In the year 1931, Aldous Huxley,
the famous skeptic, wrote on the sub
ject: “Wanted, A New Pleasure.” In
the essay, he said: “As far as I can
see the only possible new pleasure
would be derived from the invention
of a new drug which would provide
a harmless substitute for alcohol. If
I were a millionaire, I should endow
a band of research workers to look for
the ideal intoxicant. If we could sniff
or swallow something that would a-
bolish inferiority, atone us with our
fellows in a glowing exultation of af
fection and make life in all its aspects
seem not only worth living but divine
ly beautiful and significant, and if
this heavenly world-transforming drug
were of such a kind that we could
wake us next morning with a clear
head and undamaged constitution,
then it seems to me that all our prob
lems would be solved and earth would
be a paradise.”
Huxley was hunting something we
all hunt in life. Every person seeks
what he wanted. The difference comes
in the method in which we seek it. For
him, and countless others, th^ answer
could be found in a drug or a bottle.
Some kind of magic to turn the trick.
Some of the rest of us have found
that which Huxley searched for, but
we didn’t find it in the magic of f
bottle. We found it in the miracle ol
a Cross. We have followed the little
Jew tentmaker’s advice: “Do not get
drunk with wine, which will only ruin
you; instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
Abolish inferiority? We have ridden
ourselves of it by hearing Him tell us
that we are “the light of the world . . .
the salt of the earth.” And when He
compares us with terms like those we
cannot feel inferior.
Affection toward our fellows? We
have found that, too. You see, the Gali
lean has taught us to do exactly what
Mr. Huxley wanted—to love one anoth
er. He set the example. He loved us.
“Greater love has no man than this
...” Then, because of His love, He
faced that Cross.
And something to make life more
than mere existing? Some, who fol
low the Galilean, can say with Him:
“ . . . for this purpose I have come . . .”
And making life beautiful? There is
nothing more beautiful in all of life
than to see it as His creation. To
know that He is there, behind it all,
full of love for us even when we don’t
deserve it, makes life eternally beau
tiful. He is, indeed, the Source of all
beauty!
A clear head and undamaged con
stitution? He gives that, too. Let’s
you think clearly and live with a con
stitution written by the Author of
Life.
Mr. Huxley kept hunting for that
“magic” drug. On November 22. 1963.
thirty-one years after his wish, Huxley
tried a new drug called LSD which
many thought to be the answer to
his wish. His wife administered the
drug to Huxley, dying of cancer. It
was the last drug Huxley ever experi
mented with. You see, it was a one
way trip.

Life is full of surprises: in
looking over some papers
which must have come to m<
several years ago while I wa:
in a hospital I found a large
envelop and in it a very hand
some picture of my cherished
friend, R M. Edwards, a great
hanker. It amazed me and over
whelmed me to find a little
tribute to me by his own hand.
It was in keeping with his gra
cious call from a hospital to
wish me a Merry Christmas.
Here is the tribute that I
found: “My friend and Pal—
J. K. Breedin, whose courage,
fortitude and integrity have
been an inspiration to me. With
highest regards and affection
ate esteem. B. M. Edwards.”
Nothing that I ever said or
did or wrote justifies that
great tribute.
Cod rest his spirit with the
great of all ages.
I have always admired the
courage of Strom Thurmond
and I think he is a very fine
figure in the Senate.
In our state politics,! am
at somewhat of a loss: I am
not sufficiently informed to
discuss local figures.
Long weeks in a hospital has
afforded me opportunity to let
my mind range over many
things. For example we hear
now and then of mistakes made
by men in office who are now
candidates for re-election.
Do you remember a man who
denied Jesus, even after Jesus
had told him that he would ne-
ny him three times?
This man denied him three
times, declaring the third time
with curses, “I know’ not the
man,” and now on the day of
resurrection Jesus called for
him. “Go tell my disciples anc
Peter to meet me in Galilee.”
And Peter was restored and be
came one of the most effective
apostles.
May we not have a small
bit of that great spirit and en
list in useful service men who
were once mistaken? So 1
think we may sometimes be ir
error ourselves by cherishing
animosit y.
In the great campaigns I
think we might be guided a-
right by thinking of the capa
bility of the candidate, rather
than being governed by some
prejudice. I call your attention
to the meaning of prejudice, it
means judging a man perhaps
by something of long ago ra
ther than the conditions of to
day.
I have been judging harshly
perhaps, some of the candidates
for their nervousness and jump
ing about. Perhaps I have found
an explanation: during my
long stay in the hospital I de
veloped an itch that set me on
f ire and I could not account for
it. Upon my arrival home I
developed another itch and my
doctor says both times I was
suffering from a reaction of
heavy doses of penicillin, so it
may be that all this jumping
about and irritability may be
the result of penecillin.
Letter To Editor
“I am encouraged by the fact
that our citizens voted to allow
the bonded indebtedness limit
for school construction to be
raised from 8 to 80 percent
This is a step forward which
could not have been accomplish
ed without the cooperation of
many people who are interest
ed in better education for our
boys and girls.
Our goal could not have been
reached had it not been for the
untiring efforts of the Educa
tion Committee of the Newber-
rv County Development Board,
the radio stations, the county
newspapers, the principals, tea
chers and students of our
schools, the persons distributing
literature at the polls and many
others who helped to inform
the public of our need.
I wish to personally thank
all our citizens who voted for
our bonded indebtedness limit
increase and all persons who in
any way helped to make our
campaign successful.
Sincerely,
Newberry County Public
Schools
Ralph E. Watkins, Jr.,
Director.
