ROTARIANS SPONSOR (C«itl»»ri from Pnmr Owe) the average Russian student is thinking. Both democracies and distatorships have bungled in the last twenty years, he said, but he believed that the Russians since the “Summit Conference” have been most successful in their diplomacy. The apparent friendliness of Russian leadership has won the Soviet government more friends over the world than all the terror of the late Stalin accomplished, he said. He said that mistakes and the mutual mistrust of America, England and France during the Suez canal crisis and immediately preceding it, lost the democracies the advantage of condemning the Russians for their invasion of Hungary and could have changed 20 years of history. He closed by urging that America sell its ideals, not its gadgets, to the world and prove to the more than a billion people who live on less than SSO per capita per year that they can increase their standards of living and at the same time, jgtayv Jheir freedom. In this field. America can historically assume world leadership. Roy Kalver was program chairman of the meeting.

Teen-Age Romance Hinges On Talks Swedish Girl And Page Boy Returned WASHINGTON <UP>-The future of the troubled teen-age romance between a Swedish diplomat's daughter and her handsome Capitol page boy hinged today on the outcome of a mother-and-daughter talk. Pretty 16-year-old Christina Wennerstrom and 18-year-old Huw Williams were back with their mothers again after a two-week Canadian "honeymoon” without benefit of clergy. Police had ] searched for them in 13 states. Christina returned from the | arms of her sweetheart to the i arms of her mother Thursday after the runaway teenagers were , arrested on a speeding charge near Williamsport, Pa. Christina I carried a huge teddy bear. < Both Christina and Huw wore ! wedding bands, but finally admiti ted they were not married. They said a county clerk in Charles Town, W. Va., refused to give them a marriage license because they were too young. Swedish press attache Hugo Lindgren told newsmen the future of Christina’s “relationship with the boy will be left up to Christina and the American authorities after she has talked it all out with her mother.” However, Lindgren said he believed Christina would agree to return to Sweden for the present and continue her romance with Huw by mail. Her father, who strongly opposed hec marriage to Huw because of their age, already has returned to Sweden for assignment.Two Youths Drowned In Illinois Thursday QUINCY, 111. OJP> — Two youths drowned Thursday in separate Adams county accidents. Richard Graham. 19, drowned in the Mississippi River near here while swimming with five companions. His friends said that the owner of a boat on shore refused to let them use it to attempt a rescue. Karen Putnam,, 15, drowned while swimming in a farm pond a half-mile south of Clayton. $1,500 DOCTOR BILL (CmlliufJ turn Pane Oae) I’ve given the service and the fact that I rendered the bill should not be surprising It was a personal sacrifice to me and I don’t see why this ehauldr&e baUyhooed all over the country.” No Hospital Bill Kris was cjtUed by police during the early moments of the rescue attempt. He remained beside the backyard well throughout the rescue and tended during a subsequent week in the hospital. Dr. Frank Calabro, head of Bayview Hospital, where Kris practices, said Benny's care there was on the house —"There’s no question of any bill from us.” One problem arising from the accident and rescue was immediately apparent—the complete destruction of the Hooper garden by the feet of the rescuers and the tires of their trucks. Mrs. Hooper said fixing up the garden and yard was the least of their worries—“We hid* to do it, and next year when we have time and money, we'll put it in again.”

This point has bothered some readers of the Bible, for in the New Testament it is made plain that God is love, but in the Old Testament very little is said about this. —Or so it used to be thought. Now that we have the Revised Stand-

ard Version, we can see that the Old Testament likewise speaks often of God's “steadfast love,”, an expression translating a Hebrew word which used to be translated “mercy” or “grace.” God's

steadfast love is the root end reason of his mercy and his graced Happy Endings? “If God were all-powerful hp could keep, evil from happening; and if he were all-loving 1 e would not let it happen. But evil happens, so there cannot be a god.” So runs an old objection to religion. But it never bothered the writers of the Bible. Their faith was of a atouter sort. Some people cannot believe in God unless he writes, so to speak, a happy ending for every one’s story. Now the Hebrew people loved stories with happy endings, and perhaps Joseph’s is such a story. In one way It has a happy ending,—Joseph the slave-boy becomes the Grand Vizier, of Egypt. Joseph, the boy, his brothers were going to murder, becomes their unknown benefactor. And yet—in its setting it is not quite happy. The same book of Genesis which begins with “In thd beginning, God— ** ends with the stark expression, “In a coffin in Egypt.” Not very hopeful! Further, when you think of all the other stories tied in with that of Joseph, you will admit that not all the threads of this story gCf'l tied off in bow-knots oT ! happy endings. What became of Potiphar's wife? the MidianiUfc. slave-traders? the baker who made a dinner for the birds? the free Egyptian people who became slaves of the king? Not all truelife stories end just as we might wish. Sin and Freedom It can be said that the.stories of good people come out well and the stories of bad people come out badly. There is some truth in that. There is this much truth at any rate: God has never yet abolished sin, and he permits sin’s effects to continue to be terrible. The only way to abolish sin outright would •be to destroy freedom; for sin is simply man's misuse of the freedom God has given him. God could, no doubt, have made the human race so that they could be wound up like clocks to run right n& matter what. But he made men, not machines. And the tragic fact of sin Is a fact. Thus every man’s story is spoiled more'or less. Indeed there are no perfect stories. God is God of love; but he is not the kind of God who would force all men to do right, regardless; nor is he the kind of God who will -see to it that no matter what a man does, he is bound to be happy ever after. It ts not only that men are affected by the results of their own sins. Worse than this are the Injustices, the tragedies, caused for the innocent by the sins of others. * But God Remembers (f’fleyertheless, God does not forget. He is not careless nor powerless. Among thfi many truths which ■ the story of Joseph suggests is the doctrine called Providence. Put into simple words, this means that God thinks of things beforehand. In ways we do not understand, for it is his doing and not ours, God works, both in spite of and because of the worst that sinful men can do, works to bring good out of eviL Joseph’s brothers and Potiphar’s wife were sinners; yet God used their sins, in his providence, to bring good into the lives of countless people. Two questions not cleared up in the Old Testament have more light cast on them by the New: Will evil and good go on side by side forever? The story of Joseph does not look so far ahead. The New Testament shows clearly, No; God will one day make a final separation of good from eviL And then what about those good persons whose lives end in tragedy? The New Testament reminds us that we never see the real end of any one's story In this world; coffins —in Egypt or elsewhere — end chapters, but no coffin ends a Last Chapter!

Supporting The Church Rev. J. R. Meadows The church needs money to carry on its work just as any other enterprise or organization needs it. That is the fact to be to be faced honestly and straightforwardly and without any apologies or explanations Or coverings up. .Perhaps we have been too much given to these. If we have 1 been it is time mat we repented and changed our ways. How much money the church should have for carrying on its work, and how much of it you and I should contribute, are questions not always easy to answer, but questions to be faced frankly and honestly and intelligently.

The presumption is, of course, that we should be ready to carry our share of the financial re* soonsibility that the existence of the church would sem to lay upon those who believe In it. No one has a right to undertake to tell us what that share is, and perhaps we may have a real difficulty in deciding the question for ourselves, but knowing ourselves vs we do, we might almost safely conclude that there is not any danger that we would greatly overestimate the amount of that responsibility. Perhaps we might underestimate it. At any rate it would seem reasonable that we take a good square look at the matter and try to be perfectly frank about it. What would oit community be like without a church?
