“The Pestless Ones” Need You
Today marks a significant event, which the en
tire county has joined in sponsoring. Showing
of the widely discussed film, "The Restless
Ones”, begins at the Strand Theater in Coving
ton, at 6:00 p. m. Thursday night; and will con
tinue with 6:00 and 8:30 p. m. showings through
Saturday night, with a 3:30 p. m. matinee to be
shown on Saturday afternoon.
The film, a factual revelation of America’s
youth, shows it “like it is”. But, it is not just
an indictment or critique of these, who are
At one time or another we’ve all heard or
voiced complaints about the meager display of
Old Glory on national holidays. More often
than not the outcry is justified. Many folks
are just too darned lazy to raise the Stars and
Stripes. Others take advantage of the holiday
to travel away from home and fear they will
not return until after dark and in time to lower
the flag.
Many businesses are closed on legal holi
days and it is an inconvenience for the pro
prietor to go down to the place of business to
put up the flag in the morning and then return
to lower it in the evening.
Down in Salem, Arkansas, the Jaycees have
come up with a wonderful solution to the pro
blem—a solution so simple and logical that it
has added a great deal to the community’s
business district and to the Jaycees’ own im
age as community leaders.
The Salem Jaycees furnish a flag to any bu
siness that requests one. The members put up
the flag on holidays, take them down in the even-

ringing bells, exuberant sirens, tears of joy and
prayers of thanksgiving marked the signing of
World War I’s Armistice, on another Monday,
November 11, 1918. The world rejoiced that it
had triumphed in the “War to end all wars.”
But, mankind had underestimated its own lust
for wealth and power. For, barely a quarter of
a century later the sons of those who had “Saved
the World for Democracy”, were filling their fa
thers’ trench boots, and many of their graves on
foreign soil in World War 11. Another treaty; but,
demands of power hungry nations posed question
marks around a lasting peace. And in the latter
stages of the War, Christian America had allied
itself with an atheistic nation, as an expedient
measure toward victory.
Subsequenty came the “Korean Conflict”,
militant conflagrations throughout the world; the
“Berlin Incident”, “Cuban Crisis,” and Viet
Nam, which is a “cold war” only to those not
fighting in the rice paddies and jungles of Asia.
With the potential of nuclear weapons, our youths
today are fighting for the greatest stake in his-
The August issue of The American Legion
Magazine carried an article reporting on a De
fense Department survey concerning the num
ber of American servicemen who have sought
haven in foreign countries in order to escape
their military obligations.
It revealed that of all the thousands of Gl’s in
various posts around the globe, a mere 282 have
sought asylum in other nations to elude the au
thorities. Os these 282 only 181 were citizens
of the United States. Fifty of them have already
returned to face the music.
In the same two-year period covered by the
survey prepared for Congress more than 25,000
European-based soldiers have volunteered to go on
active duty in Vietnam. During the same period,
more than 60,000 of the young Americans in that
war zone have requested extension of their tour of
duty for a minimum of six months beyond the
normal one year of combat.
The figures prompted us to dig into the files

A little-known phase of the Vietnamese war

days a year; the total cost is a mere $lO. per
year per flag.
The project reached its high point on Labor
Day, when 48 flags were raised over Salem.
Since then, six more businesses have requested
the service.
Now the Jaycees have undertaken to offer the
same service to homeowners. They’ve set a
goal of 75 flags for Thanksgiving Day.

traveler got when he drove through Salem on
Labor Day?
But never mind the out-of-towner. Imagine
the pride of the businessmen in Salem.
It’s a capital idea, and there Isn’t any patent

Last week we examined the ex

earnestly warns his followers of
their moral responsibility as dis
ciples of Christ. Through the
verses which constitute the open
ing of our lesson today we dis
cern a mixture of serious warn
ing and joyful expectation. Peter
had been called to be chief of the
apostles, and the Master had de
clared that upon this man and
his penetrating insight into divine
truth Christ would build his ch
urch (Matt. 16:18).
In today’s lesson we encounter
the warning Peter gave in
Christ’s name that confession of
Christ as Lord and Master in
volved the living of both a right
eous and thoroughly useful life.
Belief is important in religion,
but equally important is the liv
ing of a good life in the name of
Jesus Christ, for his sake, and
through the power of his pre
sence.
“According as his divine po
wer hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and god

ye might be partakers of the di
vine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world

Note first that the writer of
this epistle assures us that it is
through the power definitely given
us by God that we are able to
live righteous and self-control
led lives.

our church duties, disciplining
our wayward impulses. These
things we must do, but in them
selves they will not produce sal
vation.
For salvation is the pouring
of God’s forgiving love into our
hearts, wiping out the iniquity of
the past and sustaining and guid
ing us as regards the future.
What we Christians need to
learn, and keep on learning
throughout the whole of our lives,
is that after we have done every
thing we can to prepare our hearts
to receive God’s grace, the power
of God is poured into our hearts,
wiping out the guilt of sin (al
though not always the consequen
ces) and sustaining us continually
with a divine power.
We thus become partakers of
the divine nature. Through faith
we become the objects of divine
favor, the recipients of the di
vine bounty — best of all, par
takers of the divine life.
For in the lives of those who
have received Christ as Lord and
Saviour a great experience of joy
and assurance begins. Heaven
and he’l both begin on earth and
both are consummated in the
world to come. The sincere Ch
ristian has the secret of a happy
life. He does what he can to
thrust evil out of his life and
supplant this evil with good, but
in the end it takes the loving po
wer of God to save us effectively
and completely from the power of
sin.
In this epistle, Peter care
fully details the duties required
of a sincere Christian. God’s
power is fighting for us. The
experience of release from the
bondange of sin depends finally
upon an act of God.
In listing Christian virtues,
Peter puts faith first. In Heb
rews, chapter 11, we find faith
defined as: “The substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.” Better still
is the translation “Now faith is
the giving of substance to things
hoped for, the evidence of things
not seen.”
Faith is a spiritual power which
enables us to surrender our lives
to God and along with Him build
up righteous living for ourselves
and others.
Virtue is to be added to faith.
“And to virtue (add)knowledge,”
for our Christian conduct is never
firmly established until we can
give a reason for the faith that
is in us.
We are not to accept Chris
tian revelation unthinkingly. We
are to serve God by the use of
our minds and to discover more
and more as time goes on the na
ture of God and his will for the
world.

let us “wait upon the Lord,” and
let Him direct our pace and re

from start to finish and as we
walk into the uninown future let
us be thankful that “just beyond

Dear Mr. Mallard:
I wish to take exception with
your editorial “Dixie” appearing
in the October 26 edition of “The
News”. I also, am a Southerner
with deep roots in Newton Coun
ty, a fact of which I am proud.
However, when I think of my
Southern Heritage I think fore
most, of the principles of dig
nity, courtesy, and respect for
my fellow man which Iwas taught
as a child. If I can listen to “Di
xie” and be reminded of these
more noble aspects of my South
ern Heritage, then this song is
one of pride. However, if this
song reminded me of enslave
ment and oppression I would
find it offensive, indeed, in re
cent years as I have heard this
song in association with the
“KKK”, night riders, and other
expressions of Southern “self
defeatism” it has taken on some
sour notes.
I would like to site a parallel
from my present situation. Se
veral years ago, it was customary
for Public Health Service Offi
cers not to wear their dress blue
uniforms while serving on Indian
reservations. This was done be
cause the older Indians as
sociated these uniforms with the
blue uniforms of the U. S. Ca
valry which had enforced unen
lightened and undignified govern
ment policies upon them. Cer
tainly the wearing of a united
States Government Uniform can
not usually be considered offen
sive. Most of us are proud to
wear it. However, since the uni
form did provoke distasteful me
mories in a certain segment of the
population, it was not worn.
I feel that a similar situation
exists with the playing of “Dix
ie”. If “Dixie” reminds many
Southerns of a time when they
were not treated as individuals
then those more noble aspects of
our Southern Heritage, courtesy
and respect for others, should
dictate that we refrain.
Sincerely,

“The Christian and Politics’’
By E. Owen Kellum, Jr. Pastor,
First United Methodist Church
This past Tuesday we went to
the polls to make our choice as
to what man and what political
party we should like to have lead
our country for the next four
years. But even though the elec
tion is over, the issues are not
going to leave us alone. They
will return again and again. With
this in mind there is a verse
in the 25th Psalm that we ought
to give some thought to. “Who
is the man that fears the Lord?
Him will he instruct in that way
that he should choose.’’ Or, as
Moffatt translates it, “Whoever
reverences the Eternal learns
what is the right course to take.”
How does such reverence help
us with the decisions we, along
with our national leaders, have
to make regarding the course of
our nation? One thing it does is
to give us perspective. Religion
measures life by its farthest
horizons and not by its immediate
vexations or desires. Reverence
for God means some time along
with the Creator of all men with
the door closed to the tumult of
the street. We need to see life
steadily and see it whole. Then
we realize that there are other
people in the world besides our
selves and other years besides
this year, and then we can dis
cover again what is great and
good and praiseworthy in God’s
world.
Further, reverence for God
helps us to discover a trend.
Surely this world of ours is
going somewhere. This earth
is more than just a vast mac
hine hurling itself blindly through
space with darkness and silence
at the beginning and darkness and
silence at the end. The earth
was meant for life, and life must
have been meant for truth and
beauty and goodness and broth
erhood and peace. Reverence for
God helps us to look at life
from our Father’s viewpoint,
helps us to see the world that
ought to be, where truth no lon
ger stands far off, where jus
tice is no longer fallen in the
streets, where the poor no lon
ger huddle in ghettoes, where
children no longer cry through
the night for the bread of love.
The real struggle of our
world today is not political but
moral and spiritual. Tbe real
struggle is between those who
are self - centered, who use
every invention and resource to
gratify their lust for posses
sion; and those who do justly,
love mercy, and walk humbly

Finally, reverence for God
will keep a person humble as he
makes his decision. It is one of
the paradoxes of our nature that
we are always repons ible for the
consequences of anything that we
decide to do, and yet we are often
incompetent both in wisdom and
in strength. We are never ab
solutely virtuous, for even our
purest thoughts are seldom free
from the bias of self-regard.
Undue surrender to self - re
gard is perhaps the most danger
ous pitfail of all. We should
never have heard of Christianity
if its earliest leaders had as
ked, “How will this affect me?’’
We should never have inherited
our great American traditions
if the founders of our nation had
said, “How will this affect me?’’
Their lives, their fortunes, their
sacred honor, were invested in
their decision. What becomes of
Christianity, what becomes of de
mocracy, if men and women look
at an issue, and ask only one
question: “How will this af
fect me?’’ The bias of self
regard is extremely dangerous.
This is particularly true in the
realm of politics. Politics is
the science of the possible. It
must bring down what ought to be
to the level of what can be.
And when there are coalitions
composed of rival and contrast
ing interests, held together by
uneasy compromises, employ
ing dubious means, offering es
sentially the same promises to
the nation, if there is an ethi
cal margin between them, it is
surely narrow and obscure.
In the Civil War, when there
seemed to so many to be a great
moral issue at stake, Lincoln
brooded over the strange fact
that both sides read the same
Bible and prayed to the same
God. And reflecting on the moral
and religious aspects of the stru
ggle, he wrote, “In the pre
sent Civil War, it is quite pos
sible that God’s purpose is some
thing different from the purpose
of either party.’’
That was the humility in which
a man of deep faith regarded his
greatest decision. And yet there
was no timidity, no failure of
nerve, for we must “finish the
work we are in. . .firm in the
right as God gives us to see
the right.’*
Thus it will be in any decision
that we as a people and a nation
shall make in the next four years,
that whoever reverences the
Eternal God, and looks from a
high perspective, and sees the
trend of God’s increasing pur
pose, and is humble in spirit,
will learn what course to take.
