The House action ending the
week of May 16 ran the
gamut from making legal the
(flying of kites in the Dis
trict of Columbia to approv
ing a Presidential reorganiza
tion plan, which many of us
believe will completely
change the operations and the
conduct of the executive
branch of government. In
addition, it will bypass the
authority of the Bureau of
the Budget—a department of
government which has served
both the public and the Con
gress well. The plan calls
for the creation of an office
of management and budget,

Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
giving the President the pow
er to appoint six of the high
est level Civil Service posi
tions to administer its func
tions. This could well be
come one of the most power
ful offices in government.
Ironically, the six executive
positions will be by appoint
ment, but immediately will be
covered by Civil Service sta
tus which means that suc
ceeding Presidents could not
make changes in personnel
commensurate with the poli
tical philosophy. Finally, the
reorganization , will add 90
White House employees in
addition to the 4,000 persons
now employed by the execu
tive office of the President.
It is estimated that salaries
for this new commission will
exceed $1,000,000 in the first
year, increase to million
in the second year and if the
history of bureaucracy is any
guide, it is impossible to es

would ultimately be.

which means that a yes vote
was voting against the plan,

The Senate finally confirm

Supreme Court Harold
Blackmun. Since he was

International Sunday School Lesson for May 24
Memory Selection: “Sanctify the Lord God in
your hearts; and be ready always to give an
answer to every man that asketh you a reason
cf the hope that is in you with meekness and
fear.”—l Peter 3:15.
Lesson Text: Acts 17:16-33; 19:21-41; 1 Peter
3:13-17.
Our studies today lie in the field of Paul’s
second missionary journey, and his witnessing
in Athens, seat of culture and sophistication.
And, while he was not persecuted there for his
teachings, he nevertheless came across an in
difference and degree of superstition that was
staggering. What was worse, for Paul, was that
it was frustrating.
These attitudes posed a threat, then, as they (
do today, to effective witnessing and the spread
ing of the Word.
But the outreaching of Christian doctrines
could not be stopped. Those tenets of faith had
overcome greater obstacles—and will continue to
do so while men of Paul’s dedication, determina
tion and character walk the earth.
Idolatry had been encountered by Paul before,
cn his missionary journeys, but never on such
a scale as in the city of Athens; what he prob
ably found to be the most shocking thing of all
was that, centered in Athens, were great minds,
capable of logic, and he could net conceive of
the free-wheeling acceptance of idolatry, with
its roots in superstition, by men of such caliber
as he met. And, somewhat paradoxically, this
same logic worked against this new religion he
preached—for his listeners found it hard to ac
cept the Resurrection, and Paul, in his wisdom,
knew that Christianity could not be proved, but,
rather, accepted by faith. Thus we find Paul,
presenting the Gospel to agnostics, declaring,
rather than demonstrating.
And, although Paul’s missionary attempt in
Athens could not be regarded as an unqualified
success, nevertheless he did win over a number
of converts—one of whom was Dionysius, a mem
ber of the city council. But he also made ene
mies among the silversmiths, who made a very
lucrative living from fashioning shrines to the
goddess Diana. Seeing their livelihood threat
ened, these craftsmen raised a hue and cry; in
this they were aided and abetted by the city
fathers—for the city benefited, also, from the
sale of their handiwork. How far-reaching in
the life of people the Gospel can be. Jt chal
lenges financial, religious and nationalistic pat
terns—and does so today, no less than it did in
earlier days.
Paul, indeed, had many obstacles to overcome;
but he was a concerned man, he saw a sick
world, badly in need of the salvation Christ alone
can offer; he saw a redeemable world, and bent
his energies to that end. He was not a man in
possession of certain convictions—he was a man
possessed by his convictions.
He was also an astute man.' He knew that
