" Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is June 30, 1978,
and this is my Audioletter No. 35.

The issues that will determine the fate of Western
Civilization were laid before the world earlier this month. It
happened in two Commencement speeches on the 7th and 8th of June.
One speaker diagnosed the decisive challenge now confronting the
West. The other speaker dealt with our response to that
challenge.

The challenge to the West was set forth on June 8 by Alexander
Solzhenitsyn, the exiled Russian author, in his speech at Harvard
University in Cambridge, Mass. Pointing to the decline in
courage that typifies Western leaders today, he reminded his
listeners that "from ancient times decline in courage has been
considered the beginning of the end." Considering the cause of
our deterioration, he said: "How did the West decline from its
triumphal march to its present sickness? The mistake must be at
the root, at the very basis of human thinking in the past
centuries." And Solzhenitsyn identifies this deadly mistake as
the perversion of our governing and social systems away from
their original spiritual base. For example, speaking of the
birth of the United States, he said: "All individual human rights
were granted because man is God's creature. That is, freedom was
given to the individual conditionally, in the assumption of his
constant religious responsibility. Subsequently, however, all
such limitations were discarded everywhere in the West."

And so, according to Solzhenitsyn, we have put MAN in a
position that should be reserved for God alone. Human rights and
freedoms have come to be viewed as absolutes in and of
themselves, and man and his material needs come first above all
else. In other words, my friends, the choice before us is
MATERIALISM or SPIRITUALITY. The challenge facing the West is to
restore spirituality to our entire way of life, otherwise the end
is in sight!

On June 7, the day before Solzhenitsyn spoke at Harvard, Jimmy
Carter spoke to the graduating class of the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. The audience in Cambridge had
yet to hear of the Challenge to the West from the famous Russian
exile. But the audience at Annapolis got a taste of the response
to this challenge from the President of the United States. Today
it is the United States that is the custodian of Western
Civilization; and as the alleged leader of the Western world,
Jimmy Carter bears a unique responsibility to speak the truth and
do so with wisdom and authority. He is also the only Western
leader of today who has deliberately made his religious practices
a conspicuous part of his public image. Yet you will search the
Carter speech at Annapolis in vain for any trace of recognition
of the Spiritual Challenge that Solzhenitsyn highlighted so
clearly. Just the opposite, in fact.

Jimmy Carter praised the United States' philosophy as "based
on personal freedom, the most powerful of all ideas"; and the
underlying theme of the Carter speech was that the Soviet Union
must choose "confrontation or cooperation." These words are
nothing more than a part of the propaganda barrage now under way
to condition the American public for war--a war that Western
Civilization is unlikely to survive.

Solzhenitsyn's words had the ring of truth because they are
true. But because he dared to speak in spiritual terms, he is
being attacked on all sides of the major media. Those who are
attacking Solzhenitsyn now are the very same forces of evil who,
a quarter-century ago, attacked the late great British historian
Arnold Toynbee. Toynbee, of course, wrote the monumental work
entitled "A Study of History." [...]"
