What of the Future

churches suffering irreparable harm.
What of the Future?
We don't know what is being cooked up.
An inkling can be had from a recent speech
of Mrs Agnes Meyer co-publisher of the
Washington Post to an Arlington County
Teachers Meeting. A fter a harangue
against the Virginia politicians, private
5 { h 0 0 | $, pseudo primitive
rural counties of Virginia, the wealthy Vir-
ginians, etc. she has this to say:
All that Virginia needs to do to accelerate
the nationwide impatience Of the American
with private education is to close the
public schools in one of its counties.
The result would be first demand for
Federal legislation to deprive all n-pubiic ele
mentary and secondary schools Of tax excmp-
ton. And the next step would be Federal legsla-
ton to the effect that every American child
must attend public schools during the elemen-
tary and secondary grades
Mrs Meyer is high in the social and po-
litical circles in Washington We take it
that she knows what she is talking about
and the information that the Federal gov
eminent is itching to get hold of the
schools of America is indeed interesting
For Mrs. Myers information, the people
in Virginia have no idea Of doing array icith
public education. Nor, has the Legislature
passed any laws closing the public school
system. On the contrary, the Constitution
Of Virginia requires separation of the races
in public schools. The legislature of Vir-
glnla has passed supporting laws Cd re-
curing all pupils to make application for
assignment to schools; (2) if for any rea-
son races are not separated, the school sys-
tenn will not receive state support, (3) the
schools will be closed temporarily: "a the
governor is charged with taking over any
closed schools and reopening them accord
ing to Virginia laws.
1t is mistaken idea that Virginia
schools will be closed permanently. They
will be closed temporarily until efficiency
can be restored by the governor. according
to the Virginia Constitution.
No system Of private schools is now con-
templated - Mrs Meyer used that as a
whipping boy We will venture to- say that
some system of private schools may be in
stituted if Mrs Meyer and those in the
Federal government attempt to take over
the schools of Virginia Such will not be
countenanced.
SO far as Virginia's primitive counties
are concerned. Mrs Meyer will find high
degree OF intelligence among the people
and. we venture to say. people who know
and appreciate freedom, liberty and con
sttutiona government

No Let Up-Attack Continues

its school desegregation decision. During
the intervening three years, reaction has
gone through several stages. The decision
came with shock. The public was stunned.
Then people began to think. They realized
for the first time what had been taking
place in this country for some years The
gradual shift from republic to a social
istic government had come when the jul
dcial branch usurped the constitutional
reserved rights of the states, and by passed
the Congress. Some people woke to this
fact. Unfortunately, the racial issue which
affected the South Immediately caused
Southern people to realize conditions. The
social-liberals had chosen the pu b c
schools as battle-ground Few people real
lied that over period Of years the church
es had been infiltrated. Today the schools
and the churches, particularly in the
South are being attacked and unless unim-
passioned, clear thought is given and ex-
pressed in calm, legal, careful action both
the churches and the schools will be torn
asunder

not believe in God unless he
writes, SO to speak, happy end

Hebrew people loved stories with
happy endings. and perhaps
Joseph is such story. In one way

stark expression, In a coffin in

Their, when you think Of all the
other stories tied in with that OF
Joseph, you will admit that not

neatly tied off in bow-knots Of
happy endings What became Of

slave-iraders? the baker who made
a dinner for the birds? the free

stories OF bad people come out

There is this much truth at any
rate. God has never yet abolished
sin, and he permits sins effects to
continue to be terrible. The only
way to abolish sin outri yht would
be to destroy freedom; for sin is
simply mans misuse of the free
dom God has given him. God
could, no doubt, have made the
human race so that they could be
wound up like clocks TO run right
no matter what. But he made men,
not machines. And the ira glc fact
OF sin Is a fact Thus every mans
story is spoiled more or less. In
deed there are no perfect stories.
God is God Of love; but he is not
the kind OF God who would force
all men to do right. regardless;
nor is he the kind OF God who viii

man does. he is bound to be hap
by ever after. It is not only that
men are affected by the results

But God Remem Der.

Nevertheless, God does not for
get. He is not careless nor power
less. Among the many truths which
the story Of Joseph suggests is the
doctrine called Providence Y Put
into simple words, this means
that God thinks OF things before
hand. In ways we do not under
stand, for it is his doing and not
ours, God works, both in spite OF
and because of the worst that sin
full men can do, works TO bring
good out Of evil Joseph's broth
ers and Potiphar's wife were sin
ners; yet God used their sins, in
his providence, to bring good into
the lives OF countless people Two
questions not cleared up in the
Old Testament have more light
cast on them by the New. Will evil
and good 60 on side by side for
ever? The story Of Joseph does
not look so far ahead The New
Testament shows clearly, No. God
will one day make final separa-
ton OF good from evil And then
what about those good persons
whose lives end in tragedy? The
New Testament reminds us hat
we never see the real end Of any
ones story in this world; coffins
