THROUGH EAGLE--PILES
“UNLESS WE WORK"
Bernard M. BaruchTbne of the gFeat Elder States-
men of America, recently gave his countrymen some
wise advice.
The world, he said, .‘‘can get going only if mert
work," and "if we accept the challenge to preserve
civilization, it means greater effort than that exerted
during the war " He pointed to the pressing need for
maximum production, with no strikes and no lay-offs,
in the future. And then he said: "Unless we work,
we shall see vast inflation That would be the greatest
blow we could receive, for it would strip us of our
strength to preserve our way of life.”
We have sought for an easy way to do things—
and we have found that no such way exists. We have
wanted luxury, hut-we have not wanted to labor to
cam it Our whole philosophy of late has been the
sDicidat one of asking more and giving less. Capital,
labor, agriculture, the consumer—this indictment fits
large segements of them all.
No country has ever undergone a great inflation’turned from a two week's
and kept its institutions free. No country has ever, to Houston and Mexico.

JUST A PUSH
By Sam Say
At this wnrting my pen wants to ramble, but that
disposition is-in keeping with ouf day artd times.
In a former article I didn’t quite finish on the
“reading habit." I didn’t say that the time spent read-
ing the Book and other good books wa^ more than
tKe time given to all those seven or eight periodicals.
A good book, if read candidly, is worth more than it's
weight jn gold. Just to open a book and let some
great man or woman talk to you is a thrilling exper-
^nce
At this poinlT-am anxious to say words about the
editorial Reverse Gear" fn~the Goldthwaite Eagle a
short time ago—hope you read it. That is what I call
helpfulness. Surely our kind Hditor is not too nrmcll Car?way
to-lcr me say what I should sav. 1 said to~my*wTfe that
it had morexeai-meftf^barn^any editorial from a sec-
--uhir paper that I had read for years
The value of such articles consists in .the appalling
need of our national and local condition.
A majority of our race just won’t learn the leSsoii
that righteousness is more powerful than wealth.
A'Minority, and I think a small minority, know that
superior force and security issues in righteousness
but the minority is not turning us into dominant
safety. - ...
Any of us like to admit that spiritual fflt&s estab-
lished ohr once proud civilization and those forces
have souglit to maintain a spiritual energy and beauti-
fy a path sufficient to induce at faithful patronage
and a growing increase in permanent" joyful realities.
I suppose if the-great satatesman W. T. Gladstone
was back in the world agaio.he would likely repeat his
blistering criticism. He knew spiritual fruitfulness
hut he saw much empty profession and useless cere
mony in the name of, religion. Too much world cloak-
ed under a name and sard "Man should be careful lest
his religion injure his morals.”
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Gar-
vey of Brooklyn. New York, are
visiting her brother, L. J. Oart-
man She will be remembered
as Miss Lueile Gartman, form-'
erly of Ooldthwaite. Mr. Gar-
vey has discontinued business

in Texas.

The barbecue and picnic Is a
thing of the past. Notwith-
standing the very _ Inclement
weather, people continued to
come, till the crowd was esti-
mated at about 1,500 . . . Those
who attended the barbecue at
Star last Saturday had the plea-
sure of listening to-some splen-
did orations, both from , the
citizens of that place and from
visitors ...

FIRE PREVENTION ANI) THE COMMUNITY
American • communities must bear much of the
blame for our soaring toll.of deaths and property
destruction by fire.
According to A Bruce Bielaskl, executive director
of the Presidents Conference on Fire Prevention,
k- -s lhan 2,000 of the more than 16,000 municipalities
i.) the United State? have building codes. Most of the
t isting laws are more than 15 years old. On top of
t iat a great many fire departments are badly equipped
: d under manned, and are not organized to give
!xeaen adequate training.
Here are some of Ike reasons why the toll of fire
^s reached record proportions, and is still incressing.
ast March, for example, losses reached a new month-
high of almost $72,500,000—36 per cent above the
ame Jionth in 1940. And fire’s death toll is running [
in excess of 10,000 lives annually.
We can reduceflfire losses by at least 75 per cent—
if we have the sdl to do it-

, ‘The good Joslah became king at
eight years of age, and waa aur-
rounded by godly counaelor* who
helped him become an outatending
ruler for God, When he waa alxteen
he had a real rellgiout experience
(II Chron. 34:3), and at twenty he
began to purge Judah and Jerusa-
lem of. idols and wickedness.
L A Book Found and Read (23:10,
11; 23:1, 2).
The Word of God had been neg-
lected for about sixty years. How
tadl Yea and how tad that In our
hornet the Bible la so often neg-
lected—on a book thelf. or In a
trunk, or gathering dust on a living
room table. A lost Bible, and a
people living In aln! How much we
need to push aside the rubbish In
our lives and bring out our “loft"
Bibles. "
Observe that they not only found
the book, gut they read it That was
true of the ones who found It as
well as of those to whom they
passed It on. What a good thought
wa have there: read the Bible, yet,
but be sure to get someone el»f
reading it too.
In Josiab's day It was thus f^rst
received
1. By the King.
The ruler or rulers of the people
need to return to God's Word in our
day. It is all too often neglected in
the council chambers of the nations.
Joslah was moved by what he
read to real repentance. He realized
that tha judgment of God must
cone. Inquiry et Jerusalem brought
word from Huldah the prophetess
that It would come, but not in
Joetah'e day, .
Tha king was not coolant to keep
this word to himself, and Insisted
that lt.be read
3. By the religious leaders.
The priests and the prophets who
were doubly guilty In neglecting It
war* now brought face to face with
God's revelation.
Who win aay that the great need
hi America Is not Just this, that Its
preachers and denominaUonal lead-
ers 1 get back to tha reading and
teaching of God's Word. Book re-
views, lectures In economic* and
politics, discussions of on* worUL-
almost anything but the Bible. Such
is the far* of many of our preach-
ers. No wonder that they arid their
people are spiritually starved.
Joslah knew what was needed
and the Word was nosf read v
3. By the people.
Applying that to our day, it Is
true that the Bible is our best taller,
that it la available to {very home,
and that most decent households
have not on* but many Bibles. But
are they being read? The answer is
obviously no. Let's correct that
dreadful situation. Read your Bible I
IL A Beek Believed sH Prac-
ticed (23:3-5, 11).'
Joslah taw that it waa not enough
to read and rejoice over the Word
of God. Something must be done
about it, and he did it.
1. The king made a covenant with
God.
Standing In a prominent place be-
fore his people, he humbly and
solemnly renewed his consecration
to the Lord, and- promised to
abide by bis Word with all hit heart’
and soul (v. 2). Such a leader could
not but Inspire his people to do the
same.
\ What a blessing It Is to us whta
we hear of tom* man promt-
bent in the affairs of the nation or
state who loves the Lord, and keeps
his commandments. He Is net enly
an Inspiring example, bul a real
witness for God.
2. The priests cast out the idols
<*v. 4, 5).
The king required thie of them,
end they proceeded thus t* deans*
the places of worship and proper*
the way for a true devotion to God.
Her* again w* say that when re-
ligious leaders get beck to their drat
devotion to God and put away tha
empty philosophies of this world, wa
shall see a revival.
