Question--Isn't II possible for us
to be neutral and not take a stand
one way or another, either for God
or against him? What will happen

MISUNDERSTANDING to Matthew
1880. no one is neutral so far as
Christ is concerned. The Lord says,
'He that is not with Me is against
Me; and he that gathereth not with
Me scattereth abroad"

ter of Genesis, because our Lord
Jesus Christ tells usin Luke 1926
that cas- 1t was in the days of Noe,
so shall it be also in the days Of
the Son of man. So there it is
as it was in the days of Noah, and
the sixth chapter Of Genesis tells
us about that.

ture of a time coming when many
viii desire TO enter into the gate
and will not be able. Here are the
exact words of Christ: When once
the Master of the house is risen
up, and hath shut to the door, and
We begin to stand without. and to
knock at the door, saying, Lord,
Lord, open unto us; and He shall
answer and say unto you, know
you not whence We are: then
shall We begin to say, We have
eaten and drunk in Thy presence,
and Thou mast taught in our streets.
But He shall say. tell yeu, / know
you not whence We are; depart from
Me, all We workers of iniquity.
There shall be weeping and gnash-
ing of teeth, when We shall see
Abraham. and Isaac, and Jacob. and
all the prophets, in the kingdom OF
God. and you yourselves thrust
out" 1t is very clear from this that
a time, will come when the door OF
salvation will be closed.

reward the brave and daring,
and to advance the virtuous of
every race, religion. class, and
national origin.
America is, and has been, a
great nation. not because it has
offered rare prospects of success
to some, but because it has dedi-
Gated itself to opening the way
Of fulfillment to all
1t isn't the desire of true
American to use his rights for
drawing a circle about himself
into which none but a select few
may enter. A true American
looks upon his rights as the
means for bringing himself into
association with others from
whom without those rights =
he might have been separated.
Our strength is great in pro-
per ssiion to the Unity Of our peo-
pie, in the degree to which all
associate together together, de-
fend each other, know each 9TH
err, respect each other and
each others race and religion.
Where the conditions are pres
ent for cooperation our right of
association is not intended for
breaking our nation up into nu-
merous, small groups. The right
of association is intended to
break down barriers, where the
common good is concerned, by
enabling people Of different rae
es, religions, classes and nation
al origins to work and rejoice
together.
We SO used the right of aSso-
citation to conquer the American
wilderness = tame our swift riv-
ers = cultivate our soil - build
our cities and towns - and fight
our wars. No single group Of Am
orleans did this. All Americans
did 1t together. They used their
right Of association - not for
making America a land of many
groups each unknown to the
other but for uniting their
common strength for the COM
mon good.
This is the spirit Of democracy
without which there can be no
democracy at all.
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-01-17

There is such a thing as the
right of association. 1t is intend
ed to bring men together. But,
today it is being used to separ-
ate them. 1t is being used TO pre-
vent some Americans, solely on
account of their race, religion,
or ancestry, from living in some
neighborhoods, joining some
fraternities, working in some oc-
equations, attending some col
leses, being members Of some
clubs This is a disease of de-
mocracy which attacks and
weakens its spirit g which in
time can destroy its institutions.
For democracy is an attitude
toward life, a thing Of the spirit.

/ SAFE Jesus Dozen In Dixie
BY JAMES WILLIAM HENDERSON

BY JAMES WILLIAM HENDERSON
SAW Jesus down in Dixie
Chopping cotton with hoe
Old and bent, but struggling grimly
Up and down the cotton row
Saw him eat fat back and hoe cake,
In His little cabin yard
! saw Jesus down in Dixie
Jesus Christ His lot was hard!
saw Jesus down in Dixie
Walking miles and miles to school,
While the white kids rode in buses
Saw the Double Standard Rule
Weighing Down upon His spirit
Circling Him with misery,
While He tried in desperation
Tried to learn His A BIC.
saw Jesus down in Dixie
Beaten by the Ku Klux Khan
Beaten for the simple reason
That He dared to be a man:
Saw Him driven from His homestead
Like dumb, trespassng OK
For essaying to deposit
His vote in a ballot box.
/ saw Jesus down in Dixie
Dangling from~a white oak limb
Saw the bowling mob make merry
While their bullets ridded Him:
Saw the hot flames scorch and scar Him
Heard small children yell with glee
While His twisting squirming body
Burned to crisp upon the tree
I saw Jesus down in Dixie
Live anew Gethsemane
Then heard that dreadful warning
Given to humanity,
in as much as.ye have done it"
Heard it boom on every breeze
In as much as We have done it
To the very least Of these"

FILM PRODUCERS have re-

OR CURLEY used to tell us was
also experienced by the first
Irishmen who came to Boston
and who were looked down upon
and kept Gown to live in certain
areas. To imagine this covenant
concerns only colored or Jews is
wrong.

IN BOSTON today we have
the restrictive covenant which
makes it quite easy to tell which
nationality lives in what. part
Of the city. 1t doesn't take a vet

people live in parts of South
Boston, the South End, Dorches-
ter or the North End. Any

this one. It is the same way in

IT WOULD SEEM that if an
Irishman, starting out poor,
managed to climb to the position
of affording to live ''lace cur
tain" on Beacon Hill and had
the education and position to go
with dt, he should be given the
chance and not be barred by
those realtors who control the
nations housing. Yet this con-
dition once existed in Boston
and we've always enjoyed Mr..
Curley's eloquent history of the
struggles overcome.
- So -
MRS. ROOSEVELT has made
many fine speeches, but one of
her best was the warning that
we should not allow a growth OF
nations" within our nation;
that is, people SO jim-crowed
and separated from other groups
that they become isolated and
self centered and narrow be-
cause they don't feel a part OF
the whole. SO this is the real
danger of the restrictive cove
nant which keeps nationalities

WE RECALL a Boston press
radio interview OF a big-wheel
Hollywood movie magnet last
year. He wanted it understood
that he produced only "super
patriotic" films. Reporters asked
what films he rated most Amer
lean and he included Boston
banned infamous Birth of a
Nation" as one of his best for
foreign nations to see. So opin-
ions differ!.
LOST HORIZON, if made into
a film, as READERS DIGEST
has implied, will most certainly
create an uproar. 1t viii hit hard
at the right Of some people to
segregate others apart from the
choice fruits of Planet Earth. It
will expose those who have for
years mixed freely with colored
women in every country on the

starring Louise Beavers, the col

Camera Angles
Camera Strollers to Have Expert Guidance

Spring Is In the air! The best
evidence of this for Photographic
fans is that, along with the robins
and signs of life from the hardy
perennials, plans are being made
for the first camera stroll of the
1948 season.
Under the auspices Of the Ma
.tional Capital Parks, camera stroll
lers will open their seventh con-
secutive season April 4 at the JEFF
ferson Memorial at 2 pm. An
afternoon stroll is planned around
the Tidal Basin, ending about 4
o'clock in the vicinity of the Lin
coin Memorial.
Leadership for the 1948 season
will be supplied from the member
ship of the National Photographic
Society under the direction of Maj
Ralph w. French, chairman Of the
committee in charge. This will be
the first time that the NPS has
assumed the responsibility for lead
ership which in the past has come
IL OAl SdH1GdA al no pSA
sonnel and volunteer leaders.
Camera strolls were first under
taken as a feature of the National
Capital Parks in June, 1912, under
the leadership of Park Naturalist
Donald Edward McHenry. Georges
Dimitri Boria volunteered as leader
in August, 1943, and was succeeded
by Maj. French in April, 1945. He
has continued in this capacity, as
sisted by volunteers from the group,
Active throughout the six years as
advisers were the late c. "A. Briggs,
past president of the NPS, and Mrs
Briggs. ,.... .....- ,.-.
Improves Photographic Work,
The purpose of the camera strolls
is to interest camera fans in some
Of the photo possibilities in and
around Washington, and to aid
them in improving their photo
graphic work. The strolls are open
to all camera fans. Box cameras
are just as welcome as the most
expensive miniatures with multiple
lenses.
Practical pointers on composition
are suggested with the idea of en-
couraging camera users toward
greater confidence In their own
ability. Little effort is made in set
ting up "set piece" pictures, as il
is believed better to encourage indi-
vidual initiative. 1t is expected that
many will be using their cameras
alone and should be encouraged
and shown how to make the most
of their equipment when on theil
own.
Pertinent information as to locale
and interesting features are empha.
sized. When practicable, a scenario
approach is suggested that the cam.
era fan may have a set of pictures
which will show others in a con.
nected manner just where he has
been and what he has seen. Partic.
ular stress is laid on peculiar ano
identifying features, such as the
odd architectural details of Mount
Vernon.
AS many technical questions ARE
answered as possible. Many new
comers have had little, if any, expe.
rience in photography, and they art
aided in developing a consistent
technique. Most strolls are partici.
