zen: There is one citizen in
Honey Grove that will read
One World. He is Jack Ad-
amson, who last week re-
ceived a copy of this latest
book direct from the author,
Wendell Willkie. How do we
know it came direct from the
great American citizen? Be-
cause on the front page of
the book is the autograph of
Mr. Willkie. Both Mr. Will-
kie and Mr. Adamson are of
ine same pulilicai belief and
are good friends. "One World
is a courageous and outspok-
en book by a great Ameri-
can, and it is the fastest sell-
ing book that America has
published lately.
Here are congratulations
to Mr. Adamson, who not on-
ly has an autographed copy
of One World, but also is a
good friend of the author.
From the way the sales of
Mr. Willkie’s book have
started, it threatens to rival
Gone With the Wind finally.
State Press agrees that the
book is a courageous and
outspoken volume fby an Am-
erican who deserves to be
called great. As a matter of
fact, if the Republicans are
half as smart as they’re
sometimes thought to be,
they’ll nominate Mr. Willkie
again for President—and we
can almost promise he’ll pick
up a lot more votes in Texas
this time.—State Press in

als. We have commanders
trained and equipped to
make the necessary decisions
—so let’s leave the job to
them.
Two thousand, one hundred
and seven years ago, Lucius
Aemilius Paulus, a Roman
general, stated the case in
words which are just as ap-
plicable today:
“In every circle, and truly
at every table, there are peo-
ple who lead armies into
Macedonia; who know where
the camp ought to be placed;
wrhat posts ought to be occu-
pied by troops; when and
through what pass that ter-
ritory should be entered;
where magazines should be
formed, how provisions
should be conveyed by land
and sea; and when it is prop-
er to engage the enemy,
when to lie quiet.

er, D. D.
Religion Versus Dictator-
ship
As is often the case with
lesser things the understand-
ing of democracy by its
friends is being enhanced to-
day through the violent ani-
mosities of its foes. Some-
times it would seem as if fas-
cists were more aware of the
vital connection between
Christianity and democracy
than are the citizens of the
free democracies.
The reasons for the oppo-
sition which totalitarian
make to both Judaism and
Christianity ought not to be
hard to understand. These
faiths—one in their origin
and one in their basic read-
ing of human destiny
sert that human personality
is sacred, that man—as man
— has certain inalienable
rights. This the totalitar-
ians vehemently deny. These
faiths assert that the giver
of these sacred rights was
the Creator who “made man
in his own image and
breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life.’’ The totalit-
arians deny the existence of
a universal creator who is
What is my opinion? That ,
commanders should be coun- a^°ve a^ races’ nations, and

By Ruth Taylor:
One thing we know—the
calls for more arms, more
food, more bandages, more
bonds — are the signs of
pending offensive action on
the part* of the Allies. Such
action will be costly, we
know—costly in men, muni-
tions and money—but wars
are never won by defensive
measures. We have to take
the offensive and strike

The fighting is up to the
armed forces and to those
who direct them, but there
is one thing we can all do to
help-—stop harrying those in
authority who have the re-
sponsibility and burden of
making decisions and deter-
mining strategy! The enemy
should be the only opponent
about whom they should
have to worry. Whether we
agree or not with their de-
cisions is unimportant. In a
democracy and under a re-
publican form of government
it is up to both minority and
majority to give loyal service
both of lip and arm to those
whom the people themselves
have selected to lead them.
The success of the North
African venture was largely
due to the fact that it came
aa a surprise to the enemy, j
Its advantages or disadvan-
tage* were not hashed out in
the press or over the air by
self-styled exprru, That is

selled, chiefly, by persons of
known talent; by those who
have made the art of war
their particular study, and
whose knowledge is derived
from experience; from those
who are present at the scene
of action; who see the coun-
try, wiio see the enemy; who
see the advantages that oc-
casions offer, and who, like
people embarked in the same
ship, are sharers of the dan-
ger.
“If, therefore, anyone
thinks himself qualified to
give advice respecting the
war wdiich I am to conduct,
which may prove advantage-
ous to the public, let him not
refuse his assistance to the
state, but let him come with
me into Macedonia. He shall
be furnished with a ship, a
horse, a tent, even his trav-
elling charges shall be de-
frayed.
"But if he thinks this ioo
much trouble, and prefers
the repose of a city life to
the toils of war, let him not,
on land, assume the office of
a pilot. The city, in itself,
furnishes abundance of top-
ics for conversation; let it
confine its passion for talk-
ing within its own precincts,
and rest assured that we
shall pay no attention to any
councils but such as shall be
framed within our camp.”

that all men are brothers in
the one family of God. The
totalitarian want nothing to
do with universal brother-
hood and are intent upon de-
stroying the very concept.
These faiths assert that
there is a fundamental moral
law in the universe which
was ordained by the will of
God and which represents
his universal and unchang-
ing purpose. Totalitarian
despise any such view and
set up as the final law’ the
arbitrary will of the dictator
who is supposed to be above
criticism, himself the sup-
reme moral judge of all
things. Judaism and Chris-
tianity believe that force is
never its own justification
and that when it is used it
must be under the control of
law and employed in a cause
that is just. Totalitarian as-
«prt that the power to use
force is the only justifica-
tion required for its employ-
ment.
Judaism and Christianity
see man the sinner as the
subject of God’s mercy re-
quiring redemption that he
may rise into newness of life
from his error and wrongdo-
ing. The Nazis say only a
religion of cowards and
weaklings could think that
man needs redemption. The
plain fact is that the totalit-
arian faiths are themselves
complete substitutes for all
universal religion. They are
the modern form of the an-
cient idolatry — streamlined
and air conditioned. The
things which they worship—
these are the things which
Jews and Christians know-
are false and evil. The things
which they seek to destroy
are the basic ideas in any
civilized system of human re-
lationship*.
It is a curious and tremen-
dously important fact that

Portions of the Bible have
recently been printed in four
new African languages—lan-
guages first reduced to writ-
ing by missionaries. They
are the Nkutu and Okela
tongues of the Belgian Con-
go, and the Tarawa and Gan-
awari of Northern Nigeria.
The first edition of St. Mark
in Okela was destroyed by a
bomb but a second was print-
ed. Two African Christians
translated St. Mark into Tar-
awa, and another assisted in
translating the same book in-
to Ganawari. T h e entire
as- Bible or portions of it have
now been published in 288
African languages.

“Governor Lehman is al-
ready setting up far-reach-
ing machinery for bringing
essential needed food sup-
plies to the people of Moroc-
co and Algeria,” says Dr.
Charles Elward A. Winslow,
of Yale University. “It is un-
fortunate that even on such
a dear issue there is not yet
unanimity among the Amer-
ican people. Shakespeare has
a message on this point:
‘Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath
not a Jew hands, organs, di-
mensions, senses, affections,
passions? Ted with the same
food, hurt with the same
weapons, subject to the same
diseases, healed by the same
means, warmed and cooled
by the same winter and sum-
mer, as a Christian is?’”
Arrangements have been
made between the Selective
Service officials and the
staff of the Am er i c a n
Friends Service Committee
whereby religious objectors
now in Civilian Public Ser-
vice Camps may volunteer
for work and dairy farms.
The Department of Agricul-
ture has approved twenty-
six counties throughout the
nation in which this service
can be carried on.

months, the Committee on
Town and Country of the
Home Missions Council of
North America and the Fed-
eral Council of the Churches
of Christ in America will
sponsor nearly forty in-ser-
vice training schools, insti-
tutes, graduate courses, con-
ferences and camps for rural
ministers in various parts of
the United States. The pur-
pose of the schools is four-
fold; to help ministers be-
come acquainted with tested
methods of town and country
church work; to assist them
in securing an understanding
of the trends and problems
of modem country life; to de-
velop fellowship among min-
isters in town and country;
to increase contacts of minis-
ters with agricultural lead-
ers.

thur J. Moore, of Atlanta,
lion could riot endure half
slave and half free Now we
know that the world cannot
l»e half good and half laid,
half intelligent and half un-
educated. half Christian and
half |»agan. If Christ i» to
be supreme anywhere, he
must be supreme every-
where. This applies to our
democracy. The time has
come w ii e n inis country
must really be evangelized in
its attitudes and human rela-
tionships. Not otherwise can
we play our proper part in
the post-war world. This
land of ours must be Chris-
tianized not only for its own
sake but fm the sake of its
influence in the future. Here
is destined to be the main
base of both Christian mis-
sions and political democracy
and freedom, probably for a
century to come. The influ-
ence we exert in the world
will depend in no small de-
gree on the character of our
own social life.”

Mrs. J. W. Walker, State Di-
rector of the schools at War

speakers and announce the
winners of the recent state-
wide scrap book contest.
Final reports in the Jeep-
buying Campaign will be an-
nounced and recognition will
be given to schools who have

and from their headquarters Dewev of New York, togeth-
at ii East 35th Street, New er with Governor Herbert O’-
York, forwarded in ship- Connor of Maryland and Gov-
ments of relief supplies to asjJ* Howard McGrath of Rhode
Island, demanded that the
powers granted the Federal
government in the prosecu-
tion of the war be returned
to the States when peace
comes.
As Governor Dewey point-
ed out, “powers essential to
the freedom of the people,”
can be endangered if “pollut-
ed by the exercise of control
over essentially local mat-
ers.”
Demonstrating the “dan-
gers and difficulties” result-
ing from the direction of lo-
cal problems from the central
seat of government, Gover-
nor Dewey cited Federal
handling of the food problem.
He said that, although the
States had “foreseen the cat-
astrophe for many months,”
the F ed e r a 1 government
“never saw the problem—
never acted on it until a few
week? ago—never even re-
versed its crop restriction
program in time.”
Other speakers at the meet-
ing, looking squarely at the
postwar situation, were of
the opinion that free indus-
try will be the chief source
of jobs after the war, and
that government can help in-
dustry in its task by adopt-
ing “constructive fiscal and
monetary policies and estab-
lishing a climate in which
free enterprise can flourish.”

Schools’ Victory
War Loan Drive
Goes Over The Ton
Texas schools have gone
over the top in raising their
quota for the Second Victory
War Loan Drive. Their goal
set by the Treasury Depart-
ment was to purchase 354
jeeps $900 in Bonds and
Stamps being considered the
cost of one jeep. Final re-
ports from the War Savings
Staff in Austin indicate in
excess of 4,000 jeeps pur-
chased by the school child-
ren of Texas. The goal set
by the Treasury Department
for the schools of the entire
nation was 10,000 jeeps. In
view of this figure the ac-
complishment of the Texas
school children is outstand-
ing. The San Antonio schools
turned in a top record. In ex-
cess of $6,000,000 worth of
Bonds and Stamps were sold
and purchased through a
concerted drive by the com-
bined schools of the city.
This fund will be used to pur-
chase 20 flying /ortresses
for the Alamo Squadron.
