Spring-time Beouty
Lessons Thoughts of
World Turmoil
BY Charles D. Rowe

The miracle of spring is again
under way in this happy land Of
ours. After a night of refreshing
sleep, we are greeted each morn
ing into a Joyous wakefulneSs by
the early sunrise anthem of count
less happy birds. AS we shake off
the drowsineSs of the nights sleep
and step outside to enjoy the mar
velous beauties all around one, we
are met by the bold and Saucy
robins who have taken up their
abode as our neighbOrs and who
are filching their meaty breakfast
from our lawn. Other feathered
friends fit back and forth through
the pine trees. We step out under
the apple trees to see how the bios
SONS are coming along and discover
that many have burst into full
bloom during the past "a hours.
Nature, while staging her spring
time miracle, most aSSuredly does
not maintain an 8-hour day. The
MOTTO denied urge to clothe the
earth again in beauty and fruit
fulness cannot be forestalled. Fun
24-hour shifts are working the
clock around.
The fresh, cool air of the morning
fills ones lungs with an invigorated
feeling of well-being The warm,
bright sunshine is clothing every
thing most beautifully We stand
and gaze at the nearby mountain
tops still clothed in their winters
mantle of white and on which the
mornings brilliant sunshine glitters
with a beauty that brings an al
ways satisfying feeling of delight.
Later in the day we drive along |
the highway following one of the
many routes leading into a verdant |
paradise-one of the many such
routes in this beautiful land |
The buds on the trees and bushes |
are just swelling into new life. Some !
of the leaves are venturing out for |
a feel of the warm air and sun
shine Trickling rivulets and |
larger streams come rushing down |
from the SHOWS and glaciers of the |
mountain-tops in their never-ending
search for the sea. They dash and i
trickle and murmur along beside
the highway singing a most delight
full song for the ears attuned to
their music. Frogs break forth in
their croaking chorus to join in ma
lures opera, through all of which
one hears the chirp and twitter of
birds.
A deer steps onto the highway
some distance ahead of our car and
slowly saunterS across and into the
nearby timber. All of the out-of-
doors is a delight. How glorious
is a beneficient mother nature and

COUNTERFEIT EXCUSES
OF all the excuses that one hears
from people who do not become
members of the Church, this one
perhaps is mentioned as often as
any other: Il won't join the Church
because there are so many hypo-
critics in it" Unhesitatingly we adj
NIT that there are some hypocrites
in the Church. But-and every
fair-minded person will agree to
this-they are by far in the minor
ity The majority who attend
church regularly are genuinely sin
cere.
Let's not fail to ask those who
condemn the whole Church on ac-
count of a few counterfeits whether
they are acting consistently. Are
they, for instance, condemning ma
trimony because some people have
made a failure of their marriage?
Are they openly declaring that
they will have nothing to do with
education because there are some
educated criminals in the world?
Do they refuse to have and use
money because there are some
counterfeit bills in circulation?
Moreover, are these critics of the |
Church actually looking for a per-
feet institution this side of eternity? |
The perfect Church is in heaven
and not upon earth. "The Church
is not a great exhibition hall for
the display of perfect Christians,
hut an educational institution for
the development OF. believers; it is
a school for the training of the i'm
perfect Christian toward that per-
lection which is to be found at
last above"
Confessing our weaknesses and
we must look to the
Church, the mouthpiece of our
blessed Redeemer and Teacher,
Jesus Christ, to guide and direct
IS on our journey to the abiding
ity above. That is the purpose for
which God gave men the Church.

Continuing he reminded us
that we have free education;
the needy are getting more
help than they ever had be-
fore; salaries are being increas
ed and he expressed the hope
that the Virgin Islands Com
pany will have more money
for a larger program. There is
one truth about all this that
we cannot get away from
they all cost more money and
that means spending more
money than ever before. He
told of the liberality of the Fee
deral government in doubling
the appropriations we former
ly received. However, the mon
les for increased salaries and
services must be paid for and
the money has to come from
somewhere. While the federal
government has been gener-
Gus we must do our part, he
said. We must make UP our
minds if we are going to have
these things the public must
give larger support for educa-
ton, welfare and hospitals.
The Government has to col
lect more money from the tax
payers. That is not a happy
prospect; no body likes to pay
taxes, including himself, the
Governor observed, but if we
are going to have all benefits
that the community must
have, then we have to pay.
Many complain if they have to
pay a few cents on the correct
value of their properties while
there really is no comparison
to other places where taxes
are placed on many more
items, he said in effect.
The people of the Virgin Is
lands have the freedom of POI
litical choice and action that is
the envy of the people all over
the earth, He then read an ex-
cerpt from an article written
, 1949-05-16

by a recent visitor which said
in part: THE people of the Virgin
Islands with complete freedom of
political organization are gra-
dually learning to lift politics
above the personal. His Ex-
cellency then observed that
sometimes he thinks we are
moving so slowly that you con
hardly notice it. This brought
a wave of laughter from the
audience and those on the plat
form. The purpose of politics,
he said, is to bring the best pos
sible service to the people, and
is bad when there is only in
should get the best possible
government we can; not on the
basis OF liking or disliking a
person.
We are bound to hear a lot
of talk about how things are
being run. We are not going to
take things because somebody
said so. He advised the people
to get the correct Information
always. There is no part of our
government that is run in Sec
ret. All the facts about finan-.
ces, health and hospitals, pub
lie works, welfare administra-
ton are all public information
that any person or group Of
persons can get. Let us be the
type of citizens who are will
ing and anxious to find out for
ourselves. In that way we can
protect ourselves. Let us take
a real interest in our Ameri-
can government. There should
always be criticism of Govern
ment, but constructive criti-
cism to build up and make
things better.
In conclusion he said, let
us be worthy of being Ameri-
cans. With all these privileges
and opportunities, let us all do
our part in a constructive way,
and let each other study what
he has done.
