The river is expected to crest at Lafayette at 18 feet by noon Saturday which is seven feet above flood stage. i- -—-rThis morning Lafayette reported that the Wabash was five feet above flood level, but that no major damage is expected from the overflow. The, Wabash river crest this morning had reached the city of Wabash, and by late Sunday is expected to be down to Covington, where a peak of four to five feet above flood stage is forecast. Generally fair weather was the outlook over the week end except along the Ohio river, where there may be some snow or rain Saturday night or Sunday.

sermon about the Living God, or about the Holy Spirit, or about Christ, and hardly be able to tell what the denomination of the minister is, from the sermon. Various Churches have written creeds.

which are their official interpretation of Scripture. But since these lessons to come are concerned with the Bible rather than with formal creeds, this column will not set forth the special views, if any, of particular churches, but will rather try to point out some of the truths which we all hold in common, and which we derive from the revelation we find in the Scripture. The Living God The Bible nowhere tries to prove that God exists. If I were talking to you or writing you a letter I would not waste time trying to tell you that I am a real person. So the Word of God simply assumes that God IS. But that is not nearly enough for a vital faith. Suppose God just IS, like the law of gravitation or the binomial theorem in algebra—quite real but completely blind and uncaring? Suppose he just IS, like the other side of the moon, always there but never to be seen?- Suppose God IS. like a block of granite which can be Worked on but never does any work? No—by ho means! The God of the Bible is the Living God, one who does things. Read for example the first book in the Bible, Genesis. Who 13 the principal character? Not Adam, not Noah, not Abraham or Joseph, but God. The story of the Bible is the story of the “mighty acts of G<ml.” Only the living God can help living men. God Is hMt The Greek of John 4:24 can be translated just as correctly “God is Spirit’’ as “God is a Spirit,” and scholars mostly believe the first translation better conveys the meaning. This does not mean you can turn the sentence around and say “Spirit is God.” You are spirit, but you are not God. The great dividing line in existence is not between spirit and matter. It is between the one, the only. Creator - Spirit. God on the one side; and created-spirit and ere-ated-matter, on the other side. As Creator-Spirit, we can be sure of some facts about God. One is that he is not and does not have a physical body. If he had a body he would (like all bodies) have to be in only one place at one time. If he had a body he would be limited by his body as we all are. But being Spirit he can be. and is, everywhere. Because he is Spirit, Paul can say he is not far from each one of us ... in him we live and move and are. God Is Father The Old Testament tells us much about God, but the New Testament tells us more. It is only rarely that God is called “Father” in the Qld Testament, but in the New. we'find Jesus using the word "Father” about God more than any other one word. There is a sense in which God is Father of all men—a more intimate sense in which God is Father of Christ and of Christians. Consider the words which would have been just as easy to use in beginning the Lord’s Prayer: O creator ...O' Lord Most High . . . Almighty God . . . King of Kings . . Judge of all the earth . . . But Jesus passes by all those and teaches us to say simply “Our Father” when we speak to the Almighty. Tkfi Fsthsr and 1 Ara Ong Most important, most distinctively Christian, of an truths that we learn about God in the Bible, is summed up in Jesus’ words: “The father and I are one.” The original Greek shows that J etui did not mean to say he and his Father are one person, one individual; but he did mean to say that if we want to see God we must look into the face and into the mind and heart of Jesus. As Paul later said, we see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ Christians who have given great thought to these things are agreed that any idea of God, any notion we may have about him. must be brought to the test of Jesus Christ The least we can say la that God is Christ-like. Try to help; try not to hurt. One man’s frown makes another man frown. Every Christian must exercise

Knowland Favors Pact On Formosa Full Support Given By Senate Leader WASHINGTON (INS) —Senate GOP leader William F. Knowland, frequently at odds with President Eisenhower on Asiatic policy, gave his full support today to the Formosan security pacjt. The Californian not only said that" be personally approved the treayt but he also predicted the senate will ratify it. Mr. Elsenhower in a special message Thursday asked the senate to approve the alliance with Chiang Kai-shek for the mutual defense of Formosa, island home of the anti-Communist China regime. Some senators who support the paet asdi privately they have heard rumblings that could develop into opposition to the treaty. However, they said the disagreement has come from .persons outside congress and, they added, the most that may develop might be a full-dress floor debate on the Far East situation. - y Sen. Walter F. George (D Ga„) who is to take over as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, conferred with secretary of state John Foster Dulles Thursday. George said he suggested to Dulles that the committee take up the Southeast Asia mutual defense treaty first, then the Formosan pact and, lastly, the Paris agreerrJantf for the rearmament of Western Germany.

Happy Childhood Days By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Fragrant, memories of childhood include familiar hymns, helpful verses, and stirring Bible stories. Lessons learned then have never left even those who have wandered far. Parents should sit down regularly with their children and teach them the principles of righteousness, honesty and fair play. Instructions in religion is needed in the home aa well as in the church. Unless you take your children to Sunday School they may not learn the truths your mother taught you. Give your boys and girls the best start in life. Take them to church and Sunday School. Lessons learned in youth will never leave them. Sunday Schools in every community are training young people, and older ones too. in ways of righteousness. Boys who go to Sunday School seldom go wrong.
