The .-Rev, Dr. Ralph W, Sockman, probably the foremost preacher in America,' spoke Friday noon from the platform of the Junaluska As' sombly. under the auspices of a south-wide . Methodist Laymen's Conference. "The Road Ahead for Christian Laymen," was Dr. Sock man's subject. Some people, the speaker said, think that with two world wars in one generation and the discovery of new ways of destruction, means "dead end" and that there is no road ahead, hut that is not the as a road ahead and t is our task to iind it. Dr. Sockman said he believed the Iron Curtain of secrecy which Russia maintains is largely part pride and part fear. Pride because they do not want people from other countries to see the low level of dailv living and fear for fear the Russians will learn how comfor table and well off people in the United States are. He thought Russia with her Iron Curtain is putting up a Giant .bluff and has no desire for war, "I have pro found hope." he said, "that inter national policing such as UN has established in Korea, will stave off war. My basic reason for this hope is spiritual. The Bible says, Be hold I have set before you a door, open, and no man can shut it. When it seems to have reached a dead end, God opens door. God has a road and it is our task to find it. "To find that road, find it, we must study our guidebook the Bible to find the way to the goals of life and a basic philosophy of life that gives us our ideas of right. "We must look for lights on the road ahead to get our direction, If the Gospel can give us the lant (Sec Dr. Sockman Page 6) !

"Why again send our young men out to be slaughtered?" "Why again sacrifice lives un necessarily?" I do not think that these lives are thrown away intentionally: I do not think that we are unprepar ed in order to make life harder for the wives, mothers and chil dren of our young men. I believe that those who complain now mis understand one of the most funda mental things of our democratic way of life.
