THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Pace Nine
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God *
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as It was told
unto them. (Lake 2:20).
It seemed to the happy shepherds that the very stars were singing,
each star an angel of the heavenly host. Mankind could never again
doubt the good will of God toward them, for He had sent His own Son
into the world for their salvation.
The birth of Christ was accomplished by a marvelous outburst of
praise. Luke records five songs—the Beatitude of Elizabeth, the Mag
nificat of Mary, the Benedictus of Zacharias, and later on, the Gloria in
Excelsis of the angels, and the Nune Dimittis of Simeon.
Into the daily round, into the common life of these men and women
came this outburst of song.
What was this but earth’s prelude for the heavenly song, as all na
tions and people fall down before the Lamb in the midst of the throne
and sing, "Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto
the Lamb?”
PRAYER
Lard, we. thank Thee for the wonderful gift of Thy be
loved San, and for Thy redeeming love toward os. In the
dally round of our Uvea inspire us with the Joy of our salva-
flou In Christ. In our Redeemer’s name we pray. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The love of Christ in us brings heavenly joy into our hearts and lives.

Asserting
Americanism
Americans have been going from
day to day in the current world cris
is wondering whether they are on
the threshold of another war.
Tragedy seems to lurk just around
the corner.
Hie use of American troops in
the Middle East w
and debated throughout the nation.
But there is a widespread feeling
that American national seif respect
called for a firm stand. If Lebanon
was not the moment that all citizens
would have chosen, nevertheless
an end to appeasement tactics fits
the American temper these days.
Perhaps the dangerous events of
the present period may be a turning
point in American policy. Ameri-
oans are sick of the financial bur
dens of bribery through foreign aid.
They are sick of pouring out billions
of dollars to dubious allies and tepid
friends. They are sick of subsidies
to states that side with the Soviets,
gifts to greedy socialists nations
that don’t prentend to hide their con
tempt for the U. S. A.
Americans are a plain, straight
forward people. When they do a
nation a good turn, they expect to
be decently and respecfully treated.
They know that the U. S. A. i s a
besieged fortress, and allies are not
allies unless they rally round i n
time of crisis \
It is a tribute to the American
character that at long last a stop
has been called to subversion a-
broad. At least conservatives can
hope that a halt has been called.
If the events in the Middle East
have proven anything, it is that dip
lomatic victories cannot be won by
dollars. Only the stern resolution
of the republic impresses the forces
of disorder.
No one. least of all an American
conservative, believes that marines
and air craft carriers should be fix
ed features of our foreign policy in
the years ahead. But the latent
power of the republic must be dem
onstrated to the world if the voice
of America is to be heeded. It is
our power that results in respect,
not our misguided missionary ef
forts to provide tractors in lands
th it have never seen steel ploughs
It is the spirt of firmness that
this nation needs regain in all it’s
dealings abroad And it is firmness
against subversion at home and
influences that weaken the fibre of
American character and under
mute our system that is most
A healthy spirit at self
assertion is the beginning at na
tional health. The so-called underde
veloped nations may resent our
well-being and our economic suc
cess. but that should not be cauae
for us to talk as thotigh national
prosperity were an affront to the
world.
The average \mencan is snowed
under with talk if guilt—guilt for
bold action abroad and guilt for
allegedly not giving away enough
of their suostancc, guilt for having
a free enterprise system that has
made us rich. The task of conser
vatives is to be self-assertive, to
cambat the apostles of guilt who
would have us retreat step by step
from postions of power and success
until we are so weakened and so
apologetic that we are easy prey for
communism at home or abroad
a right runs the risk of being at
tacked. But risk-taking is the prime
ingredient of our free enterprise eco
nomic system and our republican
form of government. It is the basis
of our success. The risk-takers
