Jr. But the national refused te take of the communist Involvement dismissing it as scare talk. It should be borne la mind that the news media failed to check out the peculiar rale of the tro and African groups operating in They have managed to their activities without the light of public investigation being di rected at them. But it would be a mistake to regard the riots as entirely com munist Inspired. Many people who would not knowingly Join a communist front group are in directly responsible for the ter rible peril in which great com- munitiee have been placed in recent days. Actually, the REAL responsi bility for the violence and loot ing now taking place rests upon the shoulders of high government officials who have condoned and approved civil disobedience cam paigns during recent years; upon such organizations as the Nation al Council of Churches, which has been in the forefront of those urging people out into the streets to break the laws of towns and cities; upon such groups as the Methodist General Conference at Pittsburgh in April, which—in line with such “rights” leaders as Dr. Martin Luther King and Rev. Adam Clayton Powell—of ficially proclaimed that in in stances where the people con sider certain laws are “unjust,” they need not obey them (a posi tion directly in conflict with the Christian tradition of the centu ries). These are the people who opened the door for all this law lessness; the communists, as al ways, are simply gleefully ex ploiting the situation. Truly, the orgy of lawlessness imposes on many supposedly re spectable citizens the obligation to admit what they have done by their dangerous counsels. They have tossed a match into the so cial fabric of this country. Those who hape praised “civil disobe dience” and endeavored to give it religious Justification have helped turn loose the forces of hatred and disorder that are the opposite of everything that true religion teaches. NAMVIUl TtNMSUt THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Bead Lake 4:14-12 ’You will know the truth, and the trath wtl make yoa free.”.. (Jobs 8:32—RSV) 1 visited a lawyer who told me he did not have any religion be cause religion made a slave of man. I answered, “Sir, I know that it is possible for some religions to enslave men, but this is not true of Christianity.” I cited the verse of Scripture given above and others. The lawyer, however, would not accept Christ. So I lent him a copy of the New Testament and asked him to read it before my next visit three months away. When I next visited him, even before I could bring up the sub ject, he said to me: “Look, pastor, I was an atheist, but reading the New Testament converted me. I know now that I was a slave to sin and that now I am free, really free.” The lawyer became one of my best helpers in that city. He witnessed everywhere: “Now I am free. I do this and don’t do that because I want to, and not because I am obligated to. I try to do all the good I can for the love of my generous Savior.” PRAYER Almighty God, grant that all mankind may learn there is real freedom only in Jeans Christ, and that cnly in Him can each of us find Joy unspeakable. We ask in His name and for His sake. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Christian action is not of ourselves; it is the spirit of Christ ope rating in cur lives. Or idle A. Souza (Brasil) As for the looting, that feature of the rioting calls for close at tention. It can be seen that the riotous assemblies were not valid protests against depriva tion of rights; instead they were occasions for theft and destruc tion. The so-called “rights” drive has simply degenerated into a desire to steal that which belongs to other persons. Those mer chants who had their stores loot ed were deprived of THEIR vie LI rights. The insurrectionists in Harlem and Rochester showed an appal ling contempt for the elemental decencies which are necessary if a lawful society is to survive. Were it not for effective policing, the mobs in New York City un doubtedly would have invaded the great commercial districts of that city. These exercises in revolutionary, criminal violence should open the eyes of Ameri can businessmen and make them realize that the assault on prop erty has taken a new turn. The initial disorders of this summer reveal that places of business have become targets of actual attack and pillage—and on fu ture occasions, if the police are not on hand, the victims may in clude factories and the offices of corporations. The men who have urged civil disobedience have opened the door to an ugly and dangerous era in this country. They have undermined the foundations of law and order, without which civilized life cannot exist. SOCIAL SECURITY Question—I retired in 1960 when I was 65 years old. I have been receiving $100 a month old age benefits. I have been offered a job for 6 months at $200 a week. Will thisc ause me to lose all benefits for the year? Answer — No. Only for the months you actually work and earn more than $100. Regard less of total earnings for the year, no benefits will be withheld for a month in which you failed to earn over $100. Question—I am a young widow with several children and draw ing social security benefits. If I should remarry will the pay ments stop? . Answer—No. Your own benefit ends with the month that you re marry. However, the children will continue to receive their benefits. Even if your aew hus band adopts the children, they continue to receive payments. Question—I recently sent in for, and received, a copy of my work record from Baltimore and find that some of my earnings are not on the record. What should I do about it? Answer—You should take the wage record and any evidence you have, such as pay envelopes, W-2 withholding statements, and your tax returns for the missing periods to the nearest social se- curiyt office so that a proper in vestigation can be made. Question—I'll soon be HI mi filing for my social security. I’ve never been able to fat a birth certificate. How do I go about getting one? Answer—In your case we sug gest another kind of evidence— like a family Bible or a census record. Upon request, your so cial security office will give you a list of various types of docu ments that can be used to estab lish your age.
