The Hired Man

Some hre6 mon arc stable mem
bers Of the community They con
tribute to it's welfare in various
ways besides doing their Jobs we'll
But there are workers who drift
about, sometimes in large numbers
Last winter many thousands Of
migrant workers were stranded In
heatlcss sheds in F'loridas sensa-
tonal cold spell Their work was
gone. they had no place to live, no
hope Of earning anything until
crops farther north began to ripcn.
Such workers are another minority
group. They do not stay in any one
place long enough even for the
children to get started in school
If one Of them dies it will be hardly
mentioned in the paper Whatever
happens to them. many respectable
people think. ooh. it's only one of
those tramp workers"
Does your community give any
KIND Of recognition or help to
migrant workers? DO cotton pick
ers, bean -pickers. summer hired
help. have any place to go in your
community? Do Christians have
any responsibilities for them?

Among the reasons for this fear
are the following

$12 billion This will be the largest
peace time deficit in history and, 1t

The Disrespectablss

Everybody is a sinner. But some
people are outrageous sinners. and
they are another minority. A pes
simist might say that you have to
be pretty outrageous sinner to be
worse than average enough to be
noticed. Such were the tax collec-
tors or "publicans" OF the New
Testament They were "bloodsuck-
ers" and everybody knew it. For a
present-day Christian, the minor
ity corresponding to these sin
ners" would be the classes the
church generally gives UP. washes
its hands Of, forgets: boys in re-
formatories, for example, men in
the penitentiary. ex-convicts. Jesus
was accused Of having too much
to do with such people Is your
church more like Jesus, or more
like the Pharisees, in its attitude
toward them?

No Lines Drawn

No Lines Drawn
We have minorites outside the
church. What about minorities in
side it? Does the church have
second-class members as certain
states and countries have second
class citizens? ? st. Paul mentions
what were then the sharpest lines
dividing men from men-Jew from
Gentle, slave from free man, male
from female; and he tells us such
lines do not belong in the Christian
church. They should never be
drawn. Any church setting limits
or qualifications to its member
ship which were not drawn by
Christ and his apostles, raises at
once fair question: Is this any
longer a Christian church?
