AFRICAN REVOLUTIONARY

The Communist aim in South Africa Il 10 pro-

black and white. But a mighty answer Is at work.
P. @. Vndla is great African revolutionary
He led the biggest strike of the African gold mine
workers. The police called him the most dangerous
man in South Africa. He could set 1900 men
marching in less than two hours.
Vundla changed The man who helped him
change was Nico Ferreira, an Ahikaner who had led
the white nationalist Youth League at Pretoria
University. Ferreira accepted the challenge Of Moral
Re-Armament He went to Vundla and said II am
sorry for the pride and domination In people like
me and for the pain and suffering we have caused"
He told Vndla OF his decision to lay down hS kb
to bring South Africa under Gods control
In men like Ferreira, Vmdla saw revolution
FAR more dynamic than his own struggle HeHe was
an ideology that changed men Of all races.
When Vundla committed his life to hght for
this uniting answer he drew the enmity Of some Of
lis own people who were determined not to give
up the race war; He was stabbed and left for dead.
When be came out of the hospital he called mass
meeting Of his people, told them Of bis decision to
be Selhess, incoruptible man. and to fight without
hatred and won them. Today he has bis peoples
support more than ever before.
They have just elected him to represent 100000
Africans in johannesburg for talks with the Minister
Of Native Affairs.

BY unanimous decision the South African Film

Murel Smith, for release to all races. When the film

d.. Buchanan sent message to friend telling
him Of Vundla. He said This is man in possession
Of fundamental truth. This one thing do for
getting those things which are behind press

that is in Christ Jesus Make this reality in the

Frank Buchanan puts it this way:
Now make no mistake. do not say that this

open to misinterpretation by those who wish to
escape it. But it comes as illumination to those who

years ago was divided. just as nations today are
divided. Matenalism was winning its battle in my

That is the third step.
"God is calling men everywhere to be the IN

not by laws, not by resolutions and pious hopes,
but by change.
Change is the heart Of the superior ideology.

This is the new pattern Of freedom for all
nations. Shall it be new Dark Age for the world?
Or shall it be worldwide Renaissance of the moral

Which shall it be? The decision lies in your

A sTEELWORKERs' LEADER

"The roughest, toughest man in the Steel
workers - he could lick any six men" was a col.
leagues description of John Rife, who rose to be
the last Executive e-President of the C1O.
Born in the Kentucky mountains in 1905 the
son Of poor farmer, Rife became a coal miner at
IL Years of poverty and persecution convinced him
that the employer was The mortal enemy of the
workers. Beaten up and lett for dead by goons in
South Carolina he recovered to become zone Of the
five giants of American labor"
But his biggest fight was the battle for the
thinking of America. The Communists offered class
war They were out to foment division in industry.
Rife gave the workers a much greater challenge:
labor led by God can lead the world"
He was friend of Philip Murray, God fearing
President of the Steelworkers, who recognized in
Moral Re-Armament "a call to action against the
diiviSive materialism which is our unseen enemy"
Philip Murray once said to Rife, "John, we will
never have sound union in the mills unless we
have union in the homes"
When John Rife met Frank Buchanan he found
an answer for his own life and home for labor and for
America. He saw that hate-flled men cannot build
a hate-free society, nor selfish men an unselfsh
society. He saw changed men change other men and
bring inspired answers to unemployment, deadlock
and selfish interest. John chose this theology. He
changed, and set pattern for the age.
OF course he met opposition. They tried to
smear him. But he stood firm. Speaking to the
Executive of the CIO in 1853, he said, "You men
know me. You have seen me sitting around all night
in poker games, and then turning up next morning

grey-hared French woman who had taken on her
heart to apologize to these Africans for all that
Europeans had done to their country and continent.
She asked their forgiveness and this was the reply.
During the war Irene Laure was leading
figure of the French Resistance. She hid fugitives.
She diverted trains.
When the occupying forces cut down the food
IN Marseilles so that children went hungry, she
modified 1000 women and marched them In silence
like avenging angels through the streets until the
rationS were restored.
Her son was tortured to force her to disclose
secrets of the Resistance. She refused But her heart
broke and hate took its place. 81 had only one
wish to destroy all Germans" she said.
After the war the people Of Marseilles elected
her overwhelmingly to the National Assembly. She
became Secretary General of the three and half
million Socialist women of France.
She came to the Moral Re-Amament World
Assembly at Caux, Switzerland. The first people
she heard speak from the platform there were Ger
mans. She wanted to leave but in spite Of herself,
she listened.
These were Germans with an ideoIogy They
honestly faced the mistakes of the past. Humbly
they declared their own nations need for change.
For days she wrestled with it in her spirit. Then
she made her choice She mounted the platform and
In brief sentences she, who had been 30 wronged,
asked forgiveness of the Germans for her hatred.
Barriers Of years melted. Irene's husband Vic
COE-4i years NatxlSL, Cra1ne0 Dy Marcel CaCn1n,
dean OF French Communists - returned to the
Catholic Church Of his fathers, which for nearly
half century he had attacked.
Together the LAures, grandparents now, were
married in church which at the time Of their civil
marriage they had refused to do.
They decided to 60 to Germany and begin to
cure the division between the two countries. They
spoke to ten out Of the eleven West German par
Gaments
Over the radio and in hundreds Of meetings
and interviews they healed the hatred which they
had once shared.
Chancellor Adenauer of Germany has said Of
Madame Laure that she has done more than any
other living individual to bring reconciliation be-
tween France and Germany. "Unless the work of
Moral Re-Amament is carried forward" he says,
peace in the world cannot be maintained"

quit whisksy and poker and a lot Of other things
shouldn't have been doing. It's made me honest
and decent and given me happy home. It's made
me do my job with greater responsibility"
After this statement John Rife was elected by
accamation to the post of Executive ViceP President
which he held till the AFL-CIO merger in 1856.
MIRA is answering Communism by changing
Communists" said Rife. He was speaking from
experience.
One day the leader Of an anti-C Communist
union asked him for talk. He found he could
trust John. He got honest about drinking and
trouble in the home Then he told John, 81 am
publicized as an anti Communist, but am still
secretly in the Party. What should do?"
Rife told him about his own change and how
in quiet thought God can show a man what to do.
The local leader decided to get honest with his
wife, quit the drinking and tell his colleagues about
his Communist af6liation.
Today this man, no longer Communist, says,
"Moral Re-Armament is the way up and the way
out for humanity"
Rife knew that the revolution which had
happened in his own life could take place equally
in men of management. "It can begin at the bottom
and 60 up, or it begin at the top and 60 down."
he said. "The important thing is that it begins"
Years later, from his deathbed John Rife told
United States Senator, "You must tell America
that when Frank Buchman changed John Rife be
saved the country 500 million dollars"
When he died the leaders Of six million Japan
ese workers said Of him, I'm John Rife we have

SGT KNOW NOT WHAT COURSE others
l. may take; but as for me, give me liberty
OF give me DEATH" Patrick Henry said that.
As men Of courage chose to stand, q free
nation was born.
Today the life of nations is breaking down.
Riot and rebellion, hell and holocaust are In our
midst An ideology born in Illustration and hatred
challenges the world period of danger mparal-
leled IN human history confronts US. America must
stand and give the answer.
There is an answer It lies IN Americans accept
ing the challenge to live by absolute moral standards
and the guidance of God. An extreme of evil can
only be met by an extreme Of good. A fanatical
following of evil by a passionate pursuit of good.
William Penn put it straight: "Men must
choose to be governed by God or they condemn
themselves to be ruled by tyrants."
We cannot live crooked and think straight.
We cannot keep our mistresses our dishonest deals
orR comforts and still keep our liberty. Our
immortality is Communism's greatest asset Chou
En-lai OF Red China says: 1--WE can slip our Com
nunist theology in through the weak spots in mems
characters"
Lip service to the faith of our fathers cannot
counter an all-out devotion to an evil ideology.
Human brliance that does not obey the guidance
Of God cannot answer human briiance dedicated
to destroy God.
Abraham Lincoln knew the secret Of God.

In an over-ruling Providence, it would be difficult
for me in the midst of such complications Of affairs
to keep my reason IN its seat. am satisfied that
when the Almighty wants me to do or not to do
any particular thing, He finds a way Of letting
me know il"
This is the missing factor in the planning and
the craftsmanship of the world today-a God
centered ideology for democracy.
Moral Re-Armament offers America and the
whole world the superior armament of an ideology
without which armies are out-fought and statesmen
out-thought. Americas great immediate, positive
task is to live and give Moral Re-Armament TO the
empty stomachs with food and empty hearts with
an idea that really satisfies.
Robert Schuman, as Foreign Minister Of
France, IN his foreword to the collected speeches
OF Dr. Frank Buchanan, Remoking the World,
wrote: moral Re-Armament brings us philosophy
OF life applied in action. It is the beginning of
vast transformation of human society which has
already begun. It is not question of change
Of policy; it 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"
"A vast transformation of human society"
That Is Moral Re-Armament. Millions are turning
TO Il, leaders and led in Africa, Asia, Europe and
the Americas. Across the free world an army of
man and women is growing, united in their COM
mitment to live under Gods direction. They present
an impregnable barrier to evil men and evil ideas
and give a sure hope to despairing millions on
both sides Of the Iron Curtain.
As men choose and change, they turn the
course OF history.

AMERICAN SURGEON
IN THE CONGO

group of Africans were talking animatedly
in train near johannesburg They were speaking
about an American surgeon who had stayed on in
the Congo with Moral Re-Armament force after
the outbreak Of the crisis and won the trust Of
the Congolese and their leaders.
The American is DR.. William T. Close of Green
wich, Connecticut formerly the chief resident sur
geon at Roosevelt Hospital, New York Prime Min
lister leo said to him and the force Of Moral Re
Armament: my wish is that you stay long enough
in this country. If not, Communism will come IN
when you 60 out"
The MIRA force has been in the Congo since
May 1860 at the invitation Of the Congolese, hungry
for answer to civil war and Communist takeoveF.
DR.. Close has no economic aid or military
assistance to offer but he has militant commit.
ment to an ideology SO powerful that he wins and
changes Communist and non-Communist alike
When the trouble broke out and the Europeans
fed DR.. Close offered his services without pay IN
the 1000-bed East Leopoldvile Hospital
The hospital was threatened by q strike. One
morning Close was operating on Congolese soldier.
His Congolese medical assistant was a rngleadeH
Of the strike, bitter man. The atmosphere was
tense. Close paused for moment, turned to the
technician and said, 81 was thinking Of you early
this morning." The technician was on his guard
The doctor continued, at is the arrogance and
superiority in white men like me that have created
the bitterness in men like you. am really sorry"
There was long silence. I have never heard q
wAU0 AAA0A VOC "@OAASI OOAO .A0 OSA6~A0cs
Close won the technician and brought new spirit
to the hospital.
Dr.. Close works IA to IS hours day. He fights
for the Congoese leaders to deal drastically with
the evils in their nation as doctor does with his
patients; he shows the MIRA theological films to
the UN and Congolese troops or speaks over the
national radio on the MIRA program, The Answer
to Crisis" which is broadcast twice daily.
One day Congolese leader was secretly Of
fered high position in a new government. It was
clever trick to divide the democratic forces. At
dinner that night DR.. Close told this man how he
had changed and put things right with his wife and
his boss at the New York hospital. The Congolese
leader, moved by Closes honesty, admitted his
ambition was being used to split the government.
He decided to refuse the offer and exposed the
whole plot to the acting Prime Minister.
DR.. Close writes from the Congo, "The Congo
does not want Communism America must not
choose to compromise with the Communists. She
must be blind to her own danger If she follows
a line that will force Communism on to another
country. In the words of an African leader, Moral
Re-Armament is doing for Africa what Abraham
Lincoln did for America. It is binding up the ma
ton's wounds and setting the people free.' Either
we Americans accept to fight the moral battle in
our own country and give moral ideology to other
nations, or we condemn Africa and the world to a
bloody holocaust"
