MY A
ANSWER®
Confession
I have .sinned and I am very
sorry for it. I confessed it to the
Lord, and Im sure He has for
given me. But, must I confess
what I have done to the person
I have sinned against? Please
let me know. Thank you very
much. M.M-
If the wrong you have done ag
ainst another person can be made
right by your confessing it to
them, then you should confess
it. If such confession would only
complicate matters, then your
confession to the Lord is suffic
ient.
If you have taken property
from another, or lied about an
other, of course these things
should be made right. The Bible
says, regarding making things
right: “Leave there thy gift be
fore the altar, and go thy way;
first be reconciled to thy broth
er, and then come and offer thy
gift.’ (Matt. 5:24).
If your sin has been in secret,
“pray to the Father which is in
secret, and he will reward you
openly,” says the Bible.
Usually, confession of sin dir
ectly to the Lord is sufficient.
But, as I said, if others have
been offended by your sin, then
the Scriptures indicate that we
are to make amends to those we
have offended also. If one has
been guilty of certain indiscre
tions with the opposite sex, and
these have not developed into
overt sin — these should be con
fessed to God. (I have known of
violent repercussions when such
indiscretions have been confess
ed to one’s spouse).
God says, ■“! will forgive
your sin and cleanse you from
all unrighteousness.

Editorial Roundup
Editors Comment
On Johnson
Georgia editors as well as those throughout the nation
and the world have commented variously on President
Johnson’s withdrawal from the campaign for election. The
Griffin Daily News already has expressed its opinion that
his was a statesmanlike act which has brought peace in
Vietnam closer than it had been. Here are editorials from
some other Georgia newspapers:
THE GAINESVILLE DAILY TIMES
If Lyndon Baines Johnson had the ambition to serve
again as President of the United States, he sacrificed it on
the altar of Vietnam.
His commitment to de-escalate the bombing of North
Vietnam, probably a move to prove that his critics are
wrong in saying that stopping the bombing will bring
peace talks, would have been interpreted as a political
tactic had he not withdrawn himself from the Presidential
campaign. His critics wopld have said, and he well knew
it, that halting the bombing of most of North Vietnam was
a Johnson gesture to take the wind from his opponents’
sails. He knows, too, that Hanoi might well have put a
similar interpretation on a bombing halt.
By holding the Presidency aloof from political clawing,
President Johnson’s grand gesture said more eloquently
than words could possibly have conveyed that he believes
America’s course in Southeast Asia is basically right and
just.
THE MOULTRIE OBSERVER
The foes of President Lyndon Johnson— and they all
are not American nationals qualified to vote—suddenly
find themselves with a problem of great significance. They
have lost their “whipping boy”.
No longer can the dissident voices, whether foreign or
domestic, hold to the negative line. They cannot criticize
what Mr. Johnson is doing in Vietnam, or what he isn’t
doing to promote peace. He has made the great sacrifice—
himself—in the interest of peace and harmony in the Far
East and at home. Candidates, parties and “anti” factions
must hereafter take-the positive approach or show them
selves for what many already have thought them to be—
opportunists with critical language but not dedication to
basic American principles.
THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE
... The question uppermost in the minds of many Amer
icans at this dramatic juncture in their history will almost
certainly be this: Can Mr. Johnson, as a lame duck Presi
dent, marshal the credence and the support necessary to
attain those goals which he said he feels can best be effect
ed by the action he took?
There will be some, as has already been evidenced, who
will not give Mr. Johnson credit for disinterested motives
in removing himself from the presidential race. It may be,
indeed, that he foresaw possible defeat; it could have been
that Mr. Johnson has simply become exhausted from the
awesome demands of his office.
Pending proof to the contrary, however, we will assume
that the President was motivated, as he said, by a sincere
desire to remove the war in Vietnam and the war on the
streets of America from White House politics.
It will require the cooperation of the Communists to ef
fect the former, the dedication of Americans to achieve the
latter.
WAYCROSS JOURNAL - HERALD
The immediate reaction of many is that the President
in some way is making himself a “personal sacrifice” in
order to show that his concern for the end of the hostilities
in Southeast Asia is beyond political consideration.
Those who know the President best have been saying
that he would stick it out despite the barrage of criticism
that has been rained down on him because of the unpopular
Vietnam conflict. They said it was not in his nature to re
move himself from the conflict.
But Lyndon Johnson confounded them Sunday night.
He seemed to be answering those who have charged in ad
vance that he would play politics with the war.
He also seemed to be saying to the North Vietnamese,
“This is your opening. The bombing of your cities has been
halted. I am removing myself from the political scene.
Let us now have peace.”
History has produced few greater surprises than that
Lyndon B. Johnson sprung on the nation and the world last
night.
THOMASTON TIMES
The jury of history is out on President Lyndon B. John
son now.
And the verdict isn’t expected for months yet.
But if he succeeds in winning the war in Vietnam, end
ing the war in Vietnam or turning the war there over to
the Vietnamese and bringing most of the American forces
home, then he will be the hero of the world.
Such a verdict would completely exonerate him and his
reasons given for turning his back on re-election would be
come valid.
Should his peace efforts fail and things go from bad
to worse, history will say that he saw the handwriting on
the wall and it said “LBJ can’t win.”
As for us, and we have had many misgivings about our
current Democratic president, we’ll give President Johnson
credit for a sincere effort and at this moment he appears to
have lifted the office of the presidency to a lofty place
long vacant.

Commando Charge
Mars His Hopes
By PHIL NEWSOM
L’PI Foreign News Analyst
Philippine President Ferdin
and has pleaded not
guilty to aggressive intent
against the Malaysian state of
Sabah.
But the charge that the
Philippines were in fact training
a commando force to infiltrate
the former British colony of
North Borneo persists and
seems likely to affect for a long
time to come his hopes of
emerging as a new spokesman
for Southeast Asia.
The charge and Marcos’
denial are results of a story
bizarre enough to equal the best
in cloak-and-dagger fiction.
It began In mid-March when
stories seeped out of the island
of Corregidor in Manila Bay,
World War II site of a heroic

the Japanese, of a mutiny in a
Special Forces group which
ended in the execution of from
five to 60 trainees.
Leader of the group was Maj.
Eduardo Martelino, who headed
up the Philippine army’s civil
affairs office, and was himself a
dashing and mysterious figure
who preferred his Moslem name
of Abdul Latif and who was
reported to have purchased his
young bride for $1,250 with a
couple of machine guns thrown
in.
Bride From Simunul
His bride came from the
Island of Simunul, some 40
miles off North Borneo.
On the island, he began
welding together his force of
Moslem tribesmen and army
officers.
Later, he transferred to
Corregidor for months of
further training under the most
rigorous conditions, which final
ly led to mutiny.
But this was not the climax of
the affair. The fat really fell
into the fire when a former
trainee testified during Philip
pine congressional hearings that
the real mission of the force
was the infiltration of Sabah.

residents of Sabah on grounds
they were infiltrators.
The embarrassed Marcos
denied the story and said the
Special Forces were being
trained for action against the
Communist-led native Hukbala

He disbanded all Special
Forces units in the army and
ordered a court-martial for
Martelino.
Malaysians Not Satisfied
It did not, however, satisfy
the Malaysians, just recovering
from a confrontation with
Indonesia on the same Issue,
This week, Dato Donald Ste
phens, former chief minister of
Sabah, accused the Philippine
government of attempting to
force the Issue by military
means.
“We had expected better
things of Marcos,” he said, a
comparatively mild statement
when considering the issue.
The Philippine claim on Sabah
goes back to a deal made
between the Sultan of Sulu and
the British East India Company
in 1710 and to a confusing series
of agreements which followed
involving Britain, Spain, the
United States and to some
extent Austria.
The Philippines claim that
since Sulu is Philippine, so is
North Borneo. No other nation
has supported the claim.

U.S. War Role in Vietnam
Bolsters Thailand, Laos
By RAY.CROMLEY
NEA Washington Correspondent
BANGKOK—(NEA)
It gives one strong pause to hear the troubled thoughts of
Thai and Lao men and women in all walks of life whobelieve
their lives, their hopes for the future and the very existence
of their countries depend on the willingness of the United
States to sacrifice its young men to protect a very small
nation more than 8,000 miles away.
Some Americans may have doubts about why we are in
Vietnam. Butthere’snodoubt in the minds of the Thai and
Lao this reporter has met up with here and in Vientiane and
in the miles in between.
The Thai government’s backing is firm and unwavering.
It has been picking from among its best troops for additional
forces to fight side by side with American units in the war.
But this reporter found admiration for the U.S. defense of
South Vietnam equally strong among the major opposition
political groups and among ordinary people.
Typical was a long talk this reporter had with one of the
grand old men of Thailand—a blunt, frank patriot who has
been out of power since the military government was estab
lished more than a decade ago. He fought the Japanese as a
leader in the Free Thai Movement in World War 11.
“I don’t know how you can do it” he said—“to fight for a
small country so far away. But it is a wonderful thing that
you are doing.
“If you were not there in Vietnam, my country would go
down also.
“The big fear here is that you will leave, that you will get
tired of this effort that is costing you so much. Already there
are the rumors.
“It seems impossible for us to believe that you will con
tinue these big sacrifices for Vietnam and us. I don't know
how the mothers can stand to see their sons go. But we are
thankful that you do this.
“If you leave, the North Vietnamese will take us for sure.
We would accommodate, as we did when the Japanese came
—on the surface. Underneath, we would resist. We would
smile and say ‘Yes, sir.’ But we would slow them down. We
would be like—what do you say—mush. And they would be
sorry that they came.
“But we would have no country either.”
In Laos, the story is the same. “The North Vietnamese
could and would take us over in a few weeks if you weren’t
in Vietnam,” said one official. His words were echoed by all
Lao this reporter met, high and low, in government and out
The people in Laos feel very much alone out at the end of
things. Their economy is hurting badly because of the North
Vietnamese raids on the rice-growing regions and the high
costs of the war. They are up against superior numbers of
North Vietnamese troops.
Their situation would seem hopeless. But to the Lao who
talked to me, there wlll be hope so long as the United States
stands strong in Vigtpam. and in Thailand,
