Searching for God
(Pageant Magazine, 1948)

Like the Penitent Thief who was crucified next to Jesus, Ernest Gaither (1924 – 1947), also found salvation during the closing moments of his life. While biding his time on death row, Gaither was taught a neat little trick that all doubters should try, God showed up and Gaither learned of his worth.

The Gathering Storm
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1948)

This is the Pathfinder book review for the first in Winston Churchill’s monumental six-volume account of the struggle between the Allied Powers in Europe against the Axis during the Second World War. Told from the unique vantage point of a British prime minister, it is also the story of one nation’s heroic role in the fight against fascist tyranny. When the other volumes in the series were completed, in 1953, Churchill was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his effort.

Free College?
(Pathfinder Magazine, 1948)

The concept of a free college education paid for by the Federal Government was not the brain child of the Vermont Marxist Bernie Sanders, but an idea that was briefly pursued by the education advisers of U.S. President Harry S Truman:


“Today the average American of 20 – 24 years of age has completed 12.1 years of schooling, an all-time high…Last week the President’s Commission on Higher Education issued a report aimed at pushing the average still higher. It urged that free public education be extended through the first two years of college.”


Even as early as 1894 socialism was recognized as wishful thinking.
