Cod is expressed in several
places in the psalms for TO
these people who had needed
God on so many occasions
God is "merciful and gracious,
slow to anger, plenteouS in
mercy"
1.-THE Lord preserveth the
simple: | was brought low, and
he helped me" The
psalmist identified himself
with the simple when he
spoke of God as preserving the
simple and then admitted that
God had helped him when he
was brought low.
ID ELIV E r A n c E is
OF GOD:
Return unto thy rest, o my
soul; for the Lord hath dealt
beautifully with thee
The soul may now return UNI
to its rest as the dove of Noah
did to the ark of safety when
she found no place of rest on
the flood waters that ragged
outside. The pSalmist was
speaking of a trusting rest to
be found in the providence and
goodness of God and his lib
crafty. For thou hast de-
livered my soul from death,
mine eyes from tears, and my
feet from falling" 1t was
the Lord, not the soul of man.
that had brought deliverance
from death, tears, and deStruc-
ton. Because of the bounti-
full goodness of the Lord the
life of a man had been snatch
ed from the grave and he was
restored OF his former status.
GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR
SALVATION:
Il will walk before the Lord
in the land of the living"
God before whom he will walk
will be a witness to the COM
plete recovery this man has
experienced. Il believed.
therefore have | spoken: l was
greatly afflicted" kept
faith, even when said, 81 am
greatly afflicted"
This implies that the man
never lost his faith or conf
dence in God even in the bit
terest moments. Il said in my
haste, All men are liarS"-All
men are helpless to do any
thing for us when they have
reached the very depths of de-
Spair and are at the end of
life, when it takes nothing less
than d miracle to restore life
and health.
What shall | render unto
the Lord for all his benefits
toward me" The man
wants to do something to show
the Lord that he is thankful
and grateful for all that the
Lord has done for him. He
knows that he cannot do as
much for the Lord as the Lord
has done for him, but he wants
to do something to show ap-
probation and gratitude.
Il will take the cup of sal
walton, and call upon the
name of the Lord"
One of the first things to do
in case of this kind is to &C
cept the full measure of Gods
blessings and in return dedi-
cate to him the life he has
saved. To call upon the name
of the Lord is one way of ex-
pressing worship of God and
to serve him. Il will pay my
vows unto the Lord now in the
presence of all his people"
At least a man can keep
his promise unto the Lord
when God redeemS him. Us
ually men make a VOW or
promise to God when in
trouble, promising to do GER
tain things if God will rescue
them. Such a VOW this man

Lesson - Text - Psalms
116: 1T, 118 Print - Psalms
116: LA.
MEMORY SELECTION Il
love the Lord, because he hath
heard my voice and my suppli-
cations. - psalm 116:D.
One of the great joys of the
Christian life is that of hear
ing from heaven, even to know
that the Lord listens to our
cries. Another great joy is
that of obtaining answers to
our prayers. This is a great
cause for loving the Lord.
Hezekiah had experienced
Gods goodness to him in ans
wer to prayer, therefore, from
his heart he expressed his love
for the Lord. Every Christian
should be able to declare with
delight from the heart that he
loves the Lord. When the
heart is full of the love of
God, then the mouth will open
and express praises to God
with joyful lips.
LOVE TO AND TRUST IN
GOD:
Il Love the Lord, because he
hath heard my voice and my
SupplicationS" This is the
kind of love the psalmiSt was
expressing, for he had cried
unto God in the time of need
or some trouble and God had
been merciful and gracious
enough to attend unto his cry
or distress. At least the re-
spouse to Gods goodness was
made in terms of gratitude and
thankfulnnSS. and this is a pro-
gressive step toward religious
development.
Because he hath inclined
his ear unto me, therefore will
/ call upon him as long as /
live" Experience had
taught this man that God is alb
solutely reliable and can be
depended upon at all times
and in all circumstances. But
in this lies the greatness of
God in that he is infinite SOW
ereignty and yet so condos
cending that even the most
lowly gains his attention. 1t is
this greatness in the nature of
God that encourages those who
believe in him to put their des-
tiny in his care and be salts
fled to depend upon him for
deliverance in the time of adj
versity.
CALLING UPON GOD IN
DISTRESS:
THE sorrows of death COM
passed me, and the pains of
hell got hold upon me: l found
trouble and sorrow" Who
ever the man was he had seen
much trouble and sorrow dur
ing the time of his distress, but
was fortunate enough to re-
member to call upon God
when he was in the lowest
depth of despair, and God
heard him. "Then called | up
on the name of the Lord; o
Lord, | beseech thee, deliver
my soul" 1t is safe to
interpret the word in verse 4,
as meaning life, or breath, for
the writer has already describ-
ed his condition as one in
which his life is bordering on
death, he is very near the
grave because of his condi-
ton. 1t is natural that his
prayer would be for God to
save or spare his life.
Gracious is the Lord, and
righteous; yea our God is mer-
ciful'' This thought of

Unitorions Urge
China RECOGNITION

BOSTON. May 25 (AP).-
American Unitarian Associa-
ton delegates have voted
249-96 in favor of a resolution
urging recognition Of Red
China by the governments of
the United States and Canada.
The action came at yester-
days concluding session of the
associations 135th annual
meeting.
The resolution declared rec
ognition of a government docs
not imply approval of its poll
cieS." 1t added that recogni-
ton of Red China should not
prejudice the rights of the
Taiwan (Formosa) Chinese
Nationalist government.
Other resolutions approved
by the delegates supported the
Justice Departments proposal
to prevent racial discrimina-
ton in voting; urged forth
rightness in birth control and
population planning, spoke out
against anti-semitism; urged
both major political parties to
assure separation of church
and state, and indorsed repeal
of loyalty oaths for Federal
student loans.

Perfunctoriness at the u. N.

they fly over American ter
ritory.
All this is doubtless some
thing for the United Nations
to discuss sometime in its
academic way. BaSically, the
u. N. is used for propaganda.
1t can't really legislate on
world problems. 1t is not q
world government. 1t Is q
forum at which governments
blow on steam. This may be
useful because the moral
force of public opinion some
times can be influential in
preventing military conflicts.
The U. N. is, therefore, q
convenient mechanism for
cooling the tempers Of poten-
tial belligerentS.
But even before the U. N.
Security Council met, Mr..
Khrushchev indicated in his
East Berlin speech that, when
he had gotten sufncient mile
age out Of the Powers plane
episode, he would turn on
the peaceful coexistence"
tune again. Release of the
American C.47 transport
plane, which was forced down
when it accidentally few over
East Germany, is a sign that
the SovietS aren't seeking
more crises for the time be-
ing anyway.
The Soviet Premier prcb-
ably knew he was headed for
checkmate at the Paris sum-
NIT meeting because the
West wouldn't give in On the
Berlin issue, so he decided
on q strategy Of stalling. Mr..
KhruShchev now talks Of
another summit conference
lin six or eight months" But
he might be willing to delay
even longer.
For the Berlin issue merely
divertS attention from other
disputes and enables the So
Wet Union to get virtual rec
ognition of the so-called
status quo in Eastern Europe.
This means Western acqui-
escence in the conquest by
the Soviet Union Of Poland,
Bulgaria, Romania, Czecho-
slovakia, Hungary, Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania and East
Germany. 1t has been quite
an extensive aggression, and
the more issues Mr.. Khru-
shchev can raise in other
fields, perhaps the less at
tention will be paid by the
West to the slavery and
bondage in which millions Of
people are held in the satel-
lite states in Eastern Europe.

Democrats Believed Seizing on Summit
And U-2 Issue to Break Texans Control

The Democratic Party final-
" has broken free Of the
long domination Of its policy
toward the Eisenhower ad-
ministration by a congress
sional caucus ruled by Sem
ate Majority Leader john

That policy was one Of
Cancellation and compromise,
with the Senator dealing di-
rectly with the President and
his White House staff so as
never really to upset any
Eisenhower apple carts. 1t
extended also to the Treas
ury, particularly since it was
put in the hands of Senator
Johnson's fellow Texan, Rob-
ert Anderson. during the
Eisenhower second term.
This is the immediate po-
litical significance of the de-
cision of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee to in

summit conference. The

most demanded-by the Dem
ocratic candidates for Presi-

This illusion, the admiral
believes, is one Of the most
troublesome. AS a people we
are conscious of no aggressive

a deep-seated faith that in a

would be inconceivable for
Evil to win the ultimate VIC

This Good VS., Evil theory
makes it difficult for us to
accept evidence showing su-
perior performance by our
adversary. 1t lulls us into the
false theory that we may,
after all, turn the contest
into a peaceful competition
between different ways to a
better life.
Technology, he finds, has
done much to enable Evil to
be great deal more power
full than ever before in his

contest an essentially Diff

Non-Portisanship in Big Debate

Democratic presidential can
didates. One, Senator John F.
Kennedy, has publicly refused
to go along with that bit OF
hypocrisy. A second, Senator
Stuart Symington, has said
nothing CT the point. A third
Democratic candidate, Sena-
tor Lyndon B. johnson, sim
ply ignores the council. as
he always has, and privately
congratulates self for
having always boycotted it.
2. Most of the G. o. P. de-
fense of the President has
been fair and mature. Already,
however, that well-known
word "appeasement" is being
heard here and there to de-
scribe the complaining Demo-
Gratis. 1t is, of course, a wholly
unfair word, and it will hard
ly contribute to this great
debate.
3. Adlai Stevenson's attack
on the administration just
ahead of the Russian effort
in the United Nations to
brand US as aggressors was
wholly irresponsible, in its
timing most of all. And
more than any other Demo-
crat he has given the Re-
publicans the opportunity to
pass from the defensive to
the offensive.
4. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's
belated public indication that
he was doubtful all along Of
the summit business was re-
sponSibly put-and also en-
tirely true, as this CORE
spondent can testify on the
basis Of private conversations
of last year. But Mr.. Rookie
feller had his chance. before
the summit. to raise his
warnings. They come now
with a touch of second
guessing-and also of re-
vived presidential ambitions.
S. Vice President Nixon has
so far reasonably restrained
his natural partisanShip, as
have all the leading Demo-
cratic presidential aspirants.
But they will find it much
harder to maintain this at
titude as this row gets nastier
and nastier.

gresSion." Indeed, at one time
he struggled to develop some
kind of analogy between the
japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor in 1941 and the re-
cent American plane flight.
He finally conceded that,
while it wasn't exactly par
allel, the same theory Of per
fldy" could be applied.
Former Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets, who is doing a remark
ably able job as the Ambas-
sador of the United States at
the United Nations, picked
the Gromyko argument to
pieces in a few well-chosen
sentences. He said America
could bring up lots Of spy
cases when the spying was
done at much less than S.
900 feet in the air-namely,
on the ground. He gave the
names of the Soviet spies
who have been arrested in
recent years and whose activ-
tiles we had not magnified
into "acts of aggression"
This raises a question, Incl
dentally, of whether the word
spy" is being properly used
in connection with the Powers
incident. Usually a spy is one
who is disguised to conceal
his identity. But the Powers
plane was marked and readily
identified as from the United
States. The plane contained
only cameras which were
capable of photographing
any part of the Soviet Union.
But so do the space satellites,
flown by both Russia and the
United States, which are able
to take pictures from far
above the ground. AS Gen.

Is it really a violation Of

it is when American planes
do it, but nobody has threat
ened to interfere with the

The tension" seems to be
easing OF. Maybe the press
Of the world unwittingly in
fiated the significance Of
what now appears to have
been artificially contrived
anger at the summit by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev.
Certainly, as this corre-
spondent watched the Mon
day session of the Security
Council of the United Ma
tions in New York, the whole
proceeding had a perfunctory
air, with no feeling Of crisis.
1t seemed to be the routine
way the United Nations
handles debates largely de-
signed for propaganda pur-
poses.
An impression of perfume
toriness was particularly con-
veyed by Andrei Gromyko,
the Soviet Foreign Minister,
who sat at the main table
and, in an expressionlesS
way, read for an hour in
monotones q document crit
icizing the United States.
When he finished, the read
ing of the official tranSla-
tions took another hour.
Most of the delegates, and
the members Of the press,
left the hall while the official
translations were being read.
This was because as Mr..
Gromyko spoke. everyone
had at his seat earphones
carrying simultaneously on
each channel a translation in
English and French, called
"unofncial," but accurate
enough to tell the audience
what was going on.
Somehow, however, it was
the synthetic nature of the
Gromyko speech which made
the meeting something Of an
anticlimax after the TRADES
Of abuse which Mr.. Khru-
shchev had heaped on the
President of the United
States last week in Paris.
The pious exhortations of
Mr.. Gromyko seemed the
essence Of hypocrisy, eSpe-
cially his new concern for
international law and his
amazement over the fact that

allow us to close our eyes and
say we have a choice about
whether to build missiles and

continue to spend more on
improving consumer living,
and less on defense, and edu-

sort Of tendency to allow this
country to sink to second
place If the alternative means
uncongenial effort, or goes
counter to convictions as to
the proper place of govern
