inescapably connected with run
ming a live. organization.
A Philosophy Of Life
Radicals don't have the time
or the money for many movies
or concerts or T-bone steaks or
decent homes and new cars.
We've been described as fana-
tics. We are. Our lives are domi-
mated by one great, over-sha-
downing factor - the struggle
for socialism. Well. that's what
my life is going to be. That's
the black side of it. Then there
is the other side of it. We Com
munists have a philosophy of
life which no amount of money
could buy. We have a cause to
FIGHT for, a definite purpose in
life. We subordinate our petty
personal selves into a great
movement of humanity. We
have a morale, an esprit de
corps such as no capitalist army
ever had: we have a code of
conduct. a way of life, a de-
votion to our cause that no re-
ligious order can touch. And we
are guided not by blind, fanati-
cal faith but by logic and rea-
son. by a never-ending educa-
ton Of study and practice.
"And if our personal lives
seem hard or our egos appear
to suffer through subordination
to the party, then we are ade-
ouatelv compensated by the
thought that each of us is in his
small way helping to contribute
something new and true. some
think better to mankind"

COMMUNIST DEDICATION

A letter to an American friend
from a young Communist, print
ed in Presbyterian Survey, has
been given further circulation
by a North Carolina broadcaster
through the trade publication,
Sponsor. The impact of this let
ter is tremendous. 1t shows how
the Communist attachment to
political purpose functions as a
religion, avowdly humanitarian,
altruistic, full of good purpose.
Yet, we realize that his total
commitment can be nothing but
a foolish and empty hope be-
cause its ultimate purpose is to
enslave the world.
But the point of the impact
is this: How does. u own dedi-
cation to freedom and our
church compare with this per-
sonal devotion to Communism?
Can our omn commitment to
truth match the intensity of
this? Except for its content and
meaning, with regard only to
its measure of dedication. this
letter reminds one of ST. Paul's
inspired messages to Christians
of the first century. In present
ing this letter of the young
Communist. l would like to ask
whether you, with your love of
truth, your belief in right and
in God. can match it in serious
ness of purpose.

be observed throughout the nation as
Constitution Week and special pro-
grams relating to that historic docu-
ment will be held in schools, clubs and
patriotic organizations.
In Mississippi these programs will
be of special interest and significance
because we, as a people, have always
held in our hearts a love for the prin-
ciples of truth and justice found in u
constitution upon which this nation was
founded-and under which it has grown
Ito be the greatest power in the world.
1t is true in Mississippi, as else
where, that there are some who are
not concerned with the loss of liberty
and individual freedom of others, so
long as their own is not Threatened. 1t
is readily apparent we have some groups
as we'll as individuals that are more
interested in preserving Or attaining
special privilege for themselves than
they are seeing the American concept
of freedom for all realized by their
fellow citizens.
The principle of individual liberty
and freedom for everyone under law
with due regard for the rights and
dienity of every human being is the
solid basis upon which this republic
was founded-and it will endure as long
as we cherish our heritage enough to
preserve it-and preserve it we must, at
any cost.
We have long held that the Con-
stitution of the United States is the
greatest document ever penned by men
outside the inspired Word of God. I'm
der this wonderful instrument we have
more freedom and independence than
any people in the world. During every
week of the year, but especially
throughout Constitution Week, we
should take time to- count our blessings
and proclaim them to the world. We
should appreciate so much our own

the ends of the earth to protect and
defend it should that become neces-
sary.
Has the reader read our constitu-
ton lately? Read it and ponder the
rights and privileges it guarantees you
and every citizen of this great nation:
It establishes for you a stable and
responsible government.
Tt makes you a citizen of the
United States, if native born.
It gives you citizenship, if foreign
born, on complying with liberal natura4
~aiZation laws.
1t allows you a voice in the govern
ment through the officials whom you
