If they would do SD jointly and dramat-
icalIy, they could reinvigOrate the wide
spread religious belief that tyrants have
desperately tried to stamp out; they could
help holster the sagging unity and deter
mination Of free men; and they could
help speed the end Of the nightmare
known as the cold war.
All that isn't easy - and have been as
skeptical as any about talk of spiritual
awakening that will win the cold war without
anybody having to work at it. Yet it is likely
that such Crusade OF All Faiths. if drama
tized around the world by radio. leaflets and

DO you expect to accomplish miracles by
words alone?" Are you trying to persuade
our friends behind the Iron Curtain to revolt
prematurely and thus get themselves killed

The answer is mo" in both cases. Religious
leaders are simply urged to join forces be-
latedly. not in achieving miracles but in help

- to, advised and oounseled by the clergy

is my turn. am momentarily bold enough
to offer some hard advice to religious leaders
- in fact to leaders of all world faiths.
In briefeSt form, the advice is this:
II is time for them to de-empIsasise
their differences and to join in focusing
srOrld attention on the remarkable
amount Of agreement among the fGittas
las opposed to the goddess dogma of world
communism.
Putting it more explicitly: The worlds
great religions are far more unified in
their belief in God, brotherhood and
decency than most Of mankind realizes.
Simply demonstrating and dramatizing
that basic unity can strengthen the con-
fidence and faith Of hundreds Of millions.
Free men and believing men everywhere are
gToping for new sources of strength, conf
dence and hope. Meanwhile, behind the Iron
Curtain. the depraved enemies of all religions
are temporarily off balance. Staln's heirs are
haggling intriguing and vacillating. The time
is here for the worlds great religions to stop
concentrating on their differences, tospotlight
the clear and great principles on which all
agree land which the Kremlin abhors), and
to launch world Crusade Of All Faiths"

Faith" it has been said, lis a contagious
thing" Nothing can beget faith and conf
dence as effectively as seeing it in millions of
ones fellows around the world.
AS practical a man as Owen d. Young gave
support to the idea only few months ago. He
said: "All religious organizations everywhere
i don't care whether they are Mohammed
ans or Buddhists or whatever - who Delleve
in an omnipotent. all-wise Creator should be
working together. :. We should stop arguing
about minor differences over what the next
world is What we need is unification on faith
in great Creator, on sympathy with the
salvation of men in this world
Actually. the task isn't as difficult as it
first sounds:
1 he principles are clear. Ever since the
cold war began, statesmen, thinkers and prop
agandists of many nations have groped for
some sort of new and ringing Greed OF the
Free World" Yet the essence of the creed had
been right under their noses. | realized this
only the other day while thumbing through
voluminous material on the religions of the
world The basic creed consists of clear and
simple beliefs that are shared by all Of the

Rule; the f0therhood Of God

communication had been shut

no one was interested anyway.
Earlier in the day, the con-
fusion started when runners and
pickup men were unable to con-
tact their superiors in the count

the fringe OF the city. With no
assurance that their hackers
were operating, the small fry
took the day off. They were
afraid to take bets on which
they might not be able to pay
off.
Reports circulated that several
well-known numbers men left
