THE ALTO HERALD. ALTO, TEXAS. ^\RCH 24. 1935
'.4
Hp HE writer of this column hap-
* pened to be in the press gal-
leries of the Senate the other day
as the Senate convened for the
day's work. We listened to an
inspirational prayer by the Rev.
Frederick Brown Harris, D. D., the
Senate chaplain. There were more
people in the press gallery than
there were Senators on the floor
of the Senate . . . possibly seven
or eight Senators present. This is
nothing unusual, for ihcrc arc sel-
dom more than this number pres-
ent as the Senate convenes. More
than likely there were tn e.e Sena-
tors in the cloakrooms thnn on the
floor. Ht tc is a phrase from tin
Chaplain's prayer:
. . May those who s.'t-ve in
the ministry of pubhc affairs be
conscious of a Divine mission, act-
ing always front the severest
sense of duty, indifferent ts praise
or blame, devoid of jer!jr.sy. un-
swayed by passion or prejudice."
And it struck the writer forcibly
in listening to these words that
in the Senate of the Unit ;l States
particularly, where iorciM" policy
is approved, that in our foreign
policy there is a Divine minsion,
a moral issue, teetering in the
balance as between the aggressive
atheistic forces of Communism
and the Christian world, of which
this nation is a leader. There is
on the lips of our leaders in this
nation such rationalizations as "co-
existence " with Communism, that
the world is big enough for the
insatiable aggression of Commu-
nism and the free world to live
side by side.
As a result our foreign policy
as thus far evolved in Eastern
Europe, in China, in Formosa, in
Korea and in the countries of
Southeast Asia has been one of
"prudent diplomacy"; that this so-
called prudent diplomacy consists
of backing away, step-by-step, on
the theory that we can ultimately
satisfy the demands of Commu-
nism and thus live co-existant with
the Communists who are in con-
trol of Russia and Red China. But
since the essence of Communism
as expounded by their leaders from
Lenin down to the present time
consists of such dogma as "We
therefore reject every attempt to
impose upon us any moral dogma
whatsoever . . ." the question lias
be: n posed and will be posed more
often as crisis after crisis arises.
"Where is the Divine mission of
which the Rev. Brown spoke in
his prayer before the Senate? It
docs not lie in a step-by-step re-
treat. because by every retreat
we deny the existence of God from
whom this divine mission Hows,
and we further deny man's inalien-
able rights, the basic truth upon
which our Republic is founded.
Some of the most profound
thinkers of our times have pro-
nounced the times in which we
live, the cold war as between athe-
istic Communism and so-called
Christian nations, a war to the
death as between Communism and
Christianity. In summing up this
battle between ideologies G. K.
Chestcrson said; "Christianity has
not been tried and found wanting;
it has been found difficult and no!
tried." The great trouble is that
Communism practices its ideology
seven days a week; Christianity
has devolved into what is called
secularism where we spend Sun-
day practicing our Christianity and
six days a week excluding Chris
tianity
said, and many of these volun-
teers are under the age of 20.

Talked HerseM Out
A certain talkative young lady
almost spent a night locked in
"Doc" White's drugstore.
She entered Doc's store about
11 PM, going directly to the pay
phone. At eleven-thirty Doc went
home—not having seen a custom-
er for a half hour. Around mid-
night he got a call from the store
... she had /tmaMy run out of con-
versation (and money) and found
the front door locked tight.
Doc vowed he'd leave her there
to teach her a lesson. But Mrs.
W. spoke up: "Now you go turn
h r )' '-se. It's hard to cut a good
conversation short — something
only a woman understands!"
From where I sit, however,
plenty of men are as hard to pry
away from a telephone as any
female. Some people are just
naturally long-winded, whi!t
others are the silent type—just
as some of us like coffee and oth-
ers prefer a glass of heer. The
important thing is to be ronaM-
crnfe...before friends start giv-
ing us the "busy signal."

CUITS can be kept in better con-
dition if they arc hung, brushed
and aired frequently than if sent
to the cleaners. A flat suit brush
used often will remove hidden dirt,
lift the fibers to their original tex-
ture and lengthen the life of the
suit.
Keep all your extra buttons in a
glass jar rather than a box. When
you want buttons you can select
those you want immediately in the
jar rather than plowing through
the whole assortment.
