The bipgest, problem with both
mpn an " missiles Is guidance.
Guid - your own life, is your
chief p-oplem.1 Guiding our! child
ren is t e problem of parents and
educate Ever since 1232 A.D.,
when e Chinese defenders of
Kaife. : pita! of Honau Province
stot r r.ts against the beseiging
ntmv ic son of Genghis Khan,
iocki siles have been. hard to
gui-Je i missiles and men get
wim- ion. from the escape of
the explosive forces within them,
That is, unless the missile explodes
on take-off, as the first captured
German ;!V-2 did when they test
fired it at White Sands. Man has
Within him explosive instincts, like
hunger, sex, self preservation, and
curiosity, which impel his life into
patterns of behavior, but a life
lived only by instinct is on the lev
el of, the animals. Missiles are giv
en aim by pointing them to a target
and attaching fins which press
against the air and keep them on
a flight path- Man has intelligence
and be can use his mind to adjust
to his environment and choose ra
tional goals.
Aristotle said only the examined
life is worth living. Never the less,
reason and education are not alto
gether good guides for living. Rea
son, or dialectic as the communists
say, cannot see far enough to mea
sure consequences of action. It is
swayed by environmental ideas as
a rocket is deflected by the wind.
Education fits a man with a set of
more or less excellent notions, pre
judices, and convictions which tend
to hold him in a way of life, like
the fins on a rocket, but he tends
to run a set course with obstinate
inflexibility unless pushed into
some other way by circumstances.
The Germans fitted a guiding
mechanism in their V-l and V-2
rockets, made of gyroscopes. They
were adjusted to fixed direction
and so could guide the missile on
its flight in relation to unchanging
bearings. Man has an in-built guid
ing mechanism called conscience.
It can get out of order and give
warped guidance. Conscience can
be set by eternal moral principles.
Ancient Abraham turned from the
gods of his native land, which were
but man made notion of gods like
men. He sought the real God, the
God of truth, holiness, justice, and
mercy. God answered his seeking
souL He walked out by faith with
a conscience set to the eternal prin
ciples of the law of God. As we find
God's moral laws, from observation
of life, from the witness of others,
or from the word which God has
given us, and set our consciences by
those moral laws, we have a good
guidance for living. , ' , f " ."
Some rockets are radar controll
ed. Men can have a communion
with God so that they are willing
to let the Spirit of God blow upon
their hearts and minds and set them
aglow , with gladness in the grace
of Jesus Christ and love for God
and man. A .aplrit of such a man,
touched by the Spirit of God, using
all the other means of guidance;
and receptive to the promptings
and warnings which come into his
soul after prayer and self examina
tion and counsel -with his fel)w
Christians, baa the highest format
guidance known', to man for making
a good flight through the circum
stances of this life and a happy
landing in that city which has foun
dations whose builder and maker
is God. Unlike missiles of warfare,
but like the rockets used to shoot
a line over a sinking ship by the
life-saving services, his life shall
bring forth good.
"Then said Jesus to those Jews
who believed in him. If ye continue
jn my words, then are ye my disci
ples indeed; And ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make
you free." (John 8:31, 32).

Here it is the smoothest handling, the most flex
ible and powerful tractor in its class. It's the kind
you've always hoped would come along.
For the first time on a tractor of this type you'll
find a standard draft control 3-point hitch. Think of
the great range of implements it will take of its
extra convenience!
Think what its greater power can do, too. Here's
plenty to speed along with two 16-inch bottoms. And
you get key starting, four working speeds, easy tread
adjustment, full clearance all around.
oome in soon see the snappiest
2-plow row crop tractor ever built!
