EDITORIAL (cont. from page 9) ing most earnestly with them to stop their race riots “ until after the elec tions” for fear of the “white back lash.” These haters o f America and everything that is American are being respectfully requested to de sist from their destructive program, at least temporarily. But those who would dare to oppose the present governmental trends are being in timidated and threatened with the loss of one of our most valued Amer ican liberties — the freedom of speech. Our beloved country is, today, one of the last few remaining citadels of religious liberty to be found any where in the world. It would appear from many, many indications that this freedom is about to be snatched away from us. The trends are nu merous, obvious and frightening in deed. And if our children and chil dren’s children are forced to live in a land where liberty and religious freedom as we have known it have ceased to exist, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. They will have every reason to hold us in con tempt for our complacency and in difference toward the glorious heri tage which our forbearers handed down to us and which we so shame fully betrayed by failing to preserve and to pass on to them.
LEADING BOOK EXPERTS SAY:
C H A P T E R T IT L E S
H. A. IR O N SID E : “ . . one _of the most interesting, refreshing, and conclusive works on Prayer we have ever consulted.” R. G. LEE: “ I have read many books on prayer, and Dr. Rice’s book on prayer is among the best. Abundant with Bible quotations and references, it lays warm and sympathetic hands on practical life. . . . For me there is not a dull line in the book. Not once does he strike any jarring notes. Not once does he sound a trumpet of uncertain tone . . . a book I hope will find a place in every church library, every home library, every preach er’s library, and among every teacher’s stock of books.” DR. W. A. C R ISW E L L : “It is a tremendously interesting book. No Bible-believing, God-fearing, Christ-honoring, soul-loving Christian could read it without great profit and encouragement. . . . I do say that it is a Spirit-breathed volume . . . ” K IN G 'S BU SIN E SS: “ . . . a great work . . . a very exhaustive study, each one of the 21 chapters giving evidence of much prayer and re search, and then the conclusions are clinched by real-life stories.” KB M A IL COUPON TODA Y !
