Underneath today's spire
there is a pulpit and it is
aflame.' Back of that pulpit
stands one of Americas best
known preachers and most
influential editors-Dr. DAN
lei A. Polling. His fearless
voice is heard gladly in pull
pits across the Nation.
Whenever and wherever he
stands up to preach the pull
pit is aflame. Hear We him!
To-day the supreme world
issue is not peace The SUI
preme world issue is not dis
armament Here and now
the supreme world issue
is freedom. Men have a right
to be free!' When this fact
comes into focus not only
is our determination to
achieve it immeasurably
strengthened but other lesser
objectives fall into tn cir
proper places.
Emery Reeves, author of
The Anatomy of Peace, is
correct when he asserts that
two fallacies confuse world
opinion today. First, the fall
lacy that peace can be Sc
cured by disarmament But
this distinguished Britisher
commits himself to the
greater fallacy, the fallacy
that the supreme issue is
peace 1t is not peace that
is our ultimate objective
peace at any price - it is
freedom.
I'VE do not believe that
the American people agree
with Bertrand Russell-'Bet-
ter Red than dead We be-
lieve that all but unani-
mously the American people
still stand with Patrick
Henry's Give me liberty or
give me death Freedom can
no longer be isolated, it must
be for all if eventually it is
to be at ALL"
DR.. Polling then says: "The
hour has come in the name
of the church to challenge
all America with an idea
that could kindle a flame in
our sophistry and indiffer-
ence that might well become
a world conflagration, burn
ing away the bondage that
presently enSlaves more than
a billion and a half human
beings.
Let freedom take the Of
fensive, an offensive sweep
ing across all continents and
all frontiers. Let us give it a
name-'Americans United for
World Freedom And let us
give it a target date-1976-
the 200th anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of
independence. But, the time
to begin is now. AMI we do
not begin by giving up the
freedom already so dearly
Won"
To these words from a pull
pit aflame we cry amen and
amen! Pulpits aflame from
sea to shining sea can be a
potent factor in this world
crusade.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
PMpits Ahome
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate
any years ago the French

n1dLAy years ago Tile cTe1Cl
man Of letters, De Tocque-
vile, came to the Unite d
States seeking to find the Sc
cret of the Republics great
ness and genius. Returning
to his native land he wrote:
II sought for the strength of
America in her fertile fields
and boundlesS forests, in the
richness of her mines and
vast world commerce. I
sought for her greatness in
her democratic Congress and
her matchless Constitution,
and it was not there. Not
until I went into the churches
Of America and heard her
pulpitS flaming with right
eousneSs did I understand
the secret of her genius and
power"
PulpitS aflame with truth
are the chief strength Of any
people. No wonder tyrants
plot to bride the lips of the
prophets - to bank the fire
Of the pulpitS. Anyone. hold
ing that the pulpit has moth
ing to do with national and
international affairs and
with matters labeled by the
powers-that-be as political"
had better read Albright's
brand new biography of
Phillips Brooks, Americas
pulpit giant. In Philadelphia
and Boston no preacher ever
miniStered with more effec-
tiveneSs to the personal in
ner life of multitudes, and no
prophet had more to say re-
garding the burning public
issues Of the day.
While, Of course, we can
but synpathize with the
preachers of the Eternal
Word who strive to be true
in spite Of Communist fetters
in East Germany, we never
theless glory in the blunt t
pronouncements of Berlin's
evangelical Bishop Otto Di-
belius, whose ''short gray
beard and fierce twinkle" are
second only to the face of
Chancellor Adenauer Himself
as a symbol of resolution
against the East German
Communists. Before he re-
tired, knowing that tn e
Christians in the Communist
zone must be protected with
a measure of canny compro-
mise, he nevertheless thun-
dered, "In the Name of God
and our Lord Jesus Christ I
would like to see the Red
regime disappear" The Red
rulers raved and some cowed
church officials criticized
him - but the bishop said
nothing. He had succeeded
in what he had set out to
do, which was to remin d
Germans of their precious
right to say mo" to goddess
authorities. Pulpits aflame
have done that across the
centuries.
Today our America is in
dire danger, as our leaders
are telling the Nation in no
uncertain tones. 1t is a time
for the pulpit to speak out,
and boldly, as they alert the
republic to its peril. We face
a perfidious foe who, as the
President declared he found
anew in Vienna, in their vo-
cabulary have changed the
meaning Of words. BY "peace"
they always mean their vic
tory; by democracy" they
mean their brand of tyranny.
The motto of pulpits aflame
must ever be. in the words
of the Old Testament: IF
the watchman upon the walls
see the enemy approaching
and give not the ALARM. then
the blood of the people shall
be on the watchman's gar
ments."

Gas Field Shutdown

Plenty of gas is coming in from
other areas, it was pointed out,
and il is the practice to close
down some producing areas dur
