More Korean Vets

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.

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!

come to the Father except through:

| Him. 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.

Keith, chairman of the State ASC com
mittee. This represents 47 per cent of
the farms and more than 70 per cent
of the farmland in the state.
Basic in ACP operations is the rea
lization that all conservation efforts
must fit in with each farm’s current
production operations, said Keith. It
is not possible to close down the farm
for repairs. Under the 1953 ACP, the
chairman reports that cost-sharing

servation problem on each farm. This
, ”first-things-first” approach resulted,
• in a concentration on the more per
' manent type conservation practices
; with particular emphasis on such|
practices as permanent pastures, ter-,
racing, drainage, and forest tree
: planting.
Keith said that 33,960 farmers es- ]
; tablished 107,012 acres of permanent
pasture under the 1953 ACP. Ter-j
races were constructed on 668 farms'
on 4,113 acres. There were 282,6751
acres of land protected by planting
and turning under green manure and
.cover in constructing open and closed c
drains on 23,085 acres for the purpose i
of draining cropland or pasture land, i
Many other conservation practices i
t were carried out by cooperators in the ’
program such as establishing sod wa- 1
Iterways and contour stripcropping,
'constructing farm ponds for livestock
'or for irrigation purposes, and for i
1 planting forest trees for forestry pur
poses and for erosion control.

may still take part in the 1954 ACP.
