"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2:1 and Acts 4:25
"The secret things belong unto the Lord our God. But these which are revealed belong unto us and our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this Law." Deut. 29:29 The object of these articles is to bring you face to the question whether or not you are seeking to live in the light of revealed truth and "do all the words of this Law."
Are you obeying God's Ten Commandments, or striving to with the help of God? Have you the purpose or desire to do so? Have you the faith to realize unless you repent of rebellion against God's Law and accept Jesus Christ as your substitute for obeying God? Is God's God not your Saviour but your enemy! In the Old Covenant God's Law was written on two tables of stone, and delivered to man by Moses. In the New Covenant God's Law is written on the fleshy tables of the heart by the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ is the source of our salvation. Do we trust "and obey" to seek to honor and please God.
It is the testimony of this column and writer that there be many who call themselves Christian, claiming great spiritual experiences and that they have been "born again," yet don't hesitate to run rough shod over some of
the Ten Commandments — which reveal the very character of the Almighty — make the Law void, and then “pass the buck” to the Lord Jesus Christ, saying He made them free with the liberty to do as they please! My answer to folks with such a faith can best be made by quoting a few verses from the 1919 Psalm: $3.70 and 115; “Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the grease of my heart,” but I delight in Thy Law. Depart from me, ye evidences; for I will keep the commandments of my God.” God grant that my heart in its attitude toward God’s Ten Commandment be the same as mine in the 176 verses of the 1919 Psalm. Near the very close of the Bible we read: “BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS: THAT HE RIGHT TO ENTER IN THE CENTER IN OTHROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY” — Revelation 22:14.
We quote from a letter just received: "Why do the God of our nation rage?" attempt to answer that question. I request to get you and all men "To fear God, and keep His Commandments, and give back what is your right." God fail on you, your family, the nation and the world.

Professor pushes grain cartel
Caretel is a dirty word in American capitalist economics. It conjures images of groups conspiring to jack up prices for their own benefit, abandoning the concept of a market economy.
By MARK PITTMAN
ROY LAIRD, a KU professor of political science, proposes that the United States enter into a grain cartel to "fight fire with fire" against OPEC.
Staff Reporter
"I am a profound belief in the free market system," said Laird last week. "But we're talking about two commodities that are interrelated here—oil and food. The OPEC countries are not playing the game fairly."
Laird said that the United States, Canada and Australia should organize a grain cartel to dictate the prices they want from these countries. Laird said that the three countries make up 74 percent of that export market and have the necessary economic leverage to force the rest of the world to accept whatever prices they desire.
But one KU professor says the scheme is simply unworkable.
"It's true that it might work and then it's also true that if frogs had wings, they wouldn't fall on their ass every time." (I am an associate professor of economics, who
Frevert said that if cartels were achieved and kept together there would be benefits for the members. The DeBeers diamond syndicate still controls diamond prices; United Fruit used to dictate foreign, fresh prince sugar and the sugar emperor in now keeping the price of sugar and coffee high, he said.
CANADA, Australia and the United States "love to cheat each other," according to Frevert, and a cartel between them could never be organized. If it were, it would soon split up because of policy differences.
"A monopoly arrangement is great if you are a member." Frevert said. "I, for one, would love to see a grain cartel. My salary in a lot of ways is tied to the price of a bushel of wheat, but I don't think it will happen."
teaches a course on international finance.
"Cartels are famous for breaking up," said Frevert. "They are tough to get together and even harder to keep together."
BUT LARID* said OPEC-fueled inflation and resulting balance-of-payments problems would inexorably inerate them together to act in their own benefit.
He said in an editorial he wrote for the Christian Science Monitor that, "If the prices that foreign nations pay for United States grain had kept pace with

Laird said Western Europe, Japan and the Soviet Union were the three biggest customers for export grain and the ones most able to navi for it.
"The price of gas in most of Europe is more than $3 a gallon," Laird said, "and there is still no speed limit on the roads in Germany. Germany had an inflation rate of 5 percent last year. Shouldn't they pay a fair price for U.S. grain?"
