Before the Christian church
could do a good job in eyange-
ism, it had to have a solid
foundation and an expressed
creed in simple language.
The church wrestled with the
angel of decision from the
death of Christ until around
1873 A. D. After this early strug-
gle a capitalization of thought
and experience was expressed
by the mentioned creed and &C
opted by the Christian church.
It was a theological expression.
It came out of bloodshed and
much pain. Today we call this
crystallized expression Of the
church, the Apostles Greed or
Affirmation of Faith.
Theology has been called the
science Of God, the study Of
God, or the doctrine of God,
but subsequently it was de-
fined as the science of the I'M
folded, objective self-manifes-
tation of the Divine Spirit in
the phenomenal kingdom of
God. This word can have d
prolonged definition, but one
thing is certain, says one writer,
this definition should include
theology is "the goal of all
truth" Here is where theology
becomes an adventure for the
Christian church. This means
that truth finds its seat in
the kingdom Of God.
The church seeks to put all
all people in the atmosphere of
recognizing the self-manifes-
tation Of God. When the mani
festation is recognized truth,
discovered in science, literature
and human experience, will be
in the position where practical
benefits will move according to
the challenge of the unfolded
revelation Of Gods kingdom.
There are various channels
through which truth is guided
to its goal, The various Chris
tan denominations are given
channels used by men through
the years of Christendom. All
intend to move in the direction
Of the kingdom Of God. How
ever, the standard Christian
denomination must not make
its particular organization an
absolute or the once and for
all. The denominations are on
ly instruments in the hands
Of God. If at anytime the de-
nominational emphasis trans
cends the true absolute which
is God in Christ, then it be
comes a sounding brass and a
tinkling symbol. The kingdom
of God manifested through
Chrust is the goal of all
churches. The goal of all truth
must find its final place in
the theological emphasis in
order to be effective, because
the finality of the human quest
is the kingdom Of God,
The denominations. Of the
Christian church must not be
begged down by over organi-
cation. The salvation Of mankind
cannot wait until the red tape
unwinds. The Christian church
is fundamentally a theological
institution. It's accumulative
techniques Of Christian educa-
ton must pivot around the
theological emphasis. 1t is the
objective aspect of the Church,
If the church loses this, all its
back ground, traditions, and
motivations are lost. The church
must know where it is going.
The church is not a social in
stitution or a playground for
opportunists, 1t is a spiritual
power house permeating all
things. Theology is not to be
considered hackney and bore
some, but 1t is the study anc
emphasis of the Divine mean

Tunnel Plan
For Potomac
Virtually Dead

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia today an
nounced after a conference with
a New York consulting engineer
that there would be no economic,
physical or traffic advantages to
a tunnel under the Potomac
River, as an alternative to a
bridge at E street NV.
This was interpreted as virtual
abandonment by Mr.. Broyhill of
his proposal for a tunnel in
stead of a bridge.
The consulting engineer, Ralph
Smile, explained after the con-
ference with Mr.. Broyhill and
District officials that the tunnel
would have no inherent advan-
tages and would be much more
costly than a bridge.
Mr.. Smillie agreed generally
with the estimates made by Dis
trict Government engineers that
the tunnel would cost SOL mil
lion, as compared to $3l million
for a bridge.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
W. Prentiss said District engi-
neers would make new estimates
as to a somewhat different
method IF constructing a tunnel.
These would be used in case Dis
trict officials are asked about the
tunnel during coming Congress
sional hearings.

The President said that in war

sion. One Of the difficulties of
his job is.that he can not pur-
sue these friendships as he

A television reporter asked Gen.
Eisenhower if he would not like

people in this statement. The
President replied some of his

Breakdown on Risk Firiinos
Under Study, President Says

President Eisenhower's adj
visers are making a careful study
to see whether a breakdown can
be given on the 1900 Govern
ment employees fired for security
reasons.
Gen. Eisenhower told his news
conference today that he would
let reporters know as soon as
possible whether his aides recon-
mend a release of the break
down. He mentioned the 1900
figure at press conference jan
uary 7. but he and other officials
have declined to say how many
of these were fired for possible
disloyalty and how many for
other reasons such as drinking,
talking too much, homosexuality
and so forth.
The President said today that
he had been surprised to learn
Of the widespread interest in the
matter among reporters. He
said he ordered the staff study
as soon as he learned of this
interest.
He repeated earlier statements
that while he wants all security

going to be charged to any in

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.-The

said today it is investigating the
alleged theft from the Library
of Congress of an original letter
written by Benjamin Franklin.
It was among a sheaf of valuable
documents recently reported
stolen from the library.
Ray j. Abbaticchio, jr., special
agent in charge of the FBI's
Philadelphia Office. said today
"the matter is under investiga-
ton with a view toward locat-
ing the person responsible"
A short time after the alleged
theft, an attorney who is a
student of Franklin's life pur-
chased the letter. valued at
about 500, from a Philadelphia
dealer. He took it to the Library
of Congress, where experts GER
titled it as the genuine article,
but failed to recognize it as one

the Presidents views on this
point.
Gen. Eisenhower. chuckling,
said this is a free country and
that everybody has a right to
speak his mind. AS for himself,
the President added. he believes.
as he said in his recent economic
report. that the country is going
through a readjustment, just
as it has before.
It was at this point that Gen.
Eisenhower volunteered his COM
ment about the relative eco
nomic Importance of the masses
and the few.
Later in the. conference a re-
porter recalled the Presidents
recent remark to the effect that
his administration is liberal as
to people and conservative as to
economics. In view of this eX-
preston. the queStioner wanted
to know why a boost in the min
imum wage-now standing at IS
cents hourly-waS not included
in the corrective measures that
the President advocated in his
recent economic report.
The President responded that
the economic report made it
clear that there is some ques-
ton as to the ACCESSIBILITY of a
move of this sort just now.
Pointing out that the country
is in a period of transition from
war to a peace economy. the
President said what should be
done about the minimum wage
was question of timing.
1t is certain. he added firmly,
everybody VINO worked on the
economic report believes that
only through the proper distri-
button of profits can the pros
perity of America be brought

factors are not at the high levels

have receded from something.

the middle of 1853 was of tram
sient nature. He expressed

The obvious answer is that as
