CHRIST WAS REVOLUTIONARY “Only diplomacy of the most rev- -olutionary kind, based upon the Sermon of the Mount can counter- act the revolutionary weapon of theé atom bomb. Many of us have forgotten that Christ was a revolu- tionary. Sometimes the world has forgotten this just as woefully and completely as it has forgotten the principles which he taught. “At the time Christ was born, a! moral | much higher standard of ethics existed than there is in the world today, and the prophets of Israel had repeatedly warned their people that if they did not live up to those standards they would be destroyed. Later ‘Jesus epitomized all this teaching and brought forth the highest expression of moral and ethical standards ever given to man in the Sermon on the Mount. “Now, 2,000 years later, in the heart of Christian Europe. where more professed Christians live than any place else on the globe, people have viriually destroyed themselves with a war of their own making. They chose to disregard the teach- ings to which they gave lip-service. WORLD'S END? “In the United States a scientific capsule has been given man which offers the world two distinct and definite alternatives: “l. We can get into another war and sce the globe made into a ball of fire by the hand of man him- self; or “2. We can use practical Christ- ianity to prevent war, .and by har- nessing the energy of the atom, make the world a virtual Garden of Eden. “Perhaps the prophets of Israel have now come back as scientists of the atom to warn us that the end of the world can come, not by 1locd but by fire, “The problem is immediate and urgent. We have to decide now whether we are going to fizht for peace just as vigorously as we fought for war, or whether we are going to drift—which evenually means” another war “We have got to make up our minds whether we are going back to the basic teachings of the man who was born 2,000 years ago and whether we are going to carry them out militantly—as militantly as connoted by the hymn ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers’ HEADING OFF WAR “Congress doesn't seem to realize that the time to head off war is long before it starts.

[think of neglecting his advertising ' {or of hiring poor salesmen to make | tre rounds of his customers. He would go out of business in no |time. But we as a nation fail to apply the same good business prac- tice in regard to the most sacred thing in our possession—the liv |of the next generation. We select | diplomats for political reasons, or| | because they have enough private cash to live abroad on the miserly | salaries we pay them; and we fail to give them an advertising cam- | paign to supplement their work. “This may not sound much like religion. But to me religion is a question of doing, not merely hav-| ing faith. As I understand Christ’s teaching it is a doctrine of going out and administering to others, and if necessary, rowing with the , money-changers and driving them out of the temple. b A SELLING THE IDEA i “Christ was a man who went| out and worked at his religion. He didn’t stay in one place. He didn't hide his candlestick under a bush- el. He battled so hard for his cause of peace on earth, good willl toward men, that evemtually hej sacrificed his life i “He had what he thought was a great idea and he traveled day and night trying to sell it. “Now we in this country have a great form of government and a great basic concept of getting along with our neighbors. And it's time we went out as Christ did and tried to sell our American relig- ion. “We can’t sit passive in big, or- nate houses as most of our am- bassadors do, giving ritzy cocktail parties for upper-crust old ladies and other hasbeens.
