It is what you call an alluring word—because it means all things to all people. Ask the small boy on a spring day and he’ll answer you promptly, “No school and the fish biting.” Ask the specu lator he’ll say, “No restrictions—and a quick market.” Ask the dictator and he’ll say, “A fat neighbor wlho will not struggle against my divine right to take what 1 want;” _ Ask the pioneer and he will say, “Uncluttered horizons and a chance to make my own way.” Ask the idealist and he will say, “A new world where all may share of the boun ties of earth.” Ask the religious man and he will say, “A life in which I may worship my God according to my own conscience and obey His holy laws.” Why are there so many definitions? Because freedom is not a static thing. It is not a rule but a way of life. It is an obligation. It is determined by our relationship to other people. Only the hermit can be free alone. Freedom in a civilized community is the way of life that demands intelli gent follovrers. ' . Freedom does not include the ri^t to carry poison, to talk against our nedghbor, to judge him by his ancestors or his kindred. Only by his companions, may we ever condemn him. Freedom carries with it a belief in the dignity and sacredness of every human being. “For all—Jew and Gen tile, rich and poor—^there should be unrationed brotherhood,” is the slogan of one free community. Freedom must demon strate to the world that a diversity of culture strengthens our nation, feeding with fresh water the springs of national life. Freedom is justice and we must remember that in a court of jusSce~a man ts hoffest until proven otherwise. Judgment is not passed on what others have done. Judge not thy neigh bors by others. There are good and bad in every creed and more good than bad. One man’s freedom is another man’s freedom—rwhether it be in America, in China, in Norway or in darkest Africa. No man is really free unless all men are free. No man’s home is safe unless all men’s homes are safe. What is free-* dom to you? Think it over carefully and tl^n apply it tol your fellow men, to your brother. It must fit you both, it is not freedom.—^By Ruth Taylor. or NOT SO NEW The winged, jet-propelled, radio controlled bombs which the Germans are now using, apparently with considerable effect, on England, are not as new as many may suppose. The device was used—apparently as a try-out in this war—in Italy, where one of them went out of control and crashed into a German vessel. Nor is the principle of the radio-controlled plane or aerial bomb new. Addicts of the Sunday comics may recall that several years ago “Uncle Bim” Gump developed ai^ “aerial torpedo” or something of the sort. But even Ui Jncle Bim had predecessors—and not in the funny papers. As long ago as 1919 and before experiments were being made with raddocontrolled airplanes—probably during the last war. As in many other instances, the Germans did not invent the device. They merely applied the principles dis covered by someone else.—^The State.

Heja always right and true. THe constant factor in a world order that swings wildly from one extreme to another. Is His law, which is perfect and etemaL God is no re8j[)ecter of persons. Even Israel, His own chosen nation, found that observing God’s law meant blessing, and failure to do so brought judgment and sorrow. No mAn great and. powerful enough to ignore this rule—and none is ex empt from its operation. I. Remembering God Brings Bless ing (w. ®-9). Although Israel had not fully obeyed God’s command, and had been rebuked by ah angel of the Lord for" their failure (Judg. 2:1-6), they had come into a measure of their inheritance under Joshua. They now possessed that inher itance and entered into enjoyment of it (v. 6). It is one thing to have an inheritance, but another thing to claim it and make use of it Count less Christians have never taken out their inheritance in Christ. All they have is the earnest (Eph. 1:14) or “down payment.’’ God never meant that any child of Hia should live a poverty-strickeh spiritual life, or should go halting on first one side and then the oRier.

As the people of Israel took pos session of the land, they went for ward in the way of blessing as long as Joshua, and the elders who ra tion now in force. I shall today begin with some facts about* the so-called "G. I. Bill of Rights,” which was recently passed I by Congress and into law.

A new instruction manual of the German high command has recently found its way to neutral Sweden. It proves to be a highly interesting—and incriminating—^bit of evidence. In it the Prussian military clique looks straight ahead to another projected war by expressing concern over the de clining birthrate which could dangerously weaken the Vatef- land as a fighting nation. “Every stout boy bom in 1943,’ the manual boldly sets forth, “can become a brave jsoldier lUiy iddfe in 1963.” It added that to maintain the German nation’s fighting power “every family must . . . average . . . four dlUldren. In 1932 there were only two and today not yet three.” This can be accepted as a clincher of evidence that the Gennana have not yet made any decision .to stop wars, but are Heterinfned to recover from this one as quickly as possible and go at it again.—^The State. CONGRATULATIONS SUMTER The Rotary club of Sumter bas been awarded the Rotary International I^esident’s award for significant achievements during the past year. This award signifies that the Sumter club was outstanding among the 53 clubs in District 190. The citation came as a result of a successful well-rounded program of activities, based on the promotion of high ethical standards in business and professions, community betterment :ing#a undertakingi^and the^ advancement of international under standing and good will. One of the principal activities of the club is its work for the young people of Sumter. The club maintains a student loan fund which is now being used prin cipally to assist young ladies who are studying to be nurses. It also sponsors a‘*Boy Scout troop, does a fine work in pro moting public school class work for the^ crippled children of God, and so began its awful drifting away from God. We Americans are rightly proud of our grttA land, its mighty re sources, its line past and promising future. But wait—what ia the future to be? Oh, we aey, the most glori ous days are ahead. They may br, but oniy if wa, Uke our forefathers who established this nation, recog nize God. If we do noL America will go the way of the forgotten em pires of centuries pasL a^ that in spite of all its past achievements and ita present promise. Let us always remember that America is not some vague entity apart from us, for we, you and 1. are America, we determine what it shall be, and how it shall relate it self to God. Let us be sure that no one we know ever forgets God. It is a significant thing that tha leaders of our nation so often come from Christian homes, but it is sad that they are so frequently not Christians themselves. Their lives are shaped by the teadiing and io- fiuence of godly parents who reared them, but what will their children do. if they are not brought up In the fear and admonition of the Lord? Forgetting God ia bad enough in its immediate resultn, but just ^ead tham is^rnat and-certain diagster. m. Forsaking God Brings Indg^ ment (w. 14-18). God not only will not hold a back sliding nation guiltless, but will bring judgment even if Ho has to turn over His people to a despoiling nation. He has ixistruments ^ indi vidual and national chastisement, and Ha is ready to uso them. Notice that wherevar they went the Lord’a hand was against them. There is no place to Am from the presence of God. Anyone who thinks he can do it, should read Psalm IMil-lL tt can’t he doae» That ta mustering out pay provisions, hoe pitallzation and Insurance, vocational training and pensions already made available. Numerous bills making provision for the post war or post discharge period Insofar as veterans are con cerned were introduced and received the consideration of Congress. What I believe to. he the better features of- most of these bills were embodied in the ”0. I. Bill of Rights." Benefits are provided Immediately for those who have been discharged or released from service, but provision also Is made that the benefits may be claimed and secured witbln two years after discharge or release from the active service or the end of the war, whichever be the latter. In fact, a man may serve one enlistment In the service after the end of the war and still receive the maximum benefits subsequent to his discharge. The bill of rights comprises six titles. Title 1 provides for hospltall- xaLlon and ouUtnes procedures for making claims. 'It calls for (1) ade quate organization of the Veterans’ Administration to administer all vet-1 erans’ benefits except employment,* (2) adequate hospital facilities for the care and treatment of veterau fori disabilities or diseases incurred in | service and also for non-service dis abilities or diseases. (3) It gives the veteran the rights to have explained to him before his discharge or release from active service air the rights and benefits to which be may be entitled and an opportunity .(if he wishes) to file a claim therefor. (4) It provides adequate prosthetic appliances and necessary training to effect the great est possible benefits in the use of such appliances. (6) It protects the veteran against making any forced statements agshist his own interest, (6) calls for adequate veterans’ ad ministration contact facilities in army and navy discharge centers, (7) for prompt transfer of a veteran’s essen tial service records to the Veterans’ Administration and prompt adjudica tion of bis claims for benefits, and (8) provides the right of review in cas.e8 of irregular discharge or release from active service If the claim for review is filed wHhln 16 years after dtsebarge or dismissal. iiiBanwN MteWlikMii Tsrit) OlMlIns X^dla B.
