By EARL WILSON
In our modern homes we have come to take the electric
light for granted; but we must remember that the only
light to behad in the days of our Lord came from smalt oil
lamps that they carried in their hands. Each person who
travelled in the dark was compelled to take his own light
with him. Jesus often used these lamps as illustrations for
his sermons.
Because of the lack of lights we might think that they did
not worship at night, but this is not so. We read in Acts
where Paul preached until midnight one night. How did
they see? In the place of worship they hung a large brass
holder from the center of the roof. Each person who came
to worship would put his lamp in one of the holders. It is
easy to see that before anyone arrived the church was in
total darkness. Each time another worshipper arrived his
lamp added more light. By the time they were ready to begin
their worship service the building was very well lighted.
This must have been in Paul’s thinking when he said,
"For ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the
Lord; walk as children of light.” (Eph. 5:8). These Ephesian
Christians were living in a time of spiritual darkness. Not
many had yet received the knowledge of God through faith
in Jesus Christ. Here Paul is encouraging these Christians
to be a light wherever they go. One Christian would not be
much light, but he would be a start. Each time another
Christian was added to the church the darkness of sin was
dispelled more.
In today’s modern world it is extremely difficult to dis
tinguish between a person who is a Christian and one who
is not. This is true because the Christian refuses to let the
light of Christ shine in his own personal life. Jesus said,
"Let your light so shine that men may see your good works
and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.”

TOURING THE 1930’s, most of
A-A the musical world was
playing a waiting game ... Famed
Austrian pianist Artur Schnabel
was slowly recording his way
through the Beethoven sonatas—
Schnabel would no more hurry a
recording session than he would a
Beethoven tempo- and each new
disk was at\event... The whole
series ranked as a masterpiece.
Schnabel died in 1951, and his
old 78 rpm records soon became
obsolete in the LP age.”
So commented Time Magazine
of the incomparable recording ses
sions between 1932 and 1937 dur
ing which Schnabel recorded the
32 Beethoven piano sonatas . . .
Schnabel’s performances were de
scribed in the same article as
“something so compelling that
mere perfection would seem pal
try by comparison”... For Angel,
the “Great Recordings of the Cen
tury” technicians have remastered
and technically improved the orig
inal 78's in a 13-disk set that in
cludes a booklet containing the
original Gramophone Society an
notations by Eric Blom.
The great Angel album featur
ing the inimitable Artur Schnabel
is entitled “Beethoven: the Com
plete Sonatas for Piano” and it is
without a doubt one of the finest
pieces of musical art ever per
formed on wax ... Lovers of the
classics will find many an hour of
enjoyable solitude in this skillful
and expert interpretation of the
great composer . . . It comes in
hi-fi only, not stereo, but is a last
ing impression of the world’s
greatest music that should find a
welcome place on the shelf of
every noteworthy musical library.

PRESIDENT-NATIONAL
EDUCATION PROGRAM
Searcy, Arkansas
What Goes At Grass Roots?
Columnists such as Alsop, Lipp-
man, Reston and others, who cus
tomarily mark off the conserva
tives as not even there at all (only
the extremists), must remain
rather shaken after the Republi
can National Convention. Many
of their readers still do not un
derstand why the bulk of writers
and commentators and pollsters
who directed their barrage against
Mr. Goldwater could have insisted
that voters were not behind the
conservative candidate, even tho
convention delegates were there
because of primary victories in
some instances. Wishful thinking,
do you suppose?
Apparently these communicators
are out of touch with the grass
roots. Such’ observers are unaw
are that citizens have acquired a
new ability to evaluate issues. We
have been in the front lines in
this business for nearly 30 years.
At first, the public was genuinely
receptive to the conservative plea.
Many were amazed, yet apprecia
tive, that anyone would have the
gall to oppose the collectivization
of America. The past few years
have brought bitter attacks from
the far left, but these have not
stopped the great surge of re-ed
ucation that is reviving America.
A good example of orientation
in American princiules is that be
ing encouraged by the Public Af
fairs Department of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
One of the Chamber’s recent
“Here’s How” reports describes
the Valparaiso, Ind., Chamber of
Commerce as having sponsored
several series of training sessions
in their area in a six-month per
iod. On conclusion, 130 graduates
of the 8-session series were honor
ed at their annual dinner, and this
led to formation of new groups
throughout the community. No
experts were called in. Everything
Was voluntary and local.
Their annual program explained
it this way: “An economy is the
sum totak of the work and the will
of the people in it. Untess Ameri
cans understand how our economy
works and what it takes to make
and keep it strong, stable and
growing, we may not be able to
meet the Communist challenge. If
our free competitive enterprise
system is weakened, our most ef
fective weapon in the cold war is
sabotaged, our biggest advantage
is lost and the balance of world
power may be tilted to the side of
the Communists.”
Sometimes in the Chamber’s
public affairs program, as in
Rapid City, S. D., an individual
asks himself what he can do about
it and answers his question with
personal action. There George
Moses, a tailor who is largely self-
educated, got hold of Chamber of
Commerce material and helped set
up a speakers’ bureau. He joined
the Toastmasters to learn to
speak, then went out and spoke to
100 audiences last year. He also
has moderated courses on politics,
economics, and Communism for
119 consecutive weeks and is said
to still be going strong, intending
to carry on indefinitely. This kind
of dedication is giving the people
a new look at public affairs and
citizenship responsibility.
In Gastonia, N. C., the Chamber
materials were used to spark a
series on economic education in
classes at Ashley High School.
This developed because the local
Chamber had invited teachers to
join discussion groups it sponsored
for the businessmen. Some very
spirited classroom discussions re
sulted from use of Chamber ma
terials in history and economics
groups, with students taking a
piercing look at Communism and
comparing it with the American
system. Their conclusion was that
free enterprise must be defended
and supported. It is the world’s
best, they said.
Adult Education, Too
Regular adult education courses
have also been provided through
this program. At St. Louis, for
example, two adult education cen
ters as a start each formed a
group of eager students wanting
to learn how to be politicians at
the grass roots. An industrial re
search chemist was the moving
spirit. By the second semester, 12
school districts and two YMCA’s
had joined in starting classes.
The truth of the matter is that
the principles of Americanism as
opposed to Communism have been
explored by so many at the grass
roots that tremendous progress
has been made in real citizenship
education. Not every collectivist
has been converted, to be sure, but
the amazing progress that has
been made is attested by the cur
rent resurgence of the conserva
tive spirit in party councils. The
next step, naturally, will be to
take as much of this to the White
House and to the Congress as
possible.

erica’s debt burden avei*aged 14
per cent of family income.
Americans are finding ways to
expand borrowing for everything
from appliances to college tuition,
to trips abroad. Many use mort
gage loans for non-housing pur
poses, an action that one econo
mist argues ‘tends to exhaust as
sets on which further borrowing
can be done’. Borrowing against
life insurance policies increased
$562,000,000 in this year’s first
four months, up nearly 6 per cent
from a year earlier.
About half of America’s fam
ilies owe installment debts. And
many ‘are in debt right up to the
hilt’, argues Alan Greenspan, pres
ident of a New York economic
consulting firm. A quarter of the
nation’s 60,000,000 families have
at least a third of their annual
income committed to paying off
debts, he figures. He believes that
‘there’s little question' we’re ap
proaching levels of effective debt
capacity’, above which many fam
ilies would find it tough to take
on further debts and, at the same
time, keep up their payment
schedules.
To be sure, personal savings are
also at record levels, and nearly
equal the nation’s private debts,
which last year reached $378 bil
lion. But the persons with sub
stantial savings, of course, rarely
are those paying off debts.”
How true; those going further
into debt are probably not in
creasing their account in a Sav
ings institution;' they are just
“riding high, wide and hand
some”, as someone remarked.
More or less they nave the at
titude of the spenders in the
time of Louis XV, as I recall the
French profligate ”t.fter us the
deluge.” Yea, verily!
May we hope to avert a deluge?
Raymond Moley, explaining the
significance of Goldwater’s tri
umph over the opposition says:
“A protest against a domination
of the Republican party by liberal
Republicans of the East and the
Northeast has grown greater and
greater during the Eisenhower
years and since. As I made clear
in this space 2 -weeks ago, it has
been most notable in those areas

where there has been the most
marked growth in population, in
industrial development, and in
real wealth—in the Southeast, the
mountain states and on the Pacific
cofcrt. It is no mere coincidence
that it was the delegates from
those areas who dominated the
convention and preferred Gold-
water as the candidate,
■But this protest, which has
grown into a veritable party rev
olution, had its beginnings well
before Goldwater entered the Sen
ate and years before he became
a candidate for the Presidential
nomination. His part in this
change has been in innumerable
speeches over the country and in
his articulation of the principles
in which these dissidents believe.”
If you think I am a severe critic
of our Federal Supreme Court
hear what one of the Justices says
—he is a member of the court,
mark you:
“To put the matter plainly,
there is nothing in all the history
of this Court’s decisions which
supports this Constitutional rule.
The Court's Draconian pronounce
ment, which makes unconstitution
al the legislatures of most of the
50 states, finds no support in the
words of the Constitution, in any
prior decision of the Court, or in
the 175 year political history of
our Federal Union.” ‘
A headline in a great weekly
says: “How Americans labor in
the furious pursuit of leisure.”
Now, now; unfortunately that is
true: we can no longer enjoy
hours of calm with a good book;
life is full of trivialities known as
pleasure.
“Weekends are generally thought
of as days set aside for leisure.
Leisure, though it has many defi
nitions, generally implies a rather
peaceful kind of activity or no ac
tivity at all. But either weekends
will have to be reexamined or the
word leisure will have to be re
defined once more. Pease is no
where in the weekend picture—
or, if it is there, lies somewhere
in a corner obscured by dust and
turmodl.
The weekenders golf, ski, bowl,
and boat. They dance, tell jokes,
and make love. They drink stand
ing up and sitting down.They go
to theaters, art galleries, and con
certs. They plan with their child
ren, go to church, and sell dented
brass candlesticks at P. T. A. baz
aars. They build things, repair
things paint things, and plant
things. Many a business official
has said he’d be pleased if the
weekday people threw themselves
into their work with half that
much spirit. - «
The weekender pursues com
panionship with a furious energy
that sometimes looks a little like
panic. He collects friends as one
might collect stamps. He knows it
would be pleasant to have a small
gang of really close friends (and
he sometimes thinks wistfully of
his school days when he did ),
but what he wants today is a big,
gay crowd of likeables.
He emphasizes quanity mort
than quality. Subconsciously,per
haps, he feels there is saftey in
numbers. The more friends he has,
the smaller is the likehood that a
Saturday night will find him not
’doing anything’. One of his worst
nightmares is that of being alone
whale others socialize.”
