We thoroughly desp se ah
that Krushchev stands for,
dictatorial oppression of free

of human rights. But it is
unthinkable that either dem

attempt to settle those differ

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.
