altogether possible that we have been announcing one thing
and accomplishing another.
What we have told the world may not necessarily be
the truth — God grant that it hasn’t been. If it has been,
then we better “pull in our horns” and keep our mouths
shut as Russia has done. Primarily, we are a peaceful
country. Primarily, too, we want to be friends with the
world, but when fools like Khrushchev and Castro come
along, what are we to do? To fight means American lives.
God grant that this will not happen again. This thought
persists: Why should two ungodly fools wreck the millions
of people of the world ? The kaiser tried it in the teens and
he failed. Hitler and Mussolini tried it in the 40’s and
they, too, failed and died in disgrace. And now Khrush-
chev and Castro. They, too, will fail because there is a
greater power than either of them watching over His free
people.

AMERICA — PRIMARILY AND TODAY
GOD grant that it will never happen, but world events
of the last few years, especially the last few months indi-
cate strongly that America is more and more being put on
a defensive spot instead of being the world leader she was
primarily intended to be by our foresighted founding fath-
ers, one of whom was George Washington. In his God-
given wisdom, President Washington said in his farewell
address, “Avoid Foreign Entanglements.” We did until
the late 1930’s when we “recognized” Russia as a member
of the family of nations. Since then we have known only
international turbulence, intrigue and distrust. Today, a
fool named Khrushchev of Russia is “out to get us.” He
will not conquer us because he does not believe in the pow-
er of the Almighty, the one and only Power that, in the
end, will prevail.
But we are in trouble. We are in trouble at home as
well as abroad. And what are most of us doing about it?
Nothing. We go to work, eat regularly, come home and
listen and watch our favorite television shows and go to
bed in comfortable quarters. We are in trouble at home
because of the desegregation movement. We have forgot-
ten the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, which reads:
n- “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Cre-
ator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness .. . . ” No religion,
no race, no color is mentioned here. All that is mentioned
is “all men . . . .” And, of course, it also means women.
We need also to do a little reflecting about the second
greatest song that has ever been written about America.
The “Star Spangled Banner,” which was written at Fort
Mc.Henry, Maryland, where we have visited on several
occasions, is, of course, first, but next to the National An-
them is “America.” Virtually every American knows the
first verse, but how many know the fourth and last verse?
Here are the words:
“Our father’s God, to thee.
“Author of liberty,
“To thee we sing.
‘Tong may our land be bright
“With freedom’s holy light;
“Protect us by tbv mivht
“Great God, our King.”
Would Khrushchev ever sing a song like this? Would
the bearded fool of Cuba’ Surely, America’s millions can
put these two fools in their place, but we cannot do it bv
continuing an anathetic attitude toward our own land. W«
have got to wake up. We have got to fight, not with bul-
lets. but with brains. We lead the world in transportation •
we lead the world in education and in medicine and in all
else.
Prayerfully —
“Long may our land be bright
“With freedom’s holv light.”
BIBLE THOUGHT
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow or
hast thou seen the treasures of the hail? —Job 39:22
GOOD RIDDANCE
IT was good riddance last Thursday when old Khrush-
chev, fist-pounding exponent of everything that is against
Americanism and the freedom of peoples, went back to
Russia, where he belongs—if he belongs anywhere. The
Russian dictator made a fool of himself from the moment
he landed on free soil until he left that soil. No American
has ever in all history gone to a foreign land and made
such a fool nf himself as old Khrushchev made of himself
in New York.
If the Russian dictator had brains enough to realize
facts he would have realized that this was the first time
that America has not ordinarily welcomed a head of state
with full pomp and ceremonv. It is definitely to President
Eisenhower’s credit that Mr. Eisenhower made no effort
to greet the greatest enemy America has ever known, and
it is to Mr. Eisenhower’s further credit that he accorded no
more consideration to the visit here of another self-styled
“head-of-state,” the bearded fool of Cuba, Fidel Castro.
Old Khrushchev came here for only one reason.
He came here to wreck the United Nations. It is unfortu-
nate that the United States spent so many millions of dol-
lars to establish the United Nations in this country, and
agreed to nay most of the costs. At least, we are doing it.
Montague countians who have visited the UN know, as we
do after several visits to the UN, that the United Nations
building in New York is the last word in beauty and design.
It is elaborate and dazzling to the average visitor, but does
the average visitor from here or other parts of the coun-
try realize that within these elaborate and dazzling cham-
bers there is taking place a program that is not all-out
American ?
It is. however, to the credit of the United Nations that
Khrushchev was “nut in his place” by the UN’s refusal to
bow to his demands. It can be assumed that the dictator
enjoyed his stav here, "thanks to some of America’s news-
papers and radio and television commentators.” Too many
daily newspapers, too many radio and television commen-
tators accorr,ori bim too many courtesies such as referring
to him as “Mr. K.” instead of referring to him as our
country’s worst enemy. These newspapers and commen-
tators nicked up w’here President Eisenhower left off.
“Mr. K?” Nuts! “Mr. Dictator” or “Mr. Destroyer
of Freedom” would be more apnropriately expressed. In
his last apnearance, unfortunately, before the United Na-
tions, old Khrushchev virtually dared the United States to
start a war against Russia. Human lives mean nothing
to him, but they do to Americans, who live under Christian
rules against his ungodly policy.
The urge is strong to "take him up” on this assertion,
but who would pay the price? First, it would be the "cream
of the cron” of our country’s boys. We’ve had enough of
this. We had it in 1917; we had it in the 40’s and we had
it again in Truman’s “police action” in Korea. Dictator
Khrushchev said in the UN that Russia leads the world in
missiles. It is altogether possible that he doesn’t know
what he is talking about. America has been too loose in
announcing our failures in missile production, but it is
