Some people think that God does
not really want every one to be
saved. So he never tries hard to get
through to the people he has no in
tention of saving. The "call" of God
is such that it comes to some in a.
loud compelling sound; to others in
a whisper they cannot hear at all.
Very few people really believe this.
Most Christians believe that God
sent his son into the world to save
the world, that God desires all men
to be saved. They dare not lay the
blame for failures on God. So it is
said by many that wherever fail
ure of the Gospel message has to
be chalked up, the fault is not
Gods but the messengers The wit
ness was not given in an attractive
way, the minister did not speak
with conviction, sins in the lives
Of Christians erect a barrier that
no good words for Jesus" can get
over. There is much truth in this,
Of course. Most Of us who are older
can remember preachers We heard
in years gone by. preachers We
thought ridiculous land maybe
they were). IF we are Christians
now. we thank God that finally
Gods message came to us by q
more credible messenger than
some Of those.
Some People Never Open Their Mall
But after all, the heart Of the
reason why some respond to God
and some don't, il In the hearts Of
those who hear. Consider the diff
ference, in these notes in Acts. be-
tween tho believers and those that
never believed. There were at least
three points Of difference. !. Some
were serious, others laughed it off.

Cincinnati (ANP) - Despite the
fact that centerfielder Willie Mays
and shortstop Ernie Banks were
leading the league in batting and
home runs, respectively, both were
nosed out in the balloting for play
er-of-the-month award, as the Ma

pitcher Indy Mcdaniel Of the St.
Louis Cardinals.
Mays, Of the San Francisco
Giants, finished the month with a

Banks, the big gun in the Chi
cago Cubs lineup, was leading all
other hitters in home runs, with

However, despite their records,
the selections committee cast nine
votes for Mcdaniel, to only eight
each for Mays and Banks. McDan-
iel did pitch good ball during the
month. He appeared in Is games
and had an earned run average Of

Pancho Herrera, a rookie with

NEW YoRK-The u. s. il on
the verge Of a major racial cat
astrophe similar to the violence
and bloodshed that erupted in s.
Africa recently, a southern journ-
alist warned this week.
Writing in the current issue Of
Look Magazine, George e. Nc
MILAN declared that "sit-down''
protests by young southern Ne
groes may hold the fuse that,
ignites the explosion"
Mcmillan, a resident Of Aiken,
S. c. said he was "astonished"
during a recent trip through the
south by how rigidly and inflex-
IDLY the sides have lined up" in
the racial struggle.
THE MOST Frightening thing
now" he wrote, els the air Of
resignation with which southern
ers Of both races view the newt
ability Of violence.
'Tt h not so much that any
body wants violence as IL Il that
nobody sees any alternative to IL"
Southern Negroes, Mcmillan
noted, "are infused with n new
determination, and are ready TO
risk violence TO get some Of the
gains they believe are due them. "
THE MuDDLE-CLASS whites,
he added. seem ''helplessly COM
mitted'' to violence.
To prevent violence, Mcmillan
predicted that somebody outside
OF the south will have to inter-
vene and that intervention will
almost certainly have to come
from the federal government"
