SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Thursday, March 30, 1944 AT THE CHURCHESi CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE 4th and C Streets W. R Wise, Pastor Dr. Bruce’s Dream What Is Your Christianity Worth? S« tired tiiat I could hardly go another step at the end ot u strenuous day I sat down in a large soft parsonage chair to test a bit It was only a few moments until 1 was sound asleep. Then 1 dreamed that 1 went to see an old Judge whom 1 had known in former years. He lived in a splen did mansion on a knoll overlook ing the little village where he had risen from the bottom to tin I very top in his legul profession The suns of 80 summers hud 1 passed over his head, and just ns . many winters had left their man ' tie of snow upon his crown; yet , the young and the old were still ' wearing pathways to his home seeking his counsel and advice on the weightier matters of life. In my dreams 1 found him sit ting in his spacious parlors sur rounded by a company of neigh bors who had called in honor of his birthday. He was as Jolly as could be and called each guest by his first name, just as he would each child in his own fam ily. They chatted for an hour or more as only close friends can. Then someone asked him, "Judge, how do you account for your long and happy life?" He replied, "Well, white I have never favored prohibition, yet I have personally been a teetotaler. I was born and raised in the state of Kansas, and have lived here all my days It is a healthy state to live In. And do you know that Kansas has 54 counties without any insane; 54 counties without any feeble-mind ed: 96 counties without any poor- house: 53 counties without any persons in jail, and 65 counties without any representatives in the State Penitentiary? Yes, that is a fact: and people claim it is be cause Kansas voted dry years ago. Because I’m a teetotaler I have managed to keep out of all these Institutions. Probably that Is at least one of the big secrets of my long and healthy life." Just then the telephone rang, and I was roused from my dream 9 46 - Church school, T. S.

Coffin Foundation confers a special citation f o r distinguished wartim e achievement on the ELECTRIC LIGHT and POWER INDUSTRY "Facad with unprecedented demands, the Electric Light and Power Industry has met every war-production requirement without delay and without impairment of its Peacetime services to the public. This achievement merits the appreciation not only of American industry but of the entire nation. ” -----H O M T H F C IT A T IO N r | 'H IS CITATION is richly merited—for here is a * branch of industry that has done a remarkable war job that has not been generally recognized. If electric power should fail, or if it be too little or too late, the disastrous effects would startle all America. Vital machines would be motionless. Millions of homes would be cold-^-and an eerie blackout would descend over the land. But, electricity has not failed. Rather, in 1943 twice as much power was produced as in the year before the war—with the minimum of new facilities and despite large losses of skilled employees to the Armed Services. In the words of J. A. Krug, Director, Office of War Utilities of W.P.B., "Power men—public and private— should be proud of the job that has been done in provid ing power supply. Power has never been too little or too late.” -- ---------------- We of General Electric, who have built a large part of the electric equipment which generates, distributes, and usea, the electric power of America, take pride in the way this equipment is standing up under the strain of "forced draft” wartime operation. Many of the men and women responsible for this remarkable record are your neighbors—the manager or meter reader who lives across the street, the girl in the accounting department who is in your bridge club, the lineman with whom you bowled last night. A word of appreciation from you to them will lend added •ig- mficance to this well deserved citation. General Electric Company, Schenectady, New York.
