Last year we definitely could not have had so much success without the help of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, known as the Jaycees. They repaired toys, painted them, and also aided the Good Fellow’s with the delivery of the food and clothing the drive had so successfully completed. If you will recall the contest staged by the students in the Decatur high school last year, the results were astonishing. Cans of food from the students were requested, but when the Gpod Fellows went to pick them up—there were cases on cases. OperatibnCanned Goods’ took fire in the class rooms and the results were astounding. Not only to the club—but to some of the parents of the students who after coming home from an out of town week end trip, literally found that'their cupboards were, bare. But after they understood it was for the ‘Good Feilows’ they too pitched in. Last year was by far the most successful year we have ever had in the history of the club since its organization in 1917. Let’s ask ourselves ‘Why can’t we be Good Fellows this\ year and make this the best year ever for these unfortunate children and their families.’ If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Add.

Government Under God Lesson for December t, 1953 rVEN today there are people who feel that religion and politics don’t mix. The answer to that is, if your politics is the kind that won’t mix with your religion, it’s either the wrong kind of religion or the wrong kind of politics, or both. Just as it is not safe * for a man to try to reserve a part ll&S&a: of his personal ? life, keeping it for himself and away K from God, so it is not right nor safe to reserve I any section social life and suppose that, God Os- Foreman need have nothing to do with it or about it ee e Government When St. Peter tells his friends to be subject to "every . human Institution’* he does not mean that all human institutions are what they ought to be and what God wants them to be. There are no perfect persons; how can there be perfect institutions? The truth is between two extremes. One extreme view says: Institutions, including governments, are what they are by God’s will. and ordinance: therefore we must not criticize them, much less revolt (This is the view of fascism everywhere and always.) The other extreme says: Since no human institution is or can be perfect, let us Christians stick to the one institution of the church, and leave everything else to the realm of sin. But no part of the world, or of human life, can be safely left to the deviL If it is right to try to make a family as nearly Christian as possible, it is right to try to make government as Christian as possible. God’s will is that we should have government (in Lincoln’s great phrase) “under God." That is tq say, government is on the right line when it is in line with the great principles of life God has shown us. Justice and law should go together. All government uses law; but only good government makes just law. Above all human laws is the Law of God. "Under God” means not simply that God’s name is used but that his will is really expressed) in what the government does and plans. • • • The Governor ? All good government centers in some kind of executive. He may be called Prime Minister, or King, or PresidenL The name does not make much difference. But there has to be some responsible head somewhere, some person who has the right to make decisions and to order them carried out This is true all the way down from national to village organization. A government where it is possible to "pass the buck" all around in a circle without any one person’s being held responsible ° r having to make a decision, la a bad government Both in the Old Testament .and in the New, the importance of the right man at the center of things is underscored. Under a good king like David or Hezekiah, the country prospers; under a bad one like Jeroboam or Manasseh the country goes to pieces. Times have not changed much. • •• •' ! V The Governed The great difference between government in the days of Saints Paul and Peter and today. 1 is that in the English-speaking countries. where free Bible Christianity has had fullest sway, we have democracy as our form of government (Thia la not forgetting other countries where the same is true, such as Holland. It Is also not forgetting that tn some countries called democratic, there is nothing of democracy but the name.) Both Paul and Peter, when they wrote of kings and other men of authority, did not picture modern democracy at aIL In the Roman Empire the monarch were dictators; . they were not elected. In our democratic world the governed are also the governors. Power resides no longer in the throne or in the palace; it resides in the people where it belongs. Furthermore, in the modern democratic world, Christian ideals can make themselves felt as they could not in the palace at Rome or Constantinople, in centuries gone by. Everybody who watched Queen Elizabeth's crowning must have been impressed by the fact that it was a religious act, performed in a church by Christian ministers There was only one known survivor when an eruption of Mt. Pelee destroyed the city of St Pierre on Martinique Island on May 8, 1902. More than 30,000 other inhabitants were killed.
