Modern Living

nR. LEWIS A. kRAUSE, associate pro-
fessor of medicine at the University of
Maryland, has a new theory on the pace of
today's living.
Whereas most people think the pace of
modern living is too great, Dr. krause
believes that the pace of living 1000 years
ago was even keener. People of that age
thought they were about to be taken by
evil spirits, and lived in continual dread.
according to krause.
We believe many people today are over
come by spirits, although they may be of
a different variety, but certainly the danger
is there today as it was 1000 years ago.
On one point, however, we agree with DR..
krause. He points out that the thought of
having to undergo surgery 1000 years ago
surgery performed with flint knives and
no anaesthesia-was a somewhat painful
mental outlook. We are willing to accept
number of tax Worries and heavy traffic
IN n1odern-day driving, if we can escape an
operation with flint knife.
Moreover. we will concede that it is a
little better to compete for lady's hand,
under modern conditions. than it was 1000
years ago--when the loser ended up with a
stone club smashing in his head.
Nevertheless, we cannot go long with DR..
krause to the extent that we need more

Top Level Visits

GONE FRANK talk passed between Air
y Force Chief of S raff Ma than Twining
and Russian leaders in Moscow recently
The occasion was Twining's visit and at
tendance at the annual Moscow air show.
One of the interesting exchanges took
place between various Russian leaders, in
Guiding Defense Minister Georg Zhukov,
concerning disarmament Russian leaders
made several speeches. and Twining frank
ly told his Russian hosts that the United
States would not disarm until we are sure
of worldwide arms controls.
TWining pointed out that the United
States had hastily disarmed after both
World Wars and that after World War ii
we were placed in dsadvantageous posi-
ton when the war broke out in Korea and
we were then lightly armed.
The voluminous Russian talk about dis
armament is ironical in view of the
strenuous exertions President Eisenhower

troubles He believes that we are entirely
too comfortable today, and we'll fed We
agree we are too we'll fed, but we believe
that today's fast pace of living is respon-
sible for much heart disease, numerous
strokes, and premature aging and death
The perfect solution. in our opinion, is
to live at slower pace. without the fear
of displeasing the gods-which was pre-
sent among peoples 1000 years ago-and
without having to worry about either in
come taxes or earning the almighty dollar
The answer to this is to be found in ones
own personal philosophy, and without
some restraint, the average person today
IN the modern business world, would blow
his stack relatively early.

Through Him, the World


Through Him, the World
The line that divides all things
that exist into two different kinds
of things. the first and most i'm
portant line, is not the line divld
ing spirit from matter. The real
dividing line is that which runs be-
tween Creator and Created, or to
put it in another way. the line
between God and everything else
that is. When you take time to
think about it. you can see that
only God can be on the creator
side of creation God alone. of all
that exists. is because he. is and
not because something or some
body else made him be. Every
man must say to himself, If it
were not for such and such per-
son. or such and such an event.
would not be here But God could
not truly say thing like that He
does not depend on something or
some one else for his very exist
ence. as we fdo 1t is by his good
will that we are in the universe at
all. il is by his will that the uni
verse is here for us TO be in. Now
the letter to the Hebrews declares
that Christ is God active agent
in creation. In the simple words Of
the writer. We read that through,
the Son. God created the world
No wonder the early church soon
saw that this puts Jesus on the
God-side of that line dividing Gre
ator from Created This is part Of
what we mean when we say that
Jesus Christ is divine
Reflection and Stamp
Another part Of what we mean
is expressed in those two words
reflection and stamp" The old
Greeks had story about crea
ture called Gorgon, with snakes
for hair. so horrible that the very
sight of her turned the behoider to
stone Only when a brave man
thought of going up TO her, not
looking directly at her but into
mirror, was any one able to enter
her presence and live In quite the
opposite way. God is not too hor-
rible. but too holy. for mere men
to gaze at. We too need a mirror
to reflect the unbearable glory Of
God; Christ is that reflection He
is likewise the stamp Of Gods
nature. He is as it we're God S sig
nature. his handwriting. his per-
sonal seal
"rhereiors Closer Attention"
The divinity Of Christ of which
these sentences in Hebrew are
only a few of the New Testament
testimonies, was never thought OF,
in those clear early days of the
church, as mere doctrine in
book. 1t meant and means some
thing intensely practical II Jesus
is really divine, then. we cannot
just take him or leave him II he
is Gods Son he is no more OPP
tional than God is. Deciding for or
against him is the most important
decision in Life What he tells and
teaches is not ''one mans opin-

have come closer to disarma ment than ever

AS a result of Twinings trip. we believe
prominent Russians will be invited to this
country, perhaps to witness U. S. air shows
Certainly, we can lose nothing in this way,
since these shows are practically wide open,
anyhow, and we think the United States
