Minister

All sorts OF names arc given to
ministers. Some call them Rev
erend, a title hanging over from
the Middle Ages and one that most
ministers, to tell the truth. would
just as soon not have Some call
them Preacher, and they do
preach; but few ministers preach
for more than two or three hours
out OF the 1853 hours in the week
A bigger word and better word
is just Minister" This is word
ST. Paul used about himself, and it
was not original with him. Our
Lord used it of himself. Our Eng
llsh language rather concealS the
fact that the word means "One
who serves. for in the Greek that
Paul used. the word serve" and
the word minister are almost
the same, Minister does not mean
servant in the cap-and- apron,
friedman sense Of the word 1t
does mean one who is Of service.
There IS one country minister in
North Carolina, much loved by
his people, who not only breaches
and cares for the souls Of his peo-
pie but who has shown them how
to raise strawberries better than
were ever grown in those parts be
fore. He spells Service in letters
that spread over all Of life.

Pastor

When all is said and done. how
ever. there is no finer word than
Pastor, and no higher work than
what he does. There simply is not
anywhere any institution except
the Christian church that has any
thing like the place and work OF
the pastor. An old-fa shioned name
for this is the cure OF souls" and
that never meant just the cure
Of sick souls. but also the care OF
souls 10 keep them from being
sick. Paul. when he was reviewing
his work in the church at Ephesus,
could have mentioned some OF the
startling and sensational events
which Luke mentions in chapter
10 Instead. Paul describes his
oun day-to-day. door-to door work
as pastor Of his people. To put II
as simply as possible. the pastor
brings God into the lives OF his
people. and brings his people TO
God While the minister may have
salary, as in most churches he
does. he can never be paid for
what he does as pastor. How can
we pay man IN money for COM
fort and warning and faith and
strength, that we would not have
known without his help?

In addition, the 1854 Dodge VS.
fOur-dOOr sedan, on a 48-hOur en-
durance run, achieved lap speeds
of better than 107 miles per hour,
and for the entire run averaged
better than 101 miles per hour in

Tests for the 1854 Dodge VS.
were conducted in both the AAA's
open and closer car competition,
and were run on a 14-mile straight

conditions.
"These tests" said Newberg,
were the most strenuous of this
type ever given a new model be-
fore its introduction to the public"
In tests for both speed and ac-
celeratiOn on the stTaightaway, the
two 1854 Dodge V-Ss swept up
every single record in their class
and even established new marks
in other competitive classes as
well.
The two 1854 Dodge cars parti-

off the final assembly line at

by AAA Contest Board officials,
and remained under constant AAA
supervision until the tests on the
Bonneville Salt Flats were COM

The entire project was under the
supervision of A. G. Pllsbury,

the AAA. Representing Dodge was
Wally Zierer, engineer in charge
of the project.

Dodge Fastest Standard
American Automobile

Travelling at 1886 miles per
hour over the straightaway track
at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, in
tests held under supervision of
the American Automobile AssOcia-
ton Contest Board, a 1854 Dodge
Wis became the fastest standard
American car ever clOcked by AAA
officials.
Along with other speed marks,
w. G. Newberg, Dodge president,
announced in Detroit that the 1854
Dodge VS. has chalked up a total
of 1876 new AAA stock car records,
more than any American stock car
ever held before.
Challenging AAA competition for
automobiles with 1873 to 305 cubic
inch engine displacement (Which
takes in a majority of U. S.-made
cars), a Dodge fOur-dOOr and con-
vertible, said Newberg, proved
themselves unquestioned perform
ance champions"
Records falling to the two Dodge
V-8s ran from one kilOmeter to
over 1000 miles. Both cars were
run on regular gasoline and ori-
ginal equipment tires.
The 1854 Dodge VS. convertible,
equipped with POwerFlite, a new
fully-automatic transmission, ran
full-thrOttle continuously over
72-hOur period, AAA records show

First of three articles on Holly
woods new-dimensicnal revolution.
HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 8 1.-THE
movie industry is suffering the
pangs of the second revolution In
its 50 years of existence.
Twenty five years ago, the
apathy of the movie-going public
forced film makers to add sound
to the silent screen.
Today the gigantic rise of tele.
vision in public favor has forced
the same men to bring new dimen-
sions to the movies.
New dimensional films have
swept Hollywood like a prairie
fire. Announcements of industry
shaking import are being made
every day.
Rash predictions are being
made. Some foresee that the pres
ent fiat screen viii soon be dead.
Others say that the Sd novelty
will wear off, and 1at screens viii
prevail. Still others predict both
styles.
There Is strong feeling that
the new film methods should be
standardized. But the companies
are already battling over which
