\ v- i L ... N Clinton, S. C n Thursday, January 24, 1963 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. (Matthew 11:20.) When I was still a young boy, I heard a preacher speak about Samuel and how God had spoken to him. I went home -so much impressed with the sermon that I resolved to hear God speak to me. That night I knelt beside my,bed and asked Him to speak to me, for I longed to hear His voice and advice.' I stayed in that position for a long time but heard nothing. Finally, I de cided to go to sleep. I had not lost hope; 1 said to myself, “Maybe God will speak to me at another time, in another manner.” Many years have passed since that night. Now I can look back and say that God has spoken to me. I have heard His voice many times in many different ways. He has guided my life. - ■ True, God does not speak to us when we decide we want Him to, but He will come to our aid when we seek Him diligent ly and in sincerity and truth. ~~ - PRAYER Our Father, we thank Thee for Thy guidance. Thou hast always been with us and ready to speak to us. Sometimes we have not listened to Thee or sensed that Thou Wert speaking to us. Help us to hear and heed Thy voice that we may live in the spirit of the Master. In His name we pray. Amen. . V THOUGHT FOR THE DAY ’ Y By faith we hear God Speaking to us; by Christ’! love in us we try to do His will. 4.. >-• Claudio Mdraes!* Brazil) By SPECTATOR... COMMENTS ON men And things I wish to quote from a letter I’ve received from a quiet, thoughtful, remarkably efficient industrialist who, like his illus trious father, takes time to par ticipate jn every good move ment for the public good, and who cherishes the great history of our nation. I am referring to Mr. Walter Regnery of the great Joanna Company and his father, the late William H. Reg nery of Chicago. It has been my rare fortune to count among my friends a » number of men of outstanding achievement, James C. Self, B. M. Edwards, William H. Reg nery, John M. Rivers, S. C. McMeekin, just to mention a few," and in this notable group belongs Walter Regnery, the modest but effective industrial ist." ^— : The letter from Mr. Regnery, in part, follows: “The tense times that face America today underscore the need for a strong, patriotic youth reiady, willing, and able to battle, figuratively and if need be literally, for our coun- From menus to mailings We print everything right Cards to catalogs, bills to broadsides . . . what ever your printing needs, you can count on us for quality workmanship, dependable service, reasonable cost.

Along with many other citi zens and some educators, I fear that in recent yean our edu cational systems in many sec- tions of the United States have weakened the spines and dulled the patriotism that sparked youth in other perilous times. *T am happy to say that I believe the schools in our area are above most ini preserving what was best in old-time edu ction — discipline, patriotism, real study of basic subjects. Nevertheless, I feel that we must be alert to the trend to ‘educate’ for ‘life adjustment* and ‘togetherness’ at the sacri fice of rugged individualism and independent thinking. Where ‘social promotion’ pre vails why should a student put forth effort when he knows he will be advanced to the next grade anyway? And then as an adult will he not expect the govermhent to fill his needs in stead of facing the necessity of providing for himself and his family? “Knowing that you are civic- minded, patriotic, and intensely concerned about what is best for your community, your state, and your country—and all its people—I urge you to take a few minutes of your time to read the enclosed pam phlet. Whether or not you agree with everything Mr. Rafferty says, I believe you will agree that it is worth saying in order to arouse a healthful appraisal of whether we are so busy edu cating for ‘ life adjustment’ that we forget to educate for survival, as Dr. Rafferty fears. “It will be a favor to our children and to our United States if you will think over Dr. Rafferty r s speech and discuss with other enlightened citizens and educators what can be done to preserve this lovely land of ours as it once was and — please God — will yet be again; a nation fit for heroes —serene in the knowledge of our past—confident and ready.” I hardly need to quote Dr. Rafferty, for Mr. Regnery’ has covered the ground very im pressively in few words. Quoting from Dr. Rafferty’s address in California: Speaking of Nathan Hale, who was hang ed by the British as a spy dur ing the Revolution, it is recall ed that he suffered martyrdom, declaring his regret that he had but one life to lay down for his country, Dr. Rafferty compares that with some recent surren ders by Americans. # “. . Nathan Hale could have blamed George Washington, 1 suppose. He might even have had a chance to save his neck. Perhaps it’s ^ just as well that stone ears can’t hear, nor stone eyes see, nor a stone heart beat heavily with shame for one’s countrymen . . .” The other thing should have been sublimely simple for us to get across to the children en trusted to our care. It was to teach them every day in every necessary way to mem orize and to believe and to live Decatur's great toast: ‘Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right, but our country, right or wrong.’ Had they been taught to love their country with the same passion that inspired other gen erations of American youth, they would not now be wonder, ing what all the fuss is about. They would know that their country was in danger, and that would be enough, it was enough in 1917 and 1941. It’s not enough today. Too many of them neither know nor care. It is our fault, and this is what frightens me. What will history have to say at my gen eration of educators—the gen eration at the ’30s, the ’40’s, and the ’50’s. We were so busy educating for. Jlife adjustment’ that, we forgot to educate for survival. Worse, still, we forgot that the first duty of a nation's schools is to preserve that na tion. Words that America had treasured as a rich legacy, that had sounded trumpet calls above the clash of arms and toe fury of debate, we allowed to fade from the classrooms and the consciousness of the pupils, ‘Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable ‘We halve met the enemy, and they are ours . . ‘Millions foi; defense, but not one cent for tribute ... * Our sin was greater than thU,‘- however. Patriotism feeds upon hero-worship, and we decided to abolish herpes. u Even the nursery rhymes, poor little things beloved by tions of children and which had come down to us* from time im memorial, were pronovniied too violent’ and ’aortUd’ for the children to hear until after we had tinkered with them Teach toe grand old songs. How long has It California children ed to M*ng ‘Columbia, the Gem of the Oceanr_Aad why it dropped? probably hi ment of education deckled that toe Urns and Navy forever 1 for toe Bod, While aad Btm!' oat of if aid aad and collaboration. I say that we had better thank God for the Array and Navy! And—with half the world at our throats— we had better teach our chil dren that it is not a disgrace, but a priceless privilege, to wear our country’s uniform. No wonder so many of them welsh out and squeal and turn traitor when confronted with the brutal reality of Red mili tary force and the crafty cun ning of Red psychological war fare . . . I need not comment further What I’ve quoted is the sad truth: Much of our so-called education is just a lot of piffle, over-elaboration of side-issues and “trifles.” “Life is real, life is earnest,” and to quote again, “Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achiev ing, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.” In the long ago, we learned such things as that. Not now, however; today what do we learn? I ask you. Over in France I lectured to the boys about the background of the war and our American history. Not so, this most recent war. There was no General Per shing this time, although Mc Arthur is a patriot. • • • May we lawfully cite a Gov. eraor for contempt and bring him to trill in a Federal Court? Under the present supreme court, and with such judges as come to the bench with virtual ly no training .in conistitutional law, anything may be done. But! If a Congressman or State legislator may not be arrested during the sessions except for Breach of Peace—how can a Goverifcr be arrested? He is al ways on duty, in session, as‘it were. Furthermore, a Governor embodies the Sovereign dignity of a sovereign state. Can a. Fed eral Court arrest and remove a sovereign? Under our prac tice we may not arrest and im prison the humblest member of a foreign embassy on our soil. How much more sovereign is the head of a Sovereign State? Breach of the peace is an act of physical violence, a person al affair and a Governor can only be reached by impeach ment. By parity of reasoning a Mississippi court might cite the President for participating in unlawful, unconstitutional prac tices and for instigating riots and grave breaches of the peace of Mississippi. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. This reasoning would not impress the Kennedy regime, for it is autocratic, Caesar come back. And the numerous sycaphants, like old Pilate, tremble if one says “Thou art no friend of Caesar.” That swept Pilate off his feet. We must all bow to all the Ken- nedys. The Constitution of the United States prescribes that a member of Congress “Shall be privileged from arrest during attendance of the sessions of Congress, and in going to and returning from sessions of Con gress. And shall not be ques tioned in any place for any speech or debate> in Congress.” I submit that a Governor is always on duty and is not subject to arrest even for such a thing as breach of the peace (physical violence, that means), nor may he be airested for whatever he says as Governor for he has greater official dig nity and preeminence than any member of Congress. He is clothed with the majesty of his sovereign office and is beyond action save by impeachment. Only by impeachment of his own legislature can a Governor be subjected to a trial in court.

Therefore, it is clear to me, (fra* a Govern or need not respond to the pro cess from any federal court. It seems propitious to discuuss briefly a grave question which affects all citizens of our great nation. I do not approach this as a Southerner, or as a poli. I tician, or office holder. I speak npt as a democrat or republi-1 can, but as an American who loves or great country and challenges those who repudiate our fundamental rinciples. I challenged the course of Mr.' Eisenhower in Little ftocfc; and, with greater concern, I see now the Federal octopus pre suming to -punish as a criminal the Governor of a Sovereign State for carrying out the man date of his own Legislature and people?

M., Do you remember the undivided attention ypU gave to a story-teller . . . when you first heard Cinderella, Snow White, or some gallant warrior bold? It seems 80 long ago. And yet, that attention reveals within ourselves more than dreams; it reveals a secret long ing after mysteries, after the things we do not under stand, but somehow love. Religion, in a way, is somewhat like that. Every body is religious! But, of course, everybody doesn’t call it that! Nevertheless, there is in the heart of man m secret yearning, a wish, a hope for things eternal. We express those wishes in church. And somehow God hears our wishes and consoles and explains. That is a very important part of the Church; for it is a place of consolation and under standing, a place where wishes (prayers) are heard, where the mysteries of life gain new meaning.

Without n strong Church, neither democracy nor civilisa tion can surviva. Thera ara four sound reasons why a vary peteon should attend services regularly and support tha Church. Thsy are: (1) For his own salts. (1) For his children's asks. (3) For tha saka of his community and nation. (4) For tha asks of tho Church itself, which naads Ms moral and material support.
