Both extremes are corporate states, both ruled JH1 by dictators, both with a planned economy. The difference rests in their ideals. rJ In the Communist state (Russia) every citizen is recognised as a stockholder of the corporate state (which is a state that has taken over all corporations engaged in production and em- - bodied them in a super-corporatio- n, the nation itself). Their 'J and factories, that there be plenty for all, without overproduc-j- t tion and waste. Unemployment does not exist and everyone is engaged in raising the standard of living. The Nazi-Fasci- st countries have the old ideals of feudalism, slavery and oppression. Here also is the corporate state but with a difference. The few at the top, who have furnished the J money to bring to power the Fascist dictator, aim to skim off all profits for themselves. The citizen is not a stockholder but a slave. There is planned economy for war and the production of war materials. Steadily the standard of living goes down for the man who produces. It isn't peace that these nations want but war and war it will be. And after it is over the owning classes will be no more. Not only will they lose their properties but their lives as well, with a cost to the nations of countless billions in capital and mil-lions of lives. The democratic countries, today, are battle grounds for progr-essive- Fascist groups within themselves. Those nations, in which the owning class gains control, will join the ranks of the Fascist nations in the war of Armageddon. The nations in which labor retains control will become Communistic and allies of Russia. The Fascists will win the world battle but, like all wars, those who win, lose. Every Fascist nation will have a revolution, and a civil war, and the rich man will be unable to 1J find a hole to crawl into. Cities will be destroyed; epidemics Jl and pestilence will sweep the world; great earth changes will take place, and the year 1948 will find a chastened and changed world. 1 The next nine yevars will see the complete collapse of the financial system now in use throughout the world. The priest- - hood, as represented by the Roman Catholic Church and other state religions, will be abolished; labor unions will be no more nor will there be any laws preventing the free choice of a pro- - 1 fession, world travel, or choice of residence. There will be no duties, nor tariffs; no warships, nor armies; no restrictions upon the liberties of man or nation after 1948. Some Items Of Interest WILL YOU or WONT YOU?

A CHRISTMAS SERMON BY Claire Stewart Boy er t (Mrs. Boyer is one of the most highly gifted women of Salt Lake, a poet and writer She deals in che fine and high things f the spirit. We are fortunate to get an article like this one. Ed At this high moment in the history of mankind, thousands of valiant Christians know that the Great Challenge has come the power of Cod in man must rise to save the world! Just as the son of man became the Wayshower to per-fection, so now the sons of men, after professing to be be-lievers in and disciples of the Wayshower for two thousand years, must fulfill his dream for them and bring the Kingdom of God to earth. Although the white and seamless robe of his message has been cut into hundreds of conflicting creeds, al-though Christianity has been taken for granted and has be-come placid, the vision of the new Jerusalem is still with men and the love that can breathe life into that vision still flows on. To those whose eyes are singled to the glory of God, to those whose hearts yearn with compassion, the trumpet call is glo-rious! This is the Great Day! The Wayshower revealed every step that man must take to reach his spiritual stature, and "as many as received Him to them gave he the power to become sons of God." This, then, is man's destiny. With the spirit of truth to guide him to all truth, man can so live that he can come into his divine inher-itance, become joint-hei- r with Christ. Jesus, the man, took his first step when at the age of twelve He recognized that He was the Son of God. This is the recog-nition every man must make. When he senses the Divinity within him, he has set his foot on the path that leads to com-plete realization and fulfillment. "I must be about my Fath-er's business," Jesus said. When man's work is done with the recognition that it is God's work, it is done in the spirit of Christ. It, is pure, loving and faithful to the highest ideal man has. Man must not fail in this first step forward. Living as if he were the son of God is the only sign that he has recognized his Sonship. People who are not conscious of this kinship live as do the flowers only half awake. No wonder Christ said, "Awake, arise, believe!" Awake from your human conception of yourself. Arise to your divinity. Believe that you too can become a Son of God. Whenever light comes to man, with it comes the inspiration to live by that light the living is the fulfillment of the pur-pose of the light. God reaches to man and gives him high visions, when he makes those visions the structure of his thoughts, words and acts he builds for eternity. The acceptance of his divinity was the next step Jesus took to show men the way. His vision was cleared, the heavens were opened and he could see the glory man could achieve, the illumination of a peaceful spirit, the radiation of Christlike love, the joy of divine perfection. He was made anew, and so must every man be renewed by a higher vision by washing away the belief that he is limited and coming forth conscious that he is the image of God. For he too is a trinity, ever present! He will believe this only when he finds it true by experience. When man takes upon himself a new office, dire tempta-tions.co-tohim It is necessary for him to become invul-nerable to lesser desires. Love for material things lures him first. Then acclaim calls to his pride and because the desire for fame is so strong it takes all plan's strength to turn his back upon it. These were the temptations that Jesus overcome in His Christward journey. They come into the life of every man, again and again. When they can be ruled out, man's strength is multiplied and he is ready to begin his ministry. Again Jesus was lifted up, this time to the attainment of be-ing. He gathered to himself the twelve virtues that would in-sure his integrity. The disciples each held one quality: Peter was the man of faith, James the man of wisdom, John the man of love. These three were close companions of Jesus and were with him at his highest moments. The others, Phillip, spirit-uality; James, the lesser Justice; Simon, zeal; Thomas, un-derstanding; Thaddeus, order; Andrew, celestial love; Barthol-omew, imagination; Judah, celestial love; Mathew, will. How much man needs these qualities, for they are to be-come the twelve foundations of the new Jerusalem and as they are built into his character, so they are built into his world. What real pleasure man finds in them. Doubting Thomas, or the understanding that demands proof through the senses, causes him the most distress and Judah's love of the celestial, betrays him because it lures him to live on other world ideas. Yet once these two qualities are transformed by light when once human reason gives way to divine reason and the celes-tial isknown as an extension not a substitute of this human life, then are all things made clear and no mystery remains unsolved. When the truth is discovered, the soul must express it. So. Jesus clothed these qualities in everlasting beauty. They were so simple that children loved them, and so great, that wise men plumbed their depths. This was the divine art. Man ex-presses through varied forms of the arts, the same values. He makes a cloak of beauty in words, colors, tones, or shapes and gives his soul qualities to the world which proclaims their goodness. Yet it is ever in action that the greatest step, is taken. So Jesus became the Christ in his works and, when this was re-vealed to Peter, Christ knew his Sonship had been established. He healed by the ministration of touch, of Word, of thought, of vibration, all of which, healers of every generation have used. He. resurrected himself because he believed so com-pletely in eternal liife. And he promised that his followers could do all that he had done and more. He proved his mastery, his dominion over. all. He changed elements, forces and brought forth the substance from the invisible. He proved that all things are but variations of one substance and that they can be changed one to another. This was the omnipresence of spirit. He showed there was no sit-uation that love could not change. This was his omnipotence. He proved that through prayer, all could be known, that was his omniscience. Once he saw that this was so, then he lived it! And living it, he gave all praise and glory .to the Father, the Light of Lights, from whom cometh all precious gifts. So draw-ing near unto the Father, he felt the Father drawing near unto him, until they became one that was the atonement! That made man and Cod one God enfolding man until there was only the divine for the human concept was but a shadow and now there was only light! Yes, all sins were washed away by the atonement for sins are the undivine thoughts of the self-limite- d human mind. And all men may know this glory when their eyes are singled when they are pure in heart when they have no other Gods! Then the Kingdom, the power and the glory will be theirs for they will find the Kingdom with-in them and the power and the glory. After becoming one with God, Jesus the Christ saw himself as God saw him, and the transfiguration was a revelation to him. He was the past, present and future. He was the law, the prophets and the fulfillment. Law abides in the soul, the desires for perfection are the prophets of what is to be, abiding in the mind; then there is the Word Love, which fulfills, abid-ing in the heart. And all are within each man! To show this, Christ took those disciples of highest quality, men of faith, wisdom and love, and lifted them up in the spirit until they saw that love alone suffices that the Word of God is all there is! Here indeed is a transfiguration of belief. Obeying the law of Moses is not enough. Worshipping a prophet is not enough. Loving God and man is all there is! (Continued or page four) The Plan of Plans There is only one thing, and one thing only, that will save the country's business and finance from going into i chaos when the final break in the crisis comes, and that one thing is a Plan. Let men say what they will, those who live through this thing that is upon the world, will find out' as surely as they live, that all purely man-mad- e plans will fail they are failing, disintegrating right now. The one and only plan that will save the day is the Moses and Christ Plan. But the Old Brigade of money will not move a hairbreadth toward that plan. They do not belie-ve in it-n- yet But they will-belie- in it and pray to have it adoptedjbefore the storm run its course The Crea tor was wise enough to give to men His plan for economic sanation. He made it as complete and plain as He did His plan for spiritual salvation. The two are inseparable It is not His will that we have confusion and poverty and war. These come because of men's sins. Because we re-fuse to come into harmony with' the Creator's plan and therefore the present world confusion is here and getting worse everyday. We have on our all the picture of two of Am rica's serv ice men, one who, while doing heroic dut , went to death at Pearl Harbor, and another who rendered some of the best service possible. Finer specimens of manhood never were looked upon and woe uiito any man who dares to utter a word against them or their s rvxe. Come in and look pon their noble faces. 1 Two Contributed Poems A PLEA FOR PEACE by L. M. Million How thoughtless people seem to be This Christmas is not anything to me With all this killing going on There is something very, very wrone:; I cannot hear those Christmas songs. I could not light my candle red When I see in it the blood that's shed, down their wounded limbs; I could not think of singing hymns It's only mockery to me the tree and other Christmas things! When I think of all the wounded dying and dead I think of what the prophets said "Peace on earth, good will, we'll spread." But, oh, how far it seems to be This star of peace and unity.
