D Eisenhower for his promotion of good will and better understanding among all people The General richly deserved this thi I recognition The Churchman did well in making this award tche tche tc to t he the Chief of Staff of Uncle Sams Sam's Army It has been charged in some quarters that the Churchman is s rather in its editorial policy others allege that it learn leans far ar ar over to the left General 1 Ike however in his speech accepting he the plaque left no doubt as to how he stands on sound Americanism n In n fact his remarks would indicate that he was well aware of the accusations leveled at the Churchman and deliberately went wens all out to dispel any suspicion he was tarred with any pinkish rush brush The General described himself as a fanatic a fanatical devotee devotee de de- votee rotee of pf the American system of democracy He said he believed here there were two fundamental bases of this system 1 A deep anc and abiding religious faith and 2 that it is a system of freedom of rights and liberties of the individual described as free enterprise Without these two fundamentals he declared there could bEto be beno 10 to democracy Then he voiced his conviction that no individual even himself can be trusted with ith absolute power by stat- stat stating ing ng I am certain that if you entrust all your affairs and your property and your liberties to a bureaucrat in Washington such a aam as asI I am you would not have democracy as as we know it now There may still be some doubt about the sound Americanism of f the Churchman but General Eisenhower has left none regarding his lis It was also most refreshing to learn that our greatest General faith the first of two bases tamed named a Cia deep and abiding religious as c of f our American Way It was especially timely because all too toe nany many ministers of the Gospel have been bitten by the socialist bug lug ug This statement of General Ikes Ike's should cause all such seriously ser- ser to a return to preaching religious faith as the one and ind only thing that can regenerate mankind By way of contrast let me quote Karl Marx the arch apostle of is false because it its itis of f communism The democratic concept man is s Christian The democratic concept holds that each manas man manlas has las as a value as a soverign being This is the illusion dream and postulate of Christianity that man has a sovereign soul And then thenis Men liMen of the Cloth who seemingly as is s a further warning to our have lave ave given up on God as the savior of mankind please read what Earl arl Browder our leading A born American rican born of Marx has to ay say Browder brazenly boasts of how his communist party has invaded evaded church groups in America Writes Browder It is significant that the communist party more than any I other ther group has been able to achieve successful united fronts with I hurch church groups on the most important issues of the day This is not lot due to any compromise on our part with religion as such In Ingoing going among the religious masses we are for or the first time able to ring bring our religious anti-religious ideas to them them Earl Browder announces that his atheistic party has brought its ts s religious anti-religious ideas to church groups in an effort to destroy faith which General Eisenhower the deep and abiding religious states tates is is o one ne e of the two bases of the American system of democracy Need any more be said U U.
