(Art Bidtorial ) Many of the persona who mourned the assassination of the late President of the United States found themselves in a delemna that recalled the situation that freedom found themselves in after the assissination of Abraham Lincoln. Certainly the untimely death of John Fitzgerald Kennedy should not only cause Negroes to shudder, but it is reason for. concern of all Americans who believe that a defender of truth, right and justice stands in danger of his life, be he president or peasant, rich man or beggar. The shooting of. Kennedy should cause Christians to take a new look at the cause of Christ and to search their souls. If is no .gain saying that there is something wrong with our so-called Christian way of life. One need* to only think on the sajridk of the Bible, "One can chase a thousand and two can put IO.OrI to flitfit". Such a soul searching would readily reveal that “thi Salt has lost its savor” when a Christian nation, after all these yeani, is still producing men with so much hate in their hearts that they would ambush a man, whose only apparent fault is that he has vowed to give every man his rights, under the constitution.
