Freedom
Individual liberty is one of the
teachings of Jesus. It goes hand-in-hand
with personal responsibility.
How can man be held responsible
for his acts unless he is free to de
termine how ha shall act? The un
derstanding that certain rights are
" verybotly's rights, and that "no-'man
can rightly deprive another man of
them, is an idea for which the world
is indebted to Christianity.
Compulsion in religion is older
than history. Every nation's lore is
colored with tales of forced worship.
In fact, the history of Christianity
is marred with a shameful record
of coercion. Just the same, obedi
ence to Christ is voluntary or it is
not obedience at all, and (being an
cvery-day thing) Christianity live
and grows best in surroundings of
personal liberty.
A Moral Duty
Opposing dictatorship, resisting
infringement by a few upon the lib
erties of many, is a reverent act of
fidelity to the source of all freedom.
No government is perfect; no eco
nomic system is perfect. For that
matter, no church is perfect. All
are subject, more or less, to lead
ership by Imperfect people. Never
theless some principles are right
and worthy of vigorous defense.
Harry Emerson Fosdick said,
"One of the great hours in history
struck when mankind ran into the
idea that all the people should unite
In making laws, which then all the
- people should obey. Behind our
pitifully fallible experiments with
representative government stands
the ideal, worth everything our fa
thers gave for it and all that we can
give the democratic state."
Godless Laws
One-man governments traditional
ly become jealous of their subjects'
loyalty to God; covetous too, per
haps, of their tree-will offerings,
large or small Rarely do totali
tarian states begin at the church
when they start cutting off people's
: liberties. They get around to it in
the long-run, however. There are
' about enough exceptions on record
to prove the rule.
Dictators usually start their tres
passes on freedom by presuming to
say who shall engage in trade. It
is the natural way to commence.
Never do they find a . large class
in commercial pursuits, so they can
begin grabbing power without antag
onizing a majority. The next big
strategy Is to dominate the news.
'By this method a dictator, can make
itila people think what he pleases. '
Step at a Time
With buying and selling pinched
under government's heel, one emer-
gency follows another, accidentally
or by design; either way serves the
purpose. Consumers, the class most
hurt by government In business, nev
r learn the truth if press and radio
are under control. Selfish rulers
snatch away comforts and dole out
confusion and suspicion, the chains
of serfdom.
Traditionally tyrants work this
way; it has happened all along
through history. After business la
confiscated and the news agencies
,selied. the people are poisoned with
imaUce, and malice destroys living
'souls. Americans who value their re
ligious liberty have no choice but to
defend representative government,
ifree enterprise, free speech and free
(press. They can fight on the front
Itat and win, or wait to fight la the
2tjxench end i .

NEW HOME LAUNDRY
GOING ON DISPLAY
Duplin housewives will soon
have a chance to learn how to
wash their clothes from an expert,
according to S. W. Marriner of
the Warsaw Appliance Co., in
Warsaw. The Bendix Home Laun
dry Institute which is sponsored
by the Bendix Home Appliances,
Inc., of South Bend, Indiana, is
now training Home Service Di
rectors, who in turn will instruct
the housewives in the proper laun
dering techniques for all types of
materials and fabrics.
Edwina Nolan, Director of the
Bendix Home Laundry Institute,
and nationally known home eco-1
nomist is in charge of the training
program and soon expects to have
Home Laundry Specialists train
ed, representing every section of
the United States. "Today, when
economy is uppermost in our
thoughts, it is essential that the
housewife knows how to launder
jso that the washing will be most
i gentle on the materials. War time
has produced many new materials
and fabrics which were unknown
a few years ago," Miss Nolan said,
'and we feel that the American
woman is interested in iremui& ei , .
garments so that they (will giveld bV Mrs B T WilUams ef
the maximum amount of service."
According to Miss Nolan, the
Bendix Home Service Directors
will also be experts on home plan
ning and their advice will be avail
able for anyone desiring to rear
range home kitchen-laundry, or
in planning a new home.
ARMY WANTS
70,000 MEN
Atlanta, Ga. Sept 10. The
Regular Army today opened its
ranks for the enlistment of 70,-
000 young men of the 7 southeast
em states comprising the Fourth
Service Command.
This action offers the triple op-
j portunity of a career, education
and patriotic service to residents
of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi,
I South Carolina, Tennessee and
I North Carolina.
Soldiers now in the service, vet
erans and other qualified civilians,
interested in an Army assignment.
are eligible.
Postwar Army needs center on
i .
the occupation of enemy coun
tries, with the end of comoat miS'
sions, numerous advantages are
offered young men by the Army
which compare favorably with
most civilian jobs. In addition,
Major General Edward H. Brooks,
commanding general, Fourth Ser-(
vice Command, called attention to
this fact:
"The men choosing military ser
vice in the future will be the guar
dians of our victory the guar
antors of the peace won by our1
armed forces. A peace that cost
this country more than 1,000,000
casualties nearly 300,000 dead.
A peace we must keep.
"Maintaining and keeping this
peace will be truly a service not
only to the nation but to all man
kind."
Enlisted men in the Regular
Army, while engaged in military
duties, will find ample time to
study in the various educational
programs established for their
benefit. Practical training in skill
ed employment will accompany
vocational studies, thus qualifying
men interested in the trades for
much better civilian jobs if they
choose to leave the service at the
end of their three-year-enlistment.
For those choosing the Army as
a career, the benefits of security,
the best medical care, dependents
benefits and liberal retirement
features will augment their mill-
tary pay.
