Three Indicted I. U. Students Free On Bond BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (UPD — Three students who might have had “too much college” were free on bond today on charges of plotting the overthrow of the government. A county prosecutor said he was determined to “stamp out communism” before it got a foothold at Indiana University. Ralph Levitt, 25, Indianapolis, president of the IU chapter of the Young Socialist Alliance, and Thomas Morgan, 22, Terre Haute, YSA treasurer who recently made a hitchhiking tour through Russia and Africa, surrendered to Bloomington authorities Thursday. They, like James Bingham, 24, YSA vice president, were released on SI,OOO bond. Bingham surrendered earlier. A special Monroe County grand jury handed down the indictments Wednesday after investigating a pro-Cuban demonstration on the IU campus at the time the Cuban blockade was announced last OctoberOverthrow by Force The three IU students were specifically indicted for assembling March 25 "for the purpose of advocating or teaching the doctrine that the government of the United States, or of the state of Indiana, should be overthrown by force, violence or any unlawful means »» They were accused of “voluntarily participating therein by their presence, aid or instigation, and as officers of a Trotskyite Communist organization called the Young Socialist Alliance, the youth group of the Socialist Workers party.” ’ Levitt’s father, a prominent Indianapolis attorney, said he thought the whole affair was “unfortunate.” He said the indictments have “given the organization stature.” He said his son had had “too much college” and was “always for the underdog.” “He certainly is not a Communist,” the elder Levitt said. “He hates communism as much as I do. I don’t know what his definition of a socialist is.” Form Political Groups However, prosecutor Thomas A. Hoadley said the grand, jury found evidence that two Communist organizers helped set up various political groups including the YSA and the “Fair Play for Cuba Committee.” “We want only to stamp out communism and what it stands for before it gets a foothold here,” said the youthful, firstterm Hoadley, himself a recent graduate of IU.

PLEASANT MILLS BAPTIST CHURCH Joe Currant, Interim pastor 9:30 a.m. Sunday School. Lowell Noll, Sunday School Superintendent. Read Collosians. Intamattonnl Vndcrm Sunday School L—om To Be Forgiven Lesson far May 5, IMS BIM. Material: Paalrna at; SI; 103:814. Der.iteaal R.aSln(: Psalm 130. VXT’HY is it that when a sermon ’’ora Sunday school lesson is to be on the subject of Forgiveness, or anything connected with it, the Bible passage selected is nearly always from the Old Testament and not the New? The answer is obvious: the Old Testament, and espePsalms ' has the ’ '■ clearest and most LWfrZk* movin ß account of God’s forgiveness, ■ and especially the g experience of be- * jng forgiven, that Dr. Foreman can found in the Bible. This fact alone suggests much. It means, for example, that forgiveness is not something peculiar to our own religion. All religions desire a forgiving God; the difference between these and Christianity is not that people in other religions don’t care whether they are forgiven or not, but that they do not understand, as followers of Christ know, what kind of God it is who forgives, and why He forgives at all. Twa mlaundantandinga The forgiveness of God can be misunderstood in many ways. Let us glance at two of them. One is to suppose that He is a sort of vast forgiving machine. This is the age of automation, when everything works by push-buttons. When the electric power goes off, a switch untouched by human hands will put your house on another power line. When the plane in which you are flying starts to slide down, the automatic pilot will bring it right back up again. Some people think God is like this, forgiving automatically, some -would say even before a man repents. Others think of repentance as a sort of automatic switch: the minute a man says “I’m sorry” out comes forgiveness from heaven like candy from a machine. But it isn’t like that at all. Another mistake is to suppose that God’s forgiveness Is a sort of reward, as if God said, after all, that sinner is a pretty good man—above the average, in fact. Such goodness deserves some recognition, so I am going to reward him by forgiving him. It isn’t like that either. To be forgiven is a gift of God. “I did sot hide” The poet who wrote Psalm 32 knew from experience something very important. He had tried for a time that old dodge, pretending to himself that he bad not sinned at all. Nothing could be more utterly absurd, when you think of it, than trying to hide away from God. Nothing can be more impossible than to pretend it never happened. Nobody can go off and shut a door behind him and fancy that God will get no nearer than that door. Modern psychiatry agrees with the ancient psalmist that unadmitted sin, hidden guilt, is actually a serious menace to health. Psalm 32:3 and 4 describe a sick man. Doctors cannot cure such a case. The patient himself has the key to the cure, and this poet found it. “I acknowledged—” he says, “I did not hide;” “I will confess.” “Lava surrounds Him" Forgiveness is a kind of miracle after all. For we know that forgiveness is no good if the forgiver is determined never to forget. But how can God forget? Further,—and this is something that perhaps even angels may not understand—the question, Why should God forgive at all? has no final answer that leaves us without Ser questions. Would it not be ler for God to start all over again with some other race, a race that could not possibly sin? Why does God keep patching up human beings when he does not have to? The truth is, God does much better than patch people up. He makes them over. The forgiveness of God has a strange quality about it. Ordinary forgiveness leaves offenders about as they were. God’s forgiveness does something wonderful to the sinner. Read over this 32nd Psalm again and again. What sort of man is this who speaks with such profound enthusiasm about being forgiven? He does not sound in the least like a man who rejoices that his slate has been wiped clean so that he can start all over again. He is not at all thinking of God as a forgiving-machine. He has penetrated to the secret—not that he understands it, but he knows it: God forgives because He loves. What guarantees against future sins? Nothing in me, only love in Hi®.

LIFE IS A STEWARDSHIP Rev. James R. Meadows Finding one’s self in life is the one great task which lies before us all — especially those of us who are just beginning to feel the impact of the world’s demands upon us. It is very easy to permit ourselves to become bewildered and follow the march of the bewildered one, b u t it takes grit, courage, sacrifice and a living faith to really find one’s self and strive to develop the best within us. “Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character. Happy is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul.” Be not afraid! Go forth into life believing and you will receive. Life is a stewardship. God has placed within the heart of every man a great trust. This trust is not the same for me as it may be for you, but nevertheless it is just as important. You may have the gift of speech, of song, of parenthood, of healing, of nursing, or of turning the sod — but it is a trust from God. How that trust is cared for is left to you and me. How have we developed that trust? Are we really the kind of trustees worthy of the guardianship of such sacred trusts? Christian humility is a rare gem. It cannot be bought with the currency of this world's system of exchange.. It cannot be quoted at a price. It is the quality within the heart of the Christian which gives forth more radiance than the rarest diamond. Its rays are those St. Paul Missionary Church (2 Mi. East and 2 Mi.
