let the Democrats flounder and
sink in Vietnam.
When the Rods hoeame ag

at Fhang, our friend. What
ever we did or did not do, the
upshot was that < hang was
ousted; he fled to Formosa, an
island just a few miles off
from China.
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-

hip- and billions of dollars, oi
save Chang? I submit it to
you.

“WHATSOEVER
THINGS”
By DONALD E. 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.
