SECTION ONK More Korean Vets In Training Than Under First Gl Bill Veterans In College Al most Double World War II Vets For the first time since the enact ment of the Korean GI Bill two years afo, Veterans Administration said, more Korean veterans are in train ing than those enrolled under the orig inal GI Bill. While the great majority of World War II veterans in training have com pleted their programs and the num bers in training are dwindling fast, the number of Korean veterans in training has shown a steady increase, as more young veterans are released from active military sendee each month. The number of post-Korea veterans' who have taken education or training, under the Korean GI Bill-—Public Law 550 —in the past two years has pass ed the half-million mark, according t« VA. At the same time, the number of ■ post-Korean veterans actually in training at the present time has j mounted to approximately 300,000. By, comparison, the number of World War II veterans in training under the orig-l, inal GI Bill has dropped to 235,000 andj. their enrollment figures are showing'' a steady decrease. In college GI training, the number - of Korean veterans enrolled is almost double that of World War II Veterans.[■ However, in vocational, trade business schools below the college lev el, there are still more World War II veterans in GI training, with a total of approximately 106,000, compared to less than 100,000 below-eollege train ees from the post-Korean ranks. Weekly Devotional | Column By James Mackenzie I sing a song of the saints of God, Patient and brave and true; Who toiled and fought, and lived and died, For the Lord they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen. And one was a shepherdess on the 1 erree n; They were all of-them saints of God, and I mean. God helping, to be one too. What is a saint? Voltaire said;.“A saint is a dead sinner, revised and re edited." And this, to some, is the meaning of- word "saint,” To them, a saint.is a person whose holi nes- of life, has been recognized and. confirmed, by some church through the I rignv •• !•■ of beautification and can-1 onizafion;. According to this view, we I are to direct our prayers to the “saints” and they will present our pe- ! titions .'-before the throne of God. But this is not at all the. Bible view. First of all, it does violence to - the consistent teaching of God’s liojy j Word that there is only one alive to-j day who deserves the title of priest, j and He is our Lord Jesus. As our | only Priest, He is the only Mediator! between God and man; no one can j come to the Father except through: yvwwwwv ’ DYING OF THE HEAT?

Therefore, it is a waste of time, j to direct our prayers to any saint, liv- - ing or dead. Indeed, it is worse than a waste of time, because it gives a false and baseless security to the per son who does it. The word “saint” (“saints “saints”) is used 101 times in the Bible—prae- j tically always of a living person—in both the Old and in the New Testa ments. Always in the New Testa ment it is a translation of the Greek word “Hagios” which means “set apart,” or “separated.” In the Bible, a saint is always one who has become dead unto sin (therefore set-apart from it), and alive unto God (there fore set-apart to Him) through union with our Lord Jesus Christ in His cru cifixion. burial and resurrection. This is, of course, accomplished by the New Birth. In other words, “saint” means the same thing as “Christian.” All Christ ians, living or dead, are saints; and all saints are Christians. Indeed, I was pleasantly surprised to see this admitted in “The Catholic Dictionary,” an official publication of Roman Ca tholicism: “In the New Testament the word ‘saints’ is often used to des ignate all Christians of a place, as we 1 should say, ‘The Faithful’.” I Os course, we are not to pray to I the saints, nor through them. “No man eometh unto the Father but by me,” said Jesus (John 14:6). Instead! in the Bible we are told to pray for ( the saints (Ephesians 6:18), as they themselves need intercession (Romans 8:27). | | How does a person become a saint ? J Simply by coming to Jesus Christ in simple faith and receiving and trust ling Him as Saviour and Lord. They lived not only in ages past, There are hundreds of thousands still; ,The world is bright with the joyous saints i Who love to do God’s will. I You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea. In Church, or in trains, or at shops or] at tea, | For the saints of God are just folks like me, And I mean to be one too.
