Editor. Farmville Herald:
Only a few hours ago, a great
and good man died. He believed
III one nation, lndivisible. with
freedom and justice for all. He
truly believed in liberty, equali-
ty. brotherhood. He said SO, as
few men have dared to speak:
he acted. as few men have dar-
ed To act, yet with charity for
all and malice toward more.
Let all who believed with him
IN these things stand forward
now whatever the cost.
Let the strIdent voices of UNI
belief be hushed, the specious
arguments be heard no more in
the land

The Days Ahead

A MOTHER step will probably be taken
next Monday in the Prince Edward
County School case 1t is expected that
the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
Will determine the State Constitution in
regard TO public schools in Virginia. The
decision will be based upon appeal from
decision by Judge John Wingo Know
les, Of Richmond Circuit Court, for a
declaratory judgment Of Virginia Con
stitutional law regarding the actions of
Prince Edward School Board and State
Department Of Education.
Question answered by Judge Knowles
IN his decision Of March "a, 1863 and
now on appeal to the Virginia Supreme
Court Of Appeals are:
q State Board Of Education and the
superintendent Of Public Instruction have
no duty OF power to operate public schools
IN Prince Edward Or any other county:
~ Prince Edward School Board had
performed It's duty under the Virginia Con-
Stltution.

Giving Enriehes
Lesson for December l. 1868

Readers of the book Of Acts
will remember the interesting fl
nancial experiment that was car
ried on there in the early days
after Pentecost. All possessions
were placed in common fund
and were distributed to all. in
proportion to their needs. AS an
expression of unselfish Christian
love, this was admirable. AS a
permanent way of life, it was
bound to fail, because while the
plan managed distribution very
well, it made no provision for
production. So when the pooled
gifts were all used up, there was
nothing left but starvation llr-
less someone came to their res
cut.

Spiritual Blessings

Now the kind Of happiness and
satisfaction of which Paul speaks
IS not to be recognized BY Just
any one. If. to your mind, moth
ing is real except what can be
eaten. drunk or sold for cash,
then of course such things as
happiness and the grace OF God
are Just words. But if YOU know
how real the JOY Of serving God
is, you can experience the joys
of generosity.
Now some one may complain
that all this is a little hazy. How
can you prove to me, before
hand. that God will belss me if
| am generous? And how can |
prove to any one that God has
blessed me? The answer to that
objection is two answers. really.

Offering for the Saints

lOl tilS kJdIltS
This was where the Corinthiar
church came in. Paul knew that
there were serious differences
between East and West in the
church of that time, ard knew
also that ore cure for this WoulC
be for the Weather churches tc
help the poorer ones. He called
this the offering for the saints,
meaning the Christians in Je-
rusalen. He speaks Of this Of
fering also in Romans 1858.
Now Paul speaks about this in
an unusual way Most people, il
asked, What good will this Of
ferlng do?" will begin to tel
you what good it will do those
that are to receive it. Paul or
the contrary speaks most enthu-
siastically about what the offer
ing will do for those who give
it. There is nothing here suggest
ing the spirit Of some money

an unpleasant subject, and

The storm brought fresh
winds and steady rain to the
capital through the night and
all morning Friday. The fore
caster said heavier rains un-
doubtedly were occurring in the
eastern section, north of San
Pedro de Macoris, and some
flooding was probable in low
lying coastal and river-tribu-
tary areas.
Reports from the area were
lacking, however.
The position of the center

The heavy surf attracted

angry waves dashed on the
beaches, sending spray more
than 20 feet high.

Albania Raps
A-Test Treaty

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. ~ (AP). - Albania
brought the Communist bloc
split into the United Nations
today by assailing the limited
nuclear test ban treaty and
clashing head-on with Mos
cows current line of modera-
ton.
Albanian Foreign Minister
Behar Shtylla, in a policy
declaration before the Ill
Nation Assembly, followed
closely the theories advanced
by Red China against peaceful
co-existence.
He asserted that the test ban
negotiated by the United
States, Soviet Union and
Britain last summer will not
lead to disarmament but it
"endenders dangerous illusions
about the motives of the i'm
perialiSt nations"
Mr.. Shtylla blasted United
States policies in Cuba, Wet
Nam, the Congo and other
trouble spots. All this, he said,
shows that the United States
is still restoring to the same
old policy of nuclear threats
and blackmail."
1T is not possible" he said,
Ito trust peace to the within of
a few powers, particularly the
United States which is pursu-
ing a policy of preparation for
war"

weapons in a way Moscow dis
approved. }
From our point OF view"
the key passage reads, "the
very idea of the need of acquir-
ing their own nuclear weapons
may be conceived by leaders of
a country, the security of
which is guaranteed by the en-
tire might of the camp of Soci-
aliSm, only when they have de-
veloped some sort of special
aims and interests which can
not be supported by the mill
tary force of the Socialis t
camp"
The final clause indicates
that Soviet policy-makers could
conceive of situations when So
Wet military force should not
be committed to aid the "spe-
clal aims and interests" of the
Chinese.
A PravGa e editorial last
Thursday indicated that Soviet
support would not be provided
for Red China in case of an
other attack on India.
Official Acknowledgements
Soviet failure to join China
against India last october led
to widespread speculation that
the mutual defense treaty be-
tween Moscow and Picking
might be dissolving. Recent So
Wet government statements,
however, were the first official
acknowledgements of movement
in that directions.

defined to suit Communist pol

discuss possible action.
Some African delegates were
dubious about calling for out
right expulsion.
Its one thing to take a
country's voting rights away
for a year." said one delegate,
but to throw a nation out sets
a dangerous precedent that
might be turned against others
and could weaken the United
Nations"
The Africans plan to chal-
lenge South Africa's voting
rights when the ASsembly's
credentials committee makes
its report, probably in a week
or 10 days. Normally the re-
port is put in near the close
of the session, but the Africans

Mr.. RuSk and LORD Home
who meet with Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko to-
morrow, expect Mr.. Gromyko tc
raise once again a non-agres-
sion pact for NATO and the
Warsaw pact.
They are agreed that such q
pact, or declaration, must in
clude some provision for guar
anteed access % Berlin and q
reaffirmation of the Vests &C.
cupation rights. This is not
likely to be acceptable to Mr.
Gromyko.
Mr.. RuSk and Lord Home also
plan to insist that nothing be
done to enhance the status Of
East Germany or otherwise
freeze the partition of Europe
Inspection posts to guard
against surprise attack is con-
sidered the most promising
subject for tomorrow's three
power talks, provided Moscow
does not tie it to other, I'M
acceptable proposals, such as
diSengagement and denucleari-
cation.
France has indicated it may
go along with the inspection
posts. Soviet Premier Nikita 8
KhruShchev said in Moscow In
August, it now develops, that
the posts could be placed in
Russia and the United States
as well as Central Europe-a
point particularly important to
Bonn, which originally feared
the plan might discriminate
against Germany.

saying:
