There was a time when our lawyers were our champions of liberty, but not now. Today r our only champions are the newspapers and a few wide awake editors, iust a few. its true, but they are our hope in this day of confusion and turmoil. And we, too, are submitting. Perhaps a concerned orator, now and then, may have an dea hut most of us are mildly resolved to smile off all politi cal invasions as not worthy oi our time and trouble. Yea, verily, we are a busy- people; and we are more ab sorbed with the price of eggs than with the invasions of our liberties.

Jehovah’s Wit nesses have especially found this to he true. Local witnesses will be at tending a four-day convention in Greenville Memorial Auditor ium beginning August 1 and the number of children or teen-agers present with their their parents will he outstand ing. Hecause it has been part of their training since infancy, children attend assemblies quiet willingly, even though they w 1 11 be sitting through two and three hour sessions of Bible talks and discussions. Thev will listen attentively. e 1 i ■ . : f -- i t eves gs. > i y V ' <■ s New the I i Oil i- w ! sd n W -j! ^ SW pH * ' } -i.,m.d J i mu t sib I ii f is (c* j v s: - \ I -w : .; i i n. :: ’ f kick -,T“ 1 i,, i fij I « j I f €* W » ! f 4 I ■ * 4i Jkj4*?» ■*- 3 ; hey l*.ad ’ ,\. w w • ’. ; . - I recuik siitld. 5 ii t itude of i .dat ive'y n• •'' \ s ti-rs wins ft federal i'onrl - i. to fo.re have Mid even corudder- ed. < If cii.ur-it- u ' a.c: • h.

WILDMON In July of 19f>3 William Hen ry Nelson, a Negro who claim ed that America “never did anything for me,” stole an $18,000 shrimp boat and de fected to Cuba. Nelson became so fed up with life in Amer ica that he decided life on Fi del Castro’s sugar island would be better. Sheriff Beace A. Thompson of Key’ West, Florida, said that Nelson took the 48-foot shrimp trawler “Euna Mae” from its dock in Key West on July 20, 1 Odd and sailed it to the shores of Cuba where he wrecked it on a reef. Nelson was rescued by Cuban seamen and taken to Havana. Well sir, the other day Nel son and a couple of buddies were picked up by the Coast Guard while floating on an in- r.ertube and canvas raft off Cay Sal in the Keys. When questioned why he decided to return to this land that never did anything for him. Nelson replied that ‘‘Cuba didn’t do anything for me either.” Well, I have some news for Nelson and all others who >hare his attitude. He. nor any like him. are ever going sound Scriptural guidance. Young people note with keen interest tin* record of violence that Christendom has made for herself and find it diffi cult to overlook the materialis tic philosophy that has become so accepted among religious leaders. Many become disillu- ioned and reject any and all re ligion. The result of the training they receive has been an am azing number of Witnesses youth who willingly choose the full-time ministry as their career. Hundreds eventually go on to become missionaries. Their trip to Greenville for their convention on August 1-4 will he just another part of their training. to be happy unless some changes are made. And the reason is obvious—they are go ing at life in the wrong way! Anytime one thinks that the world owes them a living they are in for some sad dis appointments. What Nelson is going to have to learn, and anyone else who shares his at titude, is that the trouble is not in the country but in themselves. You see, the right attitude would cause us to see what we could do for our country, and our fellowman, instead of see ing what the country can do for us. And this is the point where the Galilean Fisher of men comes in. He rids us of our selfish attitude. He makes us not aware of what we can get from society but of what we can give. It is in giving that we become partners with the Giver of Life. How was it that John F. Kennedy stated it? “Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.” You see, our country is exactly what we make it. There is indeed a lot wrong with our country, hut sometimes the trouble isn’t with our country but with us. Nelson got fed up with the I’nitod States because it didn’t do anything for him. So he tried communism. He became so disgusted with communism that he risked his life to re turn to this country. Unless Nelson has changed his atti tude he might as well keep sailing because things are not going to be any better. William Henry Nelson had the wrong attitude. Many of us (io, also. That’s the reason the only hope for our country— and us—lies with the Carpen ter. He can change us .J our attitude. And if we aren’t go ing to try His way, we, too, might as well keep sailing.
