i It THB CLINTON CHRONICLE Cliatoa, S. C n Thursday, April 2, 1964 well-to-do as a nation that we have a guilt complex about it. Conformity is sweeping the country. And while more and more and more people want to get Seats in the grandstand, few er and fewer want to sweat it out down on the field. More and more youngsters who come in ’ooking for jobs are asking, What can you do for me?’ rath er than, ‘What can I do for you?’ They want to discus the extras they're going to get rather than the extras they’re going to give. They want to know' how cool it Read John ;$ going to be in summer. And I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man com- how warm in winter. And how eth unto the Father, but by Me. (John 14:6.) Many of us have written to one of the major oil refining com panies and requested a map to direct us on our vacation trip. In . committee where reply, we have received a map marked with suggested routes to * sa ,‘, v Tn, ^ safe at all times of the year. And tfhen they go to work, they has- en to hide their light in the our destination. We could endure the traffic congestion of large cities, or enjoy the secenery of the countryside, the mountains, or along the seashore. Whichever route we chose, we eventually arrived at our intended destination. However, Jesus plainly said that one has no such choice in the realm of the spirit. If our aim is to enter the kingdom which God has established, there is but one possible course—through Jesus Christ. Obedience to the law, generosity toward the church, partici pation in good causes—none of these can serve as a substitute. Faith in Christ grants us eternal fellowship with the Father. Not all who started to follow Jesus remained faithful. One day He asked His disciples, “Will ye also go away?” Is Peter’s answer ours? He said “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” PRAYER Our Father, forbid that we should be led into paths of unrighteousness. Steer our hearts toward the one way to abundant, eternal life—Christ Himself. Foe* His sake. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - ' We are not lost if we follow Christ’s way. William E. Lampton (Indiana) 1T rr rrrrrrm By SPECTATOR ... COMMENTS I ON MEN AND THINGS The practice in our State is too loose to be allowed to continue. The House meets early and adopts a bill somewhat in keep ing with the recommendations of the Budget Commission. Then the Senate begins to play with adding new matter. So far as it, increasing this or that and the Budget Commission is con cerned it might as well be abol ished and the gate opened for whatever someone may think of. What we urgently need is a sharp, drastic use of the veto power of the Governor; he may veto any item or items and stem the tide to annual prodigality, a sort of play-boy practice.- Governing a city, a county, a State, or a nation should be a serious matter and proposals for the expenditure of public money, taxpayers’ hard-earned contri bution for the general welfare. The sober-minded citizen, ask ing no favors, is sometimes dis gusted by the insidious efforts to divert the public money to spec ial uses. Anyone at all familiar with the State government could readily point to items of no ur gent necessity, oftentimes of no real service. The grab game sometimes seen is unworthy of self-govern ing people. Why can’t we provide ade quately for necessary public ser vice without pandering to this group, or that group, or some other aggregation? • • • I quote an excellent reminder from The Joanna Way, the very excellent magazine of The Jo anna Cotton Mills Co., of Joan na, South Carolina, a group un der the management of Walter Regnery, son of one of our great est industrialists — and even a greated man — the late William H. Regnery. “Mark Twain (the famous au thor of Tom Sawyer and Huckle berry Finn) arrived in a small town where he was scheduled to make a talk. Noticing that his lecture was poorly billed, he stepped into a store and said: ‘Good evening, friend, ^ay-en tertainment here tonight to help a stranger while away this eve ning?’ The storekeepeh straightened up, wiped his hand, and said: ‘I expect there’s going to be a lecture. I’ve been selling eggs all day.’ There have Been quite a few changes made since that day. Although the price of eggs may prohibit their use as indoor guid ed missiles, we have become so .here is safety in numbers. The progress may be slow and the ?lory may be small, but the <vork is steady. Their eyes are >n the clock rather than on the .'alendar. The coffee break is more important than the Big Break We have always had our share ii free-loaders in this country. \nd, as Channing Polock one said, every generation produces t's squads of moderns who narch with peashooters against Gibraltar. But only in the past quarter century, it seems to me, las non-involvement become an accepted way of life. For when we were poor, we had to sweat it out. We couldn’t afford de tachment from the life and fate of our country. And one of the great dangers of affluence is that it permits such detachment. I’m going to talk quite a bit about a six-letter word today. Why six letters? Because mod ern literature has snapped up all the four- and five-letter words as its own’. The word is ‘Square,. A SQUARE DEAL was one of the finest words in Back in Mark Twain’s day, it our language. You gave a man a square deal if you were hon est. And you gave him a square meal when he was hungry. You stood foursquare for the right, as you saw it, and square against everything else. When you got out of debt, you were square with the world. And that was when you could look your fellow man square in the eye. Then a lot of strange charac ters got hold of this honest, wholesome word, bent it all out of shape, and gave it back to our children. Convicts gave it the first twist. To them a Square was an inmate who would not conform to the convict code. From the prisons it was flashed across the country on the mari juana circuit of the bopster and hipster. Now everyone knows what a Square is. He is the man who never learned to get away with it. A Joe who volunteers when he doesn’t have to. A guy who gets his kicks from trying to do something better than any one else can. A boob who gets so lost in his work that he has to reminded to go home. A guy ho doesn’ have to stop at a on his way to the train at (night because he’s all fired up id full of iuice already. A xlob-j rho still gets all choked up when band plays “America the leautiful.” A Square, ano strict ly from Squareville. His tribe isn’t thriving too well in the current; climate. He doesn’t fit too neatly into the current group of angle players, corner cutters, sharpshooters and goof-offers. He doesn’t be lieve in opening all the packages before Christmas. He doesn’t want to fly now and pay later, He’s burdened down with old- fashioned ideas of honesty, loy alty, courage, and thrift. And he may already be on his way to extinction. PATRIOTISM ON DECLINE He and all the rest of us are living in a country today that is quite different from the one that we were taught to love. Parents have succesfully defended in court their children’s right to ignore the flag salute. Facul ties and student bodies have found it distasteful to publicly take an oath of loyalty to their country. And the United States Military Acedamey has found it necessary to place a sign be side its parade grounds at West Point reminding spectators that it is customary for men to re move their hats at the passing of the banner that was once un- ashamedly referred to as “Old Glory.” The force of government is now directed more fully toward the security of the wreak than the eucouragement of the strong. In business, it is said the way to survive is to emulate the turtle —grow a hard shell and never stick your neck out. We have come quite a way since Theodore Roosevelt told us: ‘Fai better it is to dare mighty htings, to win glorious triumphs, even though checker ed by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows no victory or defeat.’ What has happened To us, I in Natural History. think, is that we have changed from an exporting country to an importing country. The United States of America was once the greatest exporter of ideas the world has ever known. We created and sold abroad the idea of individual dignity, responsibility, and free dom. We ci'eated and sold abroad the idea of government of the people, by the people, and for the people. An idea that is still being bought today. you and I were young. We have, I think, bought in the bazaars of Asia Minor the idea that an hon est man is either a fool or a liar. From our most mortal enemy we have bought the idea of a strong goverament for weak people. We have bought abroad the ideas of ‘Let Jack do it, or ‘What’s in it for me?’ and the gesture of the neatly shrugged shoulder The othtr day, I am told by a friend, his young son came home from his progressive school proudly exhibiting a book that he had won for excellence ‘However did you do that?’ the delighted father asked. ‘The teacher,’ answered the son, asked how many legs an ostrich has, and I said three.’ ‘But an ostrich has only two legs,’ the father protested. ‘I know,’ said the boy, ‘but I came closest. All the other kids said four.’ NEED FOR ‘REMEDIAL THINKING’ This may be funny. But it is not so funnv that our colleges WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME? i are loaded today with young- It is hard to find a basic idea sters who are hardly prepared that America has exported since for high school—kids who cannot do simple arithmetic and who cannot spell simple words. This, too, was an import—the idea that the dull discipline of the three R’s was disturbing to little Johnny’s ego. So ,we got real scientific and went (0 work on the Poor Little Kid and his IQ, with the result that today hardly any school that really is a school is without a clas in remedial reading. It would save consid erable money if the class were held in the very highest level of our teacher’s colleges and were calld ‘Remedial Thinking.’ For surely we ought by now to know ickens, ducks, an monkeys know there is no learning without discipline. v Our museums today are ex hibiting on their walls painting by people who never learned to paint. It used to be a sort of joke that you could not tell which was the top and which was the bot tom, but recently a museum did hang a bit of modern art up side down. Once we were a laughing na tion. The corn may have been as high as an elephant’s eye — but we laughted, and it was good for us. . . .” IF YOU DON’T READ THE GHRONIC/LE YOU DON’T GET THE NEWS PHONE 836-6541 Ice - Minnows - Crickets - Worms FISHING TIME IS HERE!

A BIGGER WmU TNI CHU8CH FOR All... All FOR THE CHURCH ' The Church is the greatest Carter on earth Cor the build* lug of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouae of spiritual values. Without democracy nor civilisation can survive. There are four Bound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the church. They are: (1) For hie ‘ (2) For his chil dren’s sake. (3) For the sake of hie community and nation. (4) For the sake of the church itself, which needs his moral and material support Flan to go to church regularly and read your Bible dally. There comes a time, even in a chick’s life, when the way must open to a greatly expanded world. When his confining shell no longer allows proper growth, he makes a point of throwing off his shackles and steps out into a big, strange world. This comparatively simple phenomenon is paral leled in human existence as each child grows toward adulthood, and reaches out for the wider horizon. What he finds there will depend in great part on what he has been taught. For this reason the early and continued guidance of Christian home and church are all-important. From these things the foundation of faith is built. Through fkith and understanding the shackles of fear and bondage are dispelled, and your child grows spiritually strong to meet the ever-widening horizons and chal lenges of a modem world. * Copyright 1964, Kebt«r Adrwtkrfnf S«rrlc*, lat, Stnuburg, V*.
