We, as Paul, will f nd our se

from within. The security from
Without will come from the law

security from within will come,
as it did with Paul, from loyal-1

in societies where there is no

stand behind the laws of *he
‘land. It is the foundation, and
the only one, upon which justice
can be built. Education is. of
course, important; and public
sentiment is necessary. How

recognized laws behind which
the government will stand that

long as he does not earn over
SIOO in any month in wages or
render substantial services in
seif-employment.
If he should go back to work
in December to help out in the
Christmas rush and earn overj
SIOO, he would not be entitled!
to his payment for that month.
Regardless of whether he,
works or not after fding for his
social security payments if he
earned over SI2OO. he is requir
ed to file the annual report be
tween January 1 and April 15
of the next year.
This requirement of an an
nual report also applies to the
person who reaches age 72 and
continues to work. He can
draw payments regardless of
earnings after reaching 72, but
he still is required to file the
annual report for the year in
which he reaches 72.

earnings test or for more infor

issues, to ask for the full pro
tection of the law.
, However, our security must
! come primarily from within.
'We sometimes tend to forget
this. We, as was Paul, must
be realistic about the road that
the Christian churches travel if
they are to stand for anything.
The powerful forces of organiz
ed selfishness, pride, lust, hate,
and envy certainly do exist.
There is no denying that. If
you doubt their existence for
one instance, all you have to
do is to try to da something
about them. Their response
will be instantaneous!
We must, however, also be
realistic about ourselves. One
of the most distressing things
that has hurt many Christians
who took, a stand on any issue
is the fact that very often it is
the ’’good people.” even church
people, who are unfair and un
reasonable.
The jungle of selfishness,
pride, lust, hate and envy is
not behind us, disappearing as
docs the shoreline when a ship
puts out to sea. It is. rather,
underneath all of us, and it is
only the religious life that helps
us to rise above it. We will
remain humble when we are
realistic about ourselves and. as
did Paul, will be able to under
stand and sympathize with th<
very people who will attack us
when we summon uo our cour
age to try to stand for some-
thing. We can also find inspir
ation wben we think of JwW
He Had to face hardship because
of his convictions. As Christians
we should always remember
that others have a right to;
stand with the minority. Im
perfect in our knowledge, we
must be careful not t|o' align!
ourselves with men against
