Citing that freedom from want
and fear, freedom in worship and
speech constitute much more than
political slogan the Directors
pointed to the teachings Of Christ

that freedom accords with Gods
will and law.

day by the Directors of the appoint

of God. The Six Pillars of Peace
SporEored by the Federal Council OF
the Churches of Christ in America
won widespread approval and the
Seven Principles set forth in the
joint statement Of Jewish, Roman
Catholic and Protestant leaders
likewise met with almost unanimous
acceptance. Hundreds of thousands
of Methodist. Baptist. Congrega-
tional and other laymen are engaged
in writing to the State Department
and members of the Congress call
ing for peace based on moral and
religious principles and a world
wide organization of nations to en-
force peace.
In the face Of all these definite
announcements, it is very difficult
to understand the timidity and hesi-
tation with which some to react to
the concrete proposal for bringing
spiritual influence directly to
bear on peace-making through
a religious advisory council COM
posed of acknowledged leaders
lay and clerical, of the rec
ognized faiths of the world, which
would have official status and act
in a consultative capacity at the
peace table and during the discus
sions and agreements which lead up
to the final peace.
So many seem to think that once
announcements have been made
and resolutions passed we can safely
leave everything to diplomats,
and politicians. Can such confidence
in the unselfish motives of the gen.
tlemen in question be justified? We
wonder why it is accepted in some
quarters that there win be experts
of all sorts and descriptions at the
peace discussions now in process
and the final treaty making but

can interpret the spirit of COM
munity to our generation, If We can
secure a measurable degree Of 10y
atty to the spirit of community. if
we can make this spirit Of commun-
fly the test Of Guardianship and

pier day, said Rev. DR.. John c.
Walker, Second Congregational
church pastor, in his sermon en-
titled, Church and Community,
Sunday morning.
DIR. Walker Said In Part:
Now the problems of religion to-
day, the perils and dangers which
confront us, the hopes and fears
before US, are not so unlike those
which confronted the people Of Is
raer in the long ago. There are
signs in our times which must be
read, read and needed, If our civil
ization, our institutions are to be
preserved. Grim and dreadful as
these times are, and the historians
of the future will point many a
moral to the tale as they recount
the mistakes, the sorrows, the trag-
edies of these days. there Is never
theless some good reason to believe
that not all the signs Of, our times
are sad and grim. God can make
the wrath of men to praise Him. BY
Gods grace we may have a rare
opportunity to rebuild our civiliza-
ton when the holocaust of war has
passed. I, for one, believe that this
world conflict is more Of a revolu-
ton that 1t Is war. I believe that
there is new and better order
struggling to be born, that the COM
mon people Of the world will de-
mand and must receive a larger
measure Of opportunity in the days
Of the future, that the subject peo-
Piles, the exploited peoples, must be,
will be liberated. Indeed / make
so bold as to suggest that If we can
read one Of the signs of our time
we can do great things for the flu
ture of the world. There is one
word that will do much to solve the
desperate problems which confront
us. I lay all my emphasis this day
on that word. That word is com
munity"
AS over against many dishearten-
ing signs and portents of our day
we can see a growing spirit of COM
munity in our churches. There was
a day, not many generations since.

being gradually evolved and nego-
tiated so that pretty concrete 0e-
cisions will have been reached when
hostilities cease. For that reason it
Is imperative that, to be effective, a
special religious, advisory council
should be set up now-not at wars
end. Let all speak out boldly de-
manding a voice for religion in seek
ing the basis for a righteous, Just
and lasting world peace! Should
not the Church of God speak brave
ly and clearly in these days? Is not
the church the ambassador of peace,
the representative of the Prince of
Peace?

In the modern world we have had
one crisis after another for many
years past but the evidence ac-
curnulates that we are rapidly APP
preaching the most decisive Of all
these crises. There is every con-
f1dence that victory will be won on
the field Of battle but there Is by
no means the same expectation that
we shall be wise enough to, make
the just and lasting peace all peo-
pies everywhere so ardently desire.
There Is a really surprising mea-
sure Of agreement with regard to
the necessity for building this peace
on moral and spiritual foundations.
Leaders Of all the Christian de-
nominations have spoken for a
Christian peace. The Jews ask for
a peace in conformity with the laws

just to come up to the standards oi

a million homes a year for many
years to come. And this does moi
include the enormous need for farm
housing repairs and alterations.
BY the end Of this year we vii,
have an immediate need for 5000, ,O0C
automobiles just to put the same
number of cars back on the road
that were there in 194l. We will

ferent articles made of steel and
iron which have not been manu-
factured since 1912. All this means
production and production means
jobs. But that kind of production
and that kind of jobs are beyond
the experience and vision of the
New Deal.
The transportation industry-rail,
air. and motor-is waiting to get
going.
Unused Energy Must

The mighty energy we found lying

at the beginning of the war must
be turned from destruction to crea-

to start out in business for him

We know from long experience

ods OF the New Deal. We cannot

time continue experimentation with
q new policy every day by the Ma
tional Government. We cannot sue.
ceed with a controlled and rGru.
lated society under Government
which destroys incentive, chokes
production, fosters disunity and
discourages men with vision and
from creating employ
ment and opportunity.
The New Deal really believes
that unemployment Is bound to be
with us permanently. It says 30.
They will change this l2-year-old
tune between now and election,
They have done 1t every time. But
they've always come back to 1t aft
er election. The New Deal really
believes that We cannot have good
social legislation and also good Jobs
for all. believe with all my heart
and soul that We can have both.
OF course, we need security reRu-
lation. OF course, We need bank
deposit insurance. OF course, we
need price support for agriculture.
OF course, the farmers of this coun.
try cannot be left to the hazards of
a world price while they buy their
goods on an American price. OF
course, we need unemployment in
surance and old-age pensions and
also relief whenever there are not
enough Jobs. OF course, the rights
OF labor to organize and bargain
collectively are fundamental. NV

Uncle Roy's Corner

There is a grass in Northern
Africa which cattle like to eat. That
Is, they eat it II they can get 1t
before 1t is too old. In It's "old age"
this grass is so tough that a COW
can't get it down very well.
| am speaking of esparto grass.
Esparto grass grows In Spain, as
well as In Northern Africa. There
are thousands Of acres OF 1t in the
parts Of Spain known as Valencia
and Murcia. It grows best in dry,
sandy soil. Sometimes it reaches
a height OF or feet.
The stalks grow in clusters. One
cluster may be 8 or feet wide.
Growing from the stalks are gray.
green leaves. The leaves usually
are from inches to Q feet long,
but some have q length of 3 feet.
The fact that this grass becomes
tough is important. After it has
been in the ground for several years,
it Is excellent for making ropes.
The grass is Of light weight. After
being turned into a rope or cable,
ut will float on the surface of the
sea. The Spanish Navy has used
eSparto grass cables for long time.
When esparto grass goes to seed,
the wind often breaks on the
spiked "awns" which grow at the
tops Of the stalks and which hold
the seeds. The awns sail In the
breeze and may travel so miles or
more. N
Settling on the ground at last.
an avn gets 'foothold" In the
soil. Then a strange thing starts
to go on. Taking moisture from the
air, the avn grows a bit longer and
goes deeper into the soil.
Dry weather tends to shorten the
awns, but they have barbed hairs
which hold them in the soil. The
seeds become buried so more es-
parto grass can grow.
Esparto grass Is one of the
feather grasses" Other kinds of
feather grass have much the same
method of spreading their seeds.
Besides being turned into rope,
esparto grass goes into sandals,
baskets, mats and paper. It has
been used for paper making in Eu-
rope for a long time.
Esparto grass has been found
growing in dry parts of the United
States, from New England to Wis
cOnSin,
