Thoughtful people are wonder
ing what this year of 1958 will
bring to the world. Peace and
prosperity, or destruction and
death?
Some think the Four Horsemen
must ride again. They are pessi
mistic and downcast. There seems
to them no peaceful way of meet
ing the menace of world Commu
nism.
A story told by Congressman
Walter H. Judd of Minnesota
should give them a ray of hope.
It suggests a remedy other than
f war for the disease of Stalinism.
If time does not run out on the
freedom-lowing nations, this one
year might see much accomplish
-1 ed.
In the Telegu region of South
India there is an arid and deso
late stretch of country—a valley
of dry bones, it might be called.
Into this section some hundreds
of wretched and illiterate labor
ers have drifted within recent
years. They came in the hope of
wrestling from the parched soil a
bare existence, instead of remain
ing where they were, to die of
starvation. A Christian couple,
natives of India, the Joseph
Johns, hearing of their plight, de
cided to cast in their lot with
them. The husband was a grad
uate of a theological seminary,
the wife a graduate of a medical
school. Like Albert Schweitzer,
when he went to Africa, this cou
ple felt that they must choose the
most neglected field they could
find as their sphere of service.
Sobn after their arrival new
life was coming to the doleful
valley. The Johns did not treat
the people like mendicants; they
helped them to help themselves—
to dig wells, to start a system of
irrigation. They opened a small
dispensary, and began teaching
arts and crafts. An American or
ganization, World Neighbors,
founded by Congressman Judd
t and other men of broad vision,
heard of their work and sent them
aid. Diesel pump s were put in
the wells, and the whole program
enlarged.
Unfortunately the Communists
in India heard of their work, and
were much displeased. They sent
into the region an able organizer
named Ponnusamy. He won
fourteen of the brightest men to
Communism. Day after day these
members of the cell tried to sow
discontent, and foment hatred of
the Johns and their whole pro
gram.
One day the wife of Ponnusamy
fell ill—deathly ill. John went
to her husband.
“We know why you are here,”
he said, “and what you are try
ing to do. But my wife is a doc
tor. And your wife is ill. If you
will bring her to our dispensary,
perhaps we can help her.”
The Communist leader hated
Christianity, but he loved his
wife. He took her to the dispen-,
sary and she began to get better.;
As she was recovering he watch- 1

to cultivate, and to possess, the
soil. He saw former illiterates
becoming master craftsmen. He
saw despair giving place to hope
and aspiration. He then came to
John.
“Why do you do these things?”
he asked. “I have always been
faught and always believed that
these things can come only when
Communism takes over. I see
you here doing what we have
thus talked about. Why do you
do it?”
John told him why—that there
were people in India and Ameri
ca who truly cared about other
people, and wanted to help them,
so that all working together
might build a better and happier
world.
I The Communist felt himself
I undergoing a change.
“Can I become that kind of per
son?” he asked. He was assured
that he could. But first, John
said, he should win over those
whom he had misled into Marx
ism.
The first year he won nine, and
had five to go. Meanwhile he be
gan writing of his disillusionment J
with Communism—two plays, onej
of which was published and had |
a wide circulation. His former
masters, learning of hi s defection
from their ranks, decreed he must
die. A number of attempts were
made on his life. But he is alive
today, and is a very active help
er in the establishment he once
longed to destroy.
A recent gigantic ship of the
U. S. Navy cost one hundred mil
lion dollars. The price of such a
vessel would establish centers:
like the one mentioned in a j
thousand dollars to use in help-’!
ing the depressed masses to help
themselves and build internation-1
al brotherhood. What might not i
such an investment, if properly,
manned and motivated, mean to
humanity! J
Those who scoff at the practi
cability and efficacy of such
measures of Christianity-in-action
might ponder the words of the |
late Rear Admiral Richard E. j
Byrd.
“Christianity has not failed,”,
declared this valiant and thought
ful Virginian. “It is s imply that
nations have failed to try it.
There would be no war in a God
directed world.”

Quick and Easy Oven Meal
If you have never cooked a
complete meal in the oven, now
is a good time to try one. De
pendable oven cookery will leave
you free to take advantage of
May’s extra hours of sunlight to
garden or do other outside chores.
Choose foods that can be cooked
at the same temperature and
preferably for the same length of|
time. Here is a simple, tasty j
meal that take s only 40 minutes j
to cook. Start with an oven pre
heated to 350 deg. F.
