HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1932. PAGE THREE Churches . . now uniting Up on the hilltop above my farm Btatids an old white church with a tapering spire, in which religious services have been held for nearly 150 years. When it was built by the Congregationalists, the few families of Baptists in the village started a little church of their own, but more than a hundred years ago they came to the sensible conclusion that they didn't need two churches, so the congregations merged. There have been no denominational differences in that remote corner of New Eng land since then. In England the other day the three branches of the Methodist church agreed to drop their doctrin al differences and unite in one church organization. The northern and southern divisions of some of the American denominations which were split by the Civil War are be ginning to reunite. The Christian denomination and the Congrega tion allsta have lately merged. Contrary to the prevailing notion, membership in both the Protestant and Cathol,ic churches in America is increasing. Determination . girls a mile into the depths of the ocean, in his bathysphere. Where we formerly lived In a world of two dimensions, our grand children wiH move about freely in a three-dimensional world. When the University of Louisi ana announced that the college would accept farm products instead of money for the payment of stu dents' fees, seventeen-year-old Ele na Percy, of West Feliciana Parish, got on her horse, rounded up nine head of cattle and herded them over forty miles of country road, to the university, where she enrolled as a freshman student To me there is something not on ly picturesque but refreshing in this girl's demonstration that the old pioneer spirit of America is not dead. I have never met Alena Per cy, but she has the spirit that over comes obstacles, the determination to get an education at whatever cost in hardship and work. My guess is that Miss Percy will develop into a much more useful citizen than some of the young wo men I occasionally see riding horses in Central Park or following the fox hounds at the fashionable coun try clubs. France . her dirt farmers The farmers of Prance have no such problems about the marketing of their wheat and other staple crops as confront the farmers of the United States. That is because they do not export anything to speak of, and the Importation of staples which might bring the French farmers' prices down is strictly regulated by law. Every year the authorities in each department tell each French farm er how many acres of winter wheat and how many acres of spring wheat he may sow. There is no sur plus production. Bakers are not allowed to use more than 3 per cent of imported wheat In their bread. That is one reason why the wheat growers of France are getting $1.40 a bushel for their product this year as against the 60 cents or less which the American farmer gets. Unfortunately, under our Ameri can system we cannot exercise any such control over individual farm ers. Each farmer will grow what he pleases, regardless of the prob able market Nobody can help the farmers but the farmers themselves, They can only help themselves by cooperative effort for the control of orop production and marketing. Some day the dirt farmers will get together and throw out the political farmers who make their living by keeping the farmers and the nation in a state of unrest. Security .... under foot One of my friends from back in the hills drove over to my farm the other day to talk about things in general. "I was born In the city," he told me, "and served eight years in the navy before I fell in love with a country girl and married her and came up to live on the farm. I am milking thirty cows, but although I am only getting two cents a quart at the milk station I am not com plaining. Things are going to get better. "I've got five smart, healthy chil dren, we always have plenty to eat and a roof over our heads, and when I hear from the fellows that I used to know In town that they have lost their jobs and don't know what to do for a living, I think I am lucky." I think he Is more than lucky. I think my friend showed a great deal more Intelligence in getting a piece of land under his feet than imost men or Ms opportunities. Dimensions . . new points We are Just beginning to realize what a small part of the world we know anything about. For millions of years mankind lived in a thin layer of air, less than seven feet thick, between the surface of the earth and the tops of our heads. We dug a well, perhaps, or built a tow er, but we were tied to the surface of the land and of the sea so far as our movements were concerned. Nivw the airplane and the dirigi ble take us, at will, three or four miles or more above the surface, and the submarine boat will carry us two or three hundred feet below the surface of the sea. Professor Plccard went up ten miles into the stratosphere not long ago. A little later William Beebe descended half PINE CITY . i ALMA NEILL. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Campbell and son, Mrs. C. D.

That night his action was the talk of the town. It is a very familiar story, much preached upon and pictured. But almost invariably the pictures show Jesus with a halo around his head, as though that was the explanation of his triumph. The truth Is so much simpler and more impress ive. There was, in his eyes, a flam ing moral purpose; and greed and oppression have always shriveled before such fire. But with the majesty of Jesus' glance there was something else which counted powerfully in his favor. As his right arm rose and fell, striking its blows with that lit tle whip, the sleeve dropped back to reveal muscles hard as iron. No one who watched him in action had any doubt that he was fully ca pable of taking care of himself. No flabby priest or money-changer cared to try conclusions with that arm. There are those to whom it will seem almost irreverent to suggest that Jesus was physically strong. They think of him a a voice, a pres ence, a spirit; they never feel the rich contagion of his laughter, nor remember how heartily he enjoyd good food, nor think of what his years of hard toll must have done to his arms and back and legs. Look for a moment at those first thirty years. There was no soft bed for his mother on the night he entered the world. He was brought forth in a stable, amid animals and the animal-like men who tended them. When Jesus was stil an infant the family hurried away into Egypt On the long trip back, some years later, he was judged old enough to walk, for there were younger chil dren; and so, day after day, he trudged beside the little donkey, a hard life. Early in his boyhood Jesus, as the eldest son, went into the family carpenter shop. The practice of carpentry was no easy business in those simpler days. Doubtless the man who took a contract for a house assumed responsibilities for digging into the rough hillside for its foundations; for felling trees in the forest, and shaping them with .an adze. In after years those who listened to the talk of Jesus by the Sea of Galilee, and heard him speak of the "man who built his house upon a rock" had no doubt that he knew what he was talking about. Some of them had seen him bending his strong clean shoulders to deliver heavy blows. So he waxed strong" as the nar rative tells us a phrase which has rather been buried under the too frequent repetition of "the meek and lowly" and "the lamb."
