The Character OF God

Now the central Christian belief
is that God has done exactly that;
he has been and is focused"
brought to the point where he can
be clearly seen and known, in
man, in the Man Christ Jesus. One
fair question would occur to most
people just here: Is the belief that
Jesus Christ is divine just belief
Of other people about him, or did
Jesus himself ever make any such
claim? The answer is that Jesus
did make such tremendous claim
for himself. Now he never went
about saying II am God" He
never said that so much as once.
But what he did say was SO clear.
and what it implied about his deity
was so plain. that his enemies, who
did not believe him, naturally
called it blasphemy. The 7th and
9th chapters Of John arc made up
Of sort Of running debate or
argument between Jesus and his
hostile critics Three points at
least stand out. One is that Jesus
claimed to be in complete harmony
with God, in Dr. Phillips words,
he focused Gods character II al
ways do what is pleasing to him,
he said.

Today wood boats arc taking
on a new look. They arc being
covered with a new material
glass cloth, with resin filler and
binder. This material not, only

and cuts out a lot Of upkeep
work such as painting, calking
and minor leak repairs.

Letters To Editor
Postal Rates Differ
On 4 Classes of Service

The Editor, Farmville Herald
After reading the letter from
the president of the American EN-
press Company in your Feb 2 is
sue of the Farmville Herald and
your editorial. Government Sub
sidy," l wonder if you would give
space for nearby subscriber to
make few comments 1t is very
proba Bile that Mr.. Hammel got
your editorial of January 8 from
a clipping agency. and that he is
not a subscriber.
! do not know how accurate Mr..
Hammel figures are for losses
sustained by the p. O. Depart
ment in handling parcel post but
it is my impression that this serv-
ice was inaugurated largely for
people IN rural districts and far
from centerS Of population Ger
talnly l think Mr.. Hammels state
ment that the taxpayer is making
contribution primarily for the
benefit Of large commercial users"
is a. false one Certainly many
goods are delivered out in rural
/ districts. With consequent benefits
to the laborcr and manufacturer
IN the cities that would never be
sold at all without the parcel post,
This must benefit the nation S
economy as a whole. even # the
express companies do not make as
much money as they would like
to- I also notice that Mr. Hammell
very carefully did not mention
the large rise in parcel post rates
that took effect in last October
Now. let's agree with the edi-
tor that parcel pest and other
Post Office Department special
services should be on a self-suS-
tanning basis. but why not go
further? Why shouldn't first and
second class mail do the same
thing? The editor expressed a
vested interest. it seems to me
by not wanting to resort to rails
ing rates on first and second class
mail for which the system was
originally established
In the United States News and
World Report published in Wash
ington D. C., July 81, 1858, POST
master General Arthur E. SOM
merfeld states that a loss of 2
billion. 1000 million dollars on
second class mail alone !
Now let's compare rates a lit
tic The rates on second class mail
for the first and second zones is
one and eight-tenths cents per
pound when sent in bulk. while
fourth class parcel post pays %
cents for the first pound or frac-
ton thereof This means that the
Farmvllle Herald can send a bun
die OF papers to my post Office and
get them distributed fer one and
eight tcnths cents per pound. but
if l order a one pound package
from a Falmville merchant It Will
cost me % cents. These figures
can be checked at any local post
Office, and gave my source for
the $2,400. 100000 loss. something
that Mr. Hammel did not do,
One more thing before CLOSING.
1t seems to me in the district
around FarmyIlc a great many Of
the subscribers and friends Of tho
Herald arc farmers and rural peo-
pic. 50 l am surprised and greatly
disappointed at the attitude tho
Herald has taken about the postal
service that is 50 vital to farm

CLOSING of Camp Pickett will have, an
effect throughout this area. Many PEG
pie have found employment as civilians
who will be forced to make establishments
and find other employment. Nottoway,
Amelia and counties to the south will be
affected more than Prince Edward and
the counties to the west Relatively few
people within Farmvlie have been employ
ed-at the camp. The closing now beginning
will be the third time that this camp has
been closed, eactH time before to be reopen
ed because of a national emergency.
Efforts by Blackstone business men and
citizens to get definite answer from the
Defense Department as to the camps flu
ture status are backed by all civic and
business interests in the area. Opening and
closing of this installation cause instability
in the section and the citizens have a valid
argument in pressing for a definite answer.
Proximity to the ports of embarkation
made Pickett especially valuable in event of
war in Europe, otherwise we CAM see no
particular sense in government retention

Perle Mesta is a match

intention of marrying again,
but her own marriage was ex-
tremely happy so she is a
great one for promoting mar
riages among her single
friends.
That's what she had In mind
when she brought Margaret
Truman and Gov. Meyner of
New Jersey together Friday
night in New York. Both are
young. both single. both per-
sonable, both interested in
politics and both Democrats,
so Perle figured they should
meet. Hence both were in.
