VIEW Life is largely a point.., of view, What we do is conditioned by what people say. Each man is born ipt? a group with fixed ways and customs. dcty:sets-Tip by4ta approval ghd whaE t disapproves. This writer rcmem. >ers some customs he saw while visaing in Japan that would be tgfroo n America, but one does not have to ?'o abroad for illustrations. Each see-. lion of ur country, aijd each, majr religious denomination has particular attitudes toward life. The other day S'our scribe was passing a largaCath. olic Church. Posted on one of'the walls was a huge sign announcing a benefit for the church. The sign featured "dancing and card playing.'" Then a few hours ago while crossing a popular park on the way to church tJicre were spen ni many, aa fiftaan ball games in progress, to say nothing af model aeroplane races, cricket and Uow/lUoll TI " ??^ ? - - imuuuaii. i irese were anenaea t>y thousands. In many Southern states the recreation would not be permitted, and many churches would not tolerate the amusements ottered by the Mother Church. It is all in the point ov view of the different section and the denominations1__ Suffice it to say, Horatio, That a man is ignorant who would for one minute seek to cast, reflections unon the Roman Catholic Church. It is the mother of Christendom. Have totme leader in vour town, tell vou ahout the beginnings of the Catholic Church in America, and of the time when our land was a mission field for England.

Because \ the most part, will stay where \ to Jesus. It is a sin to play a recre- u ational game on SundaypJaut it is al- ^ right to lynch and burn a Negro on a the Lord's Day or any day. The ex- 1 ploitation, oppression and lynching of Negroes is a privileged question and * has precedence over all others. It is t right. y What difference does it. mfike Tf Q Negroes are oppressed ?

A GREAT NEED . jj One of the most pressing needs of g the present hour, Horatio, is for a set ? of religious^ leaders to liac np?a- ? mongst us and re-interpret the re- * ligion of Jesus to the Negro group, g As it is 'now,-we"-are being fed upon r. an effate, <worn-out, threadbare dog- ? matism, and traditionalism which we S have taken over from the other folks, t We- must arrive at the place where ? we will be able to think for our. f selyes.

He has achieved the highest of-fice of -his church.- Others aspired -I with him, bpt over five hundred delegates in Chicago in May expressed their wishes by voting for him. __ We' predict-for Bishop Davis a successful career and a life of much usefulness to his church and race. Already his achievement is an inspiration to the young mfcn of South Carolina of all denominations. Those ,-ivithih the fid vdll press forward in , service of the Master and Tlis kingdom.
