THE POLITICAL MILL
By GOULD LINCOLN
Presidents Second 100 Days

ready has urged upon Con-
gress. In the first hundred
days, Mr.. Kennedy was able
to get favorable action on
bills to increase temporarily
the period of unemployment
compensation, to provide for
care of children of unem-
ployed workers, and to give
Federal aid to depressed
areas" The Kennedy min
imum wage bill, now in con-
ference, may come before the
House later this week for
final action in that body.
This is regarded as a crucial
test. The House defeated the
Kennedy bill by one vote
when the measure was origi-
nally before it, and sub
stituted one of its own. The
Senate brought the bill back
into a form acceptable to the
President. If it can pass the
House, it will be a distinct
feather in the Kennedy cap.
Big Job Ahead
The Congress has still to
come to grips on bills provid-
ing Federal aid to education
grade schools as well as COL
legeS. Other major bills the
administration labels must"
include medical care for the
aged, a Federal housing bill,
and a bill to continue the
Federal highway construction
program. There are many
other proposals, including
amendments to the tax laws,
big appropriations and au-
thorizations for public works,
mutual security legislation,
changes in the labor laws,
and civil rights legislation.
In connection with the last
named, Senator Mike Mans
field, Democratic leader of
the Senate, promised to
bring before the Senate be-
fore it adjourns this session
a resolution to amend the
cloture rule-the rule which
is supposed to end debate.
His present plan is to bring
up such a measure after the
legislative program has been
disposed of. If he does, there
seems no chance of an ad-
journment of Congress-or
at least of an adjournment
of the Senate - until after
Labor Day or later. The
theory is that if cloture is
made easier, additional civil
rights legislation may be put
through without being fill
buStered to death by un-
limited debate in the Senate.
The liberals there are pressing
for majority vote for closing
debate instead of the present
two thirds vote. Senator
Mansfield may propose q
three-fifths vote.
Two recent civil rights
announcements coming from
the Kennedy administration
may complicate matters on
Capitol Hill. The first is the
suit brought by the Attorney
General, the Presidents
brother, to force Prince
Edward County. Virginia, to
reopen public schools, which
were closed IN a light against
desegregation in 1859. The
second was a speech delivered
by Secretary of Labor Gold
berg in New York, in which
he strongly urged integration
at every level-Social, govern
mental. business and employ
ment. Mr.. Goldberg included
private clubs, of which many
members of Congress and
high administration officials
are members. The effect on

The second hundred days"
Of the Kennedy administra-
ton have begun. They prom
Use to be busy and important,
both on the foreign and do
mestic fronts. Much lies be-
fore President Kennedy de-
manding earnest considera-
tion and action. He must find
some way to put this country
on the march as leader of the
free world. During the first
hundred days, the cause of
the free world had a serious
setback - in an area almost
on our own door r-Step-Cuba.
The failure of the anti-Castro
Cuban invasion (by CubanS,
aided to a small degree by
the United States) has been
chalked up generally as a
blow to our prestige abroad.
1t appears to have solidified
Dictator Fidel Castro's grip
on the island. Further, it has
made Cuba's relations with
Soviet Russia even more solid
than they had been, if that
be possible. And the Castro
government must henceforth
be regarded as a firm foot
hold for communism in the
Western Hemisphere-a foot
hold that will persist if the
United States and the other
American republics take no
further steps. President Ken
nedy has warned Castro that
the patience of the United
States is not inexhauStible."
Meanwhile, Castro has con-
tinued to attack this country
as "imperialistic," which is
the mildeSt of his criticisms.
President Kennedy has a lot
Of ground to cover if he is to
overcome this setback in Cuba
for freedom.
The Kennedy administra-
ton is in serious danger of
another reverse as leader of
the free world, due to the
worsening situation in Laos,
where the Communist rebels
have made military gains
while a "cease-fire" agree
ment has been allowed to
stall. 1t would be an illogical
and hazardous enterprise to
send American armed forces
to fight in this Southeast
Asian war, when we declined
to give the Cuban anti-Castro
forces adequate military sup
port.

The Next Phase

The second hundred days
Of his administration may
find President Kennedy fac

tional situations - for ex-
ample, in Germany and Com

lin, and in the Congo where
we are committed to a United
Nations effort to bring peace
out of chaos - again with
Communist opposition.
These are vital problems
with which the new President
must wreStle. He needs all
the help a united country can
give him. If his decisions are
wise, he will undoubtedly
have that support. He has
warned the people they must

DORCAS, A WOMAN OF
GOOD WORKS
Background Scripture -
Acts 9:36-43 Print = Acts 9:
36-43
MEMORY SELECTION -
To do good and to communi-
cate forget not: for with such
sacrifices God is we'll pleas
ed. - (Hebrews 1870. Com
munication here means more
than conversation, but to be
generous in giving of our
gifts and offering to h e
needy and those who give
their full time to the minis
try. These need to be support
ed. To support Gods servants
and children is doing good in
a most positive manner.
While on the other hand, it
will do good or assist others
in doing good This giving is
to be on a scale where it
becomes costly to the donor,
even a sacrifice. This be-
comes pleasing to God and
is godlikeness. He is the
great Exemplar of giving. His
giving the only Son was sac
rificial in which He did good.
The sacrifice Christ m a d e
was pleasing to God.
THE DEATH OF
DORCAS:
In our continuation of the
series of studies of the per-
SOnalitieS. of the New Tesla
ment, we now come to Dor
cas-, a Christian woman of
the early Church, or Tabitha,
which was her name in Ara
maic. In Greek or Aramaic
the meaning of her name was
"gaZelle," which in the East
was favorite type of beauty.
The "gazelle" is an animal
that was common in the BIZ
bic lands from the earliest
times. 1t is distinguished for
its beautiful form, its grace
full movements, its soft but
brilliant eyes, and swiftness.
In Bible terms Dorcas' beau
ty resulted from good deeds.
She was certainly swift to do
good works and to accomp-
lish them with such grace
that all of her friends and
neighbors in the seaport town
of Joppa loved her. She was
called a disciple (Acts 1885,,
which evidently means that
she was convert. S h e
seems to have had som
means and also to have been
a leader in the Christian
community. DorcaS, was full
of good works, and aims
deeds which she did" She
not only pitied the poor when
the sharp wind blew, she
ministered with skillful fling
erS to the needy. In this verse
is a feminine form in Greek,
and this is the only place in
the New Testament that the
feminine form for disciple is
found. Dorcas was a devout
e m a l e lSclpl e. A
model for Christian women.
She fell sick and died (RSV)
Sickness and death have
always tested the faith of
people. Even the holiness and
usefulness of Dorcas could
not prevent her sickness and
death. Instead of having the
interment at once, as was
the custom in that day, they
took her body to an upper
room.
THE APPEAL TO PETER:
Dorcas did die in. the Lord,
and her works did live after
her. The survival of her
works was not so much in
the garments which sh e
made as it was in the hearts
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1961-08-05

which she touched. When she
and her garments had be-
come dust there were still
hearts which had been touch
ed by her love. That aspects
of her works lives even in
this our day. The remark
able thing is, Dorcas did not
build in stone and steel. That
was not her talent. She did
not create great music or
literature. That was not her
talent. She could have taken
inventory of herself and de-
cided that she could not do
anything big enough for
Jesus. No, instead she decid-
ed to take the thing h G
could do and do that to the
glory of her Master. That is
why Dorcas lives today. That
is what anybody can do to-
day. If you have the gift to
comfort the sick, do that to
the glory of Christ. If your
walk down the street will
cause a sinner to stop his
bad language, then do that
to the glory of Christ. Moth
ing is too small, if it is dedi-
Gated to the Master.
PETER RAISES DORCAS
FROM THE DEAD:
Peter made no announce
ment when he reached the
house where the corpse of
Dorcas lay. He made no self
eXalting show of power. He
dismissed the people from
the room so that he could con-
suit God in privacy and hui
mility. He did not know what
was Gods will in this matter.
He did not suggest to the
people that he did know. He
fell on his knees and asked
God what should be done.
God answered Peters pray
er and told him exactly what
to do. Peter arose from his
knees with Gods instructions.
He called, Tabitha, rise. God
had already moved before
Peter spoke. Dorcas w a S
ready to respond to his call.
Many were convinced of the
gospel by the miracle. Peter
took advantage of the good
impression made upon t h e
minds of the people by the
miracle and preached to them
the great truths of Christian
ity, and established them in
the faith.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
DorcaS: faith translated in
to service. In getting saved,
God requires faith without
wor k S, because Christ
wrought all works necessary
for our salvation. God ac-
cepts only the faith of man
In the salvation Of a sinner.
However, after we are saved,
God expects us to demon
Strate our faith in outward
works and the faith we have
in God and His Word should
be demonstrated in holy
works. Some people want to
work to get say ed, which
does not bring salvation,
while others who are saved
fail to work for the Lord.
Dorcas was full of goo d
works. Her whole life was
spent in acts of kindness and
charity. 1t is not difficult to
find something worthwhile to
do for the uplift of humanity
and the advancement of the
Kingdom of God.
