Government in ANY Business
Endangers ALL Business/
Government in any business en-
dangers all business. Government in
business escapee many normal obli-
gations ... pays no taxes, little or no
interest, and spends .tax; money that
is needed for nortftal govcrnmeht
services. ,
The government is in the electric
power business now ami present plans
wi|i ptit It in the electric power bust*
*'■ ness -deeper... at the expense of the
taxpayer. If the government can make
"Snd sell electricity, it can do likewise
■. with shoes, groceries, automobiles, or
anything else you need, for everyday
Uvfaf>.
. Government regulation of private
business U the democratic way., .but
government competition with private
business is a ruinous idea taken from
the Socialistic doctrines of Europe.
Every nrftion that has followed the
Socialistic patterns has in time faded
into oblivion.
TP&L is a business-managed, in-
vestor-owned, tax-paying electric
service company adequately and eco-
nomically supplying, the electrical
needs Sf the area it serves without
government funds of any kind. *

kinds of things are against them.
We all do, more or less. When bad
leather sets in; when people won't
take our advice.; when, we see
trouble coming
and have no way
to stop it; when
we are alone in
the' midst of
strangers; when
we've been in jail
for two years;
when we are the
"low man on the
totem pole;"—we
feel these things Dr. Foreman
are against us. We seldom think of
them as open doors to opportunity.
Situation Out Of Hand
When we are riding the situa-
tion, so to speak, wheh we are in
the driver's seat and have every-
thiriy well in hand; twhen things
are happening because we ordered'
and arranged things that way;
then we sing that everything's
coming our way. But when 'the,
situation is not in hand, when..
thing about the situation is
either unexpected or unwanted am
nothing good can be said about it,
then we groan that everything Is
against us. Nothing is more de-
pressing than a, situation out of
hand. . "-'*■ >>' .
However, there was a remark-
able Christian whose story is told
in the book of Acts, who never
would Admit that everything was
against him. He always knew God
was for him, and that was the
maid point. Situations might get
out of hla .hands but not out of
God's hand. Consider Paul, one of'
a batch of prisoners aboard a
grain-ship on a grey November
day, . bound across the Mediter-
ranean to the empire's capital.
" When he stepped on board he
was already at the bottom of the
heap. He had been two years in jail,'
he was then actually shackled with
a chain, he was probably not in
g09d health, he had only one or
tvyo friends with him, the rest
wei^e all prisoners, soldiers and/
sailors, a pretty rough crowd for a
preacher. Not only that, but he
had giveij good advice (Don't sail,
the stormy season-is starting) but
had been turned down. Paul was
an old Mediterranean hand,' he
knew the weather signs. But no--
body paid - him any mind. Then
came the storm and the 'ship-
wreck. Read all about it in Acts.
It'was a narrow squeak. .
Little Man to Big Man
The point is, Paul never spent a
minute wishing he wer,e in a better
situation! He never put In a com-
plaint that all these things were
against him. He used the oppor-
tunity all these disasters gave him.,
But he did not use it for himself,
he used jt for others. To be sure,
he could not resist saying in effect
"I told you so." But he did not stop
with that. He became the most
useful anc^most resjffepted man on
the' ship. When they started he;
was just another prisoner, a little
man in every ■ sense; when the
crash came he was the big rrian.
For one thing, he brought courage
to the others by his own faith.
He talked language they cou^tl not
understand. Get something to eat;
he 3aid. And don't let anybody st'ea'
'he life-boat. — '■
Always A Witness j .
Paul did preach, though. He wn
not a man to let a chance go by.
He preached by his very attitude,
out lie also gave witness in words
He said just why It was that, he
.vas so confident. His faith was not
M hitiiseif nor in the. ship's cap-
tain, it was in God; Now it'is no
Views that men pray in hurricanes!
3ut it is news when men in hurri-
canes do hot pray mostly for them-
selves. There is a lovely touch in
what Paul said to the other seasick
men on the stormy deck. Tin
angel of his dream had said to him;
"(iod has granted yoll all thosi
who sail with you." Paul thinks of
his fellpw-pasiifctjgsrs^sven of tin
SQldterj who had him in charge
the crew, everybody—thinks o.
them as his own because God hat
"'lven- them to,him. A man.'Who
does hot ask special favors for
'himself, a man who, if he is going
to be saved, wants others to be
rescued with him—a man like that
will get a hearing when he speaks
a good word for the God to whom
he belongs and whom hit serves.
