Makes Sense
' Two publications we read last
week ' carried similar articles
concerning the ever mounting
tax load being . placed on the
Shoulders : of Americans. , The
Reader's Digest had a story con
cerning hidden.; taxes involved
ia loaf of bread. The writer
stated he investigated the situ
ation due to the low amount of
money " paid a farmer for
a bushel of wheat, chief ingre
dient of bread. The writer said
, he found the price of bread had
,no relation to high profits made
in its production but hundreds
of hidden taxes resulted in the
price it sells for today.
' The American Press, editori
ally, pondered if the tax situa
tion hadn't arrived to the point
it is time for the American
people to give serious thought
to the l tremendous : outlay of
cash, going to individuals ia the
form of . various types of pay
ment,' while these same indivi
dual are contributing little to
waiyd supplying the government
with anything in return.
The American Press article
leaves the impression the gov
ernment "will continue its hand
out : program, thereby weaken
ing the nation's economic struc
ture, unless the people demon
strate strongly against expan
sion of these programs.

It was thought three years
ago that buses and trucks
would be a better mode of
travel for the circus, especially
since it had cut down its large
menagerie of animals W except
for elephants, 2ebras, horses
and eight lions and tigers. .
However, it was found that
our highway congestion of to
day was a greater problem than
those which occurred an rails.
Flat tires,'.'.- traffic lights, and
other complications brought
about the decision to return to
the railroad cars. As a result,

ment experts as on the way out,

concerned. By 1970 passenger
travel on the railroads, except
in certain cases, will be virtually

For those who love the rail

those who love the tradition and

this is bitter, reading, i How

COURAGE FOR CHRISTIAN
WITNESSING
International Sunday School
Lesson for February 28. 1960
M.mory Selection: "Takt your
shir, of suffering as good
soldier of Christ Jesus."
(2 Timothy 2:3).
Lesson Text: Acts 21:17
through 22:9.
Today's lesson will attempt to
help you answer -the following
question: flow 'can churches
keep lines : of communication
open in order that we may beM li
ter understand one ' another?
Our study of the Bible today
illustrates ' clearly th trials and!
tribulations, and the brutality,
endured by Paul at the hands
of the people who questioned
his teachings. We read of di
visiveness within religions; in
Paul's day there was a strict
Jewish law against bringing a
non-Jew into the sacred pre
cincts of the Temple. In the
verses we are studying today,
Paul is accused of taking a Gen
tile into the holy place forbid
den to him, and public senti
ment took its toll against the
apostle.
We might have hoped that the
Christian churches would have
been able to avoid the pitfalls
of the Jewish Temple, r.s sei
forth in the lesson we are cur
rently studying. However, his
tory gives ample evidence tnat
the various churches have again
and again : succumbed to the
temptation of closed doors and
closed minds.
In the past hundred years we
have come a long way in under
standing between the numerous
and varied branches of religion,
but there is still room for im
provement as we Iook at me
question in the day and age in
which we live. Today the de
nominational divisions remain,
bur bitter and acrimonious di
vision is, for the most part; a I
thing of the past. Despite this'
growing together, however, there)
is an uneasiness in the mind of
every funKing unnstian uuu
we have not yet gone far
enough. This, sense of uneasi
ness stem? froni, J).Vv'l"'. sources.
First, we are realizing that our
denominational divisions in some
areas of the world serve as a.
possible hindrance to missionary
expansion Non-Christians make
up two-thirds of the world's
population, and thev are increas
ingly asking embarrassing ques
tions about the disunity, the
competitiveness of the Christian
churches. If it is true that our
divisions serve as an obstacle
to growth, it is any wonder
there is uneasiness? Second,
we are uneasy for we see that
some of our divisions are not
the result of theological or ethi
cal convictions, but are, rather,
reflections of the - divisions we
find in the secular world.
There is the great division of
the East and the West, the com
munist world ' and the . western
world. Here are deep chasms
of misunderstanding created by
political, social, economic and
ideological forces. They are
both bitter and dangerous. Bi"
the more humiliating tragedy is
the fact that the same divisions
are - found within the churches.
In all communist countries there
are Christian churches. Yet,
communication and understand
ing, for the most part, have
broken down between the Chris
tians of the . West and. the
Christians in these countries.
We are tempted to brand them
as ; communists, and they are
tempted to brand us as capital
ists, instead- of starting from
the assumption that we are all
Christians.1 There js, indeed, no
greater challenge confronting the
world church than that of es
tablishing understanding be
tween Christians behind "cur
tains" and those outside. To
combat this handicap, we, must
maintain with our fellow Chris
tians open : doors . and open
minds. It is no small under
taking. No one has the final
answer. 'The read issue is not
one of resolutions and organi
zation, although these play their
part, but one of -the spirit.
It is only when we live close
to Him . that We discover ways
to deep understanding - between
Methodists and Episcopalians,
Presbyterians and Lutherans, be
tween those in Russia or Com
munist China and those outside,
and between A those' off t us in
varying - walks, Of life in our
everyday' living. Eere are just
a few ways "whereby a deeper
understanding of feilow. Chri

Does the goal you're seeking seem as remlote
as unattainable as this snow-frosted mountain top?
Does it seem, sometimes, as if you'll never get there?
Are you on the verge of giving up?
Don't! Though your objective may seem light
years beyond your reach, if it's the right thing for s
you, God will help you to attain it, if you'll let Him.
The teachings of His Church will help you find the
patience and endurante you need to accept setbacks
... and still keep trying.
Don't try to climb to the top all by yourself.
It's a lonely ascent. Let the Church help you, as
it helped those who were here before you . . . and.
as it will help those who come after you.
THE CHURCH FOK ALL...
ALL fOH THE CHURCH
' The Church it the greatest
earth for ihe building .f character1 and
good cilizenihip. It ji a storehouM of
spiritual values. Without a strong Oiurch,
neither democracy . nor ivilizatfn can
survive. There arc four sound -reasonss
svhy every perso. should attend, services,
regularly and support the Chuiath. They
ait: (I) For his own take. (2J) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) Bar the sake
of the Church itself, whiclv needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and reatj your ible
daily.
