K. £reeihn “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." Do you believe that 1 ? Have you any idea of the extent of what we call the earth'’ The vast multitude of things on the earth, the things under the earth and under the sea. Wonderful provisions made by God for humanity: trees, grass es, fruits, and minerals. Just to think of a few amid the great multitude: “fire-wood" lumber, coal, oil, still stand to day almost paramount, for we bring in and ship out millions of tons of coal and hundreds of millions of tons of oil; many millions of tons of coal are still shipped from Great Britain as well as from the United States; oil in incredible quantities is now found in many places of the world, recently in a vast outpouring from Alaska. There is a search for oil all over the world all the time. Traveling across the conti nent just a few years ago I saw flares burning for many miles but afterwards those burn ing flares of gas not there be cause the gas was -utilized To day so much gas is brought from the west to the east that gas is highly important even in South Carolina. I think most of the gas for this State is brought in by the South Carolina Gas and Electric Company. I may mention one little item: a big industry wishes to operate in Georgetown and asks that the South Carolina Eelectric and Gas Company have its gas line- serve Georgetown whien It lias agreed to do at a cost of four million dollars. One of our greatest resources is our abundant supply of el ectricity; taking the nation as a whole our greatest source of wealth must be our available development of electricity; and that applies to South Carolina also. Just to give you an idea our one wholly South Carolina source of electricity is South Carolina Electric & Gas Com pany. This Company has in creased its investment in thirty- odd years from one hundred million dollars to nearly six hundred million dollars. We have great resources in fruit and agriculture and truck ing. Also among our resources are our churches and preachers, remembering always the dedi cated life of our tradition. Our people, as a whole, are a fine body—almost pure Amer ican stock. It is said that South Carolina has the largest per centage of pure American blood of any other State in the Union; and I would not overlook the very fine men who direct the vast industrial life of the State. PROTECTED? Hardly! A judgment far $85,000, due to an auto accident far exceeded the limits of his liability insurance. These days, it is the duty of an agent to point out the hazard of inadequate cover age, the low cost of extra protection. Advice that comes from years of experience is an extra dividend. We would like to be your agent. “YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS" 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 "Whatsoever Things' By DONALD E WILDMON A PRICELESS TREASURE Copyrisrht, 1969, Donald E. Wildmon There is something of far more worth than fine gold. There is some thing to be treasured more than pre cious rubies. There is something which does more healing than all the miracle drugs. And, yes, there is something of more value than all the money this world offers. What is this thing of which I speak? Why, friendship, of course. For the most precious thing a man can have is friends. And the more friends one has, the richer he is. Poor, indeed, is the man who is friendless, He is to be pitied. How can one acquire friends? What magic formula can one use to get rich with friends? Well, the only way in the world that one can gain friends is to be friendly. You see, the old law that we have spurned is true. When you give, you get. So it is that when you give friendship, you get a friend. Friendship Isn't Free Now don’t fool yourself into think ing that friendship is free. It most certainly is not. It is an expensive thing. It requires appreciation, sacri fice, and even the most costly of vir tues—love. You must pay a high price for friendship. But in return you get a high profit in friends. Sometimes we miss the beauty of this thing we call friendship. How was it that Ralph Waldo Emerson said it: “The glory of friendship is not the out stretched'hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers ^hat someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship.” Friendship is spiritual inspiration that comes when someone believes in you, is pull ing for you and willing to trust you to the uttermost. Can you see now why friendship is to be valued so? It lifts our sagging spirits to know that someone cares, that someone is concerned about us. I guess that is the reason that we can never have a friend who is as good a friend as the Naza- rene. He cares about us. He trusts us. He believes in us. He is our greatest Friend. Friendship And Love Friendship, you see, is born of love. Where there is no love, there can be no friend. That’s the reason His friend ship is to be cherished above all others. For He did not give up on us even when we did our worse—at the Cross. Someone has said that a friend is one who comes in when the whole world goes out. The rebellious young man we call the Prodigal Son learned who his friend was in this manner. When everyone else has forsaken us, our friends will be beside us. That’s what friends do. “A friend of publi cans and sinners." When no one else would have anything to do with them, He still loved them. Well, we said friendship is priceless. And it is. So make all the friends you can. But remember this, to make a friend you must be a friend. —FIVE STAR FEATURES Obscene mail bill introduced by Bryan Dorn Congressman Bryan Dorn ap peared before the Operations Subcommittee of the House Post Office and Civil Service Com mittee last week concerning the increasing flow of obscene mat erial through the U. S. mail. Dorn told the committee “Con stituents from every section of my Congressional District have sent me shocking material they Lave received through the maT unsolicited." Dorn said, “Some of this obscene filth is being received by children 8 years of age." "For too long”, Dorn said, “we have heard the cry of the infringement of the right of free speech. But the so-called right of free speech is not ab solute. The cry of free speech has been heard so often and so loud that we have become deaf to the pleas in the name of common decency.” Dorn expressed alarm that “a person’s name, without his knowledge, could appear on lists purchased from companies who specialize in compiling and selling such lists to anyone cap able of paying the price." Dorn has introduced legisla tion to protect the privacy of the American home from the invasion by mail of provocative material and to prohibit the use of the United States mails to disseminate material harmful to minors. Briefly, it would attack the pornography in the home problem by prohibiting use of the mails to send sexually pro vocative materials (1) to any home whose householder has not asked for them, and (2) to a minor in any state having laws against dissemination of obscene materials to minors. Congress man Dorn said, “in controlling the flow of smut, it would place the burden on the purveyor, rather than on the Post Office or the Department of Justice. My bill provides for fines up to $50,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both, for vio lations. City Building Permits R. E.

He talked on “El Ente de Fic- cion Liberado en el Teatro de Miguel de Unamuno," (The Fictional Free Entity in the Theatre of Miguel de Unamuno). Unamuno, who lived from 1867- 1936, is considered by many to be Spain’s greatest literary fig ure since Cervantes. ?«>: Lev,! i f f L?! y t 0( t y v. ’. i i : f ■ c ;<< ■ r. lor' * ' ■ o i o,.
