THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 29, 1939 REV CHARLES E. DUNN The Infancy of Jesus. Lesson (for October 1st: Matthew 1 and 2. Golden Text: Matthew 1:23. The fourth and final quarter of the year is to be devoted to studies in the gospel of St. Matthew under the general heading, “The Kingdom of Heaven.” The lesson titles and Scripture references have been pre pared by the International Council of Religious Education. It would be hard to overestimate the importance of Matthew. Mark has the advantage of being the old est gospel, Luke is the most beau tiful, and John is the most sublime. But Matthew has been properly called “the fundamental document of the Christian religion.” So it is no wonder that it is placed at the very beginning of our New Testa ment. Matthew excels in his presenta tion of the teachings of Jesus. No where else are they presented with such fullness. The Sermon on the Mount, for example, which has always been regarded as the classi cal expression of Christian morals, occupies three whole chapters. Matthew is also our most com prehensive gospel. A1 phases of Jesus’ varied activity, all aspects of his teaching, and many differing kinds of Christian interpretation are represented within the scope of its generous outlook. Moreover Matthew is the church gospel. He is the only evangelist who specifically mentions the church. It is apparent that the church was constantly in his mind. We are impressed, too, with the strongly Jewish accent in Matthew. Ke was a Jew writing for Jews about a Jew. Hence we are not sur prised to find 65 references to the Old Testament in Matthew’s por trait, many more than in any other gospel. In almost every chapter we find the phrase, “that the scripture might be fulfilled.” Our lesson is the story of the childhood of Jesus as narrated in the first two chapters of the gospel. Here we find a presentation of the genealogy and birth of Jesus, and the romantic story of Jesus, and the Wise Men to the divine baby. The Golden Text reveals Matt hew’s dependence upon the Old Test ament, for it is a quotation from Isaiah 7:14. Jesus is indeed Em manuel, or “God with us.” ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MAYOR I hereby announce myself as a can didate for the office of Mayor of the city of Newberry, and pledge myself to abide by the laws, and the rules and regulations governing the Demo cratic Primary Election.

WALLACE KRELL SLAYER TO FACE TRIAL Anderson Moon, slayer of Police Officer Forest Krell, will be tried for the murder in general sessions court which convenes here on Monday, Oc tober 16th. Moon is still being held in the peni tentiary at Columbia and will be brought here for trial when court opens. What defense, if any, Moon will make is not known. At least one prominent firm of lawyers in the city has been sought in the case, but is said to have refused to defend the al- News . . Atrocities leged slayer of the police officer. Officer Krell was fatally shot a few j weeks ago when he entered Moon’s! house to seek a pistol after having j arrested Moon’s son following the shooting of his wife. Moon was spirited away to Columbia the night of the shooting after giving himself up to Ralph B. Baker at his summer place on Lake Murray. Mr. Baker took him to Columbia where he was lodged in the Richland county jail pending necessary papers to commit him to the penitentiary. Newberry people were much arous ed over the shooting of the popular police officer, but officers are of the opinion that* there will be no trouble when Moon is brought back here to face trial. It is said that the Society for the Advancement of Colored people may seek counsel for Moon, but this could not be confirmed here. In case he fails to secure counsel to represent him the presiding judge will appoint one or more local attorneys to de fend him. . . Radio . . Religion .. Censorship . . NEWS censored We are not getting much news, so far, from the war fronts in Eu rope. What comes through is most ly in the form of brief official state ments. No reporters have been per mitted to go to the front with the armies at war, and whatever they can pick up from behind the lines is carefully censored hy the govern ments concerned before it can be cabled or sent by wireless. There are several reasons for this lack of reliable news from the war front. American newspapers and press services have more and better reporters in Europe than they had when the last great war began. They are doing their best to get the news and send it back to their papers. But the fighting nations have learned from the last war, and so have the newspapers. One of the lessons the nations have learned is that newspaper men are not ready to take unconfirmed statements as truth. Another is that news about the movement of troops, once disclosed, becomes public prop erty instantly. The radio picks it up from the newspapers and the enemy learns what the other side is doing. ATROCITIES beware In the beginning of the last world war, in 1914, the newspapers were filled with stories about German atrocities in Belgium. Reports of Belgium babies with both hands cut off were told wherever people got together, and gradually were mag nified into such absurd stories that sensible people stopped listening to them. These atrocity stories did much, however, to inflame American public opinion against the Germans, and prepare this country for war. I have never been able to find out whether such stories were inspired by the British and French propagan dists, or were mere unconfirmed rumors picked up and cabled to America by reporters a great deal less responsible than the ones now in the field of war. In time of war it is a sound plan not to listen to or believe most of the rumors you hear. Wait until the reports are fully confirmed. I was “war editor” of one daily paper in the Spanish-American war, manag ing editor of another in the World War, and had the handling of war news in the Japanese-Russian and Boer wars. My hardest task was to try to separate mere rumors from the facts. That is the newspapers’ hard est job today. RADIO danger 'The big broadcasting companies are learning, and so are their listen ers, that they cannot “cover” the war with microphones. In the first place, they can’t send reporters with radio equipment out with the armies. The military people have a monopoly on radio facilities on the field. At best, the only neys radio can possibly send from the scene of action is scrappy bulletins, which mean noth ing until they are assembled and edited. So far, radio reporters in this war have been dependent on the news paper reporters for most of their news. The best service they have rendered has been the broadcast comments and interpretations of war news by competent journalists who know how to judge the truth and importance 0 f daily developments. The glreater danger the Ameri can people face in this crisis is the danger of having their minds tainted and their judgement warped by prop aganda, one-sided and actually half- true, or wholly false statements and conclusions, based on false premises, but put forth wholly true. Heard over the air in the tones of the ex pert arouser of emotions, such prop aganda can make the unthinkable be lieve almost anything, for the mo ment. RELIGION .... Americanize Nothing can stir people so strong ly as religious disputes. Going back through history the seeds of nearly all of the world’s current troubles are found springing from ancient religious differences. We have not yet entirely freed ourselves in America from the bitterness and hatreds which our forebears, and those who have come to this country since, brought with them. Nothing can do (greater harm to our democracy than to have old re ligious intolerances revived and pub licly promoted. For a representa tive of one religious group to de nounce the members of another re ligion as enemies of the nation is not only a violation of the very Spirit of the Constitution, but it is dangerous in a time when every American’s chief concern should be to bury all differences of that sort, and think only of the nation’s welfare. When I hear on a radio and read in the press denuciations of the en tire membership of one religion by a spokesman for another religious sect, I wonder how long it will take for America to become American ized. CENSORSHIP .... justifiable The last thing any good American wants is the sort of censorship which would prevent anybody from saying what he thinks at any time. To deprive anybody of that right of free speech would be the begin ning of the end of our democracy. It is justifiable only when the speaker incites to riot or rebellion or urges the overthrow of our government by force. In time of war such utter ances are trer on, punishable by death. It seems to me that it is no less treason, morally if not legally, for a foreign-born citizen who has volun tarily taken the oath of allegiance to our nation and its laws, to broad cast denunciations of other citizens as a class because they hold differ ent religious views from his own. Our Government has full power of censorship over the radio. It would be justified in using it, it seems to me, in such a period of national stress, against those who seek to set class against class, re ligion against religion, race against race. Woodpeckers do not carry nesting materials, because they lay their eggs in a soft bed of sawdust, produced as they drill for food in the trees. ^Scratching If RELIEVE ITCHIN6 SKINOtf/cAfr Even the most stubborn itching of eczema, blotches, pimples, athlete’s foot, rashes and other externally caused skin eruptions, quickly yields to pure, cooling, antiseptic, liquid D.D.D.

PRESCRIPTION. 1*. ) O v FROM THE WRITINGS OF Dr. Frank Crane Lincoln’s Legacy H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL COUNTS Beginning October the first there will be a new feature on the Travel ing Library—a 4-H Club Shelf. These books have been bought especially for ages ranging from 10 to 18 and cover differen phases of reading matter. It is hoped that each club member will take advantage of this service. A great man leaves the world two legacies. One is the ideal which inspires young people to become more ser viceable and worth while. The other comprises those speeches of common-sense and idealism that we remember and repeat and revere because the great man said them. In time they become part of the thought of those who repeat them and have an influence upon their j lives. Such are Thomas Jefferson’s: “Let error be free so long as Truth is free to combat it.”; Theodore Roosevelt’s: “The law of worthy life is fundamentally the law of strife”; and Benjamin Franklin’s: “Diligence is the mother of good luck.” Few men have left a richer legacy of the second form than Abraham Lincoln. Put this nugget from the mine of his understanding up somewhere in a place where you will see it every day: “STAND WITH ANYBODY THAT STANDS RIGHT. STAND WITH HIM WHILE HE IS RIGHT, AND PART WITH HIM WHEN HE GOES WRONG.” It is time to use your pears. Try one of these recipes: Pear Jam 4 lbs. Keifer pears (other pears may be used) 3 lbs. sugar 1 c. grated pineapple or 1 oz. gin ger root 2 lemons % c. water Peel and core the pears and put them through a food chopper. Press the juice from the lemons and re serve to add to the syrup, put the lemon rinds through the food chop per and add to the pear and to the fruit add the sugar, lemon juice and water. If fresh ginger root can be obtained, slice and add to the whole. If the died root must be used bruise the roots, tie them in a cloth and drop into the fruit while it cooks. Cool until it has reached the consis tence of jam, being careful not to scorch. It is very easy to overcook this product. If the grated pineapple is used omit the ginger and add the pineapple five minutes before the product is finished. Pack in steril ized jars and seal immediately. Only the rare and the great man is able to do that. Here are two tests: When the one you dislike most says something right, can you take his side? When the one you admire and like best, is on the wrong side, does the fact that yon like him blind you to the error? Everyone has his pet hate. It may be a man in public life, a newspaper, a writer of books, or an attitude of mind. When he meets it, it acts like a red flag to a bull. The test of that person’s character is whether he can recognize the right when it comes from one he hates. You can’t go very far in life with out meeting the problem. The easy thing to do is to condemn all the ideas of those with whom you disagree in the main. Most people don’t like the ideas of the ones they don’t like. They judge ideas on the basis of who said them. Everyone is a mixture of truth and error. Even the people we dislike. Only a Silurian-brained individual can get up a pure unadulterated hate. Others catch the occasional gleam of goodness and truth that is present in the worst. Emerson says somewhere that a man is cultured “as sooon as he sides with his critic against himself, witn joy.” Similarly, a man begins to become great, in the Lincoln sense of the word, when he arrives at the place where he can stand with ANYBODY - that stands right as long as they are right, without regard to his likes and dislikes. When Lincoln was assassinated the mortal part of him disappeared, but the better part, his spiritual in fluence, still lingers. Around him has grown up, per haps, a wealth of myths, but most of them serve to give point to his character. He will remain for all time as the inspiration to the youth of the world, who can do not better than to imitate his sterling honesty, his sense of humor and his strong sense of right.
