Withhold not good from them
to whom it is due, when it is in
the power of thine hand to do It,
Proverbs 1927.
Thou shalt love thy neighbol
as thyself' is a command of God
Uev. 1919. This is the first re-
quirement for being good neigh.
Dor Without Christian love there
are dangers of misunderstanding
With 1t peaceful relations are as
sured. Good neighbors .helr each
other. Their mutual kindness may
be anything from lending a cur
of sugar to the best of syInpa
thetic help in time of great sor-
row. Such attention must be
given PROMPTLY in the hour OF
need When help is delayed op-
portunity is lost, and problems are
usually extended and enlarged
What ought we do for ouI
neighbor? Our scripture passage
answers the question. Anything
within our power should be Of
fered without delay Good neigh
bors keep themselves alert for OPP
portunities to do favors. These
things must be done without keep
ing any score as to who is ahead
of the other. The value and joy
come in the privilege of render
ing Christian kindness in the spirit
of Jesus.
This reminder today ought to
prompt us to take stock of our
relations with others. Have you
been friendly? And kind? And
uneritical? Are there people about
you who are lonely and friend
less?
Somewhere there is load that
is heavy to bear.
Somewhere there is a life that
is anxious with care;
Go quickly with Jesus their
burden to share,
Go do it for Jesus today.

Lord make us watchful and gen.
erous in giving help today to those
to whom we can be good neigh
bors. For Jesus sake. Amen.

world and at the same time
suffer from constant mis-
handling by adults who at
tempt to work with him.
Because sweeping generaliza-
ton about the Negro has been
more plentiful than fact, Negro
youth has been. and is being,
greatly misunderstood by teach
ers, social workers, reformers,
moralists, research specialists,
and preachers. Each of these
groups tends to look at the Me-
gro through a particular and
partial lens; and, consequently,
the view Is fragmentary. South
erland says to this point, 'Typi-
cally white Americans have lump
ed all Negroes together-twelve
million black, brown. light yell
low: good. bad, rich, poor, ig-
norant and educated-as one ho-
mogenous group" The fallacy of
this point of view is Immediately
apparent to any student of the
social sciences. Nevertheless, it
is an opinion which is prevalent
and must be dealt with White
people are inclined to think of
the Negro as having certain ra-
cial traits which govern his be-
havior. This is not true. The
only characteristics which most
Negroes share is dark skin pig
mentation and coarse hair tex
ture by which white society can
identify them and set them apart.
The race question is sociological,
economical and psychological; 1t
is not now and never has been
biological question.
Negroes in America have been
defined in various and devious
ways-from black Africans to any
persons who have any Negro blood
at all. The actual matter of fact
is that being a Negro in our So
ciety is much more a matter of,
first, social conditioning and, sec
ond, point of view rather than
matter of heredity.
cannot enter into a full dis
cussion of the emotional aspects
of being a Negro in a white world
and what this means to the Negro
adolescent. will, however, touch
upon some points which seemed
especially pertinent.
During the Negro child's school
experience he is taught of the
democratic way: That "all men
are created free and equal; that
every man may become what he
is capable of becoming. He is
taught, intellectually, the Ameri-
can dream From rags to riches;
that every American has chance
to become President. There are
examples of the words he is
taught, but he learns little by
little that he belongs to the one
tenth, the social orphans of dark
er hue who are born as Ameri-
cans but are destined to partici-
pate only partially in the Amer
lean Way" Many is the time I
have heard Negro youth ask when
seeing a sign-Open to the Pub
lic-'Does that mean to us too?"

WHAT CRITICS SAY ABOUT THE

This Is what one critic wrote
after seeing TheIma johnson
streat dance.
-. Thelma Johnson Streat was
presented in an unusual program
of modern dance interpretati ms.
which was a synthesis of Negro
life and art in its various mani
lfestations. Miss Streat perform
ance was highly artistic and en-
joyable as entertainment becauae
of its dramatic impact. It WAS
evident that she has serious
social purpose in mind: that of
bringing before the public the po-
sition of the American Negro, in
his struggle for the freedom with
in the limitations and restrictions
imposed on him by our society. In
the Dance Drama "The Negro
Speaks of Faith" Miss Streat gives
a gripping dramatization of the
history suffering and sustaining
faith of her race.
