The Everyday
Counselor
Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. d.

While it is, generally known
that women who reach this age
pass through what is known as
''the change of life," it is not gen.
orally known nor recognized that
men have a similar experience.
Both involve a change in mental
and spiritual attitudes along with
certain physical symptoms which
produce functional disorders. If
uncorrected, the latter frequent
ly lead to serious illness, heart
attacks and often death itself.
Roughly speaking, the period
commences shortly after men and
women reach the peak of their
physical maturity, there comes a
leveling off, and then slowing
down or diminishing of physical
strength. 1t is a shock to many
people, when they come to this
realization. Many try to have
last fling at youth, have nervous
break-downs, develop alcohol
ism, or refuse to admit it, over
work the physical machine and
are knocked out with a heart at
tack.
A wise Providence permits these
physical warnings to come as
reminder that the best days of
life can be ahead for men and
women who cultivate the inner
life, and enter into the period of
creative achievement and spirit
ual growth.
The trouble with most middle
ayers is that they don't want to
let 60 of the old life, and take
hold of the new. They like the
life they have been living, and
want to keep it.
Physical illness which comes in
early middle age should be well
coined as needed warning.
These break-downs which con-
fine us to bed or take us out of
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-10-03

circulation are times for mental
and spiritual stock-taking. This
is the time when we should learn
to live Gin the presence Of God, /"
letting Him bear the nervous and
emotional strain of living, follow
ing His guidance, sharing the new
spiritual life with others.
Men and women coming to
middle age don't understand that
diminishing physical vigor should
be succeeded by mental and spir-
itual vigor. They have explored
most of the physical resources of
life. They are unsatisfied now,
and are looking for something
new. That new life, if it is found,
will be of the mind and soul.
Don't fight this change when it
comes. Welcome it, and there
will be many wonderful days and
years ahead.

that strip cropping should be done
right to do the best job of saving
the soil. Some people do not
have the strips of grass between
the plowed strips wide enough.
The grass strips should be as
wide or wider than the plowed

What comes our way Is very
pleasant in many cases. Last
week Rev. w. T. Wilmington paid
visit to this office. A former
pastor of the West Jefferson Bap-
fist church, Mr.. Wilmington has
thousands of friends here, as does
Mrs. Wilmington, and it is always
a pleasure to have them back on
visits.
We learned that Mr.. Whiting
ton has recently been named per-
sonnet director of the Lincoln
Manufacturing company. This is
large furniture industry and
employs several hundred men.
We understand that Mr.. Whiting
ton was named to this position
because of his exceptional abil-
ity to work with people and to
understand their problems. He
only has to spend a few hours
each day at this and it in no way
interferes with his church work.
AS a matter of fact, most of the
people he works with are men,
bers of his church, so this gives
him extra contact with them. He
was rather modest about the new
position, but we consider it quite
an honor that he has been nam
ed to this.

section.

Thermopolis, Wyoming, enclosing
a renewal for her subscription.
II can't tell you how much we
enjoy the paper. There are so
many things of interest in it that
our friends would never think to
write us about. But there is one
thing I always look forward to,
but have not seen it for some
time =. Ashe Gas :. How about
it? We plan to visit Ashe and
Grayson counties sometime in Oc-
tober. We still think of them as
among the leading counties in the
U. S. and look forward to seeing
our many friends there. l noticed
in the paper that you had frost
some time ago. We had our first
September p, but had two inches
of snow a few days ago, in the
loWlands, and there is plenty on
the mountains now"
Thanks, Mrs. Vannoy, for your
letter and the compliment con-
corning Ashe Gas. We will try
to keep it circulating.
Way Down East!
Mr.. and Mrs. r. G.. Carson, who
are regular summer residents of
Ashe county left this week for
their home in Whiteville, down in
the Eastern part of North Caro-
lima, amid much tobacco growing.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carson have
SO many friends here that it is al
ways a pleasure to welcome them
each spring and sad to see them
leave. They come along with the
first warm weather, like the rob-
bins, and stay until the summer
ends. Incidentally as soon as they
left this week, the cool weather
made its debut. l really believe

New Postwar Problems
Referring to the future of USO.
Mr.. Kimball says in his report: THE
successful conclusion of the war does
not, cannot, and will not return the
United States to its pre-War status. -.
1t is clear even now that armed
forces in the postwar period must be
numbered in the millions-and thus
present a totally different problem.
THE USO was formed to serve a
temporary purpose. IT neither seeks
nor shirkS any specific responsibility,
but the particular responsibility 1t did
assume in 1941 will have to be dis
charged by the end of 1947."
The report concludes with the
resolution of the Board of Directors:
"USO will complete its wartime,
rehabilitation and re~conversion
services December 81, 1947.
"In the meantime, the member
agencies of USO which will have
peace-time responsibilities in serving
the armed forces will appraise those
responsibilities in the light of the
future plans of our country for the
armed forces and, giving considera-
by USO, will determine in what
fashion those responsibilities can
best be discharged"

REPORT REVIEWS
S A OF SERVICE

Official announcement that USO
will conduct its own fund raising
campaign next September and Octo-
Der with a goal to cover minimum
service requirements through l947
was made by President Lindsey F.
Kimball at a USO Fifth Anniversary
luncheon held in New York, February
4th. Similar announcements were
made at anniversary ~luncheons in
other cities.
USO came into being on February
4, 1941, when six member agencies
Joined hands to create one organiza-
ton to care for the needs of the
men and ONE of the armed forces.
So far the American public has con-
tributed 200 million dollars.
At the New York luncheon the
speakers were Lieutenant General j.
Lawton Collins, Director of Informa-
ton of the War Department, and
Vice-Admiral Louis E. Denfeld, Chief
of Navy Personnel, who described
what USO had done in its five years
of operation and what it still must
do for the service men here and
abroad.
Gen. Eisenhower's Message
Gen. Dwight W. Eisenhower, Chief
of Staff, sent this message:
MAY / earnestly count on your
organization and your host of volun-
teers to stay with us through the dan
gerous and difficult period of tranSi-
ton to final peace?
1--WE still have a pressing need for
the services of USO and will be
deeply grateful for your continued
help in the future as in the past"
Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz,
Chief of Naval Operations, also sent
a message of congratulation.
Need for Fund Outlined
The need for raising a terminal
fund in the fall of 1916 is due to the
fact that the National War Fund
will finance USO only through 1916.
Tentative, purely tentative, plans
for 1947 call for the operation of
some 350-400 USO clubs in the con-
tinental United States, largely in
connection with hospitaliZed but con-
valescent veterans. Operation of sta
ton lounges for troopS-in-transit,
men on leave, and families of service
people must continue. Overseas clubs
will carry on in Alaska, Canal Zone,
Hawaii, Philippines, etc. Camp Shows
will still be seer and heard in 1947
by men in hospitals and men over
seas.
Coincident with the announcement
of the USO fall campaign, President
Kimball made public his annual re-
port, in which he says:
"USO finds that at its peak of activ-
ity, it was serving 100000 people a
day in n capacity or another, run

OUR GREAT INHERITANCE
By Rev M. S. Casio

TEXT: l Peter 1874. BLESSED be
the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, which according to his
abundant mercy hath begotten us
again unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead, to an inheritance incorrup-
ible, and undefled, and that fadeth
not away"
We have stopped short with the
text on account of space, but it is
so good it ought to have been quoted
in full. Easter is past with its note
of great certainty. But it's conse-
quences are not past. The text tells
US of wonderful things yet in the
future which follow upon the resur-
rection of our Lord. When every
thing seemed lost all was won. The
resurrection of Jesus Christ has
been called the Keystone in the arch
of Christianity. Peter goes far be-
yond the proof of the resurrection.
He assumes his hearers believe that
beyond any doubt. He points to a
hope beyond. He calls it an inherit
ance, and one that cannot be de-
stroyed by time, or rust, or theft.
Jesus Christ has purchased it for his
people at the awful cost of Calvary
The blow that sin and Satan struck
on the Son of God became the blow
of liberation for the sons of the race
if they will only appropriate it by
gospel means. But there is more
than liberation. There is inher-
itance.
Gods people do have an inher-
itance. Paul tells us that if we are
children, then we are heirs of God
and joint-heirs with Christ. See
Romans SIT. But what is this in
heritance? We think Of heaven and
we should. But more is meant than
as a place or state. Gods great de-
sign is that his people enjoy fellow
ship with Him and the Blessed Trim
ity, and the holy angels, and the re-
deemed of all ages. He would have
this relation to begin NOW. Our
God desires not only to get Us tc
heaven, but to put heaven in oul
souls here and now. The final issue
can come later.
The text speaks of the great Sc
curity of the title. "Kept by the
power of God" Omnipotence is be
hind this thing. If the believer will
abide in Christ then the fortune OF
Jesus is the fortune of the believer
There is a human condition in the
text. "Kept . through FAITH"
Faith is like the electric current. Il
must be constant through life. The
faith that saves and keeps US i!
something beyond intellectual as
sent. 1t is a personal, wiling, peni
tent investment in our Saviour
Jesus Christ. Dear reader, how /!
your title to this inheritance?
