‘‘Think—Speak—Participate—
Build America’s Future”
History has seen the destruction
as well as the achievements of
many nations and empires. These
failures resulted from the influen
ces of alien sources. These ideas
might have seemed a little irreg
ular to the citizenry, yet no one
feeemed really concerned until it
was indeed “too late.” That was
the nation that was.
Stories of current nations are
based around the same old plot.
A person familiar with several of
these stories will be able to pre
dict the ending of current and
future situations. Perhaps the
most illustrative story of this
kind is The Decline and Fall of
The Homan Empire. If the United
States were placed in the scene
how far in the drama would we
be?
Someone once figured that the
average time a nation existed as
such, was around 200 years Sim
ple arithmetic (1965 minus 1776
equals 189) shows where we stand
j compared with the average. But
the interference comes with the
“average.”
America does not seem to be
just another nation. Her people
won’t let it be. Americans do all
sorts of things. They say what
they want, write what they want,
paint some crazy looking pictures,
disagree with everything you may
say, and volunteer their time to
teach Sunday School classes. Their
interests are many and varied.
They can create the kind of life
they wish. Will they always have
this opportunity.
It is fine to have many inter
ests, but we must not overlook the
reason we are able to pursue these
interests. America is the land of
the free. Things just didn’t hap
pen this way either. Free America
was the product of the ideals and
dedication on the part of men
who wanted the best life possible
for all men. They knew that they
alone could not acomplish such a
dream. But they initiated a system
whereby each of endless genera
tions would have a greater op
portunity for accomplishing its
individual dreams. “A Republic, if
you can keep it, madam,” was
Ben Franklin’s answer.
The founding fathers seemed to
take Voltaire to heart when he
said, “I may not agree with a
thing you say, but I will defend

to the death your right to say it.”
We as Americans must never
loose sight of this philosophy, for
in it lies the success of our nation.
The late President Kennedy was
a champion of this idea. His best
seller, “Profiles in Courage”, re
flects how personal respect for
those dedicated legislators who
made unpopular decisions; decis
ions made in the public interest
by genuinely dedicated men even
at the risk of their personal res
pect.
Attitudes seem to be changing.
People stay clear of politics be
cause “it is run by crooks,” they
say. Such persons should band
together in opposition. If they
take no action they are the ones
to be criticized. Unfortunately too
many say, “I can’t afford to get
involved.” Meantime a New York
girl is stabbed to death while
scores of people watch from their
windows. High office holders par
ticipate in meetings and aid Com
munist front organizations. Am
ericans are dying in the “peace”
in Viet Nam. Fellow Americans,
you can’t afford not to get involv
ed!
How do you get involved? The
first thing to do is to register and
vote. Join a political party or pol
itical action group thereby making
your opinion known to others. It
is only through this means that
our American representative gov
ernment system will be guaran
teed.
The action of today’s citizens
will determine the future of this
nation. Complacency charts the
course of fallen nations. Our ship
of State can be guided only by a
revival in interest of each indi
vidual. With increasing Federal
controls and laws, government be
comes less and less by the people.
For the individual to remain sup
reme, he must assume his individ
ual part, for he is the only one
that can insure a free America.
Are you an individual?

'CAMPUS
REVOLUTION
(Dr. L. Nelson Bell is a surgeon
who has given up his profession
to become a full-time evangelical
worker. He is the father-in-law of
Billy Graham and is an associate
editor of The Presbyterian Journ
al, to which he contributes a col
umn, “A Layman and His Church”
each week. The following column
appeared m the June 16 issue of
TTie Journal:)
Only those who have studied the
situation in South America are
aware of conditions within the
universities in those countries. In
many ways the students run the
institutions themselves. On every
campus there are professional ag
itators who stay for years, many
of them 30 years of age or more.
So when we read of “student dem
onstrations” we are often reading
of professionally instigated at
tacks against some political or in
ternational objective.
There is strong reason to be
lieve that something of the same
situation is developing in Amer
ica. In some instances students
have been led by professional ag
itators, as was true on the cam
pus at Berkeley, California. In
others it is bona fide students who
have left their role as such and
branched out forming groups de
manding “freedom” and “reforms”
—which if granted could lead to
academic anarchy.
Some students in state universi
ties are now demanding a voice
in the choice of faculty members.
Many rise up in open protest when
a professor is dismissed, regard
less of the cause.
In some church-related institu
tions there are some who demand
the ' elimination of those aspects
of education which identify the
school as more than secular. There
are demands, such as that students
be permitted to keep liquor in
their rooms — otherwise their
“freedom” is infringed upon.
The ominous thing is that in
too many instances the adminis
tration has weakly capitulated to
the demands of students, no mat
ter how far afield these may be.
In Northern institutions it is not
uncommon for permission to be
given for male students to have
near-by women students in their
dormitory rooms’ until 1 a.m., or
vice versa. The question inevitably
comes to mind, “Who is fooling
whom?”
Basic to all of these changes
which are appearing so rapidly
on our American campuses is lack
of discipline without which peo
ple first flounder, then perish.
This lack of discipline begins at
home, extends out into the social
order and right into the adminis
tration and class rooms of our
institutions of higher learning.
What may have begun as isolated
instances of revolt is on the way
to becoming a rebellion which will
affect the entire life of our na
tion.
When Christian faith and prin
ciples dominate the home they
are reflected in society as a
whole. There was a time when
Christianity was the impelling mo
tive for the establishment of col
leges and universities. In those
institutions Christian discipline
and the imparting of knowledge
came above all else.
Now that Christian faith is
confused and principles are blurr
ed we find the lowest in man, not
the highest, coming to the sur
face and it is not a pretty sight.
Are there a sufficient number
of convinced Christians left to re
store once more the iron of con
viction and discipline in the home
and on outward into the institu
tions which yet bear the name
“Christian”?
If so, now is the time to act.
If not, the future is dark in
deed!
