THE CRUEL CENTURY
By HEINZ ROIXMAN, Waynesville, N. C.
Unless we use the laipt"£K>rty
yfeArs of this century in
way than we have used ttti first
00 years of it, this will
rightfully go down in history as
the most cruel one sinqe the
birth of Christ. Never before in
the history of mankind, ijpave so
many shown so much': cruelty
and so much contempt ■tor their
feltowman as in .this century.
Rarely in the history of mankind
have so many cared So little
about what happens to the other
fellow. Rarely before in any of
the other nineteen centuries
have so many cared
about the 'fen Commandments.
<4 It is true that we have in
dustrialized part of the world.
It is true that child 'has
been abolished in a tevl coun
tries. It is true that malaria
itt many parts of the world does
not exist any more. We have
the stuff to create daily' Titad
lines, but we are not building
and we are not creating: We
are not consolidating, qor are
We considerate.
■i So far, this century has al
«*dy seen two bloody world
wN-s. far more cruel than! Any
thing heretofore krrowij in his
tory—maybe not the individual
Sion of each soldier, but col
tively the cruelty has not
been surpassed since oefrdjybe-j
fefe did so many children lose

Sttrito, Hitler, Mussolini, ‘ and
pends in such a short time.

•to SO short a time. , |
'' Billions are being spent to I
sknd satellites, dog houses ' and I
similar contraptions into, outer
while half the world goes
to bed hungry every night.
Never in the history of mankind
have so many professed to be
lieve in a certain religion and
never have so many lived up .less
to what they professed to be
lieve in. Never has the indus
trial or farm machinery of the
, so-called developed nations jaeen
, able to produce more, yet the [
distribution is no better, than
in the days of Columbus. For
what is the sense of being able
to produce and produce and pro-|

find that security is most super
stition. Helen Keller added,
“Security does not exist, in na
ture nor do the children of men,
as a whole experience it.”
Striving for security, however,
is necessary. Without it there
would be no achievement. Yet
we are most secure when we ac
cept the fact that security is a
mirage. When we admit that
change is ahfrays with us; that
today’s security can be tomor
row’s insecurity, we build a
resilience that makes us secure.
Change does not surprise, shock
nor devastate us. We expect it.
Then we 'are as close to security
as this wonderful, growing world
will perimt.
>ing' in the world?
Never has so much money been
foolishly wasted, both on arma
ments and cHafity, in the form
of foreign aid and other gim
micks as in this century, without
thiat it has helped humanity in
any way.
Shall we muddle through the
remaining 40 I years of this cen
tury the way we have gone
through the first 60 years? Is
there any hope that something
may be changed? Yes, there is.
Too many of the “haves” have
become worried about anything
that could smack of revolution,
since this is associated with the
rolling of heads and, therefore,
everyone who does not want to
be considered an outcast of so
ciety talks about evolution.
Evolution is all good and well;
heads should certainly never
roll, blood should never flow to
bring about a change, but if we
don’t adjust our emotions and
our mental abilities to the scien
tific and technical progress that
is being made, humanity can
not keep up with itself.
“Everything has to go slow and
easy, and for heaven’s sake, let’s
not ever take any chances with
anything.” The only thing that
is being done fast is the killing
of people in wars and under
dictatorships. “As to the rest,
let’s mak* as many 5, 10, 20,
and 50-year plans as we possi
bly can; let's appoint as many
committees all over the world
as we have room to put them.”
In other wortis, let’s pass the
• buck not just to the other fel
(low, let’s pass it on to the next
I generation and the generations
I thereafter.
Where then lies the hope for
I a change? Who can save the
last remaining four decades of
.this century? Basically, only the
United States. This is the first
time in the history of mankind
that one nation has been singled
out against its will, and has been
appointed the leading nation of
the world, and we are the lead
ing nation of the world even for
our enemies, communist Russia
and communist China. England
in her heyday wanted to be con
sidered the leading nation of the
world, and did everything possi
ble to hold that title. It slipped
'away; we got it against our will
| and we don’t know what to do
/with it. We are like the young
I college-educated fellow who
grew up in a vacuum. His fath
er dies and the fellow finds
himself-one fine morning at the
head of a multi-million dollar
.corporation, and he is unable to
give this corporation any direc
tion. He is unable to continue j
to breathe life into the people |
and into the business. Before i

long the family sells out to a I
publicly-owned corporation, who
appoints a professional manager.
We lack direction, and the world
does not have any idea what
we stand for, and we say one
thing and do another thing. Wej
talk about the oppressed people
of the world, and we proclaim
every day another “day”—either
'“Captive Nations Day” or “Miss
America Day”, and yet the world
witnesses the spectacle of a ma
jority in our own nation with
holding equal facilities or equal
opportunities from a minority.
That we have reasons for doing
so we understand. But unless
we can “sell” these reasons to
the people in other countries,
they are just not good enough
if we want to live in peace,' re
spect, and friendship with the
rest of the world*
We talk about Christianity and
fail to understand that these are
empty words to a hungry and
starving world when, at . the
same time, they know that our
$lO-billion farm surplus is rot
ting away. We probably pro
duce as many great men today
in our nation as we have in the
last century, but possibly the
great'men do not get that same
chance any more. We want to
elect people that are absolutely
“safe”. Safe for what? Safe in
letting us sleep? Safe in not
troubling our delicate peace of
mind? Why make an effort for
peace of mind when we can get
it for a dollar out Os a bottle,
either in liquid form or in the
form of tranquilizer pills? Nev
er in the history of mankind
have so few needed so much
liquor and so many tranquilizer
pills every day. ‘Does this not
show what fun we are missing in
life? Does this not show how so
many of us are running away
from reality instead of facing
life, grabbing it and living if
while we are able? This world
is not going to wait forever for
us to wake up to our obligations
if we keep on running away
from them also in the next four
decades. This world is going
to appoint some other nation as
i leader of the world. How we
j will fare under such circum
| stances is hard to say. Whether
| we will be able to enjoy all the
j “comforts of hofne” in the way
we have been doing It lately,
and enjoying it, is another ques
tion.

Sunday School Lesson
PIONEERS FOR CHRIST
International Sunday School
Lesson for January 3, 1960
Memory Selection: "Repentance
and forgivenees of sins should
be preached in his name lo all (
nations." (Luke 24:47).
Lesson Text: Acts 13.
Today’s lesson is the first in
a three-session unit on “The
Church Shares Its Concern.”
The aim of this unit is to show
that the concern of the gospel
should lead existing churches to
reach out to others with the
good news of God’s love in
Christ.
In our Scriptures for today we
read of Barnabas and Saul (later
called Paul) teaching the Holy
Gospel in the synagogue of the
Jews in Antioch. We read, fur
ther, of how, consumed by jeal
ousy of the crowds that gathered
to hear the Apostles preach, the
Jews turned away, and Barnabas
and Paul turned,to teaching the
Gentiles.
But, whatever difficulties these
two disciples encountered in
their efforts to spread Christian
ity, it cannot be tdenied that the
church at Antioch was an ac
tive one. When* we recall how 1

they sent famine relief to their
fellow Christians in Jerusalem
we realize that this group of
persons had an outgoing spirit.
Factors like these made the
church at Antioch a natural for
the first Christian missionary
base. But what actually releas
ed the expansive drive of these
churchmen was their earnest
commitment to the guidance of
the Holy Spirit..
Too, this church showed that
a congregation must reach out
geographically. On their first |
trip out of Antioch, Paul and
Barnabas started new churches
two or three hundred miles away
from home.
Today we have a wonderful
opportunity for “reaching out” to
our fellowmen. The world’s
population is truly “exploding,”
as the experts have put it. We
will, in noit too many years dis
tant, be faced with feeding,
clothing and educating these
teeming millions. But we have
an immediate and urgent duty
|to them NOW. For Christians
I it is a most significant fact that
these billions being born are
God’s children who must be
brought into a knowledge of God
in Jesus Christ. Every increase
in the world’s population brings
a larger mission responsibility
