Adams 4ffiW YORK ? More than two " hundred years ago Gen. George Washington, in a letter to a Jew ish congregation in Providence, R. I.,s made a statement which employed this phrase . . . "This *. country which to bigotry gives .'.no sanction, and to persecution -no assistance."

In the field of race relations j we cam do the same thing! j Whether the laws against discrimination in employment, in education, and in housing?as ' , established in the state of New YorK?rin themselves will stop discrimination in those areas, is not the most important factor. What is important is that they , say in emphatic terms that the) state of New York "gives no ' sanction" to these evils and thereby calls upon all people of ' good will to abide by them. ) It may not be imperative that rigid provisions are included td \ 'inflict severe penalties upon 1 those who violate these laws, yet , in order that they will be worth-t while, some form of punishment, eyen if it is merely an expose,. , should be imposed on those who , who insist upon flouting the law.

Even the worst kind of bigot seeks to justify his position in order to escape the cruel con-> demnation more enlightened men heap upon his immoral head. If the United States is to fulfill its destiny; if it is to live up to the prophecy of its founding fathers; if it is to make good on George Washington's pronouncement that it gives "to bigotry no sanction and to persecution no assistance,'! then it ihust give up Uye^-ldpa that it can^of"improv& matter's bV legislation. The fact of the matter is that''legislation)' which essentially is' just "rules of conduct" by which we live, is ! the only way we can improve* . our lot. In the approaching Presiden- ] tial campaign, either Party which ; seeks to hide behind the protect live cloak of "legislation will not change men's minds" in its ap- , proach to the problem of CiviJ , Rights, will be doomed. If both ' Parties should adopt such a pol- , icy, our country itself might find . itself doomed. VOTED LYRIC SOPRANO VISITS HISTORIC POINTS tVIITT.F ON mRUir.v Tn,in I By June L'Rhue NEW YORK?Madame Lillian Evanti, who has been on a con-< cert tour in Europe for several weeks, is touching many points of historical significance. The internationally known lyric soprano's itinerary includes France, Italy, Austria, Yugoslavs ia, Portugal, and Africa. After touring Southern France, sha went to Zagreb, the cultural capital of Croatin-Slavonia, Yugoslavia. (This town, according to revelations of modern exca-< vations, existed in Roman times). She has also traveled through Milan and Rome, the political and historical fame of which la unmatched in point of length of continuity. Following a visit to Austria the singer will return to France, and from there she will go to Portugal. FOR SALE Second-hand Men's Boots nnrl Shops We Also Repair Shoes The Master Shoe Service 207 E. Sycamore St. E FUTURE OUTLO THIS WEEK' HOW CAN WE GUIDE YOUTH In THE CHURCH? Memory Selection: Set the believer an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity (I Timothy 4:12). THE YOUNGER GENERATION'S mistake, someone has remarked, is that it has learned things too readily from the older. This is a mistake only if the older generation is unworthy of its responsibilities. The best way for a young person to learn is at the side of one who knows. The medieval guild and apprentice system left a great deal to be desired, but from it magnificent craftsmen were born. A youngster served a long period working beside the master. All the master's tricks and skills ben came a part of the newcomer's equipment. It may not have been the fastest way in the world to train an artisan; but when a young man was through his ap prenticeship, he knew the craft; Good models are just as important in making good churchmen they as are in making artisans. It ought to be, whether it is or not, that the older leaders of the church can say to the younger people, as Paul said to the new Christians at Corinth, . . be1 imitators of me." -THE EFFECT OF EXAMPLE Generally an older person can give advice for hours on end, and it has little effect upon youth. But if they have their ears shut to advice, they have their eves open to example. Can we choose whether or not we want to be an example to others? If not, what kind of example ought we to be? In an excellent motion picture an immature veteran cannot seem to get hold of himself., He is a weakling,, dominated by a psy-* ehopathic j mpther. He tljiinks he is lUMs his spineless fathgr, a no-< account. Bur .when the father finally stands' up for the boy, refuses to let him be further intimidated by the mother's pleas and demands, a new life starts for the young man. It seems to have started when he could shake hands with his father as onei whose example was worthy.

They walk with the same strut of the school coach, listening to hid words and aping his conduct. They pick up not just a farmer's good methods in handling stock on the farm but his prejudices and his vices also. They copy not only the clothes of the favorite teacher in school but also her habits of conduct. ALCOHOL AND EXAMPLE The disgusting sight of a drunken man or woman is usual-r ly enough to make a youngster resolve to have nothing to do with the alcohol that caused the condition. But there are many other examples that make an opposing pull. On television and in news-i papers and ifiagazines youths see popular heroes endorse certain alcoholic beverages. In the mov-< ies they are almost certain to see a scene in which the hero or leading lady is drinking. These drinks seem to have no visible effect upon them. Apparently, youths may reason, a drunk isf an exception. Their heroes drink, and not only does liquor not hurt them, but els a matter of fact, they are successful. What should be done about such examples? Why does so much drinking apparently have no undesirable results? A prominent church family in a large midwestern city was re-, resently in despair. The parents woke up to find that their highschool-age boy and girl were getting drunk repeatedly. The; boy had come near to alcoholism. This family had long been engaging in "polite" social drinking. The children had often seen their respected and able parents drinking cocktails with friends. The parents thought, of course, that if they set any example at all on the drinking question, it was on the si<}e of "temperance." Spring's Af Just Arrived!

Why? GUIDANCE IN THE CHURCH # Boswell's London Journal records Captain Plume's opinion about an attorney: "A dangerous t man?discharge him, discharge him! We can get rid of a bad example, but it is better to turn it into a good one. Getting rid of a problem is hardly as worthy as solving it. The role of the Church is best seen in its effectiveness in changing wrong conditions. The kind of spirit some churches have, such as the records of a small Ohio Methodist church show, does not provide guidance within the church, but it stands as a censor and judge upon all who disagree with the views of a few prominent persons. This church held an annual trial. Before that session were brought all the accusations anyone might want to prefer against a member. The record shows that this church did little about solving the prob- . lems of its members, including I some youth; it simply tossed them out of its fellowship. To what extent should a church go in seeking to reform persons? anouia delinquent youtn De invited to its membership? The Church must aid parents in developing character in youth. Into the lives of Timothy and Paul went not only a good home) training but also a religious up- ^ bringing that made a difference. n In Paul it was a Judaism that had to be modified, and in Timothy it was mixed; but its basis was religious?R.
