could not get over the feeling that
certain things were common and
unclean and that certain people
were on a very inferior plane, and
it required a very striking revela-
ton to save him from his foolish
prejudices.
The social aspects of these diff
ferences of race and the problems
that they create can not, of course,
be dealt with in the limited space
of these comments. 1t is probably
no help toward the solution of these
problems to ignore the real factors
of difficulty that are confronted in
all adjustments 1t is doubtful
whether there is much value in raw
ing about social injustice and inter-
racial prejudice.
What is necessary is to BUILD up
new attitudes of kindness and
love. of unity and harmony. of rec
ignition and real worth no matter
what its racial or colorful aspect.
The principles of democracy and the
principles of Christianity are at one
regarding these things.
He who would be a true citizen
and he who would be a thorough
going Christian, meet on very much
the same plane, when it comes to
a matter of their thought of their
fellow men and their treatment OF
those who differ from them radical
" or otherwise.

Here in America we are in the

been other cosmopolitan lands,
and cosmopolitan cities have been
many. The homeland of the Bible
was a great meeting place of ma
lions and races. The very list OF
those who were spoken of as be-
ing present at the Day of Pente-
cost is suggestion, and in all the
thriving commercial centerS Of
the age of the Bible there was the
conglomerate mingling of races.
What is now, however, in the
American scene is the vastness of
the experiment of bringing varied
races together and the basis upon
which these races are being weld
ed, if the welding is to be actual
~ achieved, into a nation. The
ancient world was largely a slave
world. Caste distinctions were
basal. Here in America democ-
racy has sought to establish new
world order, the theory of which
is that the individual counts as a
human being and for what he is
regardless of race, creed or color.
This ideal has, perhaps, never
been fully, or even nearly, upheld
in practice. While theoretically
distinctions of class do not exist
in the American democracy, it
would be difficult to deny that
wealth and privilege have not in
some measure established caste
lines. Pride Of birth, position and

possession, and even creed, have
been made occasions Of distinc-
ton and of prejudice.
But the most striking challenge
to the elemental theory of democ-
racy has been in the drawing of the
color line-a matter which was at
least a factor in the plung.ng OF
the country in civil war, and which
continues both north~and south to
supply one Of Americas most diff
cult problems.
While great progress in the con-
quest of prejudice has been made
in the south, the most acute mani
festations of the problem have been
transferred to the north where pre-
judiceS are apt to be raw and
brutal, entirely unrelieved by d
kindly tolerance that was present in
the hearts of the better type OF
southern white people even though
they most determinedly drew the
color line in social life and politics
No Christian can survey these
problems of prejudice in American
life today, whatever their source.
nature, or cause, without realizing
that the Christian spirit has some
relation to them. Nor does it seem
to many of us that the problems OF
democracy can be ultimately viewed
or held apart from the great prin-
ciples enunciated in Christianity
and manifested in the example OF
Jesus himself.
How hard these prejudices died
in the ancient world is manifest in
our lesson Peter, even after his
wears of contact with the Master,
was obsessed with the ideal Of ritu-
al purity and with the pride Of the
Pharisee in his own superiority. He
