 Golden Text, Romans; If ye live after the flesh, ye shall de. but if ye through the Spirit do morti- fy the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
 Excerpt rom daily Lesson-ser- mon: Romans: For ye have not re- vived the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
 Correlative passage from Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: In Science man is the offspring of Spirit. The beautiful, good, and pure constitute his ancestry. His origin is not, like that of mor- tals, in brute instinct. nor does he pass through material conditions prior to reaching intelligence. Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being. Cp. 63)

Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Maj. Thomas N. NioI

Or will it? Because Phil and his
girl have been planning to get mar
ried October Is. He won't have been
drafted by then. The executive Or
der quoted above says that any reg
istrant who has a wife" shall be
deferred from the draft. Well, il
Phil marries before induction, won't
he be registrant 'who has wife
and, therefore, be eligible for de.
ferment?. Won't he be reclassified
"Of course he will" you're saying
"Why wouldn't he?"
I But there's no "of course" abou
it. 1t will be entirely up to his loca
draft board to decide. He has beer
classified la and he must ask fol
Redistribution.
Since he has been engaged three
or four months. and since his wed.
ding date was established before HI
was classified Ia, his local boarc
might reclassify him. They might
decide the draft has had nothing al
all to do with his marriage aims.
But how about Harry T.? He falls
in love just a month before being
ordered to take his preinductior
physical. He also is found fit ano
is scheduled to be drafted in No.
vember.
Like most people who fall in love
he goes ahead and gets married
And then he asks his local board
to reclassify him to III-A.
Will the board do it? Selective
service headquarters can't give a
concrete answer. It is up to the
individual board, 1t says. So Harry
and Phil, too, will have to take their
chances. So will thousands of other
registrants who are altar bound.
A piece Of advice-sound out your
local board on your marriage plans
Don't assume you'll be deferred
(From Associated Press Newsfeatures.)
Evening star., 1948-09-27

The President, under the draft act,
was given permission to defer men
with dependents. That, Of course,
includes men with wives.
So the President, on August 20,
put out an executive order deferring
married men.
Here's what the order said: "In
class lila registrants with depend
ents) shall be placed Cd registrant
who has a wife with whom he
maintains bona f1de family rela-
tionship in their home = -"
Surely that means any registrant
who was married at the time he reg
istered for the draft. 1t also means
any registrant who is married at the
time his local board classifles him.
But the big question is-does 1t
also mean a registrant who marries
after he has been classified la
available for the draft?
Take look at the case of Phil G
Phil's been engaged for three
months. He is 81, has no depend
ents, is not veteran of any service
belongs to no reserve unit, is not
studying, is not engaged in essential
activity such as medicine, etc.
He's the kind of young American
the draft law specifically aims to
hustle into the Army for 81 months
He's la. d
Soon after Phil gets his classical
ton notice, putting him into the la
slot, he gets another notice. This is
an order from selective service to
report on a certain day for his pre-
induction physical examination.
Army doctors find him sound. So
his local board, advised Of the Army's
findings. sends him another notice
telling him he's acceptable to the
Army. From there on in it's strictly
a routine procedure which will end
with Phil in an ARMY camp.

Ministerial Council
Hears DR.. Robinson
On European Trip
By Cospor Nonnes

Many people in Europe do not
think the moral resources of our
country are sufficient to meet the
moral responsibilities thrust upon
U.S. DR.. Orris G. Robinson pastor
of. Calvary Methodist Church, de-
ciared today.
Speaking before a meeting Of the
Washington Ministerial Council At
Calvary Baptist Church. DR.. Robin
son was reporting to the group on
the impressions he gained while at
tending the first World Council OF
Churches meeting at Amsterdam.
He said many Europeans have a
distorted view of the United States
which they have acquired from our
movies and the actions of some tour
lists.
Afraid of Political Pressure.
The people overseas do not look
at us as we see ourselves, as a
great. benevolent people generously
feeding the world, but instead many
see US as a colossus dominating the
world" he said.
Warning that Europe is in the
throes of a revolution which has as
it's base bitterness and hatred to
a degree we cannot understand, DR..
Robinson declared the cleavage be-
tween East and West does not stop
at the border of the Soviet Union
or IFS satellite countries
Europe is afraid of naziism and
communism. he continued. but said
"the people also want to be free
He said that despite our gifts they
are afraid Of political pressure and
noted that "in our political pro-
gram we have not always kept our
right hand in ignorance of what ou1
left hand was doing"
Hopeful Signs for Future.
Referring to criticism by many
Americans Of the World Councils
condemnation Of both communism
and laissez faire capitalism, DR.
Robinson said IF we resent criticism
and close our minds there is little
hope our church will have any more
power tomorrow than it has today.
Despite the criticism, Dr. Robin.
son expressed belief that the coun-
Gil meeting was hopeful sign fol
future religious cooperation anc
influence in the world.
1t was announced that Gov
Youngdahl OF Minnesota will ad.
dress the 64th anniversary meeting
of the Central Union Mission at :
pm. October 10th in Constitution
