West Allies Seek SovietJlntention

GENEVA fUPI) — The Western Allies today were reported planning a “probing operation” to learn true Russian intentions toward the isolated city of West Berlin. They said they expected the diplomatic maneuver to take about 10 days and that they expected to learn under what conditions the West remains in West Berlin and whether a summit meeting can be arranged for autumn. Russia has not budged from its original demands that the Allies quit West Berlin and make it into a demilitarized "free city” and that they .sign separate peace treaties with East and West Germany. The West regards as impossible. It hopes to reach some agreement here that will maintain the current status of Berlin until a summit conference can be arranged. Western sources said they would begin the probe of Russian intentions, perhaps today in Washington.? tohen President Eisenhower meets with the Big Four Ministers, or on the plane trip back to Geneva. The real probe begins Friday afternoon when the four ministers each acompanied by two aids, meet in private session at the residence of British Foreign Minister Selwyn Lloyd". The West still insisted there would be no breaking up of its “package plan” for Berlin, Germany and European security, but it was anxious to agree on Berlin in the meantime. . The British and French delegations have inspired daily newspaper stories that the West might break up the peace plan but this has not caused the Russians to budge an inch.

Grim Prelude To Holiday Death Toll United Press Internationa! At least eight traffic deaths in Indiana in 72 hours this week served as a grim prelude to a holiday weekend officials hoped would be safe and sane. Despite warnings from Governor Handley. State Police Supt. Harold S. Zeis and the Indiana Office of Traffic-Safety, the odds were that the Memorial Day period would feature the usual number of highway tragedies. Estimates based on what has happened in the past seemed to indicate at least half a dozen motorists would die in the 54-hour period beginning at 6 p. m. Friday. This week’s toll has included three fatalities Monday, one Tuesday. three Wednesday, and one today. Five deaths occurred in the central third of the state, with two in the north third and one in the south third.

We An Not Alm Lesson for May 81, 1959 EVERY MAN who stands up for what he believes to be right in the sight of God—stands up, speaks up, and works to make the divine dream come true—every such person will have times of deep discouragement. An American will think of the familiar examples of

Dr. Foreman

Washington and Lincoln who went through dark times when no one, that is to say nobody who carried much weight, seemed to be on their side; times when they even wondered if they eould be on God's

side. Any one who speaks for a cause which has not yet become popular, any one who speaks courageously against the prevailing winds of belief in his time, will feel sooner or later that he stands alone. Prophets In Flicht It has often been so with God’s prophets. Indeed, the picture our 'minds draw for us, of brave prophets bearding tyrants in their palaces, thundering God’s judgments on nations and individuals, men unafraid, not caring what men might say or do so long as they were speaking for God, that picture does not always fit. Consider the prophet, Elijah, a brave man most of the time, but running now, running away, as far away as his legs would take him. And from what,7 Just a woman. True, she had threatened to butcher him. But Elijah had lived through threats before. The thing was, this woman was a queen, so much a queen that her wretched husband never dared say No to her. When she threatened to do anything bad, you could be sure her heart (a bad one) was In it! So when they told Elijah what she said, he lost no time getting out of there. Forty days and forty nights he fled. And when God asked him why, ."I only am left,” ne said. What was one man against the nation? One Elijah for God; Jezebel and all Israel against God. Hopeless odds, Elijah thought. The Invisible Army How wrong can a prophet get ? Elijah estimated the number of God’s loyal people in all Palestine as One, namely himself. Gods count made it seven thousand. Elijah, scared as he was, turned out to be only .00014 right, no very high figure! This is a mistake which many pioneers of faith have made. There are more people on God’s side than you might think. Looking about us in our country today, seeing what crowds there are that believe silly and even wicked lies, how many people who will go out and vote for candidates who are plainly npt on God’s side or anywhere near it, how few people there are at church compared,with the crowds (let us say) at the racetrack, how hard it is to put into action, anywhere, the most elementary Christian principles—looking at the American scene, the Christian is sometimes tempted to complete cynicism and despair. He Had Bod The prophet Elijah learned something else in his wilderness hideaway. He found God there, and God had something for him to do. Elijah had believed in God a long time; but he associated God with spectacular miracles, fire from heaven, rock-breaking winds, resurrections of the dead ... Now he learns to know the God of the still small voice, the God who comes in the voice of duty. The three things God gave him to do were not miracles, they were very simple acts. But they were going to change the course of history, more than some of the miracles Elijah had before then performed. Now it is not true that any one can “have God” if he likes. But it is true that those whom God has, have God with them, by them, in them. The man or woman who goes faithfully about life’s plain duties, who stands for what he knows to be right, no matter what, will discover that he is not alone. To listen ttrthe voices of the crowds, to be an echo of common prejudices, is to hear within nothing but e dreadful silence and to stand alone in a waste place. But to hear that still small Voice, in spite of all the Jezebels of the world, even under threat of death is to know oneself never alone,/'

/N THE DAY OF TROUBLE Rev. J. R. Meadows “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.” (Psa. 50: 15). This is a promise from our God and Creatq? who can never lie, who is better able and willing to do what He promises, if we obey and do what He tells us. If we search the Scriptures we will find from the beginning to the end that He has always kept His promises. Hear what the Lord says: “He shall call upon Me, and I will be with Him in trouble, I will deliver him." (Psa. 91:15). And David says, “In the days of my trouble I will call upon Thee, For Thou wilt answer, and in the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord.” (Psa. 86:7). We all will come in trouble some time, but do we all call upon God? And when He sends deliverance, GAY’S MOBIL SERVICE 13th and Monroe St. Phone 3-3609 Decatur Lumber Co.

I do we all glorify Him, thank and praise Him? We can call upon God, and we can thank and praise Him, if we want to; and that is what we should do. But if we do not call upon Him, and do not thank Him, we cannot expect to receive deliverance. Why should we not first of all call upon God, who is able and willing to help and deliver out of all trouble those who earnestly follow Him.
