What contrast to the divine or
der, ministers and laity being caught
in the whirl of modernism; capti-
waited by sheer folly; being ensnared
by deception; Lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God" These
subversive elements are gradually
entering into the churches, the very
center of spiritual. moral, and
character development.

practices are hindrances to the main

ed last Saturday by being chosen a
member of the executive committee
of the Southeastern Ohio Teachers
association. Paul is to be congrat-

having its educators recognized as
leaders in the teaching profession.

der such leadership we can expect

on an even keel with no place for
such subversive ideologies as Com
munism, Nazism, Fascism and the
like.
