Hie pur|)ose of this brief re
view of historical facts (in

the American people of our —
as well as our leaders’ — past
record of forgiving and for

Communism, whose leaders,
from I enm through Kosvgm.

The Way It Is
I enm. on April S, 1920, gave
a prophetic interview to the
Cerman newspaper. Neue Zur-
cher Zeitung. “On the basis of
observations gathered during
mv years in exile.” said I.enin,
“the ‘cultured’ class of the
capitalist countries of Western
Hurope and America, i.e., die
ruling classes, the financial
aristocracv, the bourgeoisie
and the idealistic democrats,
should be regarded as deaf-
mutes and treated according
Iv. . .
“ I he\ will grant us credits
which will fill the coffers of
die communist organizations in
their countries, while they en
large and improve our arma
ments industry by supplying all
kinds of wares, which we shall
need for future attack against
our suppliers.” Yes, from the
great bird itself (m the Aesop
fable) have* come the feathers
to detch the arrow being made
to pierce the eagle’s heart!
The Biq Question 1968
Through 25 years, while our
hbertv has been guarded by
Presidents, State Departments,
Defense Departments and the
Armed Services, we have seen
a pun\ , dirt\ . ragged but dedt
cab d band of ruffians rise up
on the world stage and with
I S help become a threat to
(mi survival lie laid! has
been the fault of the people of
America — not just the lead
ers.

There was this young boy once. He
loved to draw. He would take his
pencil and a piece of paper and he
would draw anything around him that
caught his fancy. Once that young
boy was asked to draw a picture of a
horse by an elderly gentleman. When
he had finished with the drawing the
gentleman was so pleased with the
boy’s work that he gave him a whole
dollar! And that was back when a
dollar was a dollar.
That seemed to spur the youngster
on. He kept drawing. He worked at
it. He loved it. He gave himself to
it. Soon he had landed himself a job
with a newspaper as a cartoonist. He
was real proud of himself when he got
that job. But while he thought it was
something to get excited about, one
of his superiors didn’t see it that way.
The editor of the paper where he
worked in Kansas City called him in
one day. He said he wanted to talk
to the young man about his future.
Being quite frank with the young car
toonist about his job and his future,
he said to him: “You don’t have any
talent. Why don’t you get out of the
drawing business and into something
where you have a chance to succeed ?’’
Well, the young fellow thought it
over. Gave some serious considera
tion to doing just that, quitting his
drawing and going into another line
of business. For he did want to be a
success. And the editor should know
about talent. But after considerable
thought, he decided to stay in the
drawing business even if he didn’t
“have any talent.’’
You will find people like that occa
sionally. People who won’t quit, peo
ple who won’t give up even if others
think they are doomed to failure. No
one has ever found the magic formula
that separates those who refuse to
quit from those who give up at the
first setback. A lot of time, how
ever, it can be nothing more than the
spirit of the Creator driving them on.
For sometimes there is not a single
person in this whole world who be
lieves in us other than Him.
That’s one of His traits. He believes
in us even when no one else does. He
believes in us even when we don’t be
lieve in ourselves. That’s what made
Him face that ugly cross. He believed
in our goodness when we displayed
our sinfulness. He never gave up on
us. He still is counting on us to this
very day. He is disappointed a lot
of times, but He never gives up. When
everyone else has counted us out, He
is still pulling for us.
That young artist who “had no
talent” but wouldn’t quit went on to
great heights. His enterprises today
rake in more than one hundred mil
lion dollars a year. His name was Walt
Disney.
No one can remember the name of
the Kansas Citv editor.
FIVE STAR FEATURES
The leadership we have been
getting — in undoubtedly the
most fateful period in U.S.
history — is a precise reflec
tion of the quality and quan
tity of citizenship manifested
by the people.
z\nd now, out of the politics
of October and November 1968
will come new leadership. But
will it also bring a new dedica
tion by 200 million Americans
to assume all the responsibili
ties of citizenship? This is the
most important question. The
answer will affect our nation’s
destiny and may shape the
course of human history for
centuries to come.
