THE. 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.

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.
