 We are satisfied that if Mir Thompson will sit down with seiners and packers and trap owners, cooperative orderly working plan could be devised and followed. No one wants to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. But the present hit or miss plan invites violations to be wnked at. The many should not be penazed by the action of few. The o-operation of the many would soon stop that practice.

HOT OIL

The 15-year-old rift between U. s. oil companies and Mexico may soon be healed. Quiet negotiations are in progress that may again open up Mexico's huge oil resour- ces to U. s. consumers. Both sides are giving every evidence of want ing to come to terms.
 The oil companies are frantic for new sources of supply, partic- ularly as handy as Mexico. The Mexican government, in dire fin ancial straits, is equally anxious for new revenues. But it has to tread delicately at home as the exap- propriation of the once Yankee owned oil properties is still cele- brated as a national holiday

THE LINCOLNS AND
PIGEON CREEK
CHURCH
BY Claude F. Beverly

Today (Thursday) Abraham
Lincoln's 10th birthday is being
observed in all civilized coun-
tries and he is honored as few
men have ever been. This and
that incident of his life is recall
ed, but curiously enough, there
is less mention of the little
church in Indiana that his faith
er, his step-mother and his only
sister belonged to and which he
attended often during the forma-
tive years of his life than to any
other event in his career. That
church was the Pigeon Creek
Hardshell Baptist Church
This church, with its continu-
Gus existence since 1916, has two
record books containing its re-
cords and minutes, the first COW
ering the period from 1916 to
1910. It is in this book that we
find Abraham Lincoln's father,
step-mother and only sister were
active members of the Pigeon
Creek Hardshell Baptist church.
This church was organized
with fifteen charter members
few months before the Lincoln
family located in Indiana.
Like many other early relig-
ious organizations, the meetings
of this group were held in the
homes of the people and it was
not until three years later that
final plans were made for build
ing a house of worship, which
was to $50 by rs feet, hewed
logs, feet in the under story
and above the joists.'' After
the plans were agreed upon and
the site selected, the house was
soon erected.
On June 7, 1923, Thomas Lin
coin, father of the future presi-
dent, was received into the
church by letter from the church
he had belonged to in Kentucky
and on the same day his wife,
Sarah, was received by expert
ence. On April 8, 1926, Lincoln's
sister, Sarah, was received into
the church "by experience of
grace"
Several ministers preached reg
ularly at the Pigeon Creek church
while the Lincolns resided in IN
diana, and two of them, Young
Lamar and Charles Harper, were

Grigsby and his step-sister, Ma
tilda Johnson, to Squire Hall.
Baptist associations were often
held at Pigen Creek Church. This
afforded Abraham Lincoln oppor
tunity to hear practically all of
the preachers of that association.
1t is certain that he often attend
ed and that there he formed the
habit that he followed through
out his life of speaking in par
ables and quoting the scriptures
in his speeches and writings.
At one of the associations at
Pigeon Creek, Elder jeremiah
Cash became greatly offended
and withdrew from the session,
because, ne Sa1Q:
"On Friday after the session
adjourned one of the body stated
in conversation with some per-
sons that he believed that t h
doctrine of predestination came
from hell and would go there
and all who preached it."
Thomas Lincoln, the father, be
came a prominent member Of
the Pigeon Creek Church. He
was one of its trustees, he was
appointed to interview members
of the church who had not OBJ
served proper discipline; he serv
ed as moderator at some meetings
and subscribed to funds for re-
pairing and improving the
church.
A few days before the Lincoln
family started to move to Illinois
Thomas Lincoln and wife asked
for and received letters from the
Pigeon Creek Church commend
them to any other Primitive Bap
fist church. But evidently they
did not find any Baptist church,
es in Illinois to their liking and
they never became members Of
any other church after leaving
Indiana.
Abraham Lincoln was reared
in the simple faith of the Hard
shell Baptist Church and t h
teachings of that church influenc
ed him more or less throughout
his life. In Illinois he spent the
first six years at New Salem
among a nest of infidels and free
thinkers who evidently influence
ed him for a time. When his lit
tie son died at Springfield in
1851, the pastor of the Presbyter
ian Church there officiated at
the funeral and Lincoln and his
wife were much impressed by
his brief sermon and thereafter
they attended his church regular
ly. While president, he attended
church as often as possible but
he never became a member Of
any church, and, so far as his
intimate associates knew, he

Johnston Urges Law
Requiring Arbitration
OF |nterunion Rows
BY the Associofed Press

Organized labor should be forced
to settle interunion arguments
peacefully, Eric Johnston, president
of the Motion Picture Association OF
America, said today.
He recommended a law to require
arbitration whenever rival unions
cannot agree otherwise on whose
members should do which work.
Such a law, he said, would be "an
antistrike vaccine to inoculate the
economic body against the disease

Chairman Kearns had reopened
the inquiry with a contention that
the movie makers and some of the

keep the strike going.
Mr.. Johnston said the difficulty
goes back to March, 1945, and has
continued with only one truce since.
That was a temporary settlement
reached in October, 1945. 1t lasted
about II months.
