Short Memories

"a concentration camp cancels clean bath
room and ATTEMPTED mass determination Of
race overbalances sunny disposition This
appears in an article in the Army weekly
Yank. current issue, entitled s'Snort Memories
and Nice People, dealing with the propensity
of veterans to forget the ruthlessness of Ger
mans and Japanese in war when they show
friendliness in surrender.
The article directs attention to an advertise
ment which appeared in 1885, displaying {
wounded veteran with the caption, s'Helle
Sucker" The text dealt with the waste O.
World War 1 and how little that conflict hae
accomplished. "There is DANGER says Yank
"that the double of that advertisement NIGH
appear in 1926 to be just as true of Worlc
War II. 1t is danger that is being spot
lighted increasingly every day in newspaper
reports from Germany and Japan"
It quotes the New York Times:
An American general dater kicked
backstairs) stated that IS per cent of the
members of the Nazi Party were forced
into the party against their will.
An American major in Munich said that
he didn't believe all those stories about
atrocities in the nearby concentration
camp at Dachau.
u S. enlisted men have decided that
the cleanliness and friendliness and eff
ficient plumbing of the Germans are ir-
REPUTABLE evidence that the Germans are
nicer people, more like u.s. than the
Frogs or even the Limeys.
And adds the comment of CT concerning
Japan:
Many GIs, even GIs who had fought
from Guadal on, are quick to forget their
dead, and why their dead died, in the
face of japanese correctness and cooper
alton in surrender, and the pretty faces
of Jap girls
A feeling is growing up that the Japs
are fairly decent, efficient and Western
lied people for the Orient, probably much
nicer and more like us than the Slope
heads.
And on its own behalf, says:
''There are things We are forgetting,
things we will have to remember If that
label is not to be stamped indeibly on
all of u.s. Gen. Eisenhower, for one, has
recognized the danger in his repeated di-
receives to his subordinates in military
government, reminding them of the terms
under which Germany surrendered and OF
our obligations as victors to the ideals for
which we fought.
eve must remember, that the general
who analysed Nazi percentages, although
a good general in war, evidently never
studied his history lessons beyond the mil
itary sections and that, whatever he may
think, it did take millions of willing Nazis
to arm Germany for war-millions of will
ing Mas to inflict, in that war, 700,O00
casualties on American troops. And it is
frivolous and dangerous for anyone OF any
rank to compare the political tactics OF
these Nazis to a Democrat Republican
souabble back in the U. So
eve don't have to be brutal conque1ors,
concludes Yank, "but we do have to avoid g
sentimental good fellowship with the people
who started World War H. There will be time
for that when they have proved their WORTH
ness and, for most Of them, the proving viii
take some time
More plain speaking like this is needed.

BOX
JOHN r, MURCHISON

A Christian gentleman went to
his final rest when John Murchi-
son died. A few weeks ago while
in the hospital, I reflected on the
life OF this dear friend who was
only a few doors down the hall
bearing patiently t h affliction
which beset him. He had lived so
blamelessly and now he was
stricken.
We are wont to think Of the word
gentleman with things social-a po-
sition in life. But really doesn't it
have to do with a way of life?
It contemplates gentleness. 1 think
it contemplates clean, fair dealing
and living. think it also contem-
plates faith in and a loyalty to
something greater than ourselves
a depth OF life.
The ancient prophet said it this
way: "What does the Lord require
Of thee but to do justly, and to
love mercy. and to walk humbly
with thy God"
Having done these things, this
devoted husband and brother has
left to his family a memorial in
his life which will ever inspire the
finest things Of life.

COUNTY HOME RESIDENTS
To the Editor:

sA~S ~ASAAS04s
Too few of us take time to con.
slider the pitiful condition of the
aged, decrepit and afflicted ones
at the various county homes. So
far as this life is concerned, they
have little or nothing left, except
to wait for the final summons and
perhaps to wonder how and when
it will come. Many of them can
scarcely be blamed for feeling
that they have been discarded and
cast aside.
Good work has been done, both
by ministers and others in visit
ing the residents at the county
homes. However, where it has not
already been done, would it not
be well for all churches, regard
less of denomination, that are
within a convenient radius of each
county home, to arrange a plan
whereby the Scriptures could be
read and preached at least once
week to those who have. no
means of attending religious serv-
ices? A regular schedule could be
agreed upon, giving each pastor
and his church all opportunity to
hold services on q turn-about
basis, taking along a few good
singers to cing the good old hymns
for those who so much need the
comfort and cheer which they
give.
Visitors should see that each
resident receives some token Of
personal interest from time to
time, if only a flower and a few
words of friendly greeting. Els.
pecial care should be taken to get
in touch with those whom no one
seems to remember.
Such tokens Of remembrance
mean more than words can ex.
press to the aged and afflicted
ones who's dreary condition
makes any kindness rendered
them doubly welcome.

Christian View
OfSex

Harry W. Glazier, Rector, Church Of
the Good Shepherd.
Once upon a time sex was the
closely guarded knowledge of the
marital relations. Sex was dark,
mysterious, slightly ugly and sin
full practice. Getting married, tenn
pered its wickedness and its sim
fitness was absorbed to some ex-
tent in the necessity Of propagat.
ing the race. But all knowledge Of
its practice was ''hush, hush" even
among the same sex.
The last twenty-five years has
brought an almost total reversal
of his attitude. Sex has been
dragged forth out of this dark,
mysterious and fearful cave, and
become common knowledge. From
nearly every direction there is a
constant flow of information about
sex. l use the words "fow of in
formation" deliberately rather
than knowledge or enlightenment.
The greatest difference this has
made is that under the banner
Of enlightenment seq should be
discussed and it has been discuss
ed.
However, over half the difficult
ties people have today grow out
of the relationships cf male and
female.
RELOCATING sexual matte to the
unspeakable does not work. Talk
ing about it too freely does not
work. Shall we then conclude it
is beyond our comprehension.
Certainly we shall not make
this conclusion until we have con-
sidered the Christian view, and
there is a Christian view.
According to the Christian view
sex is a God-given instinct, neith-
er to be ruthlessly repressed NOR
carelessly INDUCED. 1t advocates
neither the sexless life nor the
licentious one. 1t speaks of sex
neither in whispers nor in blatant
vulgarity. It would have us treat
sex with due reverence as divine
gift and use it as a means to
spiritual ends.
Simply stated sex is a natural
gift of personality. 1t is just as
foolish to ignore it as to ignore
our need for food or shelter or
companionship. 1t is just as fool
ish to glorify it out of proportion
to our other needs as it would be
to spend all day eating or sleeping,
for herein lies sexual maladjust-
ments and also the source and
meaning of morals.
We see that the Christian view
Of sex is the same view it holds
about everything God has made.
There is nothing wicked about
the desire for food. It is a part
OF mans necessity. There is
nothing wicked about a mans de-
sire to keep clean and be thought
well of by his fellownen. There
is nothing wrong with mans adj
venturous spirit nor his aspiration
to build something beautiful. There
is nothing wicked about the sexual
impulse. Like all the instincts
and motivations of life God gave
it as a vital and meaningful part
of mans personality. The evil
and ugliness of sex, like every
thing else, lies in its misuse and
abuse.
The only sound answer to the
problem of the sexual life is that
Of the attitude Of the Christian
faith. It is a God-given element
of personality. God gave il. for
a purpose. It's use in accordance
with Gods purpose adds to the
enrichment and beauty Of life.

Southernaires Give Good Program Of
Traditional and Folk Compositions

A fine program of quartet
singing was given Saturday night
~ the well known team of Ne
gro radio singers, The Southern
Tres, who appeared in the Pas
,agoula High School auditorium
inder the auspices of Entertain
nent, Inc.
The concert was attended BY
several hundred members ant
purchasers of general attendance
tickets, and was well received
by the audience. The singer.
were applauded to the perform.
ance of a number of encores.
The Southernaires sang a pro
gram ranging from European
classics by Schubert, throug
traditional Negro melodies, an
standard concert pieces by Amer
lean and English composers.
The Schubert pieces were I'm
patience, AYE Maria and "Tht
Fri King, which they sang witt
feeling and with their usual tech
meal perfection. The most NOV
ing performance was THE Er
King which is a fast moving
German 'lieder", or song-story.
1t tells of a father racing through
a German forest on horseback
with his sick child, pursued b.
The Fri King, which is the per,
sonification of Death. 1t is a
mournful and haunting piece, and
the Southernaires did it well.
Among the traditional Negro.
melodies that were sung were
Gonna Study War No More,
Nobody Knows the Trouble ]
See, Talk About a Child That
Do Love Jesus. and "Oh Them
Golden Slippers. The last sec
ton of the program was a melo-
dy of hymn singing and preach
ing of the soft, flowing style ia
miliar to listeners of The South
ernaires' national radio program
on Sunday morning for the past
ten or fifteen years. The speak
er, William Edmonson, bass, does
this very we'll.
This reviewer must add hat
although the harmony of this
quartet is flawless, and their mu-
sic enjoyable, they fall a little
short of their own performance
on The Southernaires album of
records. One reason for this is,
like most radio singers, they sing
very softly, to avoid blurring the
sounds in the microphone, A rec
ord or a broadcast can catch their
soft tones and amplify them, but
in an auditorium with limited
acoustics such as that of the high
school, much of the vigor of which
they are capable never comes
out.
Probably it would have been
a little out of place for subtle
and highly trained concert sing
ers like these to swing out or
barber-shop harmony or on the
old Negro spirituals as they mus;
have been sung long ago; but that
music might have been a little
more stirring and yet not have
been undignified either.
After all, the spirituals are one
of the finest art forms that this
country has created, as most Sc
rious music critics agree, and to
the impartial listener it would
probably be a lot more moving to
hear The Southernaires go all
out on a number of these than
i. is to hear them rendering STAN
dard and unexceptional concert
numbers by standard composers.
