First used to describe the mer-
ger of 10 separate colonies into
one United States of America, the
phrase, "E Pluribus Unum," Is
now true to an extent never con-
ceived by the Founding Fathers.
We the people Of the United
States are many. Eleven and a
half million of us were not born
in this country. More than mil
lion and a half of us came from
Italy, better than million each
from Germany, Russia and the
British Isles. If all of us who first
saw the light of day in Poland
were put together, we would make
a city considerably larger than
Cleveland. Nearly every country
on the globe has had a share In
creating 1--WE the people"
And our color scheme is far
from being a monotonous white.
Thirteen million of us are Ne
groes, 100000 of us are Indians,
and more than quarter of mil
lion are of Oriental extraction.
We the people are many-in ma
tional origin, language, religion,
customs, color and behavior.

SERMONS
BY Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry
For AMP
AMERICA

l. America the beautiful. the
wealthiest of all. must not be
spiritually minded and take heed
lest she fall
2. She has stretched afar and
become mighty like many nations
of old, that forgot God and right
eousness and went madly after
gold.
3. Many of her citizens have
forgotten their obligations to the
nation by compromising every
principle and making money their
foundations.
4. Pride and arrogance occupies
the front of the state while pre-
judice and hate keep up their
hellish rage.
5. Our government seems to
relish the practice of make-believe
while too many intelligent but
INSCRIPTIONS leaders carry tricks
up their sleeves.
6. And the majority, it seems,
in everything profitable, just must
be first, IL all other man and
country must face the worst.
7. Selfishness is the deadly foe
that is destroying the welfare OF
our nation while greed is the
cancer that is undermining her
foundation.
8. Deception draped as a grace
full queen, waves her hand majes-
tically, with pomp and splendor
out In front, while poor innocent
citizens must bear the brunt.
9. CTS who have fought to save
our land from the foe, must now
roam the streets with nowhere
to go.
10. Some are living in auto
mobiles and some a little better
in roadside trailers, all due to the
chicanery of hypocritical leaders.
IL. With billions Of dollars yet
unwisely to appropriate, have we
not let the research of cancer
come all too late?
IL. Our duty then to God and
men we individually must under
stand, that our world can only
hope for a vital chance when you
and I get with God and our plans
sincerely arrange.

CATHOLICS IN SOUTH:
CIVIL RIGHTS NOWY

ATLANTA, Ga.-Southern Cath
olics this week demanded a ma
tional program to relieve poverty
in the South as one great step
in eliminating discrimination and
establishing civil rights.
The Catholics warned that while
the South may claim the right
to solve its problem in its own
way, it can't insist on doing 1t
in its own good time" because:
Not only the rest of the nation
but also the rest of the world"
is impatient with undemocratic
practices.
So declared the executive COM
mittee of the Southern Regional
Council in a statement published
this week, Paul Williams, Rich
mond publisher and a founder Of

South. is president Of the council.
Another member and signer of the
statement is Msgr. T. James Nc
Namara, rector of the Cathedral
of st. John the Baptist, Savannah.
The statement called for three

and asked for a more statesman
like approach In the discussion Of
it. Certainly a more mature dis
agreement is possible" the council
commented, In likening today's

Regarding the federal civil
rights program, the Southern
group stated:
by all means let us have laws

be = to protect the rights of dis
advantage minorities. But let us
also realize that laws cannot do
the job alone; let us see our
society for what it is COM

and costly national effort" to

off. Emerson used to edit his
essays by trying to use one syl-
liable words instead of three syl-
liable ones. That IS not talking
down. 1t is the art of calculation.
Words should be considered
carefully by tie listerer. Never
take a phrase out of it's context
and state it as a fact. The classic
example is. Of course, 1.-THE fool
