I. Clinton, S. 21,19€S THE CLINTON CHRONICLE - . 7 Read Romans 1:1-16 On the human level he was born of David’s stock, but on the level of the spirit—he was declared Son of God by a mighty act in that he rose from the dead. (Romans 1:3-4. Neb.) In the Highlands of Scotland there nestles a little cottage. Far above it runs a high tension wire carrying electrical power from a northern lake to cities in the south. But in the little cottage the folk still use coal oil. There is no transformer to take that high voltage overhead and bring it down to the voltage that could be used in the cottage. In the high and holy Ood and in fallen and sinful man we see divine power in contrast with human weakness. The gospel proclaims that there is a transformer for bringing the power of God into the lives of men. Christ is the transformer. The cross of Christ is, as it were, the shaft let down from heaven to bring the power of God to man’s level. That cross is grounded in the earth where man lives. Christ’s power to save is as potent today as in the days of Paul. PRATER: We thank Thee, O God, for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ Let the power of that love flow Into our beings Gils day that life for us may be transformed by the friendship of Jesus. In His name we ask. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAT All who truly encounter the redeeming love of Christ will be transformed. Thomas T. Faichney (Ontario, SENSING THE NEWS By Thurman Seashtf Executive Vice Prsridmt Southern States Industrial Connell A GAMBLE WITH AMERICA’S FUTURE Incredible, cynical, and illus ory. These are the only suitable words to describe the Kennedy administration’s proposed 686.8 billion budget. This proposal con stitutes the biggest financial out lay in the country’s history, either in peace or warfare. And Mr. Kennedy has the audacity to tell Congress: 'T have felt obliged to limit severely my 1964 expen diture proposals.” The proposed budget Is so ir rational in character that it is for the Rural Electrification Ad ministration program, projects that had their origin a genera tion ago in New Deal '' times, would be established. Space spending would repen an as tronomical $6.1 billion. The suspicion is growing In the country that a crtical look needs to be taken at space spend ing. Landing on the moon—an administration goal — may sat isfy more of a publicity man’t purposes than a scientific need. In addition, space spending is rapidly getting to be part of the annual pork barrel. Various areas of the country are compet ing for space facilities the way they have sought river and har bor improvements in the put. This budget is so fantastic that it appears to have been written by a team of young New Frontier braintrusters who were told to put down anything they could think of. Yet the budget has to be taken seriously because there are liberals 4n Congress who will vote anything the White House wants, who will seek to pass such legislation with no thought but the next election. Yet American people haven’t lost their common sense. Surely they must recognize that the President is playing with figures —colossal figures. The average man who struggles to make a living and stay out of debt must see the terrible peril in a budget based on illusions of new reve nues, on deficits that mean crushing debt for the people of this country. For the President to use the word ’’frugality” in connection with his financial pro gram is an insult to the intelli gence of the American people and those who represent them - in Congress. What he proposes could wreck the nation. Rush G. Wilson Greneville—Rush Gary Wilson, 84, of 643 East Paris Road Ex tension, died Wednesday, Febru ary 13, at 6:15 p. m. at his home following six weeks of declining health and a sudden attack. Born in Laurens County, he was a son of the late William Wil son and Payne Wallace Wilson. biiMkitut fm* LOS ANGELES CHICAGO I • BOSTON LONDON l m: ( IIKISTI \\ S< i i:\ck Monitou NTffiNA’lONAl Interesting Accurate Complete lutsfnetiwiel News Ceverete Th« Christian Seiance Monitor On* Norway St., Boston 15, Mass.

This bud get is a spend and elect budget, is a spend and elect budget, a budget that is an exercise in poli tics not fiscal planning. If Mr. Kennedy’s proposed tax cuts were accepted by Congress, the country would have—as Sen. Harry F. Byrd pointed out Janu ary 17th—“the greatest peace time deficit in history.” Thus the $98.8 billion budget is a prescrip tion for national bankruptcy. To begin with, it is being wide ly and accurately described as a “gambler’s budget” or a “Las Vegas” budget. Mr. Kennedy has made the guess that with tax cuts the “growth rate” of the United States will soar and reve nues will increase. But this is an assumption, not a prudent cal culation. Such an assumption cannot be made. Time and again, changes in the economy produce dips that cannot be ac counted for in advance. For Mr. Kennedy to base his budget on great expectations of economic growth makes no more sense than for the average citi zen to #uy a $6,660 automobile in the belief that a maiden aunt may die and leave him the money. An individual’s family economy cannot be based on guesswork. Most certainly, a na tion’s finances cannot be develop ed on the basis, of a gamble. This aspect of the budget aside, there is still the matter of appal ling waste and spendthrift plan ning. Mr. Kennedy says he is attempting to hold the line. But the proposal reads otherwise. The President wants the federal gov ernment to get into the field of commuter transportation for big cities—to the tune of $500 million. He proposes that the nation build a high-voltage power line from the Pacific Northwest to South ern California for $35 million more than a private group is ready and willing to spend to construct such a facility. He asks that the Alliance for .Progress receive a quick shot in the arm of $200 million. Overall spending on Latin giveaways would amount to $1 billion. The foreign aid total he suggests is $3.75 bil lion. Increased spending can be noted all aljng the line.
