Every once In q while members Of

going to disappear while they're not
looking. The American University
owns all the rest of the block and
wants to take possession of 1925 as
soon as possible so they can tear 1t
down. They are going to build q
public affairs department of the
social science division of the uni
versity there, President Paul Doug

Mrs. John Gross, owner and
founder of the club, has just COM
pleted negotiations with the uni

which really confirms an agreement
they made in 1945. Now all the
details are ironed out, so the uni

the house as soon as Mrs. Gross
relinquishes 1t. But 1t looks as
though the members needn't worry
despite disturbing reports that might
come to their ears. Mrs. Gross has

CuItiyating The Fine Art TsTN,
III .

Extracts from the sermon de-
livered by Rev. Oliver w. H.
Childers of Charles St. Church,
at Morgan Memorial Methodist
Church on Race Relations, Sum
day, Feb. 8, 194S.
1 am speaking this morning on
tine topic, "cultivating the Fine
Art Of Living Together.
In America We have cultivated
about every art. Our own city is
filled with institutions of all
kinds, devoted to the cultivation
of music, painting, sculpture,
architecture, education and other
arts, but the fine art of living
together in peace and mutual
understanding and mutual help
fitness seems to have the atten-
ton of but a small part of our
people. Prejudice and selfishneSS
and segregation and exclusion of
minority groups seem to have too
large a place among us, Inter
racial, inter-cultural meetings
like this we have here today
should be held often so as to
promote good WILL" under
standing of each other" and
cooperation in the solution of
common problems"
We Christians have the best
program for living together in
peace and happiness and help
fitness to be found anywhere.
What we need to do is to use the
means at our hands. I want to
stress four Christian tenets.
which, if followed, will go far in
this direction. We MethodistS be-
heVe in a change of heart.
Nlchodemus was told by Jesus
"Ye must be born again." and
this spiritual change in men is
as essential now as then. And so
the first tenet I emphasize is
that of regeneration. Herald
Begbie in his book, Twice Born
Men" calls upon the church to
return to the teaching of this
doctrine. The second tenet is
that preached by the Apostle
Paul to the people of Greece ON
Mars Hill at Athens, when he
declared the unity of the human
race, God has made of one
blood all people to dwell upon all
the face Of the earth" We must
stress the kindredness Of men

''YOur Brothers Voice.

AMERICAN BROTHERHOOD
WEEK
February 1929, 194S
A native African taken from
the bush and dropped into the
midst Of a so-caIed civilized, in
dustrial city made a sharp OBJ
servation, Money has taken the
place of my brother" Money is
root OF all of mans inhumanity
to man. A consecrated use of
money is all right. How seldom
is it seen! Money as the goal of
all our strivings thwarts the
growth Of BROTHERHOOD.
Christians and Jews do we'll to
sponsor BROTHERHOOD WEEK.
Well all do justice to our better
selves if we give up orr inordi-
nate love Of money. What is rot
ten in our world and in ourselves.
generally, is our worship of the
GOLDEN CALF. To have money
is to be somebody. To be without
it the world considers us nobody.
Yet the great spirits like Soc
rates, Jesus, st. Francis and
Ghandi have been those who re-
neunced money. BROTHER
HOOD has little chance to thrive
among us as long as a man is
judged by what he can ring up
in the Cash Register. The re-
wards Of our society as now ex-
listing go to those who ring up
the most. The brickbat and dead
alley cats are hurled at those
who have nothing material to
ring up. This keeping at arms
length all who have no cash to
ring up shuts our bowels of COM
passion and denies us the friend
ship of some of the choice spirits
Of our age. How easy to exploit,
rob, cheat, prosecute those we
label as nobodies!
Brotherhood should embrace
all our relations, and in the ex-
ercise of it gain values higher
than the material. Where to be-
gin being brotherly is right in
our home circle and on our Jobs
and in our community. In those
narrow circles we will undoubt-
edly touch all the 81 varieties of
mankind. The opening words of
the International Bill Of Rights
are: "All men are brothers. Mrs.
Roosevelt thinks this is signifi-
The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1948-02-14

Our motto should be God our
Father, Christ our Redeemer,
Man our Brother"
The third tenet I wish TO
preach is that of cooperating on
a large scale for the common
good. The Apostle Paul told the
church at Corinth Eve are la
borers together with God" If
we could only muster the large
forces that engage in war and
other destructive efforts in the
interest of peace and security,
our world would be different.
The fourth thought is that of
following Jesus of Nazareth. AS
he walked by the Sea of Gallilee
He called to fishermen engaged
in common toll "Follow Me-" His
voice coii1es.over the centuries to
you and me Follow Me" Follow
Him in broadneSS of view, in SYM
pathetic understanding, in rec
ignition of the claims of right,
in service to the lowly and I'M
fortunate.
Here at Morgan Memorial, it
seems to me, you are successfully
doing on small scale what
might be done by many more
churches, to cultivate the fine
art of getting along together. 1
pray for time to come in Amer
lea whenevery person, regardless
of race, nationality, religion or
family will have the door of
opportunity open to him. BE
hold I set before you an open
door that no man can shut"

1t is to be hoped that all Am

for our society Of the recent SUI

so ruled against Miss Sipuel.
