LISTEN HERE, Mr.. EDITOR!

The love of freedom and JUS
tice to all was the foundation up
on which this democray was built
The strong must bear the lnfirm-
ness of the weak says the Holy
Writ. Can Christian men and
women afford to refuse to obey
this mandate?
The minor group in this eoun-
try has been the loyal group to
the country in all her trials with
out murmuring. It mas followed
the flag wherever it has flown.
1t has never betrayed a trust
There has been no Benedict Arm
olds among this group. It has
taken the crumbs that have fallen
from the tables heaped high with
the food it has helped TO grow
and murmured not. 1t is seeking
no special privileges, just asking
for what it has earned by blood
and tears. 1t has harmed no one
but has been harmed and has
been patient This group has suf-
fered as no other group in this
country has suffered
Just as the Prophet Micaiah in
quired of the Lord whether the
king would win the battle, we
believe the nine judges inquired
of the Lord, what thus sayeth the
Lord?
Every good and just cause must
meet opposition. Christ had to
meet the cross for each and ev-
cry one of the human race even
those that are opposed to the
ruling of the highest Court in the
land, and the Divine tribunal be-
fore which the entire human race
must stand in the judgment A
court where there is no appeal
from. This land that We call the
land of the free and the home
of the brave had to meet the IN
just rules and tyranny of the
mother country and after seven
years of blood shed and suffer
ing she won her rights and made
the law that many are opposed
to that grants freedom to others

I'd come to, Upolu, In British
Samoa. Thirty-six miles from the
western point of Tutuila, Upolu
is about 40 miles long and Is
wide. I naturally wanted to find
q harbor In the American pos
sessions, but on my voyage I
always had to- do the best I
could.
Plans to Ride Canoe.
The wind and sea had become
rather light, but now were be-
ginning to pick up again as I
moved away from the sheltering
Tutuila. Behind me ! could still
see the island plainly. I plotted
the immediate future. I would.
If it seemed possible under the
conditions, drop anchor of
Upolu, ride my canoe into one
of the many bays on the north
shore, and find some natives who
would help me bring In the raft.
II this proved out of the uues-
ton. then I would 60 on to the

Closing on Target.

But 1t was not a night to be
sad. There was a full moon that
blazed among the squall clouds.
! had been at sea alone for 112
days. and now was closing in on
my target. The Sailing Direc-
tions for the South Pacific-the
official guide for mariners-told
me that the village of Fitiuta
was on Tau. I hoped the natives
there would help me reach Pago
Pago, the Samoan capital. The
wind was singing in the rigging,
and I broke out in a song every
once in a while, too.
Tau lay straight ahead next
morning. The wind had picked
up considerably, and clouds
crowded the sky. I knew a diff
f1cult job lay ahead, for the
reefs guard the islands well. But
I had hope of getting help in
finding a way to shore.
My radio transmitter, since
could operate the generator with
only one hand while tapping out
messages with the other, lacked
the power to reach long dis
tances-this ! had concluded
long ago after many tests. And
so I had ignored the transmittel

Cross Wind Is Problem.

With the Seven Little Sisters,
I had sailed all the way from
Callao. Peru, to reach this place,
only to find the last few hundred
yards almost impossible to cross.
It was 6:15 pm. on October
II when ] sighted the Samoan
island Of Tau-the first land I'd
seen since passing Flint Island
on September 18 and the second
since sailing from Peru on June
20. About so miles away, Tau'S
Mountain. 3.056 feet high, as my
sailing directions told me, rose
like dome out of the sea. Per-
haps, I told myself, ! could land
somewhere along its coast. The
island runs for five and three
quarter miles In an east-west di-
rection.
Night blotted out the island
about half an hour later, and I
made plans for approaching 1t
the following day. After blowing
so long from the southeast, the
wind had now become more
southerly. This was unfavorable
in two ways. For one thing, /
was moving toward Tau from
the north, and although it bore
200 degrees on my magnetic
compass, the best I could do
against the cross-wind was to
steer from 2l0 to 220 degrees.
Then, too, the wind tended to
drive me away from the shore
where I hoped to end my jour-
ney.
