The Oregonian repeated Dr. Toynbee's statement that democ racy is half emptied of its mean ing by being divorced from its Christian context and then wrote "Actually, he could have gone farther. Government that is not based upon a strong religious foundation has no foundation. It is a ballon subject to shifting fads, emotional surges, material istic philosophy and greedy ex ploitation. ... If the Western world is to maintain democracy, it must strengthen the founda tion of democracy, which is Christianity active Christi anity." Mrs. West concluded by saying "When newspapers and histori ans tell us that, as well as mis sionaries and preachers, we have to step out and work for active Christianity. We must have the courage to sharpen our focus, to put on our spectacles and take a good look at this country and what really counts. This civiliza tion must not rise and fall It must stand."
