THE GREAT DELUsION

The great American delusion is
a fundamental misunderstanding of
the purpose of the Church Millions
of Americans believe that the
Church's primary task is to improve
morals of the community and to
make the world "a better place to
live in
The Church does do that, it is
true. But that is by no means its
primary purpose. Its first duty is
to bring individuals to a knowledge
of their personal guilt in the sight
of God and to a personal faith in
Jesus Christ as their Savior
1t will do us no good to continue
to look for fruits, if generation after
generation we fail to plant the
trees. Honesty. decency, loyalty,
purity-these are the fruits America
so desperately needs. But they are
the fruits which grow only from
| Christian hearts
The creation of Christian hearts
is the Church's primary business;
and a Christian heart is one which
has come to a penitent knowledge
of its sinful condition and has turned
to Christ for pardon, peace. and
power. - ST. JOHN LUTHERAN
| CHURCH.

LANCE TO DIRECT MONTANA
CRIPPLED CHILDREN SOCIETY

Billings, Jan. 17-(SpeciaD-Ha
Ian E. Lance of Chicago will assume
duties Monday as executive director
for the Montana Chapter of the Ma
tional Society for Crippled Children
and Adults, George E. Smell, chap
ter president, announced Saturday
Lance will make his headquarters
in Billings where the Montana or
ganization, in cooperation with the
state board of health, has estab.
lished a treatment and pre-schooI
center.
Prior to appointment as executive
director for the Montana chapter,
Lance served as psychologist for
the special rehabilitation section D., OF
the .eteran's Administrations Chi
cago regional offices. In that capac-
ity he worked principally with, ser
vicemen suffering from severe BRAIN
injuries.

served only through vigilance on the
part of its members. You welcomed
the opportunity of paying the price
of individual liberty by shouldering
the responsibilities of good citizen
ship.
Since those early school days,
however. along with millions of our
fellow Americans you and l have
retreated from the personal reSpon-
sibilities of American citizenship
and a free Society.
This retreat began many years
ago, but it did not assume the pro-
portions of a rout until, IN period
of beWilderment and fear, we turned
the reins of government to a mag
netic leader and relaxed our Wig
lance against the concentration of
power which in time can destroy
any free people. Since then, as a
Society responsive to the will of
the majority, we have chosen to
let the crop of individual respon-
sibility gradually wither away. We
have chosen to permit Security,
whether a weed or a desirable plant,
gradually to crowd out Liberty. We
have chosen to tramp down Free
dom whenever necessary to make
room for a crop of subsidies. We
have permitted greed for money to
oVerrun consideration of our neigh
bors: we have allowed indulgence
in fleeting pleasures and vices to
crowd out stable and honorable
family life; we have permitted can
ned and tainted Hollywood amuse-
ment to overShadoW self-expression
and the development of initiative
through wholesome active recrea-
ton. Failure to assume response
bility at the local level for pro-
viding adequate educational facili-
ties for our children, protecting our
soils and forests, maintaining our
roads, providing community ser
vices, and policing our own Society
has resulted in more and more
centralized aid and control in the
fields of education, agriculture, for
estry, transportation, assistance to
the aged and needy, and even pro-
vision of shelter over our heads
Many of us are demanding that the
federal government feed and trans
port and educate our school children:
take money from our pockets and
save it for our old age; compel us to
funds for maintaining a
gigantic government health mon
Oply: take over ownership of farm
lands and direct the activities of
the peasant permitted to operate
them; and otherwise to relieve us
of the responsibility of personal and
community thinking, planning, and
acting for our own good. We are
rapidly preparing our American soil
for the thrifty growth of Com
muniSm.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Demand for

Selling pressure was never very
