! slump. ( I The anti-recession program, which has the backing of the President as well as the auto i manufacturers, is reportedly the brainchild of two car dealers in I Cleveland. The promotion cam-1 •paign in that city between Feb. j j 24 and March 1 is credited withl boosting car sales above the like! period a year ago. | However, the sales offensive | will be put to its real test today when dealers in this area kick off thiMr drive at a rally in Madison (Square Garden. The rally, which will be attended by thousands of car dealers, salesmen, bankers and business executives, is being sponsored by the Automobile Merchant Assn. lof New York, Inc. The “grass(roots” drive will run from April , 125 through May 10. I Auto sales currently are runI ning about 36 per cent behind the I pace a year ago. in the New York metropolitan area. "Much more is at stake in this program than bolstering local sales,’* Kenneth Wellner, president of the AMA, said. “One out of seven workers in the U.S is dependent upon the automotive business for all or part of his inI come.” Newspaper editors at the American Newspaper Publishers Assn.

Tornado Rips | Small Hamlet In Mississippi At Least Five Homes Are Destroyed By Storm Last Night By UNITED PRESg A tornado a tiny Mississippi hamlet Thursday night destroying at least, five homes. , Several homes also were dam-1 aged near the community of Nitta i Yuma, 10 miles north of Rolling ( Fork, Miss., in the wake of the! twister and hail-studded thunderstorms. Authorities said, the ocCu I pants of the homes, all Negroes, were uninjured. In another near-tragedy caused by weather Thursday night, a helicopter rescued an injured■ woman from the wreckage of a light plane in the wilds of Oregon. : For three days, Mrs. Patricia., Davis, 35, had been stranded dur-; ing sub-freezing weather and heavy snows while her husband battled snowdrifts to bring back help. Mrs. Davis’ condition was reported as goodBlustery weather Thursday was marked by 50-mile-an-hour gusts which damaged porches in Pittsburgh, ripped down wires and trees, and by occasional tornado sightings. Other than the twister which hit Nitta Yuma, however, no funnels touched ground. The U.S. Weather Bureau reported that locally high winds and hail lashed across the lower Midwest Thursday night. Heavy thundershowers deposited about an inrti of rain in parts of northern Alabama. Scattered showers and snow flurries extended from the Pacific . Northwest into parts of Colorado land Wyoming, but no appreciable I amounts fell. There also were several light flurries in the Great Lakes region.' Temperatures from ! Mexico to Canada were 15 to 25 I degrees lower than a day ago in j the Midwest. Bethlehem May Not Build Midwest Plant •••, • ' ■ Drop Construction If Merger Blocked NEW YORK (W —• Bethlehem Steel Corp, will not build an integreated steel plant in the Midwest if its merger with Youngstown - Sheet & Tube Co. is blocked, ac-1 cording to a top company ! man. Charles 11 H Weikel. a market- I ing expert for Bethlehem, said the cost of building an integrated ' plant in the Indiana Harbor area | outside Chicago would be “so pro- • hibitive we wouldn’t even consider it.” Weikel said it would cost S3OO f a ton to build a new plant from I the ground up, or more than 750 | million dollars over-all. However, he told a Federal Court here that' if the nferger with Youngstown I goes through, the same products | could be turned out for 358 million; dollars or $135 a ton, That would be the cost of expanding Youngstown's present facilities. Weikel was a key witness for the defense in an antitrust suit being tried before judge Edward Weinfeld. The government brought I the suit to black the merger, ' which would be one of the biggest | in history. Bethlehem contends that a mer-1 ger with Youngstown would permit j it to compete in the rich midwest-: ern area with U. S. Steel. The company has stated that a merger is the only way it could effectively j break into the Midwest as a I major competitor. Rural Churches MT. PLEASANT METHODIST * George D.

God Sets Men Free Lesson for April 27, 1958 THE thought of God should be the happiest thought in the world, but often it isn’t. On business contracts the words "Act of God" always mean "catastrophe," something dire and dreadful. Just mention God, in a serious way, at some party or in private conversation, and people will stop ''dH smiling and look at you in a sus- . picious, almost ‘ resentful way. It ■ is plain that some people [; ' K don't like to think about God. J|| They think of " Him as the Eye Dr ’ Hernan in the Sky, sleeplessly watching. They think of Him as a Cosmic Calculator, forever at work adding up the good deeds and the misdeeds of all human beings, waiting for a slip, a big mistake, a sudden sin, to give Him the excuse to pounce. They think of Him as the Judge, all-knowing, un-forgetting, to whom and from whom there is no appeal. God tho Doliveror When people think of God tn such ways, religion becomes avery unhappy and even wretched form of slow self-torture. It is like | living in a prison or a concentraI tion camp, under the guard’s constantly watching eye. Now this is the very opposite of Bible religion. ! The keynote of the Bible from I beginning to end is Salvation, | which means Deliverance, which : means to be set free. God is not a God who enjoys getting people I into trouble, he takes delight in ! getting them out of it. The root | of a man’s feeling toward God ! should not be fear, but loving [gratitude. God and the Ten Commandments Look at this frpm another angle again. How do people react to the Law of God, especially as we find His will in the Ten Commandments? Some people, not Christians of course, think of these laws as they may about certain state or national laws; they comply, but with a sour face and a slow heart. Sometimes they spell it out: “I don't like this law, but it's the law and I’m obliged to carry it out. I have no choice.” God's law, like man’s, seem (to some people) like so many prison bars. But His laws are laws of freedom, not restraint, because he is the freedom-loving God. It is written into the Preface of the | Ten Commandments: “I (the Giver I of these laws) am the Lord thy God, that brought thee"up . . . out | of the house of bondage.” A Movie’s Mistake 'The well-advertised and muchseen picture, "The Ten Commandments,” devotes only ten minutes of its nearly four hours to the Ten Commandments. Most of the story is concerned (the narrator says) with the story of freedom against tyranny, of free men under God as against the slavery of life under : a dictator. That is quite right about the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt. It was the birth of a free people. By intention, the picture hit the nail on the head. But the picture itself didn’t hit that nail at all. Freedom, in the picture, is just getting away, breaking loose, drowning your enemies and leaving your masters behind. But the Bible's idea of freedom is always attached to a question: What will you do with it? Freedom-from is not enough. There has to be freedom-for. The generation that left Egypt were not condemned to long wanderings, as the picture suggested, for that riotous night at Sinai. They were made to'die in the wilderness because at a critical moment they refused to fight for the land of promise. (See Numbers 13, 14.) God’* Fro* Men God sets men free today—he has always done it—in a more profound sense than changing their status from slaves to citizens. God sets men free in their souls. He creates a free heart as well as a clean one. God's men are not ordinary men carrying an extra load of Must's and Musn't's. God's people are set free from the' "law of sin and death;" not free to do as they please, but free to serve God and man. God's free men discover that freedom under God does not mean freedom from responsibility to God. Quite the contrary. No man can stand in the liberty of faith and at the same time reject his responsibility to the God in whom he says he believes. Freedom as a child sees it means having everything his own way. Freedom for the mature means seeking always God's way. (Bases en eatltaea eepyrlrhted ky the Dleialon of Christian Edaeatlon, National Connoil of tho Cknrehea of Christ In the U. S. A.
