Informants at UN said Chou made the offer to allow entry to relatives of the U. S. prisoners after Hammarskjold inquired into the state of the prisoners' health and treatment Chou reportedly told Hammarskjold the captives were well and receiving good treatment. He then proposed that the families of the prisoners come to Red China to see for themselves how the captured airmen and civilians were being treated. Hammarskjold said at his news conference last Friday he had not seen any of the prisoners during his five-day visit to Peiping. Trade in a Goo£ town — Decatu.

Costa Rican Leader Backs Organization Continuing Minor Warfare Opposed (Editor's note: Jose Figueres, president of embattled Costa Rica, believes that the day of mluor wars and barracks revolutions in Central America should be over. In the following article written for International News Service the president declares that respect for international law under the organisation of American states is the only solution to explosive LatinAmerica’s many problems.) Bp President Jose Figueres (Written Expressly for 1.N.8.) SAN JOSE. Costa Rica (INS) — After this unfortunate, battle is over Costa Rica will coniinue to take part in the long-range struggle of the Americas to establish democracy and international law in the world. - We have been attacked by fdrees that President Anastasio Somoza (of Nicaragua) has helped, or totally armed, three times in the past six years. 7^ (Editor's Note — This charge, which President Somoza has denied, is being investigated by a five-nation committee of the Organization of American States. The committee has declared that arms reached rebel forces in Costa Rica across the nation’s northern border.) We havo repelled aggression by force and have always driven the invaders away. We shall continue to defend our sovereignty and territory whenever they may be threatened by outsiders. . However, it is our firm belief thpt the day of miniature wars, revolutions and barracks uprisingsshould be over. We shall not encourage or participate in, any such actions. We shall follow the line of juridicial action that the organization of American states establishes as the only way to solve the problems of the American republics. We have faith in the Democratic political system, in the interAmerican juridical system and in the top authority of the organization of American states.

ments. . There are so many questions we should like to ask him. so many debates in and outside the church that he could settle with a word. This feeling may well have been strong in the minds of Jesus'

personal and closest friends as the shadows were closing around him at the close of his life. Yet Jesus, although aware of* this feeling, tried to make the disciples feel that it was best all around that he should not continue living as he had done for three years among them. Who Is tho Spirit? Entirely aside from the Importance of the Atonement, it was best that Jesus should, as. he put it, “go away.'' Existing as all human beings do in a body, subject "to aR the laws of nature, he could be in only one place at one time. But, once away from this earth physically, he could be present spiritually in ways not limited by space and time. Sometimes he said the Father would “send” the Spirit, sometimes he said he himself would send the Spirit. (Compare Jolm 14:26 with 16:7) By the Spirir men would be linked with Christ and the heavenly Father. As Paul was to write later, out of years of Christian experience. “through him (Christ) we have access in one Spirit to the Father” (Eph. 2:18). So this divine Spirit, wholly God though not the whole of God, is sometimes called the Spirit of Christ and sometimes the Spirit of God. Paul even says once that the Lord “is" the Spirit (II Cor. 3:17) Many theologians of the present day express'll this way: The Holy Spirit is God at work in the lives of men. The Holy Spirit is sent from God, but also the Holy Spirit is God. Theology has devised a great many complicated ways of explaining this — and the truth may be even more complex than theologians think. But the simple and important truth is that wherever the Spirit lives in a human heart, there God lives,—no faint reflection or distant emissary of God but God himself. Tilt Spirit it Us Now there is t question that will naturally come up in the jninds of thoughtful people. Is not God everywhere? How can he come or go? How can he ever be absent from any place or any person if he is infinite? The Bible speaks of the Holy Spirit “coming,” "descending,” being “sent;" also of the Spirit’s being “taken" or "departing.” If the Holy Spirit is God at work in the hearts of men. how can the Holy Spirit go and come? The full answer to such questions only God himself knows. But we can get a glimpse of the truth from what is said in the Bible. (Os course a full study of these deep matters is not for a short column like this.) God is indeed everywhere by his power and his providence. In him we live and move and are. as Paul said. We stick to that. But God has so made man that we can open or close the door even to God. God does not force himself on any man. As friend, as one who transforms life, who brings comfort and purity and power, he comes only where welcomed. It is possible to grieve the Spirit, yes to drive God out Tilt Spirit tor Ut But it Is also possible, a glorious fact, that where the Holy Spirit lives in a human life, that life is transformed Into the very image of the divine Life. The Holy Spirit is the Life-changer. In us—and also for us. One of the most remarkable, one of the most uplifting truths we know about the Spirit is that when we pray, though our prayers are limited by our Ignorance and tainted with our own self-interest, the Holy Spirit prays with us, prays* for us. Over the dull monotone of our stumbling prayers can be beard in heaven the melodic overtones of the Spirit’s pure desires for us. Our noblest aspiration still is short of God’s aspiration for us. This does not mean we can afford to be careless about prayer. It does mean that as we reach up to God we find that he has first been reaching down to us. It is because of the Spirit in us that" we can pray at aIL We cannot understand all of the ways of Qod, but we can trust him. Softness and ease hold no spirituaL stimulus.—W. P. King.

True Fellowship By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Church members need fellowship and need what the fellowship has to offer them. At the same time the fellowship needs what they have to offer. There is no greater error In absenting one’s self from a church service than that of keeping from other members what one has to contribute and what members of the fellowship need. There is ever the danger of organizing a fellowship into a church and losing the value of associations in being gathered together. Man cheats his brother when he falls to share with him his Christian experience. However. the church should be the true fellowship of Christian persons who have been born again and born from above. Her doors are open to any who by attending her services desire to testify by their very presence for God and His marvelous work in and among them. ' Be In your place of worship next Sunday and every Sunday.
