Religion - Backbone
10: 32-33
* CLARENCE K. ANDREWS
Factor, First Baptist Church
"Whosoever therefore shall con-
faas me before men, them will I
alao confess before my Father
vWch is in heaven. But whosoever
■hail deny me before men, him will
I alao deny before my Father
wMeh is in heaven."
This great passage comes to us
aat oí the heart of the charge which
the Lord Jeeus gave to the Twelve
arben he sent them out on their
ftrat great mission. Specifically, it
Comes from that part of the Lord's
aharge which points out the great
perils which the disciples must en-
aounter (Matt. 10: 16-39). The
Lard did not shrink from warning
them at length of the many per-
aecutions and perils which would
aartainly come upon them. But the
Lord paused to tell his riisciples,
on the other hand, that they need
not fear any person nor anything
that could be done to them; that
the same God who marked the
^s fall and who numbered
very hairs on their heads
wouldnbe with them and that who-
aver boldly and bravely confessed
Him before a gainsaying and per-
aacuting world would have his own
name confessed before God and
the holy angels (Matt. 10: 28-33).
That is to say, the Lord is here
amking a very definite appeal for
backbone in His religion. And pre-
eisely that is one of the greatest
needs of the present hour. Consid-
er these things:
We do not need a new Bible, but
1|a grace and grit to stand by the
ild Book of God.
What marvels we would accom-
plish tf we would do just that! Just
ply accepting God at His word
wonderfully transform any
i's life and make him a mag-
netic witness for the cause of
righteousness.
Again, we do not need another
8avior and Lord; but we need the
courage to step out before men and
devils and angels and confess the
of our Christ and take our
for Him.
Do wc recall what Luther said
when they sought to persuade him
not to go to Worms? And when
they told him that Catholics would
burn him as they had burned John
Huas: "I'd go," said the great hero
of the faith, "if there were a devil
on every tile of every roof of the
bouse in Wurtemburg."
Why should we thus dare to con-
fess the name of Christ before
BMB?
Some reasons are as follows:
The simple truth of God de-
mands it. We know this truth about
Jeaua and we know it is God's
troth about God's Son and our
Savior!
Both our consciences and our
character demand that no cow-
ardly compromises be made—not
on this matter! None!
It is the only way to solve our
perplexing problem and come to
real peace of mind and heart.
The future destiny of all of us
binges right here—will we come
over on Christ's side and give him
a chance to stand for us before
God on that great day?
It is God's simple and noble plan
with all us—"whoever confesses
me before men!" "Whosoever
would be my man must break away
and come out and take his stand
for me!" That is God's plan!
have tried every other remedy, now
let us give God's prescription a
chance to prove itself in our lives!

JAPAN:
Fnurth-Rater
Even as former Premier Hideki
Tojo lay quiet and ashen in an |
American army hospital with
ugly self-inflicted bullet wound be- CROPS:
low the heart, conqueror Douglas
MacArthur told newsmen that the
once proud country which the
stricken war lord had led into con-
flict now was a fourth rate nation.
Hoping to keep Tojo alive so
as to be able to question him
on the affairs he directed during
his wartime premiership, Amer-
can doctors applied all tbe treat-
ment of modern medical sci-
ence, including blood trans-
fusions. But as they labored,
Tojo, having accepted full re-
sponsibility for the war,
groaned: "I am going to die
anyway so don't go to any
trouble over me."
Tojo shot himself as American
troops began a round-up of 40 Japa-
nese suspected of war crimes, in-
cluding all of the members of the
former premier's cabinet. Besides
the Nipponese politicians, generals
and prison camp attendants, sever-

cently a clash of British and Yugo-

Recent Ruling
Is Explained
COLLEGE STATION, Sept. 28
—A new government ruling re-
quires that a farmer grade his
home-produced meat or have it
graded when it is stored in his
freeser locker.
Roy W. Snyder, Extension Serv-
ice meat specialist who also oper-
ates a freeser locker for the Texas
A. and M. College, explains that
currently al! meats must be grad-
ed in order to be sold under the
proper ceiling prices. And since
some of the meat might wet into
commercial channels, the locker
plant operator must grade t'.ie
meat as he breaks the carcass.
Once meat has been divided into
letail cuts, grading becomes most
difficult.
If a farmer cuts up and puck-
ages his own meat to be sharp fro-
zen and stored in his own locker
for his own use, he need not grade
it or surrender ration point.- for
it. But if he takes any meat from
his locker and sells it, he must
collect ration points for the meat
according to its point value and
turn these in to his local War Price
and Rationing Board, Snyder ex-
plains.
BUT KOI
Every woman wants to retain
her youth. And so does the draft
board.
We'd rather serve a lot of people
than have a lot of servants.
Should early retarded plantings
mature rapidly enough to head off
killing fall frosts, the U. S will be
assured of another banner crop this
year, the department of agriculture
reported. Under favorable condi-
tions. production would equal the
record 1942 and 1944 wartime output.
Added to the prospective record
wheat crop of 1,152,270,000 bushels
and oats harvest of 1,570,356,000
bushels corn production was esti-
mated at 3,069,055,000 bushels if late
maturing acreage escaped damag-
ing fall weather. During August,
the crop showed about a 225,000,000
bushel increase, bringing the pros-
pective final yield up near the 1944
high.
Favorable August weather also
improved the outlook for potatoes,
tobacco, soybeans, grain sorghums,
tame hay, dry peas and beans. On
the other hand, heavy boll weevil
were also being sought in con- ¡ infestation lowered estimates for
nection with propaganda broadcasts.
In pronouncing Japan a fourth-rate
nation now, MacArthur pointed to
the complete defeat of her mili-
tary forces and the destruction of
much of her industry. Though Nippon
may assume commercial leadership
in the Orient, he said, her confine-
ment to the home islands will pre-
vent her from returning to the
ranks of the major powers.
Regarding the Emperor, Mac-
Arthur explained that he was
both a religious and temperal
leader, and that while America
would not interfere with Japan's
spiritual life, the mikado was
subject to (J. S. dictates in polit-
ical affairs By surrendering,
the Emperor furnished evidence
of a reversion from the military
clique which had encompassed
him to a new liberal influence.
BIG FIVE:
Discuss Italy
Formulation of a peace treaty for
Italy headed up the agenda of the
council of foreign ministers of the
Big Five meeting in London to lay
the groundwork for the reshaping
of the map of Europe In dealing
with Italy, disposition of her former
African colonies and Mediterranean
islands poses the most difficult prob-
lems, though settlement of Yugo-
slavia's claim to Trieste also
abounds with complications.
Regarding the Italian colonies, the
U S. reportedly favors the estab-
lishment of an international trustee-
ship over the territories, with ad-
ministration left in Italian hands.
Thus, while being given an oppor-
tunity of redeeming itself. Italy also
would bear the administrative ex-
penses and utilize her colonists to
reconstruct war damage.
At the gateway to the Dardanelles
straits leading to the Black sea,
Italy's Dodecanese islands In the
Mediterranean loom as a strategic
key in near eastern geopolitics.
Friendly to Britain, which possesses
heavy interests in tbe region,
Greece has sought to regain the vi-
tal islands at the same time Russia
has striven to neutralize the en-
trance to the Black sea.
Italian held with a large Slavic
population, Trieste has long been
CROP INSURANCE:

sured commodities, a total of 104,444
applications covering 100,300 farms
wss written by the Federal Crop In-
surance corporation on 1945 crops,
according to the department of ag-
riculture. Over 05,000 applications
covering 113,183 farms in the 18 pro-
ducing states were received for cot-
ton.
Applications for insurance on
wheat planted last spring totaled

flax 31,111 covering 38,072 farms.

cotton production, while hurricane
and wet weather damage influenced
smaller predictions for the rice and
peanut crops.
RELIGION:
Attacks Instruction
Religious education programs in
40 states may be affected as a re-
sult of a suit brought in the circuit
court at Urbana. Ill . against such in-
struction in public school property
by Mrs. Vashtj McCclium, wife of
a University of Illinois professor and
an avowed atheist
In bringing the suit against tin*
Champaign board of education, Mrs
McCollurr: charged that tier 10-year-
old son was embarrassed because
he was the only pupil of his class not
attending the voluntary 30-minutr
per week courses sponsored and
financed by the Protestant, Jewisfi
and Catholic faiths.
In pressing Mrs McCollum's suit,
which both sides promised to carry
to the Supreme court if they lost
Attorney Landon Chapman declared
that indirect pressure from fellow
students and teachers virtually
forced a child into such classes on
public school property in violation
of the constitution providing for sep-
aration of church from state.
MEAT:
Lift Bans
Despite the government's with-
drawal of controls over meat slaugh-
tering and distribution, officials re-
fused to forecast an early end to
meat rationing, reiterating that such
action would be taken once there
was assurance of a balance of sup-
ply and demand.
Set up last April to steer more
cattle from local to federally in-
spected packers qualified to ship
meat to the army and between
states, the slaughter program was
lifted as military orders dipped and
a heavy run of cattle was expected
this fall.
Established along with slaughter
control, the fair distribution pfan
was designed to assure the ship-
ments of meat along the same geo-
graphical pattern as in the first
quarter of 1944 and therefore pre-
vent the decrease in supplies to
former markets.
Assails 30-Hour Week
Declaring the first step In the
downfall of France was the 30-
hour week, Senator Byrd (Dent.,
Va.) attacked the proposal for a
similar government work week.
Asserting that all Industry
would have to fallow suit, Byrd
said thai America cannot afford
to become a nation ef drones
without Impairing its economic
stability. Adoption of a 3S-hour
work week by the government
woald Increase costs by two Ml*
Ilea dollars a year, Byrd said.
