Certainly, they have no par allel in all of the recorded history of the world -The fate of civi’ization hangs in a delicate balance. , . We thoroughly desp se ah that Krushchev stands for, dictatorial oppression of free dom and ruthless disregard of human rights. But it is unthinkable that either dem ocracy or communism should attempt to settle those differ ences by a suicidal war. The New Approach The meeting in Washing ton this week and the one to f o'low next week are not an other' “Munich surrender” such as that which preceded World War II President Eis enhower wi 1 make cer ain that this fact is impressed upon Krushchev. He gave our allies in Eur ope that assurance, and re ceived their enthusiastic and unqualified support, during his visits to Bonn, London and Par s. The great recep tions he received from the people was an expression of We tern determination to re main free There is to be no “deal” made with the leader of the communists The President stressed that point in both h s private and public talks in Europe The meetings, ra ther, are an acid test of Kru shchev’s often expressed de sire for peace He must not put a price on peace Our freedom is price less and Khrushchev muse know that we would not hes itate to defend it with our lives He must understand, too, that we wi-1 contmue to oppose communist aggression in whatever form it takes Free World Solidarity The challenge to freedom, to the God-given privilege of a free people to live under governments of their own choosing, 's at least as great today as it was when power hung'-y Hitler ruthlessly in vaded Poland 20 years ago. There is this difference- The Free World lacked the unity, purpose and determin ation in 1939 that it has to day It lacked the inspired leadership that )t now has Mr Eisenhower is more firmly the leader of the Free World than at, any time since he led the Allied armies in the military campaign that crushed the Nazi and Fascist threats to democracy and fieedom The whole world fervent ly wants peace That is the desire of the people of both the communist and free na tions and it must be the will of their leaders May God give us the wisdom, the courage and the patience to seek and achieve it with d g mty and honor ges of plywood pole build ings is that specially skilled workmen aie not needed Aval able labor on the farm can be used to construct the buildmg Plans for the pole budd ing rr' 1 fiee for tne asking Write to Douglas Fir Ply wood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington Bible Material: Zechanah 7 —14 Devotional Kcadmg: Psalm 85 8-13, ftroanlss of Pease Lesson for September 30, 1059 J THINGS HAVE become badly confused when “peace" seems to be a bad word. Believe it oi not, there aie people in the United States who think that any one in teiested in peace is a communist That is not only bad logic, but it plays into the hands of the leal communists. Their constant bad word tor us is “war - mongers,” a people who w want war and V will do anything to start one This 'v' || is not tiue of us ||i as a nation, and /ffj yet people who Ml turn agamst the Mm notion of peace •*■*“ are certainly giv- ® r- Foreman ing ammunition to anybody who likes to call us a bloodthirsty na tion. “With a Whirlwftid” The great prophets of the Old Testament did not admire war. They looked on it as something brought on by sin. One passage from Zechanah is a sample (7: 8-12). God had an ideal for his people, a life of justice, kindness and mercy. But the Israelites would not hear, and so God “scat tered them with a whirlwind . . .” As we know from the Old Testa ment histones, this whirlwind, the Instrument of God’s wrath, his punishment fin a nation that would not obey—this was nothing other than the wards which ended the Hebrew kingdoms. And the He brews, as the stories show, had chiefly themselves to blame for getting into those wais. Most of the recorded history of the two kingdoms of Judah and Israel is a history of wars, long or short. Very few of them did the Hebrews any good, and in the end it ntas war which, like a tornado, left then homes in rums and blew them like straw across the face of the earth.
