Each Blue Cross and Blue

WHAT COUNTS in life is what man believes,
has in his heart and knows for certain concerning
his relation to the world of his fellow man. Man
is judged by his performance of these beliefs and
in the ultimate attainment of his destiny. If we
know what man believes, we know what manner
Of creature he Is. Nations, too, are judged BY der
religious character.
Take for example our own national history. 1t
has definite moral and religious background. The

Founding Fathers knew that the depth Of this
foundation would be the measure of our nations
strength and the certain guaranty Of its prosperity
permanence and peace. They knew further that it
was not the number of texts one read, nor the
sermons one heard, nor the religious converse.
tions in which one participated, that counted, but
the earnestness with which one accepted the truth
of religion and made it part of his life.
The Founding Fathers believed deUOutly that
there ,Uus a God and dtGt The unGIienObIe rights Of
man sCee rooted not in the state, nor tbe Iegis.
LGnWe, nor in any other human POSCer bat in
God alone For proof of this, one only need refer
to their writings from the MayAOwer Compact
to the Constitution. They feared God but were not
afraid of Him. This was true because as they
looked about themselves they saw light although
they were in the midst of darkness they saw truth
although they were surrounded by error; and they
saw life though many faced death.
The hand Of ate Divine
What they Overcame they concluded was by
Divine purpose. God tries one with little in order
to see what he will do with lot. When say this

solely on Gods direct intervention. Not at all -
they IabOred hard and fought valiantly. Eut along
with their thinking and their acting they had faith
in Him. They knew that He would not save them
from their own fOIlies. But they held to Him
understanding their need - to work through to a
solution Of their own problems.
That is, indeed, what the Bible teaches: ''WOrk
out your OSm salvation for h is God ~hioh
SUOvketh in yOu" through you, He is the source Of
Joy, wisdom, tenderness; but He is also the God of
pain and grief To the free He is an endless
crusade of possibilities.
Just now He may not seem to be that for many.
In the face of current history, the world is rocked
by disbelievers. They ask, where is God when all
this happens? And the answer is that He is within
us and about us but we fail to manifest Him. When
the mOres Of the people deteriOrate it is reflected in
their laws and in their behavior. But God always
remains, holding the Light Of hope. 1t is kindly

All manner of examples of nonessen-
tial spending could be cited. One : and
a very big one : lies in projects and pro-
posals which would put the government
deeper and deeper into the business of
producing and distributing electric pow
er. The direct cost runs into the billions
and the economic sin is compounded by
the loss of taxes that results when tax
free government projects take over from
taxpaying private enterprise. The irony
is that there is no needed power pro-

matter whether the power is to be gene

The set of potential resi-
dents which would most likely
take notice of such an altera-
ton in the tax schedule would
include statesmen and others
involved in travelling through
out this area. The central To-
cation in the state which Lex
ington offers would make it
an ideal headquarters for
those involved in such occu-
pations. A highly favorable
tax rate would simply serve
as additional incentive.
Whether or not you agree
with Mr.. Povall's specific
suggestion it can hardly be
debated that Lexington or any
other similar municipality
needs to offer something diff
ferent in the form of an un-
usual attraction. 1t could be
