On Extended Trip to Israel

" Dr. Sumner L. Martin Sends First Of Series of Reports From Abroad

EDITOR'S NOTE: "Dr. Sumner L. Martin, Indianapolis district superintendent of the: Methodist Church, is on his way to Israel as a member of the American Christian Palestine Committee. ’ With a group of 20 other American religious leaders he will spend several weeks there in an intensive study of conditions in that new nation. The party reached Paris this past week, en route to Jerusalem. As he travels, Dr. Martin will write frequent letters to the “folks back home,” telling of his trip, and what he observes. His reports will be published exclusively in The Times, as they are received. The first of them follows.

There was three feet of snow. We landed on Sunday morning and after breakfast we took a chartered bus to see the city of London, a sizable undertaking. Evidence is everywhere of the terrible bombing during the war. It started Sept. 6, 1940 and continued for 57 nights. One-third of this great city was destroyed. Our party attended the early service at Westminster Abbey and a later one at St. Paul's Cathedral. Both of these churches were —fit but not destroyed 2s was the City Temple, now in ruins. At three we took the same bus and covered many of the most important points of interest.

SUNDAY, APR. 8, 1951

This “Sermon of the Week” > was written for The Times by Rabbi William P. Greenfeld, spiritual leader of the Temple Beth-El Zedeck.

Will America pass through its ordeal by fire, and come out a stronger democracy, a finer republic, and a more glorious

country? We believe it will. We

must, however, guard against the loss of those values for which we are engaged in miortal combat. » » ” " THE Police State, the totalitarian concept, the manifest hatred of those who are different, the destruction of freedom of speech, the principle of guilt by association, all of these must be guarded against with every bit of strength at our command. Time and again we are told in the Bible of lands that were conquered, and whose were then worshipped; of peoples who were subdued and whose immoral way of life was then followed. Conquest by the sword was too often followed by the deféat of the word of God. Terri-
