THE eye cannot say to the

nor again the hand to the feet,

Pointing out that st. Paul was
exhorting the Corinthians to unity
in the church Bishop Shaughnessy
said.
This APPLICATION of the figure
of the physical body in the super
natural. life has no less a perth
nent place in the world of nature.
Any successful organization IL in
its final analysis a compact and
coordinated unit made up of
many divergent parts.
$50 in a country or a nation
the very existence of the central
body depends upon the harmony
and coordination of all those who
make up It's people.
"Thus, in most countries of the
world today, there are members
of diverse races springing from
many different linguistic. racial
and national stocks. If as the ear
and the eye, the head, the hand
and the foot in the physical body
they are coordinated in mutual
cooperation their nation thrives
and prospers.
Similarly if employer and en-
ploye realize that through their
selfish interests seem to clash yet
their ultimate ends are interde-
pendent, then too, is there unity
throughout the land"
Bishop Shaughnessy declared
that in war, even more than in
peace, unity among all different
branches and component parts OF
our national life is essential, and
that the farmer, the small bust
ness men. the educator, the hos
pital and the school are equally
necessary for ultimate victory
over the nations enemies.

THE new YEAR AND
The DARKER RACES

This is a crucial year for the
Negro. 1t is crucial for American
democracy; 1t is crucial for world
democracy. The arms of the Uni
ted Nations must triumph over
the Axis forces, but the victory
of the armies of the United Ma
lions is not enough. There must
also be the victory of democracy.
A victory of democracy not only
for the five million white peoples
of the world but also for the L.
700. 100000 peoples of color in
the world.
There can be no victory of
democracy, however, after the war
unless the forces of democracy
prevail during the war. 1t is quite
possible that this war may be won
in Burma, Singapore, the Medi
terranean and the Atlantic and
be lost in Washington, d. c.,
Georgia and Chicago. The great
est assurance people have that
, the four freedoms, the. Atlantic
Charter and the declarations that
this is century of the common
man is that the peoples of color
in the United States of America,
the West Indies and India, Africa
and China be accorded freedom,
independence and democratic
rights now. Since the United Ma
lions have the power to grant
freedom and independence to the
darker races now, If they don't
do : It, 1t may serve to disil-
fusion them as to their securing
freedom and independence even If
the United Nations win.
There is nothing in the history
of het attitude of the United
Nations and the Anglo American
empire system toward the darker
races to cause the people of In
dia, Africa, the West Indies and
tn United Sttaes of America tc
have any faith in their profes
sions. But it would be a mistake
for the darker races to expect the
gift of freedom from the United
Nations. Freedom is never given
it Is won. Justice is never graft
ed, it is exacted. 1t is written II
the start that the darker races
will never be free until they max,
themselves free. This is their tasl
in the coming year.

His birthday dawns today in a

Frankincense is the gift of toll,

pressed for them. Seaman Ray
Carter. Seaman Allen Fleming
and Seamon MILFORD Jackson who
were shipmates of Seaman Charles
French the hero of the shark in
tested waters off the Solomon Is
lands acknowledged an introduce
ton to the audience. Introducing
Seaman French to the audience
the Master of Ceremonies said:
'Thre is a much mistaken opinion
that wars make heroes, but it
only makes them known. HerOism
is not thing taht can be put on
with military uniform and laid
aside again when the conflict is
ended. 1t is part of the man him
self. 1t is the scarlet thread OF
many fibres woven by the hand
of Time into the fabric of the
soul. Seaman French had to be a
good citizen in time of peace to
make such an able seaman i'm
time of war. He had to love his
country in time of peace to be so
willing to die for it in time OF
war;
Seaman French said in reply:
when L went oevr the side of
the ship and found out that was
uninjured, my first thought was
to help the others all 1 could. L
managed to save ten who were
injured. 1t happened that all of
them were white and some OF
thin were officers. But 1 wasn't
thinking of rank, race Or color.

Especial highlights of enter

Toles and his orchestra and piano
selections by Mr.. Palmer Johnson
one of the outstanding pianist of
his day. Johnson caused the aud
fence to shake the rafters with
applause with his Boogey Woogey
numbers and Sophisticated Lady.
Complimenting the musicians for
their outstanding performance,
the Master of Ceremonies said:
Music has a voice for every age
and capacity for every degree of
taste and intelligence. Its lullaby
soothes the infant in its mothers
arms; It's joyous notes give wings
to the tripping feet of those who
love to dance; It's martial notes
inspires the spirit of patriotism,
nerves the warriors arm and fires
his heart. The stirring strains OF
national airs on the rough edge
of battle has ever thrilled the
soldier, causing him to burn with
an emolous desire to lead the
perilous advance and animating
him to deeds of heroic valor and
the most sublime devotion. To be
without perception of the charm
of music lis to be without the
finer traits of humanity.
The use of the hall was donat-
ed by Mr.. M. c. Honeysuckle who
authorized the statement that IL

ton, regardless of race Or color.

THE new YEAR
BY RUTH TAYoR

Resolved: To live with all my
might while do live"
Such a resolution is worthy oil
the keeping, for it calls for the
best that each and every one OF
us has to give. Phillips Brooks
once wrote do not pray for easy
lives. Pray to be stronger men
Do not pray for tasks equal to
your powers. Pray for powers
equal to your tasks. Then the do
ing of your work shall be no mir
acle, but you shall be a miracle. -
That is what we need to do
this coming year - to rise to the
demands that will be made upon
us = not to translate those de-
mands into what we want to do,
Most of us can do a lot more
than we are doing most of us
can give a lot more than we are
giving - in our homes, our un-
ions, our communities, our nation.
We must live with all our might
today when the fight for right is
at our very doorsteps.
Overseas the hapless people OF
the conquered and subjugated
nations ar forced into acts utter
ly foreign to their own religious
and national ideals. while in the
totalitarian countries, the souls
as well as the bodies of men are
regimented. They hate and wor-
ship at the nod ia power-drunk
dictator. But here we are still
free to think. No one can make
Vi do anything we do not want
to do. No one can make us lie,
or cheat, or steal, or be cruel, or
intolerant, or bear false witness
against our neighbro. We are free
to make our own decisions and
We are free to do right. We can
make a resolve - and we can
keep it.
1t isn't particularly important
what happens to us as individu-
ais If we stand firm ready to
fight or to die for those things
which we know to be just and
right. But it is important what
we ourselves are. If We shirk on
the job, if we fail to cooperate,
il VIC grouse about hardships, or
If we don't lift our end of the
load. We are not only hurting
others, we are hurting ourselves
= and we are not living with all
our might. We aren't doing the
best of which we are capable.
Let's make a new resolve this
New Year. Let's make this world
better place just because we are
in it. Let's work to the best of
our ability and then do lot
more. This is OUR world - and
1t will be just what we - you
and 1 and our neighbors, rich or
poor, Black or White, Protestant,
Catholic or Jew, in shop or office
or home make of it. Let's
LIVE with all our might, care
fully distinguishing the false is
sues from the real. while we
strive with every effort to do and
preserve what we know to be the
right.
