Detroit's Arthur Wakefield Issues
lume Urging Unity of Religion,
to 'Selfishness of Politicians'
He is the author of "Objective
Truth Condemns All Politics !"
which has been printed here in a
large format, which he supple-
ments with new ideas from time
to time ztml which. he maintains,
unifies "answers that make mani-
fest reality of all biblical • prom-
ises."
His hook is accompanied by a
proxy "giving mandate for legis-
lative action to Objective Truth '
Enterprises," as he calls his pub-
lishing effort. The proxy calls for
an end to labor strikes and to
threats from automation an end
to embezzlement and stock market
"chacenery." and an end to de-
visive religious hatred.
One of the chapters in his
book is autobiographical. En-
titled "Author's Grueling Life-
time Search for Objective Truth
Answers," it traces his Jewish
studies. his family background,
the ideas he has developed, and
is critical of some of the cur-
rent religious approaches.
In a chapter entitled "The Af-
flictions in the World of Re-
ligion." he analyzes the various
faiths. l ie advocated that Jews
should study the New Testament.
At the same time. he condemns
the deicide charge against Jews
and welcomes the. new ecumenical
trends to correct the NN rungs of
2,000 years duration.
1Vakefield's book also discusseS
the civil rights movement. Here,
too. he is critical of those who
Threaten to "take over power from
the whites."
In the course of these analyses,
Wakefield reviews many of the
happenings in the battle for civil
right,: and he disapproves of boy-
cotts that have been initiated. Ile
favors a united religious leader-
ship that "can fulfill the goals of
all humanity."
He appeals :to civil rights leaders
to "ennobel their cause by unself-
ishly working for the progress of
all alike."
'I'Ve must shut the mouths of
the glib-tongued politicians for-
ever who seek to promote their
personal fortunes through noble
catch-phrases. Author Wakefield
