S. 219, the Federal Constitutional convention Procedures Act a measure which 1 Introduced and have fought for continuously over the last four years. Tha hill la designed to im plement Article V of the Con stitution, which provides, among other things, that the Congress shall "on application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states cau a convention for proposing amendments." From . the foundation of the Republic to the present time, the States have submitted a total of 304 ap plications for a constitutional convention, but virtually , no precedent exists to serve as a snide to the States and the Congress in the carrying out of this method of amending me Constitution. In the summer of 1967, I became concerned about the nrosoect of a constitutional crisis with no suidelines of 34 States requested a national convention to modify tne one man, one-vote decision of the Supreme Court in the reap portionment cases. At that time, Jacob L. White, Sr. Dies After Long Illness Jacob Lvcursus White. Sr.. 67, a fanner of Route 1, Hertford, died Monday at 4:30 P.M. in the Albemarle Hospital following a long illness.

WINFALL Durwood Leigh Barber, Sr., 70, died Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. at his home following illness of two months. A native of Perquimans County, he was the son of the late James Henry and Mrs. Molly Perry Barber and husband of Mrs. Ruth Godwin Barber.

He worked for the Major-Loomis Co. for 30 years and was retired from the Hert ford Hardware Co. Besides his wife, he is sur vived bv three sons. Durwood L.

The body was removed to Swindell Funeral Home pending completion of arrangements. V, for M, 1971 'Senator Sam Irvin Soys 32 States had called for such a I convention, and my study I revealed that we needed legislation to nrovide the an- swers to the sensitive questions wnicn would determine wnetner a convention should be called and how any convention, once called, should function procedurally. Although Hearings were neia in October of 1967. the bill did not win Senate approval for at least two reasons. First, the bill nad not been studied sufficiently by a majority of the Senate to reach a conclusion as to its- merits; and, second, the bill was Judged by many upon the basis of partisan feeling about the proposed reapportionment amendment Asain. in the next Congress, I reintroduced the bill where it languished in Committee throuehtout that session. This year, the passage of time and concerns about particular proposed amendments and the effect of the bill upon them changed the feeling about S. 215. Actually, the senate, oy a vote 01 84 to 0 agreed with what I have said all along, and that is that the bill is essentially neutral toward a proposed amendment to the Constitution, and seeks neither to facilitate nor to lay obstacles in the path of a con vention. Basically, the proposed Act requires: (1) That the State use the same procedure for adopting convention applications as they use for the passage of statutes, but without the necessity of ap proval by the Governor; (2) that an application by a State for the call of a convention be an nounced In the Congress and in other State legislatures; (3) that such applications remain in effect for seven years, subject to rescission by tne state legislature unless two-thirds of the State legislatures have already submitted applications on the same subject or subjects, when such applications shall then remain in effect; (4) that when the requisite number of applications are filed with the Congress that Congress shall then pass a concurrent resolution calling for a con vention.

This is asserted throughout the Bible, and no ardent student would dispute this fact. Habakkuk was a troubled prophet; he could not un derstand why God let wickedness go unrestrained in Judah,. and nor, at first, did he understand God's ways in loosing the warlike nation of Babylon on His chosen people, for the Chaldeans were noted for their pride in their ruthlessness. It took some time for Habakkuk to realize that God was, indeed, sitting in judgment on Judah, whose sins had progressed throughout the reigns of Manasseh, Jehoahaz and Jehoiakim. The Chaldeans were His Instruments in bringing Judah up abort, and the conquerors, in turn, would be toppled from their prideful arrogance. ' That God continues to Judge nations and peoples on their acts and their way of life continues in the world as we know it t today. . .as witness the events of World War II in our own time. Italy prospered under the dictatorship of Mussolini; Germany under Hitler for a time. But the free nations of the world rose in revolt against such cruelties and aggressiveness, and the result is history. Germany, especially, is a divided country, learning to live peaceably with the rest of the world. Human vengeance has had no part in this -rather it is the working of a Divine Justice. ' The lesson should be clear. No nation should ever presume that it is immune from the Judgment of the Almighty. They may be fully convinced that right is on their side - but they may be biased in their own favor. God may disagree I Ever on the side of righteousness, such a nation should be very sure they are on GOD'S side if It wants to live in peace and prosperity in the world as we know it today , This fact is of particular significance to us today, as we look around us and see the turmoil and restlessness that is rampant in our own society. Perhaps, if we look deeply ' enough into our present situation, we will find that God Is trying to tell us something. Are we listening? Will the lessons of the Bible and history regarding national destinies lead us to a solution of the problems with which we are beset. . .or will they be wasted, as the seed which fell on stony ground? . The skeptical will point to the fact th't the unjust prosper while the meek continue to be dowjodden, and (like Habakkuk) stand appalled that such a situation should exist. Such people need to continue to study Biblical events, for therein lies their answer. :::rrj: i't:'-:-;" f ' God has an overreaching purpose for mankind, and the events of mankind and of the world art shaped to mis end. Within the freedom He allows us, we can choose our paths, and shape our own destinies. When we get out of hand, however, then and only then will God intervene. He will not be swayed from His purpose. We will be judged, and ultimately we will be rewarded or punished, within this everlasting framework.
