Spires Of the Spirit
Getting and Giving

To get or to give, that is the question
This month of beginning again Is an
appropriate time to bring each individual
life to the judgment seat of the one
piercing, determinative question: Is my
ruling passion to get, or to give? Is it
self, or is it others? On the answer
hangs fulfillment or Illustration For
men, nations and civilizations the fun
damental law of human life phrased a
thousand times by saints and seers was
stated by Jesus of Nazareth in words
never surpassed. when He declared: If
you undertake to save your life you will
lose it. If you dare to lose your life for
others. you will find it.
George Matheson was looking at that
principle which. like the crimson thread
in the rope of the British Navy, runs
through all life, when he wrote:
Il lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be-"
Still another put that inescapable law
in unforgettable words: Give to the
world the best you have, and the best
will come back to you" The most Gre
ative conception that can dawn upon a
human, finding himself in the midst of
mortal years with their competitive tugs
in various directions, is this: am here
to be something, not to acquire some
thing. am here to give, not to get. If
that is once fully apprehended and ac-
cepted, all actions will fall into master
pattern.
The most pernicious aspect of our
modern day, with its opulent cornucopia
OF riches in terms of gadgets. comforts
and amusements, is the attitude of null
titudes who are continually measuring
their lives by the returns and rewards
made to them by people, by society, by
government. 1t is taking the dread
threat of another holocaust to silence
the lusty cry both from those who have
much and from those who, by compari-
son, have less: Give me! Give mel"
Certainly. in the preSent-day demand
for paternalistic government we have
raised a generation who think much
more of bill of rights than they do
of the bill of responsibilities. But, once
more. We have come upon evil days,

pondering in the advice which Henrik
Ibsen once wrote to a very young friend.
What I chiefly desire for you," said
the dramatist, sis a genuine full
blooded egoism which shall force YOU
for time to regard what concerns
you yourself as the only thing of any
consequence. There is no way in which
you can benefit society more than by
coming the metal you have in yourself" )"
Every great life, including that of the
Master of men, has practiced coming
the metal of self by the habit of daily

miracle has been given its chance to

immortal sentence in the 23d Psalm,

Handling Future Aggression

In the Sunday Star of December 81,
1850, a point of view is expressed in the
editorial THE Strategy of Counter At
tack" that should be clarified in forth
right declaration of foreign policy.
Apropos the proposal that we be
prepared to counterattack "if the Soviet
Union itself decides on open aggressive
war; and that, pending that aggression,
I'VE must assume that righteous peace
may yet oe possible" and that the die
has not been irrevocably cast for war,
The Star logically inquiries as to the point
at which the conclusion will be made that
the die has been so cast.
In view of the realities of the strategy
of Communist armed aggression, we
should at once inform the world of our
intention to completely eradicate such
aggression wherever it appears, and that
if to do so it becomes necessary to
strike at the root Of the aggression,
namely Soviet Russia, then we will take
that step.
1t should be our declared foreign policy
to defend our freedom and help to defend
that of all other free nations by taking
all necessary military steps to put down
aggression If that means pursuing the
eileLly across the OOrQer OF an INVADED
country or bombing across that border,
such military steps will be taken even
If it means invasion of Russia itself.
Coincident with this declaration, total
mobilization should be ordered, and we
should move to cause the expulsion of
Russia from the U. N as the instigator
and abettor of the South Korean
invasion.

The Truman foreign program, involv-

operation with allies who may abandon us
in the time of need. appears to me to be
one with dubious validity. There is
real doubt whether the American people
will back it up for any considerable
length of time. 1t may be that the pro-
gram proposed by Hoover Is more real
istic.
