encourage the depressed souls Of the mil
lions to break from the Communistic bon
dage and walk again as free men. In other
words, the world problem is that Of lifting
the Iron Curtain that all men may see
and be seen in the proper perspective.
It is battle Of ideas more than bombs
Bombs will destroy the world in the next
war, which none certainly none of the
big powers, wishes to begin.
The Geneva Conference offers little
hope Russia demands recognition of Red
China, we are unaterably opposed Should
we give in, Russia would want some other
concession of more importance. Dealing
with communists is we'll nigh impossible
We wonder if Chang Kai-Shek might
not hold the key to the Chinese situation.
We have not encouraged any of our allies
to aggression system which the commu-
nists have used with considerable success.
Red China officially was never AN active
beligerent in the Korean War only 'Volun-
teers" aided the North Koreans. Possibly,
Nationalist China might find some "volun-
teers" to aid in their return to the home
land. At least this is one possibility, when
the time is right and all non-bel ligerent
means have failed. 1t would certainly be
fighting fire with fire, and that is what we
must do sooner or later

one day tremendous uproar in
the streets. of Paris. and an elder

Who Mode Israel to Sin. "

More than one writer in later
times used the same standard
formula for this Jeroboam. He is
called Jeroboam the son Of Ne
bat, who made Israel to sin. That
is terrible tag to hang on a man.
that he is the cause Of a nations
sin But it was true of this man.
What in particular had Jeroboam
done, as King Of Israel. to make
Israel to sin? His great sins were
two, but they were part Of the
same policy Il viii be remem-
hered that this was shortly after
the time Of Solomon. and the great
temple which Solomon built was
still the center Of the religious life
Of all the twelve tribes When Jero-
beam engineered his revolution, he
felt il to be a dangerous thing for
the temple to be in the hands Of
the Kingdom Of Judah up there
IN Jerusalem. SO he organized two
other religious centers, at con
venient locations, Bethel in the
south, Dan in the north; and in
these newly appointed shrine
cities" he set up gold-plated calves
and other animals as the gods OF
his people In two ways among
others. this was ruinous to right
religion, and led 10 the decay OF
the nation.
