Stalin Unmasked Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has systematically denounced Stalinism—both the vicious, intraparty assassinations, and the external open hostility of Communism to non-Comminiat governments. Stalin, in ruthlessly eliminating all intraparty rivals, had them assassinated, arrested by the secret police, tried for crimes “against the state”, and exiled. Khrushchev is trying to impress this upon the Russian people, and to eliminate some of the idolation of Stalin that was common during his lifetime. Undoubtedly he has been quite successful, since he controls the only legal organization in Russia, the Communist patry, and its sub-organiaztions, as well as all press, radio, TV, etc. But several questions remain. First of all, Khrushchev himself took over as head of the Ukrainian Communist party following a Stalin purge of the top Red in that Soviet state; but under Comrade Khrushchev’s leadership, 97% of the Ukrainian Central committee were removed from office, a larger percentage than were removed directly under Stalin in the All-Union Central Committee in Moscow. And completely ignored are the demotions, executions. and “confessions” that followed Stalin’s death as Rulgania, Beria, Molotov and others were removed from the Central Committee. Khrushchev’s policy, while slightly different in external characteristics, is still far from that to be expected in a politically Democratic country. Power politics there still lead to death and degradation by exile and demotion, based on power control rather than on the will of the masses of people.

Many Regard Fasting As Outworn Custom

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International In the Bible, prayer and fasting are mentioned repeatedly in the same phrase, as if they were twin features of a devout life. This Biblical habit of speech has a quaint ring to many modern Christians. They recognize the importance of prayer. But they look upon fasting as an outworn custom. With Lent beginning next Wednesday, this is an appropriate time to re-examine the ancient practice of fasting. What is it? What does the Bible say about it? What are its benefits — and pitfalls? Fasting is defined in Webster’s unabridged dictionary as “voluntary abstinence from food, or from certain types of food, for a space of time as a spiritual discipline.” The most rigorous kind of fasting is to take no nourishment whatever. But the person who “gives up candy for Lent” is also fasting, after a fashion. From a religious viewpoint, the significant thing about any fast is that it -is a voluntary act of selfdenial. Old Testament References There are many references to fasting in the Old Testament. From the time of Moses, Jews fasted on special occasions as an expression of humility, repentance or sorrow. At the start of the New Testament era, fasting had become a prescribed ritual, bound up like other religious duties in an intricate system of laws. The Pharisees fasted every Monday and Thursday, and made sure that everyone knew it. Many Christians today seem to have the impression that Jesus criticized the Pharisees for fasting. But this is a serious misreading of the Scripture. His criticism was aimed at the ostentatious way in which the Pharisees paraded the piety. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told His disciples: “When you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by men.. .but anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is Tn heaven. . .” Expects Disciples To Fast These words clearly imply that Jesus expected His disciples to YOU CAN HAVE THE BEST . . .

fast. They also seem to say that fasting, when done as a secret act of devotion, is pleasing to God. The New Testament records that Jesus Himself fasted, at the start of His ministry, when He was wrestling with the temptation to win men to His side the easy way. The early Christian church followed His example. Passages in the Book of Acts and St. Paul’s Letters indicate that fasts were observed especially in times of crisis, when the apostles felt a particular need of divine guidance. No one could be more articulate than Paul in asserting that Christian living is a matter of responding to God’s love, rather than merely keeping the law. But it was also Paul who insisted on the need for “bringing the body under subjection” by deliberate acts of self-discipline, such as fasting. The apostle warned that men and women who are slaves to their own appetites are not free to hear and obey the voice of God. Has Pitfalls Fasting has its pitfalls. The main one, as Jesus pointed out, is pride. It can take the crude form of bragging about what you’ve given up for Lent. Or it can take the subtler and more dangerous form of secretly feeling superior to those who aren’t fasting. But non-fasting can equally be an occasion of spiritual pride. The person who says that he doesn’t need to fast during a special period like Lent because “I practice Christian self-denial all year-round” is not far from the Pharisees. Fasting can also do more spiritual harm than good if it is undertaken in the belief that its main purpose is to “strengthen will power.’* This may indeed be a by-product of fasting, but the person who makes it his chief objective is apt to forget that Christians rely not on their own strength, but on the grace of God. To God’s Control “The purpose of Lent is not self control,” says Peter Day, editor of the Living Church Magazine, “but the giving over to the control' of Cod. “Fasting is not so much for the growth of strength of character as it is a getting out of the way of those things which, though good in themselves, obscure the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives.” Each person must decide for himself which bodily appetites and pet pleasures have gained such a hold on him that they “obscure the leading of the Holy

Accidents Blamed On Icy Pavements A pair of identical accidents occurred on Court street Friday within less than an hour, apparently due o a slippery pavement. A car driven by Clarence G. Hook, 44, 1215 W. Monroe St., struck the rear of an auto operated by Doris E. Sheets, 42, 4.35 Limberlost Trail, at 4:38 p.m. Mrs. Sheets was westbound on Court and had stopped at the Second Street intersection, when struck in the rear by the Hook car. Damages were estimated at $175 to the vehicle driven by Hook and SIOO to the Sheets car. At 5:15 p.m., just 37 minutes later, the same type of mishap occurred on Court street, at the Second St., intersection. Carolyn J. Baker. 21, Rockford, 0., was west bound and had stopped at the intersection, when struck in the rear by a vehicle operated by Ruth Ann Price, 26, 1704 Winchester St. Mrs. Price was also unable to stop in time on the slick street. The Price car was not damaged, and the Baker vehicle suffered an estimated SIOO damage. Two cars suffered more than S2OO damage each in a crack-up at 40:50 a m. ’Thursday at the intersection of Fifth and Madison streets. J Ralph C. McCullough, 24, HoagSpirit.” Saints who have already surrendered all worldly affections perhaps have no need to fast. Others may conclude that they need this form of self-discipline at least as much as Jesus did.

I belong to a real “kissing family.” All our relatives persist in kissing me on the mouth when greeting me. Would it be proper for me to turn my cheek to them, without apeparing too rude? A. This would appear a rather “cold” withdrawal on your part.

Your best way to handle this, I think, is to beat the other persons to the punch—kissing them quickly on the cheek before they have a chance at you. Q I’m a boy in boarding school and I love to get letters, especially from girls. When I meet them at home, is it all right for me to ask them to write to me? A. You should ask them if YOU may write to THEM, and then you write the first letter and hope they’ll answer you. Q. Is it all right for a casual dinner guest to follow her hostess out to the kitchen while the ' latter is preparing the meal?
