Byrd made It may be something like En-
gineer Charlie" Wilson's bird dog state
ment, which will be remembered well but
its application soon forgotten. Senator
Knowland4 artfully chose to defend his
fellow Californian rather than debate the
issues which Senator Byrd presented.
Senator Byrd pointed out his objections
in series Of 20 "quirks", many Of them
technical. In each case he pointed out the
dangers to the established constitutional
government Of the nation

Without Fear, Without Pride

Faith in God Ike all good things
can be turned into sort Of mock
cry OF itself. cheap or grotesqpe
imitation Of reality Faith can be
cover-up for fear 1t can be used
as retreat to get out Of attempt
ing hard things. Once a young man
was pleading in great gathering
of Christian leaders. for men to
go out as Christian missionaries. =
this in a day when missionaries
were very few An older minister
rose and told the young man to
sit down: When God is ready to
convert the heather, he will do it
without your help!" That minister
was using his faith to conceal his
own unwillingness to risk the dan
gers OF being missionary Some
parents are SO much afraid Of vac
cination that they will refuse TO let
their children be vaccinated We

faith is rugged thing, as Caleb S

Then faith can be twisted into
pride, Hitler is an example Of that.

Inquisitor; SO have been any num-
Der OF tyrants in the church and

fidence. but not conceit. When a
man Of faith begins to confuse him
