What Is Your Christianity Worth?
EASTER 1860

AS approach another Easter season. we are face
to face with the great problem of all ageswhat is
way of life? What have done to express it in the
terms-the only terms which use-of service to
others?
To those of us to whom our religion is vital force
Christianity spells obligation 1t is not just ritual The
ritual is merely the expression and the remainder of the
principle back of it. The Christian way of life is the
way of love- the way of brotherhood person has only
much Christianity he has love- and no more read
once, and it is true
The soul knows no race or creed or color. Thou
shalt love thy God with all thy heart" the first
is like unto iThous shalt love they neighbor thy
SELF" On Gods side all brothers.
This is the basis of Christianity We know it, We
taught as children no matter to which church we
went, but too often we have kept it Sunday-creed-
not rule of life. We did not apply it to neighbour
to the stranger within gates to those who wor-
shipped or thought spoke in different than
did we.
If we had ever tried Christianity as way of life,
there would be poverty insecurity respondent
and desparing people: Ours was the task, ours the
What is your Christianity worth?
Unless it put to practical application in your daily
life it is not worth anything We Christian nation
and it is task to live up to all that that implies
Only by practising brotherhood individuals and as
nation, we make democracy succeed and bring to
reign on earth the peace of the King of Kings.
There is paragraph in prayer written by Major
perfectly expresses this thought:
Great God, our Heavenly Father thank Thee
for Thy wisdom and light and for unlocking the secrets
for this Thy world We beseech Thee to give wisdom
to control that which we have devised.
Give us judgment, understanding and concern for
our fellowmen that the product of ingenuity may
not destroy become our MASTER and that the dig
nifty and protection of the individual made in Thy i'm
age, may be our supreme interest >:

Channeling The Blow

BY poice-state methods South African authorities
are reported to have smashed the work boycott by which
Africans were trying to defeat the pass-card law What
ever the Qualifications for this law may once have BEEN
they ecipsed for African and for world opn-
ion by the abuses perpetrated in it's name.
1t can be said that, with Africans living in COM
pounds and permitted into urban areas to work for
white people the cards protection for natives who
have established themselves in employment The pass
system prevents unidentified hordes from invading the
urban areas.
But over the years the system has operated to ex-
pose Africans to arrest neary 100000 being arrested
in one perod) for the most minor infracons
OF rules and to be allotted to white employers in order
to work off their fines.
And there is even more to African discomfort with
pass cards than this The cards now identified with
regime which has been curtailing African rights since
1947. Oo
Although the work boycott now appears broken the
effects of the crisis it produced have remained con-
siderable white opinion in South Africa mostly of Brit
ish background, already opposed apartheid To this
there now has been added strong body of Africans
opinion.
=, Being out of step with developments throughout
the rest OF the continent South Africa will almost
y have to change direction in the near future White op
ponents OF aparheid have become emboldened to ask
even for government talks with African leaders, some
thing that would have been thought fantastic few
months ago.

Glowing. 1t may-it must-be channeled by compro-
mise II even more dangerous storms to be averted

DECISIVE ACTION NEEDED
TO avert RISING J0BL ESSNESS

"The problem Of unemployment
will assume far greater proper
tions in the next 10 years unless
decisive action is TAKEN" warned
a politically-explosive report filed
with the Senate by it's Special
Committee on Unemployment Prob
lens.
The committee headed by Sen.
Eugene ]. Mccarthy Mimi split
along party lines as the Demo-
cratic majority proposed a wide
range Of federal programs which
the Eisenhower Administration has
vetoed or opposed.
The 12-point program ranged
across federal activities and poll
cies to achieve an increased rate
of economic growth and maximum
employment, aid for distressed
areas, federal jobless pay stand
ards, standby anti-recession legis-
ktion and m end to job discrimi-
nation.
In raising the threat Of higher
unemployment levels, the report
pointed out that after each Of the
last three recessions, the rate of
unemployment was higher than it
had been before the recession"

SOCIAL SECURITY
Social security benefit payments,

Social security benefit payments,
IN many cases, represent the great
est or only source Of income to
retired workers and their fami-
lies. Most Of as know this, but
many Of as think Of social secur-
ity ~ . program exclusively for
these older workers and their fam
lilies. Actually, about 1 out Of each
10 people receiving monthly social
security benefits are the survivors
Of workers who have died. These
survivors include widows over 81,
children under age 10 and disabled
children, young widows with minor
or disabled children in their care,
dependent widowers, and depend
emit parents. The case Of young
Alice Barton and her children,
Nancy and Tommy, is . typical
and interesting example Of how
social security affects the fami-
lies Of workers who die.
Charles Barton, Al1ce's husband,
was. killed in IN automobile acct
dent last spring while driving home
from work. Soon after Charles
death, when the initial shock Of
the tragedy had worn off, Alice
began to give thought to the
rather grim question Of how she
was going TO support herself and
The two children. Charlie had WISE
y taken out . life insurance pol
icy after he and Alice married,
and had increased the amount Of
his insurance altar each child Was

Cry The Beloved Country

Yesterdays attempt on the life of Prime Minister
Verwoerd of South Africa tragically dramatizes the
deep emotions which Alan Patton author of Cry the
Beloved County, describes in todays issue of The New
York Times magazine. If there is any comfort in this
senseess and personal violence it is that the would be
assassin is white man and not Negro. The racial
situation remains but it is not directly intensified
AS one feels pity for a wounded man, whatever his
political opinions must also feel compassion for
wounded country, and South Africa is indeed wound
ed country 1t is badly hurt that it control three
quarters of it's population only by violating guar
antees which go back as far Magma Charta
1t is this dazed and wounded country that is unan
mously condemned by the House of Commons, and can
only reply that foreign newspaper telling lies
about it. 1t would be hard to tell any lies that
damning than the proclaimed facts about the segre-
gationist policy that is called "apartheid"
We in this country have not achieved Utopia in race
relations. Yet, the Senate vote the civil rights
bill indicated there is strong drive among to deal

must also hope that there will be healing process in

being an outcast among the nations of the world.

be far from enough to completely
support the family till the children
were grown. It would be almost
impossible for Alice to work, since
the children required her care at
home.
But what about social security :?
After all, Charlie and his emloyer
had been paying into the social Sc
curity Trust Fund ever since Char
lie first started working ten years
ago. The next day Alice called
at the social security office, tax
ing with her Charles social Sc
curity card, her marriage ,certifi-
cate, and the birth certificates for
Nancy and Tommy. A claims rep
resentative ct the office assisted
her in completing an application
for benefits for herself and the
children. This social security rep
resentative told Alice that, based
on Charles average monthly earn
ings Of about $500 per month 1T
the factory, she and the children
could receive about 1910 each
month from social security until
Tommy, the oldest child, reached
10. After that, Alice and Nancy
would continue to receive about
1857 per month till Nancy was IS.
In addition, Alice would receive q
lump-sum death payment Of 3265
to help pay Charles funeral ex-
penses. After both children are
over age 10, no more benefits
would b payable TN Alice reached
