On a Higher Plane


Then to put the matter on high
er plane. 1t is service for others,
the noblest service man can perform;
the ready and willing giving 81
portion Of our possessions that the
suffering of others may be alleviated
We may never need the services Of
hospital personally, but the knowI-
edge that we are helping in some
small way to allay the pains OF some
sick or suffering member of our com
munity will bring joy to our hearts.
Each and every creed can combine ON
this platform; the Master Whom we
all acknowledge set us an example in
His human life Of care for the sick
and suffering, and TO those who fol-
low this His example He says; "ln-
asmuch ms We have done it unto these,
my least brethren, We have done it
unto Me- Our life will be summed
up, not by what we profess and be-
lieve, but by what fruits that profess
sion and belief has produced; not by
what we say and preach, but by what
we do, for 81 was sick, and We visited
Me"
still the weary sick and dying
Need brothers, sisters, care;
On His higher life relying
May we now their burden share,
Bringing all our offerings meet,
Suppliant at His mercy seat.
so may sickness, sin and sadness,
To His healing virtue yield,
Till the sick and sad, in gladness,
Rescued ransomed, cleansed,
healed,
One in Him together meet,
Pardoned at His Judgment seat.

cided by the voters, a difference as
to the safest and best way to finance

mating facts and correcting errors.
with view to placing the issues be-
fore the people on IA basis of sound
business. free from consideration of
private interests or pride of precon-

doubt that there is rapidly growing
opposition to the policy of piling up
a huge debt on the state for road
construction in the face of positive
demonstration by the Governor Of
Virginia, corroborated by the auditor
ny the state highway commission and
the state accountant. that all the
work proposed and urged by the bond
advocates can be done within q period
OF only three years longer than that
