Christianity. Christianity, not food -Christianity, not the United is the hope of the Nations world, and the only hope. The peace Christ often talked about was not the peace preached by our pacifists and hippies. In Matthew 10:34 Christ said: Think not that I am come-tsend peace on earth; I come not to send peace; but a sword. Christs sword was for cleaving sharply between right and wrong, between God and Satan. Christs peace was not between men and nations. Christ was speaking of ones individual peace, the peace of mind and heart to be achieved through oneness with Him. In John 14:27 he said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. The Prince of Peace knew no peace during His short time on earth. A - William Lyons ' Phelps used to tell of an incident that took place in the first World War.

Suddenly the air was pierced with the scream of a - fallen German he had been shot out there between the enemy positions. He lay foe. ns The Americans saw what he was doing and stopped shooting. A German officer saw what was taking place and called for a cease fire. A wierd silence settled over the battlefield. At long last the young American reached the side of the wounded man and tenderly lifted him into his arms. Then he started walking toward the German positions. Gently he lowered the man into the outstretched arms of his comrades. Having done that he turned about and started back. A German officer leaped from the trench, him by the shoulder and turned him about. Finding it difficult to grabbed CEASE FIRE American, young control his emotions, he took the Iron Cross (the German medal for bravery) from his own uniform and pinned it on the jacket of the American. With that the two men returned to their companies and the carnage was resumed.

Copies of the interview will be supplied to local Catholic papers in these states and local supporters of Reagan will make personal contact with church leaders to be sure they are fully briefed on his antiabortion stand. Senator Jesse Helms (R. N.C.), one of Reagans brain-truste- rs and a leading foe against abortion in the Senate, believes the former California Governors support for a Constitutional Amendment will attract a large Catholic following. A deacon in the Baptist Church, Senator Helms also believes Reagans stand will boost his standing among members of other Christian churches in the South and Midwest where traditional morality is still strong. The abortion issue could be the real sleeper of the 1976 come. NOEL! NOEL! is Peace on earth be will no There prophetic. peace on earth until Jesus comes. The Prince of Peace, when - He descends, will bring it with Him. It is said that on the night before Christmas, 1870, the French and German armies were facing each other. A French soldier received permission to leave the lines. He walked toward the Germans. His comrades watched with bated breath, listening lest there should be the crack of a rifle, and their fellow should fall and bite the dust. When he had gotten well toward their lines he suddenly stopped and began to 'sing the Christmas song, the refrain of which was, Noel, Noel! Christ is King in Israel. The German soldiers did not stir, their hearts beat more quickly and their thoughts were carried back to happy groups gathered about brilliantly-lighte- d Neither Christianity nor Communism can mellow. If either mellows, it ceases to be. Neither the nature nor the goals of either has changed. As Nesta Webster said so well, our Saviour was a from the money-changethe temple. He did not tell men to forgive the enemies of their country or of their religion, but only their private enemies. Socialism teaches that a man must never rest content as long as another man possesses that which he has not. Christ did not believe in equality of payment when He told the parable of the ten talents rs and the THE ONLY PEACE Prior to His Second Coming, the only way well ever have permanent world peace is to surrender to the Comrats: the peace of prison, the peace after the firing squad has fired, the peace of the mass grave -that's peace, Communist style. There will never be peace in the world until the Prince of Peace rules the lives of men. -- American Way Features 20.9 bushels. And the production comparisons are even more stark in other major grains. Today, the United States has 5 of its labor force in agriculture. Russia has 34 of its workers on farms: China 67 and India 69. From 1971 to 1974, those 5 of U.S. workers produced enough wheat to allow this country to export 67 of it. What is the key to the amazing success of American agriculture? The answer was given in a recent newspaper interview by Dawson Ahalt, the USDAs staff economist. The answer lies in the competitive spirit that has always characterized American agriculture, said Ahalt. In other systems where you dont have a profit incentive, such as Russia, you can send a crew out to work a farm, but you just wont get the same output from them. Our system is theres noother like it in the world. unique Chalk one up for American agriculture the ultimate answer to those who argue the merits of a socialist as opposed to a free enterprise way of doing business. -- The Wink Bulletin - President campaign, states The pro-lif- e Senator Helms. groups are now well organized throughout the country and they plan to go all out to elect candidates that will put an end to this massive killing of the unborn." Political aides of President Ford agree that the abortion controversy could become a factor in n the primary battles but that this depends on the direction that the Catholic bishops call for political involvement takes. These political advisers of the President are counting on the antiabortion groups to concentrate on the Congressional primaries rather than the Presidential nolhinating races. Pro-lif- e support for Reagan is to be countered by having Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, a long time backer of abortion on demand, rally groups to actively support the President in the key primary states. POLITICAL FLASHES The White House is bending over backward to avoid any hint of scandal that might emerge in the 1976 Presidential campaign. President Fords staff has been reminded in detail about laws and rules that govern personal activity, Ford-Reaga- unprofitable servant. Socialism would reduce all labor to the pace of the slowest.

Although the latest proposals to sell American grain to the Soviet Union, Poland and other countries are being roundly debated in the U.S., there is another aspect of the situation that begs attention. That aspect: the irony of these socialist systems banging on the door of the bastion of capitalism for assistance in feeding their people. If Communism, and its socialist economic system, is truly the wave of the future as its adherents claim, why does the capitalist system consistently outproduce its socialist competitors? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. grain harvest this year again is a banner one. The corn harvest is estimated at a record S.7 billion bushels. And the wheat crop, totaling 2.1 billion bushels, is 19 larger than the record 1974 crop. Russia has been producing wheat for hundreds of years in its rich black-so- il belt stretching for 1,500 miles across its south. Although that country farms on considerably more land than the U.S., it still fails to produce enough to feed its people consistently. In 1974, while America was producing 27.4 bushels of wheat to the acre, the Soviet Union was producing THE SLEEPER ISSUE . pro-aborti- including the on receiving of Christmas gifts.. ..Government workers are in for a shock.

This is nonsense. Virtually every kind of socialism has been tried - and failed -centuries ago. Take the efforts of the F.D.A. to protect our health by certain kinds of restricting vitamins, for instance. The concept is as new as the Sumptuary Laws of Ancient Rome. In that slave state, administrative fiats spelled out how many guests you could have at a party, how much each guest could eat, and even what the guests were permitted to wear. It seems John II.
