Friday Octobei* 15, 1948 The Cedarville A Republican Newspaper Published Every Friday by THURMAN M ILLER , JR. Entered as second class matter October 31, 1887* at the Postof- lice at Cedarville, Ohio, under A c t o f Congress o f March 1879, Member—National Editorial As­ sociation; Ohio Newspaper Asso­ ciation; Miami Valley Press As­ sociation. Editorial ST ILL SA LLY ING Pictures in the papers show “ Axis Sally’' coming down the gangplank from a ship that brought her bade to native shores to face charges o f treason to her country during the war. She was “ Sally” when the war was on, talking against her country on the German radio; now she has sallied home— still sallying.------ SUDDEN EX IT 'Way down in South America somewhere, attendants in a morgue were startled speechless when a corpse that had been lying with other corpses fo r two days, sat up and asked in perfectly good Spanish what was going on. By this time the attendants are rounding Baffin Bay. LONGING FOR LONGS Louisiana's longing for Longs is bearing fruit. One of the Long tribe has been elected governor, and a son o f th late ‘•Ivingfish” Huey Long is a candidate fo r sen­ ator, with assurance of election. The people o f Louisiana are Long suffering. I T COMES HIGH Even accidents come higher, like deaths. I t costs 30 per cent more to settle an accident claim than it did in 1941. I f you are planning to have an accident, bet­ ter have it pre-dated fo r fender- fixing, fancy radiator, grills and doors that are also runningboards come awfully high these days, A R E THESE SIGNS? August fu r sales are off nearly 50 per cent; 1I1C predicts a buy­ ers' strike; price-slashing tire sales in every window; shirts at half price; radio sales in every shop— are these signs o f anything in particular? W E ST ILL HURRAH On th front page o f a city news­ paper, we counted five headlined stories about bigwigs. A movie actor I:a^. bought a show place in Hollywood. That got a 48-point headline and six inches o f type. England’s royr^ family is to tour New Zealand next year, so the American newspaper’s hurry to give the announcement big space on the front page. A marajah o f India, whatever that is, is spend­ ing fabulous sums in Paris, which inspires 23 inches o f type by ac­ tual measurement. A lowlands queen is bowing out, and she gets a lioness’ share o f Page 1. We go fo r things like that. HE ALSO LISTENS I t is said that Thomas E. Dew­ ey listens to every word a visitor says. No public person ever was so attentive to the opinions o f other people. Even talkless Cal- via Coolidge often was listless as a listener, and FDR seldom heard anything anybody said unless he himself had invited the person to speak by asking a question. COMMUN ITY P L A Y Perhaps nothing o f recent ori­ gin has done more to put zest in­ to community life than softball. Drive from town to town on sum­ mer evenings, and you see throngs at the games. Everybody takes part. Rooters are legion. The “ noise of battle” can be heard for blocks. I t is a healthy program. SELL ING BOOKS The Russian embassy in Wash­ ington is selling its textbooks on American subjects. The Red pol­ icy is to keep people ignorant. On­ ly the ignorant can be driven. Russian school books, under the Soviet regime, deal only with the greatness of Stalin. “ Where there is no vision, tht people perish.” I T IS ELUS IVE A glaring headline says that Truman, says prosperity is not assured. Wfis prosperity ever as­ sured? Just when? And who ; - sured it? Prosperity is a re o f a correct balance between - ply and demand, between indus­ trialist and mechanic, between producer and consumer. I f that balance gets out o f whaqk there Is no prosperity. A situation that is anything but prosperity is sometimes called prosperity.Noth- ing could be more incorrect. It is a bit elusive, this thing ve call prosperity, but its analysis Is simple. A N EW DUSTPAN Somebody has invented a new dustpan. I t has a ridge to keep dirt from rolling o f f after it has been swept up. I t has legs to hold it at the right angle. The, maker expects the world to beat a path to his door. HARVEST MOON SCRIPTURE: X.eviticiw 19 M3; Dcu teronomv 5—6: Mathew 22 3-1-49. DEVOTIONAL READING; isa. 19:7-14. Life and Law Lesson for October 17, 1948 Dr. Foreman X rGU, friend reader, probably I know less about what is in the books cf Exodus, Leviticus, Num­ bers and Deuteronomy than any ether part of the • Bible. These are the sections mostly rilled with laws— “ Thou shalt . . . Thou shalt not.” You e ither skip these entirely or you say to yourself, “ Well, that has nothing to do with me.” If so, you have been missing one of the most interesting sections of the Bible. Some of these old laws are dead; but even a mummy can be interest­ ing. Call them dead if you like; you still can learn a great deal about the times and the minds and the customs of those far-off days by reading the laws which governed people’s daily lives. But it is hardly fair to call them dead. Rather, they have been honorably retired. That is to say, they were admirable laws in their time and place, and God's will: was learned through them, * O * The Living Soul of Law T HERE are two ways of looking at any law, or you might say there are two sides of every law, the inside and the outside, the soul and the body as it were. The body, the outside, is the letter of the law; the inside or soul: of the law is the spirit or principle of the law. The body of the law, like the body of a man, Ties; it is not in­ tended to live on and on. But the soul of the law (if it has one; some don’ t) lives forever. . Take, for instance, that law in Lev, 19:9, 10. The body of it, the letter, says: Do not be efficient in getting in your crops. Leave some wheat in the field. Leave some grapes on the vine. Today that sounds rather stupid, on the face of it, and no good farm­ er would pay attention to it. But look at the spirit of that law: the wheat and the grapes were to be left for “ the poor and the stranger." There was then no Red Cross, no bureau of displaced persons, no traveler’s aid, no family service, no social security, none of our many modern agencies for the underpriv­ ileged. Those who had property were bidden to have a care for those who had none. The duty of society to see that no one starves, the duty of all to help those in need, that is the living soul of this law, and it still breathes in laws of the 20th century—laws of old age assist­ ance, maternity assistance, pen­ sion plans and so forth. • The living soul of the Old Testa-1 ment laws can be expressed this ' ’way: The love of justice and the1 ■ justice of love. The best and wisest I ilaws today are those which give: this, same spirit its. fullest, and most; ;practical form. ; • • • 1 ; Jesus’ Last Word ,/T 'H E Jews figured out that there A were in all 613 separate com­ mandments in all the laws com­ bined. They used to have interest­ ing debates as to which of all the 613 commandments was the most important. They came to Jesus with that - well-worn question.. Jesus quot­ ed only two laws, one from Dent. 6:5 and the other from Lev. 19:18. Love God, love your neighbor, he said. Ail the other laws depend on these two. j To this day, Christian thinkers! are not entirely agreed as to just: how far Old Testament laws may be binding on-Christians. But all are agreed on two points: The basic’ principle of these laws is always good, and that fundamental principle1 is love. [ *. * * Love Is Not Repealed T HIS is what Christians mean when they say that the laws of God are eternal. We do not mean that every law between the covers of the Bible can and should be used as the law of our land today. What we do mean is that the spirit of these laws is immortal, for the spirit is love, and love never has been repealed. { Show me a law which helps the ’ strong at the expense of the-weak,: a law which encourages cheating and selfishness and fighting, and I will show you a bad law. Show me a law which encourages and helps men to deal fairly with one another » and to live together in peace, and I will show you a good law. Every [ law that helps you love your neigh- ■ boy is a good law; indeed there is ’ something divine about it, for God is Love. i (Copyright by the International Council oi Religious Education on behalt of 46 , Protestant denominations.
