VOL, XI?NO. 30. Bishop M. H. D Addresses 35 ??-? Christi City Auditorium, Philadelphia, Pa. p July 6, 1935. _ . I Christ In My Community s I purpose in the next twenty ( minutes to give you an idead of the social implications of the pow- h er of Christ and the Christian In- j stitutions in my community. fi ~ Definition ' ' 't By the phrase "The Power of t Christ" I mean the love of God. o By "Christian Institutions" I mean F those institutions established and t maintained under Christian influ- ? ences. _ By the term "community" h T ? il.A ?t. I!-- - it. ? k mean viiuau who live in ine same < locality and are surrounded by the same environments. In a lifited t u sense my community is the south- j ern portion of the United States in a particular, and the United States n in general. ' j : T In the Gospel recorded by St. P John, Chapter 3, verse 16 are the v following wbras: "For God so lov- v ed the world that He gave His on- a ly begotten Son that whosoever be- ^ lieveth on Him should not perish ^ but have everlasting life. "Love <which should exist between the v races of mankind is of great value. p It is said that the reason why love ^ is of so great a value is because s there is so little love in the world. Ether, a medium that is supposed n to fill all space, even that occupied p by fluids and solids, the scientists p say, may be condensed to a volume f less than that necessary to fill a t, " tea cup; yet they say there is less h love in the world .than there is eth- t er. 1^ Jesus' Christ the love of a God was all compact. His life in d the world soon convinced man that f He was the Son of God, full -of- -* grace and power. a . *" . i! Christ's Program 0 ' In riermon on the Mount He n annuonced that the Kingdom of J1 Heaven was at hand and gave the Divine Constitution for the right- 0 eoug government of the earth. * _ . This^serman is-said-to^be pure hrsr x and transfers the offence from the overt act to them motive. ; This was not acceptable to the j, ~JeWs who had reduced righteous to n a mere ceremony and the Old Tes- a tament idea of the Kingdom to a f y mere outward, splendor and power, d They should have known that on-. F ly the poor in spirit and the meek v could share in this kingdom. It is J always true that the poor in spir- i> it rather than the proud are bless ed. a This may not be acceptable to C many, who in our day profess the o love~bf God, but it is. law and not i a choice* It i?~ a fundamental e principle and not theory. It is a h few that rises above Einstein's ( theory of relativity like-the moun- v taips rise above the plains. These ? tirorn J - ? ^ ' ?IIVVI1CI IMIIILlfllfS ur IIC'IUU- cracy and the foundation of our !. institutions. Concerning flimself, He said," "I am the light of the ? world." And to His followers. ^ "Let your light so - shin?-- before ^ 1.- men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.'^,. It was not n necessary to organize a church, or- j, dain officials and to write sermons t for Christ to be seen, felt and j1 known. "Like the rising sun He r shines more and "more." His bril- v liant life has been recalled by His n Apostles and Disciples in biograph c ies and theologies. 1, The "Power of Christ in my K Community" is demonstrated bv .. the love of the Christian believers f; who form a part of the communi- ^ ty. The extent of this power is |j contingent upon the united efforts of the Christians within the com. munity for good. In a limited sense my community is Baltimore, (j State of Maryland and the south- a em portion of the United States. In the State of Maryland we { ', ,have a population of 1,631,526. p 1,354,710 are of European descent. ^ 276.379 are of African descent and j.] 977 may be classified as other rac- c es.^The City of Baltimore where I y( live, has a population of- 804,874: u -427^72 whites. ?Ne- T groes, 160,342 are mixed. , 74,410 r are foreipmers. These figures.rep-. ^ resenting these races bring us_fai^ -p to face with the prohlerrrrthat con- ^ __?frentrttfiT^world." How may one p live at peace with his neighbor? c How may these people live con- jj tent with small means? How may v these people seek elegance rather c, than luxury"? How may these ? people seek refinement rather than ^ fashion? How mav these he wor- I ^ thy, not respectable How may 7 they be wealthy, not rich? -?p ? Speaking of the church, Mary- f ?.. - land hag 2:883 Protpstant pV> According to the Statistical Ab- 8 8tracts of the United States Com- 0 merce Department of f934, there e are 52 Protestant denominations in the State. In the City of Bal- ^ timore there are 685 churches. Of n this ihla number 825 are White, \\ 226 are Colored, 75 are Catholic " churches ahd fiU are Jewish Synar a gogues. These, like many nations, re* n*' - I I . I ! avis >th ,c -sion ar . neavors ? && rent views.- These JI1S. 1'^e ^ie Greeks, ?: "Sir! We would sjpe .t is the duty of the Christ these denominations to i. co the community .the Son of lod full of prrace and full of glory. While Christian institutions ave exerted a powerful influence n the southern portion of the tinted States and the power of /hrist has been acknowledged and he effect of His love is seen, yet here is st+H a great need of the Id fire of consecration. President Lobert Hutchins, in an address to he graduates of the University of Ihieago a few days ago said, he ad no fear of their economic fuure. "I fear, for their morals." There has been much said about he NRA by politicans, priest and mists, duc mere is ong_t.hinir we 11 must admit: the 'NRA took nany poor girls and boys out of He factories and sweat shops and laced then in schools and colleges, /hile their fathers and mothers rere given,the opportunity to earn nd provide for them. With the IRA came many relief agiences .hich made many feel that " -hpind thg.se agencies was the Ron\)f rod manifesting . Himself. Along /ith the N"RA came to our sorrow erhaps our shame, the repeal of he 18th Amendment to the-Gontitution of the United States . It seems that in many instances t is difficult in my community and erhaps yours, to practice what we reach.. Floyd Tillerjr said he ound it very difficult to love all f his neighbors* or to lote any of is enemies. Instead of doing good o those who despitefully use you, nd loving those Who hate you, it oes seem that the contrary is the act. To many it is rather trouble rvmrt II..-. ' - ? A1_- 1 " i m me jusuy, ana unseltistily t all times. It is. almost impossble to record all mankind a? our wn. Tillery further says this is ermit ourselves to reflect the men, al honesty and loyalty of our own onduct we become poignantly a.rare of h<uv little genuine selfespect then i; w'C.i.i nn.remmii? ering how righteously we ranted esterday about such superfine hings as love, loyalty and equally, then turn right around in the larket place to despire, betray nd to discriminate. Who is suficient for all these things?. The eVout and consecrated Christian indeavor Workers, young and old, ,ho pray, as did our Lord, "Let 'hy Kingdom r-nmn on north m it ? in Heaven." When we can think of ourselves nd our fellow man as children of !od, we will have a greater sense f our- own. dignity and an increas ng resndcL.for?the?righta- of?otfirs. The power, of Jesus Christ as "been and is transforming the Immunity, the nation arid, the rorld. It has taken hold upon im gination of men and is" leaping Pom one social group to another, n earlier days it spiff th" Roman Impire and changed the thoughts f its army. It revitalized the hilosophy of the Greeks and pave new insight to the'teaichings of locrates. It was not long before the influnee was felt in the field of soci^ logy.- Man, thinking of the reitionship that shoulrb exist boween men. questioned the age old lstitutions of?slavery; divine ights of kings, child labor and ;-ar. Planting itself in governnent it soon blossomed into demoracy like the Republic of Switzerand, the Commonwealth of Enland and the-United States of Aficrica. His power entered the eld of education and- caused men o organize and develop the pubic school system.
