Here again we suffer from both
our individual and national errors
the friendships we did not make,
the help to the downtrodden we

shirked. We created out of the

founded democracy-but how
have we lived up to it?
We have our opportunity now to
correct old mistakes-but we must
remember the four things that
come not back: Let the words we
speak be words of fairness and
friendship. Let the arrows we
send forth carry messages OF
brotherly love. Let our life be as
near to what we want our future
to be, as we can make it-and let
us not neglect any opportunity to
prove the worth of our faith.

These Things Come
Not Back
By Ruth Taylor

There is an old proverb taken
from the Persian-"Four things
come not back-the spoken word,
the sped arrow, the past life and
the neglected opportunity"
THE spoken word" 1t is not
the fine things we have said that
come back to us. What haunts
us is the careless word the critical
speech the unconscious cruelty.
The times we misunderstood or
misinterpreted our neighbours ac-
ton the hasty generalization, the
rumor repeated as though it were
fact, the unkind gossip, are what
we remember. If we are sincere
in our endeavors to do right, these
things plague us. These are the
words that hurt us as deeply as
those against whom we talked.
THE sped arrow This is the
barb of unkindness that went
straight to the heart of our neigh
Dor, the wise-crack that stung,
the Indifference to our brothers
needs, the cold withdrawal from
the common life. The sharp trick,
the self-interest we displayed, the
spurning of the outstretched hand
are among the things that torment
us.
THE past life" Not only do
we recall those things we did indi-
vidually but our national mistakes
for which we, as citizens, are res
ponsible. We neglected the de-
veloping of brotherly relations be-

White and Negro Teamwork
Needed
In observing that one of the
answers to smoother race rela-
tons is better teamwork between
white and Negro leaders, Granger
said:
"Too much Negro leadership in
the past has fallen under the head
of militant protest and not
enough under that of cooperative
planning When i'm addition to
fighting against employment and
housing discrimination, N gro
leadership sets to work to improve
job efficiency and neighborhood
conditions within the existing Ne
gro community, that leadership
arguments against segregation
and discrimination are made much
more effective.
"On the other hand" Granger
stated. too much interest on the
part of whites in the Negroes well
fare is on a level of condescension
unpleasantly reminiscent to the
Negro of the old-time missionary
who offered salvation without
having first achieved 1t himself.
These modern missionaries want
to work for the Negro but not
with him
"Dolefm Alternative"
"The doleful alternative to
such a program is now before us,
Granger warned, in the torment
and confusion that characterizes
race relations today. The racial
question is convenient tool for
fanatic trouble-makers and un-
scrupulous racketeers . The
time is ripe and the way is open
TO a new series of race riots; to a
succession of more quietly and ef-
ficiently con d II c e d Scottsboro
cases; to night-riding in rural sec
tons and gang thuggery in city
streets; to a decade of bloody and
disgraceful racial controversy that
will stain the pages of American
history for many generations"
