“AS THE TWIG IS BENT”
A little girl with shining eyes—
Her little face aglow.
Said: “Daddy, it is almost time
For Sunday School. Let’s go.
They teach us there of Jesus’ love
Of how He died for all,
Upon the cruel cross to save
Those who on Him will call.”
“Oh, No!” said Daddv, “Not todav.
I’ve worked hard all week,
And I must have one dav of rest,
I’m going to the creek,
For there I can relax and rest,
And fishing’s fine, they say.
So run along; don't bother me.
We’ll go to church some day.”
Months and years have passed away
But Daddy hears that plea no more;
“Let’s go to Sunday School,”
Those childish days are o'er.
And, now that Daddy’s growing old.
When life is almost through
He finds time to go to church,
But what does daughter do?
She says: “Oh Daddy, not today—
I stayed up almost all night
And I’ve just got to get some sleep,
Besides I look a fright.”
Then Daddy lifts his trembling hand
To brush away the tears,
As again he hears the pleading voice
Distinctly through the years.
He sees a small girl’s shining face !
Upturned, with eyes aglow,
As she says, “It’s time for Sunday School
Please, Daddy, won’t you go?”

Sunday, June 19, is Father’s Day. It would be a good,
time for fathers to surprise their family by taking them
to church. It would also be a good time for the families
to surprise father, by insisting he go to church with
them. Nome visitors will find the schedule of church
services in Nome, printed on this page for their con
venience. You will be welcomed to any of the services.
HUMAN NATURE DOES CHANGE
(New World News Service)
In Paris last week the Big Three Foreign Ministers
shadow-boxed with Vishinsky while the shadow of the,
Hammer and Sickle slowly fell like a shroud over the
Orient. One Foreign Minister said, “We have come to
Paris to plan for peace.” How to get it has always been
the catch.
At the same time high above Lake Geneva in Switzer
land’s most scenic setting another conference got under
way. Describing it in an editorial the Los Angeles “Her
ald-Express” said, “Hundreds of clear-thinking dele
gates from all parts of the world are gathered together
for a World Assembly for Moral Re-Armament. This
is the eleventh anniversary of the founding of this force
which has as its objective a world-wide spiritual renais
sance. It is a movement which is gathering momentum
in the highest government circles.”
This evaluation was further evidenced by a resolu
tion passed unanimously by the U. S. House of Repre
sentatives. It called for a bi-partisan Congressional del
egation to fly to Caux and make an official report to the
LONGSHOREMAN’S NIGHTMARE

House. This action has special significance because it is
the nation’s first official recognition that democracy
needs an ideology to supplement the initiative America
has taken in supplying our economic, political and mili
tary aid.
Foreign Minister Chuman of France said, “In the eco
nomic field we have the Marshall Plan. In the political
and military fields we have the Atlantic Pact. Now we
need to give ideological content to the lives of the mil
lions of Europe. We must reach the people so that the
pact will be sustained by a deep change in the way of
life of the Western World.”
Ten years ago Frank Buchman, initiator of MRA,’
said, “Peace is not an idea; it is people becoming dif
ferent.”
Two weeks ago he said in a world-broadcast, “People
say that human nature cannot change. But human nature
does change, and the nature of nations can change, too.”
High in those Swiss mountains at Caux scores of
statesmen have and are finding through a basic change
in their own human nature the healing of deep hatreds.
There is peace for those who have mended their own
fences first.
“If we in Europe wish the Marshall Plan to be effec
tive in years ahead we must forget grievances of the
past,” said Georges Villiers, President of the National
Employers Association of France, speaking before po
litical and industrial leaders of Western Germany who
were among the thousand delegates from 32 nations at
the Assembly.
Referring to the encounter at Caux with a national
German Trade Union leader, Villiers said, “I had, three
reasons for hating this man. Firstly, he was a German.
Secondly, lie was a union leader. Thirdly, I was con
demned to death by his countrymen, and as a political
internee I saw most of my friends die at their hands.
Yet thanks the Moral Re-Armament I have lost my
hatred and simply desire to become friends with the
Germans.”
“Thanks to what we've found here,” continued Vil
liers, “I believe we shall be able to establish new eco
nomic cooperation between our countries when we
French employers meet German employers in Germany
at the beginning of July.”
In response to Mr. Villiers, Mr. Otto Springorum, gen
eral manager of Gelsenkirchen Coal Mining company,
which produces one-fifth of the Ruhr’s coal, said that in
Germany there was “strong readiness in wide circles of
the population to accept the outstretched hand of
France.”
Clean-up Week is almost over. Have you, and you,
and you cleaned out the rubbish from your home, and
cleaned up the accumulated debris of a long winter
from your yard and placed the rubbish and discarded
articles in containers at your curb so that the city can
haul it away for you as soon as possible? If not, then
| you had better get busy and clean up, so as to make this
fine little town a better little town in which to live.

ON HONKS
KANSAS CITY, f/P»—The Kan
sas City police department is is
suing notes of congratulations to
altar-bound couples. But there’s a
catch. After reading the felicita
tions. the couples note that the
police department does not feel
that a procession of honking auto
mobiles is a legitimate part of the
wedding ceremony. The note
warns that continual honking is a
violation of the city’s anti-noise
ordinances.
