Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN EAS-
TERN EUROPE by ]. Hutchinson
Cockburn. John Knox Press, Rich
mon1, Va. $3.50. The Chaplain TO
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IT
and former moderator of the Cen
eral Assembly of the Church of
Scotland, discusses the loss of re-
ilglous freedom and the weakness
es OF the modern churches. He he
neVes that freedom will win in the
long run, and that a revitalized
church can out-think and out-live
the Communists. "Marxist Com
munism will In the end break itself
against the dignity of man. And by
me dignity of man, 1 mean the
dignity of man made in the image
OF God, into whom God breathed
the breath of life. That dignity has
been on the one hand blurred and
stained and crippled unspeakablv
by men, and on the other, rein
forced, saved, and glorified by Cod
in Jesus Christ. 1t is in Gods crea-
tiOn and in Christ's teaching and
salvation that men become sacred
persons, persons Of dignity because
God loves them, saves them, and is
even willing to call them His chill
dren."
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT bv
Robert Menzies. Abingdon-Co
bury Press, Nashville. So. Before
his retirement, DR.. Menzies preach
ed thirty-seven years in the pulpit
of the Church of Scotland, Glas-
gov. Here are eighteen sermons in
terpreting the problems of life. The
power of God is offered for victori-
Gus living. There are great forces
in the postwar world that are
working against the Christian way
Of Hfe, and they are not slack in
the prosecution of their aims and
projects. National Socialism is not
dead. Communism has taken the
field like an army with banners.
Democracy is threatened by state
collectivism, and perhaps most
seriously of all by its lukewarmness
toward the only religious faith
which supports it and gives any
guarantee of its continuance. Yet
perhaps the most serious enemy
which threatens the life of society
IS the prevailing secular temper
which invades all sections of socie-
y and which bleaches all the high
n values of life"

Young Republicans
Commended for Zeal

Having been all my life a
member of a militant organi-
Zation, it would be strange in
deed If I should lack satisfac-
ton in a meeting with militant
Republicans-and the young
Republicans have certainly
earned that title. ! assure you
that your zeal, your courage,
your energy in serving our coun-
try through the G. o. P.-ex-
cite my admiration and COM
mand my deepest respect; like
wise my affection.
I therefore welcome this op-
portunity to meet with a Re-
publican group. and particu-
larly to speak to you young
men and women who tomor-
row will be leading this party
and-let me add with conf
dence-leading this Nation.
Some members of the OPP
position party will. of course,
contest this in every way they
can. With vast volumes of an
guished oratory. they will pro-
claim their grief over all we
do.
We must be philosophic and
patient about all this. For this
Sound-and-fury also is a char
acteriStic element in our two
party system. And we must
keep our sense of humor al
ways-for, since time imme-
mortal man has heard no cry
more agonized than that of
the deposed bureaucrat or
the denoted politician.

what beliefs are ruling its
growth and future?
Let me try to answer these
questions as briefly and clearly
as I can.
To summarize something Of
what this administration has
done-in just five months
cite 10 quite specific achieve
ments. These are 10 areas in
which deeds, not promises, tes-
tify to the work done.
First, in the field of foreign
affairs: We have dedicated our
party resolutely to a policy
seeking to strengthen and Sc
cure friendship and co-opera-
ton among all nations loving
freedom and resisting tyranny.
We have recognized that the
power to stay free demands
spiritual strength, economic
siren g tn, and m Military
strength; and the fostering of
all of these is essential to. true
collective security.
We have worked not only to
improve our defense against
threatened Communist aggres-
Sion-not only to eliminate in
the nom Communist world
those conditions that invite the
propaganda of the Communist
but also to encourage strains
and stresses within the ranks
of the 800 millions in the Soviet
world now denied the hopes
and rewards of a free life.
We have-in the five months
we have been in office-been
striving both to perfect this
policy and to make it clearly
understood by our friends
throughout the world. Our
special emissaries have gone,
or shortly will be going, to
almost every section of the
globe. to make plain our single.
simple purpose: Peace and Sc
curity for ourselves and for our
friends everywhere.
It has been in this spirit
that an American Secretary
of State has made-for the
first time in our history
a pilgrimage to an area Of Ut
most Importance to all of us
the Near and Middle East
and South Asia. And. in the
same purpose of good will, my
brother, the president of Penn
sylvania State College, will
soon start on an extended visit
to South America.
