Suppose we put ourselves with the power of our imagination in the United Nations Building and look out the window at this page. The hopes of millions of men for peace in the world are symbolized by this building, and yet looking out the window directly below us we see placards and faces stamped with the hatred of their memories. Looking beyond the boundaries of our own country we see rioting in Ecuador, war in the Congo, war in Laos. Have we put our hopes for peace in the hands of an illusion which we know as the United Nations? Let us look at the facts. The military authority, the U.N. Police Force, is too weak to impose peace on the world by force. But this is not the real tragedy. Composed of nations which are nurtured by conflicting ideologies no one moral code can be universally recognized. Thomas Aquinas, Luther and Kirkegaarde are not com- patible with Karl Marx and Lenin, not to mention the ethical systems of the Far East. ln the place of moral law there has been substituted 'enlightened self-interest' and world moral opinion to fill the void. The result has not been too happy. Should we scrap the United Nations? No! lt is man's only hope for world order and peace, but the U.N. needs help. Let us rally to its aid the great spiritual and religious forces of mankind so sorely needed to supply the moral authority without which it is doomed.

Christian Unity Mast nite All Men In the fight against Communism Throughout history the great religions have been splin- tercd by devisive forces that have weakened them as a great collective moral and spiritual power in world affairs. The pictures on these pages should convince us that the measure of unity necessary for concerted, collective action in the spiritual and moral spheres is not a vain, idle dream. The lrloly Father as the focal point for unity among religious faiths would herald the advent of a new and happier era in manls history. It is not meant that religions are to be melted down and fused into one super-religion, but rather that in retaining their individual identities they are as one in achieving spiritual objectives.
