Perhaps we could apply the same .stricture io .our attitude to democracy. "That is. a quotation from a recent hook entitled ''Towards Christian Democracy?' by Sir Stafford Cripps, President of the British Board of Trade in the Labor government. 'Sir Stafford (goes on to say: "What we require today is a strong heaven of men and women whom the devil has failed -to immunize and who.will catch the same violent infection of Christianity and democracy that struck, some of ,our forebears. It is no use to either our ipersonal .or social salvation -merely to profess .our Christianity and our democracy. We must .emplqy them ruthlessly to create a physical environment ,of justice and decency, in which they themselves will be able to survive, and .rlecome 'powerful factors for controlling the future sSITof the .world." Those are strong words, but lest they should Mr not . ;seem strong enough, Sir Stafford adds: "As Christian democrats, we should form .an .active .army fighting injustice and poverty, .unemploy-""ment and inequality, with as much vigor as we - - showed in .our fight .against the same evil in the garb .of .agressive Jiaziism." If the above combination of words mean .anything they mean that Christianity should -be organized like Hitler organized .Naziism .and Lenin, soVIarxism. Sir Stafford 4 4 says there is need for ,a "violent infection of Ghristiantiy and democracy." -We Jiave heard of a militant 'Christianity and democracy." We have heard of a "militant Christianity," but we have always associated it with evangelical .movements .and especially .with the Salva-.tidn 'Anny. A "violent Christianity" is an -entirely new idea. Even if applied to democracy alone, violence is surely out of place, except in the event of war and "the -maintenance of law and .order. Democracy is not necessarily a Christian system, since it takes in people .of 'various .religious beliefs. The effect of "Christianity upon democracy is to restrain the . use of violence, :and it certainly does not countenance ruthlessness in the creation of a "physical environment of justice and decency," or in "controlling the future of the 'world;" Mankind tpday is suffering from the results of two ruthless i attempts to control the future of the world. The truth is. that it is not within the power of any one religion or political system to i control the present imuch less the future of the J whole human race. Jf Christianity and democracy J. are to prevail, and they are, no doubt, the salva-!' ,tion of the world they must be .accepted by,.per-! 'suasion and not by coercion. The nee(Lof the world J is for an .aggressive campaign of -persuasion. not t for a violent :attack. Is It Safe Yet? jHE SITUATION .at the Kwinitsa slide, last re-I maining. barrier to the reopening of the Prince iRupert Highway for .traffic between ihere and Terrace, .appears to have Changed during the past week. More 'than one local motorist who went out that far during the week-end. agreed that the snow condition was ;not nearly as bad ,as it was -a. year ago and that tit .looked. safe for 'men to'beiput inio clear it out. i- As was 'observed in this column last wek, it is Tfor public works department officials to make the Udecisioii as to whether it is safe for them .to put athe rjien in there and assume .the consequences of "such decision. !Cautious.as they must be, no'doubt, 1 they areas anxious as the motorists fo get the road open ;again :and .will not delay .unnecessarily the work required to clear it. Value of .Library REVIE W -of the 'librariarils report, as .submitted A to the Library Board sat its .last meeting .indicates the important part 'thisjservice is irendor-ing to the community. i: The total 'number of hooks in thellibrarv is 9,f39. ' From time to time old books, are discarded .and it ' has been difficult recently, owing to the war -and then the ,paper .shortage, to obtain the 'new books that the book committee had chosen. In spite of these difficulties sixty new books have beea added since the start df the year. Atthe.end of 1946 the -names df (borrowers .were checked and 206,inames were dieted 'from the list of active borrowers. But since tne If irst of the.year 113 new members have .been .added. There .are 1,963 borrowers now. Jn the month of March, '1097 books of fiction .were in circulation, 207 non-fiction books were read; 72 books .were used by the juvenile section and in the pay.section 290 books were in circulation.
