thereafter was know as Duncan's
Cave.
On the island between the river
and the canal years ago gun was
found. The gun was bought by a
Zaneville gunsmith named Brelsford
who replaced the rotted, worthless
stock with a new one and shortened
the gunbarrel. A load Of powder still
was in it-probably put in long before
by Duncan. The smith sold the recon-
ditioned gun to z. M. Chandler, of
GAINESVILLE, who thereafter priced it
highly-Duncan's gun.
The course of the river above the
falls for a few miles runs east and a
half-mile from the head of the falls
runs south. The rapids is mile and
quarter. A dam was built across it
in 1885 to improve navigation. The
canal is mile long but the bend in
the river makes the river channel on
the falls longer than by the canal.
Taylorsville on the river opposite
Duncan's Falls, is on a high bluff
and is connected with Duncan's Falls
by a bridge across the river 898 feet
long. The bridge, covered one built
to give access to a four-story flour
mill put up on the Duncan's Falls side
of the stream, was then one of the
most costly in the state. The mill,
itself built in 1888, had eight pairs
of buhrs and cost $4,000.
Taylorsville itself was laid out in
1882 and by 1880 had sol population,
POP school children and four Churches.
The Philo post office is there serving
both towns.

One Man Looks
AT God
BY Charles w. Carlson, Pastor,
St. Marks Evangelical Lutheran
Church, Oakland Maryland

Out of the pages of the Bible,
no series Of chapters is more inn
portant than that group of ethical
teachings of Christ in the Gospel
of Matthew chapters five through
seven, commonly referred to as
the Sermon on the Mount" Here
we have the core of Christ's teach
ings on how we shall conduct our
selves in this life. During the next
six weeks | will deal with the six
statements of Christ that follow this
pattern, You have heard that it
was said to the men of old but
say to you These state
ments are recorded in the Gospel
of Matthew. beginning at 5;21.
The first statement is this.
You have heard that it was
said to the men of old, you shall
not kill, and whoever kills shall
be liable to judgment. But | say
to you that everyone who is
angry with his brother shall be
liable to Judgment; whoever in
suits his brother shall be liable
to the council, and whoever says
you fool shall be liable to the
hell Of fire. So if you are offer
ing your gift at the altar and
there remember that your brother
has something against you, leave
your gift before the altar there
and go; first be reconciled with
your brother, and then come and
offer your gift
At the first sight this seems to
be a rather hard charge to follow,
and this is one time when the first
sight is right Christ never said
it would be easy to follow Him.
and this is one spot when it is very
hard to follow what He instructs
us to do. 1t is so easy to be angry
with anyone, not only our brother,
simply because they disagree with
us. And ii is perhaps easier to be
angry with members of our fam
lilies than with other people, be-
cause we know them better, and
have TO be subjected to their frail-
ties and they to ours more than
with other people
Let's examine the cause Of anger
Basically it is the result of selfish
ness Either We selfishly insist on
our own way in a matter, or we arc
subjected TO person who is act
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-04-12

ing in this manner. Being angry
about a disagreement or difference
Of opinion will never solve the diff
ference Only through understand
ing and love can the difference be
solved, and healthy solution
reached Anger produces further
MISUNDERSTANDING and on global
scale, wars.
But, what about those people who
are openly sinful-the gamblers,
the drunkards, the prostitutes and
their kind? Should we not be angry
with them for their sinful actions?
This would be the normal reaction,
we would think But it will not
solve the problems Christ came
to bring this type of person to their
senses, and none of us can point the
finger of scorn at a person of this
type, because we too are sinful, per-
haps not to the same degree, but
we certainly are not perfect.
We must, in the words of Christ,
BE reconciled to our brother not
acting out of selfishness and anger,
but out of love, and concern for what
is best for their needs. We must
open our eyes to their PERSONAL
ties, try to understand the nature
of the difference of opinion, try
to understand what causes a per-
son to be a drunkard, or thief,
and then do everything in our
power to help them come to saw
ing relationship with their God.
Disappearing of a persons actions
is justifiable, and deserves our help
for them, but simply being angry
with them will never solve any
thing.

point out the national peril in
Volved in continued unrestrained
spending. Long ago Senator Byrd,
who for years has been the one
consistent and powerful advocate
of governmental economy, detailed
how annual savings of over S5000,
100000 could be made without inn
pairing our military power or any
material Governmental function.
In the Hanighen book the manner
in which 81 ,500,000,000 could be used
for the benefit of all the people is
graphically detailed
At no time have the statements.
the figures or the conclusions Of
the Hoover Commission been sue
cessfully criticized, The same is
true of Senator Byrd's statements,
figures and conclusions. No one
pretends to doubt that if the waste
which they point out we're elm
mated the nation would be in
finitely stronger and our institu-
tons sounder Many of the Hoover
recommendation have been
adopted, but there remain some 40
and more major ones which should
be acted on at this session. And the
cuts which Senator Byrd proposes
should be made. Yet the prospects
are not good Why? The answer is
because they are opposed by the
most powerful lobby of all-the
bureaucratic lobby of iobholders.
The further answer is that the poo
pie, in whose interests these pro-
posalS 50 clearly arc, lack the
energy and gumption to demand
action.

Don t Let 1t
Happen Here
Urges LANCE

On the eve of the 1856 Christmas
holiday celebration, fires across the
nation killed % persons. All but 10
of the fire victims were children
eagerly awaiting the excitement
and gifts of Christmas.
| Will it happen again this year,
asks Fire Chief Fred ". Lange =?
The saddest thing is that such
tragedies often occur around the
Christmas holiday sometimes
even around the Christmas tree it
self-at the happiest time of the
year.
! The reason the tree burns so
fiercely and SO rapidly, explains
Chief Lange, is because it's filled
with pitch and resin-among the
most combustible distance S
known.
What can you do about the tree?
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters, together with the
East Cleveland Fire Department,
offer these suggestions:
]. Choose small tree. It's less
dangerous than large one.
2. Don't set it up until a few
days before Christmas. Until then,
keep it outdoors. This will keep it
moist and fresh.
3. Place it in the coolest part
of the house, away from fireplaces
and raditors. And don't let it block
an exit.
4. Stand it in water, or use live
tree planted in a tub of earth.
5. Never use untreated cotton or
untreated paper for the decoration
on or around the tree.
6. Do not put electric trains
under the tree.
/ z. Use only electric lights, never
candles, and see that the wires are
not frayed. Be sure that the wir-
ing sets for lights you choose, bear
the marking Of Underwriters Lab
oratories, Inc. That shows they
have been tested for safety.
/ 6. Provide a switch some dis
tance from the tree for turning tree
lights off and on. Don't plug or
unplug them beneath the tree.
9. Throw away all gift wrap
pings as soon as the presents have
been opened. Don't let them pile
up near the tree.
| 10. Do not leave the lights burn
/ ing when no one is home.
II. II needles near the lights
turn brown, move the lights.
II. When needles start to fall.
take the tree down and discard it.
