Double Check

Saw where the Republicans had
moved over to Chicago for their
Convention. hey took Senator
Byrd's balance budget plan
a ong. also Governor Almonds
speech. They got new Chairman
and new battle cry. They think
they got everything this time. its
all depending upon the mistakes
the Democrats make in their Cali
fornla set up Doing something diff
ferent IS the life Of any party
1t doesn't have TO be sensational.
The COP got in twice on the
Hadacol rock and roll campaign
its got TO be something new.
They may even start a campaign
to the Moon. just saw where seven
space men-to-be, all seven hus-
bands, signed up BY their wives and
made ready for trip up in 1861.
Evidently pending the outcome Of
the next election. all protestants
and l guess all Republicans. Great
freedom ahead for them no matter
where they land. AT least the wives
are the only ones happy, the chill
dren have q sad look, what!l 40
papa?
Looking At the unsettled mes Of
the Nation. it's obvious that there
is only one way to settle things
and that Is to have Constitutional
Convention and bring everything
down to date. There is no more
satisfactory way in Sight.
Nothing runs smoother than Cum
oerland poliflcs. and Robert Gar
nett finally got to visit with DC.
Thanks for reading

military authorities.
A majority Of Philippine senators have
signed petition. requesting that Philip
pine authorities make the final decision
whether a L. S. serviceman was on duty
when he committed a crime off the limits
of the base.
One can understand the nationalist pride
citizens Of any country have, in wanting
their courts to deal with serNicemen who
break the Law on their own territory
On the other hand it is unquestionably
true that we are doing much for most of
these countries, perhaps saving them from
communist domination, in addition TO pay
ing our own way in defending them, and
helping them economically Iii these cir
cumstances it would seem that Philippine
authorities, and others. would be willing to
exercise joint authority in the case Of the
more serious crimes, while we should be
willing to allow the authorities in indepen-
dent foreign countries law-enforcing au-
thority in breaches Of the law which are not
so serious.

Cold War Moves

THE Soviet Union has warned the United
States to stop high-altitude flights to
Berlin, in another move to harrass our sup
plying Of the former German capital. So
Wet MIG fighters blzzed T. S. transport
in recent days carrying its cargo to Berlin.
The y. S. plane continued on it's course and
landed in Berlin.
However, there is no denying that the
latest Soviet move is a serious matter and
one which should do little to improve the
atmosphere in the negotiations over Berlin.
In fact, we would not be surprised if such
continued pressure tactics did not result in
an adverse reaction on the part Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower himself. The President
has often said that he would not negotiate
under duress or under the guns, so to speak,
and the repeated pressure plays of the So
Wet Union and its stooge, East Germany, in
hating our trucks, buzzing our aircraft,
etc, should brstle the backbone Of Mr.. Eli
senhower
In view of the fact that our military
leaders have testified before Congress in
recent weeks that the United States could
devastate Soviet Russia, at the present time,
in case Of war, there seems to be no reason
for the United States to back down on Ber-
lin - if this is really the situation. The
United States should not, in fact. attend any
summit conference on the question of Ber-
lin alone, while the interference with our
normal supplying of Berlin is in progress

4 crisis is said to be brewing over L. S. -
- Philippine relations. This, Of course is
a serious development as far as Z. S. tor
eign policy is concerned
Since 1916, when the United States grant
ed independence to the Philippines, the two
nations have been solid allies. Now the VS.
sue which is threatening to cause trouble
between them is the same old bugaboo
which has caused SO much trouble for the
United States all over the world.
1t is the question of who will try L. s.
servicemen when they are guilty of com
hitting crimes outside the confines of their
American base.
The background to the Philippine crisis
is relatively simple In 1856 the Philippines
proposed that the present agreement be
amended so that Philippine courts would
be allowed to try U. S. servicemen guilty Of
crimes committed outside u. S. bases. The
L. S. apparently accepted this, with the
provision that the top American military
commander, after discussion with Philip
pino officials, would be able to decide
whether the servceman was on duty or not
on duty. If he were on duty, the presump-

Voice Of God
At time in his life when a
throne would have seemed a fan
ciful dream. the prophet Samuel
had taken Saul secretly, and SOL
EMMY poured oil on his head, thus
amounting him to be the future
king of Israel. This was before the
great battle of Jabesh that gave
Saul his national reputation. Saul
himself may not have taken
Samuers prediction seriously. be
cause he went on back to his farm
ing. But after the people voted him
in as the first king. Saul would of
course remember Samuel and the
secret amounting and prophecy.
There is no doubt that Saul was
convinced that Samuel was a true
prophet, that he spoke with the
authority Of God himself.
Samuel was the one link with
God that Saul had He had no Bible
to study, no church to help him,
and he himself was anything but
a religious genius. David and
others seem to have been able to
understand Gods will by direct
revelation. but for Saul, Gods
voice and VIII had to come to him
through the prophet.
The most serious element in
Saul's failure vas right here: he
stopped caring what the voice of
God said He figured. perhaps. that
since God had given him his start,
he would be bound to approve
whatever he did He was never
more mistaken God wants his ser
wants to succeed, but if they aim at
the wrong kind Of success, or If
they adopt wicked WAYS Of attain
ing good goals. he wlthdraws his
support. God is not going to work
for and against himself at the
same time, and he will not encour-
age men to do SO either.

Voice Of the Crowd

The third mistake which Saul
made was perhaps one Of the most
common. in our day or any time. 1t
was letting the voice of the crowd
speak for God. PLATE made that
mistake, and SO have countless
others. But you can't get right and
wrong figured out by arithmetic.
What is right to do can never be
found out by counting votes. And
yet people keep on making that
foolish bluEder. They read in the
kinsey Report that certain sex sins
are widely practiced among the
people interviewed by the author
and leap to the conclusion that
what so many people do must be
right. And so they conclude that
what so many people do can't be
wrong. They never do ask the
question: What does God have to
say?
