Serious and delicate? These are things
on which the rights of American citizens
are built.
Also taking note Of the letter Of Publius,
among other aspects of the Tennessee stu
alton, Arthur Krock devoted his entire col
umn in the Dec. 90 issue of The New York
Times to involvement Of grave consttu-
tional questions He reports that "a num-
Der of well-qualified students of the Con-
stitution are taking growing and anxious
interest in the situation
The anxiety is long overdue. The emo
tionalism stirred against Southern racial
customs has obscured some of the basic
principles of American justice in the pres
sure on public schools. The Republic, al
ready shuddering from blows of the New
and Fair Deals, is in danger of topping
under the impact Of race reformers

Civil Wrongs

NORTHERN and mid western politicians,
~ of both political parties seem hell-bent
on passing what is popularity known as
civil rights" legislation. 1t is generally
conceded that senator's from the South Will
make impossible the passage of the leglsla-
ton by use of filibuster. Therefore, an at
tempt will be made to change the rules OF
the U. s. Senate which have been in effect
over half century, in order to curb I'M
limited debate and prevent filibusterlng
AS Congress opens lines will be drawn
sharply in the fight to change the rules. 1t
does seem a great pity that the representa-
tives of the people in his great nation must
be pitted against each other on almost geo
graphical lines, over socalled civil rights" +,
when so many important matters to the fu-
ture of this nation possibly this civiliza-
ton, need attention, and concerted action.
Clear heads and controlled tempers will be
needed to handle this situation SO that the
Congress can get along with its business.
Likewise, in the days to come the people of

the nation need to do some clear, careful
thinking on this and other domestic issues
which will come before this session Of Con-
gress
The pity it is that over-zealous parts
ans, both in political offices and out, are
determined to enact laws destined to furth-
err stir emotions which may upset forever
the race relationships in the South
Such will not be we'll for the South Pos
sibly certain forces will welcome Southern
strife. The South has progressed Industrial
ly in competition with other sections Of the
nation. We, of the South, of whatever race
will be wise to be OIL guard against those
who would make trouble for us, so as to
set back the prosperity which is coming
more and more to the South We know our
selves much better than anyone else knows
us. and we will make the bed in which we
must lie.
Let's be sure that civil rights do not turn
out to be civil wrongs

overlook the fact that they should make an
effort to join in family projects, and in
household projects, and in simple work
with them 50 as to develop that spirit Of
unity which is so conspicuouslv absent
from families who must remain divided or
whose members are so busy they do not
have much time with each other.
Watching television at home together is
not necessarily the answer to the problem.
ms rarely helps one member of the fam
lily to know the other better, or to develop a
sense Of loyalty and love by working with
nm toward some common goal.
With winter here, there are many indoor,
or outdoor projects, which could keep a
family occupied during the long nights of
cold weather and bitter afternoons and
week ends. Try to develop such program
and devote some of your free time to such
an endeavor.

Hobbies Unity Family

ONE Of the most rewarding home pur-
suits the average citizen can follow is
the development of hobby, or family pro-
ject, which enables him to enjoy the salts
faction Of having done something con
structive outside the realm Of his daily
work.
In the present age, when teleyiSion, NOV
les, automobiles and many other. luxuries
take so much time, the art Of finding
pleasure and satisfaction at home. in the
form of hobbies or projects. is sometimes
overlooked.
Yet, from family standpoint, the devel

tent is widespread, although it has not
come to the surface since the June, 1855,
uprisings, Nevertheless, there is a real
danger that trouble in East Germany may
break out at any time.
Western observers believe that West
Germany would have major task on its
hands in trying to prevent West Germans,
and perhaps many Government leaders,
from aiding East Germans should they
ever rebel against the Communist govern
ment of that stooge country. West Ger
many is low in NATO, and it should be
noted that if West Germany is involved in
any sort of war with the Communists, the
countries which are members Of the NATO
alliance might easily become involved
Therefore, one premise of Z. S. foreign
policy is said to be the consideration that
the Communists might be nearer going to
war now than they have been in some time
While this may prove to be incorrect, it is
a danger which must be considered and is
certainly sober reflection in these critical
days.

THERE are some in the State Department

Soviet Russia is closer to precipitatlng a
war now than she has been in recent years.
There are several reasons for this theory.
First and foremost is the fact that the
Russians are now undergoing a severe
strain as regards the maintenance of their
control over their satellite countries Re

Anxiety Over Courts

WE note growing concern outside the
South over civil rights of white persons
that may have been violated in contempt
proceedings in Tennessee. This concern il
belated but most welcome sign.
The Washington Star published long
letter from a lawyer who for professional
reasons preferred to sign his name Pub
lius.' his letter challenges legality Of con-
tempt proceedings before Federal Judge
Robert L. Taylor at Knoxville against l6
citizens of Clinton, Tenn. for alleged OBJ
struction Of justice. The Star in an editor
ial comment about the letter Dec. IS takes
note that serious and delicate questions
arise when a Judge, seeking compliance
with decree, undertakes to use his power
to punish for contempt against persons
who are not before his court and who are
not parties to the litigationsn question"

Viewpoints

Not only are the portraits dit
fcrent, but the viewpoints Of the
folr gospels are varied. Two fea-
lures OF Matthew's point Of view
will be evident all the way along.
One is that he tries to interest
Jewish readers. He quotes the Old
Testament more often than any
other gospel; he traces Jesus fam
lily tree back to Abraham through
the Hebrew kings (quite contrast
to the family tree given by Luke
To this day it remains ape Of the
best gospels for interesting Jews
in the life of Jesus The other fea-
ture is that while Matthew begins,
as il were. on the small stage OF
the Jewish people, he does not re-
main there The Christ who comes
first only as heir to the throne OF
David, is at last seen to have the
very authority OF God himself. Al

fereft, which is right? Most of the

raised here But there is room To
set down few notes on that one
question: What is the point of hav-
ing four gospels?
Gospels and Gospel
The conclusion to which the early
church came, and for which we
may we'll be grateful, is that there
is only one Gospel. but four Cos
pels, Adopted al very early date
we're the headings we still read:
The Gospel: according 10 Matthew
according TO MARYLAND SO on. The
gospels tell different stories, but
the story is still the same They
al bear witness to the same Christ
Just as in a courtroom trial it is
important If possible TO have more
than one eyewitness report of an
accident, it is valuable TO have
more than one report Of the life.
character and teaching Of Jesus.
But just as, in court, il would
raise suspicion if all the eye-Wit-
nesses agreed on all details, so It
would raise suspicion and be Of no
help if all our gospels agreed on
"Details. The essentials Of the four
gospels are all the same, and the
variations add to our knowledge
1t is plain that the early church
must have thought tina each gospel
had something indispensable or
else they would never have kept il.
Il should be remembered that our
four gospels were not the only ones
in existence. The early church did
a good job Of sitting as any one
can sec who Will take the trouble

Portraits
Not one Of the gospels is what in
modern times would be called a
"definitive biography" Of Jesus-t

would ever bother 10 investigate
further. They are not biographies
at all. They are not photogr apis,
they axe more like portraits. A

Interpretation. Mark interprets
Jesus as the mighty Son Of God
with power. Very little teaching is
reported by Mark--it is all action,
and rapid action too. Luke's por-
trait is of the broad humanity Of
Jesus, his sympathy with all men,
with women and children too, He
gives us Jesus, the IDEAL human be-
ing. Johns portr 1t interprets
Jesus as the divine Son Of God, in
constant touch and harmony with
The Father on high, doing the
works Of God and teaching the
truth Of God In other gospels
Jesus teaching is, so 10 speak, in
his own name. In John the reader
is never allowed to forget that 1t
is all the teaching of Coo Matthew
combines the wonder-worker and
the teacher in one portrait; Jesus
appears as the One with Authority
