Heathen religions are charao, terized by their many gods and goddesses, But the Bible, Old and New Testaments, assert; "The Lord our God is one Lord," Th9 first commandment follows logi- cally from this truth, "Thou shalt have no other gods• before me." A person can only have one God, To think of having two or more is to reduce the statue of God. There is no God if there are many. Only one Being can be supreme, almighty, There isn't room for more than one such Being. Only one can command the love of all our heart, soul, mind and strength, Any other who enters the life claiming such whole=hearted devotion, is an in- truder, an enemy of God, Arnold's Commentary, points out that Pittrim Sorokin In hie American Sex Revolution cites scientific data to support conclu- sions that those who deal loosely in matters of sexual behaviour, yielding themselves to many partners likewise hold a poly- theistic (many gods) view of divinity. The correlations in th4 study indicate that the two ir- regularities go hand in handl polygamy (more than one' spouse) and polytheism (more than one god') are found to be embraced by the same people.

A person, new to the Christian message, may ask, "What do you mean by the, Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost?" Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh. He de- clared, "I and my Father are one." "He that bath seen me hath seen the Father." On Christ's ascension He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in the hearts of believers. He convicts sinners. The blessings procured for us by the death and resurrection of Jesus are given to us through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The ladies would have to bring baked beans and ' ham and things. The pancakes would be for dessert, I think the teachers would bring jelly too." "We'd better have the lunch in the town hall," ,said Mamma, The village was a little dubi- ous about the plan at first. As Mamma had said, people were not at all sure Miss Ellen was going to fit into our little town. But. Miss Crabtree was highly respected, and her approval of the plan helped, Mamma talked about it at Ladies' Aid, and Papa talked about it in the store, writes Alta Halverson Seymour in the Christian Science Monitor.

"If she suc- ceeds in that she's going to win the respect of the town," Miss Ellen kept us busy. all right. She let us help decorate, and first we had to get the leaves, and there were many er- rands. We had a busy morning. "Did you bring jelly too, Miss Ellen?" I asked her, hoping she had. "Oh, yes, I did," she said. proudly. "Mrs, Malum, where I live, let me use her kitchen, and 1 brought a big jar." The pancakes were a great suc- cess and the jellies were handed around and high complimented. .1 was not the only 'one who look- ed on with interest When Miss Ellen's 4 tall jar was brought out.

Everybody wanted to try the syrup; everybody said how good it was, ' Instead of looking flushed and embarrassed, Miss Ellen began to beam, When the ladies polite- ly asked for her recipe, she made such a funny story of it that she had everyone laughing.

All the rest were "hired Europeans" - among them two Dutchmen (thirteen years apiece), one of whom confessed to spying on So- viet ports for the past five years. Only a few weeks ago, two other Germans, Peter Sonntag, 22, and 'Walter Naumann, '27, were sen- tenced to twelve years' impri- sonment after telling a Moscow court that. U.S. agents identified as "Mark" and "Olsen" had re- cruited them in the Red Ox tavern in. Heidelberg. The U.S. undoubtedly does 'employ Europeans in its intelli- gence service but this is by no means unique. Only last month, an East German named Guenter "' Mannell defected to the West 'a n d revealed, among other things, that the Communists had planted a German girl named Sybille Wambach in the home of an American major in Munich. Sybille had reported U.S. plans to send a landing force to Le- banon in 1958 long before it happened. A n o t 11 e r German, Horst Eitner, first worked for the British, joined the Russians because they paid $25, a month more than the British. The Soviet trials of U.S, agents, and the propaganda that went with them, 'were countered recently in Washington. The State Department's reaction was to put out a 21-page document • that had no title and cited no sources, but which said' no fewer .than 18,000 ,Red spies have been arrested in West Germany since 1952, and t h a t an estimated 16,000 Soviet agents still are ac- tive there.

A turnip is indeed a handy thing to have, about the place, in winter: it gives a savour to the ,family soup pot; the hens love to peek. away if 'one, when the snugness of their deep-litter house begins to pall and they are longing for a little diversion; and the sheep will gladly polish off ale,' still' left in the field, in the hungry gap of early spring. We managed to keep the gar- den fairly clear of marauders that summer, though every time I went up to get a lettuce or an apronful of peas, I dreaded what I might find in the way of da- mage done overnight. The black- faced sheep has all the instincts of a mountaineer and is quite able to scale, or barge 'through, an ordinary wire fence. Cows have elasticated necks, with an amazing reach, and a distinct fondness for flower-heads of all kinds. Anything growing on the other side of a fence has arl resistible attraction for them, I sometimes wonder what they se- cretly made of the taste of the luscious - looking nasturtium leaves they devoured. Then there were all the other garden ene- mies --- the goat, rabbits, and moles and hares. Even the chick- ens were most unhelpful; in the early part of the season, when they were on free range. they would fly over the fence and scratch up the new-sown seed in a kind of demented frenzy. One morning, I found Charlie, the horse, standing with a rather shame-faced, bewildered look in his eyes, in the midst of the trampled cabbages. It transpired that the children had left the gate open the evening before, Charlie had wandered in, the gate had blown to and he couldn't get out again. It was surprising, really, the small amount of damage he had actu- ally done. I think. he'd had a conscience about it! It was a minor miracle that even one carrot should survive in the face of all the hazards.

"Miss Ellen's got an idea," I ventured. "She thinks it would be nice if everybody got together and painted the schoolhouse." There was a moment's almost stunned silence. Papa, who was on the schoolboard, didn't seem at all pleased. 'The schoolhouse doesn't look so bad," he said. "Had it painted just-" "It was over five years ago," Mamma said. "It does look pretty shabby, but it hardly seems a new teacher's place to mention it. Did Miss Ellen say that right • out in class?" "Oh, rio," I said quickly. really liked Miss Ellen, and it seemed I had said the wrong thing, as I realized I often did. "I heard her talking to Miss Crabtree, She said the place her sister taught, the whole village got . together and painted the schoolhouse, and made a kind of picnic of it." "And What did Miss Crabtree think of it?" Papa asked, Miss Crabtree was our principal, for whom he had great respect. "She said that was quite an idea and maybe it would, make the big boys take more interest in the school, as if it kind of belonged to them, and Miss Ellen said yes, it did, and did Miss Crabtree think maybe we could do it here? Our building could use a coat of paint and it might be fun for a fall get-together. But Miss Crabtree said no, she was afraid not," "I wonder why not," said Papa. "Well, she said paint and things were expensive, and the board had spent a lot of money 'on new desks for the upstairs room last year, and anyway they might not like to have the teachers act- big as if they weren't satisfied and-" "Mm-hmm," said Papa thought- fully, "Well, maybe I'll drop over and talk to Miss Crabtree." I went flying back to school that noon, eager to report 'to Miss Ellen. But to my surprise she looked alarmed instead of pleas- ed. "Oh, Alta!"; she,. exclaimed., "You didn't go home and tell your papa I thought the school- house needed a coat of paint, did you? And how did you know about ite,ine-evaY-?"
