February 16. 19,» / The ( iirislinn > ten point That was a very impressive argument us ed by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale on the American Legion Radio Program ‘ Back To God" just before President Eisenhower spoke It showed how our liberty rests upon faith ir God. When Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Roger Sherman, and Robert Living s;ow were drawing up the Declaration of j Independence they wrote "We hold these I truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by j their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." They want- i ed to base libertv upon a foundation which j would not fail. They knew the history of the world show- j ed the loss of libertv over and over again. If they said men were endowed with liber ty bv the majority vote of the people then they knew a majority vote could take it away from a minority. If they said men j were endowed with liberty by vote of an as sembly or parliament could take it away. So they chose to base liberty in man's Cre- 1 ator. God Then nothing in this world could I take it away Hitler had to set up a pagan god of w ar in the place nf -the Creator of the Scriptures before he could exterminate men in concentration camps, Stalin had to teach Atheism before he could .force peas ants into collective farms and Siberian coal mines. Men can not hold to faith ir. God and « .ame .arccL rights of the individual. They have to cast God out of all their thoughts first. As long as we hold, to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ our liberty is secure Fol low off after secularism, agnosticism, natur alism, materialism, or any other of the many modern-day pagan cults and our liberty is in danger. “The Lord is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation" Psalm 11814. —Prepared bv Department of Bible, Presby terian Junior College. Maxton. N. C. Time To Wake I'p It is about time for the people to wake up in this country, to see through the smearing tactics employed in high places in the ad ministration. Despite a solemn warning, the smear artists continue the nefarious busi ness, all the while threatening the interests ol „ri(' liiumry. Brownell, Summerfield. and others have charged treason in one way or another. It has been alleged that 2,200 “communists" had been fired from the State Department. It now turns out that respect for the dead was trampeid into the dust, that some yl those who were “fired” had died of natural causes. Others had quit one department to be readilv accepted m another. Others chose to get out of government because of the totalitarian methods employed by those who are wrecking the country while parad ing as its saviours. Just how many disloyal persons arc in the group of 2.200 cannot be learned, and if an answer is to be prepared bv the smear artists the truth will never be known. There was the Fort Monmouth sensation, and the truth has not yet caught up with the pack of lies. The liars don’t bother to ex plain that they overshot the truth, or to try and act in the name of fairness and truth. They merely keep rolling along, making more charges, telling more lies. And they are doing it with blessings from the high hierarchy. . H« Is A citizen is a man who demands better roads, bigger schools, a new post-office—and lower taxes.—Nashville Southern Lumber man. Tin' f r<nulent 4l*tt " Bv Ru‘h Tg\ lor . 1,1 A tVumnor <.•* applause burst forth — for the great orator. Edwaro Everett, as ho con i it. lot! )iis hour and a half lout; oration at the (indication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. Then .9 .tail gangly man rose and slouch ed forward, holding in h;s hand a few sheets of paper on which he had scrawled the notes for his speech in the dirty coach on the way from Washington in contrast to the silver tones ot the pre vious speaker, his vriice was low. as though ] he were speaking to the dead of both the North arui South. The crowd was imma- 1 tei sal to him He was not making a speech. He was dedicating a Cemetery. “Four score and seven years ago. our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedi cated to the proposition that all men are created equal"—he began, and the people began to gather up their wraps and look tor the wav out. The next day one of the leading news papers printed a long account of Edward Everett’s speech, adding at the bottom of the storv. “The President Also Spoke.” I’ve otten wondered if the reporter lived ! long enough to realize he had missed the ! boat. No doubt Mr. Everett’s speech was a good one. He was never known to disap point an audience. But the less than three i hundred words of the President have gone | down in history as one of the world’s great j speeches. Each year—in schoolroom and on stage— these words are repeated. Why? What makes them great0 Because in an hour of travail he spoke from his heart, thinking not of the effect upon the listeners, but trying to put into words the things for which men had fought and died, the principle that is our United States. That is the strength of the speech. That is the strength of our country. “That from these honored dead We take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of free dom; and that government of the people, bv the people, for the people, shall not perish | from the earth.” Everythin# Is ill Hi#ht Th*■ national administiation is lopping off four billion from its military appropriations while peace hangs by a thread m Korea.

Russia is bait ing the world with trade offers. We go on talking about our A bombs and H bombs, knowing full well that there are few or no established battle lines where they can be dropped. The manufacture of con ventional weapons is being curtailed when only comentional weapons can prove of value in the Indo-China fight. But with a balanced budget, they say everything is going 10 m a'l right over there j and over here, too. 1 A wife with horse sense never becomes a nag.

On his arrival home, his mother asked him what kind of a time he had "Mother.” he said earnestly, I'm so glad j I’m back that I'm glad I went." * * a Happiness is a visitor. It comes and goes. 1 Contentment will live with you as long as you let it. The small boy expected to be happy on tire picnic. Misfortune ended that, but happiness returned when he reached home. We cannot be everlastingly happy through all of life. A thousand influences which we cannot control, will prevent con tinual happiness. However, experience shows us that we can be content. With the aid of contentment we can lock the door against the withering chill of unhappiness. It helps us to fling wide the door to the wel come warmth of happiness when she comes to visit. Contentment is a pass-key placed in the hands of those who have the wisdom to know themselves; to accept with good grace that which they cannot change and to remember that all sunshine and no rain would create a desert.
