WORTH REPEATING
No matter what your chosen faith may be, we believe that
the following quote taken from the McMinnville (Ore.) News-
Register bears reprinting.
It was composed by the Reverend William E. Rose of the
First Assembly of God: “Spying is risky, costly business. We
were made newly aware of this in the Pueblo incident and now
at even greater loss in terms of lives with the downing of the
U. S. intellignece plane off Korean waters.
“I’ve been asked ‘How does a Christian view this matter,
one brother spying on another?*
“Obviously the relationship of Christian and true brother
hood would make incidents like this totally unnecessary. But
the problem arises in that the world is not Christian. The na
tions are not Christian and do not operate on the principles
that make for peace.
"Some cry for us to stop such spying. To do so would be
national catastrophe. You can’t force Christian principles (and
that is what all the true principles of brotherhood are) on Un
christian people. My point is simply this: the business of the
Christian Church is not to stop the spying nor the wars nor
the vice and crime. In short it is not to stop anything but to
start an inward revolution.
“The gospel is the good news of a person and work that
unites man with God and man with man in a heart-to-heart
experience. To teach brotherhood is not enough. We have to be
made brothers inwardly first.
"We need an inward revolution, a revolution of love. As
long as the bulk of the world’s leadership seeks military might
as a means for peace, there will necessarily have to be intelli
gence operations spying on one another.
“There is great need for the Christian Church to rise to
the crisis of the hour and proclaim the good news of a better
way. This better way is found not only in the principles of
Christianity, but also in the person, Christ, who said, ‘I am the
way, the truth, and the life.”
Shouldn't all of us seek the inward revolution of which
Mr. Rose speaks? Wouldn’t it be a better world for all?
