procedure. Such transfusions havebeenperformed
in Oklahoma City, Teaneck, New Jersey and Roch

Detroit, Los Angeles and other big cities.
Congressional inquiry into the matter of federal
legislation on highway beautification has brought
forth testimony from one private citizen which
seems to us to shed some light on both the basic
nature and the ultimate solution to the problems
of achieving and maintaining an attractive country
side. Mr. Edwin R. McDonald, Sr., of Newellton,
Louisiana, appeared before the House Public Works
Subcommittee on Roads, recently, and described a
privately initiated and supported program which
he and some friends started in northeast Louisiana
several years ago, which is already paying off
in more ways than mere roadside beauty.
While Mr. McDonald expressed a "strong belief
in the fundamental concepts” of the beautification
bills now under consideration, the successes he
listed as already achieved in the Newellton Beaut
ification Project clearly demonstrate that local and
private initiative are still the ultimate answer.
He cited almost immediate economic benefits to the
Newellton community as visitors and touristswere
attracted by the first eight-mile stretch to receive
its beauty treatment. He noted that the Newellton
Project quickly became something far more than a
roadside beauty program, as people throughout the
community began to think in terms of clean-up
and paint-up. and interest was generated in
restoring and preserving historic buildings and

But it is free. Perhaps it is that kind of free

freedom left in the world. Too insignificant for
the pressure groups to bother with, it wields a
cumulative power that is one of the tremendous
forces in our nation today.
But like many of our blessings, it is taken
for granted. People tolerate it like they do an

After seeing the benefits from the first project,
Mr. McDonald himself created Louisiana’s Dutch
Gardens. This five-acre garden of flowers and
ornamentals, open to the public at no charge,
provides for resident and tourist alike an ever
changing panorama of blossoms from early spring
to late fall. The resultant increase of tourist
trade (more than 100,000 visitors since it was
opened last March) has been a great economic
boon to the community and has encouraged Mr.
McDonald and his associates to expand the Dutch
Gardens to more than 14 acres next year.
"There is much that the state and federal
governments can do,” Mr. McDonald told the
Congressional subcommittee, “to encourage this
kind of urgently needed community development.
Extra funds will be needed in many cases. . .
restrictions against highway clutter are justified
and necessary. But the most important thing this

The same day’s mail brought the story of an
Illinois businessman who opened a dry-cleaning
establishment back in 1939. Like many another
enterprising beginner, he framed the first dollar
bill his business took in, posted it in a prominent
place in the waiting-room, and dated it with the
year, 1939. During the war years, while he
slogged through Europe, his wife and sister-in
law kept the door open and the clientele coming.
Beginning in post-war 1949, he enlarged the frame
for the first dollar bill to permit space for
printing beneath it the current value of that dollar
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics con
sumer price index. By 1949, that dollar was
worth 75.2 cents. The sign now reads 44.7 cents.

Jethro was the central figure
of the lesson last Sunday. He was
also called Reuel and was father
in-law to Moses. Reuel was pro
bably his personal name and
Jethro an honorary title. The
picture given us of Jethro, his
daughters, and Moses sets forth
family relationships in a pleas
ing light. After watching Moses
dispensing justice to scores of
applicants every day, Jethro con
cluded that his young son-in-law
was wearing himself out and
urged Moses to appoint authori
tative men under him who would
assume the routine matters and
adjudication.
The scene set forth in last
week’s lesson gave us the pic
ture of happy family relation
ships under God. Today’s lesson
deals with the consecration of
artistic gifts.
Bezaleel was really the archi
tect of the tabernacle. Together
with Aholiab, a worker in cur
tains, cloth, and draperies, he
adorned the first place of wor
ship which the Hebrew people
built.
It might be well at this point
to recall the origin and nature
of the tabernacle and the three
temples that succeeded it.
The tabernacle, built under
the direction and suporivision
of Moses, was a tent, a movable
sanctuary made partly of the
acacia wood found in the wilder
ness and of hair and skins of
the flocks. Gold, silver, brass,
and linen, which the people furn
furnished along with ornaments
of precious metals, were used
for adornment. When Solomon
came to the throne (971 8.C.) he
built a huge temple which was the
archltectual wonder of his age.
This temple was destroyed by
the Babylonians in 586 8.C., and
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK
Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the
people. That endless hook, the newspaper is
our national glory. —Henry Ward Beecher
Long before the spark for freedom was ignited
at Concord and Lexington, the unique role of the
press in maintaining and protecting the freedoms
Americans now enjoy, was effectively demonstrated.
The first licensed newspaper appeared in 1704,
hut was heavily censored. A turning point in the
fight for a free press in America came thirty years
later with the famous trial of John Peter Zenger,
publisher of the New York Weekly Journal, who
was jailed for calling the colonial governor dis
honest and oppressive. He was freed by a jury when
he proved his accusations to be true, therefore not
libelous.
Bit by bit, the right of the press to report and
comment on public affairs was established and this
principle was embodied in the First Amendment
of the new Federal Constitution.
Today newspapers remain constantly on the alert
to protect the public's right to know—in police sta
tions, in court rooms, legislative bodies, city halls
and executive mansions.
Newspapers inform the community on the local
civic, social, fraternal, spiritual activities and strive
for community betterment.
During National Newspaper Week, celebrated
October 10-16, we re-dedicate our efforts toward
greater community progress and understanding

upon their return from Exile the
Jews built Zerubbabel’s temple.
About twenty years before the
birth of Christ, Herod razed the
old structure and erected a third
temple. It was through the cor
ridors of this temple that Jesus
and his disciples were later to
walk.
The tabernacle stood in a rec
tangular courtyard 150 feet long
and 75 feet wide. There stood
the altar of burnt offerings, the
table of shew bread, and the ark
of the covenant. The three tem
ples that superseded the taber
nacle were in large measure
fashioned after the original ar
chitectural design of the taber
nacle.
Although the exact measure
ments and design of the taber
nacle were divinely dictated to
Moses, Bezaleel was no doubt
engaged in some way in its con
struction.
The careers of Bezaleel and
Aholiab set forth for modern
believers the inspiring picture
of the consecration of human
skill to the glord of God.
“And Moses said unto the
children of Israel, See, the Lord
hath called by name Bezaleel, the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the
tribe of Judah."
To what had the Lord called
Bezaleel? To architecture, ar
tistry, and interior decorating.
He was a man who, like thousands
of other great artists in later
centuries, was called to beautify
the house of God and make it
appealing to those who worshiped
there.
We need first of all to note
the fact that God calls everybody
to some definite work. The idea
of “calling” is usually reserved
for ministers. We speak of a
man’s being “called" to the min
istry. But certainly from begin

we are all called to serve God
according to our ability. Re

Where would the church be with
out teachers? With only a slight
knowledge of ecclesiastical gov
ernment we can realize that every
church involves tremendous
business enterprises. Millions of
dollars must be collected and ad
ministered. Some of the Lord’s
most valuable servants have
never been in a pulpit and never
will be.
Greatest of all who receive the
call to Christian service are pro
bably the millions of mothers
throughout the world who teach
their children even more basic
ally and effectively than do fine
professional educators in their
later formal schooling.
We are all called to serve
God. We are his creatures. He
has given us this planet on which
to live our lives and make them
effective in the carrying out of
his purpose. Moses declared that
the Lord had called Bezaleel,
the man of great artistic gifts.
He calls you and me. However
humble the service to which He
appoints us, our contribution is
just as necessary as that of the
genius, the skillful administra
tor, or the highly endowed artist.
Moses goes on to relate that
Bezaleel’s skill arose from the
fact that God had filled him with
his spirit, “in wisdom, in under
standing, and in knowledge, and in
all manner of workmanship."
Bezaleel’s fertile mind devised
curious works “in gold, and in
silver, and in brass, and in the
cutting of stones, to set them, and
in carving of wood, to make any
manner of cunning work.”
Only one other man was called
to be associated with Bezaleel.
This was Aholiab, of the tribe of
Dan. It is well to note here that
these two men came from dif
ferent tribes, Bezaleel from the
tribe of Judah and Aholiab from
the tribe of Dan. Thus are we
taught that God’s gifts disregard
geographical boundaries. Scien
tists, great leaders of men, and
artistic geniuses are to be found
in all nations.
Whether one agrees or dis
agrees with the policies of the

God gives some kind of gift to
every human being. Your gift
may be so small and seem so
insignificant that you shake your
head and say of yourself that you
are a person of no ability. Yet
the great scheme of God will
never be put together in a satis
factory manner until your life,
like the piece of a picture puz
zle, fits into the design for it.
There is a purpose in every
thing God does. He has put every
one of us here in the world for a
definite purpose. Life consists
in finding what that purpose is
and fulfilling it. Only when we do
this do we experience that quiet
satisfaction, that contentment,
that eagerness to live which God
wants us all to possess.
God’s gifts are given to us all.

Not a chance. In no way
can my words, or the words
of anyone else give you life.
The words you live by are your
words.
I wonder if you realize what
that means? For instance, a
young man said to me, “Ihaven’t
done anything that really bothers
my conscience. And, when I
have, I’ve done something to
make up for it. But when I
think over the past year, what
have I done that will last? If
I died tomorrow, who would really
care for very long?” Now that
is a good summary of a life of
sin. And the only way out of
sin is for HIM to ask forgive
ness and Him to ask Jesus to lead
HIM out. But as he left, I won

said my words helped him. Helped
him? Bosh! The only words
that will help him are his to speak
and his only.

can have a Godly Father; you can
have a “good Preacher"; and

This whole mess began with
slavery, which had no justifi

back.
God did not institute slavery,
but He can, and does, make
even the wrath of man to praise
Him! And He used this business
of slavery to bring about the
most stupendous, far reaching
piece of missionary work on
record! Those pagan Negroes
were set down here in what
has been called the “Bible Belt”
because the big plantation owners
were mostly Christians who
loved, and read their Bibles. In
this Book, which was more or
less their rule of life, they found
no rule forbidding slavery, but
very definite rules as to the
treatment of slaves by their
owners, and the duties of the
slaves to their masters.
In the majority of homes the
slaves were called to family
prayer along with the family,
and taken to church where a
gallery was provided for them to
occupy and hear the same gospel
that was preached to their
masters, and they were enrolled
as members of the same church.
That these slaves understood
and accepted the Gospel is

the last heathen in “r.ot-so-dark
today” Africa. For quite a num
ber of those “heathens in Africa”
have uttered words to live by,
and are living the life you are
still looking for.
Words to live by? I’ll tell
you what Jesus said about words
of life. He said, “I tell you,
on the day of judgment men will
render account for every care
less word they utter; for by your
words you will be justified, and
by your words you will be con
demned.” And, I think He meant
it.
You can speak words to live by.
I want you to see that He said
by your words you WILL be just
ified. By your words, you will
live. Think of that! All you
need for life, you have.
Feel empty? By your word,
you will be filled.
Bored with life? By your word,
you can really live.
Feel uneasy about things in
general? By your word, all
things can be set right.
As you confess; as you request;
so you will find life with Jesus
Christ. These words have been
said a countless number of ways,
but in every case they are words
to live by. Your words. The
time for you to speak is now.

evidenced by their lives, and
their music and songs, which we
class as “spirituals”.
The war between the states
was fought over the principle
that each state had the right
to direct its own affairs, and
provide its own statutes along
all lines, slavery being only one
of the things involved. The
freedom of the slaves was the
most outstanding result of the
fratricidal struggle.
The only real blessing to be
found in this matter of slavery
is the exposure to the Gospel
of these vast hordes of wild,
nomadic people.
Had their forbears been left
in the wilds of Africa, Rev.
Martin Luther King and his breth
ren would today be roaming the
wilds of Africa instead of enjoying
the freedom they share in
America.
“God moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform,”
but He performs them, though
He is never in a hurry. With
Him a day may be as a thou

as a day.
The trouble with us mortals
is our impatience! And by it
we mar the beauty and perfection
of God’s work. We can’t wait
for the rosebud to unfold as
God intended it to do, but with
bungling fingers, try to hasten
the process and succeed only
in destroying the beauty.
