Senate May Give
Japanese Treaty
Stormy Time
WASHINGTON, Apg. 25—1*1—'The
Japanese peace treaty to be signed
in San Francisco next month may
head into some new storms when
it comes before the Senate for rati
fication.
Senator Jenner, (R-Ind) told his
colleagues yesterday that the treaty
is "a fraud and a booby trap” which
recognizes Russian claims to the
Kurile Islands and theratens to
open the door of Soviet subversion
in Japan.
However, Senator Knowland (R
Calif) contended that prompt ratifi
cation of the documerA would bring
Japan "into the orbit of the free
world.”
Although Jenner contended that
Russia may seek to furnish troops
for the United Nations contingent
that would be stationed in Jkpan,
Knowland said it would be ‘‘un
sound" for the U. S. to keep its
troops there permanently.
Senator Watkins (R-Utah) said
he doesn’t like the treaty's tacit ap
proval of Russian retention of the
Kurile Islands. He said he may of
fer a reservation on that point.

Heaven^
You!
A good many people feel
that heaven is a far, faraway
place; only for a very few of
the saintly and the pious.
Have you ever felt that way ?
That somehow, it just isn’t
the place for you ?
Actually the absolute opposite
is true: heaven is a very real and
tangible place, and it is yours for
the asking! But this does not
in any way mitigate another im
portant truth: no matter how
“saintly” you apparently may be
come, you can never reach heaven
by your own goodness!
This is due to the simple fact
that there is a law which you
and everyone else in this world
have broken: the Ten Com
mandments. These Command
ments, given by Cod Himself
(Exodus 20:3-17) are His law
of conduct for this world. Any
thing we have done that is out
of harmony with this law of
God is sin and, obviously, no
“sinner” can ever enter God's
paradise.
“Sin,” the Bible says, “is the
transgression of the law.” I John
3:4. We are also told that “all
Warning
and
Promise!
have sinned. Ko
mans 3:23. So, since
the “wages of sin’’
is eternal death,the
situation doesn’t
look too good for
, any ot us, does it:
But in this very same statement
of warning we are given a thrill
ing promise: “The gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ
our Lord.” Romans 6:2.1.
This is exactly what the gospel
story is all about! 1. God has a
standard of conduct for us which
cannot be annulled. 2. The pen
alty of that law is eternal death.
3. We have all broken the law and
thus must pay the penalty or find
Someone who will save us from
it. Thus, 4, the gospel, the “good
news” of salvation, can be re
duced to one simple statement:
“Christ hath redeemed us from
the curse of the law”! Galatians
3:13.
How has He done this? By
abolishing the law? No, for
then there would be nothing to
transgress, and thus no sin from
which we need to be saved! llo
has redeemed us by taking the
“curse” of that law, death, upon
Himself. He gave His life for
ours, and thus we are saved, by;
His grace, from the penalty of
a broken law.
Some believe that because faith
in Christ saves us from the pen
alty of the law, faith also annuls
the law itself!
But saint and sinner are both
bound by the same law. The sinner
is a sinner because he breaks that
law. The grace of
Christ can com
pensatc for his .
transgression, but Is a
the law is still r. y
there. If he breaks JHlflCf.
it again, he is a
condemmed sinner again. We dc
not do away with the law of the
land because it requires the grace
of the governor himself to annul
the penalty.
The very fact that we need
the saving grace of Jesus proves
more than anything else that
there is a law against which we
have transgressed, and" which
cannot be done away. That is
why Paul said: “Do we then
make void the law through
faith? God forbid: yea, we es
tablish the law.” Romans 3:31.
These Commandments will be
cherished by those who, through
faith in Jesus, are counted
worthy to “enter in through the
gates” into eternity. Revelation
22:14.
Heaven is not illusory and un
attainable. It 13 the most real of
all realities ana may be won by
“whosoever will.” But it may
be well to study those Command
ments more frequently. Exodus
20:3-17. See also James 2:10-12.
