Protestant Reformer Martin
Luther called the Epistle of James
"a right strawy epistle" and openly
regretted the fact that this letter
had ever been included in the
canon of the New Testament.
Others have had a similar reaction.
The reason for this unhappiness
with James is to be found in the
presumed conflict between Paul's
teachings about "salvation through
faith" and James apparent empha
sis upon "works' instead of
"faith."
The conflict seems obvious:
Paul: "For we hold that a man is
justified by faith apart from works
of law" (Romans 3:28).
James: "You see that a man is
justified by works and not by faith
alone" (James 2:24).
But the conflict is more apparent
than real. The two scripture pas
sages quoted quite out of context
are not mutually contradictory. In
fact, when we examine them more
closely, we find that they are simply
approaching the same truth from
two different perspectives.
The problem is in the meaning of
the word "faith."
For example, James asks us:
"If a brother or sister is ill-clad
and in lack of daily food, and one
of you says to them, 'Go in peace,
be wanned and filled,' without

giving them the things needed for
the body, what does it profit?"
(2:15).
What James is really saying here
is that that kind of "faith" is not
faith at all. The faith that is
expressed only in cheerful words
instead of helpful actions is not the
faith that Paul speaks of in
Romans. It is mere belief and there
is a big diffeivicc between belief
and faith. "Show me your faith
apart from your works," challenges
James (1:18).
Two illustrations are used by the
apostle. First, the example of
Abraham offering his son Issac
upon the altar. It was not enough
for Abraham to believe that this is
what he was to do, but for him to be
willing to act upon that belief.
Because he was ready to follow his
belief with action, James says,
"You see that faith was active along
with his works, and faith was
completed by works..." (2:22).
The second illustration seems
strange to us, but it is well suited
for his point. Rahab was spared
destruction, not just because she
believed the messengers were from
God, but because she acted upon
that belief and "sent them out
another way" (2:25). Thus, as with
Abraham, it was not a matter of
belief or works, but belief and
works. These two together com
prise faith,
Called And Failed
Dupree Knocks No-Shows
Judge Joseph Duprce thinks he
can save taxpayers S3 million a
year.
During a news conference held
Monday in Fayetteville, the District
Court judge divulged a plan to cut
down the number of no-show
(called and failed) traffic cases in
court. The plan would allow police
officers to take a motorists's license
at the time of a traffic violation and
issue a receipt, holding the license
in lieu of bond.
A no-show in court would then
automatically give the driver a
guilty conviction and his license
would be suspended for 90 days.
The plan also limits the number
of times a case can be continued in
court.
According to Dupree, who ad
mits devoting many hours to com
piling this plan, a great backlog of
cases accumulates because of these
no-show violators. When the cases
are called and failed, then law
enforcement officers must locate
and serve warrants on individuals
who miss their court dates.
Dupree's S3 million estimate
stems from figures supplied by
Cumberland's Sheriff Ottis Jones
on th approximate cost involved in
sending a deputy to serve the
warrant. Jones, who also attended
the conference, said that the cost to
taxpayers ran between S25 to S35
per each called and failed case.
Dupree noted that 8,000 traffic
cases were called and failed in the
Past Yields To Future
In A Changing Egypt
By Donald J. Frederick
National Geographic News
The future tense dominates
conversations in Egypt.
Egyptians and the growing num
bers of Western scientists and
businessmen sharing their destiny
all seem to be preoccupied with the
future of the country.
As Thomas J. Abercrombie
points out in the March National
Geographic: "Egypt seems always
to have been dominated, over
shadowed, by the power of her
past. But now, after months of
roaming this parched land from
Port Said to the upper Nile, from
Sinai to the great Western Desert. I
have come away convinced that
Egypt, at last, has overtaken time."
In contrast to nearlv two decades

Y. I new pot led. Saad*rs MBI She #32 .4J3,
/
of Gamal Abdel Nasser's rigid
Arab socialism, President Anwar
Sadat has encouraged an open ?
door policy that has begun to raise
the country's economic morale. He
has sent Soviet advisers home and
mended diplomatic ties with the
United States. He has invited
private business investment in
Egypt by Western nations as well as
by his more conservative, oil - rich
neighbors.
Revenues from the reopened
Suez Canal -? and oil discoveries in
the Gulf of Suez - now offer hope
for the country's debt ? ridden
national budget. In the hostilities
of October 1973 and the U.S.
-assisted cease ? fire settlement that
followed, Egypt got back a strip of
the Sinai Peninsula occupied by
Israel for six years.
These events restored to the
average Egyptian the dignity and
self - confidence crushed in the
humiliating defeat by Israel in the
six - day war of 1967. Says a young
artillery officer: "We proved that
Arabs can win a battle -- and that
the Arab oil weapon is something
that even the superpowers must
consider."
Heavy dependence on foreign aid
still haunts Egypt's economic
master plan. But a growing in
dustrial complex, like the 100.000 -
ton - capacity aluminum smelter at
Nag Hammadi, gives new hope.
Egypt's brightest prospect, how
ever, remains oil.
The country's proven oil reserves
total 3.9 billion barrels. Thirty -
five international companies have
signed agreements with the state -
owned Egyptian General Petroleum
Corporation to explore promising
areas in the Gulf of Suez and
Egypt's vast Western Desert.
Egypt already is producing
enough oil for its own needs, and
the goal is for a million barrels a
day by 1980, enough to make the
country an established oil exporter.
The future bonanza depends
heavily on a lasting peace in the
area. To exploit the oil fully, Egypt
counts on getting back the rest of
the Sinai Peninsula from Israel.
Despite the ambitious schemes
and reclaimed land, Egypt still
cannot grow enough to feed its fast
- multiplying population of 40
million. Much of the land is
planted in export crops: cotton,
oranges, rice, and potatoes. Profits
pay tor imported grain.
PLAN Judge Joseph Dupree "burned the midnight oil" to compile a more
workable plan to deal with traffic violators who fail to show up for their
court dates. These no-shows cost taxpayers millions of dollars each year
according to Dupree. \ Photo by S.H. Aplin )
12th Judicial District which in
cludes Hoke and Cumberland
counties.
State Sen. John T. Henley, who
also attended the conference, ex
pressed approval of Dupree's con
cept which developed as a result of
a communication from Sen. Henley
to Dupree requesting a letter
explaining an idea that he had
heard Dupree express from the
bench last April.
Dupree expanded the idea into a
six-page letter outlining the current
law and the problems caused by it.
He pointed out that reciprocal
agreements with other states call
for the traffic violator to comply
with the terms of the citation or his
license will be suspended. But
according to General Statue 20-24
(c) (3) the local violator who avoids
court and service of a warrant for
ninety days will skip the fine, the
expense of coming to court, plus
court costs. Instead he passes 'GO'
and collects a voluntary dismissal
from the district attorney at the
expiration of the 90 day term. His
only penalty will consist of points
assessed against his driving record.
Dupree suggests that the collec
tion of the license at the time for
the violation would save taxpayers'
money, law officers' time and
insure that the law treats all
offenders equally.
Dupree's plan would allow an
accused driver to drive using his
receipt until his court date, which
would be scheduled within 120 days
of the violation.
The person could, instead of
losing his license, waive trial and
pay his penalty fine, or he could
retain his license by posting a
security bond.
If the accused is found not guilty,
the license would be returned
immediately. A no-show case would
become an administrative matter
for the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
Dupree added that the S3 million
estimate was, in his opinion,
conservative. Instead, he says that
a true picture of the taxpayers' loss
would bring the figure up to S10
million a year in the state spent on
called and failed cases.
