Near our -Iummer home one day ye wuggd past. a -splendid pine. it first gance it's majesty c-usht me.sJm..m.t1on; then we noticed

passer-b had struck his itxtintn the trurylk of the tree. It was a cruel gash, and the tree was .oncentrating its energies on heal- fng the wound. The tree was pour- gng its healing balsams into the cut to fill it up and cover it over that its growth might continue as if the wound had never been made. which fact is a parable bearing on the truths phasized during the last few weeks. Behind all our Easter celebrations is the truth that God is love. This means that ,5 at the heart of all that is and the' fount of all that is to be I3 lmnieasurnble goodwill immeasur- ly active. This aim of love in everything God creates is its de- velopment to the height of it. capacity; it it has been marred or broken the creative energy of lame concentrates on its restoration as

the tree did in healing the wound

in its side. God is love and love

must build up and restore.

This truth that love is the law of live is not merely ii. nice senti- ment about which we sing. nor merely a truth at the foundation of our theology? it is a world is- sue and a policy for the nations. over against one another in sharp antagonism stand those who aim at world conquest by violence and those who aim at world conquest by love. The one group aims at sovereignty by crushing men into submission: the other by cultivat- ing in men the spirit that will not oppress nor endure oppression and ihat aims to govern only by con- sent of the governed.

Violence triumphant suppresses Jersonality and subordinates the interests of the many to the aims )I the few; love triumphant builds is throne on the greatness of the many and on their free choice or ;oodness and grace.

When we acknowledge Jesus Jhrist as Lord we choose sympa- .iiy instead of cruelty, healing in- itead of hurting. the upbulldlng II church and nation by the trans- formation of men into the likeness of Christ and uniting them in Him or the service of all who need. He calls forth among men goodwill and mutual confidence instead of hatred. suspicion and fear, and in- spires them from within to the re- ilizatlon in experiences and action )f the best they know.

This is not wishful thinIclng- it s a clear-cut contrast In actual lie.

A few years ago Miss Elda Dan- IEIS of Korea drew the contrast between in young Korean Com- iiunist who tried to advance his tause by shooting two Christian iuds who were spiritual leaders in their school. and the -father of the boys whom he had murdered, nnd who pied for the young murdererk life when he was brought to lus- tice. Four hundred Christian pas- tors disappeared when the Com- munists invaded South Korea. no one -knows to what fate; the young fanatic and the leaders of their armies act on the same principle- destroy those whom they cannot .. win over to their cause.

, The issue today is between men of this type and the Christian church whose single aim is the conversion of men to the life of love. Our armies can stop the aggressor and we thank God for their success, but their victories have only negative effects: forces can never build up the Kingdom

. of love. When they remove the obstacles, the real work of re- tauildlng a nation is still to be

Jone.

Lord of history. the Christ who shall triumph in history, before whom every knee shall bow...and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."

As we glory in the Resurrection we must not overlook the Cruci- fixion that preceded it: As we have noticed before, the sin of man came to a head in what men did to the son of God whose only offense was His unbounded love. and it was the spirit in which Jesus met the hatred of His enemies and endured their cruelty that is the real victory over sin. He died to reconcile men to God. and this surely involves the reconciliation oi man with man. Our first answer to the Cross must be our accept- ance of the forgiveness which He secured for all: its effectiveness in each particular case depends on personal trust in and commitment to the Great Rcconciler. Tli's means that we forgive as we have been forgiven. It has been said that Easter is the time and its services the occasion for the for- giveness of personal wrongs and the reconciliation of personal au- imosities. How can a believer cherish resentment against a bra- ther for whom Christ died?

But this is not enough; the fol- lowers of Christ must be reconcil- ers on a far wider field. It is so easy to provoke bitterness between classes and races and creediyeven in our own favored land. Legisla- tion has just been found necessary to prevent unfair discrimination against people because of race. creed or sex. It is a stern obliga- tion of everyone who accepts the reconciliation which Christ made and who bows to Him as Lord to become a promoter of peace be. tween men, and of Justice which is the only ground of peace,

THE HELL BOMB by William L. Laurence; Mcclelland and Stewart; SL25. The text on the cover states: "What every Am- erican should know about the pro- ducticn and military use of the Hydrogen Bcmb. All the facts that can be told, in language everyone can understand." The author has twice won the Pulitzer Prize and is science-news reporter for the New York Times. lie was the only newspaperman permitted to visit secret war plants and write a series of reports for release following the use of the atomic bomb against Japan in 1945. and he was the only civilian in go along on the mission to bomb Nagasaki

His book contains the first non- technical ,.. entatlon of all the facts concerning the hydrogen bomb that can be told. These facts have hitherto been available to only a few scientists. It is told as an antidote against, fear and hy- steria, which may prove more dangerous than the H. bomb itself. The reader is told what a hydrogen bomb is. whether or not it can be made as commoni rumor says, how much it will.coet when perfected, whether or not Russia can make It. and. most important of all. will its use lead to the extinction of all life on earth. This information is eagerly sought and Mr. Laurence has worked hard to give the an- swers to the queries the man on the street is asking today. He gives his opinion about its moral Justifi- cation and the chance of the bomb being internationally controlled. l-ie tells what he thinks about its value in military strategy. It is a timely book and should be made available to every library. It is the unianown that frightens people, and the more we know the better our morale.

"Primer of Atomic Energy" and it will be highly appreciated by the layman who has not read any- thing about atomic energy and who may not understand it. The reader ,will sigh when he puts this book down and begin to realize Just how far we have come along a frightening path during the past decade. If ever the "little man" should begin to take notice of what a. handful of people are doing to make life hell. the time is now.

I Thinkers Ileedotl

B7 F. H. MacArthur

What this generation needs most is more thinkers. If we had more thinkers we would not have so many individuals eating the crumbs that fall from the other fellow's table and chasing about after bubbles that burst before they can be caught. Calvin rose and thought. What a multitude fol- lowed him. Churchill and Roose- velt rose and thought. and lo! the whole world listened. Most of us swallow the wheat and chaff, the bone and meat, the nut and shell. In other words, we do not masti. czite our mental food. We do not examine the data which glib ton- gues pour out.

1 People who do not think for themselves are always harnessed tn the plough by sharp ones. To perceive accurately and think clearly ought to be the aim of every citizen of this wcrld. Just so far as we fail to do our own thinking. we pave the way for spurious religious. crooked poli- tics and swindlers of many kinds. By casting away our natural ar- the designing

mour of defense,

cold by the crafty and trcdden un- ier foot by the strong.

In this age of hustle and bustle we are inclined to let some other fellows do the thinking for us so that, in time, we are unable to distinguish truth from error. Be- tween progress and backsllding, we are totally blind. And when the other fellow says, "See, I hold a spade in my hand." we answer. "Yes." not knowing that the card he holds is a heart.

All mental superiority criginates in the habit of thinlcing. One may. like a machine. be made to per- form certain tasks by external means: but it is only when we be- gin to think that we rise to the dignity of human beings. when thought is gone, what remains. We

see all about us the comforts and nvenlences of modern civiliza- ticn. How often do we ask our- selves. "By whom were these things invented?" Certainly not by those that say, "I shall be dead in a little while so why worry or think about new things." Now if every person held a similar idea the wheels of progrem would soon cease to turn and we should find ourselves in a rut.

Some persons will tell you that they cannot find words for their

they Ennot find thoughts for their words. A vast difference. Thoughts are but dreams till their effect he tried. And the trouble with most of us is we never give our thoughts a chance to produce. Too many yield to the opinions of others without taking pains to meditate upon their hearing. That's one reason why the masses are enslaved to opinion in political and religious matters. 0 O C
