PRAYER. AND RELIGION

To the Editor:
We are in the holy season of Lent.
Let us do little inventory work on
our stock in religion.
Would we want passing tourist
to remark anything else about our
town but that it is a Christian city?
Certainly we would resent a remark
that we are pagan town, an infidel
town, or even a town of religious
skeptics. Your churches here would
be a monumental warning to him
to make none of these three charges.
We honestly claim to be a Christian
town Very well, so far.
But, suppose our tourist friend
asked for that evidence in your prac-
teal daily life which could show
that you are follower of Christ,
could you tell him honestly that you
l<neel daily to say even one prayer?
If you never pray, your utilization
with a church might be looked upon
as attachment to that church's phil
osophy of life. It might be inter
preted as a contact with social or
business groups. But it would not
prove that you practice religion
The first step in the formation of

any friendship is conversation. Con-
out prayer, you are very presumptu-
Gus to suppose that you have any re-
ligion.
Religion, in its objective sense, is
a divinely appointed connection be-
tween man and his God; in it's sub
jective sense, it is the voluntary &C
ceptance of the conditions of this
connection"
The word religion, from the Latin
religare, means to "bind again." We
are already bound to the Creator by
our very birth. Religion is the vol
untary bond which we ourselves
form. Religion makes life bi-late-
raj contract with God. He is bound
to us, and we are bound to Him. It
is love returned; ,ucns
l The Latin word .religiosus, or religi-
.ous, is translated in the dictionaries
as meaning "devout, pious, fervent."
Without prayer, our religion would
be a parade. It is only by prayer
that any one cam grow !. familiar
with Gods will and Gods ways. BY
prayer, conscience is nourished and
made to be our clear guide. If we
do not daily kneel, for at least a few
moments, to thank and to worship
God, what wouldAmark us on such
a day as Christian?
Are we ashamed to be seen pray
ing? Much rather. would 1 be ash

Fame usually is 80 per cent luck,
and no notable reputation provides
more substantiation of this than that
of John Charles Fremont, who reach
ed Suffers Fort, California. "a years
ago today with an Army detail, com

route from the Missouri River to the
Pacific. The expedition has given
him an enduring place in histories as
a great pioneer, for over this trail
settlers were to stream to Ell Dorado
and the West was to he won.
Fremont was thrust into the role
of explorer because Senator Thomas
Eenton of Missouri resented the
young army lieutenant's attentions to
the senator's n5-yearold daughter
Jessie.
Benton used his influence to have
Fremont ordered away from Wash

However, before Fremont got his
second assignment, he had returned
to Washington and married Jessie
Benton secretly. She travelled with
him as far as ST. Louis and took up
residence there to wait his return.
A few days after his departure from
Kansas City to condition horses. for
the long westward trek a message
came for him from the War Depart

DELAY OF CHECKS

10 the EOlCOr:
- What is going to become Of the
people of North Carolina? We had
to fight the English to get from un-
der Bondage and it looks like we are
going to do the same thing now. The
politicians are running everything.
You can't even get an unemployment
check unless you get your senator or
congressman to get it for you. I have
been registered ever since 1-17-38 and
have never received anything yet, and
some have been registered 10 weeks
and have not got nothing. Others
registered 1878 and have received
two checks Also some others reg
istered one week later and have re-
ceived ohecks-why did they receive
theirs? Politics; that's why. Also
Rockenham got theirs. Why? More
politics. 1 think when our state gets
so low that you can't get what is
yours without your Congressman,
think we should give North Carolina
to Russia or Germany. Because you
can't get what belongs to- you. We
have a good bunch of office people
in Henderson. They will help every
way they can. The trouble is with

exulted that since October, 255 planes
had flown into Germany, on 38 raids,
and dropped a total of $4,000 pounds

Germany reverberated with the

during an argument in the Reichstag,
read excerpts from a secret commun-
ication sent to the AustrO-Hungari
government by Chancellor Michaelis
outlining German plans for annexa-

Haase cited this as proof that the

heed to the Reichstag majority resc-

without annexations or indemnities,
