Sincerity" was the theme on
which Rev. Jerome Del Pine spoke
on Sunday morning. From time
immemorial, religious leaders
have pleaded with the masses to
be true, honest and unselfish; to-
day the need is as great as ever.
There is no room in the Christian
life for selfishness or beggars and
God demands that we eliminate
these unworthy traits, to be doers
of the word and not hearers only,
since nothing beneficial results
that we have enough of this great
love to share with our fellowman
and when we do this, we are on
the road to becoming not only
human being, but a God-being'
With this in mind, let US put
Christ back into Christmas,
celebrate the Yuletide season
with true sincerity from one sea-
son to the next. Christianity Is
universal with no bounds what
ever so we must learn to give OF
ourselves not to the individu@,
but in the interest of the masses.

Declares New Method
Defeated Tydings

This method tries people by
accusation and slander instead
of by evidence and proof.
It destroys regulations by re-
peated utterances of gigantic
falsehoods. It spares neither the
lowly Government clerk nor men
of the towering stature Of Gen.
George C. Marshall.
This new method Of American
politics has already been used
with a terrifying degree of sue
cess. It defeated a distinguished
Senator, Tydings of Maryland.
in 1850, and helped to defeat
several others.
Now, for the first time. 1t is
being used in a presidential
election. The Republican candi-
date for vice president has
made it his stock in trade in
this campaign. Senator Nc
Carthy himself was a featured
speaker at the Republican con-
vention-and was provided a
national radio and television
hook-up in this campaign, to
see if he could do to Gov. Stew
enson what was done to Senator
Tydings.
I would have expected the
Republican candidate for PreSi-
dent to be against this kind of
thing. I would have expected
him to defend the name of his
old friend and benefactor,
George Marshall, against those
detractors. But he did not do it.
Instead, he just uttered a few
generalities about the American
