READING; John 8:31- ONE MAN RULE For many hundreds of years world struggled to free himself from a situation that always pre­ vailed where one man could rule all other men. Like the "eaustere map,” that Jesus used to illus­ trate the parable of the talents” who took up where he had no laid down,” tyrants held sway throughout the ages. Then “ our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are crea­ ted equal.” But in less-than two centuries that nation finds itself in the thralldom of one man, even more so in its effects than ever existed in the middle ages with its slaves and serfs. How can one man dictate to 1-10 million people what they shall do, whether they shall eat and whether then’ gov­ ernment can thwart his evil pur­ poses? BEWARE BICYCLES Pass the schoolliouse and you are amazed at the number o f bi­ cycles in racks. While big yellow buses carry a lot o f the young­ sters to and from school, yet the bicycle continues to be a common carrier. Bicycles are wobbly, oft­ entimes, and present a hazard both to their riders and to motor­ ists using the same streets. A bi­ cycle rider frequently does an un­ expected thing, like turning off suddenly, or maybe falling o ff! There are goad riders and some that are not so good, and motor­ ists must keep both kinds in mind. The twoppassengcr bike presents a double hazard. Safety demands that every driver o f ev­ ery car and truck do everything possible in the way o f care and caution about bicycles. Bicyclists are often as careless as motor­ ists, remember. PENSIONS Senator Taft asks: “ If steel workers are entitled to $100 a month pensions why aren’t wait­ ers, the butcher, baker and candlestick maker entitled to $100 a month pensions?” Ans­ wering that question with any word but "yes” would be very difficult. If the pension becomes universal shouldn’t Dr. Town­ send head up the department? It was his idea, remember, and re­ member also, how many folks laughed it ? ” ALL IS WELL All is well again. We read that crickets have ears in their front legs. We’d been worrying about where they had ’em. SPENDING In case you are interested, and have any concern about where your money goes, these statistics may be helpful. They were taken from the 1948 record, and this is is how we spent our money— your money, that is. By billions, which you are used to be now, it went like this: For crime, 15 billions; for nation­ al defense, 12 ; for liquor, 10 bil­ lions; for foreign relief, 7; for automobiles, 7; for recreation,?; fo r education, 4 billions; fo r cos­ metics, 2; fo r chewing gum, 2 billion, fo r religion and public welfare, 1 1-2 billions. There are the figures, in black and white—a little blacker than white—and you are permitted in free America to make your own comment, but that’s about all you will get done about it. MORE FEED Not only locally but nationally there is more feed, which in time, i f not at the minute, means more food. By this time the world knows that, the corn crop was the biggest and best in many years, if not in all history. This means a lot more feed for hogs and cat­ tle. Under the urge o f higher pro­ duction there will be more hogs, too; and more cattle. This process requires considerable time, but has a habit of running along, you know, and it won’ t be long until food scarcities may be a thing of the past . . .for Americans, we mean; food enough for the starv­ ing world may require a much longer* time. Up to the ptesent there has never been a time when, the whole world had enough food. GETTING YOUR SHARE? The bakei ’3 claim that the av­ erage American will eat 71 dough­ nuts in 1950, or about six a month. Breaking that down to dunking, A . A. gets only a doughnut and a half a week, or a mere nibble a day—hardly enough to hold while you dip in the coffee! Multiplied by 150,000,000 the 71 doughnuts run into as many figures as a pretzel, hut on a you-and-me bas­ is the share is a bit skimpy, don’t you think?

A number of bills have already been introduc­ ed, or are soon to bp offered, in' Congress-for th is‘ purpose. T h e r e a r e two k ind s of problems with living things. One is the kind of problem caused by its growing too fast; the other is the problem caused by not grow­ ing fast enough. The early church had mostly the first $tir.d of prob­ lem. At any rate it was taking in a 1 o t of members whom t h e cider Christians f o u n d strange. At first all Christians had been Jews; r.o one thought of anything else. But in Anti­ och, as we have seen, and e v e n more as the church Forcman spread westward around the edge of the Mediter­ ranean, the Christian churches were filling up with r.on-Jewish mem­ bers, just as they are today. It is no secret that in the Mason­ ic order there are 33 degrees. It is not possible for a new member to be taken right into the 33rd de­ gree the first night. Everybody has to go through the lower degrees which are called the Blue Lodge. Now many persons in that early church thought of the Jewish faith as a sort of Christian Blue Lodge. All the very earliest Chris­ tians had been: members of that lodge; why shouldn’t every one else be the same? So when Paul and Barnabas came back from that historic missionary tour of Cyprus and points north, telling about the large number of new Christians, these old-style Christians shook their heads. Paul was by-passing the Blue Lodge; he was taking in members who had not gene through the prop­ er preliminaries, the first degrees. *• * * What Makes a Man A Christian? P AUL KNEW a real Christian when he saw one. So did Barnabas. And the two of them knew, right down in their souls, that they had seen real conver­ sions, genuine cases of persons coming out of pagan darkness into Christian light, without being Jews at all, even for five seconds. The vital question was simply this: What makes a Christian? The old-style Christians, who had been Jews themselves and still were, for all their Christian faith, said: Unless you are circumcized and keep all the laws of Moses, you cannot be saved—you cannot even begin to be a Christian. Paul and Barnabas—not alone, but as spokes­ man for many others in the church —said: You are saved by faith. The Jerusalem Christians said: Yes, you arc saved by faith, AND by keeping the law o f Moses. Paul said: you are saved by faith, period. *> * « How They Settled It T HE \VA\ that problem was settled is a model for all Christian churches with problems on their hands. First of all, the argument was brought out into the open; it was not a whispering cam­ paign. Second, it was settled after giving both sides plenty of oppor­ tunity for full discussion in public. Third, it was settled not informally but by a church council, a group of representative leaders, not by a simple majority vote of all church members indiscriminately. Fourth, it was settled (as the reader cf Acts l if may see) by appeals to fact and to Scripture. Finally, once the leaders had made up their minds, the church at large accepted their decision promptly, without fur­ ther bickering. This has been the pattern for the Christian church ever since, though alas! it has not always been followed. There would have been fewer church splits if the example of the early church had been more ser­ iously taken. * ♦ * Faith and Obedience E s sen t ia l l y , that first great church council decided on the side of Paul and Barnabas. But they did not throw the Old Testa­ ment overboard. The moral law was as good as it ever was. But the council showed, once and for all, the true relations between Christian faith and obedience to the law of God. There is just one doorway to the Father’s house, the door­ way of faith. We do not have to keep the law of Moses, or any set of laws, first. We are saved BY obedience. We are not saved FROM obedi­ ence, But we are saved FOR obe­ dience. A Christian's obedience to God is not a way of earning God's good-will. It is a grateful response to God’s grace. And that makes all the diffeemce in the world.

R*!eared b] WHU Feature*.* PRISONERS Two prisoners broke out of the Greene .county jail Friday. - They slugged a turnkey and fled on foot. Deputy C. P. Mahanna identi­ fied the escapees as Zettie *Ad­ kins, 23, South Solon, and Wil­ liam W. Black, 20, Xenia. This is the third time, said Mahanna, that Adkins has broken jail in less than two years. Mahanna said Adkins broke out of the Fairborn village jail. He was recaptured a month la­ ter. Adkins was serving time to May 10 , 1951, for five misdeam- eanors; Black was waiting grand jury action on a charge of break­ ing and elitering in a Xenia hard­ ware store. The break came when another prisoner was handing trash to Mahanna. The escapees rushed The W iM lIesI Derby Of 1980 the door.

Some 2700 other Lincoln Day meetings have been scheduled across the nation to start the Republican Party’s 1950 campaign to capture control of Congress. The Republican National Com­ mittee held its mid-winter ses­ sion in Washington early last- week.

" President Truman’s attempt to side-step the use of the Taft- Iiurtley Act in the coal shortage cmergney was blocked last week by John L. Lewis’s refusal to a- gree to’ abide by the decision of the unofficial fact finding hoard the Chief Executive wanted to name. As a result, Mr. Truman has been compelled to use the Taft-Hartley Act and name a three-man hoard to meet the situ­ ation. If a settlement is not reach­ ed, the Attorney General is ex­ pected to go into Federal, Court and ask for an injunction within the next day or so. Whether this will produce the coal the nation needs, no one knows. In the mean­ time, transportation and industry are being seriously crippled, and many homes are without fuel. Prompt, action by the President weeks ago could have averted the present crisis. ' The House last Thursday pass­ ed a bill to increase many postal rates, some—including post cards —by 100%. Postage on many magazines and enwspapers will be increased 50%, with the cost being passed on to subscribers, of course.

Take a look at ^vhat’s going on, as well as what has gone on, and what is 1 planned for the future. Who is running things? You? What do we mean by “ liberty and free­ dom?” Just what is “ statism?” Are we broken out with it? W'hat’s the cure for it? More treatments o f the same? That’s the only remedy that is being tried. Are you satisfied with your doctor and how he is handling the case? RESPONSIBILITIES There were 29items listed by President Truman when he ad­ dressed the two houses of con­ gress that he called “responsibi- bilities” that America has. Most of them had to do with benighted lands which he thinks America should foster and develop to bring to the peoples “ a more abandant life.” It is significant that every one of these responsibilities calls j for expenditure of huge sums of money which,, you arid I and all the other you and I’s have a “ responsibility” to supply. ■ I?
