APPLIED RELIGION MAY WIN WORLD
The Western world has the power to withstand the
challenges of Communism, declares Prof. Arnold J.
Toynbee, famous British historian, who says that we
must rise above nationalism and become “religious
minded as we have not been in the last two hundred and
fifty years.”
The historian thinks Communism serves as a religion
to millions of people, involving the worship of “collec
tive mankind,” and that Christianity must demonstrate
the inferiority of this thinking to the Western belief in
the value of the individual.
This is another way of saying that the contest be
tween Communism and Capitalism is to be decided on
the basis of which economic system will do the most
for the average man and woman of the world.
Not only must there be an economic sharing of the
benefits of capitalism, but there must likewise be a gen
eral realization that the right of the individual to de
velop is not worth anything unless men and women, in
actual life, accord to other the rights they demand for
themselves. j
For these reasons, we agree with Prof. Toynbee that
there must be a return to religion but, as we see it, the
religious mind must be manifested in a material world.
Men and women, who profess religion, must express it
in their contacts with other men and women. This is
the type of action that will meet Communism anywhere
in the world and beat it. Nothing else will do the job
as well or as quickly.
RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL
Louis Zamberini, former track star at the University
of Southern California and an American soldier who
was mistreated by the Japanese who held him as a
prisoner-of-war, is back in Tokyo for missionary work.
The athlete is anxious to find some scores of Japan
ese who were his former captors for the purpose of car
rying Christianity to them. Press dispatches say that he
is not bitter toward the Japanese, despite the mistreat
ment that he took from them during his captivity.
Many individuals will form different opinions of the
effort of this soldier to convert his former foes. Never
theless, his action in seeking to return good for evil ex
emplifies one of the finest teachings of the Christian re
ligion and, to a degree, illustrates the tendency of the
white race to accept a mission to assist other races.
* FRENCH NEED HELP IN INDI-CHINA
The French are taking quite a beating along the bor
ders of Indo China where the Communists are threaten
ing a major drive, following signal successes upon
French outposts.
The American people are hardly aware of the tre
mendous struggle that France has waged in that area
since the conclusion of World War II. The contest has
strained the weakened combat ability of the French
government. Disasters have occurred before and tehre
has been some scandal connected with events in the Far
East.
Now comes the information from Washington that
American assistance, in the form of arms and munitions,
we suppose will be forthcoming for the French. We can
not pass judgment upon the occupation of the French
in French Indo-China, but we recognize the necessity,
as in Korea, to teach the salutary lesson that aggression
does not pay. '
Now that election is over everybody will have to get
behind Santa Claus. . . . After a man stay in public of
behind Santa Claus. . . . After a man stays in public of
long to him. . . . Oscar Wilde once said that anything
that could be taught was not worth learning.
