o. 8. Senator from Massachusetts,
I am glad to have this OPP
portunity to pinch hit for
one Of Americas best-liked
columnists, Tom Stokes. I
have always had respect for
his integrity, although fire.
quently we are at opposite
poles in our thinking on cur
rent issues.
Since the beginning Of our
Nation, courage and fortitude
have been hallmarks Of Amer
lea and the American way OF
life. Our cities. towns and
farms were carved out Of q
wilderness; our Government
was created out Of a fight for
freedom.
We have had to have
strong leaders to guide US
during the growth Of our Ma
ton. Courage and determine
ton are, therefore. among the
most priceless qualities Of our
heritage and Of those who
serve our country. These
qualities have very much dis
tinguished our present Sec
rotary of State.
The primary duty Of q Sec
rotary Of State is to advance
the interests Of our country
around the world, protect
American citizens and their
interests in other countries
and TO do his utmost to keep
peace. Secretary John Foster
Dulles has done Just that.
He has always worked pri-
marily to promote the secu-
rity Of the United States and
the cause Of peace. He has
indeed devoted his entire life
to advancing the interests Of
our Nation in international
affairs. Without his guidance
Of these tremendous interna-
tional problems, we might
well have suffered many more
setbacks and achieved much
less in our cold war struggles.
President Eisenhower's pol
icies with Mr.. Dulles advice
and guidance have kept US
out Of war without sacrificing
our principles and without
compromising the detectives
which we seek. Although
from day to day we cannot
be sure that we are free from
the threat Of aggression. we
have maintained under this
leadership peace without COM
promise.

The American Way
WOMEN MAY READ THIS
By GEORGE PECK

EDITORS NOTE: George Peck is
President of the Laymen's National
Committee, sponsor of National
Sunday School and Bible Weeks
God ordained that men and
women should enjoy equal rights.
We read in the First Chapter of
Genesis, 9th verse, that God
created man in His own image, in
the image of God created He him;
male and female created He them"
Continuing in the 18th verse,
we learn that God blessed THEM,
and God said unto THEM BE
fruitful, and multiply and replen-
ish the earth, and Subdue it; and
have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth
Please note God did not say He
was giving woman dominion over
the earth, nor did He say He was
giving it to man-His statement
and instructions were given IN
to THEM"-to both male and fe-
male.
And so from the beginning of
time, it was intended that woman
and man should have equal rights.
Unfortunately, somehow in the
course of history, man arrogated
to his sex, a monopoly of certain
rights, contrary to Gods injunc-
ton that both sexes should have
equal dominion over the sea, air
and land. When in 1915, King John
was forced to sign the Magma
Charta, the rights it granted were
not for men only-women proper
ty holders we're given the same
rights. ParadoXically, as civiliza-
ton improved c?l men contrived
to monopolize all rights.
When our own great American
Constitution was drawn up, the
term men" we hope was used
generically, but the Supreme
Court made up of men only
ruled otherwise. So it was not
until the 18th Amendment was
ratified in 1920 that woman Sc
cured the right to vote right here
in enlightened America. But the
right to vote left women with
many rights still denied them. To
obtain these rights they now gal
lantly fight.
While American women were
battling for the right to vote, their
sisters in many other lands strug
gled toward the same objective.
They were victorious in a number
Of other countries before our
American ladies won their battle.

franchise its womanhood. 1t did

There are many legends about
decorating the Christmas tree. One
dates back to Boniface, who as
Englands missionary to Germany
in the Sth century, replaced the
sacrifices to Odin's sacred oak to
a fir tree adorned in tribute to the
Christ child.
Others say that the tree and its
candles should be attributed to
Luther. Another says the practice
dates to the TeutoniG practice of
bringing trees into homes to APP
pease the god-like spirits that were
believed to inhabit forest timbers.
But there is a legend more beau
tiful than all the rest. According
to it, when Christ was born a group
of stars looked down upon an olive
tree, date palm and a pine tree
which stood over the manger.
Seeing that the pine had nothing
to offer in His honor while the
others gave fruit and dates, they
descended from the heavens to rest
upon the pines boughs as an offer
ing-and that was the first Christ
mast tree.

you ever felt anxious as to
whether or not you will have
enough to eat from day to day?
Of course not, for you know only
too well that your mother and dad,
who love you so dearly, will see to
it that all your needs are supplied.
However, sometimes conditions and
circumstances make it necessary
for us to turn to a more than
human source for help among these

one of US far exceeds that of any
earthly parent promises to Supply
all your need" He will never dis
appoint you if you will but take
Him at His word, and believe His
promise.

that after the children of Israel
crossed the Red Sea, they soon
forgot all about the mighty mir
acles which God had wrought for
them. After they had journeyed

found no water" they at last, to
their great JOY saw some water,
but soon discovered that it was
bitter to the taste. In their keen
disappointment, they began to
mumur and complain. and to
blame Moses for all of their troub-
les. In answer to Moses prayer,
God instructed him to cast a tree
into the waters and "the waters
were made sweet"
