In life's garden it is as important to plant the right things as it is in a vegetable garden. What we plant and how diligently we care for what we plant determines the harvest.
In this garden of life, here is a sample of what to plant.
Start with four rows of peas:
One row of pleasantness,
Another row of perseverance,
One of preparedness,
The fourth of permanence.
Next plant five rows of lettuce:
Let us obey,
Let us be true,
Let us be faithful,
Let us be unselfish,
Let us love one another.
Three rows of turnips:
Turn up at meetings,
Turn up with a smile,
Turn up with determination.
Also there must be three rows of squash:
Squash gossip,
Squash indifference,
Squash criticism.
IT SEEMS from here, that we are going to face the facts that anyone in politics who stands firm for constitutional government is going to be bombarded with ridicule of the worst sort and have to face character assassination too.
For many years we have been heading deeper and faster into mob rule, government by whim and fancy and special interest legislation, plus circumventing the constitution, until it has caught fire and anyone who wants something done for them follow the pattern of former successes in the field.
People are less and less concerned about what has made and kept our nation strong (Meaning the constitution) and are more inclined to go for the quick and easy answers.
However, I don't believe the real problem is the people themselves. I believe that we have to face a far more sinister enemy than that. There seems to a well organized underground press that grinds out the poisonous venem against those who stand for constitutional government.
Who is this enemy? I believe it is none other than communism. Communism knows that the only way it can 'bury' us is to destroy our constitution; and by grinding out the "smear" against anybody who stands strong for it they can find plenty of fellow travelers and political opponents who are looking for ammunition to aim at their opposition. It therefore becomes popular to follow the crowd and the press has been plenty gullible at times following the trend.
This underground press is so potent that few politicians want to be the target. An example could be the wheat deal to Russia. There has never been any attempt to explain why the administration was so anxious to guarantee payments to Russia on the wheat. For lack of an explanation from the proponents we can only venture a guess of our own. Could it be because they were so anxious to avoid conflict with this press that the President risked his foreign aid bill in order to get the wheat legislation passed?
