Yep" he answers. That's it.
Ireckon the most sentimental guy

HOW ANDREW KNEW
AROIJT JESJJS

A NDREW got his impressions OF
"A Jesus firsthand. When he heard
John the Baptist say, "Behold the
Lamb of God that taketh away the
sin of the world" he went on to in
quire about Jesus, and Jesus babe
him and John spend the day with
him. They did, from 10 o'clock in
the morning until late afternoon.
That was enough. Andrew knew
from that day about Jesus. He was
now ready to tell others what he
knew about Jesus.
Do we know Jesus well enough to
tell others about him? If a fisher
man could tell the story effectively,
cannot everyone? But let us re.
member this, no man can introduce
his friend to Jesus until he himself
knows Jesus.

No words can describe Judge
Montgomery better than the words
used by Governor Wright at the
time he appointed Judge Mont
gomery as Supreme Court Judge
to fill the unexpired term of the
late Chief Justice Smith. Cover
nor Wright at this time said:
mississippi suffered a great
loss in the passing of Chief JUS
tice Sydney Smith. He had serv-
ed our people faithfully and ef-
ficiently for over 40 years.

known that, when Judge Smith
gave consideration to resigning
some months back, I had said /
would appoint Judge Malcolm
Montgomery to tn Supreme
Court bench should the vacancy
occur.

Judge Montgomery is now serv-

Cnurt of Mississippi. He was ap-
pointed as a member of the Court
by Governor Fielding l.. Wright
On July 81 to fill the unexpired
Sarm of Chief Justice Sydney
Smith, recently deceased, which
term has seventeen months to run
and ends on January 1, 1850. He
now respectfully asks the vote OF
the people for a full term begin
ming January 1, 1850.
When the office of Judge Smith
became vacant there remained an
unexpired term of approximately
seventeen months to be filled. I'm
der the Constitution and Laws OF
Mississippi, 1t was the duty and
responsibility of the Governor to
fill this unexpired term by appoint
ment. There is no way under the
law by which this unexpired term
could have been filled by elec-
ton. Governor Wright has ap-
pointed Judge Montgomery and
Judge Montgomery is 10Y serving
and will serve the balance OF this
unexpired term extending to Jan.
uary, 1860. The election on Aug

THE MAN WHO
OTHERS

T ET'S look for a moment at some
IL of the people Andrew brought
to Jesus. We begin, of course, with
Simon, his brother. Here, ! think,
is the highest test of his ability to
tell others about Jesus-bringing
his own brother. 1t is often easier
to tell strangers about Jesus than
those of our own family.
And now we see Andrew yonder
in the multitude, finding the lad
with the loaves and fishes, and
bringing him to Jesus. That is the
test of seeing the right person at
the right time. And again this is
the acid test Of introducing people
to Jesus.
Again, we see Andrew sensing the
fact that some young Greeks had
come a long way to see Jesus. He
knew how to help them. In this
incident we see the final example
Of winning people to Jesus-cultured
Greeks, who were familiar, we may
assume, with the current thought
Of the world. But this simple fish
erman of Galilee knew how to APP
proach them, how to gain their
attention, how to bring them to
Jesus.

Boeing Offers To Protect Workers

SEATTLE, -(P)-The Boeing Airplane Company today promised protection" to any of its l4,800 strike-idled workers who passed through picket lines to return to work.
 Work is available for those who apply" the company said.
 At the same time, company of ficials repeated their refusal to attend a federal conciliation ser vice meeting set for today in Washington.
 The decision to boycott the Washington meeting was based on the company contention that the 19-day-old-strike is illegal. The striking Aeronautical Mech anics Union QnO has lost it's col lective bargaining rights under the Taft-Hartley Act, the comp any holds.
 Cyrus Ching, conciliation ser vice director, informed company officials Saturday that he is with out authority to compel attendance at the session. He had invited representative of the company and the International Association of Machinists Qn0, parent of the Seattle Local.
 A Boeing spokesman denied that the company's protection" pledge was designed as a "back- to-Work" movement "to break the strike" as described by union of ficialS.

 The Patrol, which is a separate voluntary civilian organization a. part from the USAF, may be as- sisted by the Air Force when on authorized search and rescue mis- sions at the present time.

Plans are being worked out in the United States to establish a chain of sta tions throughout the States so that CAP may maintain separate radio facilities.

Soviet Union May Risk Showdown

Continued from Page One, quest for a temporary draft and universal military training.
 The House groups formal re- port-accompanied by a singing dissent by a five-man minority was issued as Senate Republi- can leaders confirmed the top priority they have given all de- fense legislation between now and the June 19 adjournment date.
 The committee majority recom- mended prompt passage of bill by chairman Andrews R-NY) to draft men from 19 through 25 for two years service.
 The majority reports warning of possible Russian showdown in- tentions coincided with a state ment by Gen. Jonathan Vain wright that the Russians would launch an all-out war only as a Hast resort"
 But the House Committee said recent Soviet moves in Europe such as the Communist victory in Czechoslovakia-have convin- ced it that "the Soviet Union may now be willing to risk a show down on the assumption that the future can bring only Worsen- ing of the Soviet position"
 This drew a sherp retort from the minority headed by Rep. Short R-MoD.
 This is a program for war, y declared the five-man dissenting group. We do not believe that a sound and adequate defense system requires the police-state methods of compulsion."
 Negotiations by the US. Sov- jet joint commission looking to the establishment of a Korean pro- visional government broke down completely last year after the commanders in the two zones were unable to agree on practi- cally anything.
 After the failure of the joint commission efforts, the Soviet north Korean commander last year proposed that occupation forces of both nations be with drawn simultaneously, permitting the Koreans to organize their own government. The US. rejected the plan and to it was noted that the Korean Communists had de- veloped an army of 100000 men. South Kerean moderate leaders have repeatedly warned that if the US. gets out it will be but a matter of days until that army takes over south Korea.
