The Whole Armour "'Put on the whole amour -of God," said Paul,, in h'is bril liant metaphor to the Ephesians. Truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Word of God, and prayer . are the equipment of a soldier of Christ. Yet, in another place in Paul's writings, 'he quotes Christ as saying to him, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made" perfect in weakness." What do these words mean for us in 1950 A.D.? . , They mean that the answer to all life's problems, from the threat of Communism down to the insecurity of a job are as nothing when we have Christ on. our, side. These words of Paul and of Christ, tell us that it is through our wills' that we can save ourselves from all perils no matter how deadly or how great they may be.' It was when man's" will began to operate against God's will that man fell; and, it is only when we humble our own individual wills to Christ that we will have strength. "Account thyself to be an exile and a pilgrim upon the earth, if thou wilt stand rightly and wilt profit." In his "Imitation to Christ," Thomas a Kempis wrote that we must serve Christ so completely that we become fools in the eyes of men who are content with being nice, respectable people. True Christians are determined, zealous regenerated people, who fight with all their lives for Christ. When Christ talked about being poor in spirit, meek, humble, and being weak that He might be strong, he didn't mean that we were to be perverse monsters who shut ourselves up in cells to contem plate the niceties of spiritual union with God. , Christ meant that , we were ''to arm .ourselves heavily to fight in the world, and the chief piece of armour the shield should be faith. Wr: are to have ultimate faith in Him alonej' and are, to. be weak in the sense that, our ' individual wills' doht try to place other Gods before Him, but rather are tractable and greared to the will of God. '. : j f Modern man has falsely concluded that Christ was a Cas par Milquetoast, and that the real ultimate goal is material, gain. 'We had been trying to prove that until a flaw appeared in our plans over a certain Japanese town. Even professed Christians have become content with listening to sermons about an earthly Utopia, and go right on leading happy, ma terialistic, prideful lives happy, until that pride takes its inevitable tumble. , We have developed an immunity to Christian teachings about love, due principally to the same materialistic viev " point which is so popular among Stalin-tainted Communists. It Was the materialistic viewpoint which hastened the dis-, covery of atomic power, and it will be the materialistic view point with which we will struggle to save the world from . annihilation. Christianity has somehow been overlooked in its true meaning and replaced with platitudes about living a. good life and finding psychological relief in the opiate folds of meditation. This is sheer nonsense. Christianity was never such an escapist or formula-filled religion. To be sure, true Christians have the deepest and most happy peace to be found on earth, but. it is not because they have concluded that they are doing as well as can be expected and are going to Church every Sunday. '' . . The reason for their secure and contented outlook is that they have faith something which is rarely taught from the pulpits of our twentieth century churches. The triie church of the living Christ is not composed of insidious, goody-good people who are trying to buy their way" into heaven on their merits and good works. Quoting Paul again, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." The church has become a fossil rather-than a fighter. Due largely to the influence of socialogical and philosophical re formists, and aided by a taste of experimental psychology, the church has ceased to be a living, evangelistic army of God. . It is become, rather, an institution, draped in cultural prestige, political influence, and nauseous Utopianism. The church has in many cases set itself up as the haven and herald of social reform, when it should have continued to concentrate on the building and arming of Christian souls who are mighty and radical in the light of God's wisdom. There is to be a meeting of the Students lor Democratic Action Thursday night which will " consist of an informal discussion on whether -or not religious ideas have. political consequences. Dr. Arnold NashT Rev. Charles : Jones, and Mr. Claude Shotts will meet with the club at 9 o'clock in Graham Memorial for this, discussion, which will be open to all who are interested. The relation, between religion and politics is an important issue today, and. the question whether or not religious ideas have political coinsequences is a vital one. Christians already know the answer to this question, for Christians know that a little faith really does move mountains. But the spiritual revolution which the world needs to make the solution of its problems -more than theory will not come until more Sauls, overpowered by God, are changed into Pauls who can victoriously say: "Therefore being justi fied by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Mike McDaniel .. .... DICK JENRETTE C. B. MENDENHALL CHUCK HAUSER TAYLOR VADEN - James A. Mills Betty Ann Yowell. Judy Sanford, The other day(l) I was sitting in the Reserve Room(2) at the Library,(3) doing nothing in particular.(4) I noticed some books on the English 50(5) shelf. I took that course, or it took me, (6) last V, and since I never had- time to read any of the aforementioned (7) books while I was taking the course,(8) I thought it might be nice to. glance through a couple of translations of the many plays to which we were exposed. So I picked out a slim,(9) ex quisitely bound(lO) volume which explained "Antony and CIeopatra"(li) and , a thicker, more dogeared book which ex plicated) King Henry IV, I. The slim volume, it said on the title page,(13) was authored by someone I'd never heard of.(14) He must be a pretty hot char acter, though, for he had enough degrees(15) to run up a quite respectable fever. " On the third page(16)' was a list of books(17) to which the author admitted he had refer red(18) for references.(20) Then came the preface, in which he ? elucidated(20) his exposition of "A&C." The preface (21) ended on page CLIII.(22) Finally I 'got to the text(23) and I began to read it. Or I thought I was going to read it. But every time I began to un derstand) a sentence, I would see a little number after a word (25) and I'd have to stop, shift down to the bottom of the page, and read it. By the time(26) I'd finished reading 'it,(27) I'd forgotten what I'd read up above, so I'd have to start over. The material was all most in teresting, but I had other books which I had to read. So I re gretfully bore the famous pair(28) to their resting place. 'No grave(29) upon the earth shall clip in it a pair so fam ous.(30) ; The fellows who; write those books are plenty brainy, but to us(3) unitiates(32), it's all pretty baffling.

Christmas holidays was a grave, injustice to the profession, may; I say that I am sure that Mr. Taylor does not fully understand the position of a theater manager in a town such as Chapel Hill.

Edwards Hill who are left here over tfife v holidays by bringing them iiv Jt ', f erior grade pictures. But I'll ask you this, Mr. Taylor, if you were a producer of a major pi ture studio, would you allo your current major productions to be sent to a small town the ater when it is known that over two-thirds of is patrons" are not in town, and cannot patronize the theater? No, that's not smart business, and it certainly does not help the producer's potential box-office receipts. 1 Lei's lake a look. at the so talled "D" grade , pictures shown here in Chapel Hill dur ing the holidays. On Christ mas Day, the Carolina opened with the technicolor "A" pic lure, "Bagdad," simultaneously with ils opening in New York, and then followed "The Story ' of Seabiscuit" and "Challenge io Lassie," both "A's". ihal played here only a few weeks q after their premieres in New York.

But, Mr. Taylor, with the number of movies coming out of Hollywood each year, and at:; the rate that . pictures are played here in Chapel Hill, it, is not conceivable that Mr. Smith's diet of pictures can be top-grade every day; he has to play a poor one once in a while.

They are .'(being collected 'for two places of learning, Haifa Technological Institute ' and the Hebrew.Uni- "versity, - that' were not quite as fortunate as most of us at. Caro lina. ' ' ... These two institutions lost more than 40 per cent of their books during the war in Pal estine and are unable io get any more except through the generosity of the students who ..freely give their books io such f "drives as this. Our help is en iii the interests of peace in this world, so that -the -toys 3igH:n-iike European children come to know Americans-and like Americans. The toys would help them to forget the war and all its horrors. This book drive should be y&s overwhelmingly a success as- the toy drive "for it the Ut 6 democracy and make it generosity toward other stu dents who are striving to help democracy get a foot-hold in a trouble spot of the Middle East. Success would show that such a fine and forward-looking university as Carolina has . sef its aim at something worth while. Harry Lerner FEPC OPERATIONS Ediior: .' ' The successful operation of a federal Fair Employment Prac tices Commission probably does not rest anyway on the fines and imprisonments disliked by Sena tor Graham. The effective post war experience of FEPC's in half a dozen , states and cities shows that: (1) an adequately staffed commission provide with (2) ihe power io supoena wit nesses and gain access io em ployment records is equipped to aid employers and em ployees in working out satis- factory mutual adjustments. The quiet, adaptive methods of negotiation and education have dissolved irrelevant barriers to jobs without damage to; busi ness and with the immense gain of making real for minorities the, American ideal. of equal op portunity. ..; ' V In ihe mass production in; : dustries with which any FEPC is primarily concerned, ..." "ap-' pearance and personality" are i, no more essential io . efficient productivity ihan are ihe skin; color and religious affiliation masquerading behind those terms. An FEPC-aided extension of economic opportunity based on qualifications to do the job would not only increase Ameri can production but also impress the restless peoples of the world that democracy can provide jus tice, as well as liberty, for all.

On the ; contrary he was "full of fight and optimism quali ties somewhat less reflected by his legislative chiefs, who have been worried by a rising trend toward isolation and economy, popular resistance to higher taxes, a rebellious farm bloc, and a Dixie-Republican fili buster on civil rights. ' Truman began by congratu-. lating his Congressional leaders on the record of the last ses sion: . " ' . ; "On -the whole, I ; think". we; made a pretty good record, and : : I am pGnfidejit .we will keep! it intact during this season," he said. "JBy that; I mean we should get the rest of the 1948 plat form on the law books. I don't mean part of it I mean all. of it." . ,. . ; .' . Truman seemed most em-, phatic about enacting ihe Fair Employment Practices Bill and other parts of ihe civil rights program. Speaker Ray burn and House Majority Lea der McCormack predicted the House would act quickly and favorably on FEPC. How ever, Senate Leader Scott Lu cas, wearing his perennial look of a man with his finger -in a mousetrap, dourly re plied ihe odds were against Senate passage. "Well, I am not afraid of a filibuster," declared Truman, "If we must go down fighting, let's have it that way. We have got to keep our promises .to "the people. They will be -the best, judges of who is right 'jin-the next election." :, The President made., one in direct concession, however, to election-year politics. He did not emphasize a substantial boost in taxes. Instead, he list ened silently while leaders ex plained it would be wellnigh impossible to get a bill raising individual income taxes through Congress this year.' ' . He also criticized the "hyste ria" of big business for repeal ing wartime excise taxes on communications, transportation, luxuries, theatre admissions, etc. If excises are repealed, he insisted, there must be an off setting increase in corporation income taxes.

" Joe O'Mahoney of Wyoming, chairman, of the joint commit ;tee . on. the economic -report, is iikely to find during his probe of the steel industry. , In all the uproar over prices and .wages, little . has been said - about the high cost of .manage ment. For instance, General Motors' 57 top officers and directors were paid $3j048,000 jin salaries in 1948. But that was just the beginning. They also drew $5, 445,000 in cash bonuses and 22,000 shares of, stock as addi tional bonuses. Finally, the company paid $275,000 into a retirement fund for the same 57 executives all of which was added to the price of G. M. au tomobiles. Another industry ihat has been blaming labor for high prices is ihe building industry. Yet ihe labor cost for a mo dern, $12,000 home amounts to only $2,000 io $2,500. The cost of materials runs from : - $2,750 to $4,000, with another ;. $1,000 , for ihe average price of a lot, leaving a minimum . of $4,500 io cover, faxes, in- . surance and .management. Thus the biggest slice goes io - management and 1 profits. While the big steel companies put up a terrific battle against contributing' C toward pensions for steelworkers, , these - same companies were setting aside large sums for pensons for steel executives. U. S. Steel finances a $50,000per-year pension for each of its three top executives Olds; Voorhees and Fairless which does not include an ad ditional $13,000 a year for Olds, toward which he puts up $4 for every $7 by the company. Voo rhees will also collect an addi tional $20,000 each year after he retires, wTiile Fairless will draw $26,000 on top of his regular $50,000, though he puts up only $6. for the company's $10. In ' the " case of Bethlehem Steel;' A. B. Horner, its presi dent, will be ! able to retire in . 1961 at the' age of 65, on a pens- nn of $110,000 per year, fur- thermore: he' won't ha'vp tr onn- ' tribute a penny toward this fund. Yet in 1948, his working salary was $263,000. AlPgSjTlAla"1, Solution ot Yesterday's Puzzle 52;. Coumrtes " , r2 Female sheeb .DOWN i- 1. ' Poerp'. , 2. Looe'c" ' " .'Mayv;rfght " ,4.
