The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Unfortunately the commandment,
''Thou Shalt Not Kill" is not taken
at its par value. We usually limit
it to criminal murder or manslaughter
and do not realize that its scope is
far, far greater. And we often sub
ordinate it to the demands of the
state, saying, in fact, that it does not
apply in the case of punishment for
crime or in the case of taking up arms
for nation.
But the commandment should be
taken at its par value. 1t is always
wrong to take the life of another per-
son, and no other consideration is
greater than this. Capital punishment
is no exception. The state has no right
to take a criminals life. And war is
no exception. National safety or ma
tional honor does not suspend the va
lidity of the injunction All attempts at
juStifying or identifying manslaughter
should be disavowed. War is murder
and should be stamped as such. Life
is gift from God, and no human
being has the right to take life. "a
ton where he has to choose between
taking life and permitting life
to be taken. In that case he has to
choose-not between right and wrong
but between two evils, and the choice
becomes his own personal RESPONSE
bility. If there be clear case of
a war of self-defense, the defending
hoc 70 hot
ting murder or repelling the murderer
by the means of murder, and also in
that case there is a choice between
two evils. But let us speak softly of
wars of self-defense, and let us never
cease looking for the third way out).
But we can take life in many other
ways than by direct murder or man.
slaughter. We can do so indirectly
or assist in doing so-by careless
ness, by suspending sane judgment
through the use of intoxicating liq-
uor, by endangering the lives of 9TH
ers through the consequences of our
acts. We can gradually destroy a
persons life, or happiness, or will to
live, through hatred and jealousy,
through SANDER and annoyances
Strictly speaking, who can say that
they are not guilty of destroying life
or life values for others.
The commandment should really
be taken at more than par value; even
to take it literally is not enough.
Christ taught us this in the Sermon
on the Mount 1t is not enough not to
have killed. We must not hate; we
must not be jealous; we must not
even be annoyed with another If we
do this, we do not live life of love
but are on the road that leads to
destruction. We can therefore never
be at ease in the dissatisfaction of
not having broken the fifth COM
mandment.

eral officers and employees. Most of
the negative votes came from MEM
bers whose states do mot have an
income tax. Others voted negatively
because they felt it should be done
through constitutional amendment.
No one questioned the fairness of
the proposal. Indeed, no one can
for there is no good and valid rea-
son why all should not pay the same
taxes. No doubt the law when fin
ally enacted will be carried to the
courts but it is generally believed
that it will be upheld. AS passed by
the House, the measure would re-
lieve all those affected from any re-
troactive taxation.
Just What did He Say?
That is the question our people
are asking. What was said by the
President at his secret conference
with the Senate Military Affairs COM
mittee some days ago. MIR. Roose-
welt has emphatically denied he told
the Senators that the Rhine is our
frontier, but l have yet to meet a
Senator who attended the meeting
who is willing to deny that the Presi-
dent did say that France is our
frontier" Well, there is little or
no difference.
The American people will never
again go to war to make the world
safe for democracy" We did that
% years ago and we have not for
gotten the lesson we then learned
Our motto now is-"Stay at home
and attend to our own affairs" We
have enough problems to solve to
keep us busy for years to come.
Old Age Assistance.
| The Ways and Means committee
of which / am member, is now
holding hearings on the Social Sc
curity law. Already we have been
at it for more than a week and it is
quite generally believed that we will
be at it for another month or two
as scores and scores have asked to
be heard
Up to now the proponents of the
General Welfare bill have held the
floor and many more remain to be
heard, among them Dr. Townsend,
who has attended all the hearings
to date and probably will be heard
ere this appears in print. Some very
interesting testimony has been given
and more is to follow. It appears
reasonably certain that the present
pension law will be materially liber-
allied as a recovery measure and to
relieve the unemployment problem.
Would Liberalize Board.
What promises to be the most bit
terly fought battle of this Congress
was launched last Thursday when
Senator Burke (D-Nebr) introduced
in the Senate comprehensive pro-
gram for revision of the Wagner Labor
Relations act
Senator Burke would curtail the
board powers of the board under
which it acts as complainant, inves-
tigator, prosecutor and judge by per-
hitting respondents to petition re-
moval of hearings to the local u. S.
District Courts. The bill also pro-
vides for the reorganization of the
board with one representative each
from employees, employers and the
general public instead of labor par
tisans," and under its operation both
employees and employers would have
