In a recent communication of
President Eisenhower’s, he
brought to remembrance the sat
ellite launching of a year ago. . . .
Quote . . . “In December of last
year, I had the great joy of re
cording the Christmas message,
‘Peace on earth, good will to men,’
for transmittal from a tiny star re
volving in orbit around the world.
This tiny star has long since been
consumed in the atmosphere, but
the model for it, as described in
the pages of the Bible, can never
be consumed. The message of the
Scripture, the commandments and
promises of God, remain the
same from age to age. They are
a constant source of light and
strength.”
Yea, verily, how wonderful it
is that we do have a living Savior
who is the Light of the World. . . .
"God hath in these last days spok
en unto us by His Son, whom He
hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also He made the worlds.
They shall perish, but Thou re
mainest.” — Hebrews, 1:2, 11.

South Koreans Deny
Firing on Russian Vessel
SEOUL, Korea, 'J*1 — South
Korea today denied a Soviet
charge that a South Korean war
ship fired on an unarmed Soviet
survey ship off the North Korean
coast Monday.
The South Korean navy
termed the accusation “another
piece of the Communists’ usual
false propaganda.”
The navy issued an initial
statement saying that a North
Korean ship probably carried out
the attack by mistake and that
the Korean Reds were trying to
pin the blame on South Korea.
The navy said its ships do not
operate as far north as the point
of the alleged attack — 30 miles
off the North Korean coast and
36 miles north of the South
Korean boundary.
The spot is more than 100 miles
south of the course being used by
two unarmed Soviet transport
sjiips repatriating Koreans from
Japan to North Korea. South
Korea had threatened to use force
to prevent the migration, but so
far is not known to have inter
fered.
The Soviet charge said a South
Korean warship fired on the hy
drographic vessel Ongo, causing
heavy damage and a number of
casualties.
