The great tragedy of the modern
world is that man has forgotten who
and what he really is. He is wor-
ried about it too. He is constantly
asking his teachers and scientists
and philosophers: Wont someone
please tell me who / ann"
And the world has given him
some answers, some bad, some
proud, but all of them wrong. He
has been told that he is an animal
and his only destiny is to satisfy
his material wants Give us bread,
and do with us what you like"
Or he has learned that he must
live entirely by his reason, that
he is naturally good. and that he
can find his own way out of all his
troubles.
These answers are fearfully
wrong. Because men have tried
to live by them, our world stands
trembling on the edge of disaster
Our only hope is to return to Gods
answer to this question.
His answer is reliable and clear
and true. He has told us that we
are all sinners, but that we have
been redeemed by the blood of His
Son. He has told us that through
Christ, and through Him alone, He
has become reconciled to US and
that we need no longer fear Him
here in time or hereafter in eternity |

Are We Destroying

The American people have again

have observed the holiday in ways
that appealed to them, ranging all
the way from a quiet time beside
some peaceful lake or stream to a
day of debauchery and drunkenness.

commissions Importance.
It's true the chairman OF the COM
mission would be in closer contact
with the President than he is now,
but he would be the Presidents
right-hand man on personal affairs,
rather than a representative Of the
commission.
Here are some of the changes the
Hoover group will recommend in
regards to the Civil Service Com
mission:
HIRING All job placements
wherever possible would be done by
the individual departments and
agencies. The bureaus would hold
their own exams and set up their
own job registers.
| The commission still would be in
the picture. but in the role of an
enforcement agency, which periodi-
cally would check to determine
whether violations, such as favorit-
ism, occur. The commission also
would set general job standards.
In addition, the "one out of three"
hiring rule would be abolished. In
dividual agencies would set up their
own job registers for applicants,
rating them as "outstanding," well
qualified," qualified" and "unquali-
fed"
Many Government officials can
didly say favoritism and patronage
would abound under such system
Anticipating this criticism, how
ever, the Hoover groups report will
contain recommendation whereby
the commission could remove any
Government oficial who permits
political considerations to govern
appointments. Whether this would
do the trick remains to be seen.
The Hoover group will cite the IVA
as an example of an agency in
which this system works well.
| AS in job retention rights, the
proposed hiring system also would
modify veterans preference. The
Hoover group will propose that vet
Grams should come ahead of nom
veterans on the various job registers.
but veterans would not have the
advantage they have under the
present system.
For example. a nonveteran on the
outstanding list could be chosen
for employment ahead of a veteran
on the well qualified" or quail
! fed" list.
This would not hold true, how
ever, in the case of disabled veterans
with 10 per cent or more compensa-
tory disability who, If on the quail
fed" list, would be considered ahead
of all nonveterans, regardless of
listing.
| Veterans with the same rating
would be selected over nonveterans
unless the agency gave an adequate
reason for skipping over the veteran.
Even so, however, the Hoover
group proposals would give a better
break to nonveterans, who, If they

These moves were the latest de-

They followed shortly after Mos

But there still has been nothing
