And the most pop ular--politirally—in 1956 is in the j field of so-railed social security. Look at the record. First—A'hill to provide disabili ty benefits to persons over 50 and to reduce the retirement a>fe of women to 62. Disability isn’t de fined. Total cost of the bill—esti- at S6OO million per year— would vise rapidly. Second Old age assistance Started in 1936 as a transition, in terim move to care for needy, aged folks not eligible for retirement in surance. It’s now proposed to step up federal payments. Estimated cost-r-1957 —$185 million. Forty six senators have endorsed it. ' Third—Retirement for railroad workers—increased benefits and income tax.deduction for employee withholding tax Es timated cost to taxpayers—s7s mil lion 'plus higher payroll taxes on railroads. If extended to non-rail road employee contributions under social security, a natural extension cost to Uncle Sam and the general taxpayer—6oo to $755 million an nually. Fourth—Government employees. Liberalized retirement benefits pro posed to cost over SSOO million an i nually. Concurrent proposals to raise compulsory retirement age above 70—while reducing retire ment age of women (in private employment) to 62. This—despite the shocking revelation that gov ernment retirement fund now suf fers $13.5 billion deficit—according to House Appropriations Commit tee members—because of past fail ures to make agreed upon federal government contributions. Tn 1945 it was expected that re tirement benefits under social se curity would cost $1.5 billion in i 196!). Senate Finance Committee now estimates cost at over $8 bil lion—due to past election-year benefit increases. Shocked? Sii are many mem bers of Congress and high admini stration officials. Social security give-aways can block budget balance—right now a. nlp-and-tuck fight. Five major ap propriation bills have passed the House. Totals—sllß million more than budget requests. Increase due primarily to last years’ deficits in appropriating necessary funds for government: employees’ retirement. Conservatives in Congress be lieve a strong White House driv > is essential to balance budget—in cluding strong hacking for Hoover Commission recommendations. Mr Eisenhower’s announcement has strengthened his hand, .hut— and this is political—it has also in creased the determination of spend ers to prevent budget balance and tax reduction —two important pres idential goals.

Upon this historical fact is built the Christian Church, the entire structure of Christian Doctrine, and the certain hope of the believer for eternal life. “If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain” (I Corinthians 15:14). If Christ be not risen from the dead. He is hot the Son of God, with j power (Romans 1:4), life has no j meaning, no purpose, either side of ] the grave; if Christ be not risen from the dead, the Christian Church is a hoax and a fraud. But now is Christ risen from the dead, ascended into heaven, seated at the Housework Easy Without | Nagging Backache !

A well-known New York infidel tells us thut all that is left of Jdsus of Nazare.th is 4 handful of dust in a Syrian tomb. Christians rtiay tisk him, “Where is the body?" They tell me that in some places today a'man cannot be convicted of murder unless the dead body is produced; neither can any rtian ac cuse the Gospefl writers of fraud unless he can produce the body. If Christ he not risen from the dead, why did not the Romans and Jewish authorities come forward with the <lead body of Jesus? They did not because they could not. The alternative to accepting the fact of the Resurrection is to be lieve that a few demoralized, dis heartened disciples, with the as sistance of two women, ov?rpower ed the Roman soldiers detailed to guard the tomb, rolled away the heavy stone from the door, spirited away the body of Jesus (through a heavily populated area) and dis posed of it in such away that it was never discovered by His enem ies, though they must have made a frenzied search. The Bible ac count of the Resurrection is much more credible. The Bible account even adds, a touch of humor—when the Angel of the Lord had rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb, he demonstrated his scorn for this man-made attempt to shut up the Son of God by sit fDUI* 1 rest B uYS I ---rs I O VCR 14 DCLTA MODUS AND SIZCS-BOTH CAS AND Oil 1 fOR CUSTOM-TIT INSTALLATION. in floor out of sight ond heots a small home automatically, effi ciently ond •conomically. pendoble model do oil the work.

If Chriit be not risen from the dead, where was His.nody ? Had the disciples stolen it? Why?, They hod nothing to fain in a maJ terial way from the of Christ. The Resurrection of Christ placed upon a burden and responsibility that sent them to the ends of the known world, en during hardships, facing death. If Christ be not risen from the dead, what is the explanation, say, of the courage of Peter at Pentecost? Would He and the other disciples have stood faithful, even unto death, to a religion they knew was based upon a lie? Writing about 25 years after ward, Paul tells us that after His Resurrection, “Christ was seen of above five-hundred brethren at. once: of whom the greater part re-> main to the present” (I Corinth ians 15:6).
