LIGHT SHALL
TRIUMPH
by
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

Many thousands of years ago a
man sat at the door of his noun
tain cave. He was weighed down
heavily by the deepest of thought.
He was wrestling with the prob
lem of evil. The struggle was so
intense that it seemed to him that
evil took on a human shape and
became a personality. The sever
ity of the struggle resulted in a
conviction that all trouble and suf-
fering is the work of a malignant
spirit.
However, in an outburst of pro-
phetic hope, this ancient thinker
declared: "The great demon of
darkness will be conqueded by the
God of Light"
With this deep conviction this
thinker, zoroaster, who lived 600
years before the birth of Christ,
went forth preaching vigorously
that the time would come when the
god of darkness wouldbecompletely
vanquished by the God of Light
and Truth.
The religion which he developed
spread throughout the empire of
the Swedes and Persians. 1t was
here during the Captivity that the
Jews became influenced by its the
ology and have handed on down to
us through the time of Christ the
symbolism which st. Matthew uses
as he quotes an Old Testament
passage: "The people which sat in
darkness saw great light"
Jesus Himself used the same
symbolism when He exclaimed: "I
am the light of the world. And
again when, at the return of the
Seventy, rejoicing in their success,
He exclaimed: 81 beheld Satan
fallen as Tightening from heaven. y
That light shall triumph over
darkness, the right shall triumph
over evil, that God shall be victor
iou.s owe rSatan is the faith of the
ages.
If the powers of darkness are at
tacking you, if evil is making in
roads into your life, if Satan seems
to have the upper hand, do not be-
come discouraged. Heize the faith

BACK M'COLLUM
FOR GOVERNOR
Continued from Page one)

Continued from Page one)
Mcdowell said that while he could
not speak for delegates of New
Castle County 81 know that the
sentiment of New Castle County
Democrats is unanimously in favor
of DR.. MacCollum."
Chairman Lauds MacCollum
John C. Hazard, Wilmington,
chairman of the State Democratic
Committee, announced that while
he, too, could not speak for the
delegates his opinion was that the
Democratic party would be doing
itself proud in nominating Dr.Mac-
Collum for Governor" The en-
dorsement of DR.. MacCollum was
proposed by Willard D. Boyce, Do
yer, Kent County chairman, The
motion for the endorsement was
presented by Willard S. Dickerson,
Camden, and seconded by Howard
E. Lynch, Jr., Dover. DR.. MacCol-
lum, who has served as lieutenant
governor since January, 1941, said
that it was with deep appreciation
that 1 accept the honor. I hardly
know how to express myself"
Further Party Cause
He assured the committeeman
that he would do anything to
further the Democratic cause and
would work to bring the party to-
gether as a unit. 81 recognize that
I can not speak for the delegates
yet to be selected" he said, "but 1
would like to point out that much
work can be done to the various
committees in behalf of the Demo-
cratic party. Any work that you
fail to do now will reflect in the
coming election. +,
Statewide Support
Mr.. Boyce predicted that the
nomination of DR.. MacCollum
would be the stimulant that the en-
tire party in the state needs. He
urged 100 per cent statewide sup
port. Mr.. Dickerson and Mr.Lynch
both made talks in praise of DR..
MacCollum. Former u. S. Senator
James H. Hughes, Dover, told the
group that everything you have
done has been gratifying to me.
You have made an excellent choice
in endorsing DR.. MacCollum."
Direct Primary System
The committee voted 26 to to
return to the direct primary sys-
tenn of selecting the county ticket.
Two years ago the county conven-
tion SYSTEM where candidates are
selected at county convention
meeting, was used. On the motion
of State Rep. Fred A. Bailey, Har-
rington the vote was made unan-
imous. Support was also pledged
by the group to Mr.. Hazard as
state chairman and Mr.. Boyce as
county chairman.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

DR.. Smithers has a fine specimen
of the Marshal Neil Rose. Fifty
Blooms have already been gather
ed from it, some of them as large
as saucers.
The Smyrna baseball club was
defeated by the Townsend nine by
a score of % to IL.
A little girl of one of our prom
inent citizens was taken into Jos.
B. Hunn's barber shop last week to
have her hair cut, probably for the
first time. 1t was rather a strange
sight for her to witness-the
scraping razor and dobbing brush.
So when she went home an inquiry
was made as to who cut her hair,
she remarked: 'Mr. HUM did it,
but the other man had somebody in
a chair with no hair on his head
and he was painting his nose."
The hosiery factory has been
shut down for several days for re-
pairs on the engine, the work being

VIM. Geo. Hill shipped refriger-
ator car of strawberries from Clay
ton onS aturday to Boston. This
was the first effort with berries,
but entiely successful, opening in
good condition Monday morning,
and selling at from 10 to Is cents
per quart, as to quality. The addi-
tional cost this way was only a
cent quart.
A report has been in circulation
that q body of an unknown person
was found in Blackbird campmeet-
ing woods, and buried without no
tifying Coroner Rothwell to hold
an inquest. The true story comes
out that the men on Mr.. Reynolds
farm, having ben annoyed hereto
fore by the disappearance of huck-
leberries from the swamp nearby,
had buried log and placed a foot
and head obard to it, to frighten
superstitious pickers of the vicin-
ity with the idea of ghosts if they
went after the berries.
The Rev. Thos. L. Poulson, D. D.,

CHILDREN'S DAY

Probably the most interesting
exercises ever given in the M. E,
Church were greeted by a large
audience. Walter w. Hynson gave
the Introductory address on "The
Day and the Program, Miss Mar
garet Robinson was the first speak
er, and her subject took up the
leading pillar of success-"Christly
Love-" A dialogue by Miss Hilda
Wells and Florence Taylor showed
the next pillar of success, "Aggres-
sive Work" This was followed by
an address by Miss Katie Beckett
on Social Reform" Two dialogues
came next, one by Cove Todd and
Gilbert Jones on Christian Equal
ity," and the other by four young
ladies, Lavinia Turner, Katie Will
son, Clara Hazel and Hettie Rich
ards.

Pan American Union

For twenty years the Pan American Union in Washington has conducted its famous Midsummer Concerts of Music of the Americas. The 1944 series was brought to a close in the beautiful ESpa- nado of the Union with concert by the United States Marine Band under the direction of It's able leader, Captain Will liam F. Santelmann. Miss Graziella Par raga, famous Cuban soloist, was de- lightful addition to the program.
 pr, L, s. Rowe has been Director Gen. eral of the Pan American Union for many years. Washington is fully aware that to him belongs full credit for making the wheels go round in times of peace and war.
 The Pan American Union is, in effect, a sort of League of Nations of the Vest ern Hemisphere-and a success. Around its conference table there are regular gatherings of the governing board, with Secretary of State Hull as chairman, and 19 Ambassadors from Central and South America cooperating. They are an ef- fective group in preserving permanent good will and friendship in the Western Hemisphere.
