CALVIN
DIGEST

BY L. BAYNARD WHITNEY

MOT PEACE, but a sword! And
the old order passeth.
The Oxford Group was very
active set of peace makers before
the spread of the present European
War which has grown into the
Second World War. This fine
group of well dcers, sometimes
called the Buchmanites, practiced
and dedicated themselves to the
wise solution of the worlds prob
lens through the simple, and often
very effective, method of listening
to the still small Voice of intui-
ton: some call it Conscience,
others call it God; then they
would arise from their silent
meditation and go forth and speak
and ACT upon the Message they
had received from their sub
conscious mind or Inner Man. The
Instructions which they received
were often at variance with and
sometimes extremely opposed to
what they personally thought or
did.
However, if they Obeyed the
VOice-very often at the cost
OF their pride, egotism, sup
pressed hatreds, envy, jealousy,
intolerance, unfairness and in
Jnstice-they discovered that
the Inner Self was not only al
,Sr K>--%
percent accurate. AS a cOnse-
quence, they found themselves
solving the most complex prob
lens, social, personal, political,
even problems of national pol
icy and diplomacy.
In Germany, England and
France, personages high in gov
ernnent circles joined and prac-
tlced IN che Oxford Group. Their
success created such a sensation
that they widely published their
trim conviction that AT LAST
they had hit upon the right solu-
ton to the problems Of races,
men and nations.
TIE MISSING LINK
Soon the Powers of He'll were
turned loose upon the entire
world; the blacklist lies were
painted white and flashed around
the world; organized religion suf-
fered its greatest defeats since
the birth Of Christ; race hatreds
grew apace as a prelude to the
War OF Color; the faith of mil
liens was thrust into chaos and the
dark. And the Oxford Group was
forgotten.
What was wrong? Millions
cried out in fearful agony.
HAS God failed?-Or is there
a GOd???" Again, ''HOw can
the Diety possibly permit these
present conditiOns''y
But silent anc Of beauteous yet
terrible mien stood The Law-the
Law of Compensation. BE not
deceived; God is not Knocked. That
which We SOW shall We also reap"
Not the failure of God but of men
who have lorded 1t over the inno-
cent and the helpless as the
naught existed in the world except
tie law" Of their selfish will and
craven desires. 1t would be hard to
name any nation on the face of
the earth which has not sinned
against itself and others. Having
soWn the wind they are now reap
ing the whirlwind.

the father did not listen to the radio.
For many in Germany who do
listen to broadcasts coming from
abroad, the penalty is death that
does not wait five months and the
mishap of pneumonia. Nevertheless
many Germans, worried to the point
Of sleeplessness because they hear
only one side Of what is going on in
the world war, risk their lives and
listen to foreign broadcasts. To cir
cumvent professional shoppers, in
former neighbors and others who
might hear by accident they resort
to a variety Of devices.
The most common is to let one
radio blare forth broadcasts from
Nazl stations, while a midget radio
in the bedroom is tuned down to a
whisper which tells them what the
domestic stations do not. To keep
Germans from hearing foreign sta
tons radios in Nazi lands are manu-
featured so that reception is linn
tied to domestic stations. To in
