God" And all our resolutions,
petitions, strategies, all our hui
man engineering will fail If we
miss that simple point. We are
tertium genus-the third race.
The Christian message on race
Is that race is irrelevant-that
ours is a kingdom which asks
no questions except one and that
has nothing to do with color or
caste but only with redemption.
1t would be ironic if history
should prove that the present
racists contributed more to the
total company of the redeemed
of all times by forcing us to re-
examine the gospel than all the
present righteous ones. God
does indeed work in mysterious
ways.
And remember, too, that a
man had two sons. The church,
through her pronouncements.
resolutions and statements, has
said, II 60, Lord" But have
we gone?
Well, all have tried to say
Is that we have failed in our
message on race insofar as we
have failed in our message on
redemption.
Now. of course, the obvious
converse of what we are saying
about the message of redemp-
ton is the often neglected mes
sage of the judgment of God.
Redemption has meaning pri-
marily in terms of judgment.
Agreat deal of our social action
has the wrong subject and OBJ
ject. The suffering of the mi
nority does not stand between
him and his God, though God
is certainly concerned with his
suffering. Amos never pro-
claimed that the judgment OF
God would come to the North
ern Kingdom because people
were suffering. Rather Gods
Judgment was to come because
others of his children were caus-
ing them to suffer. In any con-
Germ for social justice the soul
of the dispossessor must concern
US as much as the suffering of
the dispossessed.
But our weakness is that we
timidly proclaim the message OF
redemption and alphabetically
proclaim the judgment Of God.
"A preacher of the deep South
had labored long and hard with
his middle-class and lily-white
congregation about their rela-
tionship with all men. For many
years he had pounded the pull
pit in his proclamation that God
had created all men, loved them,
and made no distinction be-
tween them. Finally there came
what was inevitable from the
beginning -a meeting OF the
governing body Of his church
which decided in the finest
democratic tradition that it was
clearly and unequivocally the
will Of God that the beloved
pastor move on to richer fields

Ring In The New Year
Officials Deny Report
Vatican To Launch Fleet

1.-THE recently published story
of an American news agency
which says that the Vatican
has everything in readiness
for the creation of a fleet is
entirely without foundation"
"We cannot conceive of any
so-called Vatican source re.
leasing any such information
honestly and seriously" they
said.
When told that the news
agency in question had re-
ported that everything for
the creation of a fleet was
ready except for one final
detail" a high official laugh
ngly replied:
THAT is true. Everything
is ready as far as the rights
of the Vatican are concerned.
The one final missing detail
is the ships and their crews"
The rights of the Vatican to
create a fleet were establish
ed by publication of the de-
cree of the Pontifical Commits
sion for the State of Vatican
City concerning maritime
navigation under the flag of
the State of Vatican City, is
sued on September Is, 1851.
The decree was issued over
the signatures of His Emin-
ence Nicola Cardinal Canali
president of the commission,
and His Eminence Giu-
seppe Cardinal Pizzardo, a
member of the commission.

1863 summed up the princi-
plies of the Catholic counter
Reformation to the Protestant
Reformation.
He said that a new inter
probation of the Council of
Trent is necessary, especially
on the controversy over Scrip
ture and tradition. He add
ed:

know to be tradition. The
question is up for reinterpre.

NEW Y0RK-(NC) - New
York State Catholic War Vet
Grams have asked the New
York City Committee on Inter
group Relations to investigate
alleged anti-C Catholicism in
student publications al Queens
College, a unsupported in
stitution.
The veterans organization
urged the anti-bias group to
take such action as will bring
about remedial measures and
call TO account those directly
responsible for publishing of
fensive material.
The Catholic War Veterans
objected specifically TO a poem
appearing in the December,
1858, issue of a college maya
zine called New Poems and to
articles appearing in the No
vember 4 and December %,
1859, issues of a magazine
called The Phoenix.
The veterans described the
poem as "obscene and Sacri-
legious." They said one of the
Objectionable articles contain
ed anti Catholic bias and OBJ
scene illusions" while the
other included ~"inflammatory
references to tho Catholic
Church"
After earlier protests, dis
tribution of the issue of New
Poems containing the contro-
versial poem was suspended
by Associate Dean of Students
George Spitz. He cited a col
lege regulation f%orbidding
publication in school maya
zines of material which is "in-
decent, libelous or in bad
taste"
His action was upheld by
Queens College President Har.

offensive to the sensibilities
of many people within and
outside the college"

COmmunIcantS
Make Hosts

BRISBANE, Aust -
(NC) - School children here
helped by acts OF self denial
and prayer to make the hosts
which they received at their
First Holy Communion.
Since April there were two
glass jars in each child's desk
at the school at Coorparoo.
One contained wheat, the
other was marked with a pic
ture Of a host.
For each act Of self denial
or extra prayer said a child
placed one grain of wheat into
the Blessed Eucharist jar. A
significant act of self denial
allowed the child to transfer
five grains of wheat.
Just before First Holy Com
munion day the wheat was
collected and made into flour.
The six pounds of flour was
made into hosts used at the
First Communion Mass.

in Ferrara, Florence and
Rome, and effected a short

Orthodoxy in the pre-Protes-

Enthusiasm Undamped
But the years have not taken
from Mr.. Coale his enthusiasm
for his work.
There are more opportun-
tiles for ministers today" he
said. There is always some
thing to do"
A shar pdifference between
the minister of 1860 and his
counterpart Of 1910 lies in the
numerous community interests
he has now.
Ministers today are con-
cerned with the world about
them as we'll as with the world
beyond" Mr.. Coale observed.
"a pastor these days cannot
shut himself away from the
community in which he lives
and its concerns, and the more
he is concerned with the things
going on the more interesting
they become"
Preaching Different
Preaching styles have also
changed. he noted. A half CEN
tury ago the ministers preached
longer and with comparatively
few references to contemporary
affairs. Today. he pointed out.
the message is briefer and
more on current matters.

Dickinson College and Drew

with affection several great
Washington and Baltimore
preachers of the period-Don
