Breedin made a very sen sible prohibition address at the Firs Baptist Church Sunday night. Tin way he presents the subject it ap peals to the business man. There ha: been a general awakening to the par aly/.ing influence of the liquor traffic on business. It does not pay to sel whiskey. The revenue costs more than it comes to. According to our humble judgmen the present general assembly is com posed of as tine timber as has beei gathered there in many a year. Then Gfloms to to more sober seriom thought, more determination to maki good, on the part of our law maker: than has been the ease in a lonj: time. These gentlemen seem to tak< their jobs seriously. That is jus what the people who elected then wish them to do. The trust is j high one, and deserves to be takei in earnest. We freely open the columns o The Times to any Union citizen. W< are not responsible for the views o those who contribute articles. We d< not mean to endorse the views of ; writer, not even the articles contrib uted by our regular correspondents But we believe in being impartial We invite discussion upon live ques tions. At this time we e: "jcially in vite a discussion of the propose* Good Roads Bond issue. We do no care whether we agree with the ide; that will be expressed. That is no the question. It is one of fairness of opening wide the columns of Th> Times for sane, honest discussion Next week the bill calling for ; vote upon the question of issuinj bonds to build good roads will per haps pass. The draft of the bill as we under stand it, has many good features. W had hoped the bill as introduce might have reached us for publica tion this week. But up to the tim of going to press we have not bee able to pet hold of it. THE CONSTANTLY BREAKING CIRCLE One of the painful facts of ou earthly career is that the circle o friendship is constantly being broke by the Grim Reaper. As we settl into our place in the complete circle no sooner do we begin to breath freely than there comes anothe shock?death enters the circle an the jar runs throughout the whole One feature of this discordant fac is in the resulting decrease in th number of the completed whole. Tru< one may keep on the alert to brin in new material, and it is a dut we owe ourselves so to do. But th task becomes more and more difT cult as the years pile upon our head; We become less nimble-footed in ou quest for new associates. There is sort of hardening of the spiritui arteries and our recuperative powei become less pronounced. There this cheering hope, however. On finds less and less satisfaction in th mere physicial comforts of life an leans more and more to the spiritu; verities. The shock to our physicii foundations drives us to a surer hop in the blessed thought of immortalit; Perhaps it is the purpose of th Heavenly Father to produce just th result, and the hardest experience of life are thus driving us to the or enduring value?salvation. It utterly inconceivable that a life sue as we now know, with its heart throl and sorrows, should be the end f< which we were created. If man he no life beyond the grave the who ) | 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 her? 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"? I "The hour cometh, and now is, when t all that are in their graves shall come forth"?the few such expressions that fell from His lips have I done more to comfort and heal the ? broken hearts of this world than all the sciences and philosiphies on earth . the sciences and philosophies on earth NEWS LETTER FROM PACOLET Pacolet, S.

B. BR !?r BRICK STABLE k I I 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 thai 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 thankfu' 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 Deaee 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 ar. 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, So let us, without giving over to despondency in the least possible degree, adjust ourselves to the new and trying conditions, and with faith in God and good will toward fellow-men let us enter the year 1915 with undimmed hope and with the just and reasonable expectation that our efforts will be crowned with success. | J.
