Democrats Look For Clues
The bulk of party officials, how
ever, remain uncoTnmitted to any
nomination candidate and still are
undecided about Eisenhower's future
political plans.
Many Democrats still are asking
each other if Eisenhower's Washing
ton visit has turned up any clues as
to the Generals availability for their
party's nomination in spite of a NetU
York Times story that Truman
offered to help Eisenhower get the
Democratic nomination.
Both the President and General
Eisenhower have denied the story.

KOREA: Reds Follow Old Tactics at Panmuniom

PROPELLER DRIVEN plane
L A flew near the Panmuniom
area this week and dropped some
U.N. surrender leaflets. The wind
blew few of the leaflets into the
truce village and the Communists
asked for an explanation.
The Communists did not try TO
claim the neutrality of Panmuniom
had been violated by the incident at
first In fact, Allied officers considered
the matter closed. When Red demands
at the truce table began to bog down.
however, the case was reopened. The
Communists charged the U.N. with
violating the neutrality of the truce
site.
Communist truce negotiators kept
hammering away in Panmunjom for
a buffer zone across Korea and an end
to the shooting now. The Allies want
ed an armistice agreement signed,
sealed and delivered, before setting
up any cease-fire line. They felt the
Communists would use the opportu-
nifty afforded by an end to the shoot
ing now to build up their strength
behind buffer zone. There would
be no armistice terms to prevent them
from doing so.
USAF Blasts Airfields
The US. Air Force reported this
week that the Communists are work
ing around the clock to complete
three airields in North Korea. If the
Reds can complete the fields, north
and northwest of Sinanju, they can
move some of their growing air
power from Manchuria down closer
to the ground battlefronts
To prevent this, radar-guided
B-29's flew over the fields almost
every night this week scattering 100
pound bombs along the runways.
American Air Force officers believe
constant repair work has prevented
the Reds from making much progress
toward completing the fields.
On the ground, most of the fight
ing was in patrol strength as the
Allies stabbed deeply into Red ter
rltory around Kumsong

II is something like that with the
church. 1t has many uses which n
seldom discovered.
Tell the Church
THE main and most important
4 feature Of the church is that It
is a fellowship. This should be far
more. far deeper. than a mere
label.
One rarely-used function of
the church was suggested by
Jesus. In a quarrel, he said, the
first thing to do Is to settle 1t
between yourselves. II that will
not do, then take a few people
with you and see If a small
group can reach agreement. If
not then tell the church."
Probably the average congrega-
ton today, as a whole. would be a
poor judge of quarrels. But sup
pose some church tried the expert
ment of forming a kind of consulta-
tion-group, made up of the wisest
and most Christian persons in it;
and suppose members of the church
who had differences which would
ordinarily be taken into court, we're
encouraged to consult those coun-
selors for help-wouldn't some
quarrels, that now reach the courts,
never get that far?

Making Love Real

THE fact is, II there had not been
! real fellowship in the church
all these centuries. it would not
have lasted as it has. No outfit
can run on and on for centuries if
all it does is to provide jobs for a
few jobholders.
No, there has been real family
fellowship in the church. It does
moi always come out in official ac-
tions of church boards, but the
thing is there. Preachers talk about
love. and Sunday school lessons
mention it. But this is not all. There
are enough persons in the church
making love real. tsee Moffatt's
translation of | John 3:l8), to more
than justify the church's existence.
A poor woman who was In
the grip of the drink habit had
a Christian woman friend. This
friend said to her, when you
feel the craving coming on,
eve II It's In abe middle Of the
night. cali me and I'm Come
right dewn and ven fight u
threAgh and pray u thfesgA -
geshes."
That was what did IL. Not the
sermons. not the books on tenn
perance, but the fellowship OF q
woman who would get up in the
middle Of the night to heip her
friend through desperate struggle.
Happy is the person who finds
a, church where there are people
like that. For that is what Christian
fellowship is: making the other
persons cause and troubles your
own.

Common Treasury

Common Treasury
COME weeks ago it was suggested
~ here that in some communities
the church sees to it that no mem
Der of the church goes without a
job. 1t is also a fact that in some
congregations either a committee OF
the officers, or the minister, is en-
trusted with a fund. sometimes
called the Deacons' Fui;d and some
times the Emergency Fund, to be
used in taking care of real financial
emergencies. for the benefit of the
members.
Sometimes IL Is used as a
revolving loan fund, sometimes
as outright gifts. No detailed
accounting Is made, because ii
is important that no publicity be
given to the needy cases; hence
those who administer the funds
have to be persons who can be
fully trusted.
The needy cases" may not be
charity cases in the usual sense.
The point is that a church can
be a fellowship so close that a
person in physical or financial need
would think of it as a source of
help just as quickly as he would
think Of his own family. It is his
family.
