We are hearing and reading about a meeting of minds about the draft. The people taking part are professors and statesmen. Each one offers his ideas, but not one concentrates on why we have no peace on earth. Every yeat the situation gets worse. So we encourage the making of weapons to kill more .and quicker. At the present time the atom bomb threatens to put us all off of this planet,for all time. "I have a solution. Why not see to it that all of these leaders who are dissatisfied fight it out in a ring like the prize fighters do and I can assure you there will be no more ~wars, anywhere. Another comment --The Bible says 'It'came to pass that the King Augustas decreed that every one has to pay taxes. The only change, there is more and more taxes. On the night that the Savior was bojgi his mother was on her way TO pay the taxes. "Professors, statesmen, all of you who have the opportunity to state your thoughts, reverse your thoughts and see what can be done.

Then this wish for a Merry Christmas will be a fact not fiction.

THE CHURCH FOR ALU ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church ii the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For hia children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation.
