Saint Louis, Missouri, August Is Especially A nationwide APP
issued today by Chaplain Arthur Carl Piepkorn, Qieutenant Colon
eli, instructor at the Army Chaplains School at Fort Oglethorpe,
Georgia. Appearing as summer guest speaker on the International
Lutheran Hour over the Mutual Broadcasing System and affiliated
his world without Cod is nothing new. Even in its modern form it
can be traced back through four centuries to the Renaissance. About
a hundred years ago, however, roughly three generations, it received
a tremendous flip through the nineteenth century upsurge Of tech
nical knowledge about the world in which we live. The ability to
control at least partially forces of nature that less scientific ages
had piously referred to the %inscrutable wisdom Of God turned out to
be a heady intoxicant for many otherwise very intelligent men. Be
lief in God began to be treated IS a kind Of treason to ssience, and
every conviction that could not be tested in a laboratory, or weighed
in a pair Of balances, or reduced to a mathematical formula, or
seen in a microscope, or discovered through a telescope, was decred
as an infamous heresy and as a relic Of spiritual slavery which must
be destroyed ~posthaste'
Chaplain Piepkorn continued: "Consider a moment that glorious
basis for your pardon: "The blood Of Jesus Christ, Gods Son,
cleanseth US from all sins" In that sentence is the whole Of the
Gospel, the unabridged and unabbreviated good news Of the grace
Of God in Christ Jesus. Christmas is in that sentence, with its mes
sage of the Eternal Word made flesh in the divine and human natur-
es Of the single Person Of the Virgins Child. In it is His nameless
Agony in the Garden, His precious atoning death upon the cross,
and the somber burial that attested the final and perfect condolences
OF His sacrifice. In it is the precious blood Of the Lamb Of God
that taketh away the sin Of the world. In it il the price Of YOUR
redemption.

SAINTS AND DEVILS
By Kermit Ely, Director Of
Education and Research, Clio
Edited By Verna p. Harris

It's a funny thing: "Jimcrow has
come to be synonymous with "dis-
crimination"-and yet crows don't
discriminate! To them all men
are devils! This ! learned in a
Korean rice field.
There some farmers had con-
structed a Scarecrow with red
hair, blue eyes and a dead white
face. The crow avoided the field
as scrupulously as they avoided
my fathers corn field in Indiana
where Scarecrows e always
constructed with black hair and
black faces. Yet the Korean scare
crow looked as little frightening
to me as did the picture of blonde
saints on u Sunday School walls.
Thus I learned another thing: We
fashion our saints in u own i'm
age and our devils in the image Of
strangers.
This was further impressed on
me when travelling in China the
children pointed at me, yelling
foreign devil. why 'devil'?" ]
asked my translator. The answer:
Because I have a big nose: only
devils and foreigners had big no
ses in China.
1 should have learned this les
son long before I did. But it had
not dawned on me that time when
l was a little boy and got to know
Mosie Wolfberg. Our farm was
some distance from the shopping
center, and all the farm people
depended on Mosie's monthly trips
for various and sundfy items;
needles and thread, buttons and
shoelaces, ginghams and calicos.
Down the road from the town, Mo-
sic would trudge. his pack on his
back, his face expressionless. !
did not know what a Jew was
then but I knew that Mosie was
foreign to the Indiana people I
knew. He had a very long nose,
sad eyes and a strange accent. My
sister and l were terrified Of him
until the day when digging down
into the very bottom of his my
sterious bag, he brought forth a
stick of candy, broke it in half, and
shyly offered the pieces to us two.
From then on, a proven friend. we
looked forward to his visits with
affectionate interest.
I was dismayed when I revisited
Indiana in 1915 to find intolerance
where there had been a spirit Of
Iive-let-live. For the first time out
there I heard the rantings Of an
anH-semite. This frightened me
more than I had ever been fright
ened by our old peddles. And it
takes more than a half stick Of
candy to establish my faith now.
Having learned SO thoroughly
through my own experience how
childish such prejudices are, I be-
lieve that the people Of all ma
lions, all races and all creeds must
grow up and stop playing the silly
game Of imagining foreigners, or
those different from themselves in
any way, to be devils-landsmen
and co-religionists to be saints.
