simply turns on the light, or if a man
decides to purchase an automobile,
he simply jumps in and commences
to ride and enjoy himself. Therefore,
Jesus announced if man would find
happiness, then let him take up his
cross and follow Jesus. According
to the average man, religion is a ques-
tion of being regular in attendance
upon religious services, paying the
preacher, and being very busy about
getting ready to die and go to heaven,
but according to Jesus, religion or
the kingdom of heaven is an invisible
power in the heart of the individual,
which uplifts the individual and has
for it's object the making Of the earth
a better place to live in. According
to the Church, Jesus was the only son
of God, but according to Jesus, all
men are the sons Of God. Jesus was
very unfortunate in his biographers,
but it must be remembered that Mat
thew, Mark, Luke and John and Paul,
lived two thousand years ago. Jesus
established the fact that God loves all
men, whether good, bad or Indifferent,
and the strange thing about the
philosophy of Jesus is that it instant
ly proves itself to any man who will
accept it and live in accordance with
it's precepts.

HON. J. ]. CAhTfY
WRITES INTERESTINGLY

Editor of The Manning Times:
we hear so much during these days
OF misfortunes and financial difficult
ties, we seem to forget that there are
numerous reasons why all of us should
have thankful hearts and look for
I. ward, with JOY and courage, to better
days. 1t would be impossible for any
of us to enumerate the many reasons
why we should be glad that we have
day and generation, but for the en-
couragement of your readers, shall
undertake to summarize few of the
good reasons why every individual
should rejoice at the privilege of liv-
ing today, as follows, to wit:
1. All of us should be glad that
there is a God, that God is in his
heaven and in the earth, and that
all is well with the world. All races
of men have believed in God, there
never lived such person as an
atheist, although there have been
numerous liars, who claimed to be
atheists. 1t is delight to know that
there is a living God, because dead
God or sleeping God would be of lit
tie assistance TO the human race. 1t
that God is on his job every minute
of time, that all Of us can fall asleep
at night with the happy assurance
that God is holding the earth in the
hollow of his hand, that the crops and
flowers come and grow every year
and the rains and the sunshine nour-
/. ish them, because God is on the lob,
and it is not surprising that John
tMuir, who walked all over the Ameri-
can continent, should have found God
IN the very act of storing away coal
in the mountainous regions of the
West, for the benefit of future
generations.
Some of my friends seem to think,
because of the depreciation of the
boil Weevil, that God is dead, but they
forget the fine crops of corn, wheat,
oats, and other crops Of fruits and
vegetables of various kind, with which
God has blessed the human race dur
ing the present year. Furthermore,
God appears to have habit of put
ting the human race to the test and
fon its mettle, but the scientists have
discovered a specific remedy for dip
iberia, syphilis, yellow-fever and var
lous other ills, and the writer pre-
diets th.t before many months have
passed, method Of putting the boil
Wcevil out of business will have been
discovered, because God made the
South fit place for the growing of
cotton, and the population of the
world is increasing every day, and
more and more as the years 20 bv.

That's right, Johnny. Mr.. Baker
has given the men In Washington

reasons for going ahead and doing
The things that they know Mr., Baker
doesn't want. What seems TO be the
answer TO this change OF attitude re
garding the size OF the army is that
because millions Of voters went Ia

Mr.. Baker thinks we should have a
big army

about that?"

ABOUT tnhtT
You bet he did,, Jack. President
Harding carried forth the one great
thought that American industry must
be protected and that our first interest
Is to see that America prospers first.
The foreigner finds II entirely too easy
to sci Ibis goods In this country today.
Not only does 1t help destroy our self
reliance, as he said but Mr.. Harding
also pointed out that those who i'm
port goods into the United States
should be made to pay fair share OF
our costs Of government
zone Of the fine things President
Harding has said before and which he
repeated In his message to Congress
is that we must have less government
in business and more business in gov
ernment.' It Is not fair that business
should have to compete with the gov
eminent where all the risks for the
government are met by the public
Treasury. Better business methods In
our government are needed and with
the cabinet now in fine working order,
this will be accomplished.
81 don't believe any man in the
world would like to see some arrange
ment made. to do away with war any
more than would Warren G. Harding.
But he is big enough to see that no
such arrangement ca nbe made until
ZEAL peace is again in the world. He
also knows that we cannot cease to
protect ourselves to build navies and
keep our armies. unit There is no
longer any need to do so. Certainly
the present is no time to levae our
selves without protection.
"And something else. kiddes. 1t

millionaire to travel President Hard
ing urged in his message that railroad
fares be cut down, cutting the cost Of
running at the same time.
Remember this further thought
from his message, and then you must
run along to bed-'There is knowledge
Of the high cost of government today
and high cost of living Is inseparably
linked with the high cost Of govern
ment. There can be no complete cor
rection Of the high living cost until the
governments cost is notably reduced
If the men who ran our government
during the past eight years had
thought that way, living costs would
now be back to normal, but spending
wasting, throwing away was the first
thought. Saving and helping the peo-
pie to save by cutting down the cost
of running the government was the
last thought. Those days are past.
Not a superman, not dictator nor an
autocrat sits at the White House.
There is a real MAN there, who can
think and talk in the terms understood
by Tom, Dick and Harry, the average
American citizen. A man who can
play bali morning, noon and night for
American principles as they were
