READ what NORMAN VINCENT PEALE, D. D says in an open
 LETTER TO
 THE CLERGY

am presuming to write to you and to my brethren of the ministry only because the subject at hand is of such grave importance. As ministers of the church we are vitally con cerned with the present decision regarding the maintenance of the ancient third-term principle.
 Religion gave birth to democracy and religion depends upon democracy for its strength in the future. The church has always been the cradle and citadel of democracy.
 Now we face threat to American Democ- racy. No man has ever before attempted to perpetuate himself and vast political machine in power by seeking third term. Bars are being let down, forces are being set in motion which can result in dictatorship.
 An American dictatorship would probably be more subtle and less crude than elsewhere, but none the less totalitarian. The technique is always the same. Five thousand years of recorded history reveal the method. Well inten- tioned at first, benevolent in appearance and perhaps in purpose, it inevitably results in the loss of the peoples liberties.
 Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, these cannot be tolerated by Relationships, for their exercise would under mine their power. It is obvious why dictators cancel them. Regimented business, regimented labor, destroyed labor unions, regimented farm ing, dependence upon vast cynical city political machines in the name of idealism, all of these are in the picture of developing American styled dictatorship.
 When President after eight years can im- pose his will upon . bewildered and fundamen- tally unwilling party once famed for it's freedom of thought, 1t is in essence a dictatorship, rationalize it as we will.
 We are not approaching this matter as parti. sans. Ministers ought not to engage in partisan politics. most of us believe. Nor Is this an issue regarding the Executive as . man who many ministers personally admire. We are dealing with principle involving something far more Fundamental than paFtisanship. The question is, "Shali we lower tine bars and permit ven. ture that can lead this nation in the future, under unknown personalities who may be motivated not by our traditions of freedom but by the eyniclsm Of power, to the abrogation of democratic and religious institutional"
 KpeFsonally feel thls 90 strongly that would not vote for my own brother for third term. No man or men have immunity to the eonoslon of pewer upon thelr souls. No man cF men shoula take stand egalnst basle tradition of eR democracy.

 says about a
 THIRD TERM

The third-term tradition is part of the armor of Freedom. It is a restraint against the abuse of power as such it finds many forms, written or unwritten. Free men have always sought means to prevent political machines from perpetuating themselves in office.
 The chief value of constitutions, written or unwritten, aside from prescribing the jurisdic- ton of various officers, and SO preventing con- fict and chaos, is that they place limitations upon power.
 Human liberty may be legally defined as restraint upon governmental power. When it is without restraint, there is no liberty, as witness Germany today.
 The anti-third- term tradition is one of those restraints. Washington, Jefferson and Jackson formulated 1t, but the three or four hundred million Americans who have lived since 1787 have silently ratified it. It is like the common law. In not less than 34 states it is expressly written in their constitutions.
 If there is any section of the country that has the obligation of history and party loyalty to oppose third term any President, it is the Southern states. Although most of the states of the Union have constitutional provisions limit ing the tenure in office of their chief executives, this principle was extended to the presidency itself by the Constitution of the Confederate 0IdlSSs 4uCy LldOC IL AulpOSSlOACp CtCA HI wal time, for President Jefferson Davis, or anyone else, to fasten himself upon the sovereign nation they were attempting to create. They intended to make it impossible for any man to obtain an unbreahable grip upon government.
 It is not strange, therefore, that the Demo crats of the South are especially concerned at the threatened violation of what they have always considered an important principle of free government.
 Not only Is there this historical background : but 1t is also the truth that the principle has been urged more powerfully by the Democrats than by Republicans. No two men did more to establish 1t as the unwritten law of the whole country than the two greatest names in the Democratic Party, Jefferson and Jackson. both of whom had two terms and could easily have had . third. Both of them repeatedly urged that the principle be expressly written Into Che Federal Constitution.
 For hundred and fifty years it has been the Democratic Party which has made the ehief fight against building up too great power ln the central government. As party, it was the lifst to declare ln its platform Of aeo6 that [. is the ''unwitten iaw Of this Republic that no nan should be eligible for thksd term Of the pFesi. dental office" This principle wee agaln asserted In tho platform Of iei7.

Today's Sermon
BY WILLIAM e. GILROY, d, d.
Editor Of Advance

The shadow of tragedy was draw
ing over the earthly life of Jesus,
and it was not long until He would
be going the way to Calvary and the
Cross which, in various ways lie
had intimated to His disciples, was
to be His destiny and theirs.
But with that strange contrast
that has been so often manifest IN
relation to great religious teachers
and leaders, we find Jesus on the
eve of Calvary in a scene Of popu-
lar enthusiasm in which He enters
Jerusalem virtually proclaiming or
acknowledging H i S Messiahshlp
while multitudes along the way cry,
"Hosanna," and welcome Him as
"the King that cometh in the name
of the Lord" -,
History affords many such ex-
amples of popular enthusiasm con
corning great leaders and teachers,
whose careers ended in martyrdom'
! Popular enthusiasm is very tickle.
and where devotion to a Christian
teacher is not based upon love and
loyalty and an understanding OF his
teaching, emotional devotion soon
runs out or even turns to hostility

1t seems doubtful whether the
people ever really turned agains1

popular opposition; for, when plate

as if this triumphal entry were at
variance with what Jesus had been
telling His disciples about the ma
ture of His kingdom. He had been
trying to make it plain that His
kingdom was not of this world, that
He had not come to set up material
power, but that He had a deeper
spiritual purpose.
Did not this triumphal entry into
Jerusalem, with the people acclaim
ing Him as king, gave an altogether
different emphasis? O n e would
think so, and one wonders just what
was its purpose.
May it not be that Jesus realized
that Ibis hour was come" and that
was a great outward avowal of His
Messiahship, challenging the faith
and devotion of the people as He
has already challenged the faith
and devotion Of the inner circle OF
disciples, inviting the people to
recognize His Messiahship and pre-
pairing the way for the fulfillmen1
of His earthly mission which was
so shortly to follow:
AS a part of this outward wit
ness to His own Messiatship came
the symbolic purging of the templ
and the driving out of those VIII
h-d materialized religion and. a
Jesus said, made the temple "a del
of thieves"
So extreme an acknowledgment o
His Messiahship, with it's challenge
could not but bring results. Will
the people welcomed Him, thrown;
their garments in the way of spread
ing palm branches and crying, "Hc
sauna to the son of David" tn
priests and scribes, the official re
representatives. of religion, were rous
ed to indignation. The very trump
of this entry of Jesus into Jerusa
lem may have intensified the oppo
sition to Him and hurried the event
that were bringing Him to His sac
rificial death.
