Pointing out that religion had ^ failed?to oeihiere?wudeews where I all men could enjoy the social L- and spiritual values of life, Cor tnelius Golighty, graduate stu dent at the Unfversrtv of Michi . ?

In this quest, he declared, religion had faced three frontiers. The?first frontier, he said, wo5 the physical frontier of nature where mankrmt.?faced with?fetrrturned to pagan gods and sought to appease them to this life secure. While the second frontier fail ~vd to solve the problem, man d?r veloped a new technique whicl -proved^ more adequate. This war done through science, and mar -mode?nature?serve him-.

And--then -men.?said Mr - -Go Ightly, tbegan to appreciate the .octal and spiritual" values, an this set him apart from animals 1 Ie began to realize the values ol goodness. Many people appreciate socia, and spiritual values ijh (life so * as they are ahie tt> understar the terms, yet we enjoy these /alues in many ways in our daily lives. There are thousands who hav ' Tilth" an"XTmfgTit yPower who" we call God, and to whom wo look with praise as we " "many blessings."

Many of our Negro educators it-tend thes.. ronferypyeS a r d take part in the discuessions. So far as T can gather froq? the newsnancrs "rtTFy seem fo accept tTiegeneral conclusions of these conferences regarding birth control. But I am inclined to the opinion that we must accept the doctrine of birth control with a "grain of "saTf." We must not forget tha' the general patterns pf these child weuare Gomerenoeo, itJte an or nir other patterns, educationally -ronom really, and politically, arc et thinking in terms of the white neople.
