Freedom and morality are indivisible.

In America, the reading of the Bible in public schools is now considered illegal, but it is not illegal to read degenerate filth or material the advocating overthrow of our nation by force.

As the Apostle Paul said: Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty. There will never be peace in the world until the Prince of Peace rules the lives of men. During most of His adult life Christ was surrounded by soldiers, yet He never once intimated that they remove their should uniforms or should refuse to fight for their country. On the Christ contrary, admonished His followers to obey the laws of their land and to render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesars, and unto God the things which be Gods.

We cannot go forth into all the world and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. if we deny Jesus Christ in the United Nations, in our schools,1 and We in WHAT IS MORALITY? What is morality? Its what the Bible says it is -not what some left wing, overeducated professor or a modernism preacher may claim. God is dead, man is God, the clay has become the the potter, say modernist theologians and the Communists. Some call it humanism, which is defined as: Any- view in which interest in human welfare (three hots a day and a good place to flop) takes precedence over the laws of God and of man. our daily lives.

So now I am being subjected to harassment from the City Fathers. I measured my property and found I had fences which had been moved and a sheep lane cut through the property, cutting off nearly 30 feet of the property I was buying. So I simply put up fences in the proper locations and since then I have been threatened by the use of the City Police, the Hiway Patrol, and the National Guard, when 1 told the mayor and the city attorney that I would not allow them to take my property for public use without just compensation. I stated in no uncertain terms that my guns were loaded and that anyone attempting to take my property illegally, would do so with my shotgun barrel In his face.

Dear Editor In reading and suporting your paper, I find it to be very informative along well known lines. However, I would like to point out that I noticed that with some exceptions, there is not too much information contained in your paper of people who are fighting the things you are also holding in contempt. 1 am not anxious for I am' a former comheadlines. munist, and I am fighting tooth and nail to stop the land use, OSHA and others. I am willing to expose my fight for others to read, even though I know it will only cause me more harassment and trouble. I left Summit County and moved to Mt. Pleasant because I could see that I had no way to fight the coming socialism which has taken place in Summit County. I bought a lot here in Mt. Pleasant and before I bought the lot, I questioned the city clerk and mayor concerning building permits. I was assured that none would be needed. So I bought the lot and now that I have my house, garage and other buildings started, I am told I need a permit and that I must submit to U.S. government specifications and inspections in order to build.

Very roughly, the increase in the quantity of money also measures the rate at which inflation is proceeding. It bears a similar relationship to advancing wages, prices, and debt. Until we stop increasing the quantity of money and deficit spending, there is no hope of stopping inflation. We ane hurtling headlong toward completing the destruction of the dollar. Like the prodigal son we are squandering our heritage. It took many generations of Americans to accumulate the wealth of our country and we are now dissipating it at an alarming rate. Living beyond our means and having things we cannot pay for, resulting in steadily increasing debt, are about to dethrone this nation. Wc must learn to live within our means, or we are going bankrupt with a degree of suffering and chaos that wc cannot even imagine. Lenin told us the way to destroy a nation is to corrupt its money. Cant we learn? Or must we add another horrible example to the long list which history supplies for us', showing the downfall of one civilization after another when sound money that is not subject to inflation is replaced with fiat money having no intrinsic value. Greshems law that bad money always drives out good money has been demonstrated in our country. The gold and the silver is gone. We have nothing left but worthless paper. ANSWER: Stop spending more than we have. Balance the budget and return to the gold standard. No policies needs. News items Must Be Fully Docuntented. We want to print ONLY THE TRUTH! Many Since the middle of the year, the quantity of money in our country has been growing at the annual rate of 7.8 percent, and has recently reached a total of $307.4 billion dollars.

The challenge is: Faith in God or faith in man? THERE IS LIBERTY of faith in Christ is our nations - and the Loss worlds problem. - most serious When men lose Him, they turn to the State. When men lose Him, they compromise, appease, lie, and make war. The collectivists, anarchists and atheists must destroy our faith in Christ in order to take over the world. Unless we can our recapture Christian spirit and establish our Christian values, we will soon lose our freedom of choice with respect to all of lifes values. The time could steal The Bible is not tolerant; its narrowminded. And the so is the compass table, the multiplication boiling and freezing points of water, all nature and the Kingdom of Heaven. The Gates of Hell, on the other hand, are broadminded -open to situational ethics. God, the Bible, sin, and Jesus Christ are not. They are rigid and unchanging. as Ten Just the Commandments are forever the same, a true Christian has a standard beyond change. God is not only everywhere but God is forever the same: Jesus same the Christ, yesterday, forever. and today (Hebrews 13:8).
