' “A People cannot survive and i endure in its soul the hell of race hatred and discrimination,” Dr. Guy E. Shipler, Protestant Epis copal leader told an assembly of I Negro and white churchmen c J cently in New York. “The whole | trend of today is with the men of 'goodwill . .. What has been preach i ed through the churches In all a I ges has seemed idealistic, but the world is coming to see that it is really practical and is all we have for survival. What has happened o nthe world canvass we see as being on the one hand a standard of Christian ethics and on the other the Nazi gangster standards. We are tuining to what formerly looked as being only idealistic, as being the outstanding realism of the world . . Hitler’s basic error is race hatred. He has the contempt of more of the world’s millions by this one error than by all his bru tality.” Lroa never mienueu umi uic sanctuary for hsi worship should be drab, ugly, or depressing, or he would never have created the glory of the sunset, the color of the sky, the land, the sea, even the desert,” says Dr. lbert M. Con over, director of the Interdenomi national Bureau of Church Archi tecture, New York City in urging that more attention be given to the use of color in the decoration of churches. “Color can do mar velous things. It can make a room appear larger or smaller, cooler or warmer. It can lower ceilings or push them up, make a wall to seem to recede or advance. It can make a room restful, studious shy, frivolous, glamorous, breath taking. It can give us the effect iveness we desire in any room to be used for divine worship; teach ing, or fellowship in the house of God.” Dr. Conover urges churches to give attention to the use ol color in their sanctuaries and rooms, and urges that it be done now as a contribution to sustain ing civilian morale. _ f Eyes Examined and Glasses Fitted Office over Shell Furniture Store Not In Mondays.
