Peace, Happiness
For New Year
“The year is dying in the night,
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die !”
Thus Alfred Lord Tennyson said farewell to a passing
year, without reservations or regrets. The year was gone,
and good riddance. Let it go. Forget it.
What Tennyson's “In Memoriam” proposed to ring out
was not merely one year. The poet would ring out all the
old, bad ways of men; would “ring in a thousand years of
peace” and many attendant glories.
His cry has echoed in other human hearts on every new
year since, and on all the days between. Yet Utopia seems
as far away as ever. And, sadly, we will not attain it
simply by ringing out the old, by forgetting the past.
Such is the nature of mankind, and of the world, that
we strive forward only by remembering and building on
the years gone by; remembering the gains which provide
foundations for future achievement, and the blunders too,
so that we may avoid making the same mistakes again.
For the past lives not only in our memories but in our
selves. We not only remember 1966; it exists in our very
bones, in our minds and spirit. As psychologists point out,
everything that we experience becomes in some degree a
part of us.
Curiously, the song that everybody in the English
speaking world sings to welcome in a new year is “Auld
Lang Syne” — old long ago —— but it is the coming year
that one thinks about, and by long tradition everybody
says “Happy New Year!” But we keep our fingers crossed.
The United States will plunge into the unknown as 1967
begins, trying to grope cautiously toward the light b u t
perhaps floundering deeper and deeper into a morass
whose name is Vietnam but whose extent is global.
This New Year promises—or threatens—to be a fateful
one exciting, _ [n history, fascinating, and therefore interesting, in world history. It will be
well worth living through.
The happiest certainty about the New Year is that it is
jj n P re <f Stable; and the one great privilege that everybody
£* * on ™ew Year s Day is to hope for peace and happiness,
That is our hope,
Law Must Bridle
Phone Tapping
Article IV of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution
states:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall
issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the person or things to be seized.”
The authors of the Bill of Rights did not, of course, know
anything about telephones or the tapping thereof, nor did
they even dream of devices which could enable an eaves*
dropper to listen to conversations from a distance. To
them, unreasonable search and seizure was someone break
ing down their door and confiscating evidence without
benefit of a lawfully issued warrant.
Yet the tapping of a private telephone conversation
or the bugging of a hotel room would seem to be as much
a search and seizure of information as would be the actual
physical intrusion of an unauthorized investigator and his
stealing a personal letter.
The great difference is that the traditional form of
search and seizure is overt, visable and easily controllable
by legal safeguards. The modem form is subtle, invisible
and indiscriminate. Anyone with the necessary knowledge
and equipment can get into the snooping act.
The law of the land, however, by virtue of a 1928
Supreme Court decision, is that since wiretapping does not
involve actual trespassing on private property, it is not a
violation of the Fourth Amendment.
But six years later, the Federal Communications Act of
1934 made it a federal crime to intercept and divulge the
contents of a private telephone conversation. In 1939, the
Supreme Court ruled that wiretap evidence was inadmiss
ible in federal courts.
This says nothing about the several states, some of which
permit wiretapping evidence and some of which don’t.
Moreover, there is no federal law banning the use of other
forms of electronic snooping devices which operate inde
pendently of telephone wires.
Thus electronic eavesdropping is both lawful and unlaw
ful, and both an accepted and a condemned tool of police
surveillance. This ambiguous legal and moral situation has
lately given rise to the unedifying spectacle of Sen. Robert
F. Kennedy and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover trying to
pin the responsibility on each other for the wiretapping
carried on when Kennedy was attorney general.
Government wiretapping is still going on, but nobody
seems to know to what extent. It is supposed to be limited
to matters involving the national security, although no
law or court has even authorized this use. But according
to Rep. Emanuel Celler of New York, even “members of
Congress are afraid to pick up a phone and do their regular
chores these days for fear somebody is listening.”
Celler’s House Judiciary Committee has repeatedly re
fused to allow the Justice Department to expand its wire
tapping activities beyond national security cases, and Con
gress as a whole has consistently refused to pass hills legal
izing wiretapping.
On the one hand, federal and some state law prohibits
wiretapping; on the other, federal and some state lawmen
use it every day. It is time the lawmakers and law enforcers
got together and wrote a new and clear law, not only
governing wiretapping but bugging in general.
The law cannot uninvent electronics, but it can try to
control it.

MY
ANSWER, h l te
&i&p£kataHi
Christ’s Man
I hear preachers talk about
becoming a Christian, but if I
give my life to Christ, what will
actually happen? Will things
be different? WIU life be any
easier? WIU there really be any
change in me? R.U.
When Sir Brendan, a Christian,
was asked by King Brude, a pa
gan: “What will take place if I
become Christ’s man?” Bren
dan replied: “O king, you will
stumble upon wonder after won
der, and every wonder will be
true.” Accepting Christ brings
whole new dimension to life. It
is what psychologists call a "ca
taclysmic change”, with new
values, new purposes, and new
attitudes. As the Bible says, "Old
things will pass away, and all
things will become new.”
Will life by any easier? No! In
fact, it might become harder.
Christ never promised a com
fortable faith. Being Christ’s man
will impose new burdens, intro
duce new challenges, bring new
purpose. You will never be con
tent to be mediocre. You will be
ill-at-ease In a world that selfish
ly seeks ease and comfort. You
will be possessed with a “divine
restlessness”. But, having dis
covered your true purpose for
living, there will be a new zest,
a new love for life, a new com
passion for people, a new con
cern for the underprivileged,
downtrodden people of the wor
ld. In short, you will become a
partner with Christ in changing
others — and the world! I can
conceive of nothing more excit
ing. Those who have tried it ag

‘Dead’ Fad
About Dead
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Wliatever became of the
"death of God” movement?
A year ago, it was getting
reams of publicity.
Time did a covery story on it.
The New Yorker ran a three
part series, Television networks
put together documentaries.
Publishers rushed into print
with scores of books.
At theological seminaries,
Rudolph Bultmann and Paul
Tillich suddenly became passe
To be in, a seminarian had-to
quote Thomas Altizer and
William Hamilton.
There were, to be sure, a
number of old-fashioned types
who clung to the notion that
God would survive his underta
kers.
But among the really rele
vant, it was fervently believed
that "Christian atheism” was
the wave of the future.
If so, it must now be reported
that the wave of the future, like
so many waves of the past, has
apparently washed over the
shore and retreated into the sea
whence It came, without great
by altering the typography.
To Believe Or...
There are today, as there
always have been, a great
many people who don’t believe
in God. And there are a great
many others who do believe in
God. If the proclamation of
God’s death has resulted In any
increase in the former group, or
any decrease In the latter, It
has not been perceptible to
close observers of the religious
scene, nor has it been reflected
in statistical measurements of
church membership, attendance
and contributions.
Christian atheism did provide
a lively topic of conversation
for a while. But it never seemed
to catch on as a way of life. It
evidently was too Christian for
atheists and too atheistic for
Christians.
Lately, death-of-God theology
has been fading out even as a
subject for debate. It has been
weeks since any of the avante
garde religious Journals has

published an article, or even a
letter to the editor, to fan its
waning fires.
It did get a brief mention In a
recent Commonwealth magazine
interview with Reinhoid Nie
buhr. Th interviewer asked the
famous Protestant theologian
what he thought of Christias
atheism.
Dr. Niebuhr’s anaylsis was
succinct. It was, he said, a
“stupid” idea.
Since Americans seem to be
addicted to fads in theology, as
in other areas of life, it Is
reasonably certain that 1967 will
bring a new sensation.
Jesus Lives?
What it will be is anyone’s
guess. But one possibility is that
up-to-the-minute thinkers who
spent last year asserting God’s
death may spend next year
denying Jesus’ death.
There is a book on the market
which seeks to revive the
ancient “swoon theory” that
most scholars thought had been
thoroughly discredited In its
previous appearances. If it
should become a best-seller, ar
its publishers hope and believe :
it is likely to be widely
emulated.
The swoon theory, in case
you’ve never encountered It,
holds that Jesus didn’t really
die on the cross: He Just went
into a deep faint or coma, and
later came to in the cool of the
tomb, leading his disciples to
think he has risen from the
dead. There are several varia
tions, the most popular being
that the faint was induced by
powerful drugs.
If you want to get a head
start on this fad, it may Interest
you to know that there are four
other books, already widely
available, which are based on
eyewitness testimony..
They are called Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. And they
are unanimous in reporting that
Jesus did die on the cross, in
great agony, shortly after
saying of those who mocked his
suffering:
"Father, forgive them, they
know not what they do.”
