RALPH R. JOHNSON First Methodist Church, Elwood today. They immediately joined forces to crush opposi tion by the secret army or ganization (OAS) trying to keep Algeria French. The OAS struck the first blow with a massive general strike that wrapped the major cities of Algeria in tomblike silence. It was like the calm before the storm.

French officials and Al- eerian nationalists alike foresaw a bloody struggle still ahead be fore real peace could be achieved in the big North African land President Charles de Gaulle met with his cabinet at 3 p.m. (9 a.m EST) to give formal approval to the settlement reached at Evian. A cease fire was signed Sunday between French officials and Al gerian rebels to go into effect at noon today (6 a.m. EST). It meant the formal end of fighting between the French army and Moslem guerrillas which has bled France of more than bil lion and cost the lives of 17,250 French soldiers, 141,000 Algerian rebels and 200,000 civilians.

Moslems Will Rule It meant that before the year is out Algerians wiu nave a chance to establish an independent nation ruled by Moslems. French newspapers cheered it. French government official and Aleerian rebel leders expressed satisfaction. But the leadership of the European extremists in Algeria vowed to fight on to destroy the pact and try to keep Algeria French. The OAS pulled a general pro test strike that paralyzed tne main cities of Algeria today.

Both Moslem and European workers stayed home either out of support or fear for the OAS. The Soviet Union quickly sought advantage from the cease-fire pact and announced immediate recognition, of the provisional government which will rule Algeria until an independence referendum. A real peace for Algeria seemed to be a thing well into the future, The OAS formed a new "resistance "council" headed by former Gen. Raoul Salan to continue the fight against an independent, Moslem-ruled Algeria. This estab lished the new battle lines.

Have Common Foe In effect, the cease-fire procla mation transformed the French army and Algerian Moslem rebels from enemies to allies and gave them the OAS as the common foe. An extraordinary session of the national assembly will be held Tuesday to hear a message from De Gaulle and a statement by tne government. The statement wiu be followed by a debate but no vote. De Gaulle made it clear in a broadcast to the nation Sunday night that he will seek approval of the pact directly in a nation wide referendum. This is expected to be held April 8 or soon after that.

The cease-fire settlement was signed Sunday at Evian, a French resort community on the shores of Lake Geneva, at 5: JO p.m. (12:30 p.m. EST).

Psalm 119:71 A young and successful insurance broker in an Indiana city was stricken ill quite suddenly.

After having been confined to his bed for many weeks, one day he confided to his pastor: "You know preacher, some of the things I used to do as business practice I am now beginning to wonder about. You know I've had a lot of time to think lately. In my work I felt justified in misrepresenting the facts if it made a sale. In my own thinking I justified my actions by telling myself that I was selling this man something that he really needed for the protection of his family. The end justified the means.

But I see it differently now." It is unfortunate indeed that some must come under great affliction to learn the lessons of God. Many have been humbled under affliction, and taught to know themselves and humble themselves before God, that probably without this would never redeemed.
