Unitlfiih Death
On the southern slope of a hill
on furnace-hot Peleliu, two hospi-
tal corpsmen came upon a badly
wounded marine, a young South-
erner. They lifted him on a
stretcher and started toward the
beach through the machine-gun
fire that corpsmen often have to
brave to rescue fallen comrades.
One of the corpsmen dropped.
He had been shot between the
eyes. The other corpsman, Chief
Pharmacist’s Mate Reeder Park-
er of Lexington, Ala., told the
rest of the story to New York
Times-man George Horne:
The wounded marine . . . was
heart-broken: “I’m sorry he got
it trying to get me back. It’s no
use taking me because I’m dying
anyhow.”
The wounded man and the
young corpsman could go no far-
ther without help. Parker sat
down beside the marine, whose
life was ebbing. The marine pray-
ed for the man who had died for
him, and for Parker.
‘‘Take off my watch,” he told
Reeder Parker, “I want you to
give it to a friend of mine, a ma-
rine, too.” He painfully printed
on a white cigaret package the
name of a 7th Regiment private
first class. Then he gave Parker
his plastic cigaret case on which)
had been scratched some girls’
names and addresses — “really
good ones,” he said. Then he died.
‘‘He was the bravest man 1
ever saw,” said Corpsman Park-
er. ‘ He prayed for someone else
when he was dying.”

Educatlon without religion will
make America a pagan nation In a
generation or two. Even worldly-
minded educator* are concerned
about the neglect of and opposition
to Christianity in many branches of
our country’s educational system.
Christians will want to be In-
formed and to act as they have op-
portunity to bring Christian In-
fluence to bear on the education of
children. They will want to give
their hearty support to real Chris-
tian education.
I. Seek Wisdom from God (Matt.
7:7-11).
We have made great progress in
the improvement of educational
equipment, In the construction of
fine school buildings, and in the pro-
vision of trained teachers. There,
have been earnest efforts to de-'
velop the most effective courses of
study adapted to the needs of our
day.
All this is commendable—except
for one thiifg, and that is really a
foundational error. We have given
little, if any, attention to the de-
velopment of character, without
which the skills of hand and of head
may be actually dangerous. The-

WHAT ABOUT
RECONVERSION?
In front lines and fox

feating Germany and Eng-
land is busy arranging to
protect her interests in her

This nation should demand
all the Japanese mandated

We should see that China is

There’s plenty of talk
about reconversion h e r e,
which is as it should be, for
it is up to us at home to pro-

God can accomplish in a man's life.
To always be positively doing for
and to others what we would have
them do for us is far more than the
negative thing which most people
assume it to be. They reverse it and
are trying to avoid doing things to
others that they would not have done
to themselves.
Note again that this is on the posi-
tive and the active side. We are to
go about doing good, such as we
would desire for ourselves.

he will lead his equally blind pupil

Rural School Aid
President Roosevelt recently
called the first White House Con-

recommended a program of Fed-
eral aid for rural schools as nec-

manv communities. Any action
of Congress on this suggestion
will not interfere with State or

- Celebrates Birthday -
Mrs. J. D. Thomas entertained
for Anita Pat Killebrew, cele-
brating her sixth birthday Sun-

present were: Bobbie Thomas,
Barbara Jean Carrel!, Mickey
Wayne, Billie Lee, Johnnie
Mack, and Randy Bob Poteet;
Betty, Dorothy, Buddie, Nada,

After refreshments were serv-

many more happy birthdays.
colleges. No pupil will rise higher
than his teacher (v. 40).
Real education makes a man
humble. He is not ready to destroy
his brother’s eye because it has a
speck in it, (or he recognizes his
own weakness and sin. He needs the
grace o( God in his own life first;
then he is ready to give help to
others.
There is something fine about the
genuine sweet humility of a man
who is really educated. He is not
pompous and proud, parading his
learning so that the populace may
be impressed. He is humble and
teachable. Real scholarship calls for
genuine faith in God.
IV. Find Wisdom In Godliness
(Luke 6:43-45).
Every tree brings forth its own
kind of fruit. Christian character is
a fruit which grows only on the tree
of Christian doctrine. The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wis-
dom (Prov. 9:10). That means that
to be truly educated a man must
be a Christian.
That which is good and noble and
upright can be brought forth only
from a mind and heart of which
the same things are true. (v. 45).
An evil man will teach others evil,
a good man will teach them that
which Is good. Hence, the folly of
thinking that if a teacher only has
a bri’liant mind, and is versed In
the technical learning of his pro-
fession. it makes no difference what
his morals are nor how he lives.
That theory has brought ruin to
thousands of young lives, and it is
high time that all who have to do
with educational work demanded
godly character as the flrst requi-
site of the teacher and made it the
leading subject In the curriculum.
“The fear of the Lord is the begin-
ning of wisdom.”
