More Silence and More Faith
By Bruce Borton

There was once famous preacher in
London who was noted for his habit of
selecting very obscure bit of Scripture
as his text-generally q verse that no
one IN the audience had ever heard.
One morning he began: MY text is
from the sixth chapter of Isaiah, the
first verse: In the year that King
Uzziah died, saw also the Lord sitting
upon throne, high and lifted up >"
A young divinity student standing in
the back of the crowded church won
dered: What in the world can he
make out of that?" The student didn't
have to wait long to find out.
In a resounding voice the preacher
continued: II direct your special atten-
ton to the word sitting. A great
calamity had befallen the world
pressing emergency had to be dealt
with King Uzziah was dead
you might imagine that there would
be CONSERVATION in heaven. The
Lord would be calling conferences, send
ing for advisers. rushing from one meet
ing to another. exclaiming: 'Uzziah is
dead. Whom shall we put in Uz-
ziah's place? .. What move shall we
make now?'
mot at ALL" the preacher continued.
I'm the year that King Uzziah died
saw the Lord sitting ;" And he
proceeded to preach an unforgettable
sermon on the Patience of God.
My correspondence indicates that q
considerable number of clergymen are
among my readers. and I should like.
with my compliments, to pass this text
on to them. It seems to me that moth
ing could be more useful in the present
state Of affairs than lot of sermons
on the Patience Of God.
We seem somewhere along tire line
to have lost our ancient American. faith
that the Almighty Is on our side; that

Our leaders" seem to have no time
to read. no faith in themselves or our
cause. They are just too busy denounc-

making more and more commitments.
Nowhere in Washington, apparently.
is there any single quiet room where
anybody in authority sits and thinks.
Never does it occur to anybody to sug-
gest: Let us stop rushing about for q
few days. Let US be patient and con-
sider."

overcrowded for years by people who

The wave of righteous indignation
evoked by your excellent feature article
on the bitter neglect of the child-care
program here in the District was long
past due. It was interesting to note the
reactions of helplessness of certain
prominent churchmen towards this dis
tasteful disclosure in their bailiwick of
spiritual endeavors. If they had only
taken the trouble to visit the various
agencies and institutions responsible for
child welfare and were unfearful to ex-
pose the conditions which have vexed
social workers and other sympathetic
staff people, this contemptuous situa.
ton Of inadequate child care, and other
problems. would have been dealt with
in constructive manner years ago.

NeqIect Of ChiId-Cure Problem

Every person who has a conscience
wants to know what he can do to help
provide decent and efficient care for the
prevention and rehabilitation of human
wreckage, especially institutional care
for homeless and delinquent children.
The present appropriations procedure
for washington is inefficient, undemo-
cratic, unbusineSslike, Intellectual and
waSteful, but we have no choice at the
moment but to rock along with it, and
then pray.
The only effective action we can take
under the present setup is to demand
appropriations hearings be held by the
Commissioners. House and Senate. Call
on them or write. in such numbers that
the hearings would have to be held in
the Armory or in a park. The fact that
so few testify has led Congress to think
we are indifferent to lot of things.
The average citizen should not be
hesitant because he doesn't know much
about the procedure. Abraham Lincoln
didn't have a lot Of college degrees, but
his simple eloquence is immortal. Pope
Plus said that any one who sees wrong
being committed and doesn't try to stop
it becomes an accessory!
Don't go to hearings in the role of
"your humble servant" stating you are
ecstatically delighted and profoundly
grateful for the privilege" Of testifying.
It's your money and your right and duty
to God and country to see that decent
living is provided for all.
Remember. the inevitable excuse Is
there is not enough money. so the alb
surdity and inconsistency of this must
be repeatedly pointed out by calling
attention to billions being sent all over
the world for welfare, even being thrust
on people who don't want it!
It is wonderfully heart-warming to
see the response to your articles in be-
half of our horribly neglected children.
am especially glad you point out
that the only way to accomplish any
thing worth while is to arouse Congress
to sense of duty to provide the money
necessary to properly care for these
children.
It is absurd that our Commissioners
or the welfare people should be ex-
pected to perform miracles with the
inadequate sum so grudgingly given the
District by Congress. With our popula-
ton growing, there seems no consist

The Women's Division Of the
Republican National Committee
yesterday unveiled a new campaign
technique which it billed as some
thing brand-new in politics"
Called Visual Aid Presenta-
tions." the new political weapon
consists Of q series of 35-milli-
meter Aim cartoons, in color, and
with accompanying voice commen-
tary. The films vary in length
from II to IS minutes.
The women's division hopes to
show the Aim to thousands Of non
partisan women's groups across
the country before the election.
Mrs. Ivy r. Priest, assistant to
the @. o. P. chairman and head
Of the women's division, explained
that the films have proved a very
successful means "of getting the
Republican message to Mrs.
Housewife. Mrs. America. who
won't come out to . political meet
ing any more. but will watch these
Aims at her women's club"
'Clubs which have steadfastly
refused to let US send q political
speaker to their meetings will ac-
eept these films" she said.
Bring Out the Facts
"The slides are factual and
documented and very thorough.
They are not political in the sense
that they praise Republicans for
being Republicans and criticize
Democrats for being Democrats.
They simply bring out the facts.
They don't ask people to vote for
q particular party or candidate.
Therefore they let us get our mes
sage to many non-partisan groups,
like women's clubs and Rotary
groups.
One Of the films, entitled, "Who
Me, or. What Taxes are Doing to
the Average American Family
was shown yesterday at q press
conference luncheon announcing
launching Of the project.
Other films bear such titles as
"Korea. The Price of Appease-
ment"; Americas Creeping So
cialiSm"; "One-Way Ticket to
Freedom" "Brannan Plan: I'm
hation." and "Bellringers."
Norris j. Nelson. director of the
