added that Millions now living are
already dead" killed by systema-
tic denial of the opportunity to
educate themselves and of the
right to work.
Millions of American children
whose bread winners do not earn
enough to properly clothe, house,
feed and educate them, have been
dying and are dying today and
will go on dying unless saved by
some well organized plan, executed
by persons who realize that IL
there is any life hereafter for the
individual the race, or the nation
it is in our children.
If we fail those children, who
die because of the injustices of
dual system which gives to one
man the right to work and, there
fore, the right to live, while an
other is denied that right because
of his race, creed, or color, we

1t reminded me Of the man who
/, tells me that he had saved him

having come to realize that the
man who puts the acquisition o.
money beyond all else comes tt
the point where he will do any.
thing to acquire the money he does
not need and, If acquired, could
not properly spend or give away
in life time, and that, in the
process, loses the respect of his
fellow men and ends up on a
lonely island.
This brought my mind back to
the gist of a Sunday morning SER
vice at great church. The pastor
was appealing for $125,00O to ex-
pand the seating capacity of the
church and air condition the edi-
flee. l had heard the pastor make
other appeals, but all of them
were for administrative or pas
torial needs.
In this country literally thous-
ands of children are slowly dying
and thousands of Giving dead"
walk the streets who might have
been saved to serve and contribute
had their fathers and mothers
been aided in properly rearing
them by some assistance program
sponsored or inspired by the
church.
We have talked great deal
about the Importance of improv-
ing the public conduct of our bad
actors in public places. Bad actor
are made and not born. Preaching
to or vilifying bad actors availeth
little. 1t is a waste of time and
energy to preach to dead people.
That is what millions of black
children grow to be whose needy
bread winning parents or guardian
are not assisted in the proper
rearing of their children. They cry
out against inadequacy and for
help to live.
If we can send billions and
billions of dollars all over the
world to feed, clothe, and house
the starving without any expecta-
ton of pay for same, we can al
son see that every American child
regardless of race, creed or color
is given chance to be good
American by guaranteeing equal
ity of that chance.
Help the children of today to
live. Help them to grow into good
men and women. Do not deny any
man the right to work anywhere
because of race, creed of color, for
to do so is murder.
The church and the state make
their greatest contribution in pro-
portion as they enable children to
live and grow. All else is second
airy. Absolutely secondary. We
need less of the type of state and
church for which the people exist
and more of the type which exist
for the people and especially the
children in this business of acquir-

Take away from a man the

him the right to live. You take
bread out of his children's mouths,
shelter fro mover their heads,
clothes off their backs. You make
it impossible for him to buy medi-
