You’re alwayi wanting something you haven t got.” “W«H,” inquired his wife, sweetly, “What else can I want for?” r f 4 Unsatisfied wants stimulate progress. When a child wants greatly, he strives greatly and T satisfies his wants. But when an indulgent parent satisfies 'his dhild’d wants without any effort by the child, the parent ha 6 rob ' bed his dhild of a precious free dom. Everyone knows that un- THE CONSTUimON By WILLIAM D. FULLER . The following address was de livered over radio station WCDJ during the observance of Con stitution week in Edenlon, which was socnson«red by the Edenlon Tea Party Chapter of the DAR. This being Constitution "Week, it is meting and proper that we stop in our daily task and give some consideration to the fun damental principles set forth by our forebears and under which our government has functioned for a period approaching close to two hundred years. It is true that most countries 'have a framework of laws under which their government func tions; but it is believed that our country has the . distinctr.on of functioning and continuing to function Under the original prin ciples as set forth longer than any other country. It .is contended that our gov ernment could operate just as efficiently under the first six articles of the constitution as we do under the twenty-two amend ments; further, that the twenty two amendments do not set forth any principles but rather are acts of legislation, which, under the powers granted under the , first six articles could have been enacted as legislation by Con gress nether than as amendments to +be constitution. In fact*, it is believed by some students of government that if we continue to amend the constitution for every fancied need that arises the constitution will become a hodge podge of purely legislative enactments, subject to aH kinds of interpretations by .the Su preme Court. The Constitution is not tew in the ordinary sense of the word, but. rather, a set of principles within which the framework of our government has 'been creat ed. The first three articles of the set forth the principles under which the leg . islatjye, the executive and the 'judical branches of our govern ment are to be set up. These articles contain major conditions as to their creation, election or appointment, and the brood powers under which each branch of the government shall func tion.! Tree fourth article sets forth the Relationship of each state to another and to the Federal Gov-' eminent. It further provides for the privileges and immunities of citizens and for thfe formation of new states and the jurisdiction over territories before they be come states. The fifth article provides the method and manner of amend ing the constitution. /1 The sixth article is important; 1 first it provides for the recogni tion of debts and engagements ! entered into by the government JgK w Good Reading for the Whole Family • Hews • Facts •Family Features ■WPW" Ml Mill l, I I I ' ' mmmrnmm* mimmmmm The Chrhiion Science Mini tor On* Norway Boston 15, Mow.

If we kill all desire, we destroy the mind which desire must stimulate. Without desire, the mind dies and there is no progress. That which is true of parents is true of governments. This nation was founded on the idea that men should ’be free to satis fy their own desires, gaining for, as Lord Macaulay put it, “indus try and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment.” There was never a hint that government was obligated to see that every citizen was satisfied. Over-indulgent parents and paternalistic governments bring the 9ame result. When parents and governments annihilate de sire they annihilate the mind and the nation. ; | stitution. But what is import ant in the sixth article is that I it states that t«e constitution, as a set of principles, and the tews of the United States and treaties entered into shall be the su i preme law of the land: further, it provides that all elected or I appointed officers of the Federal l as well as the State Govem- I ments, executive and judicial, j Shall by oath or affirmation be found to support the Federal Constitution. The seventh article ; only provides for the ratification of the articles of the constitu tion. These are the first six articles of the constitution, under which it is claimed that the govern ment could function without any additional amendments; although j exception can be made to this statement in at least one or two instances: the thirteenth amend ! ment providing for the abolition of slavery and the sixteenth amendment providing for the imposition of what is • now known as the income tax. Then the seventeenth amendment pro vides for the direct election of i Senators rather than by ap pointment by the legislatures of the various states as provided for in the first article of the con stitution. Since the ratification of the Constitution'thi ere have heeri "be tween forty-five hundred and five thousand proposed .amend ments to the constitution, some of them very foolish. The re straint exercised by Congress in considering proposed amend ments is remarkable.when you consider that out of a total of some five thousand proposed amendments only twenty-two have been passed and ratified. While the first article of the constitution empowers the Con gress with the general right of all legislation necessary for the functioning of the government, nevertheless the Congress wanted to be sure that the inalienable rights of all citizens should not be restricted or infringed upon ' and thus came about the passing •of the first ten -rmendments. proposed in the session of Con gress in 1789 and ratified in 1791. The first ten amendments have been known as the Bill of Rights or the Magna Carta of j the people. The most important right defined is the right Os re ligion, speech and of the press. The one we are most familiar j with today is the fifth amend ment, the right not to be tom- , pelled to be . a witness against! oneself. With the exception of the thir- ■ teenth, prohibiting Slavery; the ! sixteenth amendment, providing for the federal income tax. and jthe seventeenth amendment pro viding for the direct election of U. S. Senators, the other amend ments were unnecessary and could have been covered by the appropriate legislation under the power granted to Congress under the first article of the consti tution. The sixteenth to and including the twenty-second amendments j have been passed and ratified; since the turn of the century. 1 Monuments of Enduring Beauty iBBL Ja.

Albemarle St PHONE 2518 Edenton. N. C. - -THE CHOWAW HERALD. EDENTOM. WORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1959, Certainly the eighteenth amend ment was*~a woeiuj aitempt to create moral character by the prohibition of the use of iiquor. And, of course, there had to be an amendment repealing it. It is contended that the woman suf frage amendment was unneces sary as the various state legis latures had the right to define the qualifications of voters. The twentieth amendment does away with the lame duck session of Congress and changes the date of the term of office of the Pres ident. Os course, the twenty first is an amendment to repeal an amendment. The twenty-sec ond amendment was passed in too great a hurry and already there is talk of repealing or, aimending it further, as there is a strong feeling that there should not be any such limita tion on the terms of office to be held by any President. There are three broad general problems to be considered in connection with our Constitu tion: First: There should be a greater lapse of time between the proposal, passage and rati fication of any proposed amend ment. There should be more de bate and public discussion and the consideration of other means of accomplishing the desired re sults rather than by amendment j Second: The interpretation of | the constitution bv the U. S. Supreme Court. Is the Supreme Court deciding cases on the ba sis of social expediency rather than on the basis of already es tablished principles of law. Third: The mis-use and abuse of principles set forth in the constitution, such as the over worked principle of self-incrimi nation. This presumed mis-use can have far reaching effects if carried to extremes. Any wit ness in a criminal case might use the fifth amendment in re fusing to testify and convictions in criminal cases might become impossible. These are only a few remarks on our constitution, which is worthy of our study and respect twice within and because of the principles ennunciated therein wp are a stable and responsible government. Since the writing of the above few remarks, there have been introduced in Congress three proposed new amendments with every likelihood of their being approved and submitted to the states. These proposed amend ments are as follows: 1.

Memory Selection; "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth." —(Acts 1:8). Lesson Text; Acts 1. The aim of today’s lesson is to help adults recognize their need for God’s power in their lives and the necessity to wit ness individually and collectively to that power. In our Scriptural studies for today we read of the resurrec tion of Jesus, and of his present ing himself before 'his disciples. He spoke with them, charging them to be his witnesses, and carry his story to all of the peo ple. Jesus was making the transition from his bodily pres ence among them to his spiritual presence within them. There is no record that the disciples found any great difficulty in making the change from accept ing the reality of the physical Chowan County Churches EDENTON BAPTIST REV. R. N.

They wit nessed to the fact that Jesus died. They attested to the res urrection of Jesus. The results of this early wit ness of the Christians is a mat ter of recorded history. The 'Book of Acts tells how the gos pel spread and overran the op position of organized religion and paganized government. The pri mary factor in this spread of the Christian faith was the inflexible and intolerant zeal of the first Christians. They would make no compromises of their belief in one God—the God of Jesus. It was Christ only for the Chris tians in their witness. They would allow other gods no room in their lives or their theology. This made for a purity of faith and an integrity of witness which alone can assure growth. The Christian witness to the doctrine of the future life help ed the growth of the Church and today it still does. In BibliCal days many Christians were slaves, but they found a spiritual freedom which promised full 'pardon and deliverance in the Continued on Page B—Section 2 YEOPIM BAPTIST Sunday School Sunday morning at 10 o clock.
