homeliness of the Faith.
Materialists do not have sacra-
mentalS +. they do not bless
nor exercise nor take pleasure
in seeing the ideals they love
attached to small, visible things
which their fingers can touch,
their eyes can see. Even modern
misers do not, normally, enjoy
their vice in a physical form; in
stead of running their greedy
hands through piles of gold, they
cluck their tongues at mount
ing bank statements or at bits of
ticker tape, soon thrown away.
Communists do not even cling to
a red flag, proudly showing it
over their doorways when their
cause is popular, devotedly hid
ing it in some secret creyice
when the Party is forced under
ground.
Men who worship science can
not love to finger rare bits of
geological strata, nor do they
enshrine in their homes replicas
of the Mt. Wilson observatory.
Those who put all their hopes
for mankind in such terrestrial
things as politics or economics
or psychiatry have no familiar
articles associated warmly with
their faith. Let every major re-
ligion of history has used out
ward and visible signs of the
worshipper's devotion TO his
God.
Now, this surely is strange
and curious thing--that the
faiths which do not extend be-
yond this world should show q
scorn of symbols, while the be-
levers, who see this world as a
mere anteroorn To real living,

Will France Help?

the most obvious verities in our
world today: mo definite solu.
ton is conceivable with the So
Wet world except one of two
courses: the annihilation of the
Soviet Union or its conversion"
The first implies general war
and the second presupposes a
Change of heart on the part of
the Soviet leadership or, at least,
& permanent remuneration of the
methods by which the Soviets
have operated for the last 30
years. Only the naive believe
that a five-power conference or
a conference of any sort will
contribute any real solution to
the tension.
Moreover, M. Fontaine draws
attention to another fact that is
often overlooked because of our
refusal to profit from historical
examples. The Soviet Union has
expanded and become strong
solely through var. Never in its
history has it shown the slight
est tendency to depend on what
might be called friendly compe-
titlon for its advancement. The
idea that the two systems can
exist side by side in all normal
ity, each striving to show that it
is superior in the works of arts
OF peace, is not borne out in the
lease by experience. Karl Marx
wrote that to achieve the dicta-
torship of the proletariat it
would be necessary to exper-
fence 10, 20 or so years of civil
war and even general war, be.

munism, "it is not only a prob
lem of changing other systems
but of modifying and adapting
yourselves to the challenge of
pow wer." In word, Marx
re com m n DIS partial or
complete warfare as a form of
tempering those who aspire TO
power-the communist parties
of the world.
The First World War made it
possible for the Soyiets to seize
power. The civil war within Rus.
sia allowed them to consolidate
it. The Second World War
brought about their expansion.
How can it be held that the So
Wet Union loathes war or heSi-
tates at provoking it when every
historical advance made by the
regime has been the result of
war? The victory of Mao Use
Tung in China is the work Of
years of civil struggle, plus the
war against Japan and the world
struggle that accompanied It.
The progress of communism as
an international force is linked
in every instance with war, civil
or general.
To 90 back for a moment to
the question originally posed.
The Fontaine articles seem to
me TO reflect some of the most
lucid thinking / have seen for
long time. II is we'll to real
ize that Frenchmen and British
do not sit about in a sort of daze
totally unaware of the forces
moving about them. The realiza-
tion of what these forces mean
is one thing; the ability to cope
with them is another, especially
when leadership in this domain
has passed into the hands Of the
lisa.

Taking its name from the river
which winds through the localities
which furnish its membership, the
Murderkill Lions Club of Frederick
was organized recently by resi-
dents of Bowers Beach, Magnolia,
Frederick and surrounding rural
areas.
An interesting fact about this
new club is that it was organized
by one man, Col. c. B. Shaffer of
the RehObOth Beach Club. without
the help or assistance of any other
member of the organization.
This is the first time i'm the his
tory Of Delaware Lionism that this
has been accomplished fully bv one
single member.
Colonel Shaffer. native of Will
mington, stated that "he had. as a
child, spent many summers visiting
relatives in the Frederick area. and
felt there was a need for a service
club there"
He predicted that the MurderkilI
club soon would prove its value to
the community, as well as bring
all three localities into closer work
ing efforts for their overall good. ="
The new club, sponsored by the
