Why War and Rioting?

We are told in no uncertain
words in our book of books, the
Bible, that the love of money, is
the root of all evil. Those of us
who take note of the worlds his
tory, in the past, as well as at
present, find this passage of scrip
ture true. Judas a would be
faithful follower of Christ, be-
trayed his master to his enemies
for money, thirty pieces of sill

science, which is Cod SO con-
demned him, that he went out
and hanged himself.
For the love of money, mater

the rules of the world enslaved
their helpless subjects. America
for the past $50 years not only
enslaved its black brother, but
subjected him to discrimination

CENTER

The Center truly lived up to
its name (THE HOUSE OF JOY

more than six hundred civilians

camp meeting of the south. some
half century ago. 1t was one big
shout from each one present of
one accord, that of Joy and hap
piness. The many so-called Boog-
lie Woogie and blue numbers
played by Bob White and his
Twelve Men About Town" and
songs by Miss Joan Chappell, al
most caused a JOY RIOT.

If you didn't see them on the

THE GREAT THINGS
I'm LIFE
By RUTH TAYLOR

There is a splendid sentence
that has appeared in most of the
Negro papers lately - wish it
had appeared elsewhere as we'll
for its lesson knows no class or
creed or color. ''Rationing has
taught the fine lesson that some
one must live beside yourself. ;"
In that line lies the whole secret
of greatness.
The great things in life are
the simple things. Friendship,
work, love - they are the true
essentials without which there
is no happiness. AS Hendrix van
Loon wrote - 1--WE are all of us
fellow travellers along the same
road and, as such. it behooves us
to work together for one COM
mon purpose, the greatest amount
of happiness for each and all OF
our companions"
We say that the thing we crave
most of all for ourselves is a
chance to get ahead - liberty
and freedom in which to pro
gress, the right to live as We
choose, the equal opportunity oil
equals to work and live and
grow. But to have these things
all men must have them the
world over. We can't keep the
other man from living his own
life, and yet vile as we want to
live.
In order to achieve these ends
we need wisdom to act justly
kindness to deal mercifully, un-
derstanding to deal with ouI
brothers, as we would be death
with; valour to fight cruelty and
prejudice, generosity of spirit to
love our brothers as ourself.
Only as we obtain these quail
ties can we keep our souls as
well as our. bodies free. Hatred
and envy and contempt are the
curses of life. The only way to
eradicate them is to wear the
amulet of love the will to give
and. to bless our neighbors - to
have the spirit of friendliness to-
ward all men.
The Golden Rule is still the
most practical rule of life. The
one peace that will be possible in
this war is the peace that free
men make - a peace applicable
to all people.
