'The Signs of Heaven'
Written for The Christian Science Monitor
It may seem that comparativey few of the desires which motivate
a person’s prayers and actions during his human journey are ever at
tained. But almost anyone can look back across the years and wonder
what would have become of him, and where he would be now, if some
of his intense desires had actually come to pass.
The prophet Jeremiah recorded God’s warning against material
ways which sometimes occasion disappointments, seeming defeats,
and frustrations. “Thus saith the Lord,” he wrote (Jeremiah 10:2),
“Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs
of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.”
Not until the writer had been studying Christian Science for some
years did she begin, in the light of its teachings, to recognize “the
way of the heathen,” the solid walls which rose up repeatedly to block
a certain line of procedure that she deemed good and desirable. One
day, after a particularly disappointing setback, she opened the Bible
for comfort, and her attention was arrested by the verse from Jeremiah
already quoted. In a flash of spiritual revelation she saw that “heath
en” can be defined as material thought. Such thinking knows nothing
of God, but looks to matter for evidence of both good and evil, arriv
ing at all conclusions and evaluating all reality by what the material
senses present. Obviously, this mortal state of thought will cause
dismay, because it cannot possibly understand the workings of divine
Mind or recognize the operation of divine Principle.
• « • •
One soon Learns that outward experience is the product of his
thinking. Therefore, instead of being dismayed over seeming defeats,
he should take a keener inward look. Are his motives spotless? Is his
purpose big and unselfish? Is he willing to see others succeed? Does the
solution he desires mean so much to him that no other outcome is
acceptable? Honest answers to these questions may reveal the reason
behind many unhappy situations.
• • • •
In the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures,” Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of
of Christian Science, writes (p. 30), “We cannot choose for ourselves,
but must work out our salvation in the way Jesus taught.” Jesus’ way
of deliverance from all that is earthly and mortal is contained in his
familiar words (John 5:30), “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I
hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own
will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” The secret of
unshakable peace of mind lies in this complete surrender of any at
tempt to be something or to do something apart from God.
In “Miscellaneous Writings” Mrs. Eddy writes (p. 10): “The good
cannot lose their God, their help in times of trouble. If they mistake
the divine command, they will recover it, countermand their order,
retrace their steps, and reinstate His orders, more assured to press on
safely.”
Let us never be dismayed at “the signs of heaven”—whatever
seems to be defeat. God is never defeated, and His expression, man,
cannot be. A better cleansing of our motives, a holier purpose, a
more steadfast trust that God will place us where He needs us most,
can open unsuspected doors upon vistas of true happiness. ,

Friendship
By Eva Mae Davis
One of the most precious of life
possessions is a good friend.
Find a person WITHOUT friends
and you have found a person who
is MISERABLE. Man cannot live
ALONE because he is a SOCIAL
animal who cannot live with1
enemies and cannot exist without
friends.
Thus, one of man’s PRINCIPLE
objectives in life should be the
discovery and CULTIVATION of
friends.
“Chance”, De Lille said, “makes
our parents, but choice makes our
friends ”
Since friendship should be LAST
ING, care should be exercised in
the CHOiCE of friends because
changing them is often PAINFUL.
Ecclesiastes IX, 10 says, “For
sake not an OLD friend, for the
new is not comparable unto him j
A new friend is as new wine,
when it is old thou shalt drink it'
it with PLEASURE.”
There is considerable DIFFER
ENCE between mere acquaintances
and real friends An acquaintance
is one whom you LIKE to associate
with while a friend is someone
whom you LOVE, and who loves
you sufficiently to help you in
time of need and stand by you in
ADVERSITY. Get broke, get sick,
or get into trouble and your
FRLENDS flock to the rescue, mak
ing real sacrifices to HELP you
tinder such circumstances it is of
ten DIFFICULT to find mere ac
quaintances.
The old English probverb is so
RIGHT in stating: “A friend in
need is a friend indeed.”
Back in 17d3 George Washington
wrote: “TRUE friendship is a
plant of slow growth and must un
dergo and with stand the shocks
of adversity before it is entitled to
the appellation.”
Friendship, of course, in NEVER
£ one-way street, and one cannot
1 expect to RECEIVE evidences of
friendship without any RETURN.
“A friend must never be IN
JURED,” said Syrus, “even in jest.”
But that does not mean that you
must alway AGREE with a friend
or condone or APPROVE all he
says and does, because he MIGHT
be very wrong. Those who are
REAL friends will try to PROTECT ;
you from harm and keep you from J
injurious ERROR, but they will al
so DEFEND you to the very end.
“A man that hath friends,” says
Proverbs XV 111 2 4, must SHOW
himself friendly; and there is a
friend that siicketh CLOSER than
a brother ”
ANOTHER thing to remember,
always, is that the opinions, feel
ings, and actions of a real friend
must be RESPECTED. A person
is very FOOLISH who thinks that
he can trample on the feelings of
a friend, and still RETAIN his
friendship.
I)o NOT misunderstand a friend
or surely he will misunderstand
‘YOU.
I Misunderstand i n g DESTROYS
more friendships than anything
else that can happen, so strive
always' to interpret CAREFULLY
the words and actions of a friend,
and be prepared to YIELD your
position when his feelings are
ruffled.
A true friend is too VALUABLE
to lose over a silly difference of
opinion or a matter of taste.
NONE of us is perfect, all are
imperfect; so be tolerant of im
perfections in others if you would
expect THEM to do likewise. Aris
totle observed that “A TRUE
friend is one soul in two bodies.”
He MEANT that friends should
see eye-to-eye, have mutual views
and tastes, and share a common
LOYALTY.
! To those who crave wealth let it
be said that there is none superior
to friendship because money MAY
lose its value, but friendship
NEVER. The WEALTHIEST man
is not he who possesses great lands

A teen aged Ord girl has received a slashed hand which re
quired six stitches when she was struck by a knife in the hands
of a teen age boy.
The Ord youths have been playing a version of Russian Roul
ette. They wear inflated rubber balloons fastened to their shirts
and slash at them with open knives in an effort to puncture the
balloon of their opponent.
It was during one of these contests that th&.girl was slashed.
Ord Police have issued orders to stop the “game” and the
Ord Mayor and school officials have asked parents of high school
boys to also clamp down on the practice. It has been pointed out
that jabs from the sharp knives could be fatal under certain
circumstances.

At Ogallala there are nearly 300 persons who work in the town
but live elsewhere. They commute daily to Ogallala because there
is no housing available there.
The Chamber of Commerce has sent a letter to each of these
persons, asking them the size of house they need, the amount of
rent they would be willing to pay, whether they are interested
in buying and about what price they feel they could afford.
The data will be compiled and a community-wide effort will
be made to provide housing for those who need it, the-Keith
County News indicated last week.

Chadron merchants staged “White Elephant” days last week
at which time they spread out a lot of hard-to-sell merchandise,
put the prices down really low and let the shoppers do the rest.
Even farm machinery and used cars was moved to a spot in the
business section where it would be convenient for everyone to
inspect the offerings.
The Chadron Record reported the idea as one which “really
clicked” and one of the most successful promotions in years.

Crete is struggling with the problem of disbanding a "cat
club” which a group of juvenile boys have formed. The purpose
of the organization is to kill cats-. alley cats, house cats, just
anybody’s cat. One youth admitted killing nine cats. “If you kill
the cats with a witness you don’t have to cut off their tails and
ears” one boy told Crete police. Otherwise the club requires the
presentation of the appendages to prove eligibility for the club.
Homeowners who have cats for pets are up in arms over the
group’s activities.

inis is a most striking example
of the evil power of rumor. And
I’m sure that when you read this

Rumors
Have Far
Reaching Evils
Rumor can be one of the most
damaging of all human failings. It;
can ruin reputations, cause panic,
and even start riots I’ve just fin
ished reading a very disturbing
article in the current issue of PIC
TURE WEEK Magazine, which j
showed how a terrible race riot was
touched oif by rumor.
It began as a traffic jam on a
Detroit bridge, when two cars j
locked bumpers. One contained a i
wh’te couple, the other a Negro
couple and their baby. All four I
passengers got out to argue and
the people in other cars craned;
their necks to see what was going
on But because it was a bright
glarey day, the drivers of autos ,
facing one direction saw a differ-1
ent scene than those facing the
other way. From one line of cars,1
according to PICTURE WEEK, it
looked like a Negro facing a white j
man and woman. From the second
line, it appeared as if a white man
was argumg with a Negro attack
ing the white man’s wife. Some
said the man was armed with a
knife and. a little later, people
were saying that there was a wave
of knife-wielding Negroes attack-;
ing whites. From the other direc-j
tion, the rumors involved the white
man and the Negro baby. Some
passed the word that he had
thrown the child off the bridge and
that oolice had arrived and were
siding with the white man. By
the time the rumor had reached
the Negro section of town, it in-1
eluded an alleged reign of terror
on the Negro population. A riot
was under way, and when it was
over, 34 were dead and hundreds I
more injured. j

If you plan to buy

NOW’s the time to
CHECK YOUR WIRING!
Many sweltering home owners discov
ered too late last summer that their
homes, like most others today, need a
special electrical circuit before room air
conditioning units will operate efficiently.
Don’t let inadequate, old-fashioned
wiring prevent you from enjoying the
cool, relaxing comfort of air-conditioning
this summer.
The demand for room air-conditioners
was greater than ever last year. With
this increased demand came an avalanche
of work for electrical contractors. But
because new home construction ties up
contractors from April to September,
only a limited number of homes could
be wired properly for air-conditioning
units. People who wanted the full com
fort of air-conditioning were disap
pointed.
