Wesley, the sweet singer of Meth
odism." Because of the lyrical in
spiration of this great man, early
Methodism sang it's way into the
lives of the people. Charles Wes-
ley, who voiced the songs of evan
gelical experience, was giant in
his own right. 1t was in the sing
ing of the hymns of Charles Wes-
ley, and repeating parts of them
to one another that the early
Methodists kept alive the flame OF
Divine fire that was in their hearts.
By these hymns, the people became
acquainted with evangelical doc
trines. At the heart of his great
hymns are the vital Christian doc

To see the postmark of
Thompsonville this week that
was used on letters was inter
esting. The post office of that
small community went out of
existance in March of 1902
when rural free delivery of
mail started. Mr.. Harvey
Thompson, the postmaster at
that time, used q small book to
sample his stencil of the mark
and today he proudly shows it
as a bit of history, as he
says, Of that other day. The
present generation is caught
up in the whirl of every day
living but it is good and in
teresting, too, to be reminded
of what went on almost fifty
years ago in rural communi-
ties and how things were done
then. Mr.. Thompson tells about
having a book of poetry, writ
ten by his mother, that 1 may
persue and when that hap
pens there will be further
news of Thompsonville, name
that must have had it's roots
in the family of Thompsons,
because they have lived there
for many years.

competition for available
goods and services. There is
no way to regulate this except
to find some inexpensive and
miraculous way Of abolishing
the Kremlin and its menace.
With population growing
and civilian demands increas-
ing. and with the constant
need for replacing wornout
plant and undermining factory
equipment, the national econ
omy has q certain momentum

rested by meat-ax methods,
recession" and even a de
preston" can be precipitated.
The Federal Reserve Board
is keeping its restraint on
lending. but even this has not
yet produced a decrease In the
supply of money or brought
about a trend toward lower
interest rates. On the con-
trary, the Federal Govern
ment, itself. still Is seeking
lenders and is finding it nee
essary to pay higher interest
rates than ever before for
short-term borrowings.
Hence, it is obvious that the
demand for funds is still great
er than the supply. It is un-
likely that actual Government
spending will decline so as to
cause the flow Of many bill
lions of dollars Of income to
the public to stop. II. never.
theless, taxes are reduced. the
new income to individuals and
to business will be used to bid
up prices for goods wanted and
viii add to the total spending.
Tax reduction is q proper
stimulus in hard times. It be-
comes q stimulus to imitation
and rising prices in boom times.
When win the boom times stop.
and hard times begin? Who
wants to start a chain reaction
toward a recession? Which
party in Congress will take re-
sponsibility for it?
These are the vexing ques-
tons on which the people need
to be informed before they can
line UP for budget reduction
irrespective Of what is cut or
tax reduction irrespective of
when 1t Is to be made effective.

When the Democratic Ad-
visery Council won the fight
from the Democratic National
Committee to issue statements
on party policy. it was in busi-
ness.
It promptly pulled together
three such statements which
made the front pages. It now
plans to raise funds Of its own
and to stay on the job at least
until q Democratic President
becomes the undisputed
spokesman Of the party.
What this represents is an
effort by the State organiza-
tons to exercise well in adj
vance of the national con-
vention the power they have
at that convention to name the
nominees for President and
Vice President.
It has been demonstrated
over and over again at the
conventions of both parties
that the leaders of Congress
must there take back seats to
their Governors and State
bosses. Until the delegates start
to gather, Senators and q
small elite Of House leaders
appear to be the voice Of the
voter. But when the men and
women who live close to the
grass roots arrive. the poten-
tates of the Potomac fade
away.
The Republicans at no time
during their recent 20 years
In exile nominated for Pres
ident one Of the Senators or
Congressman who had been
speaking for them in WASH
ington all that time. The
Democrats have never NOM
mated q Senator in their bet

ence.
