We are too quick to Jump to conclusions,
too prone to be influenced by someone $
opinion, too lazy to do our own thinking.
Whether the problem at hand is one of
international scope, statewide, or affects
only our own community, the formation of
an opinion requires thought. Not only
thought but factual information. Gather
the facts first write them on paper, study
them, place in relation to their Importance.
Then consider them from your point of
view. Don't decide vet Put Yourself in the
position Of person holding a contrary
point of view. Then think carefully, form
your own opinion, and think twice before
you express it.
There are two sides to every question,
your side and the contrary side Some peo-
pie believe there are three sides the right
side, the wrong side and their side But
there are at least two sides and in order to
reach sound, we'll considered opinion both
sides must be thought through
Many problems can be settled honor
ably and satisfactorily, by the simple pro
cess of orderly thinking
Having formed your opinion, remember
that no one is correct every time. Listen to
others, give them the right TO the contrary
opinion Just as you demand your right to
express yours. Listen to them, and don't
get mad because they do not agree Often
somewhere between the two opinions is a
workable solution.
Do your own thinking and stand for
your conclusions until YOU are proven
wrong, but whatever YOU do, "THINK!"
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1954-02-26

number OF Americans driving cars, and
the number Of cars on the highway, con
Stantly Increases. The brightest hope in
this direction is the fact that similar CON
ferences, held in 1916 and 1850 produced
concrete results in the states which fol-
lowed the recommendations made.
The goal Of this years White House
conference is for a forty per cent improve
ment IN the nationwide highway death and
casualty toll Ii this goal could be achiey-
ed, II would mean that on January 1st.
l3o3, 10000 people would be alive who.
otherwise, would have died in highway ac-
cldentS. 1t would mean that half million
mad been spared from injuries. and 10000
kept from being permanently manned.
The success of the White House confer
cncc on highway safety Will depend upon
the cooperation Of local communities in fol-
lowing recommendations made Public Of
flclAIS and all safety organizations are
urged to follow these recommendations and
give the conference its solid support in The
effort to reduce highway deaths and cas-
ualtics

The Church for All

a common sight, and sad
sight ZOO, is class church" It
doesn't make any difference what
class it may be; it may be en-
tirely Of country people, or en-
tirely of city people; it can be
made up Of high-brows or the I'M
educated; il is class church if
the people in it just don't want
to have others in it whose cir
cumStanceS arc different from
theirs. II all men are lost and Il
God desire is that all shall be
saved, no church should be more
exclusive than God is. God does
not draw color lines or class lines
or money lines. The ideal church.
the one that reflects the facts Of
Christ's love and the calling OF
God, IS one in which no human
being who loves the Lord Jesus
and gives his heart to him. can
feel strange or out Of place. There
is no use saying, we only want
our kind Of people, if Christ lived
and died fer AL people. For that
means all kinds Of people

General Sales Tax

TRENDS in the General Assembly are
toward a general state sales* tax. Per-
missive legislation sought by several coun-
ties has been postponed for the time being
and the shift appears to be towards state
wide tax
The Legislature is faced with providing
more funds to meet increasing demands
for state-supported colleges, schools, hos
pitfalls, and mental institutions The Byrd
tax refund bill places ceiling on the
amount Of tax to be taken by income eves,
so that a general sales tax appears to be
the manner in which more revenue can be
had.
Should general sales tax De enacted
portion Of the revenue should be returned
to the counties, towns and cities Under
the tax segregation system of Virginia the
State levies taxes on intangibes. leaving
the counties and municipalities real proper

IN BOMBAY, India there is one
L OF the most exclusive religions
in the world, the religion Of the
Parsees. There are more Baptists
in Georgia alone than there are
Parsees in the whole world. II
you aren't Parsee born you can
never get in. Even if you marry
a Parsee it does you no good;
you are an outsider the rest OF
your life. That is precisely the
opposite OF the Christian religion.

is considered slow or uncertain-on the
contrary, a moment in thought produces an

moments spent in silent meditation, will
clear the way for thought processes to get
into action, and at least one step has been
taken towards its solution Future steps
can be taken in a more logical order

monty made. which need clearing
up One is that because God wants
all men to be saved, he is going
to save everybody regardless Now
if all we knew Of the New Tesla

sheep, we might suppose God
would work it that way and bring
all people to his eternal home re-
gardless Of hoW they felt about
it, as shepherd does with his
sheep or a coWhand with his little

show us that God deals with us
as free men Heaven is not a sack

and the name Of the door is Jesus

door 10 the Christian life He is
the only door TO the kingdom Of
God. If We wish to belong TO God s

from Christ, we must come TO

Frs safety conference this month is
an effort to develop nationwide support
at the community level, for proven meth
DDS Of attaining street and highway safety
In view of the fact that traffic fatali-
ties in 1853 affected between 80 900 and
10000 persons, the conference is a project
which certainly should be undertaken. If
the number of persons injured i'll automo-
bile accidents each year could be sliced in
half, ii would increase the nations wealth
considerably, since we'll over a million
Americans are injured in automobile ac-
cidentS every year.
The economic loss suffered each year,
as result of these accidents. reaches the
staggering total of almost $1,000 900 900.
The idea of a highway safety confer
ence originated last summer. when the
President asked several businessmen to
meet in an effort to see what could be done.
The conference is an outcome of this prc
llm!nary arrangement.
An action program is needed if traffic
fatalities are to be reduced since thc

of the State source in past years has far
exceeded expectations, with the result that
state incomes have we'll provided funds fol
necessary functions. On the other hand,
the political subdivisions to which real
property alone was assigned for taxes have
been hard put to provide necessary services
such as streets, water, sewer, welfare, etc
While it is true that these subdivisions
share in some state funds, such as high
way, school, welfare, it is also true that
most of the political subdivisions are heavi-
ly in debt, and have no further source of
taxation.
We believe general sales tax will
eventually be enacted, and when it is a

Of course. his audiences by name.
All he knew is that they were peo-
pie. And being Bible Christian
he knew that wherever people are,
there Gods invitation holds good
All People Are Lost
Two things are quite clear from
the New Testament One is that
all people are lost The other is
that God does not want any one
TO stay lost Jesus spoke of him
self as the Shepherd and Of people
as lost sheep. To be lost" does
not mean to be hopelessly ac-
cursed Any one who has ever
seen a lost sheep knows what a
forlorn sight il is, bedraggled, be
wildered, not likely ever to get
home unless some one shows it
the way. Lost cats need nobody
sympathy; they viii find their way

lost cars or homing pigeons. We
arc lost sheep That is picture
way Of saying that unless God
sets us on the right track and
leads us home, we are all Of us
more likely to 60 wrong than to
go right. a lost sheep has no pride.
Some men have said that pride is
the root of all sins. Jesus did not
seem to think so; weakness and
