President Truman issued a state

Lord for guidance and other words
to that effect. He even set an ex-
ample by attending church services
himself last Sunday morning. This
writer has always admired Mr..
Truman for his straightforward
ness, his determination to stand by
his convictions and his ability to
give EN- hell in general. but we
simply cannot over look the fact
that only in time of distress do
we claim faith in God. We wonder
why MIR. Truman. il he is in ear
nest, did not see fit to open each
meeting of the U. N. with a pray
er. Maybe il would not have failed
so terribly. We creatures of the
world bungle ourselves into disas-
ter and then begin crying out to
the heavens above. We allow the
south to misuse the Negro, who Is
no less than a human being, yet In
times Of distress, we beg for the
same mercy, understanding and
tolerance we failed to administer
to our own countrymen. No, we are
not necessarily on our soap box
and we are not preaching a SER
mon, but we certainly disagree
with those demagogues who state

I cause God Is on our side. We will
come out on top, all right, but
