the official government weather forecasters
seem to have lost all grip on the subject.
For example, last Friday night we turned on
our TV set to hear Clint Ewell tell us that
Memorial Day would be clear and balmy
over practically the whole nation. And you
don't have to be told what brand of weather
we really received!
And if we are right, that old sayin
Mary Twain's that we talk a lot about the
weather but never do anything about it, is
going to be tossed out the window.
those atomic blasts are causing all of this
rain. the farmers, hereabouts at least, are
going to insist they call the whole thing off
—_until they get the plowing done, at least!
In the meantime, Sam Miller continues to
insist that all this rain is just the result of a
couple of planets getting into juxtaposition
with one another. Hmmm!

We're Confused!
One job we certainly would not have
wanted to perform over the past week-end
was to deliver a Memorial Day address. No,
we weren't asked, but had we been we most
assuredly would not have been too impres-
sive, we're just a bit too confused.
Imagine, if you will, what you would or
could have said in honor of those brave
men and women who have given their lives
in the past two wars. Surely they fought and
died for democracy, for this the greatest of
all nations. Sure, but were those sacrifices
necessary? Or were they the result of bung-
ling by international theorists?
Today we're confused over what Uncle
Sam is doing in the name of preserving dem-
ocracy and a free world. Senator Taft talks
about going it alone without the U.N. But
if you read the casualty estimates from the
most recent Korean push you realize that
we're already going it alone, for we lost
thousands as compared with a few hundred
of all other nations!
We are fighting in Korea as a result of a
crazy treaty in which the country was di-
vided up. For that matter, why must we
have such a serious concern over Korea? |
Germany was divided up by & bunch of dip-
lomats who must have been suffering from |
some mental ailment. We’ll go out on Main |
Street today, pick twenty guys at random |
who can come up with better decisions then
those.
Vet decisions like those may be the cause | you in that line. Can

If you don't see “Pappy” Enck around for
awhile, you'll know his legs played out - - - -
Last Thursday a couple of buddies, look him
to Marietta, and somehow or other Pappy got
away from his buddies and had to walk home
a or at least half way. A qouple of young

The other day a small boy and his mother |
were coming out of Detwiler’s Barber Shop
when the lad looking up town said: “Look |
mommy, here's comes a cowboy!” — |
The child's mother quickly corrected the boy: |
she said “No son, that isn't a cowboy. that's |
Chief Neiss." — — — — — Can you see the
resemblence?”’

Little Jackie wasn't feeling very well so his |
father suggested that he might be coming
down with the chicken pox, which was so pre- |
valent in that neighborhood and sent the boy
to bed. |
The next morning Jackie came down with a
serious look and said, “Guess youTe right,
Pop. I gc chicken pox alright. Look, I found a
feather in the bed”.

Frank Sprout and his wife may have a tu- |
ture on TV. Quite a few here recognized them |
when they showed up on the interviews be- |
tween wrestling matches in Chicago last |
Wednesday night. Wayne Griffith interviewed |
both Frank and his wife regarding their week's |
|
vacation which they spent in the windy city. |

A bartender I know down at Lancaster went |
to the west coast with his wife and applied for
a job at the employmeni agency.
The conversation went like this:
Interviewer: “Have you an occupation?”
Applicant: “Yes, I'm a bartender.”
Interviewer: “Well, we can’t do anything for |

Springhill, La., Press: “James A. Linen,
publisher of Time magazine, speaking to the
national radio audience from the Metropoli-
tan Opera House in National Opera Day,
said: ‘Apparently one of the things we are
going to keep with us in our new world is
music. One of the most important things
that has got to happen if the United States
is to maintain its position of leadership in
the world is for the rest of the world to give
us credit for culture as well as bathtubs.

After Two Decades
Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey has
stated that the federal budget cannot be
balanced in the next fiscal year, despite sub- |
stantial cuts in appropriations. There will
be a deficit, and it probably will be neces-
sary to again increase the legal debt limit.
As the Portland Oregonian said editorially,
“It took two decades to get the government
and the taxpayers into this mess.” We can’t
get out of it overnight. In the meantime, the
‘Administration must be encouraged in its
effort to reduce costs as rapidly as possible
—and the people must have the character
and the resolution to accept and applaud
the fact that the Santa Claus era seems to
be ending. That won't be easy. But it will be
infinitely easier than the national bankrupt-
cy that would inevitably result from con-
tinued unbridled spending.

man stopped them.
He asked Father Bear what his name was. |
and Father Bear said, “‘Shut-up”. He asked
Mother Bear what her name was and she re-
plied, “None-of-Your-Business”’. At this the po-
liceman said, “Are you looking for trouble?”
“Yes,” said ithe two bears. “Which way did
he go?" — — — Anyway, it helps fill this col- |
umn!

| Themselves First
The innumerable people
shared in dedicating their work in
this way to God and his cause,
have simply turned into action and
experience what St. Paul laid
down long ago to the church at
Corinth. The Corinthian Christians
were city people, not country peo-
ple: but they were poor, not rich.
Paul is urging them to give what
they could, as they could; and in
doing so brings out at least four
| principles of right giving.
First and foremost is that the
best givers had first of all given
their own selves to the Lord. The
church has learned long ago that
St. Paul was right. You can't ex-
| pect big contributions or hard
work from those who are still es-
sentially selfish. You have to con-
| vert a man’s heart before you can
convert his money. And even if
| you gave God everything but your-
| self, you would not yet have given
the very thing He wants most
| of all.
* w »
Sharing the honor
| “They simply begged us to ac-
| cept their gifts and so let them
share the honor of supporting their
{ brothers in Christ.” So Phillips
translates II Cor. 8:4. Paul is de-
| scribing the’ way in which the
churches up in Macedonia had
contributed to what we would call
the benevolent funds. Christian giv-
ing is all in the way the giver looks
at it. If it is thought of as a bur-
[ den, ifit is thought of as something
only the wealthy can rightly do, if
| it is thought of as something the
| preacher keeps begging for, a
kind of chore at best, then of
course the giving won't be much. It
will be only enough to keep from
| giving nothing at all. But giving
in the cause of Christ, for the use
and help of God's people, is an op-
portunity, not a chore. There is all
the difference in the world between
the giver who says (in effect),
“Well, , if you must have some-
{ thing...” and the one who says,
“Do let me get in on this.”
* FF
| The Lord Loves
The Bible does not encourage
any one to fancy that he can buy
| his way into God's favor. God's
smile is not for sale. God loves a
cheerful giver, even though He sel-
dom turns away givers of any
sort. A sour and selfish man might
be high-pressure into gloomily
squeezing a few dollars into the
church budget, and these dollars
will do some good; but the Bible
does not suggest that God cares
much for that sort of giving. Giving
till it hurts may be good; but
giving till it doesn’t hurt is better!
We remember Jesus’ comment on
| the offering of the wealthy Phari-
sees and the paor widow. Is there
any one who can think God loved
her and them alike?
*
and |
Carrying Through
So there are three principles of
| Christian giving: personal dedica-
| tion, a sense of privilege in shar-
| ing God's work, and enthusiasm.
| As Paul puts it (again Phillip’s
| translation): “Show that you can
complete what you set out to do with
| as much efficiency as you showed
readiness to begin.”” (II Cor, 8:11.)
| A good Lord's Acre project calls
springtime. It has ,to have hard
work most of the summer. The
| work of the church,
of mankind, is best carried on
not by those who blow all their
| save up some steam for the long
steady pull. Long mileage’is worth
more than a flashy start. >
