She is reported to be making sat-

Number Seven—
detit, stated at the outset of the
banquet:
“This has been 8 glorious day.
We’Ve had a wonderful- meeting.'
He added, “If wv ever need rain in
Stephenville again We’ll have an-
other Presbyterian meeting.”
Dr. McFarland divided his de-
scription of an educated heart In-
to four portions, aneh having a re-
lation to the others.
They were, “That quality that
permits a person to have a sln-
cere and automatic respect for the
rest of humanity, the ability to
understand the difference between
happiness- and having ‘fun,’ be-
ing anthousiastic in what one be-
lieves, and having a sirqple and
straightforward belief in the hon-
or of doing right.”
Punctuating his statements with
interesting incidents, most involv-
ing himself, Dr. McFarland held
his audience spellbound and seem-
ed to exact the mood he desired
from his listeners at all times.
•He stated that laymen move-
ments such as the Presbyteriah
Men’s Council are the salvation of
the country and called fftr a return
to a spiritual beginning. In this
respect, he praised President
Eisenhower’s first act as chief ex-
ecutive in calling on those wit-
nessing the inauguration to “join
me in prayer.”
“The difference on the two sides
of the iron curtain is that on the
communist side they feel that man
alone is enough, while on this side,
it is man plus God,” he maintain-
ed.
Pointing out that teOhnocrasy
by itself is not enough to lift the
fog, he added that we need a spirit-
ual wisdom to help us understand
things.
“More pay in the- envelope,' as
important as it is,” he averred,
“leaves the most important pro-
blem of the modern age unsolved.
The answer to the big problem
will come from the heart.”
He pointed out in explaining an
automatic respect for humanity,
that Christ came down to be a
master among men, not above men,
and referred to this as “the glory
of the common way.”
In understanding the difference
between happiness and having
‘fun,’ he said that it is necessary
that people realize you don’t start
at the top but if you have an ed-
ucated heart, you’ll, be willing to
take the endurance route and earn
what you get.
“Free enterprise,” he declared,
“doesn’t guarantee anything but
that the road will be open and the
ladder will be up for anybody who
wants to make their own way.”
As for the enthousiasm in what
one believes, he indicated ttat it
is necessary for a person to stay
in there and pitch for what they
believe or else they won’t go any
place.
He expressed the opinion that
indifference is the biggest danger
to the country and stated:
“It's the ‘good’ people who real-
ly have me scared ‘stiff’. Those
‘good’ people that are ‘for’ the
right thing but never do anything
about it.”
Stating that “you can’t he aga-
inst what you are against if you
are not for what you are for,”
he explained that unless a person
really has a straight-forward and
simple belief in a basic set of
principles they can never truly
and effectively be opposed to any-
thing.
In concluding his address, he
drew a parallel between a Christ-
ian attitude as opposed to a “code
of ethics” and a new automobile
just off the assembly lines without
gas and oil as opposed to onp that
does. He stated that a Christian
attitude is a “code of ethics” with
the necessary fuel to make it work.
