Lukstat: Reorganization
Can Solve Postal Problems
With reorganization and me
chanization, the U. S. Post Of
fice Department can be operated
on a pay-as-you go basis, Ric
hard Lukstat told Clinton Ro-
tarians last week.

Office in Washington, D. C. A

married to the former Virginia
Payne of Clinton.
Lukstat said, “We have had a
19th century postal system, try
ing to keep up with 20th Cen
tury problems and growth. Our
problems have been brewing for
a long time and the Postal De
partment has been neglected. As
a result we have been operat
ing with antiquated procedures.
“Postal employes didn’t have
a lot to look forward to. Every
thing had to go through Congress
lor approval. Congress has a lot

of problems and hasn’t been
able to give the Postal Depart
ment the attention it needs.

“Also, we have had problems
with continuity of toplevel lead
ership. The Postmaster Gen
eral’s position is appointive and
we’ve had six Postmaster Gen
erals in the past 10 years."
Lukstat pointed out that the
Post Office Department has 750,
000 employes and moved 82 bil
lion pieces of mail last year.
The department had an expendi
ture of $7 billion and operated
$1 billion in the red.
Concerning imechanization,
Lukstat said $51 million is being
spent on technology this year.
He said there are several pilot
programs in operation, de
signed to sort and dispatch mail
through the use of newly de
veloped equipment.
He said, “ Mechanization
won’t put anyone out of a job
we currently have a 23 per
cent turnover in personnel so
we don’t think anyone will lose
a job because of mechani
zation."
He said, “If we can get the
department reorganized---and
I think we will---we can have a
good system.
Reorganization, of course,
isn’t an immediate cure for all
ills. It will take time and
patience but we think that by
1978, the department can be on a
pay-as-you-go basis and will”
provide better service and give
the employes better working
conditions and opportunities."

“For by grace are ye saved through im.^.,..
Eph. 2:8; While this scripture states very plainly
that we are saved “by grace,” it does not sur that
we are saved by grace alone, or grace only. In tact
this verse makes it plain that there are
tors, “by grace are ye saved through faith.”
two sides or parts, two factors stated here.
“By grace” is the divine side, this is God’a part.
“Through faith” is the human side, this it man's
part.
Everything that God has ever done for man,
He did it by grace. Grace is the un-merited favor
of God. We can see the pace of God being ex
pressed in the first promise made by God after
Adam and Eve had sinned; when He said to the
serpent, “I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it
shall bruise thy head, and then thou shalt bruise
his heel.” Gen. 3:16; This was a reference to,
and a promise that Christ would come to redeem
man.
“The law was given by Moses, but grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ.” Jon. 1:17 The great
est gift ever bestowed upon poor fallen man is the
privilege and opportunity of being saved. Having
his sins washed away in the blood of Christ, and
regaining in Christ what was lost in Adam.
By the grace of God we were given a plan for
our salvation which makes it possible for every
one who so desires, to be saved. By grace, this
plan had its origin in the mind of God, and by
grace God sent His Son to execute it “For God
sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be
saved.” Jon 3:17;
But if yve are saved by grace alone, then all'
men will be saved, “For the grace of God that
bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, . .
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and world
ly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and
godly, in this present world.” Tit 2:11-12; While
this scripture teaches us that by grace, salvation
has been made possible for all men. It also teach
es us that it (salvation) is made available through
teaching.
As far as man is concerned, the grace of God
can be in vain. “We then, as workers together
with him, beseech you also that ye receive not
the Grace of God in vain. 2 Cor. 6:1; Salvation
or eternal life is that the gift of God through Jesus
Christ Our Lord.” Rom. 6:23; But to constitute
a gift, a number of things are necessary; a giver,
a gift, and a receiver: God is the giver, eternal
life is the gift offered, but man will still have to
accept the gift. This we do, when we through
faith, “Obey from the heart that form of doctrine
which was delivered you . . . Being then made
free from sin, ye became the servants of right-
ousness.” Rom. 6:17-18; We urge you to accept
“through faith” what God “by grace” has pro
vided and offers.
