FOR GOD OR AGAINST GOD

Workers and military find unity in this
ideology Damasio Cardoso, militant dockers'
leader of Rio told all his feow-workers and their
families, 81 pray to God that what happened in
my family will happen to every family in the docks.
We are either for God or against God. The choice
for all of us is MIRA or Communism"
The Catholic priest in the docks, who before
Cardosos change could not enter the quarter where
six hundred dockers and their families lived,
added, "By their fruits We shall know them. MIRA
is tree. You can see its fruit Moral Re-Armament
has become a much more powerful weapon than
any military weapons of Russia or North America.
The most powerful weapon is absolute honesty,
purity, unselfishness and love- l want to declare
here that in me MIRA has friend, admirer and
fellow worker"
That gifted artist, Louis Byles, from Jamaica,
ninety miles from Cuba, speaks for many IN Latin
America and the Caribbean when he says, "We
have very little time left" He starred in that film,
The CrolOning Experience, as the man who plays
the part of convinced Communist captured by
the fire of superior theology. He has just shown
this film to the leadership of his island. Said one
of the government officials, "Ths is not film. It
is God. We must get this out Immediately to
Jamaica. 1t is exactly what we need"
It will take brave men to free, unite and save
the continent of Africa Philip Vundla, who repre-
sents 100000 Africans in johannesburg and was
founder of the gold miners Union, says, There
is great bitterness in our country. South Africa IS
being used to divide East from west on tne oasis
of color but the real issue is not color but char
acter. 1t is not only the white men who have to
change in South Africa. We have to change too.
We need it, and wish everybody to know that"
Vundla chose the theology that brought unity
and rejected division. His choice almost cost him
his life at the hands of extremists, but his stead
fastness has won him the respect of friend and
foe alike.
In Kenya, threatened again by bloodshed and
chaos, the branch secretary of one African party
faced the choice between two ideologies. He said,
81 had an airplane ticket to the Communist con-
ference of African leaders, Instead came to the
Moral Re-Armament Assembly. did not know
there were such people committed to eradicate
hate, fear and sefshness. Our leaders went to the
other conference with a calabash filled with the
waters of freedom. The Communists punctured it,
and our freedom is pouring out. MIRA will seal the
holes so true freedom can be maintained. must
bring the light of this answer to our country in
darkness"

peans to the world Prime Minister de Gasperi,
Prime Minister Schuman and Chancellor Ade-
nauer.
Prime Minister de Gasperi expressed his con-
viction that Moral Re-Armament by going ito the
root of the worlds evils will bring about the under
standing between men and nations for which all
people long,"
Prime Minister Schuman wrote, "What Moral
Re-Armament brings us is a philosophy Of life
applied in action. 1t is not question of change
of policy. 1t is question of changing men. Democ-
racy and her freedoms can be saved only by the
quality of the men who speak in her name"
Chancellor Adenauer knows the value of
Moral Re-Armament. He says it has played "an
invisible but effective part in bridging differences
of opinion between negotiating parties in impor
tant international agreements"
These brave men chose. Now worldwide
army is surging forward on every continent.
Evening star., 1961-06-05

the six pages in the conference edition OF The
LiberiGn Age printed the news of Moral Re-Arma-
ment, underlining the statement that Africa can
be lost in the sinking sands of the materlalsm OF
East and West. Leaders of Africa welcome Moral
Re-Armament because it is the solid ground on
which hate-free, fear-free, greed-free continent
can be built"
President Tubman shares the view of the
Maharajah of Mysore, who said at showing OF
The CrotUning Experience, "The only hope for
mankind is to give no quarter to the powers OF
evil internal or external. Human nature is so con-
stituted that it cannot be taken for granted that
good will automatically prevail over evil IN an
indolent or unnterested world 1t is of the utmost
Importance that we carry on this task of Moral
Re-Armament with ceaseess vigilance. The arma-
ment of morality is invisible, but it is of matchless
power, and its army includes, or should include,
the whole of mankind. Let us all, both individuals
and nations, enroll ourselves in this army.
From Geneva, where the fate of great por-
tons OF the Asian and African continents is being
discussed at the conferences on Laos and Algeria,
Swiss editor spoke over one of Europe's most
powerful radio stations, reaching millions on both
sides of the Iron Curtain. He said, Through all
the confusion caused by many different meeting
places, press rooms delegation headquarters and
pOllce-bodyguards, move the men and women OF
Moral Re-Armament who have come down from
Caux, high above the lake of Geneva, and with
very compelling sense of dedication are making
available to friend and foe alike their Whitsun
message. This, too, speaks of overcoming diff
culties in the meetings of politicians from East
and West and quote Robert Schumans word that
it was only in Caux that he found encouragement
and hope"
The future of Asia may we'll be decided by
which idea wins the Buddhist nations. Leaders
from Japan, Laos, Cambodia, South Wet Nam,
Thailand Burma, Ceylon and India are convinced
that Moral Re-Armament is the theology with the
answer. Buddhism has just been made the state
religion of Burma. Five senior abbots from that
country have come to plan at Caux for the mobiIi-
zation of the Buddhist world in the theological
struggle These revered leaders were seen off at
the Rangoon airport by hundred monks and
senior officials. They have just been received in
Oxford by the heads of two colleges, by the
Mayor of the city, and the President of the Union.
They were shown the rooms in Christ Church,
where this work had it's beginnings forty years
ago.

E0RTY YEARS AGO THIS MONTH there
l. came to Oxford man who had some knowledge
of life, some insight into the ways of East and
West who had spent days with Gandhi in India
and Sun Yat-sen in China. In what is now Kerala
he met an English Bishop who said, "You must go
to oxford. They need the experience you have
found"
During those forty years, the conviction he
brought to Oxford has been live issue, rousing
men and nations through those who have chosen
or rejected his challenge.
1t was an Oxford man, who had been in the
British Parliament for twenty-five years, man
who played part in the Cyprus settlement,
who this week spoke up for this conviction in
public debate. A week before, the head of
college spoke boldly of it in introducing that
great African flm Freedom" to an oxford
audience. These men, and many others, are in
the line of those who in Britain's history have
brought integrity into national life by their
decision. The title of this speech, Brave Men
Choose" is taken from a book by an Oxford man
on this very theme that brave men turn the course
of history.
One such man in Oxford was Professor
Streeter: The message rang clarion call to this
great scholar. 1t challenged him. It touched him.
In Oxford Town Hall, before many members of
the University, he said, 81 have been watching this
work with what diplomatists call benevolent neu-
trality. Tonight have decided. During these last
years havefelt the world situation becoming more
full of depression more full of despair There is
great deal Of goodwill, but there is not enough of
it to solve our tremendous problems war, class
war and economic breakdown" Later he said,
Modern civilization can only be saved by moral
awakening. 1t can happen in Britain. 1t will hap
pen if those who lead Britain learn to find in God
their inspiration and direction. And Britain thus
led would save the world"
II have decided" There is the key.

A REVOLUTIONARY FAITH

Eleven distinguished members of senior Ok
ford paved the way for DR.. Streeter's decision,
among them the Master of Balliol, the Master of
University College, and others who later became
heads of colleges They stood for justice and fair
play for this message. 1t captured a wave of men
in Oxford. Oxford became voice to the world of
a revolutionary faith.
1t was another great Oxford man, the late
Marquis of Salisbury, who speaking in the House
of Lords said, "The cause of the worlds state is
not economic. The cause is moral" He echoed DR..
Streeter's conviction when he said, "If may use
phrase which is common in great movement
taking place at this moment in this country and
elsewhere, what we want are God-guided person.
alities, to make God-guided nationalties, to make
a new world. All other ideas of economic adjust
ment are too small really to touch the center of
the evil"
He, too, decided, and to his home invited this
man to meet with the leaders of British life to see
how they could untedly give moral and spiritual
leadership to a world on the brink of collapse.
Under the Hatfield trees he walked with friends
old and new, among them Lord Lytton, who was
later to say that that walk had left an indelible
mark on his life
In East London, in the cradle of the British
Labor movement, where Moral Re-Armament was
launched, there were also brave men who chose
There was Tod Sloan, Keir Harde's fellow fighter
from the docks. He wrote, "Chaos cannot obtain if
we work, live and practice Moral Re-Armament.
1t is really laughing, living, loving obedient will
ngness to restore God to leadership. This to me is
the only revolution that matters the change of
human nature-and it does happen"
There was Ben Tillett, pioneer of the dockers'
unions across the world. From his death bed he
sent this word, "Tell Frank Buchanan to go on
fighting You have great international movement.
Use it. 1t is the hope of tomorrow. 1t will bring
sanity back to the world"
The Earl of Athlone, who first met this mes
sage in 1929 when he was Governor General of
South Africa, speaking in radio broadcast to the
British Commonwealth in the early days of the
war, said: "The call for Moral Re-Armament has
encircled the world and become source of fresh
hope to millions of men and women. Heads of
states, national civic and industrial leaders of all
classes creeds and parties have welcomed it the
cure for that deep disease of the spirit from which
civilization is suffering.
"Moral Re-Armament stands for a change of
heart for that new spirit which must animate all
human relationships 1t calls us to make the will
of God the guiding force, for individuals, so for
homes and nations"
AS the theological struggle intensified across
the world growing multitude caught the fire of
these pioneers. For only men ablaze for the right
can ever hope today to win men who burn for the
wrong. "Fire from Heaven" that is how Don
Sturzo, patriot-priest of Italy, described Moral
Re-Armament in a message sent to the world as
sembly on Mackinac Island. His thinking inspired
the Christian Democrat parties of Italy, France
and Germany, which have given three great Euro

"The owner of a national newspaper said to
me, Many of us have lost faith. We have regalned
it again through MIRA The president of the
largest newspaper of Latin America said MIRA is
not only an idea on the march, 1t is force on the
march. Our newspaper is at your disposal Every
one must be reached with this idea
"The inescapable choice for Latin America"
concludes General Bethlem, "is Moral Re-Arma-
ment or Communism. We will never succeed in
this fight unless we change men. We are out to
clean up the nation and the world have COM
mitted my whole life to this fight"
General Carpenter of France, servant of his
country in many campaigns and former Comman-
der-in-C Chief of the Central European Ground
Forces of NATO, who flew to Brazil to join this
force, spoke to a vast audience in Rio de Janeiro
"From the heart of the best men" he said, must
come this tremendous wave of Moral Re-Arma-
ment which will win over Communism. In this
theological war we must confront Communism
with another ideology-that ideology is MIRA. It
is because am convinced of that that l am here
to conduct war.
'We need tactics strategy and means. Some
people think that strategy can come from meet
ing of men who are responsible in the political field
but do not believe it. l have read in the news
papers for the last ten years accounts of men who
meet in Washington, Paris and other great coun-
tries. But it is from all free men who fight for
Moral Re-Armament that the answer will come"

CONDITIONS OF SURVIVAL

This is the word of a man on his eighty third
birthday who has spent a long life up and down
the world meeting and knowing men, who in 1915
paid the first of eight visits to Japan and there
the guest of those who laid the foundation of mod
ern Japanese finance and industry, Baron Sakatani
and Viscount Shibusawa, whose grandson, min
lister of finance, his great-grandson, and even his
great-great- grandson, are working with this force
today They come with former Prime Minister
Kishi and other leading Japanese to CauX this
mer to forge unity of craftsmanship among the
free nations. They carry forward the work of
which General Ho Ying-chin, former Prime Min
lister of China, says, "More unity has been created
between the nations of Asia at one Moral Re-
Armament assembly in the Philippines than in
ten years of postwar diplomatic activity"
1t is the word of man who has known the
personal friendship of Viceroys and Governors of
India and of the men who opposed them, and
brought them together; who knows the problems
of Africa at first hand since 1929 and these states
men of Europe and the Americas for more than
fifty years. He has seen the development of two
materialist ideoogies and the devastation of two
world wars, the retreat of freedom, and now the
advance of mighty answer.
We are facing world revolution. There are
only three possibilities open to us. We can give in,
and some are ready to do just that Or we can fight
it out, and that means the risk of global suicide.
Or we can find a superior theology that shows the
next step ahead for the Communist and the nom
Communist world alike. What we shall never do
effectively is to patch things up by pretending that
basic differences do not exist or do not matter;
nor by supposng that an theological challenge can
be met by economic, political or military means
alone Absolute moral standards are not just ques-
tions of individual conduct today. They are the
conditions of national survival. We need to scour
out the dirt in national life our political life,
economic life, school life and our home life
through change in men. Wherever men give man
the place in their lives that God alone should have,
slavery has begun "Men must choose to be gov
erned by God, or they condemn themselves to be
ruled by tyrants."
There is no neutrality in the battle between
good and evil No nation can be saved on the cheap
1t will take the best of our lives and the flower of
our nations to humanity. If we go all-out for
God we will win.
"Then 1t is the brave man chooses,
While the cos0urd stands aside.
TILL the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had Denied"

COMMUNISM CONFRONTED

General Bethlem, describing in the press the
impact of this force writes, "For the first time on
this continent Communism has been confronted
with positive alternative and for the first time
it is being made to retreat have found real
revolution in MIRA. We Brazilians are being chal-
lenged to give this to Communists, non-Commu-
nists and anti Communists alike. Many of us have
been confused through our moral compromise.
have found clarity through change. We need to
wake up. The theological war is already here.
Which way Brazil goes, so goes Latin America. The
situation is deadly serious. A former Minister of
Foreign Affairs told me, Cuba has brought us to
the brink of war. MIRA may be the last hope. If
Brazil gets it the world will get it.. The Minister
of War said, we will do everything we can to
make Brazil the capital of the answer. You have
the winning idea in MIRA
"In the Catholic University of Sac Paulo
where it stated eighty percent of the students
were pro-Castro, one professor-priest said, Since
you have given your films and plays and held an
assembly in our university there have been no
political demonstrations. Moral Re-Armament is
being talked about everywhere
"a missionary monk, who had come down
from North Brazil where the Communists are
training small armies and guerilla bands in the
hills, said Brazil is just like Spain was before the
Civil War. Can you fill my truck full of your ltera-
