Oldsters do not welcome winter as do the young sters. It is their time, when the vigor and exuberant spirit of youth meets the challenge of winter, with sledding and skiing and other winter sports. N* ! ■ jS 3$ Winter is a time when nature seems bereft of life. Trees are bare, and their branches wind-swept. But even there is a beauty, and hidden in the earth, life is just waiting for the breath of spring, and the warmth of the sum mer to bring that life out in the green ery of the fbrest, and the bloom of flow ers. Winter is always accepted and lived with in hope and faith of spring and summer .to come.

This inwatanct on the part of senators and newsmen have the effect of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and serves the American people poorfy. We some times wonder why the Communists em ploy spies when they can learn about all that they want to know through news media. If the men who are now so bitterly criticising the President and those who aie doing the fighting, had the responri bility and the power to act, they would be singing a different tune. Their ques tions do not impress us with a sense of their sincerity or patriotism. ied in the Scriptures. Reports from cor porations reveal greater and greater pro fits; at the same time the millions of consumers pay increased prices. Higher wage demands create the same situa tion. One group puts pwonurc upon ano other group, which In turn must put pressure upon another, and we have a merry-go-round on which we all ride and all of us sirffer. The methods thus employed, with its lack of reverence for human life, ig nore or defies the moral and ethical principles in which we profess to believe. Old fashioned honesty get an indulgent pat on the back and a knowing smile which says: "Of course, you are nice to look at, but you won't work in busi ness." And that is why we are in the mess that we are in. While we think that we are breaking laws with impunity, we are, in truth, breaking ourselves upon them. It It Winter have its counterpart in human experi ence. There is a winter in all of life, and indeed a time of darkness for those who have no faith and hope of coming spring and summer. Sickness, death, sorrow, hurt tragedy appear in life. At the moment we are living in the winter of Vietnam, and the everpresent danger of world war and the destruc tion of two thousand years of achieve ment. We have been trying to prepare for this kind of winter with every kind of implement of war, but it is becoming increasingly doubtful that this is the kind of preparation to meet this kind of winter. The President, and other lead ers, are making every possible effort to meet this situation with reason rath er than guns. We may be too deeply involved now to find a peaceful solu tion; but, let us have faith and hope, along with our best efforts for peace, that spring and summer will come. The only way In which a man can fulfill! the law of his own nature is to five of himself to others, and in turn receive help from others. This is the law of mutual reciprocity, a law which Is written into the universe and in man. The Church was created by God in Christian is bound to share his life with with others. If his neighbor is ignorant he must share his knowledge^which means that every child in a Christian community must have the opportunity for education, and employment enabling him to earn a living. It means that the Church itself must become a redempt ive force, through love and self-sacri fice. No matter what the race, color, or natural origin, those who have wealth, talent, or power must use all to life those on lower levels to higher levels of thought and life. Feelings of kindness, love, sympathy must be trans lated into action-and this land of shar ing with Christ is costly. Jesus Christ, that is a purposeful and mutual interchange of life, both the in dividual and society might attain a full ness of Hfe. It is a fact that no man liveth or dieth to himself. We are so made that we need each other. God gave Christ Jesus, and Christ gave Himself that man might be redeemed. Christ Efctab ished His Church to carry on His work and be a redemptive force in the world. So, the Christian, by nature, and by the command of Goi, must become a part of Christ's own redemptive worts. This means that the individual and the Chufth as a society divinely endowed, must share, not only the benefits which Christ bestows upon us, but His witness to the Ml abaft OMI MM; tfnf mn.fi s need IPMP redemiptione This Week's 60 SECOND SERMON By Fred Dadge "WE PUSH FOB FBOGftESS WITHOUT PUSHING PEOPLE ABOUND" W.

The actions of the Congress and the Pre sident are constantly criticized and reviewed, but the same objectivity does not always extend to decisions of the Su preme Court. There is a con siderable body of opinion that the Court's opinions are sacro sanct. Reapportionment presents the most crucial questions of Constitutional government and representative democracy.

TCe hnplwhentatioß of court decrees to achieve Court doctrines on the subject of representation thrusts the ju diciary into the thick of po litical decisions. At the same time, the "model State leg islature" now must run coun ter to the Federal plan for Congress. The States are no longer permitted to pattern their legislative bodies after Congress, i. e_, one house elec td on the basis of population and the other house elected on the basis of geographical units. A bicameral State leg islature must conform entire ly tc the "one-man, one-vote" theory. Indeed, the idea of "one man. one-vote" itself was challenged in a dissenting opinion by Justice Harlan in the Gray decision. He said that the idea has "never been the universally accepted po litical philosophy of England, the American colonies or the United States". He comment ed that this concept over looks the need of rural areas to have a voice in govern ment. When all is said, however, other problems confronting Congress are likely to work against Congressional action on reapportionment. Consider- ing all the factors involved, it is difficult to believe that any Constitutional Amend ment in this field will pass at this session. i ■ -. - j § j x ? { Quick Service Kerosene -16.9 Cash & Carry $ i Service Distributing $ STATION NO. 2 iftH * { Highway 601 Mocksvilie, N.
