bay and a beautiful sandy beach,
we saw the rapids end abruptly
IN water fall that fell perpen-
dicularly to a shelf of rocks and
river about 100 feet below. Had
we followed the guidance and
instructions of our experienced
friend, we would have been
dashed to death.
Our older friend meant well,
and / loved him, but l question
ed his judgment or his recollec-
ton Of the facts when | heard
the big noise. His friendship
would have destroyed us, in spite
of his utterly good intentions. He
did not have his facts straight.
The most dangerous Of our
country's enemies is not Rus
sian military might or the spies
she sends to infiltrate our gov
ernment and other strategic
places in church, school and pro-
fession as we'll as in industry.
These are serious indeed and our
government is wise in taking
them seriously in its program to
protect us against our enemies.
But, worse than these are the
friends, some true and some
merely processing, who believe
or act upon so many things that
are not true, who would guide
us by sentiment or prejudice and
lead us down the mistaken roads
they follow.
Their very earnestness in be
half of the benefits Of paternal-
istic government, the strength
ening of central government in
its economic control of our lives,
qualifying and even doing away
with the freedom that made this
country great and strong, makes
them the most dangerous of our
enemies.
They are the blind leaders of
the blind, the prejudiced or mall
informed and even ignorant
leaders whose professions of
friendship and love lower our
guard and dull our awareness
against the destruction toward
which they lead or guide us.
No one who would remain free
can escape the responsibility of
recognizing the truth, doing his
own thinking and refusing to
compromise principles for exper-
diency.
God save us from the friends
who would relieve us from the
responsibility of providing for
ourselves, or who would save us
from communism by destroying
our freedom.-Dr. Alfred Haake
