Lyman, noted theotogian, educator and author, was tdded to the growing national senliroeni against racism as the pro______ minent writer condemned race feeIhig as one of the prime cauies of IUQ?> f Uin ??! In a digest of talks delivered before the student bodies of Livingston and Catawba Colleges, Dr ^^Lyman grouped race feeling wit! ^^Frjationalism and imperialism as a menace to world peace and international brotherhood. He proposed : postwar federation of nations B? jnder international administrative Christians to eliminate these bar. I >4ers to a permanent pcaco, dcclar Ing that all three are incompatible with the very principles of Christ * ianity and democracy. Listing race feeling as a problem ! which "works devisivply in mndevr .life," Dr. Lyman called for unite< Christian effort to eradicate con fiderations of i&cc as a dcterminh ' ative factor in national ami international relationships. "The race feeling is unscientific, but vcr> l?o\veriui. rsut Christianity in .its very origin was the very- opposite of race feeling and if democracy is to prevail, race feelings must bt ever. The Nazi doctrine exalts the idea of a master race, but we fee, ? that it is hostile to the very prinriples of democracy." Dr. Lyman asserted that, the do naocracies of the western world nt . less than the dictatorships have upheld racism, nationalism and imperialism. He warned that we musl temake our political life "so as tc advance and not frustrate thn idaa of world brotherhood. We musl make democracy safe for the world." . . ?i??Christianity- must^grapplc wit! ?-? JLhesc ciiusso* of war. . .The idea th at human nature cannot be chan ged is contrary to modern psycho 'ogy. but the tradition of war is f ^ powerful one. The final word in th< Christian interpretation of historj must be spoken by Christian exp erience. If we find the spirit ol God to be an indwelling power ir ' "jur own souls, we must seek t< nave that power go forth to worl redemptively and, creatively in th< I life of our times."
