REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE
WE ENTER the New Year with a change of administrations
and several significant shifts of positions in the Congress.
It is far too early to make any concrete predictions on just
what course the United States government will take in the months
ahead in dealing with the many complicated domestic and foreign
problems that are still very much with us.
But at this point we can and do hope that the days to come
will bring renewed strength and unity to the people of our great
nation. It appears that Mr. Nixon has selected an able Cabinet,
and he has demonstrated concern about the extremely critical
social and economic problems that confront the United States,
as well as the desire to press for an honorable settlement to the
war in Viet Nam at the earliest possible moment.
* ♦ ♦
MANY OF THESE problems, in fact most of them, cross
party lines and. in my judgment, most members of Congress and
public servants will put the country’s welfare above party and
not resort to partisan politics on worthwhile programs that affect
the economic stability of our nation and the well-being of all our
people.
I certainly hope this will be the case and that sectional, political,
and racial unity can he restored throughout all the United States
in the common pursuit of solutions to the nation's problems.
It is my feeling that our greatest needs lie in the areas of edu
cation and job training. We must have less talk about guaranteeing
this and giving that, and more emphasis on schooling and training
and the creation of more and better jobs. This is the way to bring
about real solutions to unemployment, poor housing, and hard
core poverty, and not through giveaway programs that stifle per
sonal initiative and treat symptoms but not causes.
Every possible effort must be made to find the ways and means
for expanding opportunities in education and job training that
will better enable people to get a good job at a decent wage—
whether they live in the crowded city or in a rural area.
Jobs, jobs and more jobs and the ability of people to seek,
find and fill these jobs will provide the answers we all want. In
working toward these goals, 1 hope we can also have a rebirth
of the ideal that people work for what they get and the harder
they work and the more diligently they apply their God-given
abilities, the higher and more satisfying the rewards.

If We Knew Our Need, No. 3- 69
Would We Make It Profitable to Us?
Labor not for the meat that perisheth, but
for that meat which endureth unto ever
lasting life, which the Son of man giveth
(John 6:27). A lesson should be learned from
those who labor for and have acquired an
abundance of this world's goods. Do we
hear them speaking of peace that passeth
understanding (Phil. 4:7) or of joy unspeak
able (1 Peter 1:8), of trouble on every side,
yet they are not distressed, perplexed but
not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken,
cast down, but not destroyed (2 Cor. 4:8-9).
There are those who can testify that there
is a labor that brings richer things than the
world has to offer They are things that were
meant for all men and are possible to all
men who have faith in them, and will labor
for them.
Wide is the gate and broad is the way which
multitudes are travelling, but strait is the
gate and narrow is the way and few there
be that labor for the meat that endureth
unto everlasting life. This labor is a labor
to cast off the works of darkness and to put
on the armor of light (Rom. 13:12) to cast
out the beams that are in our eyes (Matt.
7:5) and if our hand or our foot offend us, to
cut them off, and cast them from us, and if
our eye offend us to pluck it out and cast it
from us (Matt. 18:8-9).
Peace that passeth understanding, and joy
unspeakable comes only to men who have
found a treasure hid in a field and for joy
thereof have sold all that they have, and
bought the field or have found one pearl of
great price, and sold all and bought it (Matt.
13:44-46). No need of man is as great as
his need to discover that which is symbolized
in God's word as treasure hid in a field, or
one pearl of great price, on which the judg
ment of men will place such value that all
other things which are dear to men will be
counted but dung, and rejected (Phil. 3:8).
All of men's labor should be spent to gain
the greater things. Love not the world, nei
ther the things that are in the world, if any
man love the world, the love of the Father
is not in him (1 John 2:15).
The field in which hidden treasure is buried,
awaiting search and discovery by man, is
everywhere and nowhere, and the pearl of
great price is everything, and nothing, de
pending upon whether men are looking not
upon the things which are seen and are
temporal but upon the things which are not
seen and eternal.
Without holiness no man shall see the Lord

(Heb. 12:14). If seeing the Lord and being
received by him is the highest reach obtain
able by men, holiness is revealed as the
treasure hid in a field, and the one pearl of
great price for which all is to be sold and
reception by God made sure. Prayer is need
ful, but it is not holiness, attending church
is needful, but is not holiness. Nothing will
take the place of holiness in God's plan for
the salvation of men. Though men speak
with the tongues of men and of angels, have
the gift of prophecy, understand all mys
teries and knowledge, have faith to remove
mountains, bestow all his goods to feed the
poor, and give his body to be burned, but
lacks the holiness of God, he is as sounding
brass or a tinkling cymbal (1 Cor. 13:1-3).
Be ye therefore perfect, even as he is per
fect (Matt. 5:48).
''And he gave some, apostles; and some,
prophets; and some evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of
the saints, for the work of the ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all
come in the unity of the faith, and the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ (Eph. 4:11-13).
Members of the church are in general a
sorry lot and slow in coming unto the meas
ure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
They are barren of the fruit of the circum
cision that is made without hands (Col.
2:11). They are not eating of the bread
which came down from heaven, that a man
may eat thereof and not die. Jesus said, I
am the living bread which came down'from
heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he
shall live forever; and the bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.
Verily, verily I say unto you, Except ye eat
the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his
blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth
my flesh and drinketh my blood hath eter
nal life; and I will raise him up at the last
day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my
blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my
flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me,
and I in him. As the living Father hath sent
me, and I live by the Father; so he that eat
eth me shall live by me (John 6:50-57). The
eating of the bread from heaven and ab
staining from the table of devils is the re
quirement for a life with God, and the sub
stance of the new covenant.

As a small boy was prepar
ing for his first day at school
his pleasure in his new lunch
box was being spoiled by con
cern that he would not be able
to identify it. His mother had
carefully printed his name on
the box, but of course, as yet.
he could not read.
Suddenly, his face lighted
up as he exclaimed: “Oh, 1
won’t be using ny lunch box
until noon, and by then I’ll
know how to read!”
