The Pioneer Spirit Survives” xk kk * HIGHWAYS TO THE MOST HIGH Es ees! By RALPH ROGERS The rapid trend toward social- ‘sm by individuals and by govern- ments seems to be contageous. Its the idea of something for nothing and canbe likened to the Gold Rush of the 40’s. The difference seems to be that in the 40's the in- dividual, had to make an invest- ment and take a risk in order to up the gold. In socialism the ividual simply keeps’ still and the" gold is mailed to him. Let us not get a false idea how- ever. The provision being made for the aged and needy is most justifiable. In fact they are not being adequately provided for. A @trong appeal will be made to the Bext legislature in an effort to pro- vide for at least the minimym meeds of the family. Our govern- ment is anxious to provide for the @eedy and the aged. The staggering back-log of ap- peals for assistance together with the large number of cases to be re-checked makes it impossible for the case workers to keep up up with their work and do it thoroughly. Consequently there are a large number of fraudulent cases gradually coming to light. They seem to be of those individuals who are just too lazy to work, or cover up income or resources de- liberately in order to get ‘easy’ thoney. The taxpayer has a right to complain when such cases come to light and yet it is. almost im- possible with the limited workers | By Stephen J. Constant Contained within the Judeo-Chris- tian Scriptures are two of * the greatest promises the world has ever known. Why they are not continuously shouted from: the housetops by those who have made religion their profession is a mys- {tery that baffles many enlightened students of spiritual life. The, first of these two great pro- mises is incorporated within the 91st Psalm. I would like to touch upon it here and consider the other at a later date. In words impos- sible to misunderstand it states quite simply that any human | being who makes God Himself his home, will ottsin ys Oe benefits that are bey: ice, benefits so incredibly wonlesful | that few ever really believe that | the promise could or. would be kept. Yet those who have fulfilled: the conditions, met the. stipulations, know beyond all shadow of doubt made good. God is not mocked. Neither are we, His children. Apparently what bother most people who have given this any serious thought is’ the end. How are we to go about making God Himself our abiding place, our home? There is but-one way and it has. never varied. He who would make of the Most High his habitation must’turn his life and his. will over to the care of God. Not in’ part, not once in a while, but wholly, fully, totally. The decision to turn your life to ferret out all the frauds. The | and your will over to God’s care workers in our Key West office | is the greatest you will ever make. are doing a splendid job and fre-| When you first come to consider quently find those who are not} doing such a thing it may appall entitled to assistance. It is refreshing to find some who really want to do for themselves. It is evidence that the pioneer spirit is not altogether dead. The following letter shows the right attitude and represerits the type of American of which we are all proud, Deat Welfare Worker: After a visit from a very nice ‘oung case worker of yours, my band and I discussed at length last night the possibilities of our taking’ full responsibility of our mother. It has been on our minds and hearts for some months, but we hesitate to break away. We hesi- tate for a number of reasons. The money helps to keep body and soul together in a marital way but| with us. there -has been a .mental ‘and-psyehological problem. Mother has’been moved-from her old home of many years at the age of 80 and it has been a great strain on becoming adapted “and recon- ciled. The mental: up-lift she re- ceived from her small welfare check made her feel less depend- ent that she was not a heavy bur- den on her son-in-law. She is now happy in her new home. Because of this I feel so darn grateful’that I want to give thanks in every way and I believe I can by taking over her entire care. Her health has really improved and at her age I know that is unusual. I am so very grateful. I haye gone into detail’ so you ‘would understand our reasons and | feelings in.this and know we have} not inherited any fortune! It is! ‘thru F, and PRAYER and‘ ‘TRUST 80 lets let the present June | (payment the last and we will | ‘try and stand on our own two feet. | T close with a heart full of thanks | ‘and appreciation and it is a com- fort to know you are always stand- ang bi yy.

Some of the others are already swimming around, laughing, shouting, enjoying them- selves to the fullest. Repeatedly he asks them: “Is it. really cold?” Laughing and shouting yn louder they assure him it isn't, lly, but he touches a big toe to water and quickly withdraws it. He dawdles and hesitates, filled with indecision, with doubt. He could continue that way during the entire hot day, a- fraid to take the plunge, depriving himself of ‘all its benefits. Turning our lives and our will over to the care of God is very much like that, Many of us never can make | that plunge and for the very’same | reasons. ¥ H All Highways ultimately lead to | God in the Hig’ est.

Ralph Rogers, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, | White at Washington Sts., will preach Sunday morning at eleven o’clock, using as his subject “Christian Resources.” “The assurance of sufficient re- sources and support in any untried adventure lends confidence and |leads to success.

J.'Paul Touchton and | his family returned on Friday ; night from their vacation. Mr. |Touchton will preach ‘at both | services on Sunday. The morning topic will be Boast Only In God, Mr. Touchton says that many times we are tempted to trust in other things that may in them- selves be good and even great | but our salvation comes only as | we depend on God to work in jand through us to realize His }ends. It is a big temptation to trust in the security of our land as we are strong ‘in materials, | equipment and men for battle. | The Old Testament prophets had to face -his error. Those who are | sometimes called little men are | of utmost importance. i In the evening Mr. .Touchton | will speak on the topic Word Of} Life.
