FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1915
Mr. J. K. 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

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.
