DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
For hundreds, possibly
thousands of years Solomon
has been called "the wisest
man that ever "lived." If
knowledge is power, then
knowing how to use knowl
edge is even greater than
knowledge itself. Archi
medes claimed that with a
lever and a lulcrum he could
move the world. Jesus
Christ, with a cross on a
skull-shaped hill, did move it.
Walt discovered and applied
the expulsive power of steam
and set hundreds of wheela
humming. Christ discovered
and applied the expulsive
power of a , new affection,
and set millions of human
hearts singing. Edison took
Inert ' material, charged it
- with energy and dispelled
darkness with radiant light.
Christ takes inert lives,
changes them with His love
and makes them "shine
above the brightness of the
firmament." Solomon died
about three thousand years
ago and is now but a name.
Christ, greater than Solomon
is still here though He died
on a cross nearly two thou
sand years ago.
-' "I know not where the way
mav lead,
Or if the skies be blue or
dim; v
My hungry soul I. know He'll
feed
And guide my weary soul to
Him." Amen.
Three "Drunks," Reckless
Driver Assessed Fines
John T. Anderson, charged
witli intoxication, forfeited ball
of $20 and D. Green arranged to
pay a fine of $20 after pleading
guilty before the Roseburg city
court on the same charge, A. J.
Geddes, city recorder, stated to
day. Guy Wardrip, accused of reckless
driving, was fined $10 and his
