Taft, Jr., R-Ohio, Thursday night urged the Republican Party to adopt a national platform including pledges of fiscal responsibility, limitations —on the growth of bureaucracy, and a stronger policy in relations with Russia. .... . Taft held a news conference and spoke at a SIOO-a-plate “investment for victory” dinner sponsored by the Indiana Republican State Committee as a means of reducing sharply the huge deficit the organization faced after its disastrous campaigns of 1960 and 1962. About 1,000 persons attended to hear the son of the late Sen. Robert A. Taft whom the bulk of the Hoosier delegates to the 1952 GOP national convention supported unwaveringly as he was beaten for the presidential nomination by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Taft said President Kennedy can be beaten next year in his bid for a second term. Speaking of the May 21 wheat referendum which has kicked up a storm of controversy over the nation, Taft compared it to “a Russian election” as he referred to efforts of Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman to have the farmers vote “yes.” He said the Kennedy administration has dedicated itself to an “unlimited and unending policy of deficit spending. ” Taft said statements of President Kennedy indicate the administration feels that any attempt to cut into proposed federal expenditures would have a “disastrous” effect upon the national budget. “What the President fails to say ip that money borrowed for deficit spending purposes or taken from the taxpayers is money taken out of other uses which might well provide more jobs and more expansion than any expenditure by the federal government could provide,” he said. “In fact, expenditure by the federal government on its face represents less productive wealth than private expenditure because ■.. government expenditure is wasteful and not subject to the same degree as private expenditure,” he pointed out. Taft said he agreed with Kenedy that a tax cut would stimulate the national economy but said it should be accompanied by cuts in government spending. Earlier, in a press conference the son of the late Ohio senator said the Democratic Party was growing weaker in the South, and he said this was one of several factors which would enable the Republicans to defeat Kennedy next year.

I DaT.tl.Ml BeaAiag: Plata 0:1-4, . 16-18, 3OM. AMAN sat down some years ago to write a book about the Kingdom ot God. Where is it? waa bis question. He believed that the Kingdom comes wherever God’s will is done, so that we cannot say it is all here or all there. God’s KHUM| will may never I be fully dona on eartt> * b ut is Saß done more in some HR places and by S 3 some people than gfifl in other places and by other people. VI In all the institur jH tions of society. where is the will Dr. Foreman of God best done? i To put it another way, what inI stitution of society is most like } heaven? i Wbara rtligioa begin I It is no surprise to bo toM that ; this author argued that the place most like heaven on this earth is ■ the home. Not the church, but the home. (International relations, ho thought, are the area farthest from the will of God. This is no surprise either; but that is another story.) The home, in fact, is where religion begins. If you wanted to get rid of religion, as the communists do, the place to attack is not the church but the home. Keep people from having a normal borne life and religion will dry out at the roots. The home is where we first hear the name of God; it is where we first learn to pray; there we hear the Bible read, there we are taught what forgiveness means, there we learn Christian ..habits and feel the first . stirrings of Christian ambition and ideals. Modern Christian teachers . of young people do not think of the home, as maybe our parents did, as a force for good which is a great help to school and church; it is the other way around. School and church—including church school—are aids to the home. To be better than one’s father and mother is an ambition most people would say is impossible. Some one has suggested that we cannot be more devoted to God, more fully given up to His will and service, than were the best Christians of centuries ago; in short, that there are no persons in our present world who are more saintly than some of our forebears. What can be true of this generatioh, however, is that there can be, and in places is, a clearer knowledge of what devotion to God’s will demands. To put it another way: in our hearts’ devotion we cannot hope to measure up to our forefathers; but in the way ar in which that devotion may be turned to practical purposes, we may go beyond them. Now the writer of Psalm 78 certainly believed that it is in the home that we learn to be better (more obedient to God) than those who went before us. How can this be? It can be, because in each home there is something greater and better even than the parents: the law of God, or as we would say, the Bible. All the advice of father and mother is subject to error and sin; but God’s word can be taught by parents to children, and there is no advice better than is given by the Holy Spirit Ths boos Is a ssheel «4 Each God-fearing home is a link in a long chain, a part of a great School of Goodness. The Psalmist of old thought of the parents as teachers, and he is still right. How does the home teach? In three ways. First by the Word of God, as was just now said. The habit of using the Bible, of studying it, if not learned at home will not be learned elsewhere. But the good home teaches not by words alone, but by example. Many of us define a Christian by describing the sort of people our parents were. Religion on two feet is religion we can understand. You can argue about theology and theories; but a genuine Christian is his own argument. If we are Christians because our fathers were, that is the way God planned it. But the teaching of the home is more than Bible study and good example. The home is a place where we learn to do by doing. The many situations that test our tempers, the many occasions to get into a quarrel or to settle things peacefully, the many Opportunities to be generous, the disappointments and sorrows, as well as the joys and accomplishments, which we experience in a good home, are an part ot the training God offers us in the use and meaning of life.

OBSERVE MOTHER'S DAY BY BEING IN CHURCH Rev. James R. Meadows Someone has said the two sweetest words in the English language are “Home" and “Mother”. With the statement most people will agree. In every heart but the most debased there ever remains a warm spot for that place called home, and to which the thoughts that wander turn to when the sands of life are draining away. And what heart is not responsive to the most tender and hallowed associations that are conjured up by the word "Mother”? With that word all that is best, all that is purest, all that is holiest in life is entwined. For multitudes of human beings it is true that “a mother is a mother, still the holiest thing alive.” We are rerhinded of the duty we owe to our parents by the return again of “Mother’s Day.” If there is one thing the day should do, it is to recall us to a sense of the duty we owe to the living. It should never be forgotten that “a rose to the living is more than sumptuous wreaths to the dead.” It is better far to pour forth unstinted the affection of the heart on a PLEASANT DALE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN Dolar Ritchey, pastor Morning Worship and Baby Dedication 9:00.
