This is our view:

Freedom To Think

As much as we may be satiated with it, the theme of civil liberties as it relates to freedom to think needs to be dramatized. We need to know its evolution. s Picture, if you will, a savage tribe living in some remote yesterday. Many people who never have studied primitive man somehow have the notion that primitive life with hunting, fishing and all the rest of what is imagined, was a period of individualism. They have the notion that men came and went as they wished, that they performed duties at their own whims of desire. No notion could be more false. Studies show that early man lived a life that was hemmed in by elaborate codes of conduct. His activities weére standardized as we in our day can hardly believe. And the reason was that life in primitive times was based on the tribe to which one belonged. Taboos were the basis of what was right and wrong. Those taboos were established by tradition—handed down by the seniority of the eldest—and no deviation was permitted. Individualism? Not one iota of it was permitted. Primitive life was social, not individualistic. It was tribal, and rules and regulations were strict. Move up the ladder of time. Take that primitive picture of tribal taboos with you. Imagine yourself living in the Orient. Part of the picture includes the relation of the individual to his ruler. What is that relation? The king is master over the life of everyone of his subjects, because the social pattern is based on the divine right of kings. Imagine the day. when someone suggests that there ought to be no place for that concept, but that there ought to be equality for all men. What happens to any person suggesting such an idea? He is put to death, of course. Come up the ladder again. You are in- England. A man is working for his employed. He regards his wage as a mere pittance. He asks his employer for a larger age. What happens to him? He is put to death, for such is the law of the land—and not so long ago in terms of civilization’s time-schedule.

Looking back in man’s evolutionary drama, no aspect of life is more essential of understanding than this: if men had not dared to speak their ideas, there never would have been any advance. Yet, they did; and we know what it meant for thousands. It meane to be drawn and ‘quartered—to be tossed to animals in the arena—to be burned at the stake. e

A crime to express thoughts outside the political, religious, or social pattern! That picture is too often forgotten. Trite as it may seem, the picture that I would imprint indelibly on the mind of anyone who desires to gain insight from hindsight is this: Civili zation’s advance is based on thoughts which once were forbidden. We need to remember that when we hear opinions with which we do not agree.

No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage-ground of truth.—Francis Bacon.

The difference between false and true pleasure is this: for the true, the price is paid before you enjoy it; for the false, after you enjoy it—John Foster.

All earthly -delights are sweeter in expectation than enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures more in fruition than expectation.—Feltham. :

MUSINGS OF AN EDITOR | by _ Calhoun Cartwright

Newspapers in the east are lampooning the fact that painting (the artistic kind) is taking the country by storm. Personally, 1 can think of no finer avocation. It’s better for the peace of mind, the general attituide and health than most storm-taking ideas I can ecall. I presume most people have a hidden desire to sometime in their life paint a picture. I have, In fact, a year ago I purchased the whole outfit from paints to brushes, but I admit they never have left the original wrapping. Isn’t it funny that with men dropping over from heart trouble due primarily to the pace with which we live, that we continue hurrying around getting nowhere?

I’m undoubtedly as good an example of the unpeaceful type as you could find, even though I know better. First, it’s a hustle to make a living. It’s a hustle to keep your social engagements. It’s a hustle to find time to play, and it’s a hustle to get your rest. Why, we Americans are the hustlingest people in the world, and what for? Most of us don’t know it, but we’re hustling to the grave. Of course, you can’t blame it on we ordinary people entirely. We were. brought up on it. We learned in school that the man who hustled got the furthest, and of course we’re anxious to get further. The Church tries to personify the spirit of tranquility, but let the minister keep his congregation past twelve o’clock, and listen to the kicks outside the front door. We’re hustling to get home to our Sunday dinner so we can hustle and take that Sunday nap. ; - All the great “success” stories and speeches are based on the spirit of hustle. “It’s the early bird that gets the worm” and all that sort of thing. I’ve heard people many times complain about some peaceful soul because ‘“he had no hustle about him,” haven’t you? I know a person who hustled all her life to make enough money to return home, retire and take it easy. Well, she’s in her home town retired with money enough to take it easy, but her mind snapped under the strain and she enjoys not her long sought freedom.

We inculcate the spirit of hustle in our athletics for the hue and cry of every coach is “HUSTLE.” The athlste hustles to make the team, then hustles to stay on the team. Soon he begins to realize that everything he wants to do must be done in the spirit of hustle. I knew a boy in my high school that just didn’t’ have any hustle in him. He couldn’t make the team beeause he couldn’t hurry. Nothing seemed to rush him, even his studies. When a teacher told the class they must finish a chapter by the end of the week, he was frank to admit he couldn’t hurry and get anything out of the chapter, and he took longer to get what the other students did in a hurry. Many. courses were flunked because he wouldn’t keep up with the class, but he didn’t seem to mind one bit. He just took his time ... he was an “ornry critter” because he just wouldn’t hustle, and as I remember, he spent five years in high %:hool and about eight years in colge. He wasn’t very popular as you can imagine, but today he knows more about his subject than any man I know, because he took his time and got things theroughly. - He still doesn’t hustle, but he enjoys life and what he kmows, he knows well, .

What'’s the hurry in our schools today? If you took every subject they taught at the University of Chieago, it would take you six hundred years, so it’s a “lead pipe cinch” you can’t learn too much in your eight years of higher education. Why not take your time and léarn what you do learn well? It takes light forty years to travel to the earth from some of the stars, and light travels pretty fast, so where’s YOUR hurrying going to get-you? Yes, T know I don’t practice what I preach, but it's net because I don’t know better. It’s because I listened too muecn to all the success stories and read the Ameriean magazine too carefully and all that sort of thing. e '

Back to this paintin’fh vogue, let me rise to say, I'm for it . There’s one place where you can’t hustle, and believe you me, mt’s the kind of medicine most of us need. -

DEBATE OVER EXTENSION of the reciprocal trade agreements received top billing in the senate this week, and with legislation at a standstill in the house, vacationing until Sept. 21, little detinite action was in the immediate offing. .= L The compromise farm bill, offered by Sen. Clint Anderson of New Mexico, appeared to have bi-partisan support, and even Senator Aitken of Vermont, author of the Aitken law, . appeared to be willing that his law should go out the window without taking effect. Effective -date of the Aitken law was January, 1, 1950. . i - i ! Republicans in both' house and! senate breathed a sigh of relief when administration forces agreed to support the Anderson bill with'a lower parity support than the house-passed Gore bill. Reason is that farm prices will take.a dip this fall and the Aitken law would ‘have meant lower farm prices. Thus, with farm states already off i reremrator Insplact 36 Pk Republicans are concerned, ‘they were eager to take IhB Ande -39# bill }xtid";.r?‘ght. oyt the %u&’i?ﬁé coming campaign on the Brannan program,; which.is.not dead by a fong shot. . ....... . ir 3u guoeis .

The house bill already had removed about a million workers from “coverage by the measure. So it’s a half-way victory’ for the administration.- -*. . .

Jesus’ Early Teaching and Healing. - Lesson for October 2: Mark 1: 1415. 32-39; Luke 4:16-21. - Memory Selection: Matthew 4:23. Galilee was the scene of our Lord’s tirst preaching and healing. The first two verses- of the lesson text give us a pattern of his ministry throughout Galilee, T _Jesus at once became the Great Physician—healing the bodies of men that he might reach their souls.« His miracles were usually those ‘of healing. They also démonstrated his divine power and won adherents, Many people were so deranged by sin and disease that they were said to be possessed with demons. One of the great works of Jesus was casting the demons out of afflicted ones.

Capernaum was the place of many healings. On a notable day “when the sun did set” all the diseased and those possessed with devils were brought unto Jesus: “And all the city was gathered at the door.” Afterward he went into the synagogues throughout Galilee with his gracious ministry of healing. : In his native Nazzreth he declared himself fully, In the synagogue, given the book of Isaiah, he read a prophecy and claimed it had been fulfilled in Himself. The spirit of the Lord was upon Him first to preach the gospel, for in the order of time and importance, preaching the good news comes first. There is a wide need of great preaching today, Let the blessed gospel sound from our pulpits. And let every Christian be aware that ‘men are reading ‘the gospel according to Him. Does the gospel which men read in you square with that which Jesus preached? It does, if it is saving you.
