National
.Education Week
.National Education Week will be
"observed In the United States from
November 11 through November
17th. The week's observance is
sponsored by the National Educa
tion Association, the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers and
the American Legion.
' We realite that there are too
.many ' "weeks" observed in the
United States. In fact, if you look
'into it, you. will find that every
week in the year is taken by one
:r more organization, or industry,
aa "National-so-and-so Week."
. Perhaps, .the observance of no
special week is more important
than the observance of National
Education Week. The purpose of
the observance is to acquaint
Americana with the problems and
progress and facilities of educating
our children.
of the countrv.
parents will be invited to visit the
schools. We urge all parents to
do so, since the schools in the com-;
' munity are an investment in the
f nture, and citizens should be ac
quainted with the. facilities they
are providing the young people in
their community facilities' which
will be translated into the tools
citizens of tomorrow will use in
running the world we leave them.
Is Russia Bluffing?
The 'strong diplomatic action of
the U.S.S.R. in recent days in ef
fect threatening Great Britain and
France if thev continue to exert
force against Egypt can only be
considered1 as a bluff on the part
of (he 'Russians.' i; " t:':'-i-If
this "threat is considered oth
erwise, and if the Russians follow
through with their threat, the world
is headed for World War III. We
do not ' believe ; the Russians are
ready to plunge the world into an
other all-out war for several rea
sons. '-
First, the Communist empire is
having its troubles. While some
say that this could make the men
in the Kremlin desperate, and lead
them to take steps towards war as
a means of rallying people behind
them, this does not take into con
sideration the fact that the Rus
sians, would obviously be starting
the war. themselves, if they sent
troops all the way to Egypt The
Russian people would even sense
this fact. ' '
Second, the Russians would have
to become involved with the North
Atlantic Treaty Alliance countries,
and flgh't them all,- if she were to
send' troops to Egypt. She has no
way to get her troops to Egypt
unless she would go through, the
Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey or
Greece, or. perhaps Iran-'through
which facilities are not good.
Moreover, she' would face the task
of getting them across the Red
Sea, or the Suez e Canal, i the
Egyptians, which territory the
British would, control by the time
any Russian forces of size reach
ed the area.: ;' w- . k
Thirdly, the history of Commu
nism shows that the Russians do
not precipitate a world war-7-or any
major war which they are not cer
tain they can easily win. If they
were to plunge the world into war
at , this point .over Egypt,, they
would be fighting a war over the
Suez Canal issue, and it should, be
remembered that the British had
troops in the Suez Canal zone un
til a few months ago, and if they
are reestablished there, that only
amounts to continuation of the
status quo, as of a few months ago.
So the Russian war would be start
ed over a very questionable issue,
and would run counter to all Com
munist political and diplomatic his
tory. , For these reasons, and others,
the Soviet threat to England and
France must be considered bluff.
As a bluff, it was a dismal failure
in England; at least, since it was
rallied support behind Anthony
Eden, who was having tremen
dous difficulties at home in gain
ing support for forcefifl re-entry
into the Suez Canal zone.
There is nothing like a blunder
ing threat from the Russian Bear
to bristle up a quiet, reserved na
tion, such as England, and the Rus
sian .threat created ; more "support
behind ' Anthony Eden ': .thqn : any
thing any Englishman, American or.
Frenchman jcould have said or
doe. (' - v' j 1
The Impotence
OfTheU.N.'
The United Stales' resolution,
calling for a cease-fire in ,the war
between Israel and Egypt, and its
veto on the part of Britain and
France proves again the impo
tence of the United Nations. ,
. For. the first time in UN his
tory, the United States split with
its British and French allies on a
major crisis." The British - and
French delegates wielded the veto,
and. it was the, first, time Britain
has used the veto since she joined
the United Nations.
Russia in a strange, role voted
with the United States in favor of
the "cease-fire'' resolution. . Russia
has used the ' veto many times, but
in this case -. it was the , British
French vetoi which . ruined the ef-'
fediveness of the' approach being
attempted by the United States UN
delegation.

Memory Selection:' "Blessed are
they which do hungtfr and thirst af
ter righteousness, for they shall be
filled." ' - Matthew' 5:6.
Lesson Textt Matthew 5 441.
As the reader probably knows,
three chapters in Matthew's Gospel,
in the form of a sermon by Jesus,
make up what we know as the Ser
mon on the Mount. Our lesson for
this .week is taken from a portion
of that memorable sermon i ;
. While it is possible that this ser
mon may have been delivered ajl at
one time, the probability is that
the author of Matthew's gospel col
lected extracts from numerous dis
courses, using them , to make' more
complete .the sermon .delivered by
Jesus to the twelve disciples, , im
mediately y after : he had . selected
them. ,; jj 4 ,', ;i , 4, 4 ; ' ,
Luke, in the sixth hapterto his
gospel, reports a sermon of about
thirty verses, against the ode hun'
dred and seven of Matthew.; How-J
ever, in other parts of Luke's gos
pel there are about thirty-four oth
er verses corresponding very close
ly to utterances placed by Matthew
in the Sermon on the Mount.
Matthew gives this sermon prom
inence at the beginning of his ac
count of the Galilean ministry, and
it faithfully summarizes the teach
ings of the Master at this time."
The impression of the sermon has
been profound, and has greatly in
fluenced the conduct of men of all
ages. In it are to be found the
principles of much wise legislation
and the foundation for the rights
of man. 1
St Augustine, in the fourth cen
tury, gave it its name. Other writ
ers have called it the Magna Char-
ta of the Kingdom of God. Cer
tainly, it is s beautiful statement,
in simple language, of the princi
ples which were being actually liv
ed and advocated by Jesus himself.
We are not surprised that, accord
ing to Luke, Jesus spent the pre
ceding night in prayer before he
delivered this great address.
The sermon topens with a state
ment of those spiritual principles,
so difficulty understood by a ma
terial and practical world. If vers
es 10, 11 and 12 are counted as
three, there are ten Beatitudes.
Luke in his gospel only has four.
The firit, fourth, second and eighth
in order, followed by four woes to
those who seek to receive their con
solation in this earthly life.
The spiritual truths contained in
the beatitudes were entirely in op
position to tne ruling philosophies
of Jesus' iday. i Even yet, the spirit
ual development of man has npfcyet
reached the state where they are
generaly accepted by the majority
of the people. . In all ages, man has
sought his happiness. Some have
mistaken transient blessedness for
permanent happiness and content
ment. Naturally, each man's idea
of happiness depends upon his de
sires and ambitions.
' Jesus is setting forth, in these
strange verses, a formula for eter
nal contentment and happiness, not
particularly for happiness on this
earth. He teaches that happiness
is not dependent upon circumstance
es, but upon the individual's rela
tionship to God it is an inward
call unaffected' by exterior- surroundings.
. The Italian Papini, in his life of
Christ, says there are three races,
"The first was that of the animal
without law, and its name -was
War; the' second was Barbarians
tamed by Law, whose highest per
fection was Justice. This is the
race now living, and Justice ihas
not yet conquered War, and law
has not yet supplanted animalty.
Tbe third is to be the race of real
men, not only upright but holy, not
Jike beasts, but like God."
'We would urge our readers to
turn to Matthew's gospel and go
through the fifth chapter; After'
the beatitudes, Jesus 'discusses the
iuence -,of his disciples in . the
world. Then he shows the : rela
tionship between his doctrines and
those of the Mosaic Law, illustrat
ing the advances made in the mat
ter of anger, impurity, profanity,
and jthe treatment of enemies. In
the last section occurs his in junc
tion to "love your enemies." Hu
man nature still has much of the
primitive , and imperfect to over
come. ". ' . ; .
