MeH SENATOR SAM nvw ? SAYS WASHINGTON - The Nation's Capital has seen many demonstrations in the span of its history. The tempo of protests has accelerated in recent years, but until last week, for the most part the rallies and the marches have been within the bounds of the constitutional freedom which guarantees "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." Clearly, however, the May Day demonstrators' actions cannot be condoned as lawful conduct sanctioned by the First Amendment. Any reasonable review of the demonstration leads inevitably to the conclusion that it was conceived and carried out as a conspiracy to halt by unlawful means the processes of the FederSl Government. While one can and should tolerate peaceable demonstrations which have a legitimate purpose, there can be no justification for actions which seek to block highways, streets, and bridges, and which deny users of these traffic arteries their legal rights to travel in safety and free from criminal interference. For the present purpose, it is unnecessary to chronicle all of the criminal acts perpetrated b\ these demonstrators. Nor is it essential to recount that I have always been a great believer in the right of the people to meet and petition Government for a redress of grievances by their lawful actions and words. What is of importance, now that law enforcement officers have restored order to this City, is to distinguish between permissible and non - permissible conduct under the First Amendment guarantees in a day when our whole system of government is being challenged. These relevant truths should be our guideposts. The First Amendment undertakes to make the minds and spirits of men free. To this end, it guarantees to every person in our land freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. One may exercise these freedoms either as an individual or in association with others having a common lawful purpose. Furthermore, the First Amendment expressly recognizes a collective freedom, i.e., the right of the people "peaceably to assemble and to petition government for a redress of grievances." Moreover the right of dissent, which is the right to differ from others in opinion, may be said to be a part of the First Amendment. Under our Constitution, men can be punished for what they do or fail to do, but not for what they think or believe. Even so, it is abundantly clear that the Amendment requires that all of these freedoms be exercised in a peaceful and law - abiding manner. This requirement is explicit in the declaration that those who wish to petition government for a redress of grievances must assemble peaceably, and is implicit in the nature of the freedoms themselves. They are designed to enable people to inform and persuade others, not to coerce them. Also, the Amendment does not authorize any acts whatever except non - violent acts tantamount to the freedoms it secures such as peaceful demonstrations and peaceful picketing, which merely proclaim the views of the particupants and do not infringe on the rights of others. These things being true, the First Amendment freedoms do not legalize, or exempt from punishment, the acts of those who commit crimes or incite others to commit crimes. No nation can prosper nor progress when the rule of the mob supersedes the rule of law, and if society must resort to the enforcement of the law. when reason ceases and demonstrators resort to the tactics of anarchists, that is the price all must pay. The prophecies of Amos and Hosea were alike in that ?Both accused Israel of breaking her covenant with the Lord. ?Both condemned the people's indifference to the injustice festering within their land. ?Both condemned the substitution of insincere worship for the practice of righteousness. -Both decried the growth of self ? indulgence as a way of life. -Both attacked the idoltry whwh the Israelites had learned from their neighbors. ? Both proclaimed suffering and destruction for Israel unless the people would repent and return to God. But Amos and Hosea were different in that while Amos was a prophet who spoke solely of the judgment of God. Hosea also spoke of God's persistent and compassionate love. The difference, of course, was largely the result of Hosea's own experience with Comer, his wife. Through this experience Hosea had come to a deeper understanding of God's nature. In the hymn. "Beneath the Cross of Jesus." by l:h/abeth C. Clephane. we sing And from my smitten heart with tears. Two wonders I confess: The wonders of His glorious love. And my own unworthiness. These two wonders, each pulling in a different direction, keep following us throughout the Bible. Though they seem contradictory of each other, we must never forget either of them. Without the remembrance of our unworthiness. the knowledge of God's glorious love becomes a cheap and common thing. Without the reality of his grace, the fact of our sinfulness becomes a burden too heavy to bear. We see both of these elements combined in the Now in the 44th year of his reign. Hirohito has been a head of state longer than anyone else alive today. Unlike long - term rulers Haille Selassie of Ethiopia and Chiang Kai - shek of Nationalist China, however, the Japanese emperor's duties are only ceremonial. . message to Hosea: When Israel was a child. I loved him ...I took them up in my arms. I led them with cords of compassion ...I bent down to them and fed them. (Hosea 11:1-8) There, of course, is also the theme of man's unworthiness; The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and burning incense to idols. (11:2) This is not so much the condemnation of an angry judge as it is the cry of a rejected father. These are not mere criminals, but rebellious, errant children. The injury involved here is not concern for a broken law. bui the pain of a broken relationship How an 1 give you up, O Ephraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! This is difficult to understand for man often gives love only upon certain conditions. "I will love you if you will be loveablc," is the basis of much human affection. Often this in only the promise of a conditional love: Do this - "get good grades." "buy me a car," "do what I want," etc - and then I will love you. What God gives to his children, however, is not a proposition, a deal, a promise of something to come, but the declaration of something which already exists: God loves you now, as you are! It is [he knowledge of this unconditional love from which there conies the power to change and become what he desires us to be.
