FREEDOM TO WORSHIP
Freedom to Worship is the greatest of all our free
doms.
America came into being with those hardy pioneers,
the Pilgrims, who believed that “where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is Liberty.”
That is the precept on which our Pilgrim Fathers
fashioned our great Constitution, and under which
America has grown to be the greatest nation in the
world.
Our great General Omar Bradley has warned us that
“The greatest of threats from Communism is directed
at our spiritual freedom.” This is a proven fact in those
European countries which Russia seized. These coun
tries know what it is to lose their freedom of worship,
and could they speak would tell us so.
We are leading a busy complex life these days it is
true. Much more complex than the Pilgrims led, with
many recreational enjoyments which they did not know
about. However, our working hours are much shorter.
Let us all take time this Thanksgiving to give thanks
to our Creator in the Church of our choice! And beneath
the joy of this Thanksgiving let there swell a hymn of
gratitude and a prayer for peac&.
THE COURAGEOUS
“They on the heights are not the souls
Who never erred nor went astray
Who trod unswerving toward their goals
Along a smooth, rose-bordered way.
Nay—those who stand, where first comes dawn,
Are those who stumbled — but went on.”
Missionary Plane |
Disappears; 21
Feared Dead
MORAN, Wyo., (/P)—Four skil
led mountaineers started at day
break climbing cloud-shrouded
Mount Moran in search of a mis
sionary plane that disappeared
near the peak last night with 21
persons aboard.
Forest ranger Blake van de Wa
! ter and three ski-shod Alpinists
started trudging through snow
toward a spot where watchers
lust night saw a huge fire. Heavy
clouds cloaked the scene this
morning. Winds of 30 to 40 miles
an hour whipped the area but
there was no snow fall. The tem
perature is around freezing.
Only faint hope was held by
forest service officials that there
were any survivors if the ptane
crashed and burned on the moun
tain. The four mountaineers car
ried radio and light signaling
equipment but it was expected
to take them six to eight hours to*
reach the scene of last night’s fire.
A resort owner said he saw a
burning fuselage in the flames
j far above timberline on the pre
cipitous east face of the moun-;
j tain. When the fire subsided, he
could see nothing resembling a
campfire.
The missing plane was bound
from Chico, Calif., to Billings,
Mont. Owned by the New Tribes
Mission, a religious organization,
it was on the first leg of a flight
to South America.
Passengers included two young
mothers with their children, wi
dowed in the crash of another
mission-owned plane in Venezuela
last June which killed 15. Also
| aboard was Dr. Paul W. Flemings
I of Chico, mission director.
