RACK-STAGE OF POLITICS
A foreign diplomat has confided
a local newspaperman that the
koreign legations in Israel are re-
uctant to acquire permanent
homes for their offices and per-
Iounel because they feel that Tel
Ayiv is only a temporary seat of
he Israeli Government and that
he administration will be trans
ferred to Jerusalem.
AS a result of this attitude and
of the current housing shortage,
the finding of lodgings for the
daily increasing number of foreign
representatives. in Israel is Gre
biting headaches for the foreigners
themselves as well as for Israel's
Foreign Office. 1t may be signifi-
can't that the first foreign repre-
sentatives to acquire a permanent
hOme--in Ramat Gan-were those
who arrived late-the British.
One hundred Greek residents of
Jerusalem, who had heretofore
been restricted to a military zone
along with Arab and other resi-
dents of doubtful loyalty, have
bow been accorded full freedom
pf movement. Most of them are
artisans and are now employed on
Army orders.

meets with the human the infinite with the finite the

There's something of that about Easter. Christianity
chiefly concerned with the spiritual speaks of things
that be Virtues and vices grace and sin; and
its main occupation is the saving of mans soul-which

And yet here, Easter have one OF the greatest
festivals of the Christian concerned frankly with

just as human as any born of woman.
Jesus rose from the dead and by His action He set the
capstone Christianity, proving in that one dramatic
miracle the reality of His Godhead and the invncibe
truth of His teaching.
But beyond that He elevated our human body and
gave it new dignity dignity that before Him
had ever dared envsion for it. This body of ours so

And Newman is right. Heather thinkers when they
considered the body alwas less apologzed for
it. and in their speculation afterfe, immortality
was always for the soul and conditioned on the TALL

And yet each year. Easter sets us right IN our tnnk-
