But it is the' four-year period be tween 1956 and 1960 that is now a period of' some uncertainty, ' . . : Vie President Richard' Nixon is the- favorite-, among odds-takers tp be the Republican nominee in 1956. On .the-Democratic side, Adlai Stev enson, is fan out front. ' Chief Jus tic Warren, 'whom some say, is Ike's first choice, is not given the inside .track because of the convic tion of many that he really meant it when he , said he would not run under) any circumstances. ' Stevenson, is. far anead of Harri man and Kefauver, despite what some people say, and. is almost a sum shot to get the' Democratic nomination, at Chicago next sum mer. Therefore, it . appears that the rac in November of next year will be between' Nixon and Adlai. But of the tw, Adlai's prospects are better wan Nixon's. ; There are many Republicans, on Capitol. Hill, among group of Nixon's 6.O.P. - Senate relations, who think the party nomination should go to an outsider; . By outsider; they mean someone who could capture the votes of both Democrats and Republicans like Ike v did a somewhat non-controversal figure, who- had not been involved I in partisan politics. The reason I they want this kind of candidate is' the Churches of Christ in U.S.A. contradict sharply any stories that we are overly ma terialistic, and prove that more, and more , people are . seek ing God as a source' of in spiration ; and guidance. Over 97.000.000 Americans now attend church regularly, an increase of 2.8 percent.over last year. Amer icans contributed more ifhan $2,000,000,000 to their churches in 1955 alone. Sunday and Sab bath school registrations are at a record 37,623,530, ; . ,', And this religious growth la not just "Sunday habit We, as a nation, are turning to Bible reading, extending devotional thought beyond mere observance of the Sabbath. In the case of 1 the Revised Standard Version of the' Bible alone, which was flrsf issued only three years ago thiat month, no' less than 3,620,829: copies! have already been sold, a figure that is rising steadily toward the tour million mark. This major .revision. . of ' the Bible, in clear, lucid, present dajp English, has sold at the rate of more than one copy every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day, for 36 months! A phenomenal record, set against rising church mem bership, it underlines that press ing need for faith in our trou ' bled world. . The RSV, Bible was the result of a 15-year project by 37 lead ing church scholars (with , larger consultation committee) to provide a work that corrected errors and inaccuracies that had become disturbingly evident in many English translations. Its ultimate publication , in the Fall of 1952 was the occasion of nationwide observances by min isters of many denominations. This religious revival is grow ing i in every . community in America, , and Its accelerating pace indicates that million more will be turning to-the Scriptures for hope in these critical times. ares meeting' in Chicago. Those who have never covered a conven tion may not reaiisa that, this geo graphic factor has a strong: effect in conventions but it does. , Had net' Adlai' Stevenson's' able to go to-work in the Democrat ie eenventien ef 1962 and prevent-a split' and' walkout, the Democrats might still b split' today. . .'

K the convention is changed to an other location, farther fi-om Nixon's home ground, it may react' to his disadvantage. , In this respect, it is to Steven son's advantage that the Democrat arid Chicago- that- went into action: and saved, tae convention from" a breakup three vearsago. ;: - , ' Democrats di'not expect another sectional fight at next year's con ventien. There re many reasons' for . their optimism although . the outcome depends; for the most part, on ther action taken by variouri oomV mittees a"t the convention, as ratf f ied ot the. convention floor, y ., , In some parts of Dixie, however, there is strong sentiment no to commit electors -to either presiden tial candidate.' If this idea de velops and gains favor, it may work against the Democrats, but chances are that if Nixon, is the G.O.PT. nom inee, conservative' Sautherners'wim have nowhere-to go since the Vicel .
