ye brought the sheaf of the wave-
offering; seven sabbaths shall
there be complete; even unto the
morrow after the seventh sabbath
shall ye number fifty days; and
ye shall offer a new meal-offering
unto Jehovah.”
Now we know that beginning
the morrow after the sabbath
and numbering seven sabbaths,
begin with the first day of the
week in the numbering.
The first day of the week is one,
the seventh day of the week is
seven. That is that week, but you
have to number unto seven sab-
baths, so seven times seven, seven
days in each week, seven times
seven.
The forty-ninth day is again
the sabbath, the fiftieth day, you
have Pentecost. That is literally
the meaning of Pentecost, fiftieth.
It was the fiftieth day from
the time they began that number-
ing and it was always the morrow
after the sabbath.
So when the day of Pentecost
was fully come, that being the
first day of the week, the disciples
were gathered together and there
the Holy Spirit came upon them.
Whenever the disciples were
gathered together Jesus had said
he would be in the midst of them,
so he was with them then.
We never find in all the history
of the early church and all that
is given in the Bible, one time
where the church as a church,
where Christians as Christians,
gathered together upon the sab-
bath.
That was done away, was gone.
(Col. 2:14-16). The law that had
enjoined it had been taken out
of the way and had been nailed
to the cross and never do we
find a meeting of Christians or of
disciples of the Lord, arranged
by them and conducted by them
for worship of God upon the.sab-
bath day.
You find Paul and some others
going into the Jewish Synagogue
on the Jewish sabbath for those
people did not think the law had
been done away or that Christ
was the Son of God.

particularly the high calibre of
intelligence and dedication being
employed by the Reds in all the
countries of the world, and our
continuing defeat. In an epilogue,
authors Lederer and Burdick
soberly state: “Without pitting
one Soviet soldier against one
American soldier, the Soviet has
won a staggering series of vic-
tories which have seemed com-
mitted to us there is a rising tide
of anti-Americanism . . . We have
been losing, not only in Asia, but
everywhere.”

It is such an important book
that, although it was written in
a kind of pulp fiction style, it
was chosen as a Book-of-the-
Month Club selection and is now
in its 16th printing. Some publi-
city on the book implied that it,
holds the American people up to!
scorn before the eyes of the world.
It doesn’t. It clearly pictures the
. American people, as a whole, in
’g&od character with high motives
and unselfish intentions toward
their neighbors throughout the
world.
However, the book does indict
Xhe American people for ignorance
"and apathy in the face of what
the authors consider to be dis-
astrous conditions in our world-
wide foreign service; and it warns
that these conditions may indi-
cate that the nation itself is
losing integrity and power “in
bits and fragments.”

Release of the veteran from
liability to the Government does
not affect VA’s guaranty of the
loan. As long as the guaranty is
outstanding, no restoration of GI i
loan rights can be extended to;
the veteran.
Even if the loan is aid in full,
thus relieving VA of liability to
the lender, a veteran’s entitlement j
to another GI loan may be re-
stored only when the property:
1. Was taken by a governmental
agency for public use. •
2. Was destroyed by natural
hazard; or
3. Was disposed of for compell-
ing reasons such as health, em-
ployment transfer, change to a
better job in another city, or other
reasons considered sufficient by
the VA.
In such cases, veterans should
apply to the nearest VA office for
restoration of entitlement.

The locale of the story is Sark-
han, a mythical country in south-
east Asia. In every activity of
foreign service in Sarkhan—and
the rest of southern Asia — the
Communists are shown to be out-
smarting the United States. The
U. S. foreign service characters,
with few exceptions, are depicted
as incompetent in just about
everything except playing host at
Embassy parties and hoisting
cocktails. These U. S. representa-
tives are shown to have an al-
most total lack of understanding
of the Sarkanese problems, the
nation’s people; and of the de-
dicated, cunning Communists. No
American official can understand
the native language or read the
local newspapers.
Communists have infiltrated the
American Embassy staff in Sark-
han. The exposure of two of the
Embassy’s most trusted servants
as Communist spies finally a-
wakens a new U. S. Ambassador
to the magnitude of the Com-
munist operation in Asia. He be-
comes a valuable foreign service
officer through great personal
sacrifice and effort — only to be
relieved of his post when he rec-
ommends to the U. S. State De-
partment some measures to cor-
rect the destructive mistakes and
cope with the highly effective
moves by the Communist foreign
service organization in Sarkhan.
The book ends with this final
failure—an ambassador who fin-
ally had begun to prepare himself
adequately to render effective
service to our nation being kicked
' out by the State Department and
T replaced by a party-throwing,
hard-drinking extrovert whose
every action shocked the sensi-
bilities of Asians and who hadn’t
a chance to halt the spread of
Communist prestige and power.
The Ugly American, in effect,
draws into telephoto focus the
dreadful menace of Communism,
Saturday, Nov. 6-7.
Harris is advisior to the State
Bar Committee on Legal Assis-
tance to the Armed Forces and
will report to the board on ac-
tivities of that group.
Board Chairman Homer
Dean, Jr. of Alice will preside
over the two-day meeting at Bar
headquarters. A 65-item agenda
will include progress reports on
all phases of the State Bar pro-
gram, including initial plans for
the 1960 observance of Law Day
U.S.A, and the biennial judicial
poll. The latter, if adopted, calls
for a March, 1960 poll of candi-
dates for appellate court posts.
The board also will ‘study pro-
posals to establish two new State
Bar sections. These are Criminal
Law and Procedure; and Patent,
Trademark and Copyright Law.
/ Xhe Ugly American is a book
that should be read by every
American. A more descriptive title
would have been “The Stupid
American.” The book has become
highly controversial. Some people
in our State Department do not
like it. Other exponents of the
striped-trousers, cocktail party
type of “diplomacy,” including a
few highly placed Senators, do
not like it. The book dramatizes
the fact that our foreign policy
practices in strategic parts of the
world are stupid — alienating
friends, wasting billions of tax
money, and contributing to the
continuing, bit-by-bit victories of
Communist all over the world.
The authors, William J. Lederer
and Eugene Burdick know what
they are-writing about. Both are
established American journalists.
Captain Lederer is a ranking Na-
val officer and an authority on
Southeast Asia, which is the set-
ting for the fictionalized story:
The Ugly American. Eugene Bur-
dick studied at first hand the
politics of the area and events
that later were to become a part
of the book. Both men developed
an overpowering impulsion to
warn the American people of the
nature of our disastrous defeats
in diplomacy and foreign policy.
So they wrote a fictional story
based on factual incidents and
circumstances.

The scriptures teach that the
first day of the week, commonly
called Sunday, is the Lord’s day
and should be observed by Chris-
tians of today.
Psalms 118:21-24 speaks of a
day which the Lord would make.
It was in prophecy then and this
day was to be made by certain
events; it was to be made by the
resurrection of Christ.
When the stone rejected of the
builders was made head of the
corner, this day was made. And
we know from Matthew 28:1 that
it wa^upon the first day of the
week that Christ came from the
tomb, therefore, declared to be
the Son of God with power, ac-
cording to the spirit of holiness
by the resurrection from the dead.
(Rom. 1:4).
Upon this day, the same day
he met with his disciples, some
of them did not know that he was
risen from the tomb. Some of
them were not convinced that
there had been a resurrection.
When he appeared they were
terrified but Jesus made it a point
to begin upon this day a meeting
with his disciples upon the first
day of the week.
From that day unto this he
has not ceased to meet with his
disciples upon the first day of the
week, for he has said, “Where two
or three are gathered together in
my name there am I in midst of
them. (Matt. 18:20).
He met with them upon that
first day, he met with them upon
the next first day of the week,
which was eight days from the
day of his resurrection. Thus He
gave an example of meeting with
his disciples upon that day.
We later find, after his ascens-
ion into heaven, that upon the
first day of the week which was
the day of Pentecost, Jesus met
with his disciples.
But some one says how do you
know that Pentecost was the first
day of the week. I am turning to
Leviticus, the 23rd Chapter, verses
15 and 16, “And ye shall count
unto you from the morrow after
the sabbath, from the day that day. Paula

Mr. and Mrs. Kim Macon visit-•
ed Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wooley Fri-
day afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Wooley visit-
ed friends and relatives at Knox
City and Rule Thursday and Fri-
day.
They continued to keep the sab-
bath, the seventh day sabbath
and Paul at times and other
preachers at times went into those
synagogues upon that day to
preach but these were Jewish
meetings.
You never find a meeting of
Christians as Christians meeting
to worship God upon the sabbath
day after the cross
never.
But you do find in the 20th
Chapter of Acts that upon the
first day of the week when the
disciples were gathered to break
bread, Paul preached unto them.
But until next week may the Lord
bless you is our praper.
