Fear Soviet Russia Toughening Stand West's Reaction To Christmas Message LONDON (UPD — Moscow’s Christmas policy message heightened Western fears today that Russia's stand was toughening on all fronts. This was the reading of diplomats of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko’s foreign policy statement before the Supreme Soviet in Moscow Thursday. Gromyko’s hands - off Berlin warning indicated Moscow stands firm by its decision, with apparently no intention of discussing a solution within the wider frame of German unification. At the same time, Gromyko served a veiled notice on the United States and Britain that Russia is not prepared to accept the West’s demanded control safeguards for a ban on nuclear tests. Gromyko proposed ‘‘reasonable talks between the countries didrectly concerned” on Berlin but let it be understood that Russia’s virtual, ultimatum remained unchanged. In Moscow, Western observers saw a glimmer of hope in Gromyko’s readiness to talk with the West. But diplomatic sources in London were less optimistic. In the absence so far of an official analysis of the latest Soviet policy statement, the sources considered the Soviet warning designed to “keep up the heat” and to influence the West’s Berlin notes to the Kremlin now in their final stage of preparation. The West’s draft notes have been senVUq the NATO Ministerial Council which will debate them on Monday in Paris. The notes were expected to be handed to the Kremlin later next week. I

No New Polio Cases Reported In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — For the second straight week, no new polio cases have been reported to THE BIBLE SPEAKS fSWSSi burmloul Umk»* * Sunday School Lamm BIM* ■•terial: Mark 8:27—9:1. D*v*tl**al Beadiar: Acta 3:29-3S. IsJwuLori? r ' 1 Lemon for December 28, 1958 ONE SUMMER day at * resort town then called Caesarea Philippi, the great words were spoken. It was a turning point in the history of Jesus; it was a central point in the history of the world. A small group of obscure men were asked a simple question

■ I Dr. Foreman

by their leader, then almost as obscure as they were. “Who do you say that I am T” An odd question, at first hearing. Who should he be, who could he be, but what he was? Jesus was his

name, a village called Nazareth once his home, more recently Capernaum. His occupation? Teacher, preacher, healer. A friend (it was said) of the lowest classes; at any rate he always seemed to have time for them. M Y»i Are th* Christ” These shabbily dressed friends of his, remember had never been to a Christian church in their lives. None then existed. They had never heard or sung a hymn to Christ, never heard a benediction in his name. They had ni>t even heard the expression “Jesus Christ.” Humanly speaking, they had no help in their answer. Humanly speaking, they could only have said, —“Who are you ? Why, Jesus, of course, our friend and teacher, yea a prophet!” But one of those men spoke with more than human insight that day. “You are the Christ,” he said. A simple sentence; but so profound, so filled with meaning that Peter himself did not then fully realize what he was saying, and all the volumes that have been written about it efinnot say the last word. For those were the words on which the Christian church is built. Those are the words which are the key*' to the future of mankind. That “confession” or affirmation of the fisherman Simon Peter contains in germ the Christian creed: it sets Jesus apart as unique in the human race; ft proclaims him King of kings and Lord of aIL I* Jem Lerri? “Christ” and “Lord” are very high titles for Jesus. Jesus himself knew that some people spoke and would speak of him in this way without meaning a word of it. He made somewhat bitter fun of people who would come around calling him “Lord, Lord,” but never listened to what he taught and never did what he said to do. And that illustrates a curious point about the proposition “Jesus is the Christ” or “Jesus is Lord,” —they mean about the same thing—namely that in a sense they are true, in a sense not true. It is true that Jesus is Lord by right, by Gods design and destiny. It is true that he will reign. But is ft true that he does reign ? He is the Lord by right; but are his wishes respected, his commands obeyed, is he welcome in his own realm t ■•v On WmW Msvm ~ At this time of the year, it is good to ask the old question. Is the world growing better or worse ? Such a question cannot be answered unless there is some kind of a standard, some point of reference. The world may be growing more to suit you, or less so; that is not the point The world is more comfortable than it used to be, more literate; but if every one on earth owned a college diploma, would that mean the world was growing better by that much? A preacher would be inclined to take his church as a point of reference. If he has taken to lots of new members, that’s a sign the world is growing better fast. But no, a church could be taking in members by the pewftd, and still actually be blocking the way to a better world. The point of reference here sug-' geeted is this proposition, Jesus is Ixwd, meant sincerely, and livedby seriously. The world is growing better in so far as, and as fast as, ths Lordship of Christ (which ft always total by right) becomes total in fact Is the world coming anywhere to recognize him as Lord of Hfe? If the answer anywhere is Yoe, mon so than ever, then the world at that point Is growing better; if the answer is No, there the world ft growing worse. Every man «an wen begin the questioning with ktaseif; for each person is the one part of the world for which— be it better or worse—he alone will be eftlsd to aecount

JOY FOR THE NEW YEAR Rev. J. R. Meadows . In this season of joy and gladness at the beginning of a new year, the true Christian is the happiest person in the world. Trusting in his Heavenly Father, he has so much to make him joyful and so little to make him sad; so much to cheer him and so little to depress. His basis of happiness is continuous and satisfying, for the Christian religion is eternal and complete. He rests in the assurance that God is all and in all for him. In Philippians 4:4’ the Apostle Paul wrote: “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” This emphasized admonition was also written for us as we face the
