The New Commandment

During our Lords last CONVEX
sation with His disciples He said,
"A new commandment I give unto
you. That We love one another; as
l have loved you. that We also love
another" Many people fail TO see
any difference between this new
commandment and the Second
commandment" Jesus gave to the
lawyer and which was found far
back in the time of moses and re-
corded in Leyiticus 1918.
When Jesus gave the New Com.
mandment He was speaking to
His disciples only. He was COM
manding them to love one another
with a very special love. such as
the very special love He had for
them. Think how close these men
had become to Jesus. Think how
He must have loved them, not as
a group only but each one as an
individual. He loved John and
must have found great Joy and
comfort in the depth of Johns
responding love-. He loved Peter.
and already knew that Peter, be-
cause of his impulsiyeness. would
deny Him. Yet Jesus loved him
and had already forgiven him
even before he acted. He loved
Thomas even though Thomas
faith was so weak that he would
be unable to believe the risen
Christ until he had put his finger
in His side wound. And so for
each, Jesus had a very special love
which included forgiveness, un-
derstanding. patience, and per-
sonal care and protection.
This is the way Jesus loves us
today, each of us with d very
special love. He commanded the
disciples, and us, to love one an
other in this way. BY one another
in this commandment Jesus was
clearly indicating the disciples
only. True, they and all mankind
were commanded to love theii
neighborsTall those with whom
they came in contact - as the,
loved themselves. But He com
manded His disciples to love one
another as they loved themselves
But He commanded His disciples
to love one another as He loved
them. What a difference!
This new commandment Il
binding upon us today. We, dis
ciples of Jesus, are commanded
to love all other disciples of Jesus
as Jesus loves us. If we thinl
this is hard to do, let us remem
Der how full OF error and failure
and sin we are in the sight Of
our Lord Jesus. Yet he loves US
And He commands us to love one
another in the Church = as HI
loves US.

To the Editor:
The Portland branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
wishes to thank the Oregon state
committee for fair employment
practices for the time and service
given in its efforts OF gain FEP
legislation in our state,
A new link has been forged in
the chain of democracy with pas
sage of the FEP legislation. Here
is notice to the world that de-
mocracy is for people to enjoy, re-
gardless of race, color, religion
or national origin.
Our branch also wants to COM
mend the members of the state
legislature who voted favorably
on SB. 235. The proponents of
SB. 235 are men and women of
real distinction who have proved
in fact that progress can be made
in the field of civil rights.
Our thanks, also, to all the
people who supported this bill
through their individual efforts.
Our state government can be kept
strong and truly democratic as
long as the people themselves
elect men who have courage and
faith enough to ensure and pro-
tect the rights of all citizens.
AS American citizens. may we
all be ever alert. ready. to unite
as one to protect and uphold the
democratic principles embodied In
the Constitution of the United
States,
Raymond Wilson.

SPORTS BusebuII
SAN DIEGO OPENS
SEASON IN PORTLAND

George Bertz. Journal Sports
Editor writes that-oyer the long
span OF years that Portland has
been represented In the Pacific
Coast Baseball League, the Beay-
ers' record in opening games
stands at the 500 mark, % vic
tories, % defeats and 2 ties.
The Beavers dropped to the
even-steyen mark by losing a 10
inning thriller to the San Diego
Padres Tuesday afternoon before
a record crowd that jammed
Vaughn Street grounds.
Going into the ninth inning
with one run lead, to 2, the
Beavers mentally and physically
tossed the game away. The mental
mistake was the failure of Marty
Krug to be alert ON Steve Mes
ners' bunt after Luke Easter, San
Diego's big 242-pound first sack
er, smashed a double into center
field.
l.. II. Gregory, Sports Editor of
the Oregonian, quotes Bucky Har-
ris, manager Pacific Coast League
on his rating OF Luke Easter.
From what / have seen of him
at work and his powerful hitting
to date, the temptation would be
strong to say, Yes. he'll make 1t, ;
but I'm not quite ready to do that
yet" he said. Its too early. I'd
want to see him for considerably
longer than the opening three
weeks of the season before stating
fatty that he has what a major
league first baseman needs. / will
say that the preliminary evidence
is strong indeed In his favor. He
hits as well as any man l have
ever seen, there's nothing fluky
about his hits and he has shown
me courage and resourcefulness at
the plate. His fielding is very
good. He's great hustler and
natural crowd pleaser. and seems
to have the right temperament.
AS, afore said, before definitely
committing myself as to his major
league caliber l must see him
longer"
Casters San Diego teammates
don't hare Harris cautious
doubts, nor, for that matter, does
his veteran coach from the
Majors, Red Corriden. "Say!" said
Corriden Sunday, wasn't that a
clout the big fellow hit Saturday
night! won't say he can hit
harder than Babe Ruth. but he'll
hit 'em just as far. That home
run Saturday they tell me was the
longest ball ever hit here, but in
the spring l think he hit some
that went even further. The big
boy really has it-and say, he's
witty, did you know that? He gets
the boys laughing in the club
house. though he never bothers
anyone They all like him." :.

Indt, IN ERECT, was tue Suthmo
ton Of a motion adopted by the
Portland housing authority COM
mission Thursday in pursuance Of
its program aimed at eliminating
high-income tenants from tempo
rary public housing here.
The motion. effective immedi-
ately., declared all future appli-
cants for war housing, except Co
lumbia villa shall be ineligible II
there is private housing available
at gross rentals not to exceed a
fifth of the applicants yearly In
come. Columbia villa was ex-
cepted from the motion because 1t
already is low-rent project.
The motion also included pro-
vision that exceptions could be
made in cases where application
of the rule would be unjust. A
later motion, however, declared
any special consideration must be
first referred to the authority
commission for action.
Utility Costs Included
Compliance with the request

rent billing, was made a condi-
ton of continued occupancy.
under the motion.
Early In the session, the COM
missioners considered inclusion of
a $4,000 maximum income as
top" but later decided the 20
per cent requirements would be
sufficient. The maximum salary
limitation it was indicated prob
ably will be set after returns are
in from the income survey of
present tenants.
The new policy was first con-
sidered by the commission at its
last meeting, largely because
large number of privately-owned
rental units are reported available
here at rentals ranging from SIS
to $125 a month, and because a
number OF high income tenants
were said to be living in public
housing.
Gross rental figures on private
housing will be considered in the
light of utility costs, 1t was ex-
planned. Utilities are provided In
the public housing, but not in
most private housing.

The launching to the annual
member ship drive of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People was
opened here Sunday. in connec-
ton with its 10th anniversary,
with the Rev. F. Benjamin Davis
OF Seattle as guest speaker. And
when the Rev. Davis takes the
rostrum for any occasion the ros-
trum is his. His message was a
grand narration of the NAACP
beginning at its birth 40 years
ago and coming on down through
the years, touching the high spots
to the present time. AS is known
the founders consisted both mem
bers OF the white and colored
groups. Coming to the summary,
the Rev. left no reason why every
free-loving American should not
support the organization, not only
with a contribution of two figures
but with three or more. The Ia
coma group was helped materially
by the coming of the Rev. Davis
and a vote Of appreciation was
given him.

chairman. I'VE feel happy to do
all that we can to replenish the
monies NAACP spent in defend

when or where the need may arise
next. and we must be financially
ready to meet the costs"
