But the fact remains that even.- day millions of people are being cheated by high in terest rates, carrying charges, excessive profits—to say nothing of the flim flam artists, who talk people into giving them life savings to secure treasures which they will share.

Here we find the supreme motive for Christian be haviour. Saint Paul uses the word agape to describe the character of Christian love, and the motivations of behaviour. This kind of love is the kind manifested in Jesus, for God so loved the world that He gave His Son to die for sinful men. Saint Paul enumerates many things which a person could do, but declares that if it is without love they arp useless—worth nothing.

The millions who dislike bill boards deserve some consideration- j ries of crime, delinquency, sex loose ness, protest parades etc. How 7 can these things obtain in our world today? The simple answer is that that is what the mass of people buy, and producers and advertisers want to sell. If the public demanded something of better quality they would get it. Touching the pocket book may not win friends, but it will make people think and change practices. Where there is no market there will be no sales, and salesmen are looking for markets. In the final analysis, it is the mass of people who are responsible for the mess that the world finds itself in today. business. Millions of dollars are spent daily on nostrums widely advertised, which may not do any harm, but do no good whatsoever. Often, people fail to see a doctor because they feel they cannot afford the fee. Then pay far more to quacks for remedies that are worthless. Hie vast majority of doctors are men of fine character, honest, dedi cated, and concerned about their pa tients. If consulted, they would tell the patient whether or not an advertised drug is helpful. The worst part of this unscrupulous business is that it is the people who can least afford it who are the bait for suckers. So, the government has to step in and do its best to pro tect the people, who will not intelligent ly protect themselves. Doctor fees are much better and safer investments. faith strong enough to move moun tains, I may give all that I have to the poor, I may give my body to be burned, but if I have not love I am nothing." He then enumerates some qualities of this Divine love: "It is patient, kind, not envious, never boastful or conceited, never rude or selfish, delights in the truth, keeps no score of wrongs, does not rejoice in the misfortunes of others". Then he closes with an evaluation of love "love will never come to an end. There are three enduring things: Faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is LOVE. And he is talking about a distinct ive kind of love, not the sort of mushy sentimental feelings emanating from Hollywood, and help up daily in books, magazines, movies and TV Shows. It is little wonder that the world is in the •ness that it is, when the finest, best, and holiest of man's endowments and possibilities are prostituted to base mo tives and self interest and destructive ness. From first to last the Bible story is about Ckx}, who is perfect love, In action. His concern for every man upon the earth climaxed In the cross. "God so loved that he gave. 'Today, individuals, groups, states, nations, races, each seeks its own, thus contradicting its own pro fessions of belief. For what Is done with out love profiteth nothing. America has given away billions, and earned more hatred than respect and love. Why? Be cause the world has sensed that political expediency and self-concern has moti vated our actions. Our gifts have not spelled out a deep concern, a concern born in love.

Opportunity remains the only gift America can give its citisens. How ever, Dean Inge says, "We now demand to be personally conducted through life, with all the risks taken by some one else." Today, we demand our nation give us wealth, comfort, security, protection against loss, no matter how stupid, laxy, careless or incompetent we may be. Of course, govern ment cannot give these things to others unless it first takos them from you who earned them. Government owes us only OPPORTUNITY.

M% of the world's population envies your opportunity. Use it. YouH never receive a greater gift WASHINGTON REPORT by Congressman James T. Bruyhill Americans have a great deal of difficulty imagining famine and its ravages upon a whole population. It is true that we have privation and poverty in this country. How ever, the vision of massive hunger and starvation is for eign to Americans and some thing outside their experience. The bounty of American food production is so great and our distribution system is so ef fective that the problem we have developed is surplusses rather than shortages. Nevertheless, hunger still stalks some parts of the world and the probability of starva tion on a huge scale is on occasion a very real prospect. This problem is particularly accute in India, that huge and teeming subcontinent whose problems are as vast as its geography. Last week, the Congress came face to face with the issue of what this country might do to help ward off almost certain disas ter for the Indian people. Since India became indepen dent after World War 11, she has not neglected her agri cultural production. In 15 years, food production has been increased by 75 per cent. Even so, India's population in creases at an even faster rate and the country has been dependent upon outside help for many years. Added to this problem, In dia has suffered from a na tural disaster.

Last year, in large areas of India, the rains did not come. The blight of drought spread over the land and disaster seemed sure to follow. As we understand the problem, the resulting famine is sufficiently great that its victims could well number in the millions. An additional six to seven milion tons of grain will be required if the Indian people are to meet this crisis and a world-wide alarm has been sounded. It is hooed that many coun tries either with food surpas ses of their own or with the means to buy food will con tribute to this emergency. The President has pledged under authority he already has been given by the Congress that the United States will contri bute 3-1-2 million tons be tween now and next Decem ber. Canada has already stocks and it seems likely that other countries will follow. The United States effort is part of an international un dertaking that has three gen eral purposes. First, is the program of actual agricultur al commodities. The second is an effort to combat mal- O lIUUIJ ALL-WEATHER tStll lM ALL-WEATHER "f DM 1 POWER CUSHION 1 0 • Gnat acoaoay tin lot MBfMIK, mMm»7 aOar Beet pipalir llliwl *N fat al • Ffamt MW-car tir* you cu biiy-will COM > .

As I have pointed out ear lier, the President already possessed the legislative au thority to make this emerg ency commitment Neverthe less, he felt it should be done with Congressional endorse ment and cooperation. The Congress responded quickly and with virtual unanimity. Very frankly, the lack of argument over this proposal by no means indicates that the Congress is unanimous in its feeling that the food we have already sent to India has been used effectively. Serious doubt exists that it has been [ used properly for hung ry people. There are also hungry people. There are also disturbing questions about whether the Indians, locked in the vice of old customs, are doing enough to help themselves. The country had also become embroiled in military conflict with Pakis tan which it could ill afford. Our reations with India have not been uniformly smooth. The government of that country has often been criti cal of American policy with out proposing any sound al ternatives in a world con- { Quick Service Kerosene -16.9 Cash & Carry t Service Distributing Co., Inc. { Highway 601 Mocksville, N.

It is imperative now, that India takes greater strides to meet its overpopulation problem and the threat that eventually mass starvation will be the means for en. forcing popuation control if positive steps are not taken. All these things are gigan tic and perplexing problems for India and for the rest of the free world. They are matters that affect the long, term consequences of peace and stability in our world and the world our children will know. Yet, the need for food in India is immediate and it is rapidy approaching the point of desperation. Un der the circumstances, this country has only one choice to act quickly and promptly. It was this kind of action that was taken last week.
