32 Peasants Are Returned To Siberia MOSCOW (UPD—A group of Russian peasants who sought help at the U.S. Embassy against religious persecution have left Moscow to return to their homes in Siberia, the government said today. The 32 Christians boarded a train Thursday night for Chernogorsk, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said. He declined to disclose further details. The statement was the first word of the peasants since Thursday afternoon when they left the U.S. Embassy under official escort in a bus. The group included six men, 12 women and 14 children. The peasants caused quite a commotion when they pushed their ’way past Russian guards into the U.S. Embassy compound Thursday. They told embassy officials they were “evangelical Christians,” and claimed they were subjected to religious persecution in Chernogorsk. Evangelical Christians is the customary name for Baptists in Russia. Many of the peasants wept as they told Embassy officials they would be shot, imprisoned or separated from their children. They I said they had spent four days on a train, traveling 2,000 miles from Chernogorsk to seek help in Moscow. U.S. officials eventually turned the peasants over to Soviet authorities since the United States has no treaty with the Soviet Union recognizing the right of asylum. — After herding the protesters into the bus, Soviet officials promised that no harm would come to them. A spokesman for the “State Council for Religious Cult,” the body charged with overseeing religious groups other than the Russian Orthodox Church, said the peasants’ claims would be investigated. » Stamping out religion is an official Soviet policy. Although the Communist regime tolerates sdme religions such as the Russian Orthodox Church, it has outlawed some other religious organizations on the ground they are engaged in “political” and “anti-social” activities. Lone Gunman Robs Switz City Bank SWITZ CITY, Ind. (UPD—Loot was set at $2,174 today in a holdup Thursday afternoon in which a gunman robbed the Peoples Trust Co. Several suspects were questioned but when taken to the bank for possible identification by robbed employes, none turned out to be the bandit. The unmasked bandit walked into the bank, pulled a sawed-off rifle from beneath his coat and forced manager Relle Aldridge to empty the cash drawers in the teller cages into a brown paper sack. ■ - . . Aldridge said “ the bandit then” forced the four bank employes and two customers to lie on the floor as he made his getaway. It was the first Indiana tank robbery of the new year. State Police, operating under the theory the bandit had an accomplice driving a getaway car, threw up roadblocks at about 20 highway intersections in the Putnam ville, Bloomington and Jasper districts within half an hour of the robbery. Several suspects were taken to the bank for possible identification, but Aldridge said each was not the banditIf you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.

Jobless Pay Claims Increased In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPD -Unemployment insurance was claimed by 50,527 Hoosiers last week compared to 44,992 the week before, due to holiday and inventory layoffs and less outdoor and construction work. Director Lewis Nicolini of the Indiana Employment Security Division said Thursday the largest rise in claims came in the Evansville and Bloomington area, where several large plants shut down and one laid off 1,200 workers.

Bulgarian Is Cleared Os Spy Charges Today ROME (UPD—A Bulgarian pilot, cleared of spy charges that could have landed him in prison for 24 years, arrived in Rome today and said he would return to his homeland as soon as possible. The pilot, 2nd Lt. Milusc Solakov, 23, came from Bari, in southern Italy, where he had spent a “year in jail. He was freed Thursday by an examining magistrate who ruled there was no ground for a trial. Bulgarian diplomats met him at the train in Rome and whisked him off in an automobile to their legation. “I am going back to Bulgaria right away, very right away,” the well-dressed young aviator told newsmen at the Rome station. Embraces Official He declined to answer any other questions but warmly embraced one of the Bulgarian officials. When he was released from prison Thursday he told newsmen: “I am blad that the truth has triumphed and that I can finally go home.” The Solakov case began last Jan. 20 When the 23-year-old pilot crashed his Russian-built Bulgarian MIG 17 in an olive grove near a secret NATO missile base at Acquaviva, Italy. He was captured, charged with spying and jailed to await trial. But examining magistrate Dr. Ferninando Alterio ruled Thursday that Solakov was “not guilty’’ of political and military espionage and there was no case for trial. He ordered the pilot released from Bari Prison and handed over to the Bulgarian Legation in Rome. Denied Charges Solakov always denied he was spying. He long maintained that he sought asylum in the West. But this, apparently was belied by his seeming enthusiasm over his impending return to Bulgaria. The Bulgarian government maintained the pilot lost his way in bad weather over the Adriatic and strayed into Italy. Alterio, as an examining magistrate.fillssornewhet toe same function as a grand jury in the United States in deciding whether a prisoner should stand trial. The magistrate did not explain the reason behind his ruling. But it was known that Italian government investigations since Solakov crashed turned up litlte evidencethat he was a spy.

New Kind of Love Lesion for December 18,1962 ’’THERE are three ways of knowing what a thing is. First is by looking the word up in the dictionary, or to have some one tell us about it. Second comes the knowing which comes by looking

at the thing itself. Best way of all is to have it, so to speak, as part of yourself. For tostanee, take Any dictionary will tell you what strength is, in carefully chosen words. You could

|||| Dr. Foreman

then tell someone else what strength means, only your telling would be just a matter of remembering the right words. A better way would be harder to forget. Suppose you nearly drowned at a bathing beach, and a lifeguard rescued you. Then you would know what strength is, and you would always remember it, even if you forgot what the dictionary said. But the best way of all is to grow strong yourself. Then even if you lost your memory entirely, you would know what strength is. "Is year heart tnn to ny heartT* All this is specially true of the much-talked-about thing called, in our language, Love. The Bible has much to say about it. But let no reader of the Bible think that because he has read about it, even on these inspired pages, he now knows love. Every writer of the Bible would agree that to know love truly, we have to be loved, and to love. Nevertheless, the words the Bible writers use are not unimportant. They give us a clue to how we may recognize love, genuine love, from imitations. The Apostle John gives us a rather horrible example of what hate is; and expects us to understand that love is its opposite. Love is NOT like what Cain the murderer felt for his brother Abel. Why did he murder him? John asks. Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteousin other words, because he was bad and his brother good. Hatred comes from lack of unity,, love comes from unity of spirit. Saint John is fond of explaining a thing by naming its opposite. Love, we have seen, is the opposite of hate. It is also the opposite of death. Most people would say off-hand that the opposite of death is life. John would wanj that life without love is death. Not to love means remaining ip death.—And yet, love may lead to death, liter- = ally, and it must lead (or be marked counterfeit) to devotion shut up for hours on end, day after day, with subnormal children who can hardly even talk, cannot hold a pencil, cannot play orj move like normal children? Most of us would think that a perfectly horrible existence; but there is a little lady some seventy years of age, who does just that . . . because she loves children like that. And if you think, well, that’s an old lady, she can do this, but a young woman, no,—if you think that, you evidently have not met a young woman this writer remembers, one of the happiest young women he ever met, who finds her happiness in helping these helpless children. There is more than one way to lay down one’s life. Net !■ talk tat la tnrtfc Saint John is called the Apostle of Love, but he has no exclusive right to that honorable title. No one can read what Paul said in I Corinthians 13 for example, or Peter in I Peter 3:8, 9, or our Lord Himself in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5), to mention only a few of the places rewarding careful study) without seeing that all agree on this: Love is real when it becomes living acts, something more than a word. In fact, John contrasts love “in word or speech” with love “in deed and truth.” As we were saying about strength, so with love. We know it a little from reading or hearing about it. We know it better when some one loves us; we know it best of all, not when we become eloquent about it but when what we do every day, the way we habitually move and think and act, the way we live, spells : love so plainly no one can miss it. < And now if someone complains that this is too high for us, let us freely confess: This kind of love is so rare as to be a new surprise every time we find it. But find it we do; for it ia the signature of 'God. ?

Several times during the day he would stop all his activities and ask, "What would Christ do?” Often the solution to a broblem came immediately; but whether the answer came at once or not, he would resume his work with a feeling of assurance that all would be well.

month this simple plan of asking at frequent intervals, "What would Christ do?” he gradually came to realize that he was depending for guidance upon a power greater than his own, and that the practical results were incomparably better than when he had depended solely upon himself. The act of looking to a higher power in times of great crisis is not uncommon, but comparatively few persons think of turning to Christ, as did this businessman, in the affairs of daily life. The mere asking, “What would Christ do?” shows in itself a willingness to t seek guidance and help from a power admittedly greater than that of the petitioner. The businessman referred to says that as he progressed in the habit of asking, “What would Christ do?” he unconsciously developed increased humility and a faith tha' removed mountains of doubt and perplexity.
