Worldwide Bible Reading from Thanksgiving to Christmas is a month of nationwide emphasis on the Bible, aimed at encouraging wider use of the Bi.ble as a source of inspiration and self-help. Now in its seventh year, World wide Bible Reading had its begin ning during the war when a young Marine on Guadalca;nal wrote his mother, asking that his parents join wvith him in the daily reading of identical passages in their Bibles. The mother shared the sec ret of her invisible bond of fellow ship with her over-seas son with the Philadelphia office of the American Bible Society. Promoted by the American Bible Society and actively assisted by some 79 de nominations, World wide B i b 1 e Reading is sponsored by a widely representative national committee of laymen, of which President Harry S. Truman is honorary chairman. As part of the Worldwide Bible Reading program the American Bible Society publishes and pro vides free of charge for distribu tion a bookmark listing suggested passages for daily reading from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day, together with some briefly stated helps for Bible readirng. The high point of the Worldwide Bible Reading program is Univer sal Bible Sunday, observed in thousands of churches of every de nomination throughout the United States and in hundreds of churches overseas on Dee. 10th. The day will be further noted in public meetings, in the press, and .on the radio. Week Alexander Is Speaker In Chapel By EVELYN ROGERS "Can Christianity Compromise with Communism" was the topic of the talk made at 10 p. m. last Friday in the Chapel by the Rev. George M. Alexander, pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church in Co lumbia. Reverend Alexander answered this question by stating that "there is no ground for compromise be tween the spiritual aims of Com munism and the spiritual aims of Christianity or any other God fearing people." In presenting the reasons why Christians must stand firm against Communism, Reverend Alexander said that Communists by their own admission seek to benefit one class of society, while Christianity seeks the benefit of all classes of people. Also, he said that the Communists say there can be no end of hos tilities until their class has gained power, while Chrisianity seeks a peaceful solution. The third reason he gave was that Communism cares nothing for the rights of individuals, and does not pretend to grant these rights. "Communism takes no thought for the age-old struggle of mankind for respect for law," he said. He went on to say, "We have been taught that fair play is a fine thing. Communism says that any kind of fair play is nothing but an expression of weakness . . . and we cannot admit that they are right." In summing up, Reverend Alex ander said, "We must stand for these things . . . Truth takes no position whatsoever in the Com munist scheme of things. To them, material things are the only things that exist. We cannot agree to that or.adhere to any group that holds to that." Reverend Alexander said that the items that he listed were words from the work of a Communist writer. He suggested that before the students graduate from college they have some clear idea of what Communism is, what its aims are, and that they think about their part in it. During the time that Reverend Alexander has been in Columbia he has made several talks to the campus 'Y' organizations. Prior to coming to Columbia he worked ex tensively with college students in Florida.
