By Bread Alone?
Moses said it first. Christ repeated
the powerful truth to Satan. The words
are these: “Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.” This truth has
sustained men in every imaginable cir-
cumstance. Peter before the council,
Paul before Caesar, John on Patmos,
Christians in the Arena — all accepted
this mighty truth. As a result, physical
death could not cheat them of the victory
of life everlasting.
Today the voice of humanism beck-
ons many. The voice is heard in school
and government, in industry and society.
It insists that man CAN live by bread
alone. Millions are engaged in the dread,
ful experiment. But there is no need for
experimentation. Man of himself has
been tried and found wanting. Bread is
good. But it is not enough. The world is
desperately in need of those who desire
the words that proceed from the mouth
of God.

It is the weakness of man that we
should fear, not his strength. It mat-
ters not what you lose if you save your
soul.
Keeping the mouth shut prevents a
lot of ignorance from leaking out.
Christ is not valued at all if He is
not valued above all.
A foolish man is like a button —
always popping off at the wrong time.
Many want the Christ of the cross
who are unwilling to accept the cross of
Christ.
A person remembers 90% of what
he does; 80% of what he imi; 70% of
what he says; 10% of what he hears.

Legal Action Begun in Italy
To Get Free Speech Privilege
By Rodolfo Sordini
Special to the Chronicle
APRILIA, Italy—After repeated refusals of the officials in
our community to give us permission to speak publicly, we have
now decided to initiate legal action against the above men-
tioned officials which will be in effect action against the
Minister of Interior who is responsible for the refusals
For this action we have contacted one of the more noted
lawyers in Italy. He is Mr. Piccardi, the same lr.wyer who
defended the two young people in Prato who sued the Bishop of
Prato for slander because he accused them of adultery simply
because they were not married in the Catholic Church
Among other things, Piccardi is also President of the Asso-
ciation for Religious Liberty in Italy.
In order to meet some oi the expenses of the above men-
tioned action, the congregation in Aprilia took up a special con-
tribution about a month ago. The faith and zeal of these brethren,
none of whom earn more than $75 or $80 per month, is reminiscent
of the First Century Christians.
The larger part of the brethren did not have njoney to give,
so they gave their wedding rings, or whatever small piece of
gold they had. From about 20 wage earners a sum of more
than $600 was received.
If these brethren are willing to make such tremendous sac-
rifices, it is because they have seen the importance of what is
being initiated. Liberty to speak and preach from the public
squares, a liberty guaranteed us by our constitution would be
one of the greatest things that could happen to the Lord's Church
in Italy.
(For further information about the plans of the Aprilia
church, and their desire to have freedom in speaking the word of
God publicly, contact: Elders, Hayes Ave. Church of Christ,
9835 Hayes Ave., Detroit 13, Mich.)

In Spectacular
Dear Editor:
We have made appeal after
appeal in attempts to find sup-
port for the Duyane Hindsley
family (lately of Marseille,
France) and Valdy Eichmann
(of Liege, Belgium, now in the
States). Both of these breth-
ren have been discouraged at
the apathy of the numerous
churches contacted. Yet both
men are needed desperately in
the work here.
. . . According to the Chron-
ic’* (June 16) a young lady
just out of high school will
“participate” in the establish-
ment of the church ... in
Peru, etc. It w'ould not be my
wish to spoil the fun of the
brethren, but personally 1 can-
not see that the benefit obtained
from such a venture will justify
the expense involved My ques-
tion is simply this: Are the
brethren more interested in the
spectacular than in the prac-
tical? How do these brethren
go about raising the support for
such projects? This we would
like to know so that wa can
ra ise the support for the hreth.
ren mentioned.—Donald Ross
Taylor, Varviars, Belgium.
Dear Editor:
I am enclosing a copy of a
letter I am sending to the
President as a result of your
article. “To Skin A Cat,”
appeared in the June 23
TrHE WOP-'
CHUR
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
"Are The Brethren Interested
or Practical?"
I was so impressed with the
last sentence: ‘‘There can be
no separation of church and
state when the government foots
the bills.” ..
Those who favor federal aid
to parochial schools can present
some pretty good arguments.
Unless we understand the situ-
ation, and have a simple an-
swer which we know and under-
stand, it is difficult to discus
to the issue without appearing
to be unfair. I think the state-
ment quoted above does that.--
Mrs. Vornon Arona, Sheboygan.

The School Fight
Reams of copy have been written
on the School Bill, known as the School
Assistance Act of 1961. The bill was
passed by the Senate on May 25 by a
vote of 49 to 34. It authorizes payment
of $850,000,000 a year, over a period of
three years, in grants to the states for
teachers’ salaries, operation and main-
tenance costs, and for construction of
public schools.
The Catholic hierarchy has erected
roadblocks by raising questions as to
whether public schools can be the re-
cipients of such aid without provision
for similar aid to parochial schools. The
President has indicated that he feels
Federal aid to private schools is uncon-
stitutional. Bravo! The present Catholic
view is riot for grants but for long term
loans with low interest rates to paro-
chial schools.
Now the administration argues that
measures for such loans should not be
appended to the present bill, but should
come under separate legislation.
We may mark it down: The fight
will continue. If and when the Catholic
wishes are met there will be more and
bigger demands.
No Excuse For Inefficiency
“There is no excuse for inefficiency
in this organization.” So spoke an ex-
ecutive of a large corporation as he ad-
dressed his staff. He went on to say, “It
is the duty of an employee to grow with
the business.”
These words have a familiar ring.
They should. The writer of Hebrews sets
forth the need of growth in no unmis-
takable terms: “For when by reason of
the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have
need again that someone teach you the
rudiments of the first principles of the
oracles of God; and are become such as
have need of milk, and not of solid food.
For every one that partaketh of milk is
without experience of the word of right-
eousness; for he is a babe. But solid food
is for fuUgrown men, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised
to discern good and evil.” (5:12-14.)
The child of God has a choice. He
may “grow in the grace and knowledge
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,” or,
he may return to “the weak and beg-
garly elements of the world.”
There is no place in the kingdom
