A prayer to remember
Almighty God: We make our
earnest prayer that Thou wilt
keep the United States in Thy holy
protection: that Thou wilt incline
the hearts of the citizens to culti-
vate a spirit of subordination and
obedience to government: and en-
tertain a brotherly affection and
•love for one another and for their
fellow citizens of the United States
at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most
graciously be pleased to dispose us
all to do justice, to love mercy,
and to demean ourselves with that
charity, humility, and specific tem-
per of mind which were the chara-
cteristics of the Divine Author of
our blessed religion and without
a humble imitation of whose ex-
ample to these things we can
never hope to be a happy nation.
Grant our supplication, we be-
seech Thee, through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
The above was George Washing-
ton's prayer for the United States.

# _ fPII,
Christmas greetings each year and
a lot of people appreciate them.
They usually run something like
the following:
"With our sincere wishes may
we greet our friends and neigh-
bors this Christmas. Hope you
have a happy one.—Mr. and Mrs.
John Doe and children."
Such greetings run $1.00 each.
If you are interested in such a
column, to be run Dec. 24, let us
know. It is a nice way to let your
friends know you are thinking
of them.
Postal service deluxe
Jimmie Mac pointed out an er-
ror I made last week. First one
I ever made, too. I stated the
Post Office sold notices of change
in address cards. They actually
give them away. What a service.
But it does cost you 4c to mail
them, so I was about half right.
So when you move, grab a
hand-full and notify all publica-
tions you subscribe to. The Post
Office does not and is not allow-
ed to notify anyone when you
change your address.
Always remember, your Zip
Code is important; your change
of address is important; and it is
important to ask the Post Office
to forward mail other than first
class.
Holiday greetings
This reminder on the postage
you use on envelopes for your
Christmas cards comes from the
Post Office Department: A 5c
stamp provides first-class handl-
ing, with forwarding if the add-
resse has moved, or return if he
can't be located; personal corres-
pondancc can be enclosed. A 4c
stamp calls for third-class handl-
ing, with no forwarding or re-
turn; only signature and holiday
greetings are permitted. The latter
must not be sealed.
Live and learn
A good friends of mine, whom
I had always considered the epit-
ome of truth, told me last week
his great-great-great grandfather
invented the crystal radio during
the Civil War.
"My gosh!" I answered, "what
in th? world did he do with it?"
"Aw, he threw it away."
"Threw it away!!"
"Yeah! He couldn't get any-
thing on it."
I join the sucker rank, but I
at least know what he is now.
Nose that's news
I'd always thought myself a wee
bit of an odd-ball because I don't
blow my nose. Others keep right
on blowing but it was unseemingly
to me.
Now, for once in my life, I find
no nose blowing is good nose
blowing. I've never been bothered
much with colds. Yes, I have my
sniffles but not a blow could I
impose.
Dr. J. Grant Irving of Hartford,
Conn., is also a "no nose blower"
and he tells why:
"When an individual blows his
nose, he not only expels infected
mucus into his handkerchief, but
also forces it into the sinuses. As
a result, the lining membrane of
the sinus becomes infected and
pours out its own mucus. Even-
tually the sinus fills and a spill-
over into the nasal cavity occurs.
So he blows his nose and the 'vic-
ious cycle' that keeps the cold a-
live begins again."
The doctor says a normal cold
would last about three days, but,
for a nose blower, it is apt to
last three weeks or longer.
All my habits are not as for-
tunate but I'm glad nose blowing
seemed unseemingly to me years
ago. Let this be remembered: "You
are not blowing the cold out, you
are blowing it further In." ^
Watch these classifieds
Better Business Bureau list the
following nine "rackets" often
found in classified sections: 1.
vending machines which establish
routes and promise large profits;
2. heme work schemes; 3. rebuild-
ing auto engines and transmissions
for a fixed price; 4. teaching hyno-
tism; 5. sale of guns by unlicen-
esed dealers; 6. selling used cars
by telephone; 7. sale of shell homes
to be erected on owner's lot; 8.
fixed prices for TV repair service;
9. sales personnel for book firms.
Our modern world
I watch with amazement as that
little electric razor trims your
sideburns and wonder what they
will think of next. Now I discover
a new electric razor is being
planned for the bearded ones.
This new razor has an attach-
ment for sharpening pocket knives,
you can drop it in a glass of gin
and it wlil mix a martini for you.
Not only that, it has a toe-nail
trimming attachment and can be
used as a transistor radio. In fact,
I bet you could butcher hogs with
one if we still butchered hogs.
There is only one draw-back.
They can't get it to shave a man's
beard.
That's man for you
I had always adheared to the
song, "You Always Hurt the One
You Love," Now Dr. Karl Wenn-
inger tells us man destroys the
things he hales.
But he makes it even worse.
This defectiveness, which he in-
sists is common to all, comes out
most frequently in the form of
"accidents" — collisions, falls, all
kinds of mjshaps on the road, in
the home and at work.
People get killed by people, he
says. There may not be malice
aforethought, but "accidents" ex-
press a destructiveness that Dr.
Menninger says people have to-
ward others and themselves.
Now we can't have even a little
leg or arm breaking without be-
ing suspected.
These are the "dry" years
A verse of scripture that often
puzzles Bible students was uttered
by Jesus on His way to the cross.
He said: "For if they do these
things in a green tree, what shall
be done in the dry?" Luke 23:31.
Moffatt renders the passage,
"For if this is what they do when
the wood is green, what will they
do when the wood is dry?"
In reading the rest ol the con-
text you realize Jesus is prophecy-
ing. He is projecting His thought
to around 70 A.D. when Jerusa-
lem was sacked and on to our
period of history.
The passage could be rendered,
"If they do these things in ignor-
ance, what shall they do with
full knowledge."
In ignorance they were hanging
the Son of God on a tree. In our
day and time, those opposing
God are fully aware of what they
are doing and how they are doing
it. They disguise themselves as
missionaries of ''goodness," whose
sole mission is "peace" for those
who will follow.
Batista, though a tyrant him-
self, sheds light on Castro's me-
thods, which are world wide. He
said, "They came disguised as be-
lievers in His mission, wearing
beards as He did and carrying ro-
saries and crucifixes. This was a
sacrilegious mockery. . . . Thus
was slavery equated with freedom,
murder with justice, evil with
good, filth with cleanliness, the
liberation of peoples with their
enslavement to a foreign despo-
tism."
In II Thess. 2:8-12 we are given
futher enslght into the evil that devise. To those involved in this
is pregnant in the world. Paul dying world he will come with f
writes: "The lawless man is pro- evil's undiluted power to deceive,
duced by the spirit of evil and for they have refused to love the .
armed with all the force, won- truth which could have saved
ders and signs that falsehood can see CLAUDE on next page ^
