Earthquakes and God
Pictures of Disaster Japan Prompt Inquiry About God
In and Above the Shadows
By the Req. Frederick Brown Harris, D. D.. Lit. D.

ages partly because it reveals q God who is IN
the shadows and above the shadows.
Men act and talk as if an earthquake dread
full as it is, cancels and obscures everything
else that can be seen in life or said about 1t.
The trouble is We too often Judge coSnlic
morality by the little yardsticks of our bodily
safety and comfort and then call 1t our faith
We let a physical event obscure spiritual
world We are quick to indict God or even to
deny Him because of the operation OF natures
laws Browning saw earthquakes. He was keenly
alert to world where there are both violets
and vipers, yet his final creed was: "All's law
yet all's love-" That daring leap OF faith cannot
be taken until there is a humble realization Of
how fragmentary is our view. We see, at best,
but tiny segment of the perfect round Of
infinite purpose Even that little fraction Of
total reality which we can see through glass
darkly is not dominated by earthquakes or
other calamities. The impulse which speeds the
Good Samaritan to stricken lands unfurling the
banner of the Red Cross is fundamentally more
meaningful than violent tremors of the earth's
surface.
And why should we lose faith when nature
does suddenly what she is doing slowly all
the time. bringing death and destruction to
all mans works? The truth is that we see only
one side of an emerging something which has
q Thousand sides. We stand only on the outer
edge What Socrates was and is was not de-
stroyed by cup of hemlock. The grateful
ages tell us that. A sunset is not blotted from
the sky because blind creature in Mammoth
Cave turns skeptic. Even amid the desolation
of the awful San Francisco quake affairs of
worship were reared.
Mans Best Man rests his philosophy Of life
on the deepest Interpretation of tragedy. His
religion is built on catastrophe. His cross is
the sign OF a defiance of it and victory over
it. The God of the cross is the God of the
earthquake His is "the still small voice" after
the earthquake. 1t is the heartbreak Of adj
versity which gives wings to that song in the
night:
Nearer, My God To Thee, nearer to thee
Zen though it be cross that raiseth me-"

= Arrogance at Dayton

The strike at the Univis Lens Company
in Dayton, Ohio, is nearly perfect exam
pie OF how certain extremist labor leaders,
while demagogically damning the rela-
lively mild Taft-Hartley Act, are, in fact,
building up case for the passage of
much sterner law to restrict the power
which they so arrogantly abuse.
When it was called last May by their
local union leadership-the CLIO United
Electrical Workers-the company's organ
lied employees apparently walked out will
ingly enough. Within the past week, how
ever, in special election supervised by
the National Labor Relations Board, they
have voted against continuing the UEW
as their bargaining agent. In addition,
several hundred of them have begun
back-to-work movement with police
protection.
But the JEW leadership and all the
CLIO locals in the Dayton area, denying
the right of these Americans to go to
work peacefully and without molestation,
have organized mass picket line at the
plant. The result has been scuffies with
the police, sporadic violence, and threat
to stage huge demonstration whose
explosive possibilities may impel the Gov
ernor OF Ohio to send National Guardsmen
to the scene tomorrow
Commenting on all this, one of the key
leaders of the strike-who has been
directing the pickets despite court order
barring him from the vicinity of the
Univis plant-has' blandly inverted the
truth in way that is typical of men of
his stamp. Thus, with a straight face,
he has declared to the Dayton public that
You are witnessing the results OF one
of the most vicious laws. the Taft-Hartley
law"
The fact is, of course, that what Dayton
is witnessing is display of unionism
in its worst form-an example of how a
few men, heady with power, are showing
their contempt for the public interest and
the laws and traditions OF this Nation
by trying to intimidate free Americans
from going to work when they want to
swork. The thing is intolerable. II the

committee ask them IF they ever

Say South Is
Still Truman's

Washington - (ANP) - Presi-
dent Truman is still the candidate
of the south, Val J. Washington,
assistant Republican campaign
manager, said last week.
In comparing the candidates of
the Republican and Democratic
parties, Washington said that &C
tons taken by Dewey in New
York are more positive than any
ever taken by President Truman.
He criticized the Truman cam
paign strategy as one designed to
trap some votes" from the Ne
groes with promises.
He (the Presidency is for any
trick or device that some sharp
practice advisor tells him will
trap some votes" Washington
said.
Complaint is made that the
President was unable to do any
thing because of a Republican
congress. What can he do on civil
rights with a southern Democrat
congress?
He has power now to abolish
segregation and discrimination in
the armed forces He says he
is going to appoint a committee to
study ways and means to put
equal opportunities in the armed
forces. We know about separate
but equal opportunities as prac-
ticed all these years in transpor-
tation and schools"
To back up his claim of the
southern support of Truman,
Washington named southerners
who he believes will get impor-
tant positions if Truman is cleo
ted
Citing the New York anti-dis-
elimination act and the recently
set up state university system
which bans discrimination in
schools, Washington pointed out
that Dewey had acted to make
civil rights a reality.
With Gov. Dewey and Gov.
Warren" he said, Negroes can
make great progress toward the
goal of full American citizenship"

Just before her visit here, Mrs.

The oldest hair organization in
America, the National Beauty
Culturists League was begun in
1919. When Mrs. johnson became
president 10 years ago, the organ
ization had only % units.
Now, under her 10 years of
diligent and visionary guidance,
the League has 21O units in 43
states, with a membership Of an
estimated 10000.
This year the League will de-
vote much of its efforts to finish
ing payments on its national
headquarters in Washington, pur-
chased this year.
Mrs. Johnson has developed
high and far-reaching goals for
the League. Under the banner of
striving for raising the standards
of beauty culture, the League has
developed two Institutes Of Cos
metology, held twice a year, and
ll-Newman 2O7l5 AWinger
a national sorority. In this Insti-
tute Of Cosmetology, the mem
berS learn not only ways of styl-

making, hat styling and other
beauty preparations.

few days in Chicago on her re-
turn trip to New Jersey.
