ONCE established law is treated as some
- thing archaic. and new-found opinions,
based on what they think the law ought TO
be, are handed down by the highest court
of the land, it is remarkable how quickly
things can get mixed up. Practically every
at orney at law is uncertain, or should we
say more uncertain, what the law IS, and
none can determine what the law Will be
if it is to be interpreted by the Whlms OF
the judiciary 1t makes everyone a bit Ut

Purse Strings in Reverse
WHO is right-George Humphrey or Har
ry Byrd

WHO is right-George Humphrey or Har
ry Byrd?
The Secretary of the Treasury is alarm
ed BY the trend toward bigger budgets He
declares President Eisenhower has labored
manfully to halt the trend and can't DO
much against spending mood among the
people and in Congress.
Senator Byrd famed as a watchdog of
the Treasury for a quarter of century,
says the major responsibility lies with the
Executive. He stands aghast at the record
breaking Eisenhower budget for 1858.
Which one is right? How can inflation-
AIRY spending be checked?
The ultimate responsibility rests with
the people They can get more economy in
government anytime they will insist on It,
And they can apply pressure both to the
Executive and to Congress But especially
on the latter, for additionally it is sup
posed to hold the purse strings.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1957-01-25

Representative government grew up
through the custom of kings asking repre-
sentatives Of the people to agree voluntari-
iy to furnish revenues. SO through control
Of the purse a check was established on the
activities Of rulers. Today--u d er the
American systematic Executive still esti-
mates what it will cost to administer gov
eminent.
But the role Of the peoples representa-
tives has almost been reversed. Many con-
gressmen have found that they can win
more votes by spending taxes than by saw
ing them. Each group that wants money
spent thinks it will get more out Of the
Treasury than it will have to put in
So Mr.. Byrd is right in holding that the
President must take leadership in showing
the dangers of this system and in setting
an example of economy. But Mr Hum
phrey is even more right in holding Con-
gress and the people mainly responsible

The Christmas spirit filled our house
And frightened up each room,
And in our hearts the Christmas Joy
DispeIed December gloom.
The fairies must have been at work
To change our home at night
To wonderland around Q tree
Transformed by bulbs Of light.
We much enjoyed the greeting cords
From friends both for ond neor

The soul Of Christmas cheer

And holly on the door
Still warm our heorts, but now they're gone
And quiet reions once more.

Jesus brought the paralyzed man

Can Jesus help today? Yes, in sew

Spirit, he can bring assurance of
God forgiveness. With that as
surance, the inner life can begin
again, healed and strong. % AS
the unseen but constant Compd-
MON, Christ can be SO real that IN
his presence temptation loses its
power, and the desire to live as in
his presence becomes high mo-

spired many man and woman
that they have been his personal
representatives he has lived in
them and worked through them.
Today there are persons, in Alec

Why People Are in Hospitals

One OF these ahead-of-time hints
was about the relation between
health and sin In the famous
story Of the man who was para
lyzed, brought in by four Of his
friends for Jesus to heal, it long
seemed puzzling thing that the
first thing Jesus said 10 him did
not appear to have anything 70
do with his case. Your sins are
forgiven, Jesus said. Perhaps the
four friends found it odd They did
not bring the man there to have
his soul looked into; they came to
get him back on his feet again Ii
was his muscles, not his morals,
that seemed TO need help. But
Jesus saw with certain eye that
the root Of the mans trouble was
not in his body, it was in his soul
He saw there was no use sending
the man back into activity, with
an active body but crippled soul
Jesus that day was probably the
only living person who could see
that Today the truth has daWned
on great many persons DR.. Rus
sell Dicks of Duke University says
it has been learned that the major
lily of patients in hospitals would
not be there if they were rid Of
what is eating into their minds.
Sins Against the Body
