Saint Louis, Missouri
Sainl Louis, Missouri, December 29 (Special) Nineteen
Forty-Six, our first entirely warless year since Pearl Harbor,
has shown disastrously how futile and dangerous a man
made, leave-God-out-of-it peace must be, Dr. Walter A. Maier
professor of Concordia Theological Seminary, declared today
in a special, review-of-the-year broadcast of the International
Lutheran Hour. He predicted that unless there is wide
spread spiritual awakening to the necessity of divine blessing
the world will see not the four freedoms, but the Four Hoirse
men of the Apocalypse: invasion, war, famine, death.
Leading scientists, Dr. Maier declared, have come to re
cognize the vital importance of religion in the new atomic
age. He quoted Dr. Louis Ridenour, professor of physics
at the University of Pensylvania, who said: “Religious lead
ers can do more for the control of atomic energy than any
other agency.”
In connection with the atomic bomb Dr. Maier recalled,
soon after Nagaski and Hiroshima, he pleaded for the des
truction of all atomic bofmbs and atomic munitions plants.
Tiiis proposal was ridiculed. Now, he stated, that Dr. Nobel
Prize winner, has asked the United States to “forget all we
knew about atomic bombs, destroy the plants that make
them, and permit other nations to inspect the wreckage.”
Mere religion, the radio speaker insisted, will not drastic
allv check human nature in its use of widespread destruction
—the call of the hour is for rededication to the principles of
love enunciated and practiced by Jesus Christ, the Son of
God.
The greatest failure of the past year, Dr. Maier concluded,
has been the widespread refusal to bring peace to the nations
by bringing them Christ.

THE COMMON
DEFENSE
—By Rev. WTIliam C. Ktrnaw
A plot Against Christianity
And Americans
Attorney-General Eugene Cook
of Georgia did his sountry a mem
| orable service on December 10th
j when he officially reported to Gov.
Arnall that the Columbians, Inc.,
an anti.Negro and anti-Jewish or
ganization was seeking to esta
; blisii a Nazi-like government in
America. The report was based on
numerous records taken from the
Columbians and affidavits sworn
to by the two former members of
it.
The data now in Governor Ar
nall’s hands accuses the Colum
bians of plotting the intimidation
and injury of people belonging to
certain religious and racial groups
Negroes in the South, Jews in big
cities, Mexicans in the Southwest
and Orientals on the West Coast
of possessing a list of ten ‘ene
mies” to be “beaten up or lynched’
amonp them Ralph McGill, editor
of the ATLANTA CONSTITU
TION, Dan Duke, Assistant At
torney General, and Representa
tive Helen Dorplas Mankin of
Georgia, .of conspiring to have in
nocent citizens arrested on false
charges.. of assembling a private
arsenal of deadly weapons.. bomb
ing a home in Atlanta.. of cor.
ruptly influencing minors to in
cite the commission of crimes.
Those who remember how Hit
ler got his start by using terror
ism and hate will recognize that
the the Columbians have taken a
leaf out of his book. But the Nazi
pattern becomes even clearer
when it is learned from one of
the former Columbians, James
Ralph Childers, that when they
have succeeded in getting rid of j
the Negroes and the Jews, people |
of other races and religions would i
be atacked. Of special interest to |
Christians is the disclosure that
the Columbians are saying noth,
ing against Christianity now be
cause they 'can’t afford to’ but
that once the Negroes and Jews
are run out the campaign against
Christianity will begin. ,
The conclusions to be drawn
from this pernicious plot are im
portant:
1. Like all Nazis these Colum
bians hate humanity, .not just 1
group of human beings. Hitler
built his following by arousing
hatred against the Jews and then
used his assembled strength to
destroy the rights of everyone else
he could reach. The Jews suffer
first. We all suffer afterwards.
2. Those who, by thought, word
or deed, encourage racial and re
ligious prejudice against Protes
tants, Catholjcx Jews, Negroes,
or any other group thus providing
the kindling with which organiz
ed bigots can build the fire that
may consume the freedom of us
aH. %
3. Now as never before, every
Christian who loves his religion
and every American who values
his country must enter the battle
against racial and religious hate.
All Americans must first cleanse
their own hearts of this poison
and then enlist for the duration
in the war against hate, bigotry,
and prejudice.

MEMORY SELECTION—I am dcbh
both to the Gree: s and to the barbc ans
both to the \v;se and the unu-.se.
Komans 1:14.
The gospel is for the whole worh
Gcd wants all men to hear at d com •
to repentance (John 3:16; II Pc
3:9).
For the establishment of the gr°r
missionary program with its world
wide sweep, he called a man nif*
ed, prepared and anointed for the
work, namely Paul, whose life an
ministrv nave been our interestii:
portu» these three months.
NjW we find him at the ver>
center of the then known world to
claim it for Christ. Politically, com
mercially, socially and religiously
Rome was the very heart of th<
known world which centered around
the Mediterranean sea (the nami
of which means "the middle of tht
earth”).
Having preached almost even
where else. Paul had a longing ti
face heathendom at its very centei
and claim trophies for Christ and
the gospel.
Our Scriptures present:
I. God’s Plan and Man’s Purpos”
(Acts 9:15; 19:21).
Choice involves the thought of se
lection because of certain qualities
or abilities. The Lord had prepared
Paul for just this ministry, and no*
he chose him to carry it out. Thai
encourages us to believe that God is
leading in the experiences of our
lives, preparing us for the day when
he will call and use us. Let us be
yielded and ready.
Our second Scripture (Acts 19:21'
tells us that the plan of God was
put into operation by the purpose ir
Paul’s heart. God does not have
to depend on man to do his work,
but he does just that! We may hin
der his full use of us if we fail to
purpose in our spirit to do his will,
as Paul did. God wanted Paul in
Rome. That was his plan, and that
was the purpose of Paul's heart.
II. God’s Confirmation and Man’s
Determination (Acts 23:11; Rom. 1:
13-16; 15:22-24).
Man needs to have his good pur
poses confirmed by the Lord, and
so it W'as in the case of Paul. He
bad been taken prisoner for the gos
pel's sake. His trial had resulted
in an uproar. Things did not look
too promising for him. Humanly
speaking, there was a questior
whether he would get anywhere, lei
alone to Rome.
In man’s hour of discourage
ment God stands by with a good
word. “Be of good cheer,” he tells
Paul; “as thou hast testified of j
me in Jerusalem so must thou bear |
witness also at Rome.”
In his letter to the Romans, Pnu.
expresses his determination to come
to them. There were hindrances
there was a contemplated trip to
3pa*n (which he probably did noi
make), but in spite of all these
things he would come in due time.
The reason for that determinatioi
. tremendously interesting and per
cent to our own lives. He saw
limse'f to be a debtor. The gospel
bad been committed to him, not as
a deposit for his own good oi
pleasure, but as something ht
nust give out to everyone who hac
\ot heard, including Rome.
We, too. who know cnrist are lx.
ebt to a world which has not heard
f him. That includes the cultured,
whom we often forget, and the un
cultured. the men of every race—
•veryone who has need of a Saviour
The tremendous urge which
noved Paul should be characteristic
f every believer. Think what i
vould mean for the evangelization
f the world if every Christian said
As much as in me is, I am reads
o preach the gospel” (v. 15).
ill. God’s Salvation and Man's
teelaration (Acis 23:23-3i)
A slight ch; ;n the arrange
oent of our ures brings us
o our cnncluriin . thought. God hao
ent salvation to the Gentiles and
hey would hear it iv 28). even it
•ie preacher had to come as a pris
tier, for Paul came thus to Rome
How wonderfully God arranged it
11, for Paul was given the pnvi
ee. even as a prisoner, of living
ir two years under guard in a pn
ate house. Here he won his guards
o Christ, many members of Cae
:i r’s official household <Phil 4 - 22

e preached and taught, “no ma;

f salvation which God has sent
nighty things are wrought fnr th>

It is just that which we should b<

ence during the new year jus
