FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1915
Mr. J. K. Breedin made a very sensible
prohibition address at the First
Baptist Church Sunday night. The
way he presents the subject it appeals
to the business man. There has
been a general awakening to the paralyzing
influence of the liquor traffic
on business. It does not pay to sell
whiskey. The revenue costs more
than it comes to.
According to our humble judgment
the present general assembly is composed
of as fine timber as has been
gathered there in many a year. There
seems to be more sober, serious
thought, more determination to make
good, on the part of our law makers
than has been the case in a long
time. These gentlemen seem to take
their jobs seriously. That is just
what the people who elected them
wish them to do. The trust is a
high one, and deserves to be taken
in earnest.
We freely open the columns otThe
Times to any Union citizen. We
are not responsible for the views of
those who contribute articles. We do
not mean to endorse the views of a
writer, not even the articles contributed
by our regular correspondents.
But we believe in being impartial.
We invite discussion upon live questions.
At this time we especially invite
a discussion of the proposed
Good Roads Bond issue. We do not
care whether we agree with the idea
that will be expressed. That is not
the question. It is one of fairness,
of opening wide the column- of The
Times for sane, honest discussion.
Next week the bill calling for a
vote upon the question of issuing
bonds to build good roads will perhaps
pass.
The draft of the bill as we understand
it, has many good features. We
had hoped the bill as introduced
mifrVit 11c? f a?? nnlJino
tion this week. But up to the time
of going to press we have not been
able to pet hold of it.
THE CONSTANTLY BREAKING
CIRCLE
One of the painful facts of our
earthly career is that the circle of
friendship is constantly being broken
by the Grim Reaper. As we settle
into our place in the complete circle,
no sooner do we begin to breathe
freely than there comes another
shock?death enters the circle and
the jar runs throughout the whole.
One feature of this discordant fact
is in the resulting decrease in the
number of the completed whole. True,
one may keep on the alert to bring
in new material, and it is a duty
we owe ourselves so to do. But the
task becomes more and more diflicult
as the years pile upon our heads.
We become less nimble-footed in our
'PI I ~ ~
*jucni ivi m:w l lit"I t' IJS U
sort of hardening of the spiritual
arteries and our recuperative poweii,
become less pronounced. There is
this cheering hope, however. One
finds less and less satisfaction in the
mere physicial comforts of life and
leans more and more to the spiritual
verities. The shock to our physicial
foundations drives us to a surer hope
in the blessed thought of immortality.
Perhaps it is the purpose of the
Heavenly Father to produce just thi?
result, and the hardest experiences
of life are thus driving us to the one
enduring value?salvation. It is
utterly inconceivable that a life such
as we now know, with its heart throbs
and sorrows, should be the end for
which we were created. If man has
no life beyond the grave the wholv
I
thing is a huge unmistakable failure.
The hunger for eternal life is a
strong guarantee that such a life is
within our grasp. The breaking of
the circle here does but awaken us
to our need and force us to seek for
the soul comfort in the thought of
an enduring circle beyond the grave.
The great Teacher spoke but little
in definite terms of the hereafter,
but the words He did speak upon the
subject are frought with abounding
comfort. "In my Father's house"?
"I go to prepare a place for you"?
"The hour cometh, and now is, when
all that are in their graves shall
come forth"?the few such expressions
that fell from His lips have
done more to comfort and heal the
broken hearts of this world than all
the sciences and philosiphies on earth

A LETTER FROM LODGE
Editor Union Times:?It has been
some time since I have written anything
for your columns. But I have
read with deep interest every issue
of the paper. I still have a deep and
abiding interest in all that contributes
to the upbuilding of my native
county, and I am glad that the Times
still stands at the fore-front of those
forces that operate for the general
welfare.
Here, as elsewhere in the world,
we have "war times." Our customers
in Europe are fighting, and the
end is not in sight. There is no use
to mourn over the situation. We
must make the best of it. We must
adjust ourselves to the vexed situation,
and I am persuaded that we
will do so with that courage, and
faith in God that has ever characterized
the American people. Every
cloud has its silvery lining, and the
silvery lining is prophetic of the
passing of the cloud. This cloud will
pass away as all other clouds have
done. Prosperity will return in due
time, and we will forget these dark
days in the light and glory of that
which is to come. God still maintains
supreme control of the nations.
He who sees the end from the beginning
will see to it that His purposes
are carried out.
There are some things for which
we should be profoundly thankful.
One is this, that we are not as a
nation engaged in this conflict. That
wisdom and foresight that guided
our forefathers in founding this republic
so that there could be no
"entangling alliances" with foreign
nations is one of our present saftguards.
The many miles of ocean
that intervene between us and the old
world, making us practically immune
from foreign invasion, is something
for which we should be thankful.
Then the fact that America is regarded
all over the world as a peaceloving
nation, and the fact that all
her acts in the past have been consistent
with this profession, places
us in a most enviable position at this
time. Then we should be thankful
that our present government is in
the hands of men whom people can
safely trust. Then we have resources
of our own sufficient to sustain
us in any situation. We are at peace'
with one another and with the world.
Furthermore, we have a great. responsibility
resting upon us as the
only great christian nation now at
peace. We must live up to our ideaU
We must show to the world, not simply
by profession but by splendid
action that there is a more excellent
way. Every American should be an
active peace advocate. It is to be
our privilege to lead the bleeding
nations to an abiding peace. Meanwhile,
we should not forget that we
have our own perils?that the only
foundation for abiding peace is justice
between man and man and between
nations. The injured must
cry out against the injurer, and if
there is not a peaceful adjustment
the resort to arms will finally follow. J
So let us, without giving over to I
despondency in the least possible de
gree, adjust ourselves to the new and I
trying conditions, and with faith in E
God and good will toward fellow-men I
let us enter the year 1915 with un- I
dimmed hope and with the just and I
reasonable expectation that our ef- |
forts will be crowned with success.
