Of the official Russian mind, can
not understand the hysterical at
tacks in the Russian press on Walter
Lippman. for instance. who has been
in the first ranks of those who urge
Russo-American unity; attacks on
Senator Vandenberg against whom
they throw their whole book Of anti
fascist vocabulary when he Is on
record as supporting a three-power
treaty for disarming the axis which
would be the basis OF the chief thing
Stain wants-an agreement Of the
only two great powers besides his
own country. which would guarantee
Russian security.
! do not understand all this. do
not accept the propaganda which
tries to say that communist govern
ment Is democracy. But there is
one thing which sold me on playing
ball with Russia. That Is the pa
tient, earnest and convincing argu-
ment OF former Secretary OF State
Cordell Hull, who certainly has no
more love for communism than he
has for fascism, who was never &C.
cused of wandering with his head
in the clouds or Of trying to reform
the world, or square the circle. and
although he has faith a-plenty he
wouldn't try to move a mountain
without a bulldozer.
His argument boils down to this:
Russia and America need each 9th.
er. Russia knows this. There are
fewer obstacles to a practical un-
derstanding between the countries
than there are reasons why we
should work together for mutual
benefit.

That call comes to every believer.
To those who are to serve Him.
there Is 4 definite call much like
Abrams (see Matt. l0:37-3O.
With the call came a great COW

Genesis 1872, 3. That covenant God
repeatedly renewed with Abraham
and his descendants. It has been
partially fulfilled, and God has put
Himself on record that every bit Of
1t shall be completed. He keeps His
promises.
Why did God choose Israel? It
was an act Of His sovereign grace.

earth; (3) that they should be ma.
