recently, according to the AS
Sociatcd Press, that private ini-
tiative will have to do much of
the job Of improving conditions
in lOW-income areas.
That, l should say, is one Of
the prize understatements of the
year. The truth is that private
initiative will have to do ALL
of the job of improving condi-
tons in loW-income areas.
For the supplemental Fed

by Clague to be also essential
is simply the governments use

neSSeS run by private initiative.
SO, willy-nilly, as long as we
are free. all economic improve
ment comes from private initla-
tive. Government cannot add to
this; it can only subtract from
it.
To tax private industry and
then hand back part of the pro-
cccedS labeled Federal aid" is
not to change the facts. IT is
simply to confuse the situation
by switching labels. If the gov

Ohio's election laws were
rather thoroughly revised and
"Streamlined" in an omnibus bill
passed by the Tooth General
Assembly in 1853.
Again, in 1865, the l0lst Gen
eral Assembly passed legislation
which will result in more effici-
ent elections and smoother ad-
ministration of OhlO's election
laws. Some Of these changes were
made TO strengthen legislation
which had been passed two years
earlier. Other laws were passed
TO meet new needs which had
developed.
Sometimes, legislation is need
ed to correct or clarity sections
of the law following court de
cisionS. Such decisions often

who fear, because Of d close vote
or for other reasons, that their
defeat is not actual
In the so-called odd year
elections, like the one just held
in November, when township
and municipal officials are chos-
en-, many close races develop. In
addition there were more than
l,500 local issues voted upon in
Ohio, such as bond issues, tax
levles, local option, etc. The
results of these Warmly-ConteSt-
ed elections often bring ties,
close votes, and many recounts.
The recounts which get the
most public notice are those
which rarely occur on the state
wide level. But when they do,
there are always rumorS of all
kinds and sometimes the public
gets an erroneous impression Of
the world recount.
The fact that d recount is held
does not mean there has been
fraud or irregularities in the
conduct of an election. 1t is true
that some irregularities are un-
covered as the ballots are can
vaSsed in the Boards of Elections
offices, Likewise, irregularities
have been discovered in cases
where no recount is involved.
In most instances, recountS do
not change the vote tallieS very
much at all. percentage wise,

Ohio'S precinct election officials
DO under trying circumstances.

With the passing of the old
year and the beginning of the
new year, resolutions have per-
tinent part in the lives of a great
many people. When the custom
of making new resolutions began
is hard to say, yet it is today 4
very real part of most Ameri-
cans keeping of New Years day.
Ever since men have made
errors, they have been faced
with the necessity of making
amends and doing better in
those ways. May we notice few
Biblical resolutions which may
well be a good guide TO us in
our efforts in this direction.
"The Psalm writer's have ex-
pressed several resolutions which
they prefaced with the two
words, Il will". When we reflect
on the goodness Of God to us
through the past year we realize
how short we have been in the
matter of praise to Him. So it is
that the Psalmist declares, 81
will - yet praise thee more and
more" (Psa. 7l:14). And again
he says, Il will sing praise unto
thy name forever" (Psa. 6l:S)
Surely it would pay all of us
to make this as one of our
resolutions on this New Years
Day.
"The Psalm writer also puts
his thought in writing in another
matter, saying, 81 will rejoice
in thy salvation" (Psa. 9:l4.
The American people take so
many things for granted and
among those things the great
salvation from sin afforded us
in the finished work Of Christ on
the cross of Calvary. Let us
determine with the Psalmist that
we will be more grateful for this
great salvation and rejoice in its
benefits and blessings.
perhaps the reason for much
of the blasphemy and swearing
or taking of the name of the
Lord in vain would. vanish and
be gone from the vocabulary of
the general public if this next
resolution would be made by
those who are habitual offend
crs. David said, I'VE will re-
member the name of the Lord
our God (Psa 20.O. When we
remember also that God him.
self has said in what we know
as the Ten Commandments,
Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain; for
the Lord will not hold him guilt
less that taketh His name in
vain, We may realize somewhat
of the solemnity of the matter.
May we truly resolve to remem-
Der the name of the Lord in true
reverence.
1T is the prophet Isaiah who
says, Il will trust, and not be
afraid" lisa. 1921. In this day
when men are fearing this and
that and visiting pSychiatrists
on that very account, it seems
that this is most necessary
resolution to make by most
people. knowing about God and
believing the Bible is not enough.
To quell fears we need to have
our sins forgiven and a clear
conscience before God and man.
Then we may really be able TO
trust God.
Finally, as the last resolution
we would like to suggest from
the Bible is found in Psalms 1871.
Il will love thee, O Lord, my
strength. Herein is expressed
the highest thought and motive
we may have toward Divinity
To love implies obedience and
willing service. A resolution to
love God is SO very important
when We remember that man is
made of all beings alone having
a capacity to do that very thing.
Let US determine then to do SO
with our whole heart, soul, mind
and strength

these sayings of mine. and
doeth them not, shall be lik-
ened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand"
Matthew 1926
As we have been considering
the word fool" as used in the
Bible, we have learned that God
uses the term to describe the
wicked and those who make
their plans and live as if there
were no God. Last week we used
Jesus parable of a certain rich
man who had one desire to
use his riches for ease and pleas
ure, giving no recognition to God
for His goodness, grace and
mercy. God said to him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall
be required of thee . :"
This week we see that there
is another group of people which
jesus classified as foolish -
those who have heard His teach
ings and did nothing about it..
The Greek word used in our text
is the same as our English word
moron" --- not necessarily dang
erous or immoral, but just not
mentally developed, not very in
telllgent; dull; stupid.
When we realize that Jesus
is very God, and that He is con-
cerned about mems welfare that
He desires men TO share in Gods
blessings and be happy. we can
understand why He refers to
those who neglect to follow His
teachings as being foolish.
If a doctor would carefully
explain to his patient the seri-
BUSINESS Of his illness and en-
ohasize the need of taking medi-
cine as prescribed, we would
sonsider the patient as crazy
han" if he just kept the medi-
Sne in a bottle on the table and
I'd not take it as ordered.
Jesus illustrated His point by
bomparing such people with the
lian who built house on sand
can unstable foundation). A hard
Jain storm caused il to crumble.
Any person who knows anything
A about building realizes the inn
i portance Of going down to hard,
1 firm ground and establishing a
! sound footing. Then the build
I ing will be stronger. If the
7 would-be builder is a novice, he
: should seek advice from one who
knows before he begins to build,
So in building" a life, God
has laid out certain blueprint
and has given specific directions
on how to build beautiful,
practical, happy life. The person
who follows those directions is
wise man Matthew 7:2D.
The Apostle James was led to
put our thoughts in these words:
BE ye doers Of the World, and
not hearers only, deceiving your
own selves" (JameS l:22).
In Psalm IL and 2 we read
that blessed is the man that
Walketh not in the counsel oi
the ungodly, nor standcth il
the way of sinners, nor stitch
in the seat of the sCornful. But
his delight is in the Law of the
Lord; and in His Law doeth he
mediate day and night"
