William Jenner, who wanted the GOP gubernatorial nomination. They even hooked him up Mth former Dragon Lyons 4 ftd were successful jn thwarting ;iis ambition to run for governor. A few of these newspapers are ;how setting him up as a “statesitian" and favorably write of reefection as United States senator.

The Jwrowers will return the money with low interest charges after their | graduation from college. Helping eight boys and girls to college win probably not solve the problem of all the deserving students in the town who may need such aid. But it is a and it indicates that communities are beginning to see that "education of future citizens and •leaders is a sound - nvestment in education o< the yjMjng is always practical as well as iijeal. _ -- o o On Our Backs:— President’s foreign aid prot gram is so huge that few can | grasp its significance or under- ’ ztadd its functions.

He spends little i time bemoaning his fait from such an exalted position because! he says that in this country he enjoys freedom and security for the first time in years. Wlftn Hitler | Invaded Austria, he was forced ■|i into military service. When the Russians came he fled with his' |j family through Europe, IHe came to this country in 1951 and will seek American citizenship. No matter what posripn a man j! holds in the social scale in America he is infinitely better off than p those of high office iq countries where freedom does not exist. Here everybody has diignity and respect and in most cases a standard of jiving that would be considered luxury by Europeans, 'll Most important of all he is free, free to keep his job or leave it, free to-worship where qud how be pleases, free to express bis opinions, and free from; fear. The knock at his door is that of a 3il s : ‘ friend, the postman, or! the news- |l 1 L iH ’ ■ paper boy, never that ol the police to take him to prison jfqr saying out loud that the government could be improved. He likes It 1 here. I ■ • I : bis 0 o—Tax Limitation:— How do you stand on the prpposed constitutional ’'Amendment; limiting the income tax in peacetime to 25 per cent? ' I ■ i : A drive to get this amendment into the Constitution has been under way for some time, taking the form of a petition by the L' states that congress cull a constir |l tutional convention. This coaveb- ’ tion would be supposed to subnift ■ { the amendment to the states far ratification or rejection/ Attractive at first sight, the proposed limitation is meaningless to the average taxpayer. He will continue to pay at least as much . as he dots now, because thgt is under 25 per cent. Th© treasury department estimates that the proposal would cut revenues by 316.000,000,000. Buch a sum could never be made up by all (the economy in the world. The money lost " would have to be raised Other taxes would have to be introduced, including possibly ; a federal sales tax, which would hit those of moderate mean* remorselessly. If these devices do» not raise what is needed, there will be nothing left but borrowing, which will require payment with interest later, or depreciation ; of the currency. In one way or another, the ordinary citizen will find the tax limitation proopsal a blow to his pocketbook. ! i 6l| I t Il ; —I IJ.; 41, . .i; ..AIL

Balance Sheet Lesson for March 9, 1952 IT is not every man who at the close of his life can look back and say that life has brought him more than it took away. Death, or the approach , o t I

death, is a reminder it is time to bal ance 6ti r books There was a man named Paul sitting in a Roman prison. He was to be tried on a capital charge, and there was no certainty that he. would be acquitted.

Yet if the Romans had only known it, that solitary prisoner, whose very food was provided by the charity of friends, was the happiest man in Rome. He looked back over bis eventual life and in a letter to his friends, while admitting that he had lost much, counted everything well lost in comparison to what he had gained. The balance sheet of Paul’s life showed no deficit, but an enormous balance on the credit side. ‘ • • • Losses Written Off jQAUL gave several thumbnail au f * tobiographles, some of which are included in the Scripture readt, ings for this week. So ve know pretty well what he had to give up. What would strike most of us today is his loss of comfort and security. Modern Americans want above all to be comfortable and secure.. Probably Paul missed comfort and security 4*| much as any man, ft he was born to both. But as an “ambassador of Christ” he had had to give all this up. J He had long since exhausted whatever money he mpy have had; he had to work at hard manual labor to support himself; he was a constant traveler, which iy those days did not mean Cadillac cars, Pullmans or even foam-rubber bus seals; it meant dirt and fleas and bad food and seasickness and I wrecks (we know of four he hadi; it meant sometimes being halfstarved, sometimes robbed and always in danger of armed robbery, •• • : His Worst Losses? BUT there was wprs®. A wise man does not If count hardships his heaviest losses. To lose freedom is more serious. And Paul (;when he wrote to the. Philippians) had been under arrest for | more than four years. He had bepn jailed at Jerusalem first, then for two years , in Caesarea, then a journey in chains to Rome, and then in Rome for we don’t know just how long. Paul was just the temperament that feels imprisonment most keenly. Active, vigorous, always on the go, the four walls of a cell or even the four walls of a bouse must have galled him a terribly. But perhaps worst of an iras loss of standing in his I home community. He was born both a Jew and a Roman (as a Jew today may be a good American or a good Frenchman too); but tfie Jews looked on him as a traitor to his race, a man not fit to Hye; while the Romans i regarded him as a crack-pot at best, a subversive agitator at worst. Whatever advantages Paul had had at birth or by education, he had definitely lost long before the end. Credit Balance YET Paul, in writing |up\ the balance sheet of his life, calls everything he had lost so much trash, in comparison with what he had gained. To his mind it was like losing a truck-load of ashes and finding one diamond. We ourselves, not being, alas! saints, if we had fixed up his balance sheet, would have put Some items on the credit side that he docs not mentibn. After all, he .vas then and still is Christendom’s first citizen. For many of us, and all of us caU him* Saint, which means he belongs to God’s aristocracy. You can at- |i ford to lose a 1 good deal for (hat; I He was also, and still is, cTbse to the | top, if not at thq tbp, of the list of the most influential men in the world’s history, aside fiyam Christ ! himself. He is this, because almost half the books in the New Testament were written by him. Yet he I does not say, speaking of his life’s , hardships, “I count these things ps nothing in comparison with my poU- ' tion as leader . . . the fact of my sainthood . . . my contribution to i the Bible.” We know what his life-ambitions 1 were: “to testify’the good news ol the graCe of “to gain Chrljt —to know share the pow#r of his resurrection, the fellowship of his suffering"; and “by all means to win some.” These things he did; these things ho hardships and no eneimei] could keep him from doing. With these things on life’s credit s de, the. deci’ ■ ucre trifling. ■ i ' ' .
