and the greatest military equip
ment. In a moral universe a
major power is a nation in which
freedom and justice take the
place Of servitude and oppres-
sion.
At long last modern history
has come to the proof of the
statement uttered by the hum
ble man of Nazareth, twenty
centuries ago, "They who take
the sword shall perish by the
same"
By the sins of exploitation,
ill-will and a narrow, selfish ma
tionalism armed with the de-
structive weapons produced by
modern science, the nations Of
the world rave, from a negative
point of view, created a most
urgent need for any agency and
a power than can bring peace
to a frightened world. The
Christian church has the oppor-
tunity and the responsibility to
point the way to a just and ever
lasting peace. For this crusade
for peace, young people are
needed all over the world. Asia,
Europe, North America, and, in
fact, every section of the globe
must rally their best minds for
the cause of peace. For we are
living today on the verge of uni
versal destruction and the last
days of mankind upon this
planet, or we are living in mo-
ments of a new moral and spir-
itual revival, when mankind will
learn to seek first the moral
and spiritual values that Jesus
called, "The Kingdom of God"
There are two possible armies
in the world today, the army for
war and human destruction, or
the army for peace and the re-
demption and preservation CT
mankind. Morally and spirit
ually, the nations are not d.
vided between east and west, but
between the forces of human de-
struction and those of human
redemption. The Chr istian
church is on the side of redemp-
ton and must speak the word
of salvation before the present
evening of fear, hatred and an
ticipated war of destruction be-
comes the realized night of
gloom and disaster"
DR.. Jackson was invited to
address the student body by it's
president, DR.. Lam Chi-Fung,
who is also one of the vice
presidents of the Baptist World
Alliance. DIR. Jackson delivered
four addresses during his five
days stay in Hong Kong. The
first was before the executive
board CT the Hong Kong Bap-
fist Union which represents the
Chinese Baptist of this city and
colony. The other three adj

Assembly of the World Council
of Churches.
DR.. and Mrs. ]. H. Jackson
of Chicago arrived in Bangkok
by Pan American Jet Clipper
Friday night, November 10th.
They came directly from Hong
Kong. They were met at the
airport by representatives of the
Erawan Hotel where they are
going to be guests during their
stay in Bangkok. There was
also a representative from the
U. S. Legation there to greet
them but they were conveyed
to their hotel by two mission
aries from the Southern Baptist
Convention. They had heard
that DR.. and Mrs. Jackson were
stopping over in Bangkok and
they came to extend to them
words of welcome and to offer
whatever Christian courtesies
that were within their powers
to give.
The Southern Baptist Conven-
ton has more than forty mis-
sionaries stationed throughout
Thailand. DR.. Jackson and Mrs.
Jackson were taken on a tour
of the city of Bangkok the day
after their arrival. They saw
many of the ancient buildings
and the peculiar work Of art
and had a chance to observe the
people going about their daily
occupations. They visited the
headquarters of the Southern
Baptist Convention and went to
their fine bookstore where the
scriptures and other books are
on sale that have been trans
lated from the English to the
Thai 1anO,1aCo Thov saw the
