Show Some Timely Editorials SOCIAL SECURITY, MADE INTO LAW BY MAN, SANCTIONED BY THE MASTER As for us we go all out for all forms of social securitv for the laborers, the aged, the widow and orphan, the disabled, the sick, the blind, the poor. We believe that the social security secur-ity laws made by the government are the fine flowering of the spirit of Jesus into the politics of these times. It is the law. It is the constitution working out among men its general welfare wel-fare clause. To strike it down, as reactionaries are trying to do, would belike striking down any other part of the constitution consti-tution or any other law. It is no more right to deny the forms of assistance named above than it would be to cut off all the salaries of all the officials. When we take note of how pleased and happy are thousands thou-sands of poor people over the assistance given them it makes our heart rejoice and we feel that we know that it has the Master's Mas-ter's benediction. On the other hand when we ' see the cold materialism that is out to destroy all social security it deeply grieves us and causes us to feel that such is not the spirit of true and undefiled religion. |
