Dictator-Proof
Production of essential war ma-
terials in the United States grew
several months ago to a point where
the daily output of the United Na-
tions exceeded that of the Axis pow-
ers. Graduallv since then good news
from fighting 1 rents has come with
more frequency: setbacks have been
less often. No longer is America
fighting a losing fight, although no
one predicts a sudden and smashing
victory.
Nevertheless there is hope that
peace will come to the world again,
and all except a negligible few hope
it will be soon. Pledges, made by
the Earth’s most powerful leaders,
that peace will bring victory to
America and her Allies, are backed
by men, materials and machim ry
as well as determination. Now the
best of all things possible in the
world seem to await only the bells
and whistles which ultimately will
proclaim an armistice.
Complicated Years
It will b<? a joyful sound but as
certainly as it proclaims an end
of carnage it will also announce the
beginning of another struggle, an
undertaking to make peace perma-
nent. Many big questions will de-
mand answers, such as: Will cap-
italistic Britain pr communistic
Russia dominate Europe, and who,
will help them decide? Ar. 1 all these
questions will bespeak humanity’s
highest hope; hope that no more
military maniacs can take posses-
sion of powerful peoples (as Hitler
grabbed Germany ten years ago)
ang jgb ji vtjvole generation of its
rightful peace and progress, and
centuries of accumulated wealth.
Here is how it happened: Hitler
had no right to rule Germany but
there Was nobody to stop him. As a
political demagogue he had gained
some following. The German people
were hungry. For three sad years
they had endured unemployment
and starvation. It took no brains to
guess what they wanted. Hitler of-
fered them jobs and bread; subsist-
ence in return for work—much
work.
They Fell in Line
With what they believed was “all
to gain and nothing to lose,” the
Germans followed Hitler, followed
him headlong into what they did
not want, the most pitiless war of
aggression ever known. Will it hap-
pen again? Hitlerism, to be sure,
can hardly last, but power-madness
anil not vanish from the earth with
Hitler. Grasping men will always
scheme for power. How can the
world's right-thinking people keep
from getting it? -
Examine records of the past to
learn bow despots work and you will
see one glaring similarity. Dicta-
tors climb to power over wreckage:
wrecked lives, wrecked fortunes,
blasted hopes. All men have inalien-
able rights to “life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness,” and they do
not sell their privileges to work and
vote and worship God. Only extor-
tion takes it from them. When men
are doing even fairly well, they hold
an to their freedom. They turn it
loose only in dire calamity, when
their children are weeping for bread.
Safety fat Prosperity
In a very real sense, prosperity
protects human liberty. No Hitler
can hypnotize and enslave a pros-
perous nation. People who are eco-
nomically independent are dictator-
proof. With full employment for la-
bor and consequent high prices for
farm products, with factories busy J
turning out marketable things for
peace-loving customers, totalitarian
rule is impossible, call it Regimen-
tation or what-not.
"Certainly dictatorship is unlikely
in America,” somebody will say,
"but what has that to do with per-
manent peace? We are in war now
on account of dictatorships in Eu-
rope. How can we stop it over
there?" . . . That’* a fair question
and fortunately it has an answer:
Prosperity in Europe depends on
prosperity in America. We have
only 6 percent of the world’s popu-
lation. nevertheless, the world pros-
pers when we prosper.
Uncle Sam, Bayer
In normal years the United States
turns out 40 percent of all the usable
things manufactured. In order to
do this, factories of the United
States utilize 40 percent of the
world's output of raw materials. Un-
cle Sam is Mother Earth's big cus-
tomer. Prosperity follows the Amer-
ican buyer to the four winds. Trou-
bles in Germany over which Hitler
climbed to power resulted in part
from America’s big depression that
started in 1929. The most important
step toward a lasting world peace is
prosperity in America.
The brightest spot in world politics
today is the fact that business lead-
en in the United States are making
plans for full employment through
private enterprise, starting with the
armistice; and full employment
means plenty of buyers and lively
markets for farm products. It was
private enterprise that made Uncle
Sam rich enough to be the world's
best customer. Private enterprise
made America the bountiful source
of world prosperity. Some seek to
destroy it, only that they may climb
to power over its ruins. Be as-
sured, however, if it is destroyed,
our unique prosperity goes with it.

What an opportunity for the
preacher and his fellow worker,
John. How did they meet it? By
faithfully declaring the need of re-
pentance and faith, and then of fel-
lowship with others in the Church.
One mark of a real leader for God
will always be that he preaches and
teaches the message of God without
adulteration, without modification,
and with plainness and simplicity.
The kind of leadership which is
often magnified in the Church today
and which is largely made up of
personal magnetism, “pep” and fast
talk, is not real leadership at all.
Test your leaders by their faithful
and intelligent declaration of God’s-
Word.
U. Conveying God’s Power (Acts
3:1-8). j
“Channels only”—that is the func-
tion of the worker for Christ, the
leader in His Church. As Mary
Maxwell well put it:
Channels only, blessed Master.
But with all Thy wondrous power
Flowing through us. Thou canst use us
Every day and every hour.
Silver and gold was a scarce com-
modity with Peter and John, as it
has been with many, yes most, of
God’s servants through the centu-
ries. But they did have the blessed
privilege of being channels through
which the healing, cleansing, re-
deeming power of God could flow—
and that was infinitely better.
The lame man had long since
given up hope of anything better
than the few coins he could beg at
the temple gate. He was like many
in our hard and practical age who
see only the values that money can
give, and thus miss the real blessing
of God.
God has for men today, as He had
for this beggar, that which is far
better than gold—deliverance from
sin and liberation from the limita-
tions of spirit which make-them con-
tent with the paltry alms of men.
Peter and John were ready to be
used of God because they were men
who were not too busy to pray
(v. 1). Knowing the compassion of
God they sought out the one in need,
and by faith put the unlimited power
of God to work on his behalf.

what is more important. He healed j -

Church who tell us that w-e must not I

salvation in all religions, had bet-

Because they had preached Christ,
and for no other reason, they were
imprisoned, then released on condi-
