PmhyteHan Pastor Think*;
Shows What Christ tan*
Ought To Do
Speaking at the Presbyterian
church last night on the subject of
“Communism and the Church," Rev.
W C. Cummtng. the pastor, called
attention to the fact, that the word
“revolution" is being used by many
people in connection with the future
of this country. He mentioned that
one of the first times that the word
was used in this way was in the last
published article of Woodrow Wilson,
entitled "The Road Away from Re
volution." in which he said that “the
road ahead is darkened by shadows
which portrnd dangers ’ of many
kinds" and went on to say that “it
leads to revolution,"
In disctvwing the possibilities of
revolution, the speaker gave; reasons
why a revolution of the Russian type
!s improbable in this country, and
then gave other reasons why a So
cialist revolution would be far more
likely. He showed how the demand
might arks* for the government to
take over the tobkcco industry, the
public utilities, the railroads, the coal
mines the oil fields, the banking busi
ness and so forth. Bernard Shaw was
quoted as a leading Socialist who does
not advocate a sudden revolution, but
one that is spread over a consider
able period of time, in which the va
rious national industries are succes
sively nationalized. It was pointed out
that in the event that a revolution
comes it would be far better for it
to be purposefully directed and spread
out over a period of time rather than
than a mad and blind revolution that
resulted in nothing but destruction.
In discussing the danger to the
church that might be involved in a
revolution, the preacher pointed out
that Socialism and even Communism
are not in themselves anti-Christian,
or even hostile to the church, but
that these are merely plans by which
thd jfolitical and economic life of
the nation are organized. The hostility
of the Russian government to the
church was shown to be in part a
reaction from the tryanny of the j
Czarist church that was united with
the imperial government. It was
pointed out that the worst feature of
the Russian situation, as far as the 1
church is concerned, is that a church
that does not call itself a church has
gotten control of the government and
is using the government to destroy
•the Christian church and to forbid
its teachings being given to young
people, while at the same time in
culcating in them the principles of
atheism -denying the God of Heaven
at the same time worshiping at the
shrine of a dead Lenin.
In discussing what may be gone in
view of the troubled times that may
lie ahead, it was pointed out that
the best thing is to be true to Christ !
to win others for Him. to pray for j
the government and for those who
are in authority, and to take the part
of good citizens by conscientiously
voting and upholding the han3s of
officers who |are seeking the !*eal
welfare of the people. It was pointed
out. whereas In the past it had been
considered an honor to vote the
straight party ticket, that the time ,
may be at hand when the same thing
will be a dishonor, and that just as
the church belongs to no party, so
as individuals people may find it a i
duty to support issues and men who
stand on the side that has the best
prospect of relieving conditions, with- !
out looking at party standards.
It was further ported out that the
church has stood under empires and
monarchies as well as under repub
lican forms of government, and
should the changes come there Is good '
reason to believe that it will also
stand under a Socialistic governmen
tal organization. In fact the church
has Christ’s word for It that It will
stand to the end.
