So then, we, a hit later, as frequently happens, we rose to defend Chang at Formosa. So we sent the greatest fleet in the world to protect Chang at Formosa. There Chang is today and there is our fleet. If we withdrew our fleet then Formosa will he swallowed ky the Red Chinese. So now: wo must either protect Chang or use that fleet to blow up Vietnam. So now, which is more important: to end the slaugh ter of American soliders at Vietnam, along with the ruth- h -- de.-truct ion of planes and hip- and billions of dollars, oi save Chang?

WILDMON I passed through your town the other day.. You didn’t no tice me because I came quite unexpected. No one knew that I was coming. I had planned it that way because if they knew they would have done things they do not otherwise normally do. And if I had told you I would he coming through, you would probably have looked for me in the wrong place. You see, I did not come by air, or even on a bus. And I don’t have a car by which to travel. I came through your town as a hobo— on the freight train. And I wasn’t dressed the way most people would think I would be dressed. I needed a shave and my clothes needed cleaning and I could have used a good meal. It was a Sunday that I pass ed through your town. I saw your church. Beautiful thing, isn’t it? Must have cost an awful lot of money. It was be fore the time for services so 1 took the privilege of looking through your church. The car pet was so soft and nice. And the pews were very comfort able. The air-conditioning was on and it sure felt nice to get in from that hot air outside. I went through your educational building, also. It is really nice. And I read on the wall where the church and educational building was paid for before you ever moved in. Boy, that is something! I didn’t stick around for the ■worship hour because I knew 7 that most folks wouldn’t take too kindly to me staying. I mean, with my dirty suit and all. I know my place and I try to keep in it most of the time. But I did manage to get a glimpse of the service on one of the television sets that was in the department store win dow downtown. Your minister was a nice, clean-cut fellow. And I heard the plea he made for the extra $90,000 so your services could be telecast over color television instead of the black and white. 'Boy, that really is something! I mean being on color TV. I went down to a little cafe in your town to eat also. I tried to bum a little money but the three I asked told me to work for a living like they do. I wished that I had had the advantages they had. Either that, or that I had taken ad vantage of the few opportuni ties I did have. But, you know, once you make a mistake no body lets you forget. I finally went to your neighbor’s house to get something to eat. I went to the back door because I knew better than to go to the front. Your neighbor told me that if I wasn’t off his property in five minutes he would call the police and then he slammed the door in my face. I didn’t get anything to eat in your town. 1 finally met a drunk in the next town and he gave me enough to buy a sandwich. And he was real nice to me. Seemed to understand. Yes, I passed through your town recently. I hope I didn’t upset anyone. I surely would like to worship with you—or better yet, have you worship with me. And maybe I will have some food to share. My name? Let’s just say I’m from Nazareth. Most folks have heard of me. Very few know me. NEED A NEW ROOF?
