Costly Discipleship
Discussions
On Merger
Reach Halt
OBERLIN, Ohio (UPI) Dele
gates of six Protestant denomina
tions end their discussions Thurs
day on a proposal to merge their
21 million members into one
church. Major obstacles still
loomed large against a possible
union.
Primary among the hurdles was
a way to unify the six forms of
worship practiced by the Episco
palians, United Presbyterians,
Methodists, Disciples of Christ,
United Church of Christ and the
Evangelical United Brethren.
The Rev. William Jackson Jar
man, chairman of the consultation
study committee on worship, said
that until a way can be found to
a unified worship service "the
will be no Christian Unity."
"Unity in worship is the ultimate
achievement of church unity," Dr.
Jarman said. He is president of
the council of Christian unity of
the Disciples of Christ.
The Rev. Dr. Massey H. Shep
herd, professor of liturgy at the
Divinity School of the Pacific at
Berkeley, Calif., said the chief ob
stacle is the reluctance of the laity
to give up familiar forms of worship.
LENTEN LIFELINES
By RALPH W. I.OKW, D.I).
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
tvery man lives lor some
thing. He gives himself to suc
cess, to his job, to his pleasure
or to his security. In one way
or another, he pays the price.
Since Uiat is an obvious com
ment on life, why should we be
surprised that this is as true of
our religious convictions? Yet
for too many people, the cost of
these convictions has never be
come clear. It is as though they
shopped in the bargain basement.
Carlyle Marney tells of a disc
jockey who was advertising rec
ords at Christmastime, asking
"Would you like something re
ligious, kind of cheap-like?"
All of this is foreign to what
Jesus discusses. His demand of
his disciples was for an inner
discipline. They were to be
changed persons. They were to
have new sets of values.
It all cost something and there
was nothing in the market to be
hilled as "religious, kind of cheaplike."
A part of our lack of a sense
of costliness comes because we
have used religion as a tool. It
has been something to save de
mocracy, or to hold up a person
in trouble, or save a man from
despair. A great faith does all of
these things, but not for these
reasons.
As Barbara Ward once wrote,
"Faith is not a matter of con
venience nor even save indirect
lya matter of sociology. Faith
will not be restored in the West
because people believe it to be
useful. It will return only when
they find that it is true. '
And Joseph Sittler adds, "When
men are urged to renovate their
religious values in order that the
Republic may be more firmly
glued together this covert
idolatry reaches a peculiarly per
nicious and untruthful pitch. There
a relation between a people
who are blessed because their
God is the 'Lord, but one does
not find it recorded that God the
Lord consents to be compounded
into political glue."
It becomes clear that we can
not just believe in God in gen
eral. A man's faith in this God
will cause him to make certain
decisions, require necessary sac
rifices. In short "Taking up
cross." This is far more than
putting up with some petty annoy
ance or irritation.
The disciplines come when we
discover that there is an "cither-'
and not a "both-and." Wc
choose between our allegiances
and loyal ties. We betray or we
follow. We love or we hate. And
all of this becomes difficult, for
most of life is not so easily dis
cernible as all-black and all-white.
Yet there is the awareness of
a fundamental loyalty, even de
cisions seem difficult.
Some years ago a young woman
told of a childhood c.)ericncc
which had come 'to mean a stab
ilizing influence. As a child she
would stray from the family prop
erty. Her distracted mother tied a
long cord to her ankle, and thus
made certain that she stayed with
in bounds.
Now this child had become a
young lady, was confronting cer
tain decisions and making cer
tain choices. She commented inai,
at that moment, she was happy
that she could make her choices
from the vantage point of her
freedom, while at the same time
she honored basic convictions,
As a child, she was restrained
by the rope. As an adult, she is
constrained by love. As a child
whe was restrained by external
authority. As an adult, she knows
the meaning of an inner conviction.
We live for something, and thus
we die to something. We follow
something, and thus we leave
something. Discipleship is costly
as the great martyr-theologian
Bonhoeffcr said. It cost Christ
the full meaning of the cross. It
gives his followers the ability to
respond in wis flay ana age nun
a decision "to take up our cross
and follow Him."

One of the highlights of the
luncheon was a talk relating a
brief history of the society. In
1842 a group of women in Nau-
voo, 111., gathered together for
benevolent purposes. Later the
president of the LDS Church, Jo
seph Smith, organized the group
as an official auxiliary of the
church.
Three past presidents of the lo
cal society. Mrs. Inez Blcssingcr,
Mrs. Clifford Lawrence, and
Mis. David Davis, were honored
guests at the anniversary event
and each was presented with .-
book. Past presidents unable to
attend were Mrs. George Shaffer

eral readings was presented. It
was arranged by Mrs. Harold
Catmull, Mrs. Bert Markillie, and
Mrs. Jim Smith.
Of particular interest to those
attending was a display of four
large quilts and four baby quilts
handmade by members of t h c
society. These articles will be
sold as a future fund-raising proj
ect which has as its goal 18 largo
mid 18 baby quills.
Phenomenal Growth Rate Achieved

The members are better known
as "Jehovah's Witnesses."
During the past 20 years a
period in which the membership
of other churches approximately
doubled the number of Jehovah's
Witnesses has increased by 700
per cent.
Today there are about 900,000

There also are fast - growing
branches of tlie society in West
Germany, France, Latin Ameri
ca and Africa.
Their phenomenal growth rate;
is the result of a zeal (or evange
lism which puts the established
churches to shame. Every Wit
ness is regarded as an ordained
minister, and is sent out to ring
doorbells, pass out literature on
street corners and preach the so
ciety's message to as many peo
ple as possible. Tlie average Wit
ness, working an assigned terri
tory, makes personal calls on at
least 10 homes each week.
Behind this passion for convert-
winning is the firm conviction of
the Witnesses that the end of
human history is imminent. They
xpect it to come at any hour,
nd almost certainly within the
next 10 years.
The end will come, they say,
with a titanic Battle of Arma
geddon" between the forces of
God and the forces of Satan. The
awesome pyrotechnics of this
struggle "will make atomic ex
plosions look like firecrackers."
The only survivors will be Jc
hovah's Witnesses, who will there
after live eternally and blissful
ly, not in heaven, but right here
on earth.
Other Religions Satanic
Because they regard all other
religious bodies as instruments of
Satan, Witnesses (eel that they
an express their love of neigh
bor only by relentless prosletyz-
ing by bringing as many people
as possible into their own fold
before it is loo late.
They also look upon all human
governments as instruments of Sa
tan and therefore refuse to pledge
allegiance to any flag or to serve
in any nation's armed forces. This!
stand has brought them into con
slant conflict with the law, and
exposed them to many mob at
lacks, tar-and-fcatherings and oth
er savage persecutions, both in
this country and elsewhere
But the Witnesses are not
averse to using the judicial proc
esses of government. Since 1938,
Ihey have carried 50 test cases
before the U.S. Supreme Court
ind have won 37 of them. Through
this litigation, (hey have won the
right to preach on Ihe streets,
refuse jury duty, avoid salutes to
the flag, and carry on house-to-house
solicitations.
Leading constitutional lawyers
credit (he cases brought by the
Witnesses with achieving a major
expansion of civil liberties for all
Americans.
But this was a purely inciden
tal by-product, so far as the Wit
nesses are concerned. They care
nothing for improving social con
ditions or righting injustices in
human society, which they feel
is corrupted beyond all hope of
redemption and already doomed to
fiery destruction.
Have Distinctive Theology
Many Americans who have had
brief encounters with Jehovah's
Witnesses or their literature have
formed the impression that they
are an offbeat body of Prolest-
ants. But the Witnesses have a
distinctive theology of their own,
which can hardly lie described as
a version of Christianity.
In his excellent sludy of llie
Witnesses, "Armageddon Arnundl
Ihe Corner", Prof. William J.
Whalen of Purdue University says
Witnesses may be described as
fundamentalist Unitarians
They regard the Bible as the
infallible word of God, a word
which must be taken literally and
at lace value, says Prof. Wha
len. "At the same time, they
stoutly deny the divinity of Jcsusl
Christ and tlie doctrine of the
trinity. An orthodox Christian
theologian would recognize bits
and pieces of a dozen ancient
heresies in Witness theology."
Witnesses believe that the Al
mighty is WTathful at Christians
because they call him "God" in
stead of using his proper name,
Jehovah. They have their own
translation of the Bible in which
Jehovah has been substituted for
God more than 6.000 times.
Although they look forward with
joy to an imminent and fiery de
struction of the present world.
Witnesses do not believe in a hell.
The wicked people who do not
qualify for perpetual bliss after
the battle of Armageddon will not
be condemned to eternal punish
ment. They will simply be extinguished.
Witness theology does provide
for heaven, but only a select "lit
tle flock" of 144.000 persons will
go there. Others saved from the
final debacle will remain on earth.
enjoying a trouble-free existence
forever.
Magazine Provided Name
The official name of the soci
ety is derived from tlie title of
magazine, The Watchtower,
founded in 1879 by Charles Taze
Russell, an Allegheny, Pa., haber
dasher who was attracted to ad
ventist doctrines of biblical interpretation.
He acquired a body of follow
ers, originally known as Kussel-
ites, and predicted that the world
would come to an end in 1914.
Witness theologians have since
reinterpreted his prophecy and
hold that 1914 marked the begin
ning of an "invisible struggle" in
heaven which will culminate in the
fiery battle of Armageddon on
earth, any day now.
After Russell s death in 1916, the
movement was headed by a Mis
souri lawyer, Joseph F. Ruther
ford. He continued tlie emphasis
on an imminent end of time, and
was author of the famous Wit
ness prophecy: "Millions now liv.
ing will never die.
Rutherford died of cancer in
1942 and was succeeded by Na
than H. Knorr, of Bethlehem, Pa.,
who had been a full-time Witness
since he graduated from high
school in 1923.
Knorr is a q u i e t and retiring
man compared to his colorful
predecessors. He has been respon
sible for the present high degree
of organizational efficiency in the
society, as well as for putting its
prodigious output of literature
(125 million books, tracts and
magazines a year) on a busi
nesslike basis.
The society's headquarters,
called Bethel House, and Us print
ing plant are located in Brooklyn.
Full-time workers, of whom there
are about 5,000 in tlie movement,
receive their room, board and $14
a month spending money. Every
one, including President Knorr,
lives on the same standard.
Oilier Witnesses earn their own
living in everyday jobs and carry
on their housc-to-house evangelism
during evenings and weekends.
The movement in modern times
has been notably devoid of scan
dals. Witnesses are excommuni
cated if they fail to maintain
high standards of morality in
their private lives.
