Editorially Speaking
HE WHO RIDES A TIGER
“He who rides a tiger cannot dismount.”
None of us like the situation in Vietnam, but we are
there, and we cannot leave, with or without honor. |
We still have men in Korea. We have men in Ger-
many. We have men scattered about the globe. :
Whether we like it or not, whether we’ approve or
not, we are committed.
No longer can we wrap the security of our two oceans
about us and dream of being left undisturbed to enjoy our’
prosperity and our abundant harvests.
We have commitments to the people of the world.
At heart, we are all isolationists. A We want to be
left alone to enjoy what the Top Brass is fond of calling
The Great Society.
We resent the millions of dollars bursting over
battlefields in the form of missiles tagged for destruction
of military objectives, and all too often wiping out whole
villages.
We wish we could call the whole thing off.
We wish there was no such thing as war.
We wish that leaders could bring themselves to sit
down quietly together at a table and compare goals.
But the Millenium is: far away, .and no amount of
wishful thinking is going to hasten its coming.
We are stuck with a” war that nobody wants and
that nobody ‘can win.
We are fighting it on foreign soil instead of in Sweet
Valley, or Harveys Lake, or Dallas.
We could easily be fighting it in our own villages,
with bombs tearing up our roadways, and strange looking
soldiers trying to comfort our homeless children in be-
tween more bombings.
Never, since the War Between the States, hpve vn
fought a war on our own soil.
We have no conception of what war really means.
For our own fine young men, when they come home,
will return, not to ruined villages and devastation, but to

Letter to- the: Editor: 3
In last week's Dallas Post a ques-
tion was asked ‘in regard to the
cancellation of church worship ‘serv-
ices on Sunday, January 30. I can-
celled services after talking with
some of the church leaders from
| ‘each of the three churches. I then
notified the local radio stations of
my decision. Many of the church
members, indicated that it was
impossible for them to make it to
church because of the snow drifts.
I did not want to risk the lives of
my church members by having
| them venture on to the highways,
or endanger the lives of others by
needless driving.
The third reason was that I must
travel a long distance between my
three churches. 1 did not want
individuals: to venture to church
only to find: that there would be
no service because their pastor was
stuck in the snow somewhere be-
tween the parsonage and their
church.
I must think of the welfare of
all my people. It is necessary for
man to risk his life for his God
and his faith, but not carelessly.
I hope that the reasoning of one
minister will shed some light upon
the question that has been raised.
Sincerely yours,
Howard E. Hockenbury

is the fact that customers of those |

the ‘merchants, whose business is

doesn’t make anybody any money.
