to the union. II contrary to his
own personal political opinion,
part of the money he pays in
dues or compulsory assessments
is used to back a political can
didate or a party, then unques-
tionably, he is deprived of his
right to follow his own political
preferences if he wishes to keep
his job.
If he refuses to pay dues or
assessments because he doesn't
approve of the candidate or the
cause for which the union spends
his money, he is ousted from the
union. And if he is booted out Of
the union, his employer has no
choice but to fire him
OF course, the PAC argues that
as money can only be given to
it by a union local after approval
of the vote by the locals mem
bership, the process is wholly
democratic. This is not a valid
argument. While it is true that
there is a democratic form obser-
we'd, it produces an undeno-
cratic result. 1t is inevitable that
there are always certain minority
individuals who are not at
liberty to follow their personal
political inclinations, that is,
unless they are willing to stop
eating.
This nation is a Republic and
in republic the rights of min
critics must be maintained 1t
is contrary to good principle in
a republic to deprive a union
member of his right to decide
whether or not he wishes to
help finance the PAC, or any
other political organization.
In this Bill which IS before
the Michigan legislature, there is
a principle involved that not only
concerns the people Of Michigan
but the citizens of all 48 states
II is a sound, just and democratic
principle. 1t would guarantee po-
litical freedom to a vast segment
of our citizens, and without po-
litical freedom for all Americans,
this nation cannot long survive
This Bill may not pass the
Michigan Legislature at this
time, or if it passes, it may fall
prey to a governors veto In
either unhappy event, it is to be
hoped that freedom-loving citi-
zens of the Wolverine State will
keep the issue alive by continu-
ing to press for legislation that
will prohibit forced political

President, Spiritual Mobilization
Why do thoughtful religious
leaders persist in comparing
Soviet Communism with Chris
tianity?
Dean James A. Pike, of the
Cathedral Of ST. John the Divine
in New York City, is the latest
victim of this fallacy to come to
my attention.
In a recent address before a
convention of the New York
State YMCA, Dean Pike re-
portedly said that Communism
is a kind of religion that ''we
don't quite know how to handle. J"
And he added, according to news
accounts, Communists stole our
stuff" but in doing so made
it earthbound." !"
What stuff did Communism
steal from Christianity?
The sooner we realize that
Communism is a complete anti
thesis of Christianity, the soon
er we shall know how to handle
it."
There is no forced sharing, no
forced labor, no class antagon-
ism, and no political interference
with economic affairs, as such,
in Christianity. And / challenge
anyone to prove that there is.
The Christian concept of govern
ment is that it is to be mot a
terror to good works but to the
evil" And everything that l have
ever seen or heard regarding
Soviet Communism leads me to.

/ ians were out of adjustment in
their relation to one another
They needed a spiritual doctor,
Ephesians All, 12 and Is tells
us that God has given ministers
to the church for that very
reason. Sometimes the manipula-
tions are painful and not pleas
ant, but when properly done the
result is a harmonious relation
ship among the members of the
body" Each member will be
better able to do his particular
work more efficiently. In Gala
tians 81 the word restore" has
the same meaning. Such perfec-
ton is attained by training, dis
cipline and instruction.
In Revelation 80 we have the
word which means TO make
replete complete, abounding) )"
tlevel-up,' "full." 1t gives the
idea of being sufficient, meeting
the requirements. The members
of the church at Sardis were be-
ing rebuked because they had
become too easily satisfied; they
were not willing to go further
in their experience of their Serv-
ice for the Lord. The Christian
faith is not a rocking chair reli-
gion. 1t demands activity - the
proper kind of activity. 1t means
a life of prayer and devotion to
God, which in turn should result
in a clean, honest, moral life
with a real concern for the
physical and spiritual and mater
ial welfare of others.
In Hebrews 81 Paul is think
ing of maturity where we read
"1et us go on unto perfection"
There are certain truths that one
needs to know for salvation and
the beginning of the Christian
life. But the Christian is expect
ed to grow ain grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ" Tn Col
ossians 3:5-14 Paul gives the
formula for Christian maturity.
In verse ST the Christian must
become dead to the flesh In
verses 8, 8 the sins of disposition
are listed. There must be a dis
robing of the personality. Then
the individual must be adorned
with what God has provided,
verses 1914. Evidence of
maturity as a Christian is seen
in how one thinks, talks and
acts. We cannot measure our
selves by what someone else may
be doing or not doing. Gods
Word must be our standard.
Therefore we must take Gods
Word and measure ourselves ac-
cordingly. The mature Christian
will know by experience what is
expressed in I John 2:5: All, 18;
James 2:22; 80. One more
thought concerning Christian
maturity. 1t is developed through
lessons in patience (James 1:4).
There is no shortcut to maturity.
We have seen that a perfect
Christian is one who has an
accurate knowledge of the
Scriptures. especially concern
ing the life and work of Jesus
Christ; he is a student of the
Scriptures; he is living a con-
sistent Christian life and is in
harmony with other Christians.
He is also mature in his speech
and actions.

The Perfect Chrisfian


There are five words in the
original writings of the New
Testament that are translated by
the one English word perfect
We would like to consider the
various passages in which these
words are found. They should
prove thought-provoking as well
as a blessing to every Christian.
If the reader is not a Christian,
I trust that the Holy Spirit will
be able to use this article to
draw you to Jesus Christ.
May / suggest that the reader
please take time to read each
Scripture reference for himself.
I would like to quote each one,
but space is limited,
Our first reference is found in
Luke /, verse 3. There the word
for perfect means exact, !"
accurate" Here we see that it
has reference to understanding
or knowledge. Luke wrote the
record of the life of Christ
which is known as "The Gospel
According to Luke" as we'll as
"The Acts of the Apostles" He
is telling us that what he wrote
was based on a careful study of
facts. Time has proven that Luke
had more facts at his command
than the secular historians since
that time. So the Christian is
encouraged in his faith, knowing
that the New Testament is not
fables nor fairy tales. It is an
exact, accurate statement Of that
which was actually said and
done.
Now we will turn to II Tim
othy 3:l7. Read verse is along
with it. AS one reads the New
Testament he is made to realize
that the Christian is to be en-
gagged in "good works." works
that glorify God. Here we see
that God has given the Scrip
lures by inspiration. They are
profitable for doctrine, reproof,
correction, for instruction in
righteousness: that the man Of
God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.
Here the word perfect means
fitted" complete" properly
equipped" The Christian has
work to do. He must give him
self to that work. But no person
would intentionally go to work
without the proper tools. The
Christians work is in the spirit
ual realm, SO God has provided
the equipment which is neces-
sary for him. He is expected to
use that equipment wisely and
profitably. So if a Christian is
to be properly equipped, he must
first be a student of Gods Word.
That means EVERY Christian,
not just the pastor or the Sun
day school teacher.
In II Corinthians 1879 the
Apostle Paul expresses his desire
concerning the perfection of his
readers. The Corinthian Christ
ians had not been living CON
sistently as Christians. Divisions,
strife, immortality, false teach
ing had existed in that church.
Paul had endeavoured to cor
rect that situation. Then as he
closes this second letter to that
church, he said, This also we
wish, even your perfection"
Here the word means mend"
strengthen" restore" adjust
ment," make one what he
ought to be-" The correct rela-
ton among Christian is summed
up in II Corinthians 1871 and
I Corinthians ITO. These Christ
