president Kennedy promised to
send a civil rights message to the
Congress shortly. He has kept his own
counsel as to its contents.
In an appeal to the people of the
nation Wednesday the President said,
eve face moral crisis, which cannot
be left to police action or mob action
in the streets. He hopes every Ameri-
can will stop and examine his con-
science"
President Kennedy is eminently right.
He shouidi propose civil rights legisla-
ton. In doing so he admits that the
attempt by the federal courts to legis-
late is spurious. Congress alone can
pass laws, with the effect of 1.-The law
of the land not the Supreme Court. He
has come around to our contention,
namely that courts can exercise judicial
powers only.
BY his action he admits that many
decisions of the T. S. Supreme Court,
which have been hailed as the supreme
law of the land, are nothing more than
Judicial opinions.
The second attempted reconstruction
of the South by judicial edicts and in
functions, has finally gotten through
to the north and the executive depart
ment. If there are to be laws, they must
be acts of Congress not decisions by a
supreme Court composed of men APP
pointed for life) executed by the mill
tary might of the executive depart
ment.

and the soul-searching advocated bv
President Kennedy could have been
avoided if the Constitution had been
amended in an orderly manner = as
prescribed by the document itself =
instead of attempting in effect to amend
the Constitution by judicial decisions
of the Supreme Court based on ques-
tionable sociological, historical an d
legal evidence and pressures by minor
lty groups appealing to racial instincts.

Justice

People who talk about the
separation Of church and state
often do not know just what they
are talking about. AS the found
ing fathers of America saw it,
there is danger in the posi-
bilty of the states supporting
one church or one form of re-
ligion against all others. T h e
trainers of the constitution had
seen some examples of state re-
ligionS and they did not want
to make the same mistake here.
However, it was not their inten-
ton to rule religion out of pub
lie life. These were the same
people who started the custom
Of inaugurating presidents and
other high officials with religious
oaths and public prayer. These
were the same people who adopt
ed the motto In God we Trust. +"
Justice is Demanded
In the view of the Bible, JUS
tice is not optional. When the
prophets spoke Of justice, they
were speaking of it as a require
ment. not optional but demand
ed. The prophet Micah speaks
of justice as one of the three
great requirements Of religion
along with mercy and humility
before God. Justice is woven in
to the Ten Commandments and
into American ideals. A m a n
dare not fancy himself religious,
he dare not fancy that he can
please God, if he is not just in
all his dealings, so far as he is
able. All forms of Christianity
have this (and much else, to be
sure) in common with one an
other and with the religion Of
the Jews: Religion and ri G h
conduct 60 hand in hand. Re
ligion that is genuine calls for
a life devoted to justice. This
does not mean that every man
is called to be a lawyer or a
judge. 1t does mean that every
day every person is faced with
some decision. perhaps many
in which he is tempted to be
unjust.

Justice is Defense

There is one very interesting
feature of the Bibles interest in
justice. 1t is hardly ever defin-
ed as simple fairness; it is more
often seen as taking sides. 1t
is the notion of some people,
though how they can think so is
a puzzle to any who knows a bit
of history-a notion that justice
so to speak is automatic. There
is something in the nature of
things that works toward JUS
tlce-So this idea supposes-so
that we do not have to try hard,
much less fight. for justice
Everything will come out right
in the end if you will just leave
everything alone! Of course, it
does not. Whenever injustice, in
any form, has passed away or
become less, it has b aus e
some one was bold enough and
strong enough, not only to speak
up for the victims of injustice,
but to stand up for them. Jus
tice, mentioned in the Old Tesla
ment so often, means taking
sides when one side is unfair
to the other; 1.-THE poor" 1.-The
needy" the oppressed" tn e S 2
words are common. The T e n
Commandments begin with an
introduction to God. II am a
just God" Rather. Il am the
Lord thy God who brought thee
out of the house of bondage"
God is the kind of God who is
everywhere and always on the
side OF the oppressed and against
those who do the depressing
Justice, if you believe in it. Of
ten demands that you fight for
it. Justice is defense.
Justice is Divine
Unjust people seldom think of
themselves as unjust. Every one
knows in his heart of hearts that
injustice is wrong. Every one
reSents injustice fast enough if
he is the victim; very few people
can see injustice being done
when they are the oppressors,
not the oppressed. Injustice has
many evil consequences, but it.
self is rooted in selfishness. In
the days when society was or
gained in the feudal pattern. no
body thought it wrong that the
serfs, at the bottom of the lad
der, were cruelty treated. mo
blemen' would resent, at
swords point. the kind of treat
ment they gave the serfs every
day. If you asked a nobleman
about this, he would have said
it was no injustice. he was 50
much superior that he deserved
superior treatment. If every age
those who battle for justice have
the equivalent of the feudal So
called noblemen against them.
There is one comfort for tn Z
fighter for justice: He may be
sure that the God who hates in
justice is on his side.
