"1 do hope it passes,” Miss Fuller said. 'Til use the extr t cash to paint my house. It’s got to be painted this spring and I'm so afraid I’ll have to dip into savings?* Savings—on social security—how do you do that? > -Well,” said the 79-yearold Miss Fuller who has been collecting benefits since 19-40, “my savings were a little money! put by before I retired (from work.” It was in November, 1939, that Miss Fuller ended 24 years as a secretary In the Ludlow law office of Stickney, Sargent & Chase. Stickney was William W. Stickney, onetime attorney-general under President Calvin Coolidge. His partner, John D. Sargent, was a former governor of Vermont. After retiring. Miss Fuller happened to make a visit to Rutland and decided to file for social security into which she had- been paying for about two years In so doing she became the firsLwoman in "the state to apply and the first in the nation to get a check the following February.

I own my own house and I have tenants in one side that pay rent Then I have a few stocks but goodness knows I get little enough out of them. Why, a lot of the dividends go to pay taxes on the house—about >134 this year.” Miss Fuller, whose longest trip away from Ludlow was about eight months at a Boston business school when she was young, doesn’t like monies, has no telephone and no automobile. She does go for a ride occasionally with her tenants or a niece Church and Red Cross work are her principal outside interests and phe, contributes to both “not very much, of course, but something.” Her budget gets help in the summertime from her vegetable garden that «he tends herself.” ‘IMy life is pretty simple -but pleasant,” she said.

The International Niagara board of control is expected to announbe within a week plans for construction work to be financed jointly iy the . two countries and carried cut by private contractors. A total of 14-million dollars will spent in construction of a 1,500,foot control structure above Goat Island on. the Canadian side of the falls to spread the water more evenly over Canada’s Horseshoe Falls. Control of the water will be carried out through tunnels to be used in connection with a power project. Authorities plan to let 100,000 cubic feet of water a second flow over in daylight' during the tour-, ist season from April to Sept. 15. At night and in winter the flow will be only 50,000 feet. Another 3-million dollars will be spent to dredge the river bottom above Horseshoe Falls to repair two sections which have eroded from the lip of the falls. To accomplish these engineering feats, the contractors will have to divert temporarily the roaring waters of the Niagara River and lay bare the lip of Horseshoe Falls. Then workmen, hanging at the brink of the 160-foot drop; must fill two sections like dental pdvities and treat them to prevent their further cruipbling. Engineers say the project is necessary to-kepe the American falls frdm beebrhing a bone dry cliff in. .years. i If you have something to sell orooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

S«rl*tar<: John J. DevoUsaal R«*4lngi II Corinthians S: 17-31. The New Birth" Lessoo for January 17, 1954

THERE are many doctrines which unite all Christian churches. The doctrine of the New Birth Is one of these. Some churches talk about it all the time. Some do not. but that does not mean they do not believe in It. If you are going to put churches on a black-list because they do not keep talking about the New Birth, you will have to rule out a good many writers in the Bible, because it is seldom mentioned on the pages of Scripture. However, the fact back of the words is there. • • • Not a Command There is a common misunderstanding about the New Birth which is based on a mis-reading

Dr. Foreman

of the English translation of John 3:7, “You must be born anew.” You can hear sermons on this text, preached as if this were a command. an imperative: Go and be born again! As the Greek original plainly shows.

Jesus did not mean this as a command. He was stating it as a necessity. Nothing can be command- ' ed which cannot be willed; and no man can decide to be, or will to be, born again. It is an act of God, not of man. The word “must" In John 3:7 is like the word “must” when you tell a gardener: “In order to raise tomatoes you must have a certain amount of rainfall during the spring." It is like the word ’‘must" used by an art teacher saying to a pupil: “If you want to be an artist, first of all you must have artistic talent" A gardener cannot go out and make it rain. A young man cannot make up his mind to have talent Still, rain is necessary for tomatoes, and talent is necessary for art. In the same way, although the New Birth is necessary to the Christian life, no one can say, “I have decided to be born again," for this is not something we can do ourselves. Not a New Leaf Again, the New Birth is not simply a new start, a new leaf, a new stage in life. Every moment is a fresh start every day turns a new leaf, every week marks a new stage in life. But no matter how much a baby grows, no matter how many times he is weighed, no matter how many changes come as the child grows to boyhood and manhood, that child is born only once. Life has many new leaves, but only one new birth. The New Birth is not even conversion. In conversion the Christian does something; in the New Birth something happens to him. One is perfectly conscious of conversion. in fact it is not possible to be converted unconsciously. But the New Birth is not anything visible, observable at all. it is not even conscious. Let us put it as simply as possible. Take the case of some bad person who is converted. If you say to that person before his conversion. “Be good" (or anything that means that), he will not be good. The big reason why not, is that he does not want, to. If you were to say, “Don’t you even want to be good?" he might well reply, "No I don’t, and what’s more, I don’t even want to want to." But one day or night, perhaps suddenly, perhaps slowly, this man realizes that for the first time he does want to be good. Perhaps he does not go so far at first. All he could say is that he wishes he did want'to be good. If that is the truth about him. then he is already born again. God’s New Life Without this first desire, faint though it may be, no progress can be made. Turning over new leaves in the wrong book never gets you anywhere. God has to put the right book Into your hands. What the New Birth means, is God enabling you to desire what is truly good; in more personal language, it is the touch of the Holy Spirit un your dead and indifferent spirit, waking you so as to desire Him. It is an act of God, not of man. It is not something God does about man, but in man. The Old Testament calls it exchanging a heart of stone for a heart of fiesh. The New Testament sometimes calls it the “New Birth," sometimes “passing from death to lifer” sometimes regeneration. which means the same thing. The New Birth cannot be seen, because it is the beginning of life You cannot see life in the maple trees now, but you will know it is there, one spring day, because you will see the maple buds. So it is in the soul’s springtime. — Florence E. Allen, member of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, is the highest ranking woman jurist in the United States.

Go| [Forth And Serve (By Mrs. James R. Meadows) Now, Christianity is the hope of the world. The churches of this community stand strong for the maintenance of faith in times like these. They are the rocks on which the Christian homes stand. They are the stars that men set their eyes on, the builder of morale in the field, the factory and the home. The church ministers to the sick, sorrowing, lonely, and troubled. Through their friendly service they reach out a helping hand to every man, woman and child in the 'community. ' ** The church stands for reconciliation among nations, and among the groups in our own land. It rtands as a uniting body among peoples throughout the world. Men must be foverned by God or they will be ruled by tryants. Spiritual defenses are enduring. Be in the church of your choice next Sunday.
