The strike as far as anyone could
make out had nothing to do with
wages and work
ing conditions
but seemed to be
based tm the in-
ability of labor
and manage-
ment to sit at
the same table
without throw-
ing four letter
words at each
other Albert
Hanson presi
Billy Rom
dent of the textile company had
one meeting with Durt Murphy re-
cently elected head of the union
but after a few minutes of Invective
and tablethumping both men had
stomped out and from then on had
refused to talk to each other except
through local headlines And when
a national labor relations man had
offered his services as mediator
he had been told to peddle his pa-
pers elsewhere
v
TO A FEW insiders however
the animosity between Hanson and
Murphy was nothing new in ttjet
It had been going on since they wwre
kids in a village 60 miles north of
the mill town They had competed
for the same position on the school
baseball team Albert had gotten
it and pulled the pigtails of the
same Junior miss Burt had mar-
ried her And they had continued
to catanddog it during the years
when Hanson was fighting his way
The Fiction
Corner
EDEN CLIFFORD drew
YOUNG
rein and studied the broad val-
ley of the Hoosldc at his feet An
hour ago he had abandoned the
trail made by his predecessors on
their ride from Bennington to Al-
bany and skirted the western
shoulder of Mount Anthony If In
dians were wait
ing to ambush
h 1 m Eben felt
sure they would
choose the Hoo
slck It offered
a means of eicape should the mall
rider by any chance be accompa-
nied by an escort
Eben felt once more of the leather
pouch that wai tied behind the sad-
dle Contained therein was a dis-
patch of the utmost Importance for
Gen Newton at Albany Col Albee
of the Bennington garrison had
called Eben aside that morning
No one Is supposed to know
youre carrying the papers Eben
An escort would only excite suspi-
cion You must go alone There is
of course the possibility that Bon
ney the white renegade and his
Indian cutthroats have learned
what Im up to In any event If
youre attacked destroy the pa-
pers
He sat for a long time study-
ing the valley without moving
A curious sense of excitement
stirred his blood Without know-
ing why be sensed dinger A
minute later be glimpsed a
column of smoke rising from
the summit of a hill across the
valley
A signal flrel They had sighted
him Eben sucked In his breath
Well his chances of getting through
were pretty slim now There was
lie kept to the high ground
for aa hour watching the
smoke signal
only one ford In the Hooslck that
was accessible at this time of year
Theyd never let turn cross It The
sensible tiling to do was turn back
and insist upon an escort
A thin smile played across his
lips Sensible but not advisable
Eben explored the river for half
a mUe In both directions then
urged his mount Into the stream
WATER WAS ICY breathtaking

horses hgs went out from under

Dear Old Golden Rule Days
Help Resolve Labor Difficulty
By BlLLY ROSE
The following story was passed on to me by one of tho field
men of the national labor relations board Im running Jt not be-
cause Im jumblebrained enough to think it proves anything but
because Its an interesting yarn If you find any moral or message
in H well remember youre strictly on your own
In December of 1917 a strike was called in a textile plant In New
England fend when the picket lines first appeared everybody thought they
were only part of the usual bluff and bluster that went with contractre
newal time But as the days added up to weeks and the weeks to months
the townspeople began to worry
up from salesman to plant presi-
dent and Murphy was organizing
the workers
One day as the strike was go-
ing into its fourth month the
textile man got s not from old
schoolteacher Dear Albert it
read I havent seen you in al-
most 40 years and Vet appreciate
it if you would come by the
tchoolbouse at id Sincerely
Anne Peck
Hanson chuckled at the precise
schoolmarmlsh handwriting but he
remembered the old lady kindly
and so on Saturday he got up early
and drove the 60 miles to his home-
town
The schoolhouse looked much as
he remembered It and so did the
room Inside with Its neat rows of
desks But the thing that hit him
right In the nostalgia was the sight
of MissPeck herself still sitting
behind her desk on the raised plat-
form in front of the blackboard
Its been a long time Albert
she said
Not so long as I thought said
her old pupil Leta see Seems I
used to sit right over there
He walked to a desk near the
window and wedged his bulk into
the seat
Thats right said Miss Peck
Helen Brennon used to sit in front
of you and Burt Murphy had the
desk on your right Now just ex-
cuse me until X finish correcting

rying them rapidly down stream
Eben did all he could to help the
noble beast In Its fight to reach
the opposite shore He was begin-
ning to think he had underesti-
mated the strength of the current
when they struck a sandbar The
horse floundered nearly lost Its
footing then gripped hsrd and
held Eben breathed a sigh of re-
lief
AJttr momentary pause he
urged the beait toward the west
bank Ten feet from his goal
he drew rein sharply A loose
stone had come tumbling down
from the high bank Eben sat
very still his heart pounding
A feathered bonnet showed
above the embankment
He tried frantically to get his
mount toward the east bank but
the river sheared off there the
strength of the current was against
him The Indians Were running
along the bank howling and
screaming their triumph In an-
other moment hed be swept
against the high west bank and
theyd be upon him

difficulty of disgust
TOO hive sat at the Beautiful Gate
I Of the temple asking alms
Begging for paltry copper coins
To be tossed to my outStretched palms
Asking for little receiving less
A penny a stone a curse
When all the while at my waiting side
Was the wealth of the universe
The Beautiful Gate that would let me In-
To the house of the living God
The healing touch that would bid me rise
And leap on the earths bright sod
The power of prayer upon which to draw
For all of my vital need
For the garments of praise for my heaviness
And Bread upon which to feed

tile man he stopped smiling

structions Eben unwrapped the
leather mall pouch gripped It tight-
ly and flung himself from the hack
of the floundering horse Instantly
water swept over his bead He
swam as long and as far as he
could beneath the surface Then he
bobbed into view and a sense of
dismay sent his heart downward
He was within three feet of the
west bank A leering Indian was
reaching out toward him
Dimly as he went under again
Eben heard a chorus of wild shouts
He waa far below the spot
where the Indian had stood
but equally as close to the
bank To his amaxement there
were two soldiers standing
there yelling and gesticulating
One of them was Gen Newton
The sonnd of gunfire came
from uprlver
Thought you might have seen
their smoke signal and realized
they had sighted us Gen Newton
was saying Figured Bonney
would be up to something so I led
a detachment out to meet you
Eben sank to the ground It was
good to rest

your seat she said the class
will begin
Murphy to humor her sat down
next to Hanson
Things havent changed much
have they said Miss Feck pleas-
antly Youre still throwing spit-
balls at each other only now they
hurt a lot more than they used to
Do you remember how It was with
you two In the old days Most of
the time you were pretty good
friends but every now and then
youd get into an argument and
make so much ttolse that none of
the other pupils could do any work
And when you did Id Just stop
the class make you stand up and
tell you to go outside and not come-
back until you had straightened
things out Sometimes youd go out
in the woods and settle it with
your fists and other times youd go
down to the brook sit on the bank
and talk it out but youd always
come back smiling Stand up you
twoThe
The two men got to their feet and
walked out of the room
You heard what the teacher
said said the labor leader Do
we go into the woods and slug It
out
You always bad s Pretty good
left sold the textile boss How
about letting a conciliation board
settle our argument
Fair enough said Murphy
but I still want to play first base
All right If youll keep away
from Helen Brennon
Seeing as how shes my wlfe
fc
said Murphy thats going to be
tough But if youre still stuck on
the girl drop around tonight and
Ill get her to fry up an extra chop
Then the two men walked back
into the schoolhouse to report

Gospel Goes West
Lesion for Feburary 12 1950
YOU DONT BELIEVE In
SO
foreign missions Then you
cant read the New Testament with
any comfort Every book In H was
written either by a missionary i r
missionaries mission
about or to
arles or to be used in mission work I
Chapters 13 and 14
of Acts tell us
about the first or
tanlzed foreign
mission project in
the history of the
Christian church
It is the story of
how the Gospel
was taken out of
the narrow strip
of coastland along Dr Foreman
the eastern shore of the Mediter-
ranean where it was born out into
the western world
The Best They Had
rpHE FIRST missionary party
were not raw untried men
They were Barnabas and Saul the
FIUDAY FEPItUABY 10 1950
top leaders of Antioch These men i
had done a great work in Antioch j
their usefulness there was not at
an end by any means But the i
church sent them away to win
souls elsewhere It is a mistake to
suppose that just anybody will do
as a missionary
Irnorant people who suppose
that missionaries are only the
colls of the church dont
know the facts A few years
ago a scientist Ellsworth Hnnt
ugton made a study of the
graduates of Tale and Harvard
who were successful enough to
bo written up In Whos Who
In America lie found that
missionaries sons furnished the
largest proportion of those suc-
cessful men-
The reason for this be believed
Is that only In missionary families
do you find that both parents and
not Just one have to go through a
rigid sifting process Only the best
mentally morally physically
are accepted by the church today
as missionaries
Strategic Centers
CAUL or Paul who came rapid-
ly to the front In the mission-
ary team was all for efficiency
He never did a thing the hard way
If an easier way would save his en-
ergy So we find him heading tor
the great cnters of population
In the synagogues he would
find the most religions people
In theetty people who already
believed In the One God and
who took seriously the Law
and the Prophets
Barnabas and Saul stuck to cities
for another reason also Not that
they despised smalltown folk but
they knew that citles ore where the
crowds are For every dozen peo-
ple they could reach In a village
there were hundreds to be reached
In the cities So today mission
work has generally concentrated
first In the most heavily settled
regions
Tho FollowUp
CAUL AND BARNABAS also set
the example for later genera-
tions In their use of the follow
up They did not suppose that
simply converting people was
enough There had to be second
visits Some churches Paul vis-
ited as many as five times They
would appoint officers in every
church They knew that organized
religion Is more likely to last than
disorganized religion
They were not flybynight
evangelists tearing behind
them only an ebbing wave of
emotional excitement Every
rose grower knows that II I
better to put a 10cent rose In
a 60cent hole than to put a
SOcent rose Into a 10cent hole
So Paul did not stick little seed-
lings of new Christians Into barren
ground at random he took pains to
see that they were solidly planted
In good rosebeds
The Holy Spirit
rpHERE IS ANOTHER and most
Important way In which this
first missionary effort has set the
pace for all since From beginning
to end they depended on the Holy
Spirit It was the Spirit who first
suggested the Idea it was the
Spirit who gave the power and
furnished the guidance Not that
the Spirit was or Is a substitute
for human effirt
But to this very day If you
went to fnd persons who know
about the Holy Spirit at first
band who know what It means
to depend on the Spirit and a
bo need by Hun then get ao
Cjualnted with your church
missionaries

goers Is only i came to them la-
