heather that he would join the
Jewish fold if EIillel explained
Judaism to him while he was
standing on one leg.
Hillel answered that it might be
summed up thus: what is hate.

bors." All the rest is commentary,
said Hillel. He was not referring
to the magazine.
If you consider for a moment.
what EIillel really did in this in
stance was just what Einstein did.
Einstein propounded a little equa-
ton. taking up about fourth Of
a line in which he changed the
whole future of the world. Hillel
performed a similar sirnplifica-
tion. He gave an atomic definition
of Judaism. He propounded the
Golden Rule. about so years be-
fore the birth of Christianity.
This definition Of Judaism by
Hillel was of course a relative
definition. To a man standing on
one leg, the universe is not the
same as to a man standing on
both legs, just as time, as Einstein
pointed out, will appear entirely
different to a man sitting on red
hot stove and a man holding Mar
ilyn Monroe in his lap. In the
former case an hour will appear
much longer than in the latter in
stance.

pursue peace and love all crea-
lures" said Hillel. Everyone says
he pursues peace. Some indeed
pursue peace so that poor peace
is scared out Of its wits. Every
one avows himself to be for peace.
That's not enough. They are like
the politician who in the days of
Prohibition was asked if he was
for the Prohibition law. II am for
the Prohibition law" he replied,
but against its enforcement"
Einstein is really for peace. He
is a true disciple of Aaron. Every
word-every act of his is mott
waited by the desire to increase the
mood for peace.
Plumbing might bring Einstein
more peace. but we hope he
doesn't become a plumber. Let

business and prosperity. Economists take
these statistics, balance them one against
the other and come up with prediction.
They fail sometimes to take into consider
alton the psychology of the buying public.
SO long as money freely circulates and the
average citizen buys his needs the chance
of a recession is lesSened. On the contrary,
the economy can become out Of balance if
the people change their buying psychology,
Bank savings are showing a normal in
crease, which indicates the money to be
available to buy and we believe business
will continue good if every citizen continues
to purchase in a normal way.
Mr.. Babson reports that wait and see
attitude is found nationwide which is nat
ural. The Federal Government is making
every effort to reduce unnecessary expen-
ditures, in an ultimate goal to balance the
budget. Wild government spending which
continued 10 add to the national debt and

curtaied. A return to more normal econ
omy may be expected in the future, which
need not mean "hard-times," but rather

buyers market is coming. More sales effort,
higher type Of service, more and better adj
vertiSng to create desire viii be needed
IN the future to keep the sales volume high.
Those firms which recognize these demands
of the buyer will hold business to a high

The retail and wholesale establishments
in Farmville generally report a successful
year and they are looking forward to an
equally good year in 1854 Fortunately. the
economy in this area is not dependent upon
any one phase Of business. Agricultural
products are Observation-Disclosures, grains,
cattle, dairying manufacturing is diversi-
fed -shoes garments, shocks and boxes,
wood work, pulpwood; and there are other
contributing factors such as colleges, medi-
cal and dental services, amusements, etc,
which give Farmville a broad economic
base
We greet 1854 with d determination to
make it the best year Of all, to give our
readers and customers The best service we
are capable Of, and having done these
things we are assured of normally good

The Living Word

Now God knows that We can
say. without irreverence that God
is faced with a kind of dilemma. II
he lets things take their natural
course, most men will not believe
in him, and that will be bad for
them But if he so to speak bursts
on mortal men in his full glory,
no human mind could endure it.
Suppose a very curious and skep-
teal person who did not believe
in atoms because he had never
seen one. insisted on a close view
Of an atomic explosion? He would
be vaporiZed before he knew what
hit him. A full view, SO 10 speak.
Of the Infinite and Omnipotent
God would be insupportable by
our small minds. 1t is the glory
Of God that he has solved this
dilemma. He. the Unreliable, has
translated himself into the life of
man He the lndeseribablc has
become flesh" MS John puts it-.-has
become the Christ who can be
described. He who is infinitely be-
yond us has come to live beside
as The God who dwells in Eter-
nitys silence has spoken in many
forms and fragment" in ages
past, but now has spoken the per-
feet Word in Christ. When the
church calls Christ the Word"
Of God we mean that Christ is
what God has to say.

Prosperous New Year

PREDICTIONS for the future are made
by many writer's at this time of the year.
Why they choose January |, and not some
other time Of the year has often been ques-
ton. Some appear to place period behind
the past year and begin all over again with
January l, and if you would believe them
things will begin to change on January 2.
We can not follow that line of thought
Business adopts the end of the year as
closing point for dividends as the end of
time cycle principally because of taxes, but
it does not follow that the beginning of the
year will find an entirely new look. Christ
mas buying in the retail trades leaves the
period Immediately thereafter a little bare,
but by mid-January things begin to show
progress again. The year end holidays d.
vert the attention Of the buyer and tend to
disrupt the general routine but it does not
last long.
Taking look at several of the business
analyses for the next year, 1854 Jocks good.
There will be rumors of war, and minor
wars throughout the world, condition
which is not unusual On almost every New
Year war has been in progress somewhere.
In former times we did not have the mod
ern facilities to know about it, and because
of limited transportation it did not affect
us as much as it does today However it is
generally agreed that major war will not
come in 1854 The United States has
grown more powerful militarly, which
tends to stabilize the Russian threat. No
doubt the cold war" will continue, but
there-is no World War III in sight for 1854,
From time immemorial the nations
which have inadequate governments and
economic systems have faced hunger and
poverty. Our nation would not have its high
standard Of living if its transportation fa
cilities were archaic, such as YOU find in
China, the South East Asia Africa, and
others YOU can name. Our prosperity de
ponds largely upon transportation facll-
ties. the railroads. steamship lines and
motor highways, Distribution is essential
to prosperity. Fortunately, the United
States has an excellent transportation sys-
TEN which distributes the agricultural pro-
duets Of the South and West in trade for
the manufactured goods Of the North and
East.

circulation as a medium of exchange for
the products of the farms, the factories

1854 Military Might

States Air Force packs more power as 1854
enters the world stage than it has ever
packed before. The year 1854 promises the
first quality deliveries of the newest heavy
jet bomber, the B-52.
In addition, the Air Force has new
fighters on the way, an impressive supply
Of F86 jet fighters, and a number Of med-
UNI jet bombers. This country'+ atomic
stock pile is said to be tremendous, and
quantity production Of hydrogen bombs is
sure to get underway during 1854
We dwell on L. s. military strength to
point out this strength improves chances
for world peace Had the United States
undertaken such a rearmament program
in a peaceful world, such strength might
constitute threat TO peace. However. in a
world with aggressors active. the only sure
way Of keeping peace is for the democrat
cieS to pack power enough to retaliate
against aggression.
This year, for The first time in three
years. the United States enters new wear
without having its sons dying on the battle
fields. This year, then brings with if more
hope than any since World War II.

Another thing that we seriously
want to know, is whether God has

it is and how he uses it. There is

ruler of all. but sort OF candi-

can TO gain control but who so far
has not succeeded. If we under

called Jesus Master" and with
coed reason God is master of his
universe. And yet we also see that
