We have heard much during the last decade about “getting down to the grass roots”. The speakers could well have been referring to the political organizations, because much of the work of conducting a campaign is done by the county and state organizations. These comm ittee men and women are serving, like school board members and in some cases city council- men, without pay and are doing an essential work. They are usually biased and often-times are overly enthusiastic, but without these gr oups we would have no political parties, and without political parties we would have no democratic form of government as we know it in this country. Many persons cuss and discuss politics, but a big percentage of the voters do not realize that the political parties stem from county groups such as the committees on which their friends are serving. When tne voting is over and the shouting dies down, the precinct committee men and women can return to their routine chores, feel ing that they have again executed a fine job- that of informing the public as to the merits and demerits of the people who have asked public jobs from the voters.

Until the cities be wasted without Inhabitant, and the houses without men, and the land be utterly des olate, and the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. Isa. 6:11. 12. We remembered when this once godly family paused each morning at the hallowed spot, the family altar, to light their candles for the day—from father to baby, all hon ored God In this hour before the [day began. Now father gulped down | his breakfast without so much as a I word of Grace and was off nearly late to work and the children trail ed off to school. What will the ult- : lmate pay day be? Even now the mother began complaining of her children backsliding and going Into i brazen sin. Today mothers and dads are both too busy making money to I take much note of the children nor ! In bringing them up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Unheeded has gone God’s urgent Injunction: "Train up a child in the way he j should go: and when he Is old, he will not depart from It." Pay day?— tomorrow’s leaders just one step nearer paganism, agnosticism, ath eism. Our schools and colleges are mostly headed by leaders who give little If any attention to religious principles. Pay day?—consider dar kened. heathen, atrocious Japan who have consistently thrust God from them thru the centuries. As Ood Is no res pec tor of persons nor nations Just so could America or any other nation be who continues to neglect Christ and HLs Bible. My dear reader, how long has It been since you observed the dally reading of the Bible and the sweet fellow ship of waiting on Ood around the family alter? How often do you attend church and communion? The churches are largely deserted— where are the believers? Where do you spend your time In meditation and prayer? Who Is your Ood? If 1 you are spendig your strenngth In ; the counsel and wisdom of this world, when the heavens begin to ,shake with the wrath of Ood and earth reels under the Impact of God's disfavour to whom will you flee for help and where will you leave your glory?
