July 76. 7953 The Christian 1 ion paint Beria is in the same pi ison where he used to send so many helpless people, that is unless the word “liquidate” in the Russian broadcasts means he has already been put to death by the same methods which he us ed in serving Stalin’s tyranny. Some under ling has been made head of the state police —his name has been announced but it does not matter. It is a pity someone cannot go to him and say, "Ail they that take tire sword shall perish with the sword.” (Matt. 25:52) Men may fool themselves into think ing they are protected, when they are un just and cruel, if they act within the forms of law and have behind them the power of the state. Truly, it is the function of gov ernment to bear the sword, to be used in putting down wrong and protecting the right. “He does not bear the sword in vain; he is the servant of God to execute his wrath-doer.” (Romans 13:4 R. S. V.) How ever, one who uses the sword in the name of the state is nevertheless personally re sponsible for his acts. He should resign if the state demands that he do evil and un just things. He should only support the state in acts of righteousness.® Beria has learned that he who supports cruelty and tyranny is nourishing a pet tiger which will sooner or later turn upon its keeper. The only safety for any one man is in pro tecting the rights of all others and in hold ing hard to the path of justice and charity. Beria might well have quoted the words cf the infamous Cardinal Thomas Wolsey in 1530 when he was cast out by King Henry VIII after he had let himself be the tool and I ''ifatcilPi-rnat i i-~T tlie*k“Ihg:'"”'?Had T but" sefv-' ed my God as faithfully as 1 have served my king. He would not have given me over in my gray hairs.” It is written in God’s moral universe as well as in Scripture: “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians (1:7) Prepared bv the Department of Bible. Presb'-t.enfm .’Tmui College; M hat's Hah inti It? Could it be that the bus line operators are trying to eliminate a bus terminal here? Apparently there has been some indiffer ence on the part of the management in making arrangements for accommodating the traveling public, and conditions more in keeping with the horse-and-buggy days are now existing on the bus terminal front here now. It is admitted that the bus line operators have their problems. However, they have their responsibilities, too, and it is reason able to believe that the problems can be handled. Nothing but an act of God Would have permitted other comm on carriers to deal out such unsavory service as is being dealt the traveling public by some public transporta tion systems. When and if the conditions arc remedied, it is sincerely hoped the bus companies will not overlook the public, traffic conditions and other factors surrounding the location and operation of a terminal. Lets Turn The Re/tuhHeans Out Bertie Ledger-Advance Frankly, we think it’s time to turn the Republicans out. Being deep-dyed Democratic from the beginning we were none too enthusiastic •boot the advent of the present Adminis tration. Thfe “moral crusade” never fooled as. Behind Ike’s grin all the time we coulc »ee big oil barons who want “off-shdre oil’ belonging to the people of the United States big aheep raisers who want public lands I I ! I knife-sharpening reactionaries ready to re peal every New Deal measure strict 1933. isolationaists ready to scrap the country’s foreign policy and a Coagulation of big busi nessmen ready to plow under every fourth farmer (if necessary) and McCarthy & Com pany ready to restrict liberties all the way around. We've been waiting for the “mess” to be “cleaned up” but all we got was a Kan sas scandal by the then Republican Nation al Chairman who sold the State of Kansas the building it already owned. We’ve seen a succession of men appoint ed to administer Federal programs for whifi they have little sympathy or even hostility. We’ve seen one appointee—Tom Lyon, the President's nominee for Director of the Bureau o'f Mines—have his name dropped before a Senate Committee because he’s drawing a large pension from Anaconda Copper and because he doesn’t believe in the mine safety program. We’ve seen the State Department taken over by Senator McCarthy and seen its over seas information rendered useless by the silliest, Nazi-like book burning and purging; we've seen the State Department’s budget whacked to pieces to please isolatfohists. With it all we’ve seen the so-called Secre tary of State buckle under and seen the Prseident take a firm stand only to back dowm. We’ve seen the President so anxious to “get along with” Congress that he’s aban doned some of the traditional powers and prerogatives guaranteed the Office of the President by the Constitutioh. We’ve seen confusiOh in the farm policy and uncertainty resulting from it. In fact, we’ve seen enough and although it's only started, this new age of Republican rule, we can say already: we’ve had enough. ISol Foil otving Through The several civic club's in Williamston contributed $1,000 to finance a little base ball league. The venture met with marked success for a short while, but interest has lagged and now there’s doubt if the league can survive. The league is one of several projects ad vanced in the name of youth in the com munity. The projects were undertaken following conscientious agitation advanced by parents and other interested citizens. At considerable loss the municipal pool is being maintained. The little baseball league is running into financial difficulties. The public is not following through or play ing fair with the youth. It is admitted that a well-rounded or ade quate recreation program is not being main tained for the community’s children, but no adequate program will ever be advanced until support is given those projects al ready provided. Just the presence of parents and interest ed citizens at the games may save the little 'Teague.'" And 'it is worth saving.''"'‘Take”time out and give the project a boost. If the civic chibs are convinc'd the people of the town and community are interested in youth, they’ll continue to take the lead in striving for a complete recreation program. If greater interest is not shown in the existing proj.-i is, no more are likely to be advanced arid sonic- of the be abandoned. He who lives for himself alone, lives but for little things. 60 Second Sermons By Fred Dodge TEXT: “Heat not a furn ace for your foe so hot that it do singe thy self.”—Shakespeare. Farmer Jobes sadly Walk ed iritd the crossroads store. “I can see from your face,” said the storekeeper, “that trouble ^ith that mule of yours again.” “You hit the nail on the head,” replied the farmer. ‘You’ll never listen to me,” went on the storekeeper. “Didn’t I tell you that the next time that critter balked, you should just build a fire under him dnd make him move?” “That’s just what I done,” complained the farmer, “but that orhery beast just moved far enough t6 pull the wagon over the fire and burn It up.” * * * We get a glow from retelling how we “built a fire” under so-and-so. The truth, We find, is that a fire can leave only ashes and bitter memdfies in someone. Then, per haps a year or two later, our own wagon catches fire from ashes we thought were cold. Our moment of triumph, long forgot ten, is toe big a price to paly for the loss we Suffer no«v. As the years pass we see many men who have heated so hot a fire for their foes, that they singed themselves. you’re havin’ Who. ME?

Oppose Excess fix flan —-*— The national leadership of the National Association of Manu facturers and the Chamber oi Commerce of the United States suffered a loss of prestige in tht recent fight, pushed by those twc of ganization's, to defeat the Presi dent’s request for an extension of the corporation excess profits tax, and other taxes. The NAM and C. of C. would have gained much prestige in the average lay man’s mind if they had foregone their traditional role in the re cent tax light. For the President agrees with both these organizations that the excess profits tax is a bad tax Moreover, President Eisenhowei is in favor of repealing it. How ever, if the budget is to be bal anced in the next twelve months the revenue from the excess prof its tax and other taxes the Presi dent wanted extended temporari ly is needed to accomplish the bal ancing. are between forty and fifty thou sand in the country. Not only do the tourists in crease sales of vacation equip ment and clothing in the majoi vacation areas of the country but the money they must spenc for lodging and meals often bring: boom conditions to choice vaca tion restaurants and hotels. Public-minded citizens in thi: community, and every progressive community, should utilize every possibility to make local vacation j spots ideal for tourists from both far and near. Few communities in this country can eofriplain thal therp are no ideal vacation spots in their area. And. since the tour ist and vacation industry is sure to grow in the coming yeats, rather than decline, it will benefit this community to spc that our vaeatiefn and tourist possibilities are utilized to the fullest extent. The end result will he mOre business, more profits and an fin proved rate of growth for our community. the N A. M. and the C. of C. supported President Eisenhow-j er in his campaign for election to the Presidency. There is little doubt that a majority of the mem bership in both organizations sup ported the President's position in th tax fight. The National As sociation of Manufacturers' Board) of Directors actually voted 64 46 to support the President in a re cent test, but since two-thirds of the directors' votes were need ed to change the NAM oppositXin policy, the opposition continued. Thus, the nation has recently) witnessed two major business or ganizations pressing for tax re lief in opposition to the expressed desire of the President, and a majority of board directors in one Case and a probable majority of members in both cases To the public, this sort of leadership is viewed as something less than a natural inclination for one to look out for one’s interest. It appears that both the NAM and C. of C. could profit from more enlighten ed leadership. Cliifcal Center Recently Opened The Federal Government’s $64,-. 000.000 clinical center near Wash ington Was dedicated early this month and received its first pa |tients on July fith. These eight pa tients, like others to follow, will pay nothing for their treatment at the national clinical center. The center is not a hospital, though it will contain all the fa cilities of a hospital, including op erating rooms, etc. It is a research center and all patients brought in for study will be treated as re search cases and the cost charged to the operation of the new clini cal center. I It is the first clinic of its kind and brings together the widest assemblage of specialists and tech nicians yet gathered—and puts them into direct research contact with patients. Every patient that comes to the clinical center Will have to be recommenced by a medical school, hospital or physi cian.
