Every time
a copy of the address is read, a brick will be laid in the edifice of
freedom. This is something everyone can do. You can give a copy to your
friends and acquaintances and ask that they promise to read it. Many will do
so, if you ask them, who would not otherwise make the effort. Every mind
thus alerted to our peril is a significant contributor to our survival.
If I address one
thousand people every day, and convince the thousand, it will take me almost
500 years to reach everyone now living in the United States, and I would go
behind at the rate of two and one half million a year as the population
increase in three million yearly.
On the other hand, if
you or I speak to one person a week and convince that person, and each
person thus convinced joins with us in convincing another person each week,
we can reach everyone in the world is less than twelve months. Will you wet
as your goal the recruitment of one person per week in the struggle for
freedom? The address to the Texas Legislature will help you achieve this
goal. A copy is enclosed and more are available on request.
I am inspired in the
project by the magnificent results that have followed the wide distribution
of the Congressional Testimony by the Allen Bradley Company. As indicated,
this Texas Legislature address will supplement and not replace the
testimony. Everyone who has read the testimony should now read this address.
The Allen Bradley Company continues to supply the requests for copies of the
testimony which arrive daily in great numbers. It would be difficult to
fully assess just how great their contribution to freedom has been and
continues to be.
ANDHRA
STATE, INDIA
Mrs Ch. Devananda Rao writes:
"During my recent Evangelistic
Crusade campaigns in the Jungle Area, I came across many poor children
whose piteous condition has stirred my heart. These dear ones cannot have
proper food, clothing, housing and education since they are orphans. I
have caught the vision of opening a Christian orphanage for these little
ones.
"The orphanage
is to be opened in June in a rented building. I should like to open it
with about 25 children, giving them a Christian home. A monthly donation
of $10 would fully support an orphan.
"In Christian
love in which Mr. Rao and our babu join me.
"Sincerely your sister in Christ,
"Mrs. Ch. Devananda Rao"
Would you like to adopt an orphan in
India? To become a charter member of this program write immediately. The
cost is $10 per month. Our Lord said, "Suffer the little children to
come unto me."
THE
BERLIN CRISIS
The Berlin crises hangs like a mushroom cloud of atomic death over the free
world. The question confronting thoughtful minds is, "Will there be war
over Berlin?" I do not believe the Berlin crises will lead to a major
thermonuclear war. I believe we can trust the Communists to act in terms of
their program of world conquest. War over Berlin would be a most serious
set-back to their established program. They do not desire war for the two
following reasons:
1. They do not wish the real estate of
Russia to be destroyed.
2. They do not wish the real estate of America to be destroyed.
They are confident that their present
pincer movement of internal sedition, demoralization and economic
disruption, coupled with their external program of economic and military
encirclement will lead to the surrender of America in the near future,
giving them the resources of America intact. They can then deal with the
American people at their leisure. Since the objective evidence supports
their conviction that this program is advancing on schedule, it would be
stupid for them to incinerate the magnificent homes, factories, and
buildings which they covet and have plans to utilize. They are crazy but
they certainly are not stupid.
What we are seeing in
Berlin is the application to the Communist "Dialectic". This
teaches that advance is made as nail is hammered into a piece of hard wood.
Each blow achieves only a little. When that little has been achieved, it is
not customary to leave the hammer on the head of the nail and continue to
push. The hammer is removed from the nail. When it has been withdrawn far
enough it crashes down for another small gain. At each blow the gain may
appear insignificant, but the accumulation produces the desired objective.
Already the Communist
gains from the Berlin thrust are becoming apparent. The Summit Conference
appears "In the Bag." Khrushchev has been angling for this for
years. He remembers well the remarkable gains the Communists have made at
all such conferences. Their opponents "negotiate" under tremendous
handicaps. They have a moral obligation to keep the agreements to which they
commit their countries even in the agreement is disadvantageous. Communist
morality demands they break the agreement the moment it is contrary to the
program of Communist world domination.
The western statesmen
must negotiate under the pressures in their homelands and have the urge to
"produce" for the electors. The Communists have no such problems.
The electoral crisis confronting Prime Minister Macmillan of England cannot
be ignored by President Eisenhower.
To the Communists this
Summit Conference is another battle in the universal Class War and they are
confident they will win a great victory.
APOLOGIES
In the last News Letter it was stated
inadvertently that all members in the Bridgeport group were cleared by the
FBI. This was a mistake for which we apologize as the FBI reports to
appropriate government agencies and not to private citizens and
organizations.
PROJECTS
"Truth Daily Newspaper in Kerala,
India"
This project approaches realization. The
aim is to begin actual publication in August. George Thomas, Ph.D. writes:
"We have hardly any time to wait as
the general elections are so near. We should do our utmost within the next
couple of years. I consider it very important that we should go right
ahead and turn every stone possible to get the paper started on August 15,
1959. There is an old adage in our language that if we strike at the cobra
we should strike only once and that it should be on its head. If we miss
this one strike, the cobra is sure to overpower us. I think this applies
very well to the Communists. We should strike and strike at its head.
Otherwise we are doomed."
Charles Sarvis of Seattle visited George
Thomas in Kerala in January. His report is most interesting and
enlightening:
"Seeing is believing – and that
was exactly my opportunity in January when I visited India.
"After attending
a Christian conference in Madras, I flew to Cochin, then traveled by car
eighty miles to Kottayam in Kerala State to visit the home of George
Thomas. There I found myself in an Communist-controlled land with
opportunities on every hand to view the Communist in action. I saw there
many bookstands and their red flags with hammer and sickle flying. I heard
them shout their menacing slogans as they gathered for a parade. George
and I watched the parade as dusk came on and several thousand young people
with torches, drums, and firecrackers started their seven mile march. Near
the end our taxi driver honked the horn to pull by them and the crowd
parted as we started to leave, but before we knew it our car was
surrounded by them and angry faces were peering in the windows. Both
George and I bowed in prayer for out safety as they knew who George was,
and I was an unwelcome American. We were both breathing easier as the
crowd parted when some police (Communist also) arrived and we were given
room to leave the area and go home.
"The Communist
menace looms larger and closer every day. We are losing ground at a dizzy
pace. Communism is, beyond a question of a doubt, conquering the world. I
believe that at this time India is the most strategic country in the world
due to its large population of four hundred million people. There are in
India fourteen states with governments resembling our own. At the Southern
tip of India lays the most beautiful state of all–Kerala. The Communists
were voted into power a year and a half ago under a Democratic system.
This was done by flooding the country with literature. There are at this
time four daily newspapers, two weekly magazines published by the
Communist Party, also twelve leftist newspapers. Kerala has a population
of twelve million with a literacy rating of sixty per cent as compared to
seventeen per cent over India as a whole. There is not at the present time
any publication presenting the truth of the Communist party goals. I
firmly believe the answer lies in supplying George Thomas with the
equipment necessary to publish a daily newspaper. This paper will print
the truth to the people in Kerala of the Communist menace. I believe that
by 1992–the next election year in Kerala–that the Communists will be
voted out of power which will in turn, turn the tide of Communism in
India.
"I enjoyed my
stay in India very much, and the lasting impressions of a most gracious
and hospitable people are with me. I personally consider George to be the
man of the hour for India. He is highly qualified and capable of
publishing this urgently needed paper. Time is running out–let’s not
delay!"
We have forwarded $15,000 to our friend.
The immediate need is $50,000. Please continue to believe, pray and give
that the goal be reached. We cannot afford to fail.
CHINA
Andrew K. T. Ming writes from Formosa:–
"The security of the world depends
upon the defense of the United States; the security of the United States
depends upon the defense of the Pacific Ocean; the security of the Pacific
Ocean depends upon the defense of Formosa. The front door for peace of the
whole world depends directly upon the back door of Formosa. We have to
work hard for our Christ and Truth to keep the people of Free China in
Christian faith and firmly opposed to Communism.
"We are planning
to print 100,000 volumes of each of your books except Communism–Diagnosis
and Treatment, of which we propose to print 150,000 copies. We need
$11,000.
"There is not
greater joy than serving our Lord in these changing days in Free China.
"Our entire
China Anti-Communism Crusade joins me in our kindest regards and love.
"Very respectfully yours.
"Andrew Ming"
We have sent $1,000.00 towards their need.
It is a pittance. Please help us send more.
THE
CRIMSON SHADOW
Letter from Kodi Skogstad, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin:–
"Your film ‘The Crimson Shadow’
is really circulating around Wisconsin. In a few weeks we will be taking
the film to Morthern Wisconsin to circulate it through a few small towns.
My husband and I have been presenting it on an average of once or twice a
week–political groups, veteran’s organizations, men’s and women’s
service groups, YMCA, and in private homes for sewing circles and study
groups.
"In fact the
film is so much in demand–will note this ‘at the time not so humorous
incident.’ Someone has borrowed the film from us to show at a noon
luncheon meeting. When the canister was returned to me, I looked in and
the ‘film was missiing.’ Sabotage? After many frantic phone calls, it
was discovered that after the noon meeting a man had simply walked off
with the film because he had a group he wanted to show it too.
"At a viewing
this week, a man came up to us after the program and said, ‘Such a
depressing situation in the world. Why don’t you tell us what to do?’
1-2-3, bing, bing, bing. All he wanted was a nice easy solution, no fuss,
no trouble.
"I was going to
keep track of how many times your ‘Crimson Shadow’ has been shown, but
I have lost track."
CONCLUSION
Time and space do not allow mention of the
contributions and achievements of many who are with outstanding results. Our
Missions Director, Jim Colbert, is meeting a great reception wherever he
speaks; Bill Strube, secretary and Texas director, is a dynamo of dedication
and is literally performing miracles; that unique company, The Allen-Bradley
Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, continues its exemplary program for the
survival of freedom; Rev. White, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of
Caldwell, Idaho, has now joined our team on a full-time basis; Jack Danciger
of Fort Worth continues his great efforts. These are but a few. Our work is
growing on every hand. In this we could take satisfaction is we did not
contrast it with the overwhelming progress Communism is making. It is
unlikely that the sleep of Khrushchev is as yet troubled by our efforts. His
day is coming. As more people throw themselves and their means into the
struggle, under the direction of the Spirit of God, with our power
multiplied by His power, we advance to Victory.
Your Christian Friend,
Fred C. Schwarz
