DEMAND PROBE (Continued fromTage One) ers when they assemble for their . 1955 session on Jan. 6. ; The letter added: > ‘‘This request is made because . citizens of both parties throughout i the state have expressed a serious ; concern over the very questionable . manner in which the toll road fii nances have been handled. i “We believe that this is a matI ter which must be presented in full at the earliest possible time to the elected representatives of the people meeting in the general assembly before further damage is done to the reputation of Indiana and the rights end wishes of its citizens.” DULLES SPEAKS (Con ’Inued from Page On.) first three points on their agenda and plunged into a restricted session on the controversial issue of the use of atomic weapons for European defense. The ministers adopted in rapid succession three reports on the activities of the NATO secretariat, trends of Soviet policy and military progress made during 1954. Then, all but, the chief and three other members of each delegation left the conference in the Palais de Chaillot to take up the controversial question of control over the use of tactical atomic weapons in the event of Soviet aggression. The western Big Three were reported to have agreed in principle to let the NATO generals base their defense plan on the assumption that the nuclear weapons would be used in the event of a new war. But the U.S., Britain and France were said to have decided to postpone the decision as to who, the military or the political leaders, would make the decision to retaliate against attack with the atomic weapons. Some of the smaller European nations were believed pressing for a definite decision that political consultation be held before employing the nuclear super-weapons. r Will YOM ) BRUSH DEALER g Pbill SHADY Route 2, Decatur ■ iCraigville Ph. 3 on 20 |. <

Music of Christmas Lesson for December 19, 1954 OTHER festival of the year is so full of music and of song as the festival of Christmas, Like all good and beautiful things, this i too can be made a weariness to heart and mind. When we have to listen to some “popular” Christ-

J mas song, ham- ■ mered out by some songsmith on Broadway who knows more about rhythm than reli- , gion. over the radio for six weeks on end; or when a loudspeaker on the . courthouse square

with its tireless Dr. Foreman electronic throat keeps battering the ears of Christmas shoppers with “Silent Night,” we wish the night were silent. We almost wish the angels had not set such*an example. Mutio of PralM But it was not this nor any of this that the angels meant when they sang their Gloria. The right music of Christmas is the music of praise, of glory to God. It is not a thing to fill up time on a disc-jockey’s program, not something to be produced by a machine. It is music of praise, for the heart, from the heart On a lonely road in the countryside there is a tiny lighted church. On a noisy boulevard in a distant, grimy city there is a great church, its rose-windows gleaming. In both of these there is singing tonight To the passerby in mud or on the pavement it may seem that these people sing alone. The frozen world around the country church makes no sign; there in the jangling city street there is no echo of the Hallelujah chorus in the great sanctuary. Nature and man seem out of tune with the Christmas music. But to the listening ear, the hearing heart, come many I other voices. Music of Creation The poet-prophet of the 148th Psalm — one might almost think he had written these lines for a Christmas hymn — heard these voices. Like a descant which above the music of a a new beauty, so these other voices, which only a poet’s ear can hear, add to the chorus of glory to God. With him we hear all God’s ahgels, we hear the stars of light. This tiny planet carries many voices, but God’s creation is vast. In realms of bliss pure spirits unsullied by sin sing their “Glory to God”; and throughout our universe, where some can perceive only the frightening spaces between the stars, where others can see only sightless flames endlessly whirling, the poet hears the morning stars singing together,--praising God by being what they are, witnessing to the majesty of his creation. And on this little plhnet too are songs unheard by man: “fruitful treps and all cedars; beasts and all cattle . . Where Christ has come, truly come, and men have not . cast him out, all living things have “reason to praise God. Music for All Mon The music of Christmas is for all. It is for ’’kings of the earth” —the men of power and place. Wherever there is a land that can be called Christian, It is known that there is one King of kings, one Lord of lords. When Queen Elizabeth was crowned, it was by the Church of Christ and in the name of Christ. When President Eisenhower was inaugurated, his first public act wSs a personal prayer. There are no human beings too highly placed to need God; none so busy and important they have no time to praise him. “Old men and children” too are summoned to join the chorus. Old men, sitting by the fire or in the sun. old men done with life; children playing in the sun or by the fire, children who do not yet know what life means; old men and children, who have to be cared for, who make no decisions for other people—the small and the insignificant, all those on the outer fringes of life, let these too join in praise. For God came down that first Christmas night not tn silence but to the music of a great Singing. And when God broke the news for which man long had waited, the news men are still slow to hear, slow to believe, the news of Immanuel, the news that God is with us—this did not come as a whisper tn the void. It came on the wings of a mighty song, borne by' the voice of stars and angels—made known first not to the kings of the earth but to humble shepherds of whom none but God had ever Christmas rejuvenates those whose minds are open to receive Christ. Ood meaqt that we should be a Joyful people and for that reason Jesus was born.

Please have copy in this office by 2 p.m. Dec. 22. Freedom Os Worship By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Yes, freedom of worship is a blessing which we enjoy in our beloved nation. To attend the church of one's choice on the Lord's Day is indeed something for which to be grateful. Are we? What does it mean to us? Have we made it freedom from worship rather than freedom of worship? The way to lose a thing is usually by not using it. Let us make the most of this right and privilege which is ours. As we are approaching our Christ’s birthday let us resolve that from now on we are going to do our very best to be in our place of worship next Sunday and every Sunday. Let us exercise this wonderful freedom, praying and trusting that God will save our beloved nation from losing this freedom.
