LESSON TODAY

bv WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. d.
The Third Epistle Of John con-
sists of single chapter of only
13 verses. It differs from most
books of the New Testament IN
the fact that it is address not
to a church or to a group, out
to an individual.
However, if it IS r reals
with a large theme; and if it is
addressed to an individual, its
theme and it's appeal relate to
everv individual who would toll
low the Christian way and mani
fest the graces of the Christian
life. For the relationship OF
which John writes ought to be
between all who profess to fol-
low Christ, and it is the hope
of establishing hat relation
ship among all men that const1-
tutes the highest ideal OF human
attainment.
The dominant theme of the
epistle. personal letter d6res-
sed to Gaius. is fellowship. or
the love of one Christian for an
other Several 'Gaius' are
found in the Me- - and
in the records of the a + y
Christian Church. There is no
clear indication concerning the
Gaius to whom John wrote. VINO
he was. or where he lived. Ef-
forts to identify him are only
forts to identify him are only
speculation.
: Perhaps that is just as well.
for it gives to what was original
" a personal letter, to one lndl-
vidual. a sort of impersonal. or
Observation-Disclosures interest. 1t
might be thought of as a letter
from John to any sincere Chris
tian friend, and even to you or
me. if we qualify in that respect.
What was it that was so dis
tinctive in the relationship that
led John to a dress Gaius as
Beloved? What is it that
makes Christian fellowship d if
ferent from. or beyond. any ordi-
nary close attachment Of one in
dividual to another We m u s t
surely realize that deep attach
ments do exist tha have about
them nothing that is in any
sense Christian, the very evpres-
sion "thick as thieves" is an
evidence that there can be deen
attachments on a very low
plane. and in very evil designs.
The Epistle makes it all clear
IN its very salutation. Gaius is
the beloved. whom John loves

which thew are bound. mere in

truth of practical Christian hv-

Fellow workers for the
truth" - these are the words
John uses, and they define the

working together, The world of

Four Sermon Thoughts

This is divine commandment.
Its violation makes life a bore,
banishes self respect. We should
try to make the world better for
our living in it.-Exodus 20-9:
Six days shalt thou labor.
Parents who deserve respect
are fairly apt to receive it. Youth
sometimes fails to appreciate pa
rental sacrifice, wisdom and love.
Don't wait till too late to show
appreciation and respect. - Ex-
odus 20:12: Honor thy father and
thy mother.
When you repeat an unbound.
ed rumOr you endorse a fraudu-
lent bill.-Exodus 20:16: Thou
shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.
A cOvetOus person is at heart
a thief. Rejoice in your neigh
bor's good fortune and try to de-
serve the same yourself.-Exodus
20:17: Thou shalt not covet.

RADIO TEXT TODAY
What Do The Mormons Be-
lieve, Told In
Story

I Text of the ninth talk in a spe-
cial series of radio programs to
be aired by the Church of Jesus
Christ, Latter Day Saints in Will
mington was released yesterday
by the branch president Of the
church, Robert H. Price.
The text follows.
"We believe in the gift o1
tongues, pr phesy, revelation.
visions, healing, Interpretation
of tongues, ETC."
"We have shown in previous
discussions that all men VINO Of
ficiate in the ordinances of the
Gospel must be commissioned
for their duties by the authority
of heaven. When so invested,
these servants of the Lord will
not be lacking in proofs of their
divine commission; for it is
characteristic of the ways of
God the. he manifests His power
by the bestowal of a variety of
ennobling graces, VIII i c b are
properly called fits of the
Spirit" "
"These are oftentimes exhibit
ed in a manner so different from
the usual order of things as to
be called miraculous and super
natural. In this way did the Lord
make Himself known in early
scriptural history; and from the
days of Adam until the present,
prophets of God have been en-
doWed with such power. When
ever the power of Priesthood has
operated through an or ganized
church on the earth, the mem
bers have been strengthened in
their faith and blessed in num-
erous ways, by the possession
Of these gifts" ?"
''We may safely regard the ex-
istence of these spiritual powers
as one of the essential charac-
teristics of the church; where
they are not. the Priesthood of
God does not operate"
''The prophets solemnlv de-
clared that the DAYS of miracles
will not pass from the church
sa long as there shall be man
upon the earth to be saved. "For
it is bv faith that miracles are
wrought; and it is bv faith that
angels appear and minister unto
men; wherefore, if these things
have ceased. woe be unto the
children of men. for it is be-
cause of unbelief, and all is
vain"
"To be valid as testimony
of truth. miracles must be
wrought in the name of Jesus
Christ and to His honor, in
Nfurtherance of the plan of sal
walton. They are not given to
satisfy the curious and the lust
ful nor as a means of gaining
notorietv for him through whom
they are ACCOMPLISHED. These
gifts of the true Spirit are mani
tested in support of the message
from heaven in confederation of
the words spoken by authority,
and to the blessing of indi-
vidua1s."

In attempting to follow Republican
policies through the actions and speeches
of congressional leaders, one finds no
hint that the party leaders-who, at
present, are counting on carrying the
1948 elections-are concerning them
selves in the least with problem number
one: How to prevent the next depression
They are greatly concerned that no
one should be put in control of the
Atomic Energy Commission who does
not Fundamentally subscribe to the
capitalist system. They repeatedly say
that the last elections indicated public
desire TO see the New Deal finally
liquidated.
But they do not seem to recall the
circumstance which led to the anti
Republican wave of 1882, and to the
first New Deal--the 1929 depression. AS
far as one can judge from the public
utterances of Republican leaders, they
expect that once the relations between
labor and management have been more
"eoualized," the capitalist system-free
of controls-will, of itself, assure the
Nation uninterrupted prosperity.
Now it is precisely this attitude on
which the Wallace New Dealers are
counting for victory-and much more
radical policy than President Roosevelts
not in 1948, but in 1852. And if
Republican leadership is going to count
on laissez faire to hold the economy
on keel for the next five years, M.
Wallace may yet emerge as major
prophet.
For a repetition of the disaster of
1929 is going to come as sure as death
and taxes unless it is averted with
more intelligence and foresight than
was displayed during the 20s.
1t is curious that the governing party
displays much less apprehension about
the American economic future than do
other countries, notably those Of West
ern Europe, who count so heavily for

their own future on the United States.
British, Swiss and Swedish econo-
mists are expressing anxiety over the
economic and social effects on the
world of another American depression,
which will come when American busi-
ness slows down on its present high
rate of capital investment.
American business certainly will slow
down at one time or another-in two,
five or seven years unless great new
enterprises develop, or capital is prof
ltably invested abroad in ways that will
provide outlets for American capital
goods or loans to foreign buyers widen
foreign markets, or the United States
continues heavy buying for the benefit
Of the public. The creation of mill
tary establishment or some great ven
ture like the colonization of Alaska,
and/or the extension of public works in
the realm of education. health and
housing are examples of justif1able
Government buying.
But as far as one can see, the Repub-
lican party is not planning ahead in
any of these directions: in fact, 1t re-
jects them all. 1t would, in the event
of a recession, be utterly unprepared.
1t Is too bad, because the Republicans
actually command more disinterested
economic brains than the Democrats
as well as having more to lose from an
economic debacle. They certainly ought
to be able to plan more effective coun-
ter depression measures than the New
Dealers were able to devise after the
depression had arrived.
Much Republican criticism was con-
structive, but many sound plans ad-
vanced by COP advisers to President
Roosevelt were shelved. First-rate
thinking on antidepression measures
was done in the '30s, by committee
of which Ralph Flanders, now Re
publican Senator from Vermont in the
place of Senator Austin, was member.
But If any thinking on the matter Is
being done now. we see no signs OF 1t.

The Corfu Straits Case

AIIlOuSu Cfle dispute between
Britain and Albania cited before the
Security Council of the United
Nations is unlikely to develop into
a major diplomatic issue, the legal
aspects involved are of some i'm
portance. Still more significant will
be the way the case is conducted.
Should political considerations COM
plicate a purely judicial handling,
the prestige of the Council might
be compromised
The facts of the case are as fol-
lows: Some one laid mines in the
narrow strait between the Greek
island of Corfu and the Albanian
mainland. Although this strait is,
at one place, only trif1e more than
a mile wide, it has from time i'm
memorial been an international
waterway, rightfully used by the
warshipS and merchant vessels of
all nations. The international char
acter of the straits is emphasized
by the fact that it has likewise
formed a political frontier for CEN
turies, Corfu and the mainland hav-
ing been under different national
Jurisdictions since the Middle Ages.
Although the Corfu Straits, like
many other parts of the Mediter-
ranean Basin, were mined during
the war. these mine fields we're re-
moved after the close of hostilitieS
under authority of an international
board, and the Corfu Straits were
assumed to be mine free. Last Oc-
tober, a British naval squadron
passing through the straits was first
fired upon by Albanian coastal bat
teries. Shortly thereafter two Brit
ish destroyers successfully hit mines
and suffered grave damage, includ-
ing heavy loss of life. The Albanian
government not only disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the incident but
declared the entire strait Albanian
coastal waters. Later, when the
British Navy, acting upon the
unanimous decision of the interna-
tional board, sent minesweepers to
clear the channel, Albania declared
this action fragrant violation OF
it's integrity" incidentally, an ex-
animation of the swept mines
showed that they were new and
had been freshly laid Britain
claims that the mines could not
have been laid without either direct
Albanian official action-which is
denied by spokesman for Albania
or knowledge and connivance, since

Keep the Lid On

veterans Administrator bradley
has presented to Congress con-
vincing case against the removal of
ceilings on job-training benefits to
war veterans. If the Treasury is to
contribute subsistence allowances
not only to veterans in real need of
this aid but to those who are willing
to take it whether they need it or
not, the whole veterans aid pro-
gram will be placed in peril.
There has been a growing tend
ency among veterans to regard the
subsistence program as form of
adjusted compensation-a bonus, in
other words. But it is nothing of
the sort. 1t was intended to aid the
veteran whose opportunities for edu-
cation and job training were inter-
rupted by war services 1t was not
intended as extra compensation for
employed veterans who. although
earning good salaries, may consider
themselves in training for better
jobs.
General Bradley correctly points
out that unless a ceiling is main
tanned on subsistence payments there
is grave danger that the money ap-
propriated for sound and useful"
job-training programs will go far
afield. Veterans urgently in need of
training will be the chief sufferers
from this diversion of part of the
funds to those who neither need the
money nor the training.
There may be some merit to the
contention of many of the veterans
that the existing ceilings are too
low, in view of rising living costs.
A trainee with no dependents now
may not claim subsistence if he
earns SITS or more a month. If he
has dependents, he may earn up to
5000 a month without losing the
allowance. If his earnings in each
case are under these ceilings, he
may receive up to $65 If single, or
$50 a month If he has dependents,
In no case may earnings and allow
ance combined exceed the SITS and
5000 ceilings.
There are half dozen bills before
Congress providing for higher CELL
ings and for increased subsistence
payments. They call for ceilings
varying from $3.50 to $3.50 month
for single veterans and from $500 to
$400 a month for those with de-
pendents. If the provisions for
higher ceilings and larger payments
in one of the principal bills under
consideration should be enacted, the
total additional cost would amount
to more than a billion dollars the
first year. That is not the end of
it, either. For If able-bodied trainees
are entitled to these higher benefits,
how about the totally disabled vet
Grams who draw only $138 month?
And how about the lesser payments
to the more than 1000, 900 other dis
abled veterans?
Obviously, the lid on veterans
appropriations must be put on at
some reasonable level and held there
against the pressure which is de-
veloping for new and bigger veter-
ans benefits. Otherwise all hope of
balancing the budget in the fore
seeable future will go glimmering.
