Midnight Quiet

It's midnight, and the house is still;
No footballs on the floor or stair;
No sound of talk or Whispering
No sound Of movement anywhere.
Our robot stoves ore silent now,
And all their motors now ore mute
The noseless clocks without q tick
Though still engaged in times pursuit.
The night outside is also still;
No trains roar by; no autos roce;
The newly fallen robe Of SNOW
Has sound proofed oil around our place
sit here in my coy room
Beneath O shoded reading light,
Alone am | awake to share
The quiet moments Of the night
Note: Written jan ID, when there wos
snow on the ground and tempero-
ture down to 10 outside

The Kingdom Is a Living Thing

Jesus parallels show how the
Kingdom of God really spreads
and grows He called it once
kingdom of truth; and truth Is
Living thing. Truth cannot be forced
upon people. Mere copying Of
truth is mechanical and may even
be meaningless. Truth grows the
way plant does, the way yeast
does in dough; silently, steadily,
by the sheer power of the life that
is in it. But since the Kingdom Of
God is made up of people, since
the truth of Christ is not one to be
read about but one TO be lived out.
the Kingdom OF God, the world
Of his hearts desire, comes into
being by the personal touch OF life
on life, Truth spreads from pole
to pole only as it spreads from
soul to soul.

When the Supreme Court rendered its de-
cision on May IT. 1854 it apparently
did not contemplate that the various state
legislatures would enact laws taking away from
the local school boards then right to make
assignments Of pupils as well as providing for
the automatic closing Of schools and the
automatic cutting off of state funds Now
that this situation has been presented this
court (Federal District Court cannot believe
that the Supreme Court intended that the eff
feet of its decision could be completely de-
stroyed by action of the state legislature.
The issue should be met properly at this time
in order that the matter may be clarified
We agree with Judge Hoffman on this
point The U. S. Supreme Court, we believe
was sold Tbil of goods Politicians, in
tegrationists. do-gooders, one-worlders and
some fuzzy thinking organizations misled
the Court into believing this was the time
to further curb the rights and powers of
the states, and grab federal control of the
schools. We agree that if the u. S. Supreme
Court had entertained any idea that the
people of the South would resist, an en-
tirely different opinion would have been
declared
Gradually over the years, the federal
government and its agencies have usurped
state authority, but it remained for the
Court to flagrantly and papably usurp
authority in this case, which affects every
citizen. 1t has become clear that the feder-
al courts are being used to seize all con-
trolls and rights of the people for the Fed
eral government. violating the sovereignty
Of the states and placing this nation in the
hands Of few.
The issue should be met at this time and
clarified. That is Just what the thinking
people Of the United States want The only
way it can be done is to interpose the SOW
ere1gnty of the states between the people
and the federal agencies of whatever ma
ture, in this case the Supreme Court
Let's be honest and decide that issue, and
stop shadow boxing on the legal fringes,
and having federal Judge suggest from
the bench, ways of minimizing integration
at the price OF state sovereignty and indi-
Ndual liberties lost forever Let's be honest

a Definition
We can venture a definition Of
the Kingdom Of God to which most
persons will agree The state Of
things in which Cod will is wholly
done by all men in all things
Many persons will agree to that
definition but it leaves several
questions unanswered One of these
questions is dealt with in the
parallels chosen for this weeks
study, 1t is This; How does the
Kingdom grow, or spread. or come?
This IS an especially important
question If we understand that il
is part Of God plan to use his
servants meaning and including
ourselves TOTO help bring the
Kingdom to pass. to bring it out
of the world Of hope into the world
Of fact and experience. Most
churches sing the hymn; Rise up,
0 men of God" They do not sing
the parody on it which begins,
Sit down, Q men of God, you
cannot do thing"
Not by Force
But suppose we do rise up to
work for the Kingdom. what shall
we do?
Good men have long asked Them
selves that question . and some
times given wrong answers Some
have thought that the reign Of God
could be forced on men. So we
have had the Crusaders. the Inquisi-
ton, the New England "theocra-
cies', Calvin in Geneva and Crom-
well in England-all working Oh
the same theory: You can force
people to do God Will. This earth
can become like heaven if your
police force is good enough
Not by Machines
But that never has worked. 1t
can't work, because the Kingdom
Of God is not that sort Of thing.
So, other good but mistaken men
have supposed that the way the
Kingdom spreads abroad is by a
copying system Of some kind. let
us say by a vast mimeographing
machine Some particular person,
or period, or institution, is taken
as the absolute pattern. and peo-
pie are encoura ged to initiate it
to the last detail. For example:
the early Christian church. as de
Scribed in the book Of Acts, is
taken by some people as the pic
ture Of the ideal church. and all
churches lit is said should be as
nearly exact copies Of it as is
possible Or the social and polit-
ical organization set forth IN the
laws of Moses are taken to de-
scribe the ideal state, and we to-
day should initiate that if we want
to get the perfect society Or some
ancient saint is taken as the exact
model of every one who wants to
be good person. But these no.
tons are all off center No world
and no institution and no age or
system in the past was perfect
even for that day; and when you
take something that was imperfect
yesterday and try to make it fit
today, the result is more imperfect
then ever.

A grass roots movement
amounting to "a public revul-

to reduce defense budgets to
the point Of danger to our
security unless the military can
gain the complete confidence
Of the people in the field Of
economy and management" he
said.

speakers in q symposium on

mized the benefits Of genuine
economies in defense achieved
by better administration and
called for FIRST attention to

President Eisenhower's APP

Mr.. Janeway, president Of
Janeway's Publishing and Re-

in defense planning today.
Our defense problem would
be a pressing one even If it
were not complicated by the
financial limitations imposed
upon it today in the name Of

Held Primary Problem
With defense our primary
problem at the moment and
not prosperity, America can
well afford to buy what it needs
for the free world to keep the
peace. he said.
THE most urgent pressure
on the defense establishment
today is q financial pressure

Mr.. Gasch wants the appeals

But Mr.. Gasch contends the

This supercedes, but does not
