population of 11,750, her poten-
tial new young voters today
number 492, after full allowance
for population increase and age
change since the 1850 census.
Studies of birth statistics since
1880 show that today's potential
new voters in the 1921 age
groups are evenly divided be-
tween the sexes, exactly half
men and half women.
Five Bills Pending
Five bills are pending before
the Judiciary Committee of the
House Of Representatives pro-
posing constitutional amend
ment fixing the voting age at
18 years. If approved by two
thirds vote in both the House
and Senate, the amendment then
would need to be ratified by
three -fourths of so States, if
Hawaii and Alaska are admitted
as new States this year. That
means 80 States would have to
ratify the amendment.
Should Congress submit the
amendment this year, which is
still uncertain, the new voting
age hardly could become effec-
tive before the 1856 presidential
elections. Usually about two
years are required for deposit
of the State ratifications in
Washington.
Meanwhile, each State legis-
lature is free to fix voting age
at l8 if it wishes, as the federal
constitution does not now fix
the voting age at q years. The
constitution merely accepts the
voting qualifications fixed by the
states. Georgia already permits
voting by 18-year olds.
Georgia approved 18-year vot-
ers in 1943. At that time there
was considerable talk of like
action in several other States,
but no other legislature followed
through.
Leonard w. Hall, Chairman of
the Republican National Com
mittee, revived the proposal on
May 25, 1858, announcing that
both President Eisenhower and
Vice-president Nixon had en-
dorsed the idea with enthusiasm.
The President then incorporated
the accommodation in his mes
sage to Congress on the State
of the Union, January 7, 1854.
Public FavOrs Move
Recent public opinion polls
show SO percent in favor of the
lower age limit, with only 81
percent opposed. The first
public opinion poll on the ques-
ton, in 1889, showed only II
percent in favor of the lower age
limit and 79 percent opposed.
''If a man is old enough to
fight, he is old enough to vote"
said President Eisenhower in dis
cussing his proposal. He also
urged the States to enact uniform
laws permitting absentee ballot

Blessed are they which do
hunger and thirst after right
eousness: for they shall be
filled. Matthew Sc.
Hunger and thirst express a
need and strong desire to have
that need satisfied.
1t is happy moment when a
man or woman, a boy or girl,
has a strong desire to be right
before God, to be acceptable to
Him.
1t is a mappy moment when a
person strongly desires to live
right to be honest, pure and
upright in thought, word and
deed. Not only when it serves
his own ends, not only when it is
convenient, but also when it may
seem to hurt him a little or it
may give rival an advantage.
To hunger and thirst after
righteousness is to come to the
place where we want Gods will
to be done in our lives.
In the physical realm we eX-
perience hunger and thirst. We
try to satisfy those cravings by
drinking certain beverages or
eating certain things. Some OF
the beverages or things we eat
as food seem to satisfy the crav-
ing at least for period of
time. But within comparatively
short time we find ourselves still
craving something to drink or
eat. Or it may be that we learn
that, although that which we ate
| or drank seemed to satisfy our
| craving, it was not good for us.
1t has done more harm than
good. But when one partakes of
the proper drink and food, he is
not only satisfied momentarily,
he is satisfied for a normal
period of time. In sense we can
say that he is completely salts
fled.
So in the spiritual realm, men
and women have q hunger and
thirst, but they try to satisfy
longing with experiences that
are momentary or are harmful
and ruinous. When one is will
ling to satisfy his spiritual thirst
and hunger according to Gods
way, there is the assurance that
! he shall be filled completely

While we usually think of it in
terms of its more obvious physi-
cal assets our thousands of
factories, some containing more
than square mile of area under
their sprawling roofs; plus the
acres of complex machine tools
at work in them; plus the myriad
of appurtenances like railroads
and power lines that link our
vast industrial plants with the
mines, the mills, the forests, the
land and other raw material
sources on the one hand and with
all the warehouses, stores and
marketing equipment on the
other even all these things
together do not encompass all
that is our economic machine.
Its key parts are people -
l60,000,000 of them. And the
secret of this productive machine
of ours is the way we make it
work for us, as opposed to our
working for it. No small aspect
of the miracle that results is the
peculiar kind of faith or confid-
ence that we place in it.
Besides faith in our economic
system, which SO far has with
stood enormous buffetingS of
criticism and doubt from within

essential to explain why it works

not speak; it is dead and spirit

resentative of the spirit, you
must understand. You never un-

Bible Questions
And Answers
ALBERT F. RANDOLPH

Question: How do Christians
justify themselves in not sup
porting the church?
Answer: We take this as point
ing to supporting the church by
the way of money gifts and Of
ferings. Many professed Christ
ians do not tithe and therefore
say that they cannot afford to
pay into the church. They will
say that their income is not suf-
ficient to meet their own needs
and to pay to the church at the
same time. The real Christian
does support eth church. He re-
cognizes first his duty to tithe
and to do that before he begins
to meet his own expenses, and
that is the right way to do.
The word of God expressly
states that it our duty to tithe
and to give offerings in addition.
There is no way person can
justify themselves, or clear them
selves from this obligation or
duty of Christian living.
Question: Do you think that a
born again Christian woman
would have her hair bobbed, and
curled and have a permanent?
Answer: Surely l do not think
that born-again Christian
woman would have such. This
becomes a mark of pride, even
though many others excuses
may be offered. In Cor. 11:5 we
read, Every woman that prayeth
or prophesieth with her head
uncovered dishonoreth her head
for that is even all one as if she
were shaven." In verse Is of the
same chapter we read, 'But if a
woman have long hair, it a glory
to her: for her hair is given her
for covering" 1t is a sad thing
that people do not want to walk
in the light of the world of God.
Too many excuses are brought
forward. Some say that we are
living in a different age and we
have to do differently. But the
word of God is cur guide and a
safe one too. Read it carefully
and obey it and you will have
joy in your soul. Obedience is
better than sacrifice. In the end
we will want the blessing Of
God and the approval of God.
1t is far better to do His will
and keep the smile of God upon
you than to break His word and
then have to come to Him in
repentance. Best keep humble
and look out the word of God
and obey it, and keep the peace
of God in your heart.

satisfied.
Isaiah the prophet (55:1, p was
led to give this invitation: 'Ho,
everyone that thirsteth, come ye
to the waters, and he that hath
no money co emye, buy and eat;
yea, come, buy wine and milk
without money and without
price. Wherefore do ye spend
money for that which is not
bread? and your labour for that
which satisfieth not? hearken
diligently unto me, eat ye that
which is good, and let your soul
delight itself in fatness.'
Jesus said, 81 am the bread
of life: he that cometh to Me
shall never hunger; and he that
believeth commits his life) on
Me shall never thirst"
We see, therefore, from the
Word of God that it is foolish
ness a maSte of time, effort
and money trying to obtain
those things which can never
satisfy. We also learn that what
God has to offer completely
satisfies John 6:35) and that He
puts no charge on it. 1t is a gift.

1t appears that as usual there
are two kinds of army-navy-
marine justice, one for the
brass" and one for "GI joe!
Without question of doubt,
Colonel Schwable's accused"
crime was infinitely more detri-
mental to our efforts in making
the world believe that ''honest
justice" prevails in our demo-
cratic way of life, particularly
in melting righteousness to an
accused man.
Yet, Mr.. Gentleman Colonel
Schwable did not even have to
stand a courtmartial-only a
preliminary inquiry in deter
mining the truth concerning his
unprecedented police action" act
which was so cleverly handled
by the time the press was privi-
legged to give the findings to the
people of the world.
1t is enough to make any red
blooded American "blow his top"
as the famous expression goes.
Obviously a lot of people are of
the same thought of mind from
the general expressions that have
been made. Yet strangely enough
only few probably will put it
in writing and send their pro-
tests where they will do the most
good.

whether you are a lonely army

expressing and portraying public
opinion, should take up the
cudgel in this case.

He was given the middle name
of Dwight because his parents were

For the first time, non-drilling
penalties are bringing in sizeable
