No Priority in Religion is Today's Topic
Force Rightly Used May
Be Needed TO Fight Evils

the moral authority of Jesus and
the power of one conscientious,
aroused man to put TO flight a
whole group of profiteers and
towards. But the incident dis
plays one aspect of the mild and
gentle Jesus that is significant
and that has relation to our con-
duct and life today. Force can
only accomplish so much, and
the world ought to have learned
by now that, even in war, real
victory depends upon a great
deal more than physical con-
quest.
But force in its place and
rightly used may also be nee
essary.
The prejudice that affects men
is bad or worse than the greed
and willingness to exploit re-
lIgion for profit. From the in
stance of Jesus expelling of the
money changers, we turn to the
picture of His healing the lame
and the blind in the temple. But
the official representatives of re-
ligion were outraged by this ex-
erciSe of authority by one who
was not of their group, and we
are told that they were moved
with indignation. To what depths
or degradation can false use of
religion bring people when they
can become indignant over the
healing of their afflicted fellow
men simply because the healing
has not been done under their
authority!
The instance of the whitening
of the unfruitful fig tree is more
difficult. Almost all the mira
cles of Jesus were on the side
of healing, health giving, and
more abundant life, and this fact
suggests that the whitening OF
the tree was to enforce q para
BILE regarding the uselessness of
the tree, or the life, that is un-
truthful and that does not fulfill
the purpose that God intended.
The incident must have enforced
that teaching very strongly upon
the minds Of those who were
present.

EditOr of Advance
Text: Matthew "1:12-22

Our lesson contains a brief
passage Of Scripture that, in re-
cent years, at least, has been
the occasion of more controver-
Sy than any other. 1t is the story
of Jesus casting out the money!
changers and the people who
were buying and selling in the
temple. The teaching that we
should love our enemies, that
we should turn the other cheek
when we have been smitten on
the one, and that we should not
resist evil but overcome evil
with good, has been interpret
ed by some TO mean that under
no circumstances should the
Christian resort 10 force. Spe-
officially, it is a plea of the con-
SCientiouS objector, who refuses
70 give military service to the
state even to defend his coun-
try.
Against this absolutist view
of the teaching of Jesus, that
does not take into account rela-
tive circumstances or Condi-
tons, others cite this incident
with the evidence that Jesus,
on one occasion at least, used
force and did not regard His
teaching about overcoming evil
with good TO be interpreted TO
the disregard Of re son and
common sense. Those who take
the view that the Christian is
not justified in using force I'M
der any circumstances try to
explain away the incident by
claiming that what Jesus mani
tested was really moral indig-
nation, and one interpreter
claims that the so-called whip
of small cords" was one that
Jesus wove from the ruShes
with which the temple floor was
strewn, and that ii was a SYM
Dol of His moral authority rath-
er than an actual weapon OF
physical offenSe.
But such ar Interpretation
hardly is in accord with the pic
ture we have in our lesson of
an indignant Master owe. turning
the money-changers' tables and
upsetting the chairs of those who
sold the doves. There was at
least a show of force, though
one may we'll believe that Jesus
overawed them with the inten-
sity of His moral indignation.
One would have supposed that
those whom He attacked might
have ganged up against Him,
and might easily have proven
stronger physically than He, SO
that one should not minimize

JULY AND AUGUST;
OFFENSE AND DEFENSE

The Germans are at the peak Of fury
in their summer campaign. They have
made substantial gains, but not enough
yet
Will United Nations major counter
attack-a second front-change the pic
ture materially this summer? Will the
Germans gain enough territory TO make
their sacrifice Of manpower worth while!
Those are questions the whole world
is asking Nobody knows the full answer,
and few know even the partial answer.
Here is a consideration, however, which
might we'll be kept in mind in our own
personal speculations.
In northern, eastern and central Eur
ope the days left for full-scale fighting
are on the decline, and that fact applies
to both sides-the Germans and our own.
July and August. and part of Septem-
Der. may be counted still among the
fighting days in Europe. After that,
a major offensive by either side will be
doubly difficult, and doubly hazardous.
Every day that passes without the
opening of a second front by the United
Nations now makes it less likely that
such front, on land, will be opened this
summer.
Every day that passes without vital
German victory brings certain defeat
closer for the Axis, however, and in that
fact may lie a hint of Allied strategy. II
the Germans can be held with only COM
paratively slight gains in the European
theater until winter sets in, that will be
as good as a second front-and lot less
costly In manpower.
The Germans can take lot of territory
in Russia, for instance, without actually
bettering themselves for the coming VIM
ter. To really improve their position,
they've got to take oil fields, and other
material sources to keep them going
through the winter that is coming. If
they do not take such sources, no amount
of simple territorial gains will do them
any good.
Nobody doubts that this winter, and
the following spring, will see the United
Nations definitely in the ascendency-if
only we can forestall the dangers of the
present summer.

PIERRE LAVAL.
NAZl SLAYER

(ChrlStian Science Monitor)
IL Is something more than a month
since a Nazi decree increased working
hours IN French factories That decree
foreshadowed the move now made by
Pierre Laval. Vichy chief of government,
TO send French workers into Germany.
BY increasing work hours when there
was already insufficient work to go
round. the NaZiS caused many French
men TO be thrown out of their jobs, thus
enlarging Frances labor surplus and
causing many French workers to face a
hopeless future.
After several weeks of this "softening
up process, the Nazi mouthpiece, Laval,
steps forward with an appeal to
Frenchmen TO separate themselves from
homeland and from families and offer
their services in Germany to the would
be master-race of Europe. On these
terms the Nazis are to return some
French prisoners of war.
Laval must know as we'll AS anyone
else that he is adding one more betrayal
to the many that the French people have
suffered at his hands. He knows he Is
merely asking civilians to become prison
ers of the Third Reich in the place of
soldiers.
But his reasons are clear, He states
that he desires a German victory" This,
he says, is for Frances sake to prevent
France from being Cheated Such
remark must produce ironic laughter
among Frenchmen. 1t will not produce
many voluntary French workers for Ger
man factories. But it is obvious that
means of compulsion were being devised
weeks ago in the Nazi program of sabo-
tagng Frenchmen's jobs in France be-
fore offering them slavery in Germany.

IT'S ANOTHER STORY
TO THE SOUTHWARK

. In Egypt and the remainder of the
African war theater it will do the Allies
no good just to hold the Axis in check
for the summer 1t will do them no good,
because the winter months there provide
the best of all fighting weather. and
there can be little doubt that heated as
it is now, the African campaign will
grow even hotter with the coming of Win
ter.
With the freezing up of large part
of the European war front, in fact, more
troops and weapons will be released for
action in Africa. From one standpoint,
this is a grave consideration for our own
commanders.
1t is the Germans who will benefit most
largely by being able to shift troops from
the Russian front to the African desert.
The Russians are not fighting in Africa,
and cannot be expected to fight there.
The British and Americans are not fight
ing in Russia as yet, and so presumably
are even now available for shifting to
Africa. If we're going to send more
troops there, we can do it now if the
Germans are going to send more man.
power into Africa, they will be in bet
ter position TO do it after winter sets in
on other fronts.
1t appears that we can feel a certain
satisfaction in merely holding the line in
Europe, but if we're to escape a terrible
winter in Africa, we ought to act there
quickly, before more strength can be
thrown against us.
