Washington—A crucial stage is imminent in congressional con sideration of "welfare” legisla tion which would push the na tion a considerable distance down the socialistic trail. Included in the list of meas ures to be seriously considered bv the House Ways and Means Committee is the industry-op posed bill by Rec. Forand CD-R.I. far free hospital, nurs ing home and surgical care for . aged persons eligible far social security retirement benefits. This measure is assailed by opponents as a “foot-in-the d*»M" proposal which could lead' to federal bureaucratic control of every aspect of people’s lives. Committee approval of the measure would remove one of t K - major hurdle to enactment. Interest in the Forand bill— which is one of the major legis lative goals of the AFL-ClO— b»s increased materially in re- j cor.; days. One of ttie reasons obviously is the fact that this elec tion year. It is well-known that Congress usually hasj ‘“‘sweetened’* social security benefits every two years—just; before the national elections. Oppom nts contend, however. | f. that the legislation should be j considered cm. its merits —and j ' not on the basis of political con-1 side-rations. Among other things, oppon-! cuts assert that: 1. Plans at read v „.o under' way for meeting the major needs by private efforts—and| whatever assistance is necessary! should be provided by states and! communities. X Enactment of the Forand’ binn would impede—or stop—> these voluntary efforts if the. people back home were led toj believe that generous “Uncle- Sam” would come to the res-’ cue. 3. The Forand Bill would not! solve the problem, since three i out of every four recipients of i old age assistance do not re-i ceive old age and survivors j benefits under the social securi-j w Good Reading for the Whole Family » •WWS •Fads •Faiy Featots , -i *■—-—- MHm Srtww (MW • \T »8 - IU»i —V- ■ »• i , y ■son who merely destroys him self.

Government Economy Victory Members of the congressional; j economy bloc were delighted byi the House action sustaining President Eisenhower’s veto of the S9OO million water pollu tion bill. i They hope that this establish-’ les a precedent for this session j of congress for rejecting pro , posals for unnecessary federal | spending and for infringing on | State’s rights. The vetoed measures would ! have authorized an increase j ! from SSOO million to S9OO mil- 1 i lion in federal grants to mu-> I nicipalities for assistance in! ! constructing sewage treatment | works. This would be spread lover ten years, with an annual increase from SSO million to S9O. million. m * President Eisenhower look the position that water Pollution is, j“A uniquely local blight” and | therefore primary responsibility i rests upon state and local gov ! emments. He reoudiated the New Deal philosophy which would encour age municipalities to delay deal ing wi’h the problem so that ! Uncle Sam would step in and | take over. Mr. Eisenhower’s ve i to message said: , ' “By holding forth the promise of a Jarge-scale program of long term federal support, it would ! temp! municipalities to delav es j sential water oollution abate rnent efforts while they waited | for federal funds. The House vote on the veto ; was 249 to 157 in favor of over- j ; riding—which was 22 less than j the two-thirds vote required, j ' Thus President Eisenhower's ac -1 tion was sustained. t I The louder he talked about : his honor the faster we counted .cur spoons. —R.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Spiritual treasures are avail- - able to all—this is a meme of | the Lesson-Sermon ent ill ed r "Substance” to be read at Chris-1 tian Science services Sunday. i The divine source of true sub stance will be brought out in passages to be read from the Bible, including the following: “Treasures of wickedness pro fit nothing: but righteousness, delivereth from death. The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but he casteth away the substance of the wicked . . . The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” (Proverbs 10:2, 3, 22-. From “Science and Health j with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy, the follow-1 ing will be read (451:14): “Man' walks in the direction towards which he looks, and where his’ treasure is, there will his heart j be also.

Lesson Text: Acts 24-26 The question which we want to face in today’s lesson is: What opportunities and obliga-! tions docs the church have to' influence the conscience of the, state? No one likes to be hauled into court. This was an ever-recur-! ring theme in the Book of Acts. Peter made it several times, and so did Paul. This did not catch j thc-m completely by surprise, for they had been forewarned by Jesus: “ . . . and you will be brought before kings and gov- j ernors for my name’s sake'. This will be a time for you to bear testimony.” (Luke 21-12-13). In today’s lesson we find Paul on trial and defending himself before the representatives of Caesar. There is no suggestion that Paul enjoyed the experi ence: but when it was forced upon him. he did not flinch. In truth, it provided him end th* Chowan County Churches EDENTON BAPTIST 1 RF.V.

Pastor early church an opportunity to instruct the civil rulers concern- j ing the Christian faith and thej Christian church on the many j occasions such appearances were j forced upon him. Paul in Romans 13 suggests* that anything that the secular j rulers do is good. Yet Reve lation 13 goes to the other ex treme. There the Roman gov ernment is described as the Beast, the Anti-Christ, the ene my of the church. It is some where between these two ex treme positions that Christians find themselves today. All civil authorities government, courts, police—are essential and neces sary. Civil authorities again and again must make difficult de cisions. By necessity they .have to try to satisfy the wishes of conflicting groups. This, in it self. is not an easy thing to do. They need sympathy and under standing. There is a Christian approach or perspective, however, in ev ery situation. As Christians it is our duty to see that the na tion is under God. It is the responsibility of the Christian church to be the “watchman” and to warn civil authorities when they go too far.
