United States Firm On Condemning Reds Ignores Protests From Guatemala CARACAS, Venezuela UP — The United States stood firm today behind its demand for a clear-cut condemnation of communism in the Western hemisphere, ignoring protests from Red-influenced Guatemala and “counsels of despair” from Argentina and Mexico. All three Latin American nations contend the U; S. resolution now awaiting action by the 10th interAmerican conference here might be used as a pretext for American "intervention” in the affairs of nations south of the border. Guatemala has flatly rejected the U. S. plan, and Argentina and Mexico favor amendment of the resolution. Secretary of state John Foster Dulles made it clear Thursday that the United States will not willingly accept any compromise In its efforts to get the nations of the hemisphere clearly on record against communism. Dulles said Moscow's Red agents must be solemnly warned “to keep their hands off 'the hemisphere.” He said the United States is willing to add clauses to its resolution guaranteeing the right of every Latin American nation to choose .ts own political, economic, social and cultural system. The secretary of state added, however, that other amendments sought by Mexico and supported in general by Argentina are “vague, obscure, legalistic, unthinkable, unacceptable” and designed to produce action only after “one of our American republics is made a puppet of international communism.” y,.. . , Wk WURr h«r-‘ Br Ml

Three Ifs Lesson for March 14, 1954 THERE are important Ifs in the Christian life. The word IF keeps coming up all through the Bible. This does not mean that the Christian life is based on uncertainties. It does mean, however, i that there is nothing automatic about it. At an ■ES7HM “Automat” restaurant you can put -‘Mf coins in the slot ’ and watch pie, MHhf sandwiches, coffee W J ' or what-will-you-have, come out of the wall. But the life of the Christian is not like that You can’t put Dr. Foreman in a pious wish, or a short prayer, like a dime, in the morning and then expect the rest of the day to pour out all the virtues without your having to do another thing. Important conditions have to be met • • • "If it Dies" Many Ifs of the Bible can well be expressed in the words “Only when . . ." Three times Jesus used that fateful word in the hours when he was face to face with his destiny, when he was facing the Cross. These Ifs had to do with himself, they also had to do with his friends. Not only his friends there and then, but now and here,—in short, with every Christian. One of these Ifs is in his saying about the grain of wheat. Save the grain, cover it with protective varnish, keep it in a tin box, put it in a bank vault,—you may save the grain but you will destroy its life, there will be no other grains. Put the grain of wheat in the ground where it can rot, and in a few weeks that grain will be gone, it will have died; but where it died there will be a green blade growing. a blade that one day will be a wheat stalk bearing many grains. If — only when — there is "'death can there "Be life. Jesus' meant that for himself; if he had refused the cross he would not have been the “Prince of Life” and saviour. He meant it iqr us; tnose persons who mean most in the lives of others, those vital personalities who by a kind of bright contagion bring vitality wherever they go,—those ire the very persons who are least careful for their own selves. Wherever people are scrambling every man for himself, there you have strife and destruction. • • • "If Any One Serves Me—" Another If is in the saying, *lf any one serves me. he must follow me.”* Jesus did not mean follow at a long and respectful distance. He meant to climb where he climbed, dare what he dared. Jesus had put this in even stronger words some time before. His follower, he said, must take his own cross every day and follow Him. Christians are rather too fond of looking at the cross, and letting their Christianity go at that. But the Christian life is not like looking at a show, not even at a tragedy. We see the cross in every Christian church Somewhere, perhaps even the building is in the shape of a cross. But what Jesus asked for in his followers was not a cross before their eyes but a cross in their lives. To put it quite simply: Christian life, when it is real, is a life of sacrifice for others. It is a life in which self comes last, not first. A doctor said to his patient: “I think most people are Christians, don’t you?” That depends on what you mean by Christian! If you meah Bjf that, some admires Jesus, yes, most people are Christians. But if you mean what Jesus meant one who actually follows Jesus, how many Christians are Christian? • • • "If I Be Lifted Up" — The third If is in the saying “If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me.” We may suppose a hardboiled practical man of today, or of Jesus’ day,—possibly Judas was such a person—asking Jesus, Just why do you go on with this idea of the cross? Why let yourself in for trouble? What do you get out of it? If we let Jesus speak for himself, we know that he no more went to the cross to “get something out of it” for himself than he did anything else for selfish reasons. He did not live, he did not die, for his own benefit. His life and his death were all of one piece; his death was but the final outpouring of a life that had been pouring itself out into others and for others, from the beginning. He did not go through Gethsemane and • Calvary in order to be praised, or to acquire merit, or to win a place among the world’s heroes. He went to the cyoss, as he had lived every day, to “draw all men” to himself.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE By Mrs. James fl. A Lenten season is a period of spiritual inventory —of rededicatlon to Christ’s way—the hope of mankind. Man-made programs fail. Christian Faith alone is sufficient to drive fear from the hearts of men and of nations. Calvary—some men call it the most beautiful word in the English But more significant thanjjbeauty, it signifies the way to peace and salvation of all men. Christ died that all men might have eternal life. Won’t you attend a place of worship during this Lenten season and dedicate your life to the will of God? Go to church next Sunday.
