DECISION AGAINST FREE SPEECH CURBS . . .
Twitchell Takes Supreme Court to Task
. . . GIVES ELMER REASON TO GRIPE

TWITCHELL VS. DOUGLAS
“About the only fellow who can
get into trouble easily today in
America is the one who believes
In law and order, pauses for sec*
ond wind now and then and be
lieves there are limits to breach
of the peace,” declares Elmer
Twitchell. He has been going over
the recent supreme court decision
by a 5 to 4 vote against curbs on
hatred, violence and rabble rous
ing tactics even when they bring
on riots.

Grateful for work, if there be work to do.
And if that work be loft they fight their fear
With courage, and with hope which they renew
At the clear source from which all comfort springs:

That hitherto the Lord has blessed, and now
Surely there will be found a way again

"It was another one of those
photo finishes due to a strong
stretch ran by Justice Doug
las," declares Elmer. “Bill,
speaking for the majority opin

no right to curb speeches no
matter how violent or full of

"We are leaning over backwards

a pat on the back, a license to op

You would think they are the back

his voice down, respected the police

"The five justices held that no

it was clearly shown that they

And since the case lu question

would seem that these jurists
classified such violence as
merely an Inconvenience and

The
Fiction A PRINCE CAN LAUGH
By
Richard H. Wilkinson
Corner
A WEEK after I established resi
dence in Seabrook, Ray
Quimper, my next door neighbor
took time off to drive me around
the town and show me the points of
interest. Toward evening he stop
ped his car before a driveway that
led up to a huge brick house on top
of Drybridge Hill. It was the only
brick building in town and could be
seen for miles around. I had
wondered about
it since the day
of my arrival.
“The home of
Prince Alex
ander Moisevich
Deborin,” he explained.
I looked at him curiously, sensing
that this was a proud moment for
Ray. He had saved the brick house
until last, like a child relishing the
last morsel.
“Of course," Ray explained
further “he has a city home too.
But the fact is he spends the
greater part of his time out
here. He craves solitude.”
“Are you sure? I mean, wouldn’t
it be fitting to let the man know
you’re glad to have him as a citi
zen?”
“We’ve tended to that,” Ray said
importantly. “Three days after his
arrival a committee made up of
leading citizens waited on the
prince and extended him a formal
welcome.” He regarded me sagely.
“We’re smart enough not to an
tagonize the man by pestering him
to death.”
On the day of winch I write I was
removing the storm windows from
my house, for spimg was near and
the day was bright and warm. The
prince came strolling along my
street and stopped, oddly enoug v
at the end of my drive to watch, x
perceived him from the corner of
my eye, though gave no indication
that I had seen. After a moment
or two, much to my satisfaction, he
turned in at the drive and came
slowly toward me. At this precise
moment the stepladder on which I
was standing tilted precariously and
the window I was removing threat
ened to tumble to the ground.
I uttered a cry of alarm,
turned, perceived the prince as
if for the first time, and shouted
to him for aid. Involuntarily,
he leaped forward and steadied
the ladder until I had de
scended.
“Phew!” I grinned. “That was a
close call.”
"It was indeed,” he replied.
"Would you mind holding the lad
der for me on this window over
here?” He seemed a little sur
prised, but agreed to lend his as
sistance. He proved as good a
helper as I could have asked for.
Three windows I removed while he
steadied the ladder and helped me
lower them to the ground. We
chatted amiably about the weather.
P RESENTLY the task was done
and I turned to him, grinning.
“Thanks a lot. I don’t know how
I would have managed without
you.”
"Really?” He seemed to appreci
ate my compliment. “Frankly, I’ve
enjoyed it, not only the work, but
our little visit.” He hesitated. “You
are new in town, aren’t you?”
“Comparatively,” I said. “It’s a
mightly nice town. Folks are all
like yourself. Ready and willing to
lend a hand when help is needed.”
I smiled happily. “The fact that
I know your name, Prince Alexan
der, proves a little theory of my
own.”
He stared in astonishment.
“You know who I am? You
knew when you asked me to
help remove the windows?”
I nodded. “Your philosophy and
mine have a good deal in common.
Prince. And that is, that you’re no
different from the rest of us. I’d
even venture to say that you are
quite unhappy living up there in
your castle so far removed from
everybody. To prove that I am
right, I’m going to ask you a ques
tion. Tomorrow I’m going fishing.
How would you like to come along?”
“I’d like to very much,” he said.
"But we must keep it a secret from
the rest of the people. It would be
a pity to destroy their illusion.”
I agreed, winking at him know
ingly, and the prince and I then
and there shared a hearty laugh.

Conquest of Death
Lesson for June 19, 1949
Story Book Kitty Pinafore
SCRIPTURE: Mark 18:1-8: John 81:
1-17: I Corinthians 15:12-19.
DEVOTIONAI. READING: Luke 84:
81-23.
PUZZLE NO. 3
D OCTORS TALK about conquer
ing death, but they never do.
All they can manage is to put it
off a little. In all the long sad
story of mankind there is only one
absolute conquest of death. It hap
pened on the first Easter morning,
and it was a turn
ing point in the his
tory of the world.
The few lines about
the Resurrection, in
our New Testa
ment, would not
cover the front page
of this newspaper.
We do not know all
we want to know.
But those few lines Dr. Foreman
tell us enough to
set us singing, they are a solid fouiv
dation for a scaring faith.
The Mighty Act of God
W E shall be disappointed if we
expect the Gospels to "ex
plain” the Resurrection. If there is
anything the stories show clearly.
It is that the first persons who knew
of the Resurrection were confused
and shaken by it. The disciples had
not expected anything like this,
and they may not fully have under-
«tood what was going on.
What they were sure of,
what they could not deny, was
first of sll that Christ rose from
the dead, and also that It was
God who raised him from the
dead. God had beaten the one
unbeatable power — death.
Death, the universal conqueror,
turned out for once to be the
conquered.
It is only those who can believe
in an all-powerful God who can
fully believe in the Resurrection.
It Is The Lord
W HAT MANNER of person was
Jesus, after that first Easter
morning? There were some differ
ences hard to describe, and in fact
not described, only hinted at. You
notice that at times it was not easy
to recognize him at first. Paul re
fers to Christ’s “glorious body” and
surely there must be a glory in a
person who has actually proved too
strong for death to hold—a glory
such as even Christ, before Cal
vary, had hot shown. And yet—and
yet, it was the same Jesus they had
always known.
No Ghost
B Y NIGHT, In many a "seance,’ 1
mediums profess to get in
touch with the spirits of the dead.
If you could believe the spiritists,
Shakespeare and Queen Victoria
and innumerable other famous
people, have come back and talked
from beyond the grave. But the
thing that makes the Christian
church more than doubtful about
such performances, is that some
how the dead-and-come-back genius
is never a genius any more. Neither
Shakespeare nor any other famous
person has said anything worth
saying through a “medium.” And
even these feeble ghosts cannot
endure the daylight. They have to
come at night.
How different were the com
ings of Jesus! There was
nothing weird or uncanny about
him. Around the snpper table,
or on an afternoon walk, or out
on the lake shore under the
morning sun ... never the poor
mumbling ghost of a seance,
never any stupid trifles from
his lips, but words of truth and
comfort which the church
cherishes as among the best
from our Lord’s mind. Jesus’
resurrection is not the story of
the survival of a ghost, still less
the mere return of a revived
and walking corpse.
It is the story of a Divine Person
who conquered death, and who
came back from that conquest in
power and majesty, yet with all
the tenderness, love and brilliance
he had ever shown.
Our Hope in Him
P AUL (in I Cor. 15) makes it
clear that our hope of life-
beyond-death grows right out of
Christ’s resurrection. The enemies
of Christ would have given their
right eyes to stop the mouths of
the men who told that story, and
to prove it a lie.
Bnt they could never do it.
Yon cannot well stop people
tiom believing what they have
seen with their own eyes. So
our hope of eternal life is not
just a hope.
As Paul says, if that were all, we
Ihould be miserable men.
