W Hard And Heavy Lies The Guilt, Hard And Heavy On All Of Us The following is republished from Kays Gary's popular col umn in The Charlotte Observer. So well expressed, we feel our subscribers should have e.n opportunity to read it. The Editor April 14, 1865 Nov. 22, 1963. The dates are 98 years apart and yet the earliest of these is but Friday. These are the dates of" indelible infamy in the jsrtgFX of these United States. These are the dates of our massive shame. THERE IS ANOTHER recent dlate to be joined with these in the evolution of hell's fiercest fire. It was Sept. 15, 1963. A church was bombed. Children were murdered. The other dates marked the assassination of presidents of the United States. ALL PRESIDENTS AND CHILDREN ALIKE, were martyrs to the struggle for those things for which purpose God is said to have sent His Son to bring unity from chaos, oneness from many, love from hatred. And who among us will accept guilt? Who ac cepted it in Birmingham in September? Who ac cepts it now in the halls where preachments of hatred have fuflg out as the clarion calls of patriotism? Who indeed? By our moderate silences during the din raised by butchers of human liberties in a great profaned disguise of patriotism we are all guilty. WE ARE ALL GUILTY who have walked away from the rabid rousements of extremists. The greatest tragedy is not in the death of a man. The greatest tragedy is what has happened to this America. America The Beautiful. The hearts who love it most can never ache more. America The Free. America the secure. How secure ? America, the sym bol of mankind's highest hopes. What are the hopes of man? America, home of liberty and justice of all. How bright now her diadem as the queen of civilizations? THE ARE THE QUESTIONS that this day rock the world. What answers shall we give them? In a State College dormitory a Peruvian student ept. . . . because I like him, fadda," was his only ation. "He was the President of the United States. Things will be very bad for the United States now in the world." America has survived assassinations of presi dents before. But the fact remains. The assassin, in taking this life of John F. Kennedy, killed more than a man. He killed a part of America. IjJl Jl I S B mmB BBK.BMWMpHMW JUST BEFORE THE SNIPER SHOT President John F.
