First there is open hostility, those who by various ways try to cut down and then dig• out the roots of Christianity. This type of opposition down through history has not meant the death of Christianity, in fact if we are to believe history it has al- ways meant a renewed interest in Christ„ a stiffening of the Christian backbone. The second type of oppos- ition is indifference, symbolized by the "chesterfield Christian." The danger from.

Lewis Mumford in his book `Faith for Living" des- cribes two types of barbarians that menace our civilization -the Fascist barbarians who believe in force, des- pise the rights of the individual re- garding him as a thing; and the pass- ive barbarians who "live on the inno- cent animal level, a new race with (Continued.
