We watch pre* conferences with
nixed feelings. We realize that auch con
ferences can be useful; but we are not
made happy by the techniques used so
often. It is not a pleasing experience to
see a reporter making his way into a
hospital or to the scene of an accident,
[dying questions which obviously is pain
ful to the person interviewed. In other
instances probings with questions un
der circumstances which make it diffi
cult to make events clear under the
stress of the moment. Many persons In
terviewed find their statements twisted
into the interpretation of the reporter,
and not at all what the interviewed per
son meant
A case in point was the Press con
ference of Svetalana Alliiuyeva, the
daughter erf Joseph Stalin, who defected
from Russia and seeks residence in the
United States. Here was a woman, who
had suffered the bereavement of a hus
band, and surely a great struggle in her
own mind bout leaving her homeland,
Religion In The Here And Now
On May fourth in 1967 we commem
orate the Ascension of our Lord into
heaven. That event is described in Acts
1:9-11. As He was ascending, and the dis
ciples were gazing upwards, we are told
that two men stood by in white apparel,
and said to the disciples, "ye men of
Gaßilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? This same Jesus shall come
again." What is also implied here Is that
the disciples were to go back to Jerusa
lem, wait for the promised outpouring
of tire Spirit, and then go forth into the
world Witnessing for Christ. They would
be empowered by the Holy Spirit to
carry on in the world what Jesus came
to do.

and separation from her children. The
reporters gathered around her like a
bunch of little boVs in excitement over
a game, each yelling for her to face his
camera. Questions were handed to her
which endeavored to probe the inmost
secrets of her life, her motives, her in
tentions. and even what she was going to
do with her earnings from her writ
ing.
We thought that Svetlana conducted
herself well. She has been brought up
In an atheistic philosophy of life, but had
come to have a belief in God. Russia
is an atheistic country, and a govern
ment of dictatorship. America is regarded
in Russia as A Christian country. We
keep wondering If the reception at her
first press conference made a favorable
impreaakm for Christianity, or for our
democracy. Mere was a person who is
trying to find God, and to find herself
and her mission in life. We would have
been much happier If the news reporters
had made i better witness for democracy

Th# insurrection and ascension of
Jesus Christ so confirmed man's hope
For after death, that Christians be
gan overlooking this present world and
looked to the life beyond. It soon re
solved itself Into fixed beliefs that re
ligion meant accepting Christ as Lord
and Saviolir, and Witnessing by certain
rites and ceremonies, which were pass
ports to heaven. This aspect of witnessing
turned men's minds away from the fact
that Jesus came ifito this world to re
dean it, and that He became involved in
all of man's experiences and needs. And,
He left Mis church in the world to carry
on His work. An ancient liturgy has a
prayer which says. "Like as we believe
our Lord Jesus Christ to have ascended
into the heavens, so may we ascend and
with Him continually dwell." That means
much more than going to heaven when
we die; it means that the Christian lets
Christ think through his mind, love
through his heart, and be at-one with
Christ in His will for the world. Saint
Paul says: "Let this mind be in you
which was in Christ Jesus." Religion has
a lot to say and do about this present
World. The prayer which Jesus gave us
says; "Thy Kingdom come; thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven." When
Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this
world. He did not mean that it had noth
ing to do With this world. The power
must come frOm above, but it must find
application in redeeming this world from
hatred, prejudice, injustice, poverty, and
sin. Jesus touched life, not only in area,
but in depth. He became involved in all
of man's needs and problems—And that
is what He founded His church to do.
Man fa Actuated by two motives; the
drive to get money and the fight to
keep it
was used in accepting the
tempting offers. Interesting
ly enough, this was exactly
what was happening.
One gentleman with whom
I was talking declined some
tasty-looking-and - emailing
tidbits with the remark.
"Thanks, I've had one."
A tall slender woman looked
over the appetizing table
spread carefully, hesitated
over the olives, the ham and
the rye bread, and departed
with a plate bearing two car
rot sticks and three
pickles. Another not so tall
nor so slender, helped herself
liberally to a variety of good
ie, including several varie
ties of sweet cookies, and re
marked jauntily to the group
■round her, "1 know I should
not"

tea in great quantity and 4M*
borate variety. It is quite pos
sible, in the course of a pleas
ant hour or less at a reception,
to eat and drink the caloric
equivalent of a full meal. In
moat instances, it is also quite
possible to make a judicious
selection of snacks so as to
conform to sensible dietary
principles. They can be part
of your daily selections from
the four food groups the
milk and meat groups, fruits
and vegetables, breads and
cereals. An J one can do this
without taking the joy out
of the occasion. One need not,
and should not, be a dietetic
killjoy in order to exercise
sense about between-meal eat

It is possible, too, to com
pensate for the common holi
day of convention practice of
going from one paiity to ano
ther by skipping or greatly
curtailing the preceding meal
I in anticipation, or by skipping
the following one. And while
you are at the party, don't
make it obvious that you are
being cautious if you are.
It doesn't hurt to go over
board once in a while. But
not too often. In any event,
dta't blame the snacks. They
are good, if wisely used.

60 SECOND SERMON
By
Fred Dodge
TEXT: "The worst bay is an alibi." E. G. Letennan.
A trail had reached the stage where the defendant's
wife was permitted to testify in an attempt to establish an
alibi.
"You are positive you know where your husband was
on the night the crime was committed?" asked the prose
cutor.
"All I can say," replied the good woman, "is that if
I didn't know, then I busted a good rolling pin over the
head of an innocent man."
* * ♦
We all make mistakes, bat why do we alibi them rather
than admit the obvious? It probably is pride that causes
an excuse to fly to oar lips without thinking. Usually, this
alibi is the worst buy we can make. A discerning accuser
can expose us in an even more humiliating manner than the
original error.
If we will admit an error or short-coming honestly, with
out trying to bluff it through or abiii it, we'll remove much
of the sting we feel from our fault. Further, we'll gain
sympathy from those who admire someone who faces his
error and takes the blame.
When you "pull a blooper", don't shout an alibi. Be
silent a moment. Consider. Remember, "The worst buy is
an alibi." Then admit your fault.

Right now there are about

longer than men on the aver

It's 1,276 to 1,000. By the
