cHAPLAIN'S CORPS OBSERVES BIRTHDAY

e One of the oldest and most honored corps in the United States Army-the Chaplains Branch-will celebrate it's 176th anniversary on July 20, 1853. Appropriate ceremonies are be- ing planned throughout the Service.
 Established in 1775, almost a year before the Declaration of Independence was signed, Army Chaplains have served the spir- itual needs of our country's sol diers in war as we'll as peace. They rendered their services and often gave their lives during the Revolution, the Indian Wars, and the War Between the States. They were at San Juan Hill in 1898. at the Argonne in 1918, and at Two Jima in 1945. Today, in Korea, they continue to full fill their vital role.
 Millions of servicemen and their families, most of whom have benefited in some way from the unselfish and untirinS efforts of Chaplains, U n t e d States Army, join in extending sincerest birthday greetings to them and to their branch.
Seward seaport record., 1953-07-24
Editoriol

IN MIDSUMMER every year the people of Seward who have lived here for more than year begin warning newcomers of the dangers inherent in the waters round about this area.
 The tragic death of young serviceman Thursday in First Lake once again points up the danger of swimming in the cold waters of the lake and bay. Chil- dren who have grown up here become accustomed to the cold but strangers are susceptible to cramp.
 Everything possible has been done to safeguard the swimming hole at First Lake except to fur nish a permanent life guard. The populace rely on adults who may accompany their own children to the lake, for safety of others. This is an imposition in a way, but one that is accepted by the faithful men and women who give what time they can to the children at the lake.
 Hardly a year passes without one or more drownings in Resur- rection Bay. Beautiful and in viting as it looks, the bay has proved a death trap to the un- believing newcomer. Last year two service men were lost, and the year before three men drowned off Gaines Head. The bay is subject to sudden wind squalls that make small boating dangerous.
 Townspeople who fish from small boats usually stay close to
Seward seaport record., 1953-07-24

shore unless they are experi- enced on the bay. Strangers, viSi- tors and people who have re- gently moved to Seward discount the advice of old timers and scoff at the danger of the wind on the bay and the extreme cold water below the surface. They are the ones who venture too far and too often and lose their lives.
 It seems that only the sad ex- perience of others can bring about realization of danger lying beneath the beauty of Resurrection Bay and the small lakes near Seward It is hoped that this weeks lesson will end tragedy of the same sort for this year, at least.

Government under God. Rom.
ans l3:1.lo; Acts 5:25.2e
BY RALPH ROGERS

The lesson from Romans today
was written by Paul. He stresses
the necessity of submitting to the
higher powers, meaning earthly
powers. The portion of the lesson
from Acts. gives the conclusion
reached by Peter when he declar-
ed, 1--WE must obey God rather
than men," The two writer's seem
to be expressing their views right
in a transition period the one
clinging 10 the old idea of the alb
solute power of the king, the other
proclaiming the new - that of gov
eminent under God rather than
under men.
Both Peter and Paul had the
same detectives. They both had the
greatest respect for good law and
good rulers. Paul, who had been a
Pharisee, knew the law anc loved
it. He however, with Peter valued
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and
love among men as the motivating
force in the governing of any SOC
ial or political group. Both refused
to bow before kings, but at the
same time they respected and sup
ported any good ruler.
Under the old dispensation, rul-
ers and kings were ordained Of
God. They are A" a minister of God
to thee for good" Under our mod
ern democratic system we could
hardly go along with that idea.
Even the Israelites found that
some of the anointed rulers proved
a disappointment to both man and
God. The idea that a king can do
no wrong is at least obsoleScent
if not obsolete. Under our demo-
cratic system Of government $780, we
don't blame our elected officials,
we blame ourselves since we elect
them.
Theories of government vary.
With US the authority of govern
ment derives from the people. We
are the authority. We grant and
delegate power and as we give
power, We can also take it away.
We are responsible. The Russian
theory contends that the powers
of government derives from the
Party. The Party grants and res
cinds powers. That is why opposi-
ton to the Party, not TO the ma
ton, is treason. AS a result of this
theory Russia can purge and hqui-
date officials. Loyalty is not to the
nation in Russia, but to the Party.
To purge and protect the Party
is just and noble. We should re-
member when we read Paul's let
tiers that governments differ. We
should thank God that our system
lis different.
Paul believed that al govern
mental authority derived directly
from God. This made government
to nIm a theocFacy 10 that God him.

mary of Christian citizenship is ap.
plicable today.
Peter and the apostles had been
preaching Christ on the street and
wherever they could assemble a
group. The Sanhedrin surely felt
guilty for they said that I'VE have
filled jerusalem with your teach
ing, and intend to bring this mans
blood upon US" (Acts 5:2Sl Peter
was a pioneer in declaring his in
dependence when he said that he
must obey God rather than men.
Later Luther, Cromwell, Washing.
ton and others chose TO serve God
rather than eringe before kings In
error. Our great democracy with
its freedoms and opportunities is
the result of such brave souls who
followed God rather than men.
There is a general apathy and In
difference to good government as
observed by General Omar N.
Bradley. He has asked different
groups how many are members OF
the school board, how many invite
their teachers home TO dinner to
check up on their qualifications and
be was surprised to learn that few
of them even knew the name OF
the teacher of their sons and
daughters. The General summed
up his observations with this state.
ment: Good citizenship under dem.
oeratic government springs from
active participation in them. II Is
immoral for Us TO claim freedom
of the ballot unless we are ready
to share the freedom with every
other American. II Is ungodly for
us to claim freedom Of religion IN.
