MY A

False Teachings
I was raised in a Christian
home and taught to believe that
the Bible is the Word of God—
which I do. But my teacher in
high school says that the Bible
is full of errors, myths, and mis
translations, and cannot be trus
ted. I believe I am being brain
washed, wor I must confess that
my faith is weakening. What can
I do? g.|»
Unfortunately the Supreme
Court ruled that there should be
no religious teaching in the sc
hools, but they did not rule that
their should be no anti-religious
teaching. I recall that when I
was in high school one teacher
took great pains to try to un
dermine the faith of the students
who believed the Bible. This has
gone on for a long time, and will
probably go on for a long time
to come.
But the Bible is cognizant of
such tactics. It says: “For the
time will come when they will
not endure sound doctrine: but
after their own lusts shall they
heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears: ana they
shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables.” (II Tim. 4:3.)
Just as those boys who defect
ed from the Enterprise were
brainwashed by the North Viet
namese, efforts will be made to
brainwash you by these “teach
ers having itching ears.” This is
not a new tactic. Even in the fir
st book of the Bible, and in the
early chapters, Satan said to
Adam and Eve, “Yea, hath God
said?" From that day to this
Satan has placed a question
mark over everything God has
said, and he will keep on doing
it to the end of time. But the Bi
ble says, "Let God be true, and
every man a liar.” Believe me,
God is trustworthy, and men are
fallible. Put your faith and trust
in Him. He won’t let you down.

Editorial Roundup
Editors Comment
On Ga. Legislature
Georgia editors have commented during the week on
what the Legislature did and did not do.
They have the curb on spending, a constitutional amend
ment by which the voters and not the Legisature would
elect a Governor if no candidate polls a majority, traffic
safety measures, Pardon and Parole Board reforms, and
adoption of an abortion law. The biggest was the “bunny”
girl incident in the Senate and liquor-drinking in the Capitol
on the final day of the session.
Here are samples of editorial comment:
WAYCROSS JOURNAL - HERALD
Despite its “playboy” windup, the independence-mind
ed General Assembly registered some solid serious accom
plishments including a reasonable curb on requested
spending and a plan which would give the voters of Geor
gia the right to settle any future gubernatorial contest
stalemate.
The battle of the budget is old hat by now but the latter
measure didn’t win legislative approval until the final day
of the session.
The proposed constitutional amendment, which won
unanimous approval in both houses, calls for the canvass
ing of returns by a committee including the House speak
er and Senate president pro tern.
If no candidate has a majority in the general election,
a runoff would be held three weeks later.
The proposal, of course, must win the approval of the
voters in this year’s general election to become effective.
A few years ago, such a plan would have been viewed
by Georgians with only mild interest. Now the subject is
very much on their minds.
Less than two years ago, neither Lester Maddox nor
Howard Callaway, the Republican candidate for gover
nor, polled the majority required.
Following a court test of the present law, the election
was thrown into the legislature, whose Democratic Party
majority predictably picked Maddox, runner-up to Calla
way in the November, 1966, popular vote.
It it a foregone conclusion that Georgians will welcome
an opportunity to have the final say should another such
impasse occur.
The amendment should and undoubtedly will win over
whelming approval in November.
THOMASTON FREE PRESS
The General Assembly of Georgia, 1968 style, gave
Georgians some nervous moments but in the final analysis
the session was finished off with many plus signs.
In things the General Assembly did for Georgians we
believe the area of traffic safety made as many gains as
anything else. The General Assembly passed a bill that
will stiffen the penalty for drunken drivers and remove
these people from the highways when they are in a killing
condition.
The bill will provide for an automatic 30-day suspension
of license on the first conviction for driving under the in
fluence and an automatic six-month suspension if caught a
second time within a three-year period. A third conviction
will bring on an automatic jail sentence of 30 days and loss
of license for three years.
It also clears up the matter of an officer making a legal
determination of a driver’s intoxication by providing the
driver must submit to blood or breath tests or give up his
driver’s license.
Georgia lawmakers did Georgians a tremendous favor
by turning down some of the wild-eyed legislation offer
ed them and acting responsibly in many other areas of
legislation.
They had us mighty nervous there, for a while, but now
that the session is over we can all breath a sigh of relief.
MOULTRIE OBSERVER
The 1967 Georgia General Assembly left something to
be desired when all of its actions—or lack of them—are
taken as a whole. The session just concluded, however, will
leave a mark on the reform history of Georgia which de
serves special mention.
Two major reform measures were adopted, one of which
must be submitted to the voters in November for approval.
In the final hours of deliberation, the General Assembly
voted a constitutional amendment which would provide
for a run-off of the general election for governor if a can
didate fails to receive a majority vote the first time.
Likewise, the legislature voted a series of reforms in the
pardons and paroles system. The new regulations are de
signed to cure glaring weaknesses in the plan under which
Georgia has operated in the past—a procedure which caus
ed a major controversy in the state last year.
Governor Lester Maddox owes his election as governor
to the old plan for the general election which throws the
decision into the lap of the General Assembly in case a
candidate fails to get the majority. Howard Callaway, the
Republican candidate, led the ticket for governor, but a
write-in vote for Ellis Arnold, who had lost the race for
the Democratic nomination, muddled the general election.
Legislators and legal minds found there was nothing in the
books which would provide for a run-off.
The newly-adopted constitutional amendment specifies
that the Senate president pro tern and the House Speaker,
with a committee, shall canvass the returns after a general
election and issue a call for a run-off three weeks later if
no candidate gets a majority of the vote for governor.
If the voters mean what they say when they ask the right
to elect their governor, then we suggest they look for this
particular amendment when they ballot next November in
the presidential election.

“Look to your health, and if you
have it, praise God, and value it
next to a good conscience."

AS DISCUSSED IN RECENT reports, one of the most
pressing problems facing Congress is the balance-of-payments
deficit.
The Administration has proposed curtailing overseas travel
and investment in foreign plants and companies to stem the
Sow of American dollars abroad.
There are serious questions whether these proposals can
accomplish the job that must be done. As a member of the
Senate Finance Committee, I expect to examine them in detail
and determine their impact and effectiveness.
However, there are far more effective ways to deal with
the dollar deficit than taxing American tourists and restricting
travel abroad. The best way is for the United States to stop
spending more money overseas than we take in. ,
ONE QUESTION DESERVING special attention is the
way imports are contributing to the dollar deficit I do not believe
we have faced up to the way rising imports weaken our interna*
tional trade position and undermine our economy.
It is particularly acute where textile imports are concerned.
Last year, we had a textile trade deficit of $769 million. More
over, cotton textile imports have doubled since 1961, and imports
of man-made fiber textiles have increased 500 per cent
To aggravate the problem, many trading nations have vir
tually closed their markets to our textile products, many of
which Georgia produces.
This is Georgia’s largest employer, with the textile industry
employing 110,000 with an annual payroll of $475 million, and
with the apparel industry providing another 65,000 jobs with a
payroll of more than $250 million. It is estimated that textile
imports displace the equivalent of some 14,000 potential Georgia
jobs.
•• • 1
BECAUSE OF THE heavy flow of textile imports and the
critical balance of payments situation, it is imperative that Con
gress enact a textile import control bill such as I have sponsored
along with 68 other senators.
This bill would go a long way toward safeguarding the
future of the domestic textile industry and, at the same time,
would bring about a meaningful reduction in our dollar deficit.
era! Assembiyhas wisely passed a liberalised abortion
l&Wa
The vote in the Senate was 39-11 and the vote in the
House was 144-11. It is obvious that after hearing both
sides the legislators are convinced that a more liberal law
is needed. ....
We believe that the new law is an intelligent middle
ground approach to a difficult problem.
It would permit legal abortion where continued preg
nancy would endanger the life of the mother, where it
could seriously injure her health, where it might result in
the birth of a child with serious and permanent mental or
physical defects, or where pregnancy is the result of rape.
Such abortions would have to be performed at hospitals
accredited by a national committee of the medical associa
tion and a hospital committee as well as attending physi
cians would have to rule on each case.
The bill would not permit a woman who simply decides
that she does not want to have a child to have a legal
abortion.
A number of other states are considering legislation
similar to that passed in Georgia and similar laws likely
will be passed in many other states.
Such action is in keeping with the recommendations of
doctors, psychiatrists, and others who have studied present
laws and their failure.
A survey of some 40,000 American doctors reported
by the New York Times showed that 86.9 per cent of them
are in favor of more liberal abertion laws.
Among the psychiatrists answering the questionaire sent
out by Modern Medicine, a physician's magaxine, 94.6
per cent favored more liberal laws.
Our legislators should be congratulated for adopting
reasonable legislation in this field.

Proof Os
God
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
Is there any way of proving
the existence of God?
No, says Presbyterian theolo
gian John R. Bodo.
The various rational ar
guments for the existence of
God, put forward by St. Thomas
Aquinas, St. Anselm and other
medieval scholastics, actually
"prove nothing,” says Dr. Bodo,
who is Chaplain at MacAlester
College, St. Paul, Minn.
On the other hand, the
arguments used by those who
proclaim the death of God "do
not prove anything, either.”
Dr. Bodo contends in an
article in Presbyterian Life
Magazine that when it comes to
"provable knowledge” of God,
everyone is perforce an agnos
tic. The only choice is whether
to be a believing agnostic or an
unbelieving agnostic.
Takes A Gamble
The unbelieving agnostic gam
bles on the proposition that
there is no creative will and
purpose behind the universe, no
ultimate meaning to human
existence.
The believing agnostic “gam
bles on the trustworthiness of
Moses and of Jesus, who had
the colosal nerve to say, ’He
who has seen Me has seen the
Father’.”
Dr. Bodo says it is senseless
to talk about God’ being dead.
Immature and false concepts
of God—a “a bearded grand
daddy in the sky or a cosmic
replication of Uncle Sam”—can
and should die out of human
thinking. But the God of Jewish
and Christian faith, if He exists
at all, is the author and
sustainer and ultimate end of
life; indeed, He is life. And
to link this God—repeat, this
God—with the adjective dead, is
nonsense.”
“But if God is not dead, is He
perhaps Asleep?”
This question, Dr. Bodo
believes, haunts all believers at
times.
“Deep anguish about God’s
silence—His non-intervention in
time of need—is not a sign of
loss of faith or faithlessness,”
he says. “More likely, it is the
result of our human finiteness —
of our inability to figure out
what God is doing when He does
not seem to be doing anything,
while injustice is rampant and
suffering exceeds all bounds.”
Dr. Bodo is not the kind of
theologian who insults hard
questions with pat answers.
“There are no answers,” he
said. “This, too, can only be
endured with a believing
agnosticism—a posture of faith
without knowledge, trust with
out proof.”
