LIFE AT A
GLANCE
By RAY LAWRENCE

The Forty days of fasting and
praying are here. The opponents
of FEPC say it is not right to try
to legislate the thinking of peoples
minds. They admit that segrega-
ton is wrong, but they would adj
vocate an educational program to
bring the evil practice to the at
tention of people. That is all
we'll and good provided Christian
ity take the lead.
This corner would suggest that
every church in the nation take
the lead, on themselves to put on
a program for the advocation of
Civil Rights not only in this coun-
try, but throughout the world. If
Organized Religion is really in
earnest in the teaching of the
Man all of the Christian World
will give solemn reverence at the
end Of these forty days, it will
not hesitate to become vigorous in
such a program-in fact the initi-
ative should have been taken long
time ago.
The Church in this country is
one of the most powerful factors
today. 1t is influential enough to
stop the showing of any movie
that tends TO infringe upon sacred
rights. 1t is powerful enough to
put the brakes on an political it
deems a threat to the sacred pol
icies of the Church. Why then is
it not strong enough to influence
the minds Of all those who believe
in Christianity that All Men Are
Created Equal? Or, is the Church
practicing segregation and is not
in a position to advocate what it
is not practicing? Surely, there
is not any distinction made in the
teaching of the Christ. And if our
constitution is based on the prin-
ciples of the Christ, there is good
reason why these Forty days ought
to be memorable ones. Let the
Churches exercise their power in
the advocation of Brotherhood, and
all the struggle over the passage
of Civil Rights would not be nee
essary. Amen.
