Bill 10 Increase
House Seats
HitsLongD Delay
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

star 5taff Writer
The House Democratic lead
ership bill to increase the size
Of the House by three members
ran into indefinite delay today.
The Rules Committee suddenly
postponed a vote on whether
to send the measure to the
House floor.
Cancellation of the sched-
uled showdown meeting was
attributed mainly to the un-
avoidable absence Of some COM
mittee members. No date was
set for another meeting.
It was learned authorita-
lively, however, that some spon-
sors Of the bill welcomed the
postponement. They saw q
growing possibility that the
committee might refuse to clear
the bill or send it to the House
under an open rule permitting
amendments.
Fear to Let Down Bar
Backers of the bill to enable
M ssa C setts, Pennsyl-
vania and Missouri each to re.
tain one of the House seats
they otherwise would lose be-
cause Of population changes,
believe an open rule would re-
suit in the addition of many
more members. They fear this
alone could assure defeat of
the bill by the House or Sen
ate.
The Rules Committee, mean
while, heightened its sit-down
on administration supported
legislation for Federal aid to
higher education. After a hear
ing yesterday, the committee
took no action on a Democratic
leadership request that a bill
passed by the House on Janu-
ary 80 be sent to conference to
iron out differences between
it and a broader bill passed on
February 6 by the Senate.
Resumption Pledged
Committee Chairman Smith,
Democrat Of Virginia, said a
hearing which began yester-
day would be resumed "at a
date to be announced" He ex-
planned that several other mem
bers of Congress wanted to
testify.
Another reason for the con-
tinuance was evident in COM
ments by several members,
particularly those who oppose
the scholarship aid provision
in the broader bill passed by
the Senate on February 6.
Republicans and some Demo-
Gratis declared they wanted
assurances" that House con-
ferees would not accept the
Senate bills scholarship Sec
ton. They warned that such a
provision in a conference re-
port would cause the House to
reject the entire legislation.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
April Is, 1862
By Rev. George A. Harper
511 Avenue G
GrppnWOOd Mis-,

Greenwood, Miss.
LIVING IN THE LIGHT
of the Cross. Scripture Les
son, Titus 2:11-15; 3:1-8.
MEMORY Selection: | am
crucified with Christ: never
theless l live; yet not l, but
Christ liveth in me: and the
life which | now live in the
flesh | live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself for me-
Galatians 2:20).
The Christian life is di-
vine paradox. A person is saw
ed through the crucifixion
that is, the death of Christ.
When Christ was crucified,
every mans sins were laid on
Christ and He died as the sim
ner'S substitute. The life that
Christ gave becomes the life
of the believer. 1t is Christ
who dwellS in the believer and
sustainS the new life within.
This life is obtained by faith
in Christ and retained by faith
in Christ. Since He loved us
enough to die for us, we should
love Him enough to live for
Him.
GODLY LIVING IN THIS
WORLD: The theme of to-
days lesson is the meaning
and the influence of the Cross
of Christ in the life of the
Christian believer. The cross
calls the believer to a genu-
inc response to Christ in 10y
atty and devotion and inspir-
es him to consistent, faith Il
and courageous Christian con-
duct.
Gods grace hath appeared
which brings salvation: teach
eS us to deny worldly lusts;
teaches us to live soberly;
teaches us to live righteously;
teaches us to live godly in
this present age; teaches us
to look for the coming of
Christ.
Grace has appeared in the
person of Christ in His first
coming, and has continued in
its appearance to all men thru
the ministry of the Holy Spir-
it.
Glory will appear when
Christ comes the second time
to share His glory with all
who have accepted His grace.
The Mississippi enterprise., 1962-04-14

MRS. lLEZZETT B. SCOTT
wishes to thank the many
good friends for the tele-
grams, coincidence cards, and
words of sympathy. and deeds
of kindness shown her in her
bereavement. May the Lord
continue to bless each of you.
The Mississippi enterprise., 1962-04-14

In the meantime grace will
teach every Christian how to
live righteously on earth until
Christ comes to receive him
unto Himself.
CITIZENSHIP RESPONSE
BILITY: The Christian believ-
er is under a holy obligation
to present himself as a worthy
example of earthly citizen
ship.
AS a member of society and
a citizen of a state and ma
ton, he has civic responsible
tiles which must be fulfilled.
B u t these responsibilities
must be fulfilled in the light
of his heavenly citizenship.
The state is necessary in hui
man society. A state can be
maintained only if law and
order prevail and the civil
authorities are respected,
obeyed, and supported.
Under normal circumstan-
ceS it is the Christians duty
to do these things. Thus he
will prove himself a worthy
Christian example of earthly
citizenship. But under abnor-
NAL conditions, when the state
is a party to injustice and op-
preston, when it becomes a
police state and rules by ter
ror and tyranny, the Chris
tan must prove himself a
worthy Christian example
through constructive means
to change it and thus restore
the state to its normal (di-
vine) function.
SYMPATHETIC UNDER
STANDING: The Christian
believer is here instructed in
certain practical matters. In
his relations with other per-
sons, he must refrain from
SANDER. He must not speak
evil of anyone even when a
persons behavior and conduct
fit what could be said about
him. Rather, the believer
must be patient and gentle.
He must act in his relation
ship with others out of a gen.
uine sympathy, realizing
that he has not always been
correct, wise and godly in his
own behavior and conduct.
What greater lesson could we
learn from the struggles, the
sufferings, and the triumph of
Jesus Christ than the lesson
of our need of grace, of SYM
pathetic understanding, of pa
tience, and of love.

bers and friends are glad to
learn of the Improvement. :,
and his wife and daughters
are at his bedside, to do what
ever they can for him, and
the members and friends are
praying for his recovery.
The Mississippi enterprise., 1962-04-14

PRACTICAL POINTS OF
THE LESSON: On this Sum
day before Easter we turn
our attention to the Cross and
its meaning for us in our time.
Jesus bore His cross on be-
half of all mankind.
The early Christians bore
their crosses in loyalty to
Christ. In our time we must
bear our crosses with the
same loyalty and devotion to
a cause which Jesus and the
early Christians demonstrat-
ed. Our crosses are not made
of wood but of the intangible
problems of the spirit, con.rcl
of self and of human rela-
tionS.
Many of the people in the
crowds that hailed Jesus on
that first Palm Sunday were
quite willing to get on His
band wagon, but not willing
to endure suffering as He en-
dured them. In their cases, as
in the case of some church
members today, their willing
ness to follow Jesus ends at
the moment they are asked
to make some difficult sacri-
flee on His behalf. But when
we have the grace of God, it
makes the difference, for the
Saviour God appeared in kind
ness and love, died to save
all.
The grace of God, divine
love and regeneration make a
great change in a persons
life.
