I EARS AGO, as boy in Maine, stood in
the May moonlight beside glistening lake.
Suddenly, in the forest quiet as l watched
the moon-silvered waves and heard the winds
stir the tall pines, the solitary scene dissolved
in an ocean of light.
Behind, beneath and above = bursting
from trees, thicket, flowers, stones, waves and
star-clad sky -glowed light which envel-
oped and dissolved me in its beauty A
heart-piercing joy lifted me up; tremendous
new sense of happiness thrilled my being
even as it confirmed my youthful yearning

simultaneously the impersonal OBJ
ject on which they could safely
vent all their hatreds and frustra-
tons.
No brief review can begin to
convey the depth of the experience
Miss Smith makes us live, and the
compassion her understanding
arouses in us for all the peoples
of the south. How this woman
loves the land and the peop e
whom she depicts with such dew
astating bluntness and accuracy.
She develops her synthesis with
great power. This is one Of those
rare works that literally pours out
from a mind that has rondered
deeply and come to many conclu-
sions, without ever losing the
passion she felt for the subject.
The reader lives vicaciously the
southern experience ana sees now
in its senseless way it came to
make sense to people in that en-
vironment. The reader feels the
shame, the bombastic puritanism
that held all white women sacred
and drenched the atmosphere with
preoccupations of sexual impurity
and blackness and rape and re-
vival Christianity that merely re-
inforced these subterranean quilts.
White was the color of purity,
black the color of sexual violence
lurking always under the Chris
tan suppression. The re d er

mitted to full membership, any
who wish to worship should be
welcomed.
The basic position of the mod
crates was set forth in November,
1857, by eighty Atlanta ministers
who issued what came to be
known as a manifesto calling for
communication between the races,
maintenance of public schools and
obedience to law and the courts.
A year later 311 ministers and a
rabbi representing sixteen denom-
nations in the Atlanta area, issued
stronger statement along the
same lines, the principles of which
the Catholic Bishop publicly en-
dorsed. In many other Southern
states, ministers and church Or
CARNATIONS have published similar
assertions of principles.
The views of these Southern
moderates are, in every case, fully
in keeping with the official poll
cies of national church bodies. No
such organization Protestant,
Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox
or Jewish-today supports segre-
CATION in principles or practice.
The General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, after the U.
S. Supreme Courts school decision
in 1854, took a fortnight, official
position in support of it. In sub
sequent years it reaffirmed it and
firmly put down all attempts to
repeal that resolution. The Ma
tional Conference of the Methodist
Church has made similar at
firmation.
The Southern Baptist Conven-
ton - representing by far the
largest Southern denomination -
met in St. Louis in June, 1854,
and adopted a viewpoint resolu-
ton recognizing that "this Su-
preme Court decision is in har-
mony with the Constitutional
guarantee of equal freedom to all

ern lynching; he feels his own
mind close to the implausibility of
words uttered by Southern dema-
gogues who would defraud
whole race to win a point. He
sees the way social taboos de-
handed that one conform or risk
ostracization or violence from the
rest of the community. He sees,
not the hypocrisy, but the neces-
sity of delusion in order to con-
form socially: II learned to be-
ieve in freedom, to glow when
the word democracy was used,
and to practice slavery from
morning to night" The author
explains that one lived the de-
fusion "by closing door after door
until ones mind and heart and
conscience were blocked off from
each other and from reality"
But the delusion could not be
sustained forever. as much as it
had become an addiction to the
sOutherners. While he ragged and
struck out wildly, a few like Lii
liam Smith began to warn that the
world was in crisis, that the world
watched the us. and saw the
great shame of the dream being
murdered - and in their disgusts
threatened to turn world forces
against us. We had no more time
for this self-indulgence, she said.
And she noted the essential trag-
edy, that in depriving others Of
their liberties, we ended up SUBJ
verting our own; that the same
processes that allowed us to warp
and distort the lives of Negro
children. The demagogue at home
and in Congress played the game
he called everyone communist
who dvoc e d the essential
American principles of equality,
justice, liberty - the "inalienable
rights of man." And he was be-
ieved. These super-patriots did
the work of the communists bet
ter than the communists could
possibly have done it, by branding
as Communists" everyone who
stood for justice, land giving COM
munism credit for every brave,
intelligent, decent act done by a
southerner."
The typical southern racist's
cry has been that no one from
outside the area could under
stand" the problem. 1t has be-
come increasingly clear that the
South itself does not understand
it. And this is part of the inn
measurable value of this work.
Certainly, wherever there are
men of good will, Miss Smiths
work will be welcomed with graft
tude, for it lets all of us see that
we have looked with too much
and too much parti-
san heat on an immensely COM
pick and tragic problem.
All of this would be enough,
but it must be added that Miss
Smith here shows herself not only
a first-class thinker but also a
first-class artist and literary styl-
list. In its own way, this is a
work of art, distilled, beautiful
and profoundly moving. - JOHN
HOWARD GRIFFIN.
