Murderers Sought In Indiana Deaths Balistics Tests Taken Os Bullets INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Ballistics tests taken of bullets which killed two southern Indiana women and a man during the past four months indicated that two different murderers are sought. A laboratory test on the bullet which killed Mrs. Wilhelmina Sailer, 47, of near Solitude, Monday, showed it was fired from a Smith & Wesson or similar type gun with an opposite twist and different grooving than the gun which killed two Evansville persons in December. The Evansville slayings of Mrs. Mary Holland and Wesley Kenin two separate crimes were committed with a Colt or a gun which

imitates a Colt, the tests disclosed. State and Indianapolis police already had expressed doubts that there was any connection between the Sailer, Holland and Kerr murders and the brutal attack on an Indianapolis woman, Mrs. Elisabeth Kroets, also on Monday. Mrs. Kroets was beaten with a skillet and rolling pin, and .tabbed with a screw driver. Local and state police and the FBI are checking fingerprints found in the Sailer and Kroets homes in hopes of uncovering the identities of the attackers in these two crimes. “Don’t Read Thia” the ads always say, but we all do—so follow through and attend the Public Auction of the J.

Oldest Bible Now In . «’ t * Library Os Congress Police Protection From Bank To Library WASHINGTON (INS) —The oldest copy of the New Testiment known to man, written in the language spoken by Jesus Christ himself, was carried under police protection today from a downtown Washington bank vault to the library of congress. The holy book, which is known as the Yonan Codex, was insured for one and one-half million dollars during its trip, which included a stop at the White House so President Elsenhower could see the priceless document. Mr. Eisenhower thumbed through the yellowed pages and asked several questions about the ancient document, which was shown to him by Dr. William B. Adams, president of the Aramaic Bible Foundation. On April 6, the Codex will go on ipubUo display in the library’s great hall, where a special exhibition case has been built to preserve its 227 leaves of vellum manuscript, estimated to be at least 1,600 years old. A private detective agency guarded the Codex on its journey of about one mile through Washington streets. City police provided a motorcycle escort. The- bible is owned by Norman Yonan, direct descendant of a member of one of the earliest Christian sects. It came into his possession about 1930, and has lain in bank vaults since then. Now, the Aramaic Bible Foundation, which takes its name from the almost-dead language In which the Codex is written, has persuaded Yonan to put it on public display.

About 70 percent of the victims are young people ranging from the ages of 6 through 19.

The Living World Lesson for March 37, 1353 IT SHOULDN’T seem stegvlai that we are all born plural. We can’t be born at all without ths consent of two people we never saw before, and we can’t be legally born without the consent of a great many more. We live in a world of people, by the help of many people. We cannot achieve

health, wealth or happiness all by ourselves. And when we die the reason why we are not missed very long is that there are so many other people ready to take our place. Now the Christian like all other men

lives in a world of mfih. His religion ought to give him some clue, at least, as to how he should live in this human world, this Immense complex wheels-within-wheels thing we call Society. Is th, right Christian thing to do to run away from the world and hide? Hermits have tried it. Is it the right Christian thing to do to adopt the slogan, “If you can't lick ’em, jlne 'em”? Shall Chris tians just accept the world and its ways? Worldly “Christians’' have tried that Salt and Light But neither the Christian hermit nor the “worldly Christian” has helped the world. The world .is no better for either of them, and on the other hand both hermit and worldling have ended by being no better than a caricature of a true Christian. The Christian's relation to the world around him . . . wait just a minute. We are going too fast, aren’t we? “The world”—what do we mean by that? For the purposes of these present thoughts, the “world” means all the realms and ramifications of such variegaterf human arrangements as sports, politics education, business, industry, ag riealture. Internationa' affairs; t) buu:an ♦nstiwttous and re’.»‘ ->> ships on a large scale or small. The here means human beings, not in separate capsules but tied in innumerable ways to one another, affecting one another, inseparable from birth to death. The Christian’s relation to this world is not like that of a pin stuck into a pin-cushion. The world Is not merely the place where he has to be. Jesus put it into those two little thumb-nail parables of be different, to be separate; but not as a pin is different from its cushion. The pin does nothing whatever for the cushion; but salt and light do something, something valuable-and needed, to whatever it is with which they make contact. Christians are expected to apply themselves and their Christianity to every relationship of life—that’s a dull way to put it, ' but doing it is never dull.' Love Is Concern Jesus and Paul both made it clear that the one law of life that sums up all other laws is Love. Not romantic love, not sloppy slippery sentimentality, but genuine heart-concern, intelligent concern, for the welfare of others. We all know that this is the law that transforms family life from a kind of jungle, or a cage at best, into something very close to heaven. We haven’t all discovered that this is the law that can transform public life, yes, politics, business, all the rest of it. It’s harder to do out there because the larger the circles the less co-operation you are going to find. Nevertheless, it is a fact that civilizations, nations, businesses, that have learned something from the Christian Gospel are better for the people that live there and work there than where Christianity has never had a chance. Yet ours is still a pagan civilization. When a manufacturer writes that the principle of his business has always been to make money for the stockholders, he has not got hold of the Christian idea. When an industrialist says that his business is making citizens and he is using a cotton mill for that purpose, he has got hold of the Christian idea. To tho End of Timo But suppose the H-bomb gets us all? Suppose, for lack of enough strength Christians, the hate-aIL grab-all way of the world has brought us to the edge of doom, what can Christians do? Sit down and wait for the end? The Apostle Peter did not think so. Neither did any other early Christian leader. They felt themselves In a world on fire—and indeed so it was. Santiago — Punta .Arenas in Chile Is said to be the farthest south of any city In the world. About one-quarter of Chila’s domain is in islands off the coast.'

"Church Going" By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Church going and the worship of God every Sunday in His church ’ are obligations not only to God, but more directly obligations we ■ owe tq _one another. The public • worship of the congregation is helped or hindered in the measure in which each of us contribute to the creation of an atmosphere from Sunday to Sunday surcharged with love and loyalty, devotion • and inspiration. The brethren are dependant upon us for this atmosphere,' the clergyman is helpless without it, and is shorn of a great deal of his power without the loyal witness of the members of the ehurch to the reality of the truth . he proclaims. Attend your church next Sunday with a prayer that you may ■ be able to render real service to your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
