There Are Two Sides To A Question
What puzzles us is the fact that so
many news reports play up the worst
Rrhich may appear in American conduct
of the war in Vietnam, and say so little
about what North Vietnam is dang.
Groups of college students and other
groups, make vigorous protests over
our killing of the North Vietnamese, and
say nothing about the tortured, mutila
tions, and slaughter by the North Viet
namese. The Congress, and the American
people got involved in this war. It is
NOT a presidential war, either by Eisen

an idea that if the President and the
Will Man's Wisdom Ever Match His Intelligence?
The automobile is a wonderful work
of man. To see an automobile destroyed
is a terrible thing.
Man is a wonderful work of God. To
see a man destroyed by an automobile is
an even more terrible thing.
God creates man; man destroys him
self. In war and in crime, man destroys
other men in anger and cruelty. In the
automobile, man destroys himself and
other men without motive, without
thought, in blind and brutal coincidence.
God loaned man the gift of creati
vity; man used the gift to build a mar
velous instrument of convenience and
pleasure. And then with the perversity
Mass Medicine Creates Problems
"A crisis in medical care, long pre
dicted, now appears at hand in many
parts of the United States." This is
the opening sentence of a lengthy re
port on medical care problems that
have arisen in over-burdened hospitals
ahd medical facilities.
In 1958, American hospitals handled
13.4 million outpatient visits, including
emergency-room cases.-©}' 1965, the total
was 125.8 million, and so it goes. As
one Michigan adriiiriistrator puts it:
"This is an awful combination of medi
care, medical and basic economics."
It is becoming apparent that the

of a redemptive love. The Wesleyan

Millions of men and women have

gifts, worship—man's doing. They saw
it all as God's doing, as He applied love,
mercy, forgiveness, and strength to man's
needs. The cross snowed all that; God
did it because of His love for us, and
this was the basis for our love for Him,
and our service for Him.
The doctrine is still valid. It is by
grace that we are saved, not by anything
that we can do. Most professing Christ
ians, both Catholic and Protestants have
this doctrine at the heart of belief. But
we are living in a world of thinking
and action which sets it aside. Profess
ing Christians have set it aside, by
substituting the church as an institution
for the truth embodied in the doctrine,
and in their offering of buildings, litur
gies, appointments, artistry, and alms for
the poor. But, long ago, God declared
through His prophets that all these would
not be accepted unless righteousness and
justice accompanied them. The only
righteousness that we have is Christ's
righteousness, and it is in Him alone that
God can accept us.
The world has set the doctrine aside
because it sees man as self-sufficient. Man
does not need God, and so "God is dead".
All Christians then, ask God to apply to
them IBs redeeming grace, spelled out
in love, mercy, forgiveness But we for
get that God asks us to turn towards
our fellowmen in the same attitude and
the same kind of love, mercy, forgive
ness, and sharing of life that we receive
from Him. There is a second part to
the Law at love. Had Christians prac
ticed what they profess to believe in
we should not have had such things
as the crusades, slavery, feudalism, war,
and the troubled situation today. We
are reaping the fruits of our failure to
sow good seed. Result: We cannot over

John Vann B. Metts, presi
dent of the Azalea Festival
this year, says "We have all
the ingredients for another
outstanding program. The
Festival seems to get bigger
i every year, and we hope this

performances."
He described the upcoming
20th anniversary as "a signi
ficant milestone" in the history
of the Azalea Festival.
Preparation for the Azalea
Festival is a year-round task
for many volunteer workers,
and the planning begins to
take shape in the month or

volunteer workers under the
direction of division leaders

Behind The
Headlines
Maybe it's just a coincidence,
maybe something more. Of the
two prime health problems
that have been commanding
most headline space for some
time, both are in the same
general area—RD, or respira
tory disease.
The two problems are, of
course, cigarette smoking and
fact that they are being treat
ed as such urgent public issues
indioetes that at last, however,
belatedly, recognition is being
given to the importance of the
breathing organs as a major
battleground in the fight a
gainst disease.
But right now, as the hows,
whys and wherefores of air
pollution and cigarette smok
ing are debated in terms of
high policy, their practical
significance to the ordinary
citizen may tend to get lost.
The really pertinent question
remains, "How does all this
effect me personally, and what
do I do about it?"
Fortunately, there are an
swers available and good
ones. Several years ago a vol
untary health organization
launched a vigorous program
to educate the public about
the rudimentary symptoms of
chronic respiratory disease.
The watchword was (and still
is): "Cought too much? Short
of breath? You may have a
respiratory disease. Don't take
chances see your doctor."
This simple warning is still
being sounded the year round
Festival; from pyrotechnics to
parades, from clowns to cul
ture, and from beautfiul girls
to beautiful boats.
It is an annual celebration
devoted to fun and festivi
ties, built upon ever-increas
ing populartiy, and in honor
of the azalea which turns the
Wilmington area into a land of
rich color every spring.
