4 Thursday, August 26, 1943 County News St. Helens LOGGED-OVER LAND SOUGHT FOR PULPWOOD If negotiations now under way between the county court and an out-of-county paper company are completed, more than 10,000 acres of logged-over land in the Clats kanie area will be sold to the con cern, Judge Ray Tarbell disclosed last week. So far, the court has not even set a price on the land, which lies in four townships, but On the basis of past sales the 10,- 000 acres probably is worth about $30,000. The paper company, whose name will not be announced until nego tiations are completed, already has dispatched employees to check over second growth stands in the townships to determine size and age. The concern has informed the court that it proposes to log the area selectively in the event the purchase goes through. Se cond growth timber suitable for pulp wood must be 60 years old or thereabouts, so it is assumed that operations would continue er a period of many years on the land here. PAINT-MAKING TEST DUE FOR COUNTY ORE Two carloads of iron ore taken from claims on the 1200 acres held by A. A. Muck of Portland in the country west and north of Scappoose are being dispatched this week to C. K. Williams and 'Co. of Emeryville, Calif, in re sponse to a request by them for the o-e which they intend to check for its value in paint manufac ture. Although the Williams com pany letter said approximately 50 tons would be needed, Muck indi cated that two carloads aggregat ing about twice this amount would be sent. Data already in hands of the Emeryville company indicates that the iron ore in the county depos its is suitable for use in making paint, they wrote Muck. In the event that the ore dispatched to them next week lives up to ad vance expectations, the company will be able to use 200 to 300 tons for the remainder of this year. Its annual requirements are about 1,000 tons per year and indications are that the company will ask Muck to supply the ore from his holdings here if the ma terial is satisfactory.

I read it, but I cannot make anything of it. Some how it is obscure and my mind does not take hold of it.” How do you read your Bible? “Oh, I read a chapter now and then; I read it here and there.” Suppose your boy comes home from school and says, “I can t make anything of this arithmetic; it is all dark to me.” You say to him. “How did you study it?” Oh, I read a little at the be ginning, and then I turned to the middle and read a little here and there, and skipped backward and forward. But I don’t under stand it; I can’t see into it.” You say to him, “My son, that ¡S not the way to understand arithmetic. You must begin at the beginning, with the simplest ele ments, master evqry principle, learn every rule, solve every' prob lem and perform every example, and then the whole book will open to you as you go on.” When you read a novel, do you begin in the middle and erad a page here and a line there, and skip about hither and thither and say, “I can’t make anything of this book?” No, you begin at the beginning, where “A solitary horse man was seen one dark, tempest uous night, riding along upon the margin of a swollen stream which wound about the base of a lofty mountain, on which stood an an cient castle,” etc., etc. There is where you begin; and then you read every line and every page of the book until you get to the end. Sometimes they print a column or two of a story in a paper and go and scatter it through the town and at the end of it you will read; “The remainder of this thrilling story will be found in the col umns of the Weekly Blazing Com et;” and you start off down to the newsroom and buy the Blazing Comet to find out how the story ends! Why will you not take the Bible and read it in the same way? Why will you not give as much atten tion to the faithful words of the living God as you will to a pack of lies spun out by some sinful man? Why will you not take the Bible and read -it from beginning to end and see how it comes out? You will find it the grandest and most thrilling story the world has ever known. Sometimes when you have not time to read a novel through, you read the first chapter or two to find out who the hero is and then skim through the pages and read the closing chapters and find out who was murdered, who was hung and who was married and then you can guess the rest, for there is usually about so much sawdust put in the middle for stuffing. Why will you not do as much as this for the Bible? Begin at the be ginning and read until yob ti*' out who is the hero of the story. You will find out that thg pres ence of one person pervades the whole book. If you will go into a British navy yard, or on board a British vessel and pick up a piece of rope you will find that there is one lit tle red thread which runs through the whole of it—through every foot of cordage which belongs to the British government; so if a piece of rope is stolen, it may be be cut into inch pieces, but every piece has the mark which tells where it belongs. It is so with the Bible. You may separate it into a thousand parts, and yet you will find one thought, one great fact running through the whole of it. You will find it constantly pointing and referring to one great personage—“the seed of the woman” that shall crush the ser pent’s head; “the seed of Abra ham,” in which all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; “the seed of David,” who shall sit on David’s throne and reign forev er more; the despised and rejected sufferer, the Man of sorrows, the Christ of God, born in Bethle hem, crucified on Calvary, rising triumphant from Joseph’s tomb, as cending to sit at God’s right hand and coming again to judge the world and reign as King and Lord of all forever. Around this one mighty Per sonage this whole book revolves. “To Him give all the prophets witness;” and this book, which pre dicts His coming in its eariest pages, which foreshadows His per son and His ministry through all its observances, types and sacred prophecies, reveals in its closing lines the eternal isplendor which shall crown and consummate His mighty work.

Christ bought you for God with His own blood. You are now a member of Christ’s holy body. What Christ, the Son is to the Father, so are we also, as members of Christ’s body.

Count your self as alive from the dead; yield all to the Holy Spirit live by the Power from on High. QUIZ BIZ Who to-day is the most power ful person in the World? Answer—God the Holy Spirit; the Third Person of the God- Head. How long has the Holy Spirit carried on as now? Answer—When Christ ascended, the Holy Spirit was sent down from heaven to give new life to all who receive Christ as Lord and Saviour. What was the date? Answer—The Day of Pente- coste. Fifty days after Christ arose from the grave. Where does the Spirit now dwell? Answer—"What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.”— Bible. Yield all: earn eternal re ward; God expects you to live by Power From On High.

It bears its own fruits and tells iti own story. The great trouble with us is, we do not read this book, we do not use it, we do not under stand it—it is a sorrowful fact that you can hardly go into a pray er meeting but you are likely to hear a quotation from Scrip ture that is not in the Bible and never was. You may hear, “In the midst of life we are in death." from the prayer book; “God temp ers the wind to the shorn lamb,” from an old romance; “God un changeable ordains whatsoever comes to pass,” from the Cate chism, accompanied by passages misquoted, misunderstood and mis applied, which show that people do not read their Bibles and do not understand them. And the worst thing about it is one half the people who go to meeting do not seem to know the difference We need to read the Bible to search it, study it, believe it, and obey it, and we shall find that it is filled with sanctifying power to our own souls and that it is the word of salvation to the lost and perishing. Of Latter Day Saints Official newspaper, Vernonia, Ore OF Part VII by J ames P reston Before congress reconvenes, the house ways and means committee will open hearings on the possible amendment or elimination of the renegotiation statute which has caused so many grave uncertain ties in the nation’s industrial plants. Invitations to testify at the op ening sessions have been extend ed the undersecretaries of war and navy, Robert Patterson and James Forrestal; Secretary of Commerce Jessee Jones; Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.; and Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of the maritime Commis sion. Individual contractors and such spokesmen for industry as the National Association of Manu facturers will be given a full opportunity to present their side of the case. In deciding to start public^hear ings on September 9, Chairman Robert L. Doughton shunted aside earlier plans to give first place on the committee agenda to a new tax bill with rates applicable to 1944 income. A determined effort will be made to write into the renegotia tion statute some provision for in suring more adequate means of accumulating sufficient private capital to foot the reconversion bill after the war, according to in formed members of the ways and means committee. There is substantial sentiment in the committee for inclusion of such a provision not only in the renegotiation statute but also in the new revenue bill which the group will take up after disposing of the renegotiation issue. Congressional interest in this problem was aroused recently by the statement of Chairman Walter F. George of the senate finance committee that the repeal of the corporate excess profits tax im mediately after the war is neces sary “to encourage new ventures and stimulate private business.” INSPIRATION BIBLE TOO MANY READ CARELESSLY Because of the recent restora tion of the grade-labeling of meat on the part of Director Fred Vin son, the OPA will set prices on grades established by the office of economic stabilization.
