GREAT WORLD TRUCE BASED
ON MISSION PRORAM SEEN
By ROGER W. BAB SON
Bafbson Park, Fla., Feb. 8. I am
writing this column after return
ing from a Foreign Missions’ meetr
ing. It has reminded me of the
great missionary 1 movements of my
youth, which older readers will re
member. Unfortunately, our chil
dren never experienced and hence
will not be interested in what I am
about to writ.
Songs We Used To Sing
Those were great days! The
country was then stirred up about
foreign missions as it is now ex
cited over infla
tion. We wanted to
“save” the heathen
of China, India
and Africa. Great
mass meetings
were held when
many of ' my
friends dedicated
themselves to go
to foreign lands to
tell of the “Love
of Jesus.” My
Father and Mother were very ac
tive in raising funds to support the
missionary cause.
‘ Picking up an old hymn book of
my boyhood, I note the songs
which we all enthusiastically sang:
“From Greenland’s Icy Mountains
to Indian’s Coraid Strand.” Another
was “Rescue the Perishing, Care
for the Dying.” Another “Arise, Ye
Soldiers of the Cross.” Another
“Christ for the World We Sing ”
Then we all would repeat: “Take
my life and let it be consecrated.
Lord, to Thee; take my hands and
let them move,—take my lips and
let them be filled with messages
from Thee,—take my silver and my
gold ”
What We Now Do
I do not question the present
military policy of President Tru
man. I am not a pacifist—if a mad
dog should come into my house, I
would shoot it. Probably the world
is not yet ready for peace. Per
haps the Korean-Chinese cam
paign is sound.
It, however, certainly does not
make sense to have been teaching
the “heathen Chinese” of the Love
of God in my youth and then now
shooting and bombing these same
people, many of whom are grad
uates of our missionary schools.
They certainly must think we
Christians are a nation of hypo
crites.
What About Point Four? —-
It is popular for some conserva
tive church people to wildly crit
icize President Truman. Probably
he has been misled and has made
many mistakes. His desire, how
to help backward nations
surely accords with Bible teachings.
All serious church members who
believe in foreign missions should
endorse Point Four.
We Americans cannot indefinite
ly “live the life of Riley”' with our
reckless waste and pleasures while
so many of the world’s people are
starving. Ultimately, either our liv
ing standards will be lowered or
else we must help other nations
raise their living standards. Per
haps the first persecuted race we
should help is the displaced Jews
of Israel; but first we need a World
Truce.
Known By Our Fruils
A professor under whom I once
studied at the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology would prove
that God has giveif the world new
discoveries "only ai soon as the
people were ready for them. This
was his interpretation of the old
saying, “Necessity is the mother of
invention.” May this now bring us
a World Truce.
I wish that preachers, instead of
praying for peace, would pray that
we be worthy of peace and be will
ing fo make the necessary sacri-
ces therfor. Then peace will come
naturally, as have other great bless
ings. The Apostle Paul must have
had this in mind when he said:
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God j
hath prepared for them that love
him ” (1st Cor, 2:9)
A Final Thought
It certainly seem* as if some
uation makes me feel that there
has been a mistake somewhere.. Let
us remember Edison and see that
it will be corrected, if we hope to
have further prosperity and avoid
unemployment. We now need a
World Truce,—not simply a Korean
Truce.
Six-Inch Sermon
THE DECISION OF TWO
RICH MEN
Leoson for February 17: Luke II:
Golden Text: Matthew 7: 13-14;
11-23; 19: 1-10.
The present lesson contrasts two
rich men and reveals the difference
between them. One was the rich
young ruler who asked how to in
herit eternal life; the other was the
publican who climbed into a syca
more tree to see Jesus,
v As the yoong ruler had doubtless
inherited his riches,.he seemed to
feel that eternal life should be due
him because of his keeping the
Ten Commandments. But the se
quel shows that he had not truly
kept the commandments. He was
not willing to give up his wealth
for Jesus and to share with the
poor. v
Zaochaeus, the rich publican, was
a small man in more ways than in
stature. The day he saw Jesus he
was "up a tree” literally and fiff-
| uratively.-He was so poor in repu-
* tation that his people despised him
as a renegade Jew. He had become
a tax collector under the Romans
and had used the opportunity to
extort heavy amounts from the
people. As he had probably bought
the privilege of collecting taxes
over a wide area, with no limita
tion set upon the amounts that he
would collect, he had ample oppor
tunity to collect large sums above
the amount he had to pay to the
Roman government So he was
rich, but he was not satisfied.
The young ruler allowed money
to use him; Zaochaeus, upon com
ing to know Jesus, learned to use
money by restoring, ill-gotten gam*
and by sharing with the poor. ^

mistake has been made. Either the
leaders of our mission schools did;
not properly teach the right Gos
pel, or else we in this country have
set such a poor example as to un
do all their efforts. Jesus said: “By
their fruits ye shall know them.”!
Did He expect this would be ap-i
plied to our foreign missionaries or
to us churchmen here at home whoj
are urging Truman to bomb China? J
The eleventh of February is the
birthday of Thomas A. Edison for
whom I once had the honor of
working.; When anything which he
dia failed to give the desired re
sults, he always blamed it on him-,
self, — never on the chemicals or
other materials with which he wasj
experimenting. He would then tryi
to iind the mistake which he had
made. I believe in foreign missions
end in present day churches, but
certainly this Korean-Chinese sit-
