This is the commandment above all others • hat sifts the- souls oi men. This k the injunction that separates great souls from the common run of mankind. This is the measure oi a man's bigness ->f heart and slang these lines lie the future of mankind and the peace we profess to seek. Jesus preached and practiced this higher commandment; he immortalizd himseli and so have Mohrmria- Ciandhi and Booker T Washington who are )ik<- wise candidates for eternal fame. The man who can really and truly love his enemies deserves every tribute mortal? can bestow. Some weeks ago, I suggested in this column that Negroes throughout the nation call a day cl prayer, whereon they would pi ay lot deliverance from the shaft of hatred that is being directed against the race by subversive elements in particular and pro sessional Negro haters m general. It was further suggested that 1-h D \ Jemison, president oi the National Baptist convention, and tin chairman of the bishop’., council of the AME church, t-ike she lead in this matter Then was expressed the fear that -u< n suggestion might fall on deaf ears, because it departed too radically from our accustomed patterns of approaching the color question in this country and generation, vVe ate more and more inclining to fight fire with tire, to out-do the enemy be tore he outdoes us. to put, our trust in the :u:> (uj iiesii, which have sit often lulled us. 100 often we at tempt to out-hale our enemies instead of following the injunction •); Jesus c.hnst to love them.
