deceiving the
Postmaster S. M. Compton
this week announced his annual
“Mail Early for Christmas” cam-
paign, and outlined plans for in-
suring delivery of all Christmas
gifts and cards by Christmas eve.
“Public cooperation,” he said,
“has been a key factor in moving
Christmas mail on time in recent
years, and I am hopeful that it
will be even better this year.”
The postmaster urged patrons
of the Celeste Post Office to
start mailing Christmas packages
now. Packages to distant places
especially should be mailed as
early as possible.
“This is also the week to pre-
pare and mail your out-of-town
• Christmas cards/’ he said.
Mr.Compton gave these pointers
on the proper mailing of packages.
“Use sturdy corrugated mailing
cartons, plenty of heavy brown
wrapping paper, and be sure that
every package is tied with a strong
cord. Cartons containing several
gift packages should be stuffed
with tissue or old newspapers to
cushion the contents.
“If your article is of unusual
size or bulk, check with the post
office because there are restric-
tions on size and weight.
“It is also important to make
sure that your package bears the
correct mailing address and your
return address. If you are send-
ing your package to a large city
be sure to include the addres-

zone number in the address always

T. E. (Ellis) White of Wolfe
City has authorized the Courier
to announce his candidacy for
Constable, Precinct 3 of Hunt
Count.
Mr. White is a native of Wolfe
City and has many years ex-
perience as a law enforcement of-
ficer. He plans to publish his for-
mal announcement at a later date.
Until he visited Russia
year, he had accepted, on
authority of some of his scientist
friends, most of the Communist
claims to great scientific achieve-
ments. He felt the Soviets were
far ahead of the United States.
He decided to go to Russia to bet-
ter measure the extent of the
Soviet achivemnts, and to try to
determine how such an other-
wise primitive country could leap
so far ahead of the United States
in the most advanced areas of
scientific development.
At first the Communist em-
bassy people in Washington
'*■ Averen’t enthusiastic toward his
desire to go to Russia. So he
gathered up an imposing folio of
testimonials from world-renown-
ed scientists, some of whom were
intimately acquainted with Soviet
* scientists. These testimonials, and
Malian’s obvious desire to give all
due honors to the Soviet achieve-
ments, worked wonders. He went
to Russia and he was given al-
most complete freedom. Personal
letters of introduction from top
American scientists gained him
the confidence of the foremost
scientists of the Soviet Union who
took him on an unprecedented
reporting trip to the principle
astronautical centers and permit-
ted him to take hundreds of re-
vealing photographs. Later he was
obliged to smuggle much of his
documentation out of Russia.
Postmaster S. M. Compton Announces
Mail Early For Christmas Campaign
S. M. Compton will facilitate delivery in large
cities. Zone numbers also should!
be used on Christmas cards and
other mail to cities with postaS
zones.
“The address should be on the
top of the package, and it should!
be carefully written or lettered- A
piece of transparent celophane
tap placed over the address wiE
usually prevent defacing in tran-
sit.” It is also a good idea,” Mr.
Compton said, “to include the ad-
dress inside the package in case
the outside address should fee-
come defaced.
“If you us Christmas stickers
or seals, place them where they
will not conflict with the address*
Then, before you drop the package
in the mail, be sure you have firm-
ly affixed the proper postage.”
The Postmaster reminded that
the entire Christmas mailing
period is primarily a battle a-
gainst time. A delay now win con-
tribute to a serious pile-up, parti-
cularly in the larger post offices,
as the haliday approaches.
All packages going to distant
cities should be in the post office
by December 10. Other maiE
should be sent on its way as' soon,
as possible, and all local mail
should be in the post office no
more than a week or ten days
later. This kind of cooperation,
would mean that all Christmas
mail would be delivered on or be-
fore Christmas Eve, the Post-
master explained.

the end of his travels, interviews
and studies, he was convinced that
the United States is far ahead of
Russia in all important fields of
technology, and that Russia’
“Luniks” were cleverly worked out
propaganda tricks—and nothing
more.
“You might well ask,” he ob-
serves in his book, “Wouldn’t
even the men in the Kremlin be
afraid to perpetrate such an out-
rageous stunt? Wouldn’t they
know it would be discovered? My
answer is simple. The men in the
Kremlin knew just the opposite
—that the world was prepared
psychologically to believe that
they could launch a ‘Lunik.’ I
would have believed it myself—if
I hadn’t been in Russia, talked
with scientists there and examin-
tive by American standards. At ed their equipment?’ Next week:

, as received him, to them gave he
' power to become the sons of God.
even to them that believe on his
name; which were born, not of
’ blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of
’ God”—that is, of the will of God.
(John 1:11-13). When one be-
believes, he has the power (the
’ right or privilege) to BECOME a
' son. A person does not become a
child of God (saved) the very
; moment he believes. If he were
then a son, power could not be
given him TO BECOME A SON!
We are not saved by “faith only.”
(James 2:24).
The believer becomes a son
when his faith' working by love,
leads him to repent and be bap-
tized as the Holy Spirit com-
mands. (Acts 2:38; Gal. 5:6; 3:26,
27; John 14:15; 12:42, 43).
So, when one believes with the
heart that Jesus is the Son of
God, he is baptized (immersed in
I water according to the Spirif’s
teaching), he is then “born of
water and of the Spirit.’’ The new
birth is then completed, and the
individual is in the family of
God. Until next week may the
Lord bless you is our prayer.

THOROUGH REPORTING
Malian traveled 14,000 miles
through the USSR. He had long
friendly interviews with such
Soviet scientists as Prof. Leonid
Sedov, head of the Space Flight
Commission of the USSR; Prof.
Alla Massenvich, head of the
Sputnik optical tracking pro-
gram; Prof. Alexander A. Mik-
hailov, chairman of the USSR
Academy of Science’s Astronomi-
cal Council; and 35 other highly
placed leaders in the Soviet space
program. He saw and photograph-
ed1 equipment in the major space
tracking stations. He spent nearly
three months on his reporting
tour.
His book, published by Faw-
cett Publications in a paperback
edition for wide distribution, con-
tains approximately 150 of the
most interesting photographs that
have come from behind the Iron
Curtain since the Reds erected it
immediately after World War n.

The New Birth
By L. R. FULLERTON
During the Lord’s personal
ministry He taught in figures,
symbols, and parables; but after
His resurrection He gave plain
commands. Before He went back
to Heaven, He said to his apostles:
“Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every crea-
ture. He that believeth, and is
baptized, shall be saved; but he
that believeth not shall be damn-
ed.” (Mark 16:15, 16). In stating
the terms of salvation upon this
occasion, He stated exactly the
same truth He had .announced to
Nicodemus early in His public
ministry, only this time in plain
commandments. Mark 16:16 and
John 3:5 are identical in their
teaching—they both mean exact-
ly the same thing. For the sinner
today to obtain salvation, he
MUST believe AND be baptized.
After the church was establish-
ed, the apostles always considered
the person who had believed and
had been baptized a Christian.
In every natural birth there
must be the father who does the
begetting. In order to have a
natural birth, two things are
necessary: (1) begetting, and (2)
birth, or deliverance. In the
spiritual realm, we are begotten
of God, our Father, through the
gospel, the Spirit’s message; then,
after being begotten or made a
believer, we are born of water
(immersed) according to the
teaching given by the Spirit.
Note these scriptures which
show we are begotten by
Father through the word.
1. “Of his (God’s) own will be-
gat he us WITH THE WORD OF
points | TRUTH> we should be a kind
of firstfruits of his creatures.”
(James 1:18).
2. “Being born again (Having
been BEGOTTEN AGAIN —A.S.-
V.). not of corruptible seed, but of
. incorruptible, BY THE WORD OF
GOD, which liveth and abideth
forever . . . And this is the word
which by the gospel is preached
, unto you.” (1 Pet. 1:23, 35).
’ 3. “For though ye have ten
1 thousand instructors in Christ, yet
. have ye not many fathers: for in
, Christ Jesus I have begotten you
through the gospel.” (1 Cor. 4:25).
This means, “I have made you
believers by preaching the gospel
to you.’’
4. “The seed is the word of
God.” (Luke 8:11). But the Holy
Spirit gave the word of God
through inspired men. Therefore,
when one is begotten by the word
in believing the gospel, it may also
be said to have been done by the
Holy Spirit.
The WORDS I speak unto you,
they are spirit, and they are life.
(John 6:63). To be begotten and
to believe are one and the same
thing. “Whosoever BELIEVETH
that Jesus is the Christ is BE-
GOTTEN OF GOD.” (1 John 5:1
AJS.V.). The word (seed) is plant-
ed in the heart by hearing. Faith
comes by hearing God’s word.
(Rom. 10:17). Being begotten by
the Spirit through the word is
necessary to being bom again.
How is a person begotten by the
Spirit? By hearing the Spirit’s
voice—the Spirit’s message. In
Paul’s sermon at Antioch in Pisi-
dia, he spoke of “the voices ofi
the prophet which are read every
Sabbath day.” (Acts 13:27).
These people heard the pro-
phets; they heard the VOICES of
the prophets. How? By hearing
the law read aloud every Sabbath
day in their synagogues; by hear-
ing the WRITINGS of the pro-
phets.
And so today we hear the voice
of the Spirit by hearing the word
of God—the word given by the
Spirit through inspired men. This
is the way we hear the Spirit to-
day, and this is the only way we
hear His voice.
The Holy Spirit was given to
guide them into all truth. And
when they preached it was the
Spirit’s message. The people
heard and believed—were begot-
ten; and in obedience to the
Spirit’s command, they were bap-
tized (Immersed). And thus be-
came the children of God. “Many
of the Corinthians hearing, be-
lieved, and were baptized.” (Acts
18:8).
After one has been begotten, he
may then be born again. “He ’
came unto his own, and his own L
