SAYS WALLACE "Our choice is not between a Hitler slave world and an out *>f date holiday of "normalcy." The defeatists who talk about itoing back to the good old days of Aiuericauisin mean the time when there was plenty for the few and scarcity for the many . . staled Vice President Wallace in a recent address. Mr. Wallace continued. "Nor is our choice between an Americanized fascism?and the restoration ! of pre-war scarcity and unemployment. Too many millions of our people have couie out of the dark cellars and squalor of unemployment ever to go back. "Our choice is between democracy for everybody or for few? between the spreading of* social safeguards and economic opportunity to all the people?or the concentration of our abundant resources in the hands of selfishness and greed. "The American people have brought a brave and dear conscience to iliis crisis id* all innn'kind. Kvery family, every eomlimnity ? feeling the denials and restraints of war. has been foreed to search for a bed-rock of faith. .

"We cannot plead "for equality ' of opportunity for peoples everywhere and overlook the denial of the right to vote for millions of _ our own people.

Isaiah 60:19. c THE CHURCH IN NATIONAL, * LIFE a e THERE HAVE BEEN varying degrees of awareness of God f In different nations. None has a ever shown such sensitiveness to t this relation, however, as the c Hebrew people. They were what ti we should call theocentrlc. That tl is, God was at the heart of all c thMr thought and life. T h e p IE OUTLOOK. GREENSBC X' ." ' \ ?* "' A.' i'wiV. *. "' '1.'"*" * **'* r'. ? I ,: <-V ! \ .<?1 > r" / ' 'V r:. / .

Success or fail1 re in their national life was neasured by the degree ill which heir conduct had pleased God. 'heir political and social life, as rell as their religious activities, entered n round tlii? vnlniion hip. All their laws and customs .rere fashioned from this point f view. David's attitude and beautiful irayer, as recorded in this lesou, 'furnish a good example of .hat we mean when we say that he Hebrews interpreted all hisory and experience in the light f their faith in God. Sometimes we feel that the :hurch does not occupy today he central and authoritative lace it did in the days of our orefathers. There are many ther competing interests in our omplicated life. Many of its leas are challenged, and its intitutions criticized. No one need car, however, that what it tands for will ever perish from he earth. Its forms may change ut its substance abides. Its Dundations are not in books or heories or institutions. It is the roduct of something deep and asting in'human nature. Churches and priesthoods do ot create religion; rather it is rue that religion, in its growing [fe, creates cliu..rches and intitutions. The real foundation f religion is the deep need of lie human spirit to relate itself nd Its interests to the unseen nd the eternal. If there seems to be today less mphasis upon specific church ctivities such as worship and ttendance. there is probably sore emphasis upon the rellglus significance of all our aclvitles. We are seeing more learly than before that everyhing in life relates Itself to the livlne meaning of our experince. Religion cannot be isolated rom the rest of life and treated s If It were separate and disInct. Its activities cannot be onducted in a vacuum. It cerainly has as much to do with tie task of earning a living and reating a just and durable eace as it has with prayer and )R0. N. C. SATl -.55. >j..? . ' - - .

I i 1 "WINGS OVER JORDAN" v AMBASSADORS OF ? (;OOD WILL li One of the most outstanding u achievements of "Wings Over Jordan," famous CBS radio con- ( cert artists, in addition to fos- li tering interracial and. interna- J tional goodwill, is the preserv- v atlon of the Negro spiritual, the most' sacred heritage of the s American Negro. In recognition c of this service to the race and t to the nation, Rev. Glynn T. '1 Settle, founder ,and his group v have received the commenda- v tion of many of America's lead- y ing personages, Including such ii famous people as Mrs. Eleanor .1 Roosevelt, wife of the Presl- t dent; Edwin McNeill Poteat ,of <> the Colgate-Rochester Divinity A School; Charles S. Johnson, the 1 noted sociologist of Fisk Uni- < versity, and D. V. Jemison. a president of the National Baptist Convention. I "The Negro spirituals, sacred I and so divinely enjoyable, have | not only won for the American ^ Negro unlimited friendship with s other races, hut as well, they j have filled a great need in the s world of goodwill. We highly commend their preservation," said Rev. Settle.' Mrs. Roosevelt, in a letter to t the group, said, "I believe the c preservation of the spirituals is ( important to our history and to our culture."
