[SAM ERVIN
I * SAYS *>
Washington The 87th Con
gress convened on Tuesday,
January 3, 1961. Immediately
after its opening, the so-called
ultra liberals initiated a fight to
have the Senate itself change
Rule 22 of the Senate without
any study being first given to
their proposal by the Rules Com
mittee—a course of action re
quired by orderly procedure.
Fortunately, they suffered at
least a temporary defeat when
the Senate voted 50 to 46 to re
fer their proposal to the Rules
Committee for study.
The Proposal lt seems not
amiss to indicate the implica
tions of the proposed change in
Senate Rules. Under Rule 22,
as it now stands, debate in the
Senate upon any pending meas
ure cannot be ended unless two
thirds of the Senators present
and voting so decree.
The purpose of this Rule is
to make it certain that any Sen
ate minority shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to per
suade the Senate majority that
a pending proposal is unwise and
ought not to be enacted into
law.
Use of Epithets—The so-called
ultro liberals sought to change
Rule 22 so as to provide that 51
Senators should have the power

IN ONE HOUR
In one hour, a youthful shep
herd, previously unknown ex
cept by the sheep he tended in
the hills near Bethlehem, be
came the national hero of
lirael.
He was David!
In that same hour, the leg
endary champion of the Philis
tines, perhaps the most formid
able warrior the world has ever
known, lay dead at the feet of
his people.
He was Goliath! V
The confidence of the Philip
tines melted into dismay andl
confusion. The insecurity of
the children of Israel turned
Into exultation and triumph. Al!
within one hour!
Goliath towered in splendor
954 feet- He was magnificent in
Impenetrable armor. His great
sword flashed in the sunlight.
Who in all the world was equal
to this giant of giants?
David was but a lad in his
teens. He was too light to wear
protective armor. He had no ex
perience with the sword. The
only weapon he knew was a
small hand sling. It was both
gross Insult and folly to pit this
diminutive child against the
might of Coliath.
The fate of Israel had never
hung on so slender a thread in
all of that nation’s resplendent
history. It was one of the
earth’s most dramatic hours.
David wound his sling and
cried, “I fight not with sword
and shield, but with the Spirit

'to silence the other 49 Sena
tors. In accordance with the
smear technique now practiced
all too frequently in public life
in America, the ultra liberals
say that the change proposed by
them is necessary to silence the
■‘filibustered”. It would be
equally as just for those who
oppose the change in Rule 22
to say that the purpose of the
so-called ultra liberals is to gag
those who disagree with them.
As a consequence, anyone ad
dicted to the use of epithets as
a substitute for reason might
well say that we have just wit
nessed a contest between the
filibustered and the gagged.
My Position I favor Rule
22 in its present form. I have
always liked the statement at
tributed to the French Philoso
pher, Voltaire: “I disagree with
what you say, but I shall de
fend to the death your right to
say it.” I also agree with the
observation made by William S.
White, one of America’s fore
most columnists who points out
in his book on the Senate that
it is well to remember that any
rule devised today to silence:
troublesome demagoguges can be!
used tomorrow to silence a brave i
man fighting a just cause.”
; of the Lord!”
What happened then stunned
two nations. Goliath fell. David
stood upon him. Taking the
giant’s own great sword, he sev
ered the massive head. There
was a shout of victory from the
host of the Israelites, and the
Philistines turned and fled.
All within one hour!
The history of David is one of
the most inspiring stories of all
time. They sang of him, “Saul
bathc.slaii|_Jns thousands, and
DAVID mis ten thousarfds!”
What was the secret of this sim
ple lad who became mighty in
battle and king of Israel?
His secret was in his word of
faith: “I fight not with sword
and shield but with the Spirit
of the Lord!” His secret was his
act of faith. He wound up his
sling and fired. His secret was
the Spirit of God who guided
the stone unerringly to the fore
head of Goliath. His secret was
his trust in the Lord.
Goliath is a symbol, or a
type, of the unconquerable
enemy. When you are confront
ed with fear, you face Goliath.
What is poverty but Golifeth?
What is failure, hunger, inse
curity, indebtedness or anything
which blocks your way, if it is
not Goliath? The uncertainty of
the future is Goliath. In one
hour David slew his giant be
cause he fought with the Spirit
of the Lord.
Goliaths are not slaia by any
other weapon-
