elections This fact is borne .out
by campaign finance figures polit-
ical groups recently reported to
congress. According to Congres-
sional Quarterly tabulation $23
million was spent in efforts to
swing last year's house, senate and
Presidential elections.

Washington believes was designed
to clarify a number of conflicting
statements by administration offi-
cials concerning Russian atomic-
bomb and hvdrogen-bomb develop-
ments. President Eisenhower suc-
ceeded in throwing a good scare In
much of the nation.
"The Soviets now have the capa-
bility of atomic attack on us and
such capability will increase with
the passage ol time," he stated
flatly
He said he had ordered all gov-

1779. A rich dr.'s widow in my old
home town in Ohio has a $35 bill
printed that year with his name
signed to it. On the back is the

An illustration of the contrast in
the soul of- Jeremiah tel; him as
a sensitive lover of nature and
beautiful things, yet he was given
the terrifying assignment to de-
nounce his people for falling away
from the true religion of their fa-
thers.
The almond tree and the boiling
pot symbolize the constancy of the
faith of Jeremiah from the begin-
ning of his ministry in his home
town, to the very end of it in
exile. Jeremiah's call was a certain
trumpet in a troubled land. When
he had finished preaching the
priests declared that he deserved
to be put to death, that his utter
ances were insulting to them. Jere-
miah replied that he had been in-
spired by God to preach in this
manner. In spite of the indignation
of the people, he was sentenced to
death.
In fact, with the help of a friend
he escaped (Jeremiah 26:24>. There-
after, however, he was a marked
man. having gained the bitter
hatred of the king. Then in con-
clusion discussed the destruction
of Judah during the reign of the
Kings.
