WORLD S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read Ephesians 1:15-23 * Christ . . . loved the rhurch, and gave Himself for it. (Ephesians 5:25) More than thirty years ago in the middle of the anti-Christ move ment in China, a young man was told that the church had this and that bad with it. This young man answered, “I don’t know many things, but I know I came from a poor family. If there were no church, I could not have re ceived any education. My wife and many of my friends are Christians. They are not so bad as you have said.” The man who had said so many bad things about the church had noth ing more to say. Why do I love the Church? I love it because I myself am growing spir itually and mentally in the fellowship of the church. Our children are try ing to be good citizens. All our Christian friends are doing good things for the church and for society. We need the Church as sheep need the fold. We should feel as King David felt in saying, “I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my (^id, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” PRAYER Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for Thy Son, Jesus Christ, who came and founded the Church. Guide us that in the Church we may grow in the love and knowledge of Christ and that we may become perfect in Him. In His name we pray. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Christ is our good shepherd, and the Church is our fold. Wen T.

Joanna Phone 3111 SENSING THE NEWS By Thurman Senaing Executive Vice-President Southern States Industrial Council FORCED ARBITRATION IS NOT THE ANSWER Writing in his syndicated column recently, Walter Lippman asserted that the federal government should be clothed with the power to end the freedom of private enterprise. The shocking assertion that this well known pundit made was that the government should have author ity‘to impose a settlement’ ’in the steel strike. Others, including Sen- aor; Sherman Cooper, of Kentcky, have also advocated this move. Mr Lippman said that the United States cannbt afford to have a basic industry closed down because of a dispute between management and the unions. “Giant corporations and giant unions,” he said, must sub mit to compulsory arbitration. And in an appalling naive comment, Mx. Lippmann said that, if provided wit.i this power, the government would use it only on the “rarest oc casions.” This point of view, expressed in the Lippmann column which is printed in more than 100 newspa pers throughout the country, is an tagonist to a free society. The basic assumption behind Mr. Lippmann's reasoning is that both property own ers and laboring men have only lim ited rights—that the abstraction known as “society” has virtually unlimited rights. This is the atti tude and practice of the police state. Mr. Lippmann brusquely pushes aside the question of property- rights. Steel mills, after all, are not national property, as in the So viet Union.'They were not built by bureaucrats or subsidized by pol iticians. American steel mills are the handiwork of individual capital ists who have foresight, the enegry and the courage to invest in great productive enterprises. The steel mills .like the corner grocery store or the average man’s dwelling, are private property. The earnings of the steel companies should be as insoluble as the earnings of a ditch- digger, doctor, minister or sales man. If the federal government, through the agency of a bureau crat, can stop in and say to the steel companies how much they can charge for their product and how much they will earn each year, the same thing can be done to every property owner and wage earner in the United States. Indeed, compul sory arbitration puts both manage ment and unions in the class of slaves who must accept conditiohs imposed by a master. The power of the big unions is vicious, but far more dangerous would be a solution to strikes that robbed private en terprise of control over the wages paid to workers. Mr. Lippmann's demand is sim ply the demand of socialists every where who want government to gain complete ascendency over private property. In Britain, the socialistics attempted to gain their ends by na tionalization of basic industries Here, they dare not be so bold. In stead they employ a covert ap proach, utilizing every business up set to promote their dangerous phil osophy. The U. S. public must be resolute in resisting the persuasion of ‘liberal” pundjsts who will at tempt to win widespread accept ance for compulsory arbitration, knowing that it i* in reality dis guised totalitarianism and the end of private property The only solution for such intol erable situations as we are now en during in the case of the steel strike —and this solution rests with Con- ; gress—is to make the unions sub ject to the anti trust laws Certain, ly, monopoly unionism has now gained a power over the nation's economy never dreamed of when ! the labor unions were made exempt from these laws. As it is now, an in dustry-wide union in a vital indus try can at. will destroy the econ omy. and the very safety of the na tion at the whim of a few men In permitting this situation to con tinue, our present labor laws place labor unions in a class by them selves and give the labor bosses privileges which no. other persons in this country enjoy That is not only contrary to this nation’s tra ditional adherence to the principle of ' fair play." but *s i\ is working out. is a striking example of the fact‘that “absolute power corrupts absolutely.’’ This situation has demJink'd ac tion by Congress for many year> it has now come to 'lie point where it calls for a special session.
