Fairbanks Bishop Among 10 Top
 Young Americans

TULSA, Okla, R - A young Fairbanks, Alaska, Episcopal bish- op and a Seattle geologist and explorer who has pioneered in scientific work on the Juneau ice field were named Saturday among the 10 top young. American men of 1853 by the'U.S. Junior Cham Der of Commerce.
 The 10 are all between the ages of 21 and 36 and such selections are made annually by the Jaycees group. They will be honored at a banquet Jan. g at Seattle.
 They included:
 Bishop William Jones Gordon IT,, 35, Fairbanks; for constant ly risking his life to bring religion to Alaska.
 Maynard Malcolm Miller, 32, Seattle; geologist, explorer, writer and lecturer; for outstanding lead ership in the field of geological science, including the organiza- ton and direction of the Juneau icefield research project.
 Bishop Gordon, nicknamed the Flying Bishop" has diocese of an area of 586,0OO square miles. At the age of 29 he was the youngest man ever to be elected a bishop in the Episcopal Church.
 Miller organized and directed the first Juneau Icefield Project which covered the unexplored 1000 square mile plateau near Juneau. His work there has been continued by governmental agen- cies and private organizations and the Air Force has repeatedly in- vited him as a consultant on mat ters involving the Arctic.

BUT NO RECESS

By January 15 an 18-rnan salary commission set up by Congress before it knocked off last August 1, will report to President Eisenhower and to Congress- It will say, think that solons ought to get raise of $1O,OO0 year. It may also recommend the same for Federal judges.
 The first witnesses to be heard by the commission in opening three days of public hearings were Pres dent George Meany of the American Federation of Labor, and Morris B. Mitchell, of Minneapolis repre- sentng the American Bar Association. Both thought the raise would be good idea-for the Congressmen and the judges too.
 Representatives and Senators are now paid $12, 800 in salary, plus taxable expense allowance of $2,5OO plus further allowance for staff salaries elegrams and longdstance calls, office space at home free postage for official mail and 20 cents mile for roundrp to Washington per year.
 We think Congressmen should get $25,OO0 year, for certainly should be in Congress unless he's worth that much elsewhere. But think while this commendabe salary adjustment is being made, there should be some changes in the rules too. We think it should be paid for years work not six or seven months. And for the perquisites they would then have no need for that office at home.
 We have Big Time country now. There's some thing doing every day. And Congress ought to be tend ing to it.

Vets Built More And Better Homes In '53, VA Home Loans Indicate

WASHINGTON, H- The Veter- ans Administration said Satur- day it guaranteed nearly five per cent more CT home loans during 1853 than in 1852 and that the houses cost more.
 The average price, the agency said, was $11,275, compared to $1O,915 in 1852, in part because of demand for larger houses with more equipment.
 The VA said in a year-end re- view of it's 1853 loan guaranty operations that it guaranteed more than 32O,O0O home loans totalling over three billion dollars. The 1852 totals were 306,O0O home loans exceeding $2,70O, 100000
 About two-thirds of the 320,O0O veterans who obtained loans last year bought newly-built homes. The VA figured the new homes financed under it's new program about 100000 - accounted for about 20 per cent of all new one family homes built over the na- ton in 1853.

Yes-Men

Ahab was never bothered by
conscience. but Jehoshaphat had
misgivings. He sincerely wanted to
know how God thought of all this.
He felt in his heart that if God
did not approve, the whole venture
was sure to fail. So he asked his
royal colleague Ahab to find out
what was the word Of the Lord
about all this This was Jehosha-
phats first mistake, for Ahab was
the last man to know. or to want
to know, the will of God How
ever, Ahab, being up-to-date and
very rich besides had stable Of
yes-men whom he called prophets,
men he hired, men who knew on
which side their bread was but
tered. It seems ridiculous to call
such men prophets, but false
prophets look and sound very
much like true ones-especially
when they tell us what we want
to heart So Ahab called a meet
ing OF these yes-men and asked
them the question:: Shall I 90 to
battle? Their answer was prompt,
it was just what the king wanted
to hear, as they well knew What
is Gods will? Go, by all means.
What will come Of it, how viii
the battle go? The Lord VIII give
it into King Ahab's hands. Two
lies; perhaps the prophets knew
it, perhaps not Perhaps they did
not care whether it was true or
not; all they knew was what they
were paid to say, and they said it.
Whom the gods destroy, they
first make mad. says an ancient
Roman proverb, We could revise
that and not be far wrong Whom
God wishes to destroy, he first sur
rounds with yes-men.

Truth No Matter What

Jehoshaphat was still nervous.
Unanimous opinion about de-
batable question is suspicious in
any language So he asked if the
king had any more prophets Well,
yes, there was one, man named
Micaiah-only you viii never hear
anything good from him, said
Ahab. However, Micaiah was
sent for, and in his coming and
in what he said he put his name
on the honor roll of history. Mi
caiah had everything against him;
the vote in the Prophets Associa-
ton was 400 to /; the king would
not believe him, the war would
start, and would fail anyhow;
and Furthermore Micaiah himself
would never be thanked for tell
ing the truth and might end his
days eating bread and water in
Jail. Nevertheless, Micaiah. being
a true prophet, knew what the
truth was, knew Gods will and
mind, and dared to speak it out.
The world needs Micaiahs We
have any number of men who will
tell the truth when it is popular,
when people will believe them,
when it gets them something.

400 Against One
Lesson for May 20. 1854

L VERIFYING was set for the
II great offensive. The cause of
the war was beyond criticism,
as those days went The enemy
controls one Of our cities. and
we aim to get it back. Armies
and nations have argued like that
since the beginning of history.
So it looked to the two kings.
Jehoshaphat and Ahab, on the eve
Of their military adventure in
Ramoth Giead. That was the
name of city which had been in
Israelite hands generations before
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-05-20
400 TO |

This story shows, moreover,
what a mistake it is to decide
what is right and what is wrong
by counting votes. Even if the
vote is 400 to l, the one man may
be right. Even if Micaiah were
silenced (as he was) and his
sour note''-as Ahab thought it
no longer disturbed that beauti-
full harmony of the 400 yes-men,
they still could not make a lie
true by agreeing on it. In a dem
ocratic country like ours we tend
to forget this. We decide so many
things by popular vote, that we
come to suppose we can settle
what is right and what is wrong,
