1t is hard to examine our own
lives. Part Of each Of us sits on
the bank and watches the rest
Of us flow past to be inspected.
The part on the bank doesn't get
examined. So some of our pride,
selfishness, and greed escapes
our notice. We are all like onions,
made up Of layers upon layers
of human nature. When we get
rid of one layer Of sin there is
another underneath, and clear
on down to a hollow core, for
there is nowhere within us
solid center which is free from
human weakness. When a man
recognizes his pride he tries to
feel and do the things a humble
person should do. Then he be-
comes proud of his humility.
Then he sees he is hypocritical
in his humble attitude and be-
comes discouraged. So the Apos-
tie Paul cried out % wretched
man that l ami who shall de-
liver me from the body of this
death?" (Rom. 7:24) Yet, we
must remember, it was Saint
Paul who was speaking, Nero,
whom all the world condemns,
never bothered about self-exam-

Savings Bonds Express Faith

An investment in an automobile insures
you of pleasure to a certain extent while
an investment in home gives a feeling
of security; however, the purchase of a
United States Savings Bond is an express
ion of faith in the great future of our
country.
During World II one of the most success
full selling ventures in the history of our
country enabled us to wage the kind of
battle which resulted in the defeat of the
enemy. Patriotism was established as the
motivating factor in the success of the
sales campaign.
Today, the sale of Savings Bonds con-
tinues in its quiet way. Many citizens are

the way of civic Accomplishments. It's

What Good Deeds Do You Know?

The editors of the American Peoples
Encyclopedia are striving to recognize
good deeds. So they've compiled a list of
good deeds performed in 1853 and will
include it in their 1854 yearbook, soon to
be published.
Although we think the encyclopedia
editors have compiled a good list, home
town pride leads us to believe that just as
good list Cor maybe better) could be put
together from good deeds performed right
here in Tabor City during 1853
Let's try it, shall We? Read over the
good deeds listed below and then give
some thought to 1858 good deeds in our
town with which you, personally, are
familiar. Send your list to The Tribune.
If we receive enough such contributions.
we'll print our own selections of Tabor
