DAILY BIBLE QUOTATION

will put enmity the
thy seed and her seed and shall bruise
shalt bruse her heel" 35
The Bible quotations for this month are sug-
gested by the Rev. Edmund Berkeley rector of the
All Saints Episcopal Church in Roanoke Rapids.
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-12-31

ELIGIBLE Believe it or not.
but as the political year of 1913
Wanes, it begins to look as if
three worn-out Republican pre-
sldential candidates will be do
ing business at the same old con-
vention stand in 1852. AS you
might guess, they are Governor
Dewey of New York, Senator
Taft of Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA
University President Harold E.
Stassen of Minnesota.
This prediction is not a shot
ln-the-dark guess. BY their ac-
tions and by their conversations
with friends, all three figure that
they are still eligible for partv
standardbearer. And, as Mr..
Dewey thought last month, the
1852 nominee ought to be a sure
winner. They Just do not be-
lieve that the Democrats lucky
streak will last that long.
And whom do you think far
sighted Democrats are grooming
provided President Truman does
not run again? It's Ike" Els
enhower, and he is the COPS
biggest headache, assuming, of
course, that he decides that he
is Democrat.

In sad and loving memory of our
dear son and brother, Woodrow w.
who went to live with Jesus January
1, 1897.
Just line of sweet remembrance
Just a memory fond and true.
Just token of life's devotion
That our hearts still long for you
A happy home we once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still
But death left a lonliness
This world can never fill.
Sweet memories will linger forever,
Time cannot change them, tbs true.
Years that come cannot sever
Our loving remembrance of you.
To your graVeside we often wander
And picture your face so dear,
In silence we stand in sorrow
For the one we loved so dear.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by
Mother. Father. Sisters and Brothers.
