At The Rotary Club
..,1
(hie of the most perplexing prob
lems confronting ns today might be
set out in a thesis entitled ‘‘Com
munism in Industry and Business," or
“Getting Thoughts from the Office to
the Bench,” with the emphasis placed
upon “mispronounced words,” said
Rev. Harry A. Behrens as he address
ed the Rotary dub Tuesday night
Rev. Behrens, pastor of the Reform
church at Tom’s Brook, Va., in work
ing out methods to convey “messages
from his pulpit to the bench,” has
discovered that the woijd “God,” to
most people, means only a far away
deity.
"I,” says Rev. Behrens, is too often
overworked; nations speak in terms
of-“I," social groups say “I” wittu-too
little regard for what is actually im
plied or what is the real meaning.
The word “they^ should be substitu
ted more freely, and not only when
tilings don’t move along smoothly
etfbugh to warrant the use of "I.”
"All” is a mighty little word; and
there has been and Still continues to
he a great reluctance or hesitancy by
the American people to pronounce it
men are created, eqoally but the 13
correctly. We acknowledge that all
men are created equally, but the 13
original colonies pondered the ques
tion as to how new areas should
come in, whether as new territories
or on an equal basis.
Then the question of women arose,
their rights and how they should,
stand in the general picture. The
matter of children working 10 hours
per day at.menial labor, “all” unques
tionably have rights to good educa
tion and training. "
In the case of labor, it will he
pometime before we can say “all”
and include labor, but much has been
done" and an honest effort is still be
ing made to pronounce “alL” Work
with the colored and minority groups
affords a challenging field; truly,
there is much to be done before we
oan say “alL” - ! k
In Europe, Asia, Africa, South
America, every country, all men are
created equal, and our fhture depends
on how we pronounce the word “all”
today; and the word "God” will no
longer be mispronounced, if we ah Ro*
.. “
the words of my mouth
ings of my heart, please Thee,
Lord.”'
