Much Of Bryan Green's day on
Friday was devoted to speaking at
three schools = Milford, George
town and NlllSbOrO.
His assistant, Mr.. Frankham.
talked to the Laurel, Lewes, Reho-
both, John M. Clayton and Selby-
vile schools.
Canon Green brought somewhat
the same message TO the students
Of the three schools which he ad-
dressed.
He touched briefly on the inte-
grafton issue as he set forth the
different nations and races, though
all Gods children couldn't seem
to get along together. He said that
God loves one race as much as an
other, and remarked, Its not my
business to discuss your Negro sit
uation, but it presents a very real
problem when Gods children can't
get along together"
He gave specific illustrations Of
character flaws as. shown in the re-
latiOns between individuals, and
said, Eve ought to get along to-
gether but we can't because we
have these flaws of character
self-centered twist in all of us that
we call sin.
He told a story Of a man who
fell into deep we'll and the atti-
tudes of those passing by to him.
At last one man lowered rope
ladder and went down into the we'll
to get him out
He spoke Of the value Of the Ten
Commandments, the Sermon on the
Mount and the like and added,
But they won't get you out Of the
we'll"
He described how God came down
to earth as Jesus Christ to help
mankind fright down to where we
are"
IF we let him, he will take hold
of us and help us up so we can
make this world the home for Gods
children that he meant it to be.
In hts first talk of the day, over
the Milford radio station he built
his remarks about the slave girl
in the house Of Naman who had
kept her faith though in a strange
land and had not been embittered
even though taken in slavery and
said that the mark of the Christian
is gentlness and the absence Of Bit
terness, and a serenity that is
passed on to others.
In his second broadcast from the
Georgetown station he also refer
red briefly to the integratiOn issue.
I'm not going to enter into your
controversy, he said, "but unless
YOU are concerned about these IN
fortunate people who haze been
hurt. you aren't a good Chris ian"
This talk was devoted chiefly to
"good, decent people wilhout hui
man sympathy" He referred tC the
older brother in the story of the
PrOdigal Son as a "Dious kind of
nrig" and said that such neople are
"last" as we'll as some other types.
We're not Just animals or ac-
cuTuu1atiOns of atoms" he said
deep down in all Of US, we must
be in touch with Cod ]"
At the business mems lunch in
Grace Church Hall, GEORGETOWN, he
said that the church must go out
TO the underprivileged since they
cannot be expected to come to the
church. He told nOu in England
the church takes it's message into
factories and into the streets Of
the underprivileged.
