Laws and Whims

JEFFERSON SAID, Let no
more be heard of confidence
in man, but bind him down
from mischief by the chains
of the Constitution" Our
Government was to be one Of
laws, not of men. Every citi-
zen could know the rules of
the game, for laws an
nounced in advance, not the
arbitrary whims Of officials,
we're to guide legal decisions.
No special favors by govern
ment to some at the expense
of others. Individuals might
discriminate personally but in
the eyes of government each
and every citizen was to be
weighed on the same scales
of legal justice.
These principles now APP

White Father in Washington
dispenses blessings" to a
favored few at the expense
of the other taxpayers. This
power keeps growing. And
now The Star, the leading
newspaper at the seat OF
Government, recommends
(July 81 that at least one
governmental agency make
decisions, not by predeter-
mined law, but leach case
on it's own merits" This
with respect to the impend-
ing eviction of a 14-year-old
unmarried mother from her
parents apartment in a Gov
eminent housing develop
ment.
Deplorable as this may be,
it is understandable in one
respect. Many past violations
of the principle of govern
ment by laws have contrib
uted to this distressing situa-
ton. The land and money OF
many property owners and
taxpayers were taken. by
force or threat Of force,
through taxes and eminent
domain, to build housing to
rent below market prices to
those few chosen to profit in
this way. Rulings which pre-
vent a 14-year-old unwed
mother from living with her
parents may be necessary If
the Alexandria Redevelop-
ment Authority is to fulfill
its obligation. Money and
property in its control should
not be misused nor should
they benefit persons preclud-
ed by the wording of the
law. But the very fact that
the authority has this pow
err, that it can grant or with
hold favorS, that it can sep
arate families, is already the
consequence of the fact that
a special privilege Qow-rent-
al housing) has been given
to some families and not to
others. The public housing
program itself violates the
principle of equality under
the law.
Government by law, rather
than by the whims of govern
ment officials, made this the
land of opportunity for all
citizens. Violation of this
principle is turning this
country into a land Of OPP
portunity only for the polit-
ical ms and their friends.

USING THE RECIPE

Diagonally across the street
from the church l served for many
years was large assembly hall
organization widely known as the
Knights of Columbus. To secure
funds necessary for its proper
maintenance it was frequently
rented for secular purposes. Thus
annually the appliance dealers of
the city used this spacious audi
torium for conducting cooking
school,. On successive days I saw
the female of the species great
crowds of them-elbowing their
way in to find the choicest avail
able seats.
Now I would in no wise dis
parage the desire of the fair ladies
to acquire greater culinary skill
for if it is true, as commonly al
legged, that the way to a mans
heart is through his stomach, then
anything that makes our better
halves more proficient in serving
palatable meals is distinctly worth
while. am for it.
Too bad, that there is a shadow
side to all this and that shadow
side is the somber reality that to
learn new recipes and then ac-
tuaIly to use them are entirely
different things. have the sneak
ing suspicion that when the last
cake of the school has been baked
and the last recipe has been care
fully copied that it will be plac-
ed upon the shelf of neglect and
seldom if ever used The handy
can opener will not enjoy a vaca-
ton and the packages of ready
mix" foods found upon the coun-
ters of our super-markets will re-
main as popular as they were be-
fore the cooking school was held.
But what good are recipes for
serving nutritious and tasty foods
if they are never used?
And then, preacher that / am.
my thinking strays into the realm
of the Christian church. | realize
that the church, too, deals in reci-
pes. an entire book of them. 1t is
the Bible. 1t directs. attention to
food for our souls needs. 1t offers
directions for spiritual health, but
these directions have little value
unless they are applied The value
of the cook book and the value OF
the Bible is dependent upon their
use. Here / would offer an illus
tration of what / mean.

SLAUGHTER NEcKA
OF ia MINI STFNR
III Recorded Weekly BY ~
DR. eDWNRD kuHL MANN

Some years ago, on student
tour of Palestine, l spent several
days in Damascus, reputedly the
oldest city in the world, dating
back to Abraham the acknowledge
ed founder of the Jewish race. The
melting SHOWS of mountains to the
north flow the purest water
through the heart of the city and
yet its streets and even its people
are the dirtiest I have ever seen.
Is this an indictment of the cleans
ing power of water? OF course
not. 1t is an indictment of the
people who live for not using the
water that they have.
So it is with the Bible and the
Church. Some have said that they
are a failure because there is still
so much evil in the world. This
charge is entirely false. The
Bible and the church are the most
potent forces for good that the
world has ever known. They have
not failed; the people have failed
in governing their lives by them.
Wickedness remains because the
contents of the Bible and the pre-
cepts of the church are not fol-
lowed. This reminds me of story.
Farmer Ezra was sitting astride
a rail fence surveying his fields.
A car drove up and a man stepped
out with a good-sized book under
his arm. Greeting Ezra, he opened
the book and began to explain to
him an outline of what it con-
tanned. 1t was book on scien-
tific farming as compiled by ex-
perts at the state university. The
seller was quite insistent that
Ezra should buy. Just think of
it," he said, IF you will follow the
information this volume offers on
crop rotation, soil fertilization,
seed selection and many other
hints to numerous to mention, you
will be a much better farmer and
make great deal more money.
Ezra listened patiently and then
said, 1T amt no use, stranger.
That book would do me no good.
Fact of the matter is that / amt
farming half as good now as /
know how" And an equal fact
is that with recipes as with the
Bible, it is not the lack of know
ledge that spells failure but our
neglect in using the knowledge
that we have. Think Of sthis the
next time you take that book OF
recipes from the kitchen shelf.
