The American Way

This same militant program
carried on by all our people, can
insure the necessary tWo-thirds
majority in both houses of Con-
gress to initiate this proposed
amendment and send it to the
States for ratification.
In this way government would
be restored to the business of
governing. 1t would end the
extravagant socialistic expert
ments which have reached such
fantastic proportions during the
last two decades.
The growth of socialism is de-
monstrated by the fact that the
taxes which were much too high
in 1892 have been multiplied %
: times in 20 years. The manipula-
tors of government have borrow
led, in our name, more than $1l
billion per year average during
the same 20 years, building {
fantastic national debt which we

1t is unbelievable that we have
become so highly socialized ir

however, re-establish basic Amer,

practices of socialism with this

PentecOSt

Pentscost Sunday is June 6
this year. Pentscost observance
is indeed important as a memor-
ial of that great day in the his
tory of the church when the dis
ciples we're baptized with the
Holy Ghost and fire, -Pentecost
was the last great day in the
establishing Of the work of God
among men. The incarnation Of
Jesus Christ, His suffering and
death, his entombment, His re-
surrection all have their signifi-
cence in the church, but the
crowning day is the day of Pen
tecost. This is the day when the
disciples were not only baptized
with the Holy Ghost and fire,
but the day when their hearts
were purified by faith, and they
received power to witness to the
words ard work of Jesus Christ.
This day is day that should
be observed by all Christians,
and each one should be engaged
to live more closely and in full
harmon with the blessed Savior,
by the presence of the Holy
Ghost in their lives. Every juSti-
fled believer should seek very
earnestly to receive the Holy
keeper, to the praise of the
External God. AS the disciples
spent ten days in the upper room
in prayer, conservation and de-
votion, SO ought each of us these
days do likewise. To help guide
us in this ten day period of pray
er and waiting we would like
to suggest that each one of us set
apart a time each day for prayer
and reading the word of God
with a definite time of thought
and meditation upon the sancti-
fication of their own soul. May
we also suggest Scripture read
ings for these ten days beginning
with Friday, May %, 1854, as
follows;
Friday, May %, Acts lila;
Saturday, May %, Matt. 3:1-14;
Sunday, May 80, John 1928; IA
