Some Variations
On Justice
THK TRIBUNAL AID
WEDNESDAY. FEBKUARY 11.
Pure justice is a term
That seems to indicate
That everyone involved
Will get what he deserves.
The strong, the poor, the
weak--
And all those in between--
Have fundamental rights
That should not be denied.
But uniformity
Is seldom to be found
And “justice” may reveal
Some inconsistencies.
For cultures are unlike

In their oriorities
And acts taboo in one
In others are in vogue.
While one may recommend
An eye for every eye.
Another may require
Two eyes for every tooth.
But if one has a friend
Who knows the proper folk,
“Donations” to their cause
May circumvent the laws.
And those with loving
hearts.
Who strive for brother
hood,
Think justice should allow
The guilty one more
chance.
If members of a gang
Betray their secrecy
The “justice” they receive
Will place them in a
morgue.
And justice may depend
Upon a judge’s view-
A pardon one may grant
While one imposes fines.
But under cosmic law
No corners can be cut,
For one will always reap
The kind of crop he plants.

Closed on Sinday
tions, stood and introduced
themselves a discussion
centered around Mr. Ross’s
efforts to seek means of
establishing a BLACK
COMMUNITY PROJECT
to deal with certain
problems of black teen
agers.
When certain explana
tions were given, and all
participants shared with
Ross in his concern for the
black teenager and integra
tion problems, birth con
trol, venereal disease, and
drug abuses, it was agreed
that a Community Building
would be needed and
money for its operation.
. .The dis,cuf^jon led to ^
suggestions tb-^ontact such '
agencies as The Law
Enforcement Assistance
Agency, Youth Services
Bureau, and Temporary
Shelter Care for funding.
It was further suggested
that a proposal be drawn
up and presented to the
City of Gastonia, and
possibly get some of the
money that has been
appropriated to Gastonia by
the federal government.
The following persons
volunteered to work out a
proposal to be presented in
a follow-up meeting:
Mr. T.C. Shoats, Mary
A. Patterson, Edward
Kennedy, and Carl Ross.
“This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy,
according to the prophecies which led the way to thee;
that by them thou mayest war the good warfare,
holding faith and a good conscience.” (1 Timothy 1:18,
19)
The exhortation to Timothy had specific reference to
the conflict going on between the gospel of God and all
the powers of unbelief and evil in the world-the
combined powers of “the world”, “the flesh”, and
“the devil”. However, at the same time, I am
persuaded that there is a deeper interpretation of that
passage. There is a warfare which is incident to every
human being with pain and suffering, doubt and
questioning of God as to his providential dealings, and
death which comes alike to all men. There is warfare
with all the evil forces involved in the conflict between
God and the devil, righteousness and wickedness.
The formula for the personal living is not only a
proclamation of God to the world, telling of his grace to
penitent sinners, but of his purpose and determination
to so make manifest, through his followers, the true
plan of “how to succeed by really trying”.
The way of righteousness is not effortless. We are
required to strive toward the “high goal”. The purpose
of succeeding is to epitomize the true concepts of
“God’s purpose for man’s existence” through our daily
lives.
How is this best done? By living for others as well as
ourselves. The greatest burden that man can have on
his hands is self. With all attention focused on self, we
soon forget that beauty is never constant; but variable,
inconsistent, of many colors, and often invisable. Be
self-pronounced, but not self-possessed!
The point of striving must always be some distance
beyond ourselves. And, if that be the case, striving
must include others. I emphasize “others” for the
purpose of reminding us that living is a coalition of God
and man. God smiles upon those who love their
fellowman. Do not fear becoming involved with the
world in which we live simply because you do not
understand all the workings of that world. To avoid it is
to remain unchallenged. Therefore, unchallenged, you
will never have had the privilege of proving yourself,
I am an optimist in the best sense of the word. I
believe in the ultimate triumph of God and
righteousness; and that when all of our struggling is
over, the creation, now suffering from our sins, “shall
be glad and the wilderness shall blossom as the rose,
and the whole earth shall see the glory of the Lord and
the excellency of our God.”
Pq not Ipse youraiidividtt^Utx/otideati^^S ^person)
simply because you profess Christianity. Let us not be
deceived by the sophistry of materialists on the one
hand and the soft sentimentalists on the other. Our God
is truly a “God of Peace”, but he is not a “pacifist”
God. Therefore, the people of God must fight with the
word of God and the sword of God - which is truth.
Let us repeat 1 Timothy 1:18: “This charge I commit
unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the
prophecies which led the way to thee; that by them thou
mayest war the good warfare, holding faith and a good
conscience,”
As Christians, the preceding verse from Timothy tells
us of two of the great attributes of christianity-Faith
and a Good Conscience.

questions or should you like to share your Christian
experiences with our readers, simply write; “In Our
