The United Slates and Great Britain have been ne- gotiating for the use of Ascension as -the lm-minus of a 5.000-mile guided missile tango starting at Florida. The British- lmnctl island lies less than eight degrees lwlmv the Equator, about midway between Brazil and Africa.

It may be true that, in general, winter jweather in this part of the world is not as tharsh as it used to be. Apparently, how- :ever. it is a purely regional matter.

Because most of the European-made automobiles seen on the streets and high- ways' are small in comparison with Amer- ican and Canadian standard models, the popular view is that European factories are incapable of turning out big and expensive ones.

The Flesh And The Spirit

"The flesh lusteth against the

SDll'll and the spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the other, so that ye can- not uo the things that ye would." Thus St. Paul describes that in- nor moral contradiction which is the common experience of man- kind. But the Apostle states the case in his own idiom, winch has often been fatally misunderstood. This is not the familiar distinction be- tween the material and the non- material. as though that were simply equated with the ethical distinction between good and evil. Christian thought. could never en- dtrse that. Christianity is not pure- ly spiritual: it II the religion of an incarnation and it cannot say that the physical is evil. Man him- self is not purely spiritual: he is a psycho-physical personality, always at once organic and spiritual-not physical when he eats his dinner and spiritual when he says his prayers, but always inescapably both.

Thus the flesh which opposes the spirit cannot here be equated with the body. That identification, which seeped in from Hellenistic and sub-Christian origins, lament- ably confused the whole issue and led to the obsession with sex which has haunted Christian thought since Augustine. Sin is not a biological atavism but as- sentially misdirection of mind and spirit; for what is spiritual, in the sense of non-material, need not be good. The seat of evil. according to Christian teach- ing, is not in the bodily instincts but in the will. What St. Paul means by the flesh is not the body but the "natural man." the unregenerate character-one might almost say the resistance of sin- ful men to the influence and the claims of the divine Spirit.-

But the spirit also "lusteth a- gainst the flesh"--ever pressing upon the hearts and minds of men and calling them to a super- natural life through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Men w o hear that call and accept that izrace are already "walking in the Slllfh-" 50 they are no long-

been translated into a new dun- eusion of creative spiritual loy- alty, no longer under the bond- age of moralism with its con- sequent inner discords and frustrations. but learning to love that which God cummands. The convert, passing from dark-

they are, they are still under the law; to cease growing is spirit- ual death. But a man dissatisfied with his present state. however disappointing hls.achlevement, is already in the way of salvation. The life-giving grace of God has touched him, and in h'un the spirit lusts against the flesh. He is on the road to sntritual free- dom. .

In this sense, the tension be- tween flesh and spirit is the pre- condition of all moral progress. in the individual and in society. It is this which keeps the channels of freedom open even in a total- itarian policy. Secular society moves more and more In the necessity. Christianity keeps alive in It a ferment which is always working towards liberty. As But- terfleld says. by its affirmation of the spiritual vocation of man it is ”guarding the very foun- tains . . . and keeping open the springs from which new things will still arise." Compared with this. he added, "It is unimport- ant lvhether (Christians! make mistaken judgments on mundane

er Winder the law." They have

Issues in history."

Germ-Free Animals

Probably one of the most com-

ia a atiy. I imlline moatlof you have bad one at some time or another.

Scientific " . we call this IYPO of infection a bordeolum. It 111' volvea one or more of the ltttte glands In the eyelid. Usually, it! due to infection with a staphylo- coccua germ.

It's important to recognize symptoms of a aty, because ,if you begin treatment early enough, you may be able to halt its develop- In

em.

First. you will notice that your eye will begin watering. It will feel as though something ll in your eye. The eye will probably also develop a condition we call pbotophobla, or fear of light.

The lid may be red and painful. and there will be a small, round swelling area on the margin of your lid.

In a few days. a little yellowish spot appears in the slain of this swollen area, -indicating that pus has formed. Often this tiny ab- scess will break open by tself. discharging the infected inn and relieving pain.

If you get after a aty early enough. cold compresses. placed on the eye for 10 to 15 minutes several times a day, might stop it right there. For your compresses. use a cloth soaked in ice-cold water and wrung dry.

Use llot Coinpreuea

In most cases. however. the aty is too well advanced by the time you notice It to forestall its de- velopment. Then your best bet is hot compresses. This will help bring the infection to a head. Use either plain hot water or a mixture of hot water and borlc acid. For the latter, dissolve five level teaspoonfula of borlc acid powder in one pint of hot water.

Your eyes are very sensitive to heat. so don't make the com- presses too hot. Apply them for a short period of time every two or three hours.

Sulfa Drun Help

Sometimes your doctor might recommend penicillin or one of the sulfa drugs to help clear up the infection.

if the infection doesn't open by itself. your physician can open it. Then he might recommend an an- tlblotic be put into your eye every day until the aty diaappjears com- pletely. This helps prevent the in- fection from spreading to other parts of your eye.
