was at first realized. He en-
tered M. c. v. on Wednesday of
last week and returned home

in better condition, now and

DR.. w. L. Purifoy, the president
of Morris Booker has been a sick
man for sometime and it is UNI
fortunate that a successor can't be
found to carry on efficiently as
president of Morris Booker in
Dermott. He is an outstanding
leader among the Baptists
other denominations, but it is
doubtful that sick man can give
his best to but one thing and that
is try to regain his health, The
college is not covered up in debt,
and the leadership of the Regular
| Baptists State Convention seems
| to keep an eye on that point, for
| it is a fact that one man can sink
an organization so deep in debt
that it takes a generation and an
other generation to get them out.
Both Arkansas Baptist College
| and Morris Booker College will
/ need money not only to carry on,
but to expand.
There are some essentials things
necessary for support and expan-
sion. First, there must be unity
and full cooperation on the part
of those who are expected to sup
port an institution.
Secondly, you can't expect much
from those who support what you

A new SOCIAL
FORM

Development n d progression
imply gradual stages or degrees
For example, spiritual advance
ment may be likened to the light
Of early dawn. Although this dawn
is dim and pale wise man views
the march of the sunrise at It's
beginning can foretell the ascen-
deney of the sun in its full glory
and effulgence. He knows for
certainey that it is the beginning
of its manifestation and later 1t
will assume great power and po-
teney. Again, for example, If he
takes a seed and observes that 1t
is sprouting, he will know as
suredly that it will ultimately be-
come a tree Now is the begin
ming of the manifestation Of the
power spiritual, and inevitably its
potency of life forces will assume
greater and greater proportion.
Therefore this twentieth century
is the dawn or beginning of spirit
uaI illumination and 1t is evident
that day by day it will advance,
1t will reach such degree that spir-
itual effulgences will overcome
material intelligence and the heav-
emily light dispel and Danish earth
ly darkness. Divine healing shall
purify all ills and the clouds of
mercy will pour down its rain.
The Sun of the Reality will shine
and all the earth shall put on its
beautiful green carpet. Among the
results of the Manifestation of
spiritual forces will be that the
human world will adapt itself to
new social form, the justice of
God will become manifest through
out human affairs and human e.
quality will be universally estab-
lished. The poor will receive a
great bestowal ana the rich at
tain eternal happiness For al
though at the present time the
'''h enjoy the greatest LUXURY and |
comfort. they are hevefthsiesS w
prived of eternal happiness; Tor |
eternal happiness is contingent up
on giving and the poor are every
where in the state of abject need.
Through the manifestation of Gods
great equity the poor of the world
will be rewarded and assisted full
" and there will be a readjust
ment in the economic conditions
of mankind so that in the future
there will be no abnormally rich
nor the abject poor. The rich will
enjoy the privilege of this new &C.
onomic condition as well as the
poor, for owing to certain provi-
vision and restriction they will
not be able to accumulate SO mcuh
as to be blrdened by its manage
ment, while the poor will be re-
lieved from the stress of want and
The rich will enjoy his
palace and the poor will have his
cottage Abdul BAHIA

News Of a Gift


IT IS good news also when we hear
: of legacy or gift OF some sort,
especially when it is something we
could not have expected. And the
story Of Christmas is the news about
God personally entering the life
Of man. II is God giving us him
self. True, the world is full Of the
gifts of God.
In the Child Of Bethlehem, In
the Man he was to become, in
the work he was to do, there
was a new thing-the self-giv-
ing of God. That is one reason
why Christmas means infinitely
more to a Christian than to any
one else.
For the non-Christian, the story
of Christmas. for all its charm, is
only another story Of child born
to poverty. doomed to pain--an-
other chapter in the long agony Of
man. For the Christian. the story
of Christmas is the Good News of
how God gives himself. for our
sake.

early 1942 were set arbitrarily te
challenge Americans, according te
the secret papers Of Harry Hopkins
At the same time, the capital OF
the world shifted from London to
Washington, to the embarrassment
of Prime Minister Winston Churchill
Lord Beaverbrook and even the
British Empire.
Further, Mr.. Churchill did not
"wheedle and cajole" Mr.. Roosevelt
to whip Germany before concentrat-
ing on Japan, despite American
pressure to do otherwise. 1t was
Mr.. Roosevelt's own decision, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hopkins, and 1t sur
prised even the British.
These events are described by
Robert E. Sherwood in Golfers
Magazine in another Of series Of
articles based on the papers Of Mr.
Hopkins, President Roosevelt's right
hand man during the war.
The war goals announced by Mr.
Roosevelt in . message to Congress
in 1912 were so huge that they were
greeted with both derision and
despair.

Hopkins reports, said:

Reds Offer 10 Restore
Power in South Korea
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

|
SEOUL, Korea, July 2. Russis
broadcast a conditional offer today
to turn the power back on in tn.
American zone of South Korea /!
the Americans will deal with the
Korean Communist regime in thu
north.
The American refusal to deal with
the Communist North Korea Peo-
pies Committee was what caused
the power to be cut off in the first
place last May IA. The United States
does not recognize the Peoples Com
mittee.
The offer was in a letter by Maj.
Gen. S. P. Merkulov, Soviet COM
mander in the north, which was read
over the radio at Pyongyang, Rus
sian headquarters.
The broadcast said it was ad-
dressed to 1t. Gen. John r. Hodge,
American commander in the South.
Gen Hodge told a reporter he
hadn't received the letter and didn't
care to comment.
Gen. Merkulov's letter said the
power, from three dams which sup
ply three -fourths of South Korea 4
needs, would be switched on if the
Americans would turn over to the
Peoples Committee the goods which
have been collected here for pay
ment of power used since June, 1947
The letter reported the committee
had decided" to send representa-
tives to Seoul to take delivery on the
goods and reach an agreement on
electric power to be supplied to
South Korea in the future"
