THE CLOTHMAKER INDIVIDUALISM vs SOCIALISM You are an individual?an American citizen ? who believes in the free rights of an individual. Do you believe you will always be free?that you will always be able to call these rights your own? You say freedom can never be lost in this country. It has happened in socialistic Cuba. It has happened in Great oriiain. Having tasted socialism, Great Britain is now trying to switch back to rights for the individual. If you wish to preserve these rights, you must exercise these rights each and every day. This means that you must vote as an American. you must allow the individual to worship freely, you must ho able to choose your own neighbors, your own place of worship. These are the things you have observed on a "routine" basis since your birth. It is to be recommended that in these troubled times when vour freedom is being challenged that vou rarpfnllv examine the issues of the day and decide where best these individual rights can be found and protected. Our country's freedom is in vour hands use it wisely.

IT t a b It is obvious that an event such as the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, must have had great consequences, not only for the disciples or even for the church, but for the whole world. What did the resurrection of Jesus mean? The resurrection meant, first, God's vendication of his cjon. v\ nen me aiscipies went out preaching and proclaiming their risen Lord, they used significantly the passive, not the active, voice to describe the event; they said regularly. not "he rose." but "he was raised." for with deep spiritual insight they saw that which had happened had been nothing less than God in action. God's right arm made bare on behalf of his beloved Son. The resurrection of Jesus R E T I R E E Veteran Employee Retires Frank S. Childress.

We wish Frank many years of good health and happiness. / A ] I # I v C .a The Goodness of hod When we think about our lives and look back even into the dim past that seems so far away, we wonder just what we ever did to deserve all the goodness that has come our way. One of the greatest mysteries that we have been able to even think about is how we could receive so many good things after being as careless with our lives as we have been. How does it all come about? This, we are convinced, began back when God first made man. This thing that He had created was weak and fell into many pitfalls on down through the ages. The goodness of God was so powerful that it erased many bad marks against man if he realized his wrong and was earnestly sorry. When we realize that everything good that we have had and will have comes from God. we begin to think that we should not only stay near him but follow out his wishes. Trouble gets smaller, pain easier, and problems fade awav if we keep in touch with God Because of his goodness we are here and he likes to help us if we but ask him. May we never get out of reach of the goodness of God! 7 i t p r JV meant the vendication of righteousness. Daringly and gallantly Jesus had staked everything he had and was upon the absolute validity of goodness and truth and love. These were the things whose supremacy he had always preached: for these he had consecrated his own life up to the last limit of self-consecration, and for his belief in these he was ready at last to die. Had Jesus remained in the tomb, the conclusion would have been irresistible that this world is a moral chaos and goodness a poor mirage and honor a mischievous delusion. But on the resurrec lion morning it was just as if the whole nature of things by one mighty act had endorsed and countersigned the noble, unselfish way of living. We know now that the universe itself is on the side of the man who fights the good fight. The resurrection of Jesus meant also the assurance of immortality. Pagans watching Christ's men at work in the world were struck by many things, but by nothing more forcibly than the Christian's contempt of death; and it was the risen Christ who had robbed the king of terrors of his power. Easter morning brough immortalitv to light; and the : : * * - - ^mrsuans seeing death lying broken, could say with the Psalmist. "God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet." (Psalm 47:5) Finally, the resurrection meant a Christ alive forevermore. Even when the forty wonderful days succeeding the first Easter were over and Jesus' visible presence was withdrawn, the disciples knew they had not lost him. Every day his own word was being verified in their own experience. "Low. I am with you alway even unto the end." (Matthew 28:20) '"hrough all the vicissitudes of their active service it was no fading memory that sustained them, but a living presence and a daily comradeship; and when, like their master before them, they saw death coming to meet them violently, it was his hands that held them up. Yes, Christ is alive. To thousands upon thousands at the present hour, this is no mere theory or vague, uncertain rumor, but proved, inviolable experience; and if they are facing life victoriously now where once thev were defeated, it is because they have found the same risen Lord who walked among the flowers of the garden on the morning of the first Easter day. Now. "Thanks be to God which g i v e t h us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Selected
