School Leaders To Meet December 2 School boar'd members, legislators, and superintendents of schools from Adams. Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, LaGrange, Miami, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, Wells, and Whitley counties will meet at Garrett Thursday, December 2 to discuss the legislative program of the Indiana school boards association. A dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Garrett Country Club, according to Harry Heinserling. member of the Garrett school board and regional chairman for the H counties. One of the principal measures to be discussed is a bill asking the legislature to create a commission to qodify the school laws of the state of Indiana, A similar bill was defeated by one vote in the 1953 general assembly. Such codification has long been needed in order to reduce the uncertainty created by piecemeal amendment of statutes affecting school corporations. Rural Churches PLEASANT MILLS Methodist Church Rev.

any century if you don't know about the troubles going round. If you met William Shakespeare and Julius Caesar and Buddha and Methuselah all at once, the one thing you could all talk about and under-

stand one another perfectly (provided you spoke the same language) is Trouble. Fun "We have nothing to fear except fear itself,” said a great American President. That is sometimes true, but only when there is nothing really to be afraid of. At any rate, ever since the human race began, people have been afraid both of what was likely to happen and what not likely to happen. They have been afraid of what was really there, and afraid of ghosts bom of their own imaginations. Fear is not all bad; when it is no more than knowing the danger exists, it is a good thing. It is good to know that poisons hurt, that there is a ditch across the highway, that the curve ahead is a sharp one. A healthy fear of such things is good and keeps us alive. But ’ there is fear which is paralysis, “butterflies in the stomach," first ebusin to panic; and this kind orYear only adds to whatever danger or trouble there may be. Now we can read, in Psalm 46, that poet’s pointed words about fear; and it is plain that men in his time had the same terrors as ourselves. One feels here the dread of violent change; and is not exactly that, under its current form of communism, what we are terrified of in our time? One feels in this Psalm also the dread of war; and in our times with the H-bomb and the C-bomb threatening us—not just the boys, that go to war, but every man, Woman and child on the planet—who can sleep.. with _an easf mind? LoMllntu Another kind of trouble is loneliness. Psalm 142 brings this out; the writer felt that no one was on his side, no one even cared whether he lived or died. He speaks too of the worst kind of loneliness—or one of the most painful kinds—that is to say, being in prison. We should remember always that there are in this world today an estimated eighty million refugees, that is to say, people who have literally no home and are, perhaps for*'the rest of their lives, strangers in strange lands, people who live behind barbed wire, people nobody wants. We cannot forget the millions of others who would perhaps rather be refugees, if they dared, than live where and as they have to live, as slaves of some police state, under the lash of taskmasters from whom there is no appeal. But even if all the cruel governments in the world were abolished tonight; even if all the millions of refugees found home and shelter; there still would be as there have always been, millions who could echo the Psalmist’s plaint, “No man cared for my soul.” Loneliness—the first rnen knew it, on dark hunted nights in a wilderness they did not understand and could not yet control; the last men will know it, on a dark hunted day among the skyscrapers fleeing vainly from the invisible poisons of the radioactive air. And in between the first men and the last, where is the human being who has not at some time or other felt himself deserted and *lone? God Is Our Help In Trouble The Psalm-writers knew all this; and yet they could sing. They sang because above all the troubles of time they kept touch with the eternal God. help," they said. How does God help the believer in time of trouble? He does not always help by keeping an umbrella of miracle over the heads of the saints. Not even Jesus was without tears and death. Head these Psalms to see bow God was their "help, tn ages past**- as he is “for years to come.” Men of faith, they were able to rise under their troubles, they found courage through contact with the God of all. They knew, as we sometimes forget, that God made this world, that it is still His, that above all earthly powers in His sovereign power; that in His own time. In His own way, His will be the victory. g No nation can rise higher than the character of its people. He that can have patience can have any thing he will. —Franklin.

Friends Os God By Mrs. J. R. Meadows How beautiful it is to be called a friend! There Is nothing too, good for our friends. No sacrifice too great in their ‘behalf. And it is well we do cultivate and keep in good repair the friendships we’ve made in life, for they like the houses we live in will soon go to rack and ruin under constant neglect. We would be lonely without friends. But it is even more beautiful to be called a “friend of God.” God. too. would be lonely without friends and so He has lovingly sought us by sending His Son Jesus into the world to be our Saviour. No sacrifice did God consider too great for His children. No sacrifice on our part should be considered too great in behalf of Hjm who has by His life and death made us friends of God. Don’t .fail to be in your church services next Sunday and every Sunday. Let us show to God that we are His friends.
