The TEN COMMANDMENTS Still STAND

commandments - and they still

vidual or community life.
There is no problem of state.
craft today that cannot be held
up to them for judgment. We can
make our own decision on the
rights and wrongs of any case
without recourse to any outsider.
The apologists who try to ex-
plain away acts of aggression or
tyranny. under the guise of eco
nomic necessity, startegic securi-
ty, or fear of enlightenment, are
begging the issue. Their explana-
tions that the aggressors have
reasons for fears are shown in
their proper light when held up
against the yardstick of the Ten
Commandments. The answer to
the question of what Is right is
plain and not subject to compro-
mise.
We, as a nation and as indi-
viduals, must take our stand on
principle and abide by our prin-
ciples. We must not be swayed
by personality or prejudice, but
by a clear sense of what is right
and what is wrong. AS yardstick
by which to measure, the Ten
Commandments still stand pre-
eminent.

Heroic Women,
Mothers of Men

On the eve of the day set aside
to honor mothers,-theg great and
near great deem it appropriate
to pass this information on: A
lady with a Lamp shall stand in
the great history of the land,
noble type of good, heroic woman
hood.
Longfellow, in his poem, Santa
Filomena, used the above line in
referring to the work of Florence
Nightingale during the Crimean
War (1S54-1S56). Had Longfel-
low been a prophet he could have
easily been speaking of an event
that took place in Florida, March
70, when the advisory board of
the Bethune-Cookman college un-
yelled a bronze bust of Mrs. Mary
Mcleod Bethune, one of Florida S
greatest daughters, and one of the
great women of history. The bust,
done by Selma Burke, captured
the likeness of the great woman
for immortality. Both white and
colored paid tribute to Mrs. Be-
thune in person and in spirit. The
woman whose achievements have
found a niche for her in the his
tory of our time, was moved to
tears as she stood before the capa-
city audience of white and colored
admirers.
This great woman founded a
school with money made by selling
sandwiches for loo each on the
streets. Her determination, fore
sight, and wisdom, her dauntless
spirit and pleasing personality,
