RACE PREJUDICE IN THE CHURCH

The Church debt of gratitude to the Rev. AL
ger L. Adams for the series of articles in the Witness
which he has pointed out the deficiencies of parishes
both in the North and in the South in giving leadership in
questions of relationships So far from leading
FIR Adams the Church has traled behind the state and
community in this important matter.
In instances, think FIR. Adams has under-es-
tmated the progress that has actually been made in
Church. 1t is small gain that all but of our do
have abolished separate Negro convocatons that
Colored deputies have been represent Southern
jurisdictions in General Conference that the Southern
seminaries beginning to open their doors to Negro
candidates. that of our leading Caheals has Negro
and another Coored trustee that large Eastern
diocese has included Negro priest it's standing
mittee and But it is true that the parish level
there is practical segregation in the North we'll the
South We wonder though whether this is fact which
Negro Churchmen, as we'll White Ones partly

What is most significant of all is that the Episcopal
church members from in which large percentage
of the community IS coored FIR Adams points that
diocese after diocese bandly reports eve have so few
Negro COMMITMENTS that there racial problem as if
that were something be proud Of instead of for
shame.
We think FIR. Adams findings and recommendations
deserve careful study both officially by Church people
generally We hope the series will be reprinted in pam
phle FORM and made available for general distribution
And pray that the Church will to its genuine on
portuny to extend its mission among people of all

Christmas is just around the
corner again. Since it is the season
when most people spend without
thinking, it should not hurt you
much to sit with paper and pen
Gil in hand, and to figure out the
difference between what you
want to spend and what you
ought to spend; the kind Of debt
you can afford to get in, and the
kind you can afford to keep out.
If you work that problem right
now, in the long run you will find
out that you were wiser than
your neighbor who plunged head
foremost" into debt in a mad eff
fort to keep up with the "Joneses. "
You viii sleep easier than she,
and you would not have to be
ducking and lodging later on
when the 'man" comes around.

Last week published editorial from the Allan

Wrong in Miami Election"
Paragraph stated that in 1941 Sam Solomon poled
5000 votes We knew this error but decided to
wait until this week to make the correction.
During the last ten years three Negroes have been
candidates for the City Commission and here the
Der of votes polled
In 1941 Sam B. Solomon 1888
In 1949 O. L. Nickerson 2,278
In 1851 John A. Diaz 1,845
is only fair to say that in 1941 had just about
half many registered voters have in 1851.
Considering the number of registered voters, and the
fact that of these votes cast by White friends
must agree that Somehing Went Wrong in the Elec
ton We have really manifested very little interest in
candidates.

THE SPECTATOR
WHAT PRICE POLITICAL
PRESTIGE
BY ELLIOTT J. PIEZI

"Let him that is without SIN,
cast the first stone" that we'll
known Biblical quotation may
we'll be applied to some of the
leaders in our national govern
ment, especially some of those in
the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
whose duty it is to see to it that
you and l pay our income tax, in
full and on time, to our Uncle
SAM"
Startling and almost unbelieve-
able revelations have been brought
to light recently on the corrupt
conduct in their own selfish be-
half of many of the nations most
trusted officials. Yes sir and yes
nam, these are some of the same
officials who would cruelty"
you and me for even a minor vio-
lation of the income tax laws of
this country. Day by day, more
corruption is being brought to
tight; and day by day more Off
Gals are being fired for various
major violations. This is a most
serious matter. One that should
command the attention of every
tax payer in this country. At this
time, it is not known just what
the ultimate punishment for these
offenders will be if they are
found to be guilty. But the eyes
of the tax payers of the nation
are wide open, watching and
waiting to learn just what is 60
ing to be done. If guilty, punish
ment of these offenders should be
swift and severe enough to make
it just reprimand for the crime
committed. Unless public rep
rimand, to the point of vital
condemnation is metered out to
the offenders in such cases as
have been brought to light recent
ly, the people of this country will
have a just cause to doubt the
Sincereness and honesty of many
of the men and women in whom
the destiny of national govern
ment is entrusted. A good "house
cleaning" is certainly very much
in order. Those officials who
would punish you and me to the
extreme for minor violations of
the law, might we'll take stock of
their own personal records before
pointing the Finger" at others.
