statue of Christ at the Sacred Heart Seminary
here. On the first day of the Detroit riot,
three men armed with a bucket of paint came
to the grounds of the seminary and painted
the face, hands and feet of the statue black.
A group of white men repainted it twice
t>ut .viegr. Francis X, Canfield, head of the
Roman Catholic institution only a few blacks
from the eye of the riot, felt the community
would prefer a black Christ. So he and the
priests in the seminary twice painted the face
black again. (UPI).

Austin, 38, whose “Austin

the Evergreen Baptist Church,
Palmyra, N. J.
But one Sunday, he v.'as miss

family friend, Louis Ricketts,
to look for him.,
Going to his home, they found
his living room in a shamble.

MEDITATION
A SERMONETTE
BY COLN DOUGLAS
“I will forgive their iniquity,
and their sin will I remember
no more.” -- Jer. 31:34.
If you are a person who
finds it difficult to forgive, you
need to turn your thoughts more
to the presence of God, and let
His love fill your heart and
mind. Give yourself and the
situation that troubles you to
Him, and you will find your
self able to forgive and for
get every wrong.
When you keep turning over
in your mind the memory of
some hurt or injustice in the
past, you are closing your mind
to the forgiving love of God. You
harm only yourself when you
withhold forgiveness, for you
are being disobedient to the laws
and principles of the Father.
When the forgiving love of
God fills your heart it wipes
away from your memory all
thought of the harm and in
justice that another may have
done to you. It prompts you to
forgive and to forget everything
that has teen making you un
happy.
Love is the only power, for
all that is not loving is not for
God, and therefore has no
power. Keep love, instead of
resentment, in your thoughts
-- and tills will keep peace
and harmony within you and
about you.
As we remind ourselves of
the spiritual power of God that
is ours to share, as we change
our thoughts from hurt and re
sentment to thoughts of love
and tolerance, we gam a sense
of freedom in mind and body.
We see those who have wrong
ed ns in a new light, as chil
dren of the one Father . . .
just as we are , . . equally
beloved by Him.
“Cast they burden upon Je
hovah, and He will sustain
thee; He will never suffer the
righteous to be moved.’’

for spreading the knowledge of His love for man and
love of God, no government or society or way of life
will long persevere and the freedoms which we hold
so dear will .inevitably perish. Therefore, even from rgHft

Beyond that, however, every person should uphold
and participate in the Church because it tells the truth
about man’s life, death and destiny; the truth which
alone will set him free to live as a child of God.
