God" Our life in the market places
OF work and wages, of contacts and
problems, is less than our faith and
loves and dreams and relationships.
Poll of public opinion have at
tanned a tremendous popularity, but
they seldom touch the real questions
at the heart of human life. The
answers to all of a souls question:
ings in a troubled time is simply,
Have faith in God." The daily
prayer of every believer, in this time
Of difficulty, should be Lord, in
crease our faith" For it is by faith
alone that we are strengthened to
meet the difficulties of this per-
picked and perplexing period.
Our lesson calls the roll of the
Old Testament heroes Of faith. They
were men who believed God, often
in spite of contrary evidence. The
record Of their faith is food for the
soul. This 18th chapter of Hebrews
is great stimulant to faith, for it
Is the narrative Of lives that tri-
umphed because they believed God.
Not by disputes about faith, but
by a study of the Bible, and its ap-
plication to ones own life, does faith
grow. Faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the Word of God"
Fatth-illed Christians are Bible
reading Christians.
Our author Of the Letter to the
Hebrews calls the roll of Old Testa-
ment heroes of faith. As we see
them pass before our eyes there
grows in our hearts the conviction
that we, too, should follow in their
train. A simple trust in the reality
Of Gods word wells up in our hearts.
Faith, simple, childlike faith, which,
born Of faith in God, reaches out to
faith in man and becomes the mas
ter motive of life. Character wins
strength and symmetry and sympa-
thy. According to your faith be 1t
unto you" As our lesson says,
Without faith it is impossible to
be well pleasing unto him; for he
that cometh to God must believe
that He is, and that He is a reward
er OF them that seek after Him"

American Legion
Will Operate
Recreation Center

American Legion Post No. 100
will assume the operation of the
Market Street Recreation Center
on December = under terms of the
lease to Recreation, Inc, it was
decided at a meeting of stock
holders at the center Tuesday
night.
The stockholders voted to ac-
cept the Legion's offer over a
proposal presented by the Young
Mems Christian Association of
Pascagoula, which also desired to
lease the building.
Under the terms set out in the
proposal, the Legion will oper-
ate the facilities and assume all
obligations of Recreation, Inc, in
GLIDING approximately $4,000 due
stockholders. The stockholders
will be paid in full within five
years, under the agreement, and
Indebtedness otherwise will be
paid Immediately.
The agreement was reached
subject to the approval of the
City of Pascagoula, which it is un-
derstood will be forthcoming.

center open to the public and to
carry on the complete recreation
program now underway. Stock
holders will be protected by a
deed of trust until the indebted
ness is retired.
1t was pointed out at the meet
ing that the Legion may be more
successful in the operation of the
center than Recreation, Inc, since
some taxes on the latter group
will be exempted with the center
under Legion operation.
The National Guard armory
will be housed in the building
and the City of Pascagoula, own
ers of the building, have agreed
to assist the National Guard in

night shortly after he was in
Jured when the truck he was rid

house trailer. Two negroes, John
l.. Bourne, 81, and Charles l..
Dawson, %, both employees of the
Afford and Crane Concrete Block
Company of Pascagoula, were
burned to death when they were
trapped in the twisted wreckage
of their truck after it collided
with the bus, according to State
Highway Patrolman w. G.. Gray.
Six passengers of the bus were
injured but only one, Mrs. Orillia
A. Kean of Los Angeles, Calf,
was admitted to the hospital. She
was still under treatment at the
Jackson County hospital for shock
and cuts and bruises late this
week. Others sustaining minor

the negroes were travelling toward
Mobile swung out into the high
way to pass another truck and
was unable to get back into the
proper highway lane before crash
ing into the right front of the
bus proceeding toward Pascagoula.
Scrap steel with which the dump
truck was loaded flew through
the windshield of the bus causing
most of the injuries suffered by
those in the bus, Officer Gray
said.
Gasoline from the truck tank
under the hood sprayed over the
machine and caught fire and
blazed over the cab where the
men were trapped. Indications
were, however, Patrolman Gray
said, that the two men were kill
ed instantly from the impact.
Their bodies were removed only
after workmen from Pascagoula
cut through the twisted metal
for two hours. The bodies were
taken to Fails Funeral home for
burial arrangements.
The second accident happened
Monday about 8 p m. when the
produce truck in which Mr.. Car
