Allies Awoit Eisenhower Program,
Aimed TO Dispei Fears and Doubts

The heads Of states of the
North Atlantic Alliance are
gathering In Paris In an I'M
precedented atmosphere Of
fear and doubt. Fear Of
the Soviet Union and her
minions. Doubt whether
American can catch UP
with the Soviet's progress
in nuclear weapons and In
conventional might. 1t is this
atmosphere which led Presi-
dent Eisenhower's intimate
advisers TO urge him to at
tend the meeting despite the
earlier opinion OF his physi-
clans that he will need sew
eral weeks OF complete rest for
his recovery from cerebral
ocelusion.

This week the Christian proverb
that we will consider is recorded
in Matthew 7:21 Not every one
who says to me Lord Lord shall
enter the kingdom of heaven, but
he who does the will Of my Father
Who is in heaven"
One of the biggest mistakes Of
the present day church situation
is the willingness of many people
to believe that just because they
have their name on a church roll
some place. their salvation is as
sured. Mere formal membership
in a church does not prove thing,
as is clearly indicated in the word
of our Lord. Mere attendance at
a service. no matter how regularly
this is done. is not a guarantee
either. The will of my Father
reaches far beyond the mere
formalities of church membership.
1t is a relationship that depends
more on what we do during the
week than in the words of our
mouths on Sunday. Mere lip serV-
ice is not enough. In fact, this mere
lip service is probably more con-
demning than no religion at all,
for we must remember that our
Lord was hardest not on the open
ly sinful people, but on the out
wardly religious people of His
time He could pierce through the
shell of outward responsibility
that these people put on, and in
one place predicts their destiny in
such words as these: Woe unto
