One of the plainclothesmen whispered thing, and went out, leaving the door ajar. Martin moved to a point where he could see into the living room, just as the hotel that morning. “Where is she?” he asked Cloud. Instead of replying, Cloud led the way to the kitchen. The way led it the bedroom door, and as xter approached Martin stepped out to meet him. “Marty,” Dexter said, his eyes lighting. “Thank God you're here.

Byroade noted that the movement toward self-determination among colonial peo- ples is “one of the most powerful forces in Twentieth cen- tury affairs.” The Assistant Secretary said the upsurge for national self-determination comes at a time when the leading na-| tions of the world are finding that there is no such thing as self-sufficiency.

The United States, in supporting colonial peoples’ de- sire fer independence, must be sure that it supports a con- structive program which sometimes will mean a gradual transfer of authority from the mother nation to a colony. This transfer should not be extended over any lengthy Period, but should be accomplished as quickly as is prac- tical. At the same time, Byroade points out that a sudden end of the authority of the colonial powers can sometimes produce more difficulties than dividends in the world-wide fight against Communism. This is something the alter- liberals must keep in mind. The great Americans all through history have been church-goers, The latest Russian note to the U.S. Government leaves little room for optimism about future relations with the USSR. The pressure group, and the highly organized mi- nority, often exert more influence than the unorganized majority. Despite the expected slow-up in some business fields, you can be certain there will be many demands for in- creased pay in 1954. One of the best arguments we know of, in the cold war with Russia, is bigger and better air bases, nearer and nearer to Russian borders. It is refreshing to find a person with an open mind, willing to learn. Among adults, this species is extremely valuable, due to its scarcity. Anyone who closely followed the disclosures of the Harry Dexter White case cannot score the Truman ad- ministration too highly on its security consciousness, Crossword Puzzle SICIEINIETS) AIL ILIEIGIE| PIE IAI AIRIAIO}S!

Mistake Isaiah was one of the most res- pected prophets-and he has been quoted repeatedly in the New’ Testament. He had an uncanny in- sight into the future. God had en- dowed him with talent which en- abled him to fortell the coming of. a Messiah. He furnished a splen-' did background for the Christmas story. About 740 B. C, Isaiah began to prophecy and for forty years warn- ed the chosen people of an epochal event. Apparently this prophet was of high birth, of great influence at court, perhaps of royal birth, and the most Messianic of all the pro- phets. This prophet loved and ins- jpired the common man and gave} the nation the hope that some day the Messiah would come: Jesus ful- filled this prophecy.

Luke tells of the angels appearing to the startled shepherds and one can hear the’ heavenly music as they announce ithe birth of one destined to bring peace and good will to this evil world. It is good news and like the shepherds millions of people will hear once more this Christmas time the story of the Christ child. A preacher was once preaching on the text, “They shail beat their swords into plowshares” (Isa. 2:4) when a youngster asked following the sermon, “you don’t honestly believe that do you?” Isaiah be- jlieved it with all his soul. He jmay have been a dreamer and « jmystic, but he believed it sincere- ly — that God would send a De- liverer who would bring peace and good will to earth. It was more than a dream, it was a conviction. It was so real to him that he was, willing to court tRe ill-will of those in highest authority about him and like all messengers of the truth, was maligned and persecuted as) he proclaimed the inevitable end/ of transgressors. i While Isaiah prophecied peace ati coming of the Messiah, this gen-| eration should not be misled.
