The Vice President In Italy
The treatment of Vice President
Hubert Humphrey in his visit to Italy
Is another reason for our taking a new
look at Foreign Policy, and foreign
aid. If we remember rightly, America
has been generous to Italy, and only
recently private sources have donated
millions to help restore damage done
by floods. The government did provide
security for the Vice President, but the
fact that such security had to be pro
vided reflects the general attitude of the
Italian people towards America. Much
Honor In The Right Direction
We were pleased to see in a recent
issue of the Journal, the picture of a
member of the Jaycees, and some senior
citizens, among whom were Mr. and
Mrs. M. H. Hoyle. As a member of that
large group of people now designated
senior citizens, we naturally appreciate
our generation because we have a better
perspective to view and evaluate their
worth. The recognition made by the
Jaycees attests to the high esteem in
which Mr. and Mrs. Hoyle are held
by all the people in Cooleemee; and that
esteem is merited by two people whose
There is a widespread alarm through
out America today over the rapid in
crease of crime, and what is worse,
the ineffectiveness of dealing with it.
This failure to deal effectively with it,
stems in part from the protectiveness
which the courts have put around crimi
nals. In their zeal to protest freedom,
they are moving towards protesting
crime, and destroying real freedom,
rhere are loopholes by the score through
which a smart lawyer can take his cli
ent to a criminal's freedom. Often it
happens that the circumstantial evi
dence is such as to impress the commu
nity of the offender's guilt, and they
are saying— "everybody knows he is
guilty, but if there are no witnesses to
swear to having seen the act committed,
the commonsense of the community is
ignored, and the criminal walks out
with his lawyer to freedom. Recent rul
ings of the courts make it difficult for
the police to apprehend and question
persons suspected or accused of crime.
Religion In The Here And Now
Norvin C.
Last week we were thinking about
;he Kingdom of God as it ought to ap
pear upon the earth. We must see this
great ideal as God's will and purpose in
man, and for man, in man's life upon
this earth. We see it embodied in law,
laws which grew up over a long period
of time in the experiences of the Chosen
People, and summarized in the book
of Deut. We said that there were three
key words—LAND, LAW, AND LOVE.
All summarized in the two Great Com
mandments of love to God and love to
neighbor. Today, we want to think a bit
more about the Land.

has been made at the fact that the
Church in Italy is a bulwark against
Communism; but the fact remains that
there is a large Communist party in
Italy right under the Popes' sight.
And there is the added fact that in
other European countries there is a
strong resentment against America
even in those where we have given
millions in aid- We could much better
use that money at home, rehabilitating
some of our own areas of forgotten peo
ple.

There is another item in the story
which intrigued us a basketball
game between the Jaycees and the Seni
or citizens. We suspect that the score
was purposely omitted, as being too
high on the side of the Jaycees. But
it must have been a sight worth travel
ling to see. NCD
The Crime Menace
The police are often subjected to rough
treatment by persons they seek to ar
rest, especially rioters. They are hit
with rocks, bottles, sticks etc., but if
the policemen start protecting them
selves rioters and the populace begin
to yell, "police brutality." But, police
men being human, sticks and stones
hurt them as well as others. They need
the sympathy and cooperation of the
public in combatting crime. It would
seem that in our zeal to protect cer
ain ideal situations, we have thrown out
the common sense that tells us a situa
tion is not always ideal, and that there
are other factors which make it neces
sary to deal with a situation with all
the facts presented. No society can long
endure without healthy discipline, but
for quite sometime we have had smart
lawyers, schools, and "sob sisters",
seeking to eliminate discipline, and
throwing protecting mantles over the
offenders. It is little wonder that crime
is increasing. NCD

It makes a lot of difference in our
attitude and thinking about the land
itself. We should look at it, and think
about it, with a read reverence, since it
is the source of our life. Bread is a
necessity. Man does not live by bread
alone, but he must have bread. The
industrial revolution has changed the
pattern of life, it has not, and never
will, change the fact that man must
look to the land for food to sustain life.
And, as God's creation, and man's ne
cessity, it should be held in reverence
and appreciation.
It is a good thing for a person
to begin his day with some such great
thought as: "The earth is the Lord's,
and all that therein is". Whereever we
look out upon the land we can see God
at work. "The river of God is full of
water; thou preparest their corn, for
so thou providest for the earth Thou
sendest rain into the valleys thereof—
and blesseth the increase thereof" He
maketh the grass to grow, and herb
for the use of man." '"Hie valleys are
so thick with com that they laugh and
sing."
Such an attitude towards the earth
itself can make all the difference in
the world as to how a person goes
through the day. It will give one a
sence of appreciation of God's bless
ings, and a gratefulness that will re
flect itself in health of body, peace of
mind, and a new sense of the dignity and
purpose of human life. No matter what
kind of day it may be--sunshine, clouds,
storms, snow, rain; say., "This is the
day which the Lord hath made; we
will rejoice and be glad in it"--for all
things are fulfilling His word, and
God, throughout the whole earth, yea
even the universe, is 'working for our
good.

60 SECOND SERMON
By
Fred Dodge
TEXT: "Can you imagine a football game without goals?"
—H. N. Casson.
The pitchman was addressing a sidewalk audience. Ladies
and gentlemen," he pleaded, "I have here the famous
flexible comb that will stand any kind of treatment. You
can bend it double—You can hit it with a hammer—-you
can twist it—you can—"
"I know, mister," interrupted a listener, "but can you
comb hair with it?"
* * •
The articles may have been miraculous, but what was
its purpose? Would it comb hair?
Many attractive people appear wonderful. They sound
promising and indicate that they will be most successful in
K«»aih» r anything that confronts them. Yet, lacking goals,
they aimlessly thrust in this direction or that, accomplishing
nothing. No life is completely satisfying without goals. Fixing
goals fills a craving of our deeper selves that gives life a
meaning. Then, as we purpose to reach our goals, we are
lifted by the rich surge of joy that comes with honest
effort whether or not we attain our goals.
This setting of goals and purposing to reach them adds
a dimension to living that goal-less men never know. Erect
goal-posts on your personal playing field. Then strive to
reach them. Every successful person has done this. Every
failure never did.
