Law AS A Condition

Then the Christian is free from
the law as a condition OF Gods
favor. When shall / be good
enough for God to love me?" is a
question no one ought to ask. The
Christian is one who has discov-
cred that Gods love does not wait
for our obedience A mother does
not wait till her baby is old enough
to understand her and obey her
before she will love him. And
even when he is old enough to
understand, il he disobeys she
may disapprove and punish him.
but she will not stop loving him. II
God had waited to love US till we
were good enough to love, he would
be waiting yet. 1t is Gods gracious
love that produces what goodness
we have. not the other way around.
Doing what God wants done is alb
solutely right and we should try
our best every day to do just that.
But it is absurd to think that
Gods love is like thermometer
that goes up and down with the
temperature Of our obedience We
can't earn our way into Gods IA
vor. AS we were noticing last
week, the smile OF God is not for
sale.

Sales Beat 1852

THE Federal Reserve Board reported re-
Gently that retail sales continued ia Gain
momentum in May and that, in the latter
half of that month, reached level seven
per cent above the level prevailing year
ago.
The Board said industrial production
had remained practically constant in
March, April and May, at level of activity
which was fifteen per cent above that of
May, 1852. Department store sales which
slackened in April, rose considerably in the

Segregation Decision Delay

THE United States Supreme Court has
postponed its decision on racial sepre-
cation in public schools until the next term
OF the curt Additional information has
peen requested and a reargument of the
case is set for next October While We do net
wish to hurry unduly the decision of the
Court, the uncertainty hampers future
planning for school buildings and public
instruction IN many places, especially in
the South In Virginia, the building Of
schools, especially for the Negroes, is pro
ceedng without hesitation This progress
is wise, unless the Supreme Court rules
against segregation, in which case a con
siderable reshuffling would be necessary.
The new buildings can be used in any case,
but an unsegregated school system NAV re-

Indignation for the sake of efficient opera
ton. This imponderable no doubt is causing
some hesitancy in school construction in the
Deep South. AT any rate, a decision for UNI
segregated schools will require some tirle
to be made effective, and considerable study
by school boards and executives to assure
efficient operation for so drastic {; change
in policy.
Some speculation has been expressed of
what is taking place in the deliberation of
the Supreme Court. The call for additional
argument on two questions, namely. the in

GODS GIFTS

They have returned, our summer birds,
Away so long, they're back again,
To stir our hearts with melodies
OF flowers blooming in the rain. -
At times. in winter, Joy and hope
Seem buried deep beneath the snow;
Life seems drear Heaven far away,
And Faiths small candle flckers low.
In spring God sends to us His gifts
To cheer our hearts and Danish PAIN
He sends his rainbow after storms;
And lovely birds to sing again.

We know that plans for EDO

Altogether, the Board report showed no

the record so far shows that industrial pro-

Law As ACurSe

Law AS A Curse
Paul speaks more than once Of
the curse" of the law, as for ex-
ample in Gal. 3:l3-Christ re
deemed us from the curse OF the
law, having become a curse for
us Now it may seem odd and
even perverse to think of law as
a curse, especially good law.
And particularly the law Of God;
how can that possibly be a curse?
To understand this we have to
think our way back into Old
Testament times. There were GER
tainly some people. like the un-
known poet who wrote the 18th
Psalm, who loved the Law and
found JOY in studying and keep
ing it. But for every such man
there must have been numberless
others who found the law just what
Paul at one time in his life had
found: sort OF standing threat on
Gods part. do this or else;
don't do that or else" Don't we
know people in our times who think
OF God as keeping sort OF record
book full Of black marks. = who
think Of God as keeping up with US
just in order to take down every
thing bad we say or do or think?
A person who is not very consclen-
tlous may think gaily, I'm get
by but conscientious person
who realizes what high standard
the law calls for. may live in ter
ror lest God demand vengeance for
every broken law. great or small.
Now the Christian can breathe
freely; he is free from such terrors
because whatever curse there may
be in the law, Christ has taken
upon himself

Law AsAC Cage

Again. law for some people is a
kind Of cage Inside its narrow pat
tern they carefully live. They do
what they must, what the law COM
pels; but beyond that they will not
60. They are only as good as they
have to be- Now the Christian is
free from the law as cage, just
IS he is free from it as curse and
as condition. The Christian loves
by faith, hope and love; and these
take him clear beyond the limits of
law.
A husband who does for his wife
and family only what the law re-
quires will be a poor husband. A
citizen who will do no more for his
country and community than just
not TO break any laws. is not the
best type Of citizen A soldier who
will not 90 beyond the line of duty

Florian ZaBach has become
television's young man with
the fiddle.
The handsome, blond violin
virtuoso recalls that TV didn't
want f1ddlers even as a gift
two years ago when he broke
into video by winning on one
of Arthur Godfrey's Talent
Scouts" shows and appearing
on six succeeding Godfrey
and His Friends" telecasts.
Up to that time. ZaBach says
that when he tried to get a
booking in TV and related that
he played the fiddle, he'd meet
such remarks as We've al
ready got three violinists in
the orchestra"
Since then. ZaBath appeared
for a full 39-week season on
the daytime Steve Allen show,
now off the air, and has just
completed a full season with
the Embassy Club" which
ended it's season June %. He
had had a series of highly
successful theater, hotel and
club engagements. His phono-
graph record of THE Hot
Canary" for Decca has sold
more than a million copies
and a new one. The Red
Canary" hit 100000 in seven
weeks. He has appeared in
numerous TV shows as guest
star.
ZaBach also makes frequent
concert appearances, among
his latest being with the
Rochester Symphony Orches-
ira.
Mode Debut at II
If it seems odd that a star
in popular music should play
with a symphony and that his
rendition of popular tunes has
unusual fineSse, the eXplana-
ton is that he began in the
concert field.
ZaBach made his concert
debut as a child prodigy vio-
1inist at the age of II in Chi
cago and subsequently toured
Europe as guest artist with a
number of leading symphony
orchestras.
Later he was soloiSt with the
