THEPROBLEM IS RELIGIOUS
Is there soma way of simplifying the complex
problems of this planet in such a way that all might
understand the problems even though they may not
have the solutions
There ari three aspects to the problems social
spiritual and economic
We consider the last first
On this earth we have x number of people
and y amount of resources Mathematically if we
divided the resources between all the people there
would be enough for all But the problem Isnt that
simple People ate as dislike economically as they
ate socially Some men would consider themselves
wealthy with a straw hut and enough simple food
to satisfy their hunger Others would require much
more in order to be happy Were It possible to divide
all the resources among all the people we would
hove as much if not more turmoil as we now have
Still the basic economic problem of the world is as
simple as having enough of the bare necessities of
life to sustain it
Why do people riot in Vietnam Why do they
parade in Laos Why do they demand political independence
in the Congo It isn t because they are
born troublemakers It isn t because they love freedom
and democracy that they resent colonial rule
It isn t because they hate communism and love
independence or vice versa
Most of the people of the world have no moral
prejudice or scruples against one form of government
over another Communism and democracy look
just alike to most of the people so far as political
morality is concerned They wont that way of life
which will come nearer giving them their basic needs
food clothing and shelter True there has been
a rise of nationalism but usually this came only be
couse the people believed they would be better off
economically if they could get rid of their foreign
masters
While we deplore any share the wealth proposal
as a solution to the economic problem still
there is as much danger in going to the other extreme
and this we are apt to do
True God dto not create all men equal In ability
and talent True we believe in free enterprise in
which the qualified ore entitled to more of this
world s goods than the mediocre True there are
more mediocre people in the world than there ate
geniuses But it is also true that one who makes the
most money isn t necessarily enjoying just the rewards
THOUGHTS FOR THURSDAY
By H Af BAGGAjRLY
ACCORDING TO a recent news dispatch
a major church group is attempting to
up the qualifications for its ministers It isnt
difficult to note the need for highly qualified
church leaders The universal church has
suffered in the past as a result of halftrain
ed halfqualified ministers
Being a member of a denomination
which traditionally has maintained high standards
for its ministers we can approve the
efforts of any denomination to encourage
better preparation for this allimportant
Work
TH0U4HTS TO THUSS3AY
BUT SOMETIMES we wonder if the
hierarchy of the modern church is really conversant
with those qualifications which a real
man of God must have Can a mans qualifications
for this hifh office be measured in
terms of college credits alone
Sometimes it would seem that the hierarchy
of Our various churches and God dont
see eye to eye on what it takes to make a
real Christian leader
Take Billy Graham for example
He attended a college which many great
men consider second to none but one which
is frowned upon by nearly every major
denomination
Why is it frowned upon Because of
low spiritual standards Because it teaches
doctrines which these critical denominations
consider strange Anyone who knows any
thing about Wheaton college knows that its
standards both academic and spiritual are
second to none Certainly it teaches no
strange doctrines Many of our greatest
church leaders received their college training
at Wheaton Its graduates can be found on
the faculties of colleges of all denominations
All are loyal to their alma mater
Then why do most denominational leaders
frown upon Wheaton
Its because Wheaton more than 100
years old has never identified itself with any
particular denomination Its a conservative
ireligious school supported by Christians of
the various oldline denominatons But we
live in a day when most church members insist
on a Made By Our Group For Our
Group label on whatever they use
But Billy Graham selected this particular
school and he has never been to a seminary
HERE WE FIND a man who went to a
college unpopular with the major denominations
a man who didnt even go to seminary
in a day when most major denominations inquire
seminary training for almost any past
torate even for smalltown congregations
Yet when God wns looking for an evangelist
to become the greatest of this or any
other age he selected such a man Perhaps
it was to show the religious hierarchy of our
day just how far off center it is in its sense
of values
THOUGHTS fO THUISOAY
THIS ISNT THE first time God has passed
over the logical and selected the Illogical
the simple things in carrying on His work
When He fed the five thousand He selected
the simple lunch of a small boy rather
than the elements of the more prominent
members of His congregation to work His
miracle
Almost in every instance Ho passed over
the church leaders of His day using the humble
the uneducated
THOUGHTS fO THUISOAY
THIS ISNT TO SAY that God put a
premium on ignorance lack of formal training
and the like This isnt to say that young
men should imitate Billy Graham in not attending
a seminary It is to say that there
are other qualifications equally important
and apparently in Grahams case more important
Graham had every intention of attending
seminary even now he feels inadequate
as a result of his not going He isnt
proud of his lack of advanced formal training
But when God found him ordaining him
for this particular work He took him as he
was
And such a person has preached to and
reached more human beings than any other
minister in the history of the world
OTHER GREAT MEN in other walks of
life have reached the top after having failed
to meet a maze of manmade requirements
for college entrance after having been refused
employment for some petty reason
We bring up the subject only to remind
us all that humility is always a virtue our
best decisions and leadership are always subject
to error and when we begin to think we
are infallible then it is God is likely to put us
in our place by bypassing our wisdom
of his greatness Many of our greatest people Including
the late Dr Dooley were not rewarded financially
Many of our rich are scoundrels and stole
whot they have
We cannot say that absolute free enterprise
in which a man Is controlled only by his natural limitations
is just and the answer to our economic problemThe world might be compared with o large cage
In which vere placed lions tigers lambs dogs cats
mice and all other animals Now If we depended
upon free enterprise to govern the lot how long
would it be before only the lions were left
Is the lamb to be despised because he Is no
match for the lion
Is our world of humans different from the animal
world
We have humans who are like the King of
Beasts who roars All of us are equal but some
of us are more equal than others
The economic problem is without a solution as
long as we have the spiritual problem The spiritual
problem is simply all men are selfish We live in a
dogoatdog world in which man does not love his
neighbor We live In a world where too many people
have the one ambition to get mine Despite its
apparent complexity we could solve our economic
problem over night if man was governed by the spirit
of genuine neighborliness and brotherly love
Somewhere In between the economic and spiritual
problem is the social problem resulting primarily
from the fact that men are of oifferenr colors and
some of these colors In their conceit somehow feel
that they are superior to those of a varying color
The social problem like the economic problem cannot
be solved until the spiritual problem is solved
Is there any Indication that man is evolving from
generation to generation Is he becoming more loving
towards others Is he growing less selfish Is he becoming
mote tolerant towards those of other colon
other nationalities
We think not Not only is man travelling in the
<
opposite direction but he is becoming more dangerous
as he creates new tools of destruction as he
grows in number and there are more people to fight
for what there is
Again only Christianity holds the key to all
man s problems We cannot avoia the conclusion
that man s economic spiritual and social problems
one in reality a religious problem

MARVIN TOMME In The Rails Banner Ike left
the White House Jan 20 much more financially independent
than when he was associated with tha
government it appears When ike applied for entrance
to West Point according to his moher he
did so because someone had told him It was a good
school at which to obtain a free education In 1957
Ikes nctwortli estimated at some one million dollars
Since that time this figure has gone up Im sure
Such things as gifts and improvements at his Gettysburg
farm have had a large hand In this Under
tho law of the United States it Is forbidden for a
public official to accept a gift proven when Harry
TrUman accepted a deep freeze and was castigated
for Kis action Yet larger newspapers have carefully
neglected to comment on Ikes complicated farming
operation at Gettysburg The manager cf his farm
General Tievlns has his substantial salary paid by
two silent partners one of them a Texas oil mai
It was these men who backed Eisenhower for president
It has been said and never denied that Ike
made a committment to Texas oil men before his
election he would approve the deeding of the Texas
tidelands Ike went so far as to send a telegram
to a Texas oil man stating he could see no reason
for not vesting titles of the tidelands to stales He
did sign the tidelands bill and Rave his friends an
opening Ike has many improvements on his fartn
that are far more expensive for the average farmer
to accumulate Any of you local farmers care
to try Seems a gcod way to set your farm up In
the first class condition

HAROLD HUDSON In The Ochiltree County
Herald Perryton A story in the Canadian Record
last week told of an incident involving the Quanah
basketball team which at that time was enroute
to Perryton to play the Rangers their opening district
game The Indian squad ate dinner in Canadian
then the boys dispersed through the business
district where they shopped In several stores taking
merchandise but without passing wampum After
some excited confeiences with store owners and the
Quanah coach tho Items were either returned or
paid for and the boys went on to Perryton without
any charges filed
This w3dent > ls bound to be embarrassing to
thexoJich thief scjjpol and parents of the players Last
fear one oTour visiting district schools created quite
a mess in the dressing room after a ball game and
this1 didiCOCJIcct much credit on their school either
as far as we can learn the Perryton Rangers and
Rangerettes have not in recent years anyway done
any damage to property while representing their
school Our observation cf the squads In the many
outoftown trips we have made shows the boys and
girls to ba quite well behaved Which is a tribute
to the school and the coaching staff
Last week the Borgcr junior high teams came
to Perryton to play a couple of games and wo
were surprised to note that there were threo Negro
boys on the starting lineup of the eighth grade team
More colored boys were en the bench The coach
said thfi4 Nfgro boys made better athletes because
they vorkfcd harder at It Said these boys worked
out In the afternoon then they worked out on their
own until the gym was locked up The white boys
left immediately after the supervised workout getting
into their cars and heading for the drug store Probably
this is why professional athletics Is getting
heavily interspersed with Negro players they work
harder to develop natural skills and professional
athletics Is one field where a Negro can command
as great a salary as a white man if he has the
ability

DOLPH MOTEN in Tha Bovlna Blade As apart
of our business we make a 12hour run down
Into Southeastern New Mexico at least once each
weekThis
This is significant from a columnwiting standpoint
in that it gives Us1 ample opportunity to think
about what were going to write about here and also
gives us many opportunities to talk to interesting
hitchhikers and some who are not so interesting
But you cant tell whether theyre going to be
interesting until you pick them up
So we just usually check to see if the man who
owns the waving thumb is reasonably clean beforo
we pull over and tell him to hep in
It irks us pretty bad when a hitchhiker beforo
getting in the car asks How far you going
Its our opinion that a hitchhiker shouldnt bo so
particular We figure were going in tho direction
the man wants to go or we wouldnt offer him a
ride In tho first place However a lot of young
ridebummers ask that question especially if they
havent been waiting long for a ride Too we know
they dont like to be left stranded out in the country
somewhere miles from the nearest town We expect
them to give us credit for knowing that though and
weve been known to drive off when we were asked
that How far you going question That makes
them think twice before they ask any questions of
the next fellow who stops 5
When we were hitchhiking we figured we were
ahead even if we didntget to ride over half a
block At least we Were clqcr to our destination
Worst feature about giving hltchhkers rides Is
that DO per cent of the time you ossoclate with
people who dont havi any mo my O course its
no sin to be without money Iti that you are apt
to g t a depressed oiitlook en lfc if you pay loo
much attention to what these brke inJlviduals toll
you
Recently we picked up a n ce Iriking young
man who had lettered on his suitcase Iior Student
Figuring that with that touch Imagination he would
offer Interesting conversation w tried to find out
what he preferred to talk about
He was a Jaw student frcm California he told
us and was going to a friends wedding somewhere
in Oklahoma When we got those things established
ho started the questioning What do people do for a
living here Why are you in this country Why do
you like this country
We told him that we thought this area offered
a lot of potential And thsn waited to see what
his reaction would be
Well if this country has anything its potential
Theres nothing here now was his repy
Wo changed the fubject

STERLING EDWARDS in The Gatesvillc Messenger
Its a big field that has entered the race in
Texas for the U S senators pe > t vacated by Lyndon
D Johnsons step into the Vicepresidency The field
of candidates Includes several able men and we
arc confident the one Texans cheese wll serve the
state and the nation with great credit
With that preamble designed to emihasize that
this newspaper is for a candidate ralhir than
against other aspirants The Messenger would like
to commend to its readers the candid xy cf Congressman
Jim Wright cf Fort WorLh
During six years in Congress Wright has proven
himself a man of exceptional intiiigrnce ability
alertness and diligence and a man with high ideals
of public service
Only criticism heard here thus far of Wright is
that hes young He does have youth but with
that youth he has experience in both the state and
national governments He is young but he is closely
familiar with tho great Issues that confront this
state and nation
Wrights record in Congress appeals to those of
us who are neither ultraliberal nor ultraccnservatlvo
Heros what the Fort Worth StarTelegram has to
say about it
In his years in Congress Mr Wrigits performance
has served to erase the widely held impression
at the time of his first election that he was
a convinced liberal who would join wholeheartcdy
with tho liberal b cc in the House He haS been
his own man not tho captive of any group or boc
To the distress of his ultraliberal > colljagues he
strongly supported HR3 which would have protected
tho right cf the states to enact and enforce their
own statutes so long as they d d not cnflict with
federal law Ho has deplored the grcwin departure
from the traditional concept In this country of tho
separation of powers of government In the economic
field his legislative philosophy has been that business
is entitled to make a reasonable return ad
working men and women are entitled to earn a decent
living
