What Germany?
that the new Germany will stand by us
in the future. We have seen many
reports of a revival of Naziism- Swasti
kas are reappearing, and it is a known
fact that some of the old Nazi offioers
are in the German army today.
We may be all wrong. We merely re
port our reactions to what we see.
We may be seeing too little, we may
be seeing too much.
We are for forgiving repentent sin
ners, but we can not yet see any signs
that the German people have repented
We are all for feeding our enemies, so
long as they do not convert our help
into munitions of war. If Hitler had
been able to do to us what he did tc
Russia, we might better be able to un
derstand East Berlin. "A burnt child
dreads the fire "
We are a bit more realistic in our
dealings with the Russians- Once we
went to their aid - -and now see what
that aid enabled them to do against us.
We are all for forgiving our enemies, but
even God cannot forgive the unrepent
ent. The sinner himself must create the
conditions for forgiveness.
special interests, whether they represent
capital or labor. . There is always the
danger lurking that representatives may
be influenced by money or other in
ducements. Such cases are on record.
Legislation by lobby is, in our opin
ion, wholly undemocratic. Pressures are
brought to bear upon legislators which
tende to offset clear thinking, confuse
issues, and undermine the confidence of
the people in the government-
There are, we are aware, certain
rgulations, but it should not be per
mitted. The people have ample ways
of making known their views to the law
makers.
Barnard Baruch
tendance representatives of most of the
major religious communions, as also
both major political parties- Their pres
ence attested to the great esteem in
which he was held universally. He had
a deep sense of human values, and with
a fair and >ust evaluation of menffil
their several gifts, and their deserving
rewards for their service. With his deep
awareness of special gifts and services,
he was also mindful of the responsibi
lities which went with them. This made
him the just judge and impartial coun
selor who was universally trusted and
beloved.
doctrines, creeds- In the past several
months in fact, years, we have seen the
spewing forth of bitterness and hatreds,
and hatred in the heart is the most
deadly poison, since it kills the spirit.
It is truly devastating in its effect upon
human personality or should we say,
the soul.
This is not something lately develop
ed. It has been growing over the years
as more and more we have become in
volved in a materialistic philosophy of
life. Some have even claimed Bibical
support for their behaviour, going back
to some old Testament standards which
our Lord declared were far below His
standards In fact, one of the reasons
why the religious leaders of His day
hated him and sought to destroy Him,
was because he insisted that other peo
ples were also children of His Heavenly
Father, and that the Father cared as
much for them as he did for the so
called chosen.
Television reports, show people in
almost every land, marching, singing,
shouting - not hymns of thankfulness
and praise, but chants of hate, and
chants of death- Money that ought to go
for bread, schools, hospitals, etc, goes
to make weapons and this while mil
lions are hungry, ill claid, in pain and
misery.
The Christian religion is a religion
of love. Love desires to lift others up; not
keep them down. Love looks at areas ol
poverty and makes effort to provide help
and restoration. Until Christians take the
initiative for love we shall continue to
have man against man-nation against
nation engaged in death, not life-
Money is worth only what it will buy,
the economist says, and we feel that is
sufficient.

60 SECOND SERMON

Fred Dodge
"FREEDOM IS A LIGHT FOR WHICH MAN IT MEN
HAVE DIED IN DARKNESS." Pullen.
In the East zone of Germany a Soviet instructor asked
his class, "May we in our East German Democratic Republic
tell openly and freely what we are thinking about?" No
one replied.
"Come, come," said the instructor, "at least one comrade
should know the answer. But this time I'll tell you the
correct one. Of course, we in our German Democratic Republic
may freely and openly tell what we are thinking. But we
must never think anything we can't tell freely and openly."
• • • • »
Our freedom is not realized by most of us because we
have nothing with which to contrast it. We say we are free.
That is accepted. But freedom cannot be inherited. Nor is
freedom a manna spread by our forefathers to sustain us.
Each generation must desire and earn its freedom. If, through
laziness or greed, we permit individuals or groups to decide
for us or carry out our responsibilities, we are not free.
To reap the blessings of freedom, Thomas Paine wrote,
"We must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
Unless we recognise that freedom needs our support; unless
we accept our responsibility to support it, freedom becomes
a word and not a fact.

Burlington Aid
To Eiieation
In Tenth Year
Greensboro, N. C. The
Burlington Industries to
Education Program, now in its
10th year as a formal activity,
has channeled nearly $5 milli
on into educational purposes.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., presi
dent of Burlington Industries,
Inc., said that in the past
school year alone the prog
ram contributed $1,300,000 in
direct grants, matched em
ployee giving, matched tui
tion, scholarships, fellowships,
professorships, matched scho
larship grants and education
al loans to institutions and
students. The largest grant
was a $500,000 gift to the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill for outpatient
clinics at North Carolina Me
morial Hospital as a memori
al to J. Spencer Love, found
er of the textile company.
Grants under the program
were made to more than 400
colleges and universities in 34
states during the past year.
Mr. Myers said, "We be
lieve that the private sector
of the business and industry
must help meet the challenge
of supplying young people
with the educational oppor
tunities necessary for success
in our increasingly complex
society. We want to encourage
greater interest in the finan
cial needs of our schools and
colleges." ,
Under the program, a
large number of the 400 re
cipient schools also received
monetary support through
participation in various state
and national educational or
ganizations to which the Bur
lington Foundation makes an
nual grants. In addition, 80
secondary and preparatory
schools received funds from
the Foundation.
