Non-Dutch Trude

JAKARTA. Indonesia. Dec.
26 R.-The government said
today 1t will guarantee the Sc
curity Of non-Dutch businesses
in Indonesia.
In a nationwide radio broad
cast the Information Ministry
said recent government moves
to take control Of Dutch
owned businesses would be re-
stricted to the Dutch.
Many Western businessmen
have been fearful the govern
ment might also seize their
enterprises during q 3la-week-
old campaign to force most
Dutch citizens out Of Indo-
nesia. The campaign was
touched Of by the Netherlands
refusal to hand over Dutch New
Guinea to this island republic.
The broadcast accused the
Dutch Of launching slanderous
propaganda about conditions
in Indonesia since the CAM
paign began. The ministry said
the security OF foreign enter
prises other than Dutch will
continue to be guaranteed.

Strategists Squirm
When Democrats are able to
elect Governors Of Kansas and
Iowa--two banner Republican
States-as they did in 1856, to
pick up seats in farm districts
hitherto held by Republicans,
and even to reduce the vote cast
for President Eisenhower in

predicted that Mr.. Benson
would resign on his return from
q trip which took the Secretary
around the world. Mr.. Benson,
however. on the same day. re-
turned to Washington and said
be had no intention Of resign
ing. And there the matter has
stood.
A real upturn in agriculture
might change the picture ma
terially for Mr.. Benson and for
the Republicans. That. how
ever, has still to materialize.

there are no present plans for
his resignation.
1t was learned further that
President Eisenhower will not
ask Mr.. Benson TO step out of
Office.
The decision whether to re-
main in his Cabinet post or to
quit, it was said, will be strictly
up to Mr.. Benson. He will have
to decide whether he is needed
in his job and whether he is a
political asset or liability to the
Republican Party and the Ell
senhower administration.
Grumbling Persistent
1t is true that farm prices
and farm income have inn
proved in many categories and
places. It is also true that no
one has come up with an alter
nate or a new farm program
which would justify relieving
Mr.. Benson.
The grumbling among farm
ers against Mr.. Benson, how
ever. has been strong and per-
eistent. His greatest trouble
has been his inability, it Is
said. to sell himself as a friend
iiof the American farmer to the
Farmers themselves. The Demo-

Characteristics of A Christian
Church-Its Reception Of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Apostle Paul, on his
second missionary journey, had
preached the Gospel of Jesus
Christ in the Greek city of Thes-
salonica (Acts 17:1-3). Some of
them believed and consorted
with Paul and Silas; and of the
devout Greeks great multitude,
and of the chief women not a
few" (Acts 17:4). Thus Christ
ian church was founded in that
metropolis.
Some time after establishing
the church at Thessalonica, Paul
had occasion to write to that
group. He commended the people
when he wrote: "We give thanks
to God always for you all, MAX
ing mention of you in our pray
ers; remembering without ceas-
ing your work of faith, and
labour of love, and patience of
hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight of God and our
Father" q Thessalonians 1:2, 81.
We see this more clearly as we
note their reception of the Cos
pei, their testimony, and their
waiting for the Lord Jesus
Christ. Here we see the charac-
teristics of a Christian church.
For this writing, we will con-
slider just one characteristic-its
reception of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Paul refers to it as their
work of faith" The word which
work" translates can mean the
act or the result.
The Thessalonians had heard
the Gospel (Christ died for our
sins, was buried, and was raised
from the dead-Acts 17::3; l Cor
inthians 1914. Paul did not
proclaim it as a mere eloquent
discourse, nor was it a dead mes
sage. 1t was given ''in power" !"
