HELP THE CAUSE

Once again our citizens are preparing to do their
bit in supporting institutions which are perform
ing invaluable service every day in the year. An
interesting brochure has reached our desk from the
St Antoine Y.M.C.A. which depicts in graphic detail
the numerous services rendered the community. In
formation on youth activities indicates the great
work being done by those who may soon take COM
handing place among their elders. The religious
programs, lecture series and recreationa activities,
all are vital elements in our social life which
being extended to meet the growing needs of our city.
Our contribution to and membership in the YIN.
CA. is an investment in our own welfare. 1t makes
possible number of services without which we can
not hope to achieve standard of living to which all
of us aspire So often take what such an institu-
ton offers from granted, yet realize on second
thought that could not afford to be without them
Now is the time to show our appreciation for the
institution which has served all of us in one way or
another Dig down, men, and take out that member
ship. We must not expect everything for nothing

RELIGION AND POLITICS

From some quarters we are still hearing the old
line that politics is wicked business that all poll
tcians are crooked and that no sef-respectng MIN
lister of the gospel should concern himself with the
political promise of our group Although practically
every important religious leader in the city gave
splendid support and encouragement to our recent
candidate for the Common Council few church
workers were heard to remark that politics and re-
lgon are as opposed asthe poles and no God-fearing
soul ought to be involved in such mess
1t has been demonstrated, however, that our lead
ing ministers are men of vision and they have not
hesated to use their influence for the greater good
of the whole community Our leading ministers real
ize that after ALL Christianity must be way OF lie
and that life in democracy such as=ours =mtist-of
necessity embrace politics. We wonder how some OF
our disgrunted religionsts interpret the supplca-
ton in the Lords Prayer, MAY Thy kingdom come
on earth as it is in heaven" After ALL if we wish
to have the world an ideal place in which to live,
we must do something besides wishing
Government and politics shape and mould the
nation 1t is silly to say that one must not be con-
cerned with force which is as integral part OF our
social life as the air breathe. If politicians are
crooked then greater is the necessity for the church
to exercise its influence. The politicians make the
laws ana there nave oeen laws haue Which, eHuali-
gered the church itself. Can ministers honestly
ignore this truth? There are few who will quote
scripture and point out passages in the Bible appar
emily iustifyng their dstaste for politics. 1t must
be said, however, that in the days of slavery South
ern white ministers quoted passages from scripture
attempting to prove that slavery a Godike in
stitution.
There is definite relationship between Religion
and Politics in our Christian democracy and all of
our ministers of vision realize that they have very
definite responsibilities One of the most encouraging
aspects of the recent primary election was the sin
cere unselish support given by our largest church
organizations in behalf of the candidacy of the lone
Negro in the Common Council race The day is COM
ing when att of us, ministers and aymen alike, will
form an invncble phalanX and march to the polls de-
termned to reward good men and defeat the corrupt

The arms embargo debate goes
merrily on. Bro. Borshs and Bro.
vsndenberg's group still insist that
it is alright to sell wheat, oil, lead,
copper. cotton and hundred other
things that are necessary in war,
but we must not sell guns, battle
ships nor planes. This seems strange
reasoning to me.
The opposition is not against SELL
ing supplies necessary to feed, clothe
and house the armies of fighting
countries; nor are they opposed to
selling the raw materials necessary
for the making Of materials of wear
Now the question resolves itself
to this either we have an embargo,
or we don't.
When we get down 10 the principle
Of the thing | see no difference in
selling lead and refusing to sell bull
lets, or selling steel and refusing to
sell guns Senator Nye OF North Ds-
kota appears to be the only one OF
the group who sees the issue clear
ly. He proposes a to.-l embargo to
the oelligerents. While we do not
agree with him. we must admit he
is thinking consistently.
Why an embargo on anything?

no interest in who will be helped
or hindered in what we do. We
should treat this whole embargo

problem and forget entirely wheth-
err our action will be 10 the interest

Sooner or later we must demand

OH It's long, long story, and,
the sooner we know it and under
stand it, the better off we will be.
For. at least, we will know what
this whole business is all about,
and we will understand our posi-
ton in the present, and be better
equipped to figure out and de-
termine our future.
To begin with, let us take a pass
ing glance at the, institution Of
slavery. since that is the real reason
and motive for our presence and our
situation in the Western world.
Slavery is an institution that has
for its main purpose the exploita-
ton of the person and services of
one individual, against his will, for
the profit of another, without bene-
fit OF contract or pay. Like a chattel
mortgage, that without possession
it is Ineffective in its foreclosure,
so, the first objective of slavery is
to take possession OF the body OF its
intended victim, so that it can domi-
nate and control that body for its
exploitation. Slavery knows that in
order to dominate and control and
exploit the body OF the individual
or his talents, it must also break
the will OF its victim. In order TO
break the will OF its victim. slavery
destroys everything, past and pres
ent, that stands in its way and
around the victim and that enables
the slave to stand up like human
being with a will and self
determination of his own-ln this

which man lives and which consti-
