Wildmon Strange, sometimes, is the way history turns. And it turns like we humans make it turn most of the time. Too many times we learn bitter lessons from history. There is one on record that it might do well for us to recall. In 1952 a probation officer in the Bronx of New York tried to find an adoption agency for a 12-year old boy. The man who was hunting the home for the youngster was named John Carro. He searched for an ag ency to take the boy. But he faced a problem. The boy was Lutheran. New York law said that Cath olic, Protsstant, and Jewish agencies could not take the boy. Mr. Carro faced a losing fight in trying to find a place for the young lad. He told the story later. “When I was a probation officer in the Bronx in 1952, 1 tried unsuccessfully for a year to find an adoption agency for a 12 year-old Lutheran boy whose mother was ineffectual and whose father was dead,” Carro said. “His case was re ported to me because he had been truant,” he continued. 'All he wanted to do was to stay at home and watch tele vision instead of going to school. Because of the religious matching problem, I couldn’t get him into a Jewish institu tion, I couldn’t get him into a Catholic institution, and I couldn’t get him into a Pro testant institution. Before I could do anything for him, the mother had taken him out of the state.” You know, we humans have a way of making some pretty silly laws when you boil it all down. And most of the laws like this one can be pinned down to someone’s narrow pre judice. Our hatred often goes far beyond ourself in affecting the lives of others around us. Sometimes our hatred drastic ally affects people we never see or never know. Our world would be a much better place to live if we could rid it of our prejudice and hatred. We would like to have all those things happen but we sometimes want to hold our narrow little hatred also. We want to have our cake and eat it too and any first grader knows this can never be. There was a Man once who lived in an obscure little village that we know as Nazareth who tried to get us to rid ourselves of prejudice and hatred. He tried hard to get us to do that. It has been about 2000 years since He ended up on a cross in his efforts to end hate and prejudice and replace them with love and brotherhood. If we had put His way into practice we could have found a home for that 12-year-old. And finding that boy a home might have changed history. You see, that boy’s name was Lee Harvey Oswald.
