Xo one will challenge the soldierly qualities of Napol eon. Napoleon was a ^reat stu dent. He carried a library on his campaigns and was deeply lead. He slept just a few hours and read while his generals slept. Napoleon, while in exile on the Isle of St. Helena, talked and pondered the great men arid accomplishments of the Ages, While discussing Jesus he was not thinking of t h e Re urrection, but in terms of . mpire. He said: “Alexander, t'hat h-mague and myself built great empires, hut they were built on force and fell." “Jesus built an empire on love and it grows and grows each day I tell you Jesus was not a man; He was (lod. So the resurrection of Jesus ua- the outstanding event of all times. What does it mean to you and me? You have read of the cruci fixion— the agony of the cross. What dues it teach us? How- dees it affect you ami me—and the men and women of all times ? The rising of Je.mis brings vividly to us not that we rise in full bodily form or vigor, He did, hut that we have an eternal spirit which is our a lose fellowship with the Lord Jesus ami the Almighty God We know that we do not turn to dust, ashes to ashes, so much as what we call death lelcases the eternal spirit which is fellowship with Jesus fore ver. Sometimes we fail to esti mate fully the figuie of the Bible. Muses, for example, should he rated as one of the great nivit of all time. You may re in.unbur that Moses commun- e.i with God and received the tablet.', a great communion w11h the I.oid of all the earth ..ml all the world. 'i .Hi ma\ hue. heard .>f .Mo'- ■ Aareli ami the calf. Mo'.■> v a - a v.: eat lead.-r. a notable organizer and admin istrator, hut slow of speech— no apparent relationship to American political leaders. God suggested Aaron as Moses’ assistant because Aaron seemed fluent in speech. While Moses was in the mountain in communion with God, the people rebelled against Aaron and forced him to make a calf, which they worshipped. When Moses saw that, he ground the calf to powder and compelled the people to lap it up. That showed remarkable force in Moses, eh? Moses was the Master, a real master; Aaron like a yielding complacent political figure. You may have heard the story of the man who started out with two beautiful horses, a black and a white, and sev eral crates cf chickens. He was to give a horse to a man who was the real boss of the house. Soon most of the chickens were gone, hut the two horses re mained. At a house the man called for the head of the house and told him his instruc tions. The- man said, give me the white horse; I’ve always wanted a white horse. The wife tried to dissuade him modestly, hut she said “No white horse is coming here.” Whereupon the man said “Well, give me the black horse.” “Oh, no” said the driver—I’ll give you a crate of chickens.” This great country of ours was built on work, savings, in vestment. Today theorists who built very little, if anything, are imposing so many rules and regulations that we wonder whether they try to squeeze all the profit out of business; or, whether, they really hope to drive business out of ex istence. 1 am inclined to believe that a strict scrutiny of all regula tory Commissions is in order. We might find it best to elim inate most of them and let business thrive. Business not only provides profit, but pays interest; creates markets for the materials and provides work for many thousands. I do not mean to overlook taxes, for business is a heavy tax payer. We seem to be under the eon- trcl of men who have nothing and appear determined to squeeze the life out of our productive enterprises. Our nation is rapidly be coming the haven of theorists and all want to organize, organ ize and organize more. We are already over-organized. I should like to hear from >onie man who wants to re build our nation on the chi “WHATSOEVER THINGS” By DONALD E. WILDMON Yuri Alexeyevitch Gagarin, the first human ever to enter space, was killed when the plane he was piloting crashed. He died as he lived among his fellow Russians—a hero. The report said he “sacrificed his life to ''ave a peasant village.” Most of us remember Gagar in by the feat he pulled in the year 1961. The date was April 12. He rode his spaceship Vos- tok I on a trip around the earth and returned safely. Gagarin, a Major at the time, was only 27 years old. He had made history before he had reached middleage. foundation. Only recently have I regard ed our nation as over suscep tible to emotional appeals that strike at the very foundations, I like to think of some of our early builders, such as George Washington, J. J. Hill, E. H. Harriman, Henry Ford and others. Our trend is to Social ism and the country is being given to unproductive elements who are about to absorb all we produce and eventually all the pep and zip of our economic life. We are having a sort . of spasm of building, particularly of banks and filling stations. Now the question is will the banks fill the filling stations or will the stations fill the banks. I ask you!

RUBBER STAMPS — Made at THE SUN OFFICE When he was buried, he was buried with a hero’s funeral. His funeral was on Red Square in Moscow. People turned out in droves, and they wept as they sang his praises. His death was a national tragedy. Death has a way of making us forget many things about people. How was it that Wm. Shakespeare put it? “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.” Guess that is about right in some cases. And in other cases it is exactly the opposite. Somehow we have forgotten what Yuri Gagarin said during that first trip of mankind around our Mother Earth. Oh, to be certain, he said many things. But one of them kinda stands out in my mind. It is, actually, the only thing I can remember him saying. While spinning around up there he sent back this message: “I can see no God.” His intention, of course, was to disprove the belief of mil lions of people that there is a Creator responsible for this race and space. His words did little to dispel any of our be liefs in the Almighty. In real ity, they could have strength ened some in their belief. You see, the existence of a Powerbehind this universe does not depend on one man’s abil ity to see Him. And, despite his tremendous educational ad vances, man can neither “prove” nor “disprove” His existence. Gagarin was raised in a sys tem that taught him that there was no Creator. It taught him that this earth was and is purely an accident. That there is no right or wrong but only a state. Taught him that his allegiance was not to any thing else other than the state. “The State,” he was taught, “is your god.” Th? state, being ,his god took him and buried him and said that all that remained of Yuri Gagarin was his influ ence. Like millions of others who have died he left a wife and two children, ages 7 and 9. They will be raised in the same society he was. Yuri Gagarin couldn’t see God on that first trip aruund the earth. Now he is dead. I wonder if Yuri Gagarin can see God now ? > Ij'I'M '.a (!;■ SOUTH CAROLINA NATIONAL BANK * BankAmericard. i.
