NO RATIONING OF FREEDOM
There are so many definitions for freedom. 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.

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.

—Provarba 14:8L
‘nie succefli or failure of bott na
tions and individuals is ultimately
determined by their attitude toward
the law of God. 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.

not enter upon your full inheritance
in Christ now?
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.
Under this legislatiim a veteran can

CUNCHER OF EVIDENCE.
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.

God, however, always remembers
