The Common Defense
THANKSGIVING FOR PROGRESS
By REV. WILLIAM 6. KERNAN

The FIRST Thanksgiving, cele-
rIated by the Pilgrims in 1921,
as as much an expression Of
gratitude to God for freedom
from oppression as it was for a
good harvest.
Americans ever since have kept
a steady eye Oh freedom. On
Thanksgiving Day we recall some
Of the advances made in its
name which, II they do not tell
tie whole American story, indi-
cate at least the direction in
which we are going.
DR.. Gunnar Myrdal, the Swed-
ism statesman and social scien-
list who has made an exhaustive
study Of the coloIed American,
can now declare that "Colored
are continually gaining" in their
pursuit of liberty, that they
have always many OF the best
whites fighting with them" that
they have not only the Law, but
the national creed on their side"
We are thankful for that.
The Cincinnati Post recently
assigned three Of its ace report
ers to the job Of getting the facts
on how democracy is working in
Cincinnati. 1t was a candid re-
port. 1t listed the bad with the
good. And there was a lot Of
good. In summary, the report
stated, 'Ir Csncinnati-blend of
old and new, buffer between
north ana south-the equality of
men IS not yet estaDIfsfgd, but
the symptoms Ct its coming are
here. For every item Of shame
there is another of pride" We
are not standing still. We are
not going backward. Our direc-
ton is forward. We are thank
full for thot.
In 1913 the Southern Baptist
Convention reaffirmed its 1s47
Charter Of Principles regarding
race relations. I'VE believe in the
Lordship Of Christ the Charter
stated. IN order to act in His
name in social relations We must
owe our neigEbors. including our
solored neighbors, as ourselves"
Getting down to cases, the Char
ter affirmed, "We shall continue
ally strive as individuals to con-
quer all prejudice and eliminate
from our speech terms OF con-
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-11-20

tempt and fro incur conduct ac-
tons Of iil-will. We shall teach
our children that prejudice is
unchristian and that goodwill
and helpful deeds are the duty
Of every Christian toward all
men OF all races" Christian
opinion is very important in this
country. 1t is more than inn
portant. 1t is essential to the for
ward march Of democracy. And
Christian opinion is on the side
Of justice and the recognition
Of equal rights for all. We are
thankful for that.
Americans of Japanese descent
who have known the bitterness
of racial discrimination, are win
ming their battle against it. The
Japanese American Citizens
League neard reports at its Sep
tember convention that Nisei
and their parents had "regained
the high regard Of their fellow
Americans. We can be thankful.
for that.
In Pittsburgh where a Jewish
house of worship was desecrated
by vandalS, the Rev. Charles Ow-
en- Rice. a Roman Catholic priest,
denounced the whole sordid
business in a radio broadcast as
a "cold-blooded, malicious insult
TO a devout congregation" He
said that ~the vandaIs who did
the shocking thing were striking
a blow not at one Jewish temple,
but at deeency and Asnerican-re-
Iigious freedom" = and he went
on to say that the way he felt
those stones might just as well
have crashed through the vim
dows OF my little chapel at the
House Of Hospitality or the mass
i've windows of st Paul's Cathe-
oral, or Trinity Cathedral, for
that matter Christian activity
on many fronts against anti
Semitism is a stirring example
of the solidarity Of the American
people in the defense Of freedom.
And for that we are grateful.
There is much to be thankful
for. There remains much to be
done. Certain it is that, encour-
aged by the victories for freedom
already achieved. We shall march
torward-one American people,
che united nation.

cry conceivable way by friends
who have been near in heart
friends too numerous tomention,
who have shown that they cared.
And We take this Thanksgiving
season as an appropriate time
to express orr gratitude. Please
feel assured, dear friends Of Bos-
ton, OF our heartfelt thanks to
you-and to God who has so
generously sent you in our time
Of need.
This spirit Of helpfulness from
which we have benefited has
been shown III experiences with

the public IN general. AS exam
pies, Mrs. Hester, Deacon viii

Hardwick Of the Fathers CLUB

and the Dsacons Board in gem
eral have all been quick to
sense and serve our every need,
both spiritual and material,
thereby giving prayerful affec-
ton to strengthen and cheer us,
and practical help to relieve.
May our God, VINO has sent all
Of you, bless you. We are thank
full to have been remembered by
those we can't forget.

This vas the suffrage which in

We thank Thee for our Country
That which Thou has ordained
With countless blessings, stores of wealth,
All, through Thy merces gained.
We thank Thee too for life and strength
To fight for her cause,
For heart and soul and mind and will
To uphold her righteous laws.
We thank Thee for her soldiers,
Crusaders of the Right;
We thank Thee for her sailors,
Who dare the demons might.
Guard those at home and those abroad,
Guide them, where'er they be,
Mid banks of clouds, or trackless wastes,
Or on the raging sea.
Then, may we all be true
To Thee, and to ourselves;
Striving with honest toll and skill
To enrich our Country shelves.

Your heritage and mine;
God grant that she may prosper,
And never see decline!
