Sunday School Lesson The thoughtful student of today's lesson will make a mental and spiritual comparison between conditions existing in Israel at the time of Amos' message to her people, and those in our own country today. Israel was enjoying a time of peace and plenty; forgotten were the hardships, and the common bond those hardships had forged among her people. Some were rich, and some were poor, and the rich devoured the poor; they squandered their blessings in ways that were contrary to God's Covenants. Their relationship with God had become coarsened by their riches. They had lost their humility their sense of direction, their closeness to the Lord. In the days of Israel's trials and tribulations her courage and her stamina were taxed to the utmost. But undergirded by her faith — those same qualities were unquenchable. She was a hard core of purpose — God's purpose — and nothing could, vanquish her indomitable spirit. But with prosperity came a softening of the backbone of the nation, and (ultimately) transgression from the ways of righteousness and the keeping of God's laws. Today, as a nation, are we in danger of the same laxity? The article contained in our dailyl newspapers, on radio broadcasts, and on television, would seem to say that we are! What can dedicated Chistians do, to stem this deplorable state of affairs? Righetous living, as prescribed by God, is our only weapon — but what a telling weapons against the forces of evil it is! Sin is an unacceptable social behavior, in any day or time. It is a form of rebellion against God, and its inevitable progeny are injustices, intemperate living, an overt concern for material comforts, a false sense of security, and a growing unconcern for those in need. How sinful, in God's eyes, are we? God's messages, throughout the years, have called for repentance. He still demands it, today, if we are to serve him faithfully and well. Each individual must decide for himself; but — in making his decision — he cannot afford to ignore the lessons of history! For those peoples who have Set themselves against God and His covenants, have inecitably fallen from His Grace! Can we afford such a payment? Individually or collectively? Our security both as individuals and as a nation .... lies in a right relationship with God. To attain such a state we must be temperate in all things — not just obstaining from alcoholic beverages (which is usually associated with the ward "temperate' — but temperate in our ambition, our physical needs. Our responsibility to God end to mankind lies in good stewardship of our many blessings — money, courage, kindness, concern for all these are 'wealth". Spiritual values, to the dedicated Christian, are wealth, indeed, to be husbanded with care. For while misfortune can rob us of our money, is can only strengthen the spirit. As practicing Christians we must forget self, and demember and care for others. This is righteous living, approved by God. We can find, in this chapter, many guidelines for our personal lives, for the evils existing in Amos' time are not so very different as those existing today!

Book Urges Understanding Between Races, Religion THE UNFINISHED JOURNEY, a timely and inspiring anthology of 20th centaury literature which helps students view one of the most crucial problems of modern society — —the need for understanding among people of different race, religion, and nationality — was published today by McGraw — Hill. The book is the first of its kind for use in high school. English classes. Edited by Theresa Oakes and M. Jerry Weiss, THE UNFINISHED JOURNEY conveys through voces of the present and recent past, the tale of the long march of immigrants and other newcomers to privilege, as they move into the mainstream of American life. "This confrontation between the newly arrived and the comfortably enterenched has become the dramatic core of American life and is a recurring theme in our literature. The immigrant waves of Scandinavians, Germans, Jews, Italians, Irish, and others, over and, over again played out the drama of the dispossessed in conflict with the possessors," writes Theresa Oases. In the Introduction, Theresa notes that the cuttng edge of today's conflict is the Negro in our cities and rural areas, the poor of Appalachia who have not yet received the benefits of our affluent society, the Puerto Rican who seeks a place In the full life of New York City. As each minority group moves into the life and heart of the country, it disturbs the status quo and is disturbed by it, yet some how, each groupholds on, becomes the old stock, and becomes the character of the community. THE UNFINISHED JOURNEY tells the stories of people who have lived this uniquely American experience. This anthology evolved from a unique short story project conducted by Theresa Oakes for the Institute of Human Relations of the American Jewish Committee, which encouraged and supported the assemble of this present volume. The book is organized around three themes which give the reader an opportunity to discover a common core of ideas in ostensibly diverse experiences and to compare and contrast the presentations of a major human problem by different writers. The first theme, the Search for Identity — Who am I?, includes selections by Walt Anderson, G. K. Chesterton, Oliver La Farge, Arna Bontemps, Arthur Miller, Stephen Vincent Benet, and James Baldwin. Two stories deal with the inner reality of family makeup; three probe the, connection between the question and outside pressures on the family, and they show the influence of society on personality. The last two portray an America which is not static but always a nation in flux. Selections by Harry Golden, James Michener, J. F. Powers, Victoria Lincoln, Pearl S. Buck, Dan Wakefield, and Martin Luther King, Jr. expound the second Theme. The Long March — Where am I Going?. Through the stories is this section, we begin to see that the long march is a life jorney of many different Americans and that it is the differences of all these people that make up the rich cultural heritage of America. Prefacing the third theme. Roads to Understanding — How Do I Get There?, the editors Sty "The stories in this section are Works of art that transcend national borders and becomes the heritage of all men. Those three stories — two from South Africa and the Anne Frank Dairy, which came to us from Holland — are roads to broader understand ing. The affection that. Alan Paton demonstrates for his beloved country, the hope that shines through Doris Lessing's account of the proud Old Chief, the faith in human nature that Anne Frank inspires — these provide us with a vision and with hope that it is really possible for man to achieve a Brotherhood of Man." It has never been easy for any society to admit newcomers. It is difficult, even in a democracy, writes Theresa Oakes. But she concludes that although the welcome mat has not always been laid down for new arrivals, the fact is that all nationalities of people did come here, and they stayed here, "This is one of the things we cherish about America. The story is not over. All of us are participants in today's version of the drama. This literature records our hopes for the outcome." THE UNFINSHED JOURNEY is priced at $4.80.

Davis, a member of the Class of '67, the recipient of the "Scottish Rite Man of the Year Award," which was presented by Dr. Charles H. Wesley, Washington, D. C., grand prior. Developing his address to "Civil Rights in the 20th Century - Where We Are and Where We Need to Go," the attorney general noted that the trend has been in shifting of rural to urban living. "More then 100 percent of the population increase between 1950 - 1960 went to the city Urbanization is a fundamental fact of our time. The Negro pattern has moved from the country to central city, and it is estimated that some 2 million Negroes have left the south," he said. According to Mr. Clark this country can be proud of its record in civil rights during the past 15 years. "We have written more and done more than in any other time in history in the areas of education, equal job opportunities, public accommodations and voter registration through an orderly process of the law, but we still have Wiles to go before we can sleep," he declared.

Giving his attention to and opinion of "black power," Dr. Lewis referred to it as 'a reaction to what some activists in the civil rights movement regard as the failure of the integrationist ideal as an effective means for achieving "equality" for the American Negro at this particular period in the American historical process," He predicted, that "when all the fog bas been cleared and all the hysteria reduced, black power will be recognized for what it is, only another phase in the age-old, timehonored quest for a society in Which liberty, equality, and fraternity comes closer to 'being a reality than a mere dream."
