 Galley Ten - Chronicle =. good for others, and real saliva tion as we struggle to salvage the souls of others. When we make the Kingdom of God into a merely personal thing, we turn into a personal insurance policy what God intended to be a charter of social and personal redemption. If the objection is raised that if you get sufficient individuals converted you will thereby of necessity change the social order, our reply is that this does not necessarily follow. For the social order is not made up of individuals now living 1t Is made up of inherited atti- tudes, institutions, customs, laws, and these exist, in large measure, independently of the individual will now living" As Dr. Halford B. Luccock aptly By sinking individual wells in your back yard you do not thereby have a city water system. '

.AuTTLE THOUGHT
 by M. HARRISON TINES
 Yale University Divinity School

The Christian fundamental ists'' stress individual or person al salvation. I have no bone to pick with personal salvation, if it does not stop with the indi- vidua.l The gospel, according to these misguided fundamen- talists, has no social implica- tions. The Church has no place in social, economic or political problems. Yet, Christ was de- finitely a social being, who lived, worked and struggled with peo- pie, and furthermore bequeath- ed a Body, His Church, which has it's social, economic and poli- tical aspects.
 Any person who joins the Christian Church "to get good" expresses thereby a keen sense of selfshness. Why should any of us want to rob the Church of it's goodness. We should at tempt to create goodness for I am good for nothing if good only for myself. Individual salvation is fine, but it alone is not sufficient; it must be trans

 The Republican Platform also promises a law against discrimi- nation by employers or labor unions for reasons of race, color, creed or national origin.
 The Republicans can make an excellent record and provide themselves with a positive ar gument for reelection if they accomplish these things, while seeing that the costs of govern ment are collected from those who can afford to pay.

EDUCATOR ASSAILS BIAS

Brooklyn - Asserting that segregation is geared to put the Negro in a light 'of second class citizen Margaret c. Byrne, a member of the faculty at St. Joseph's College for Wo- men here, condemned the deny ing of full-community oppor- tunity to any person.
 Speaking at a session of the Brooklyn Catholic Interracial Council, Miss Byrne, who is a former principal of Waleigh High School in Harlem, stressed the necessity for the develop ment of complete understanding among persons of every race and religion.
 In her address, ''Responsibili- ty of the Laity'', Miss Byrne turned away from a school, said, "When any person is church, hospital or from any other place, it is as though Christ Himself were to be turn ed away. The Pope has said that the only road to salvation is to repudiate definitely all pride of race and blood.
