There is a world OF difference

Between The Lines .
IS MODERATION THE WORD?

Once upon time Richmond
had a mayor who was pronounc-
edly anti-Negro in his sentiments
and policies. So consistently and
persistently did he oppose mea-
slIres which promised advance to
Negroes, that this writer began 10
oppose him on general principles.
When any political issue arose,
this writer waited for His Honor,
The Mayor, to take sides and one
was assured in advance that there
was nothing for Negroes in the
side that the mayor took.
Accordingly the writer always
chose the opposite side to that
taken by the mayor. Thus on gen.
eral principles the mayor was op-
posed all down the line. The fact
that the mayor asked the writer
to represent him before the annual
Elks conclave which convened in
Richmond some years ago when
the mayor found it impossible to
be present, made no difference in
the stubbornesS with which this
writer opposed the mayor.
It was along this general prin-
ciples" idea that we were ire
mendously afraid that Adlai
Stevenson had made a fatal blum
der when in his California s;eech
of some weeks ago he spoke OF
moderation" as the course that
was wisest to pursue in the matter
of school Indignation. His modera-
ton course pronouncement met
the approval of the Southern con-
stituency invariably, and it was
this approval we feared would
ALLEVIATE the Negro and liberal
white vote. AS soon as the writer
noted how the moderation speech
was hailed at the South, he by
his general principles" standards
began to adjudge Adlai Stevenson
as selling out to the reactionary
and die-hard Old South.
There was room for suspicion
when the Old South rose IN end
said "Amen" to a candidates
announcement on such briStling
question as indignation. Naturally
this writer thought Adlai was
bidding too high for the southern
democratic support in the COM
a few weeks we have had
reasons to reappraise and re-
evaluate Stevenson's modera-
ton statement. In some ways
the Supreme Courts decision
presupc osed a moderate sourSe,
otherwise, it never would have
advised recourse to the lower
courts. In other words there was
inherent in the decision itself
sentiments that would have adj
mitted of a moderate course. OF
course if the Supreme Court
meant moderation it meant mod
Grafton, whereas the recalcitrant
South meant negation instead of
moderation.
That is why the Negroes were
afraid of Adlai's moderation line;
they feared it connected the same
thing as gradualiZm which to the
Negro means gradual and to the
Old South white man, never. Mod
GRAFTON again is suggested in the
social processes which are never
instantaneous. So instead of try
ing to play the politician, Steven
son might have been speaking as
a statesman. Negroes are so hard
pressed and so hungry for first
rate citizenship they fear the
words gradual and moderate"
may mean "never."

her pastor about her approaching
wedding, asked that the word obey"
be stricken from the wedding cere-
mony. Pressed for reason for the
request, the young woman said she
just did not like the idea of being
pledged to "obey" anyone. She was
astonished, almost indignant, when
her pastor questioned the sincerity
OF her love for the young man she
was to marry. Real love is willing to
forget self in the interest of the
beloved, and one who is afraid to
pledge oneself to this is not assured
of his own love or the love of the
, other party. If we love God, we
will love to do his bidding.
Real love for God begets love for
others. After all, the only way we
can show our love for God is
through serving our fellow men. All
the loud protestations in the world
OF our sincere love for God will not
help the world-Only when we put
our love to work in helping better
conditions around us, so that Gods
children may live in a better world,
will we be showing our love for God.
John recognized that, if we are to
have faith in God, we must evidence
for our faith. Eighty times in his
writings he refers to this idea of
witnessing. John points out the wit
ness of the Holy Spirit, coming
from God. and says that one who
believes not Gods testimony Glass
ifies God as a liar.
The message given to man by the
divine witness is the gift of eternal
life. This is the message of the
Christian gospel" declared Rev.
Robert Law. 1.-THE greatest. gladdest
of all messages because eternal life
is the greatest, gladdest, and best
of all things. Eternal life is not a
life hereafter, not future and dis
tant felicity, not a crown to be re-
ceived at the end, but a present
reality, and immediate possession.
IL Is not primarily length of life
but a kind of life. the highest quality
OF life, the life that has in it all
the sovereign elements-knowledge

made, life that is eternal, inexhausti-

In these days fraught with the
ever-present prospect of complete
destruction by atomic weapons, man.
kind is in dire need of assurance
assurance of security from physical
destruction and assurance of a
better life to come.
One of the major emu .hases in
the first epistle of John is on Christ
ian assurance. These things have I
written unto you that believe In the
name of the Son of God; that We
may know that we have eternal life,
and that we may believe on the
name OF the Son of God" Through
out the letter are statements setting
forth evidences of a genuine ex-
perience Of salvation and the bases
for spiritual assurance.
AS suggested In previous
lesson, when John the Apostle wrote
these epiStleS, he was probably a
very old man.. As he came toward
the end of his long life, he was
confronted with many difficulties.
There were many about him, who
while processing to believe in Jesus
Christ, were teaching mixture of
Christian truth and pagan philos-
ophy. John realized that if their
attack on the person of Jesus sue
ceeded, the basis of Christian faith
would be imperiled.
AS one writer points out, too many
Christians try to measure their
religious experiences in terms of
feeling. He declares tina tour feelings
are too unreliable too variable, too
dependent upon ourselves and our
circumstances. Our assurance OF
Christian salvation can rest upon
the fact of Christ, the fact of Gods
infinite grace, the fact of Christ's
promise to receive, and save, and
keep, all who receive him as their
Savior. And this is the only basis
for any assurance at all.
How can we know that we are
sayedp Certainly, not by our super
ior knowledge, not by our perfect
living, not by our professions, but
by the confidence that we love
God, abide in Him and He in us
through the Holy Spirit. Then, and
only then, can we say, with Paul,
Il know whom have believed and
am persuaded that he is able to keep
that which have committed unto
him against that day" G Tim. l:12).
What are some of the evidences
of a genuine experience of salvation
and the bases for spiritual assur-
ance? Among these, we find obed-
fence to Gods commandments love
for others. victory over sin, habitual
uprightness. the witness of the Holy
Spirit, and faith in and confession
of Jesus as the Son of God.
Obedience to God! How we of this
generation dislike the word obed-
fence. A young woman, talking with
