GOOD ADVICE
(THE ELKIN TRIBUNE)

In Judge Rousseau's charge
to the grand jury last week he
declared that approximately
nine-tenths of the cases brought
before the courts of the land
have liquor as one of their con-
tributing causes. He also point
ed out that it is the duty of
parents to provide wholesome
home environment for their
children as a factor in impress
ing them with the Importance
of good citizenship.
These brief official chats by
superior court judges are usu-
ally freighted with significant
advice that ought to have a
wider audience than the jurors
and the court room habitues.
Although young in years and
young in service, Judge Rous-
Seau has seen enough of the ILL
effects of liquor to be able to
speak advisedly, and doubtless
he is right in saying that whis-
ky runs money a close second
in being the root of all evil.
Whether it causes nine-tenths
or even less of the crimes
against the law, liquor is bad
thing to fool with, even by
those who claim they can han
die it like man. Certainly if
it is brought into the homes by
parents, or allowed there with
out parental protest, heads of
families may not reasonably
expect other than that their
offspring will sooner or later
have a run-in with the courts.
And if the church and the
home fails then it is up to the
courts to do the impressing-
and sad to relate they do not
always measure up.
AS to home environment it is
not enough to argue that many
black sheep come from homes
that are scruplously clean NOR
ally. BY the law of average it
can be definitely proved that
home training helps to chart
the destiny of the child, one
way or the other. Parents who
would have their children be-
come law-abiding and depend
able citizens, must by precept
and example, point the way by
moral straightness and respect
for the little things in the law,
that so many of us are inclined
to disregard as unessential.
We are living in a changed
and changing era; the family
altar is know only by hearsay;
parental authority is not invok-
ed as it once was; the where
abouts of children of the run
about age is mere guess work;
family ties do not bind and as
consequence of these things the
future of the men and women
Of tomorrow is largely a gam

The Republic of Panama has
notified a New York bank that
it'll have to be excused for the
time being from paying some
money that it owes. One of the
difficulties that faces an organi-
cation of public international
scope, such as the League OF
Nations or the World Court, is
to find a common bond that will
hold it together. Indebtedness
to the United States should be
a tie strong enough to answer
the purpose since the majority
of the leading nations can quail
fly to those conditions. And now
it seems that Panama has quail
fed. It is usually the custom for
the butcher, the baker, and the
candle-stick maker to turn a
CLASSY eye on the local dead
beat, but such custom is provin-
cial and not international. It is
becoming internationally the
custom to establish a new Or
der of the Golden Fleece, and
confer honors on anyone able
to fleece Uncle Sam.

 Adam and Fallen Man" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon.
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 15:1,2: Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteous ness, an speaketh the truth in his heart"
 Selections from the Bible include the following from II Timothy 3: 16, IT: "All scripture is given by in- spiration of God, and is profitable for reproof, for correction, for in- struction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works"
 Readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following citation from page 548, line 2: Christian Science separates error from truth, and breathes through the sacred pages the spir- itual sense of life, substance, and intelligence. In this Science we discover man in the image and likeness of God. We see that man has never lost his spiritual estate and his eternal harmony"

TOO many DuSlneSS men are 1n- clined to think of the Bible as an lninteresting piece of literature, read only by the clergy and carried around as a subterfuge by the stu- dent of righteousness. Let us brief ly look into the backgrounds of the Bible. It portrays historically the development of Christianity. The Bible was finally assembled from material written over a period of 1,500 years, during which time much of it was passed along by word of mouth, and then for long interim, stretching from generation to gen. eration, 1t was recopied by hand.
 It can readily be seen then by business men that, although they are troubled by the supposed con- tradictions occurring in the Bible, yet these occur only as amatter of transition through the centuries. I feel that the Bible would be even more helpful to business men if 1t was frankly explained in this way. Give a business men the facts and AS WA4 uO tAlc HE LII ulB.
 Stands Test of Time
 When I read the Bible I try to keep constantly in mind that the words were written two or three thousand years ago and have stood the test of time as no other words ever written. This very fact is of great importance, therefore, when appealing to business men never say Read the Bible because it is true," but rather I say "Its teach ings are true because they have stood the test of time"
 The one real test of truth is its duration. The fact that the teach ings of the Bible have survived is what will attract thinking business men. My 30 years of business expe- rience has taught me that the Bible helps me more if I do not place a literal interpretation on 1t. This

Marked Gains Shown
 In Retail Business
C. of C. Survey on Employment Conditions Improved
 Substantiated By Gratifying Trade Reports

With business already having im- proved substantially during the early fan and with yesterdays news through the Chamber of Commerce. survey that employment showed more marked gains here during October, Waterbury's retail mer- chants are convinced that the Christmas business for 1935 will reac! a new high for the years since 1928. With approximately 5000 more persons at work here than there were in August, the ef- fleets of the additional money have already been felt, and merchants believe that they will be felt even more through the rest of Novenl- Der and the month of December.
 One group of business men whose sales at this time of the year are ordinarily fair expect heavy trade during the last fall and early win- ter, These are the automobile deelers who expect to set new sales marks for this time of year due to the fact that almost all manufac- turers have already placed their 1886 models on the market. With the new cars available early, and with industrial conditions here greatly improved, those in the auto- mobile business dealers feel that they have real reasons for awaiting the near future with confidence.

0. In view of present move ment for prayers for peace, please give a Catholic, Jewish and Protestant prayer for peace.
 A. A Catholic prayer for peace, as supplied by the Internation- al Catholic Truth Society, follows:
 Q God, from whom are holy desires, right counsels, and just works, give to thy servants that peace which the world cannot give: that our hearts may be disposed to obey thy command ments, and the fear of enemies being removed. our times, by thy protection, may be peaceful. Amen"
 A Jewish prayer, taken from the Union Prayer Book of the Central Conference of Amer ican Rabbis, is as follows:
 Grant us peace, Thy most precious gift, o Thou eternal source of peace, and enable Is- rael to be a messenger of peace unto the peoples of the earth. Bless our country that it may be a stronghold of peace, and the advocate of peace in the councils of nations. May con- tentment reign within tis bor- ders, health and happiness within its homes. Strengthen the bonds of friendship and fellowship between all the in- habitants of our land. Plant virtue in every soul, and may the love of Thy name hallow every home and every heart. Praised be Thou, O Lord, Giver of peace"
 A protestant prayer from the Department of International Justice and Goodwill of the Federal Council of Churches follows:
 70 Lord. break thou the spell of the entertainments that make the nations drunk with the lust of battle and draw them on as willing tools of death. Grant us a quiet and steadfast mind when our own nation clamors for vengeance or aggression. Strengthen our sense Of justice and our regard for the equal worth of other peoples and races. Grant to the rulers of nations faith in

Weekly Sunday School Lesson Ezekiel Teaches Responsibility

given him to declare to Israel. It was a message concerning Gods mercy, his yearning that men should turn from their evil ways. But it was, also, clear message that judgment was sure to fall ii the people persisted in the way of wickedness. Even the righteousness of a man could not save him if he lapsed into weakness and error.
 For those who were living sin course open--to turn from their sin and seek the way of righteousness, to make restitution of what had been wrongfully taken, to turn from iniquity to decency and right. This alone was the way of truth and safety.
 Have things changed since the days when Ezekiel uttered his pro- phecies? Is personal. responsibility any less acute, or can the nation enjoy wholesome health and safety while its individual citizens pursue ways of selflshneSs and dishonesty? We should not forget as we lay emphasis upon individual responsi- bility, that it is exercised in social world and in social relationships. When someone said to General Will liam Booth of the Salvation Army that you could not boil a kettle of water without boiling every drop. General Booths wise reply was that you do not boil every drop separate ly.
 That is very real parable of the individual in his social rela- tions. We ned mass movements, we need mass influences of righteous ness and truth, but we need along with them the influencing of indi- viduals and the decisions of indi- vidualS for the right.

type of interpretation is followed by many of the biggest business men of the country.
 The history of American business shows many incidents where lead- CTS of industry and finance whose lives and business practices were influenced by the, use of the Bible. I have found that business men, on the whole, are religious. A survey shows that large numbers read the Scriptures. The bigger the business man, the more religious he is. The business man needs no coaxing to be religious, and if you present the Bible to him in the proper manner he will read 1t.
 Notes Influence Everywhere
 The influence of the Bible is everywhere; it has crept into our language; it has crept into our lit- erature; and 1t has crept into the very life of the people. We might just as well try to take the brain out of men as to hope to eradicate the influence of the Bible from our business life.
 Let me say right here that a larger use of the Bible by business men of today will contribute a steadying quality to business life. We should profit by the experience of previous generations. The best record of the religious experiences of our race is found in the Old and New Testament. Moreover, although other races have their Holy Books, the Old Testament of the Hebrews is the one which best presents re- ligion with one Coda Spirit who is to be worshipped in spirit and in truth; while the New Testament is the gest presentation of the teach ings of Jesus of Nazareth and his immediate followers. Other fine books have been written but none have stood the test of time. This is why I urge business men to read the Bible.

 Factory heads likewise feel that business will contiue on the up- grade for their firms. Most of them feel that the present movement is a steady advance and not Q boom like those of the pre-29 period. Orders are coming in steadily to local firms, and all the major plants are extremely busy.
