THE BRONZE REPORTER

Rev. Robert H. Harper ~
One Human Race.
-~ Lesson for December 13: Acts 10:
~ 9-15, 25-28, 34-35, 44-45.
' Golilen Text: Acits\10: 34-35.
At the first, the disciples pursued
a course. that would have caused
Christianity to be only a Jewish~
sect that might have perished from
the earth. They preached only to

Jewish people and received only }

members of their race into their

fellowship. But fortunately several

events determined that Christian-~
ity would become a world religion.

Cornelius, a gentile of Caesarea,
had a vision of an angel who bade
him send messengers to Joppa~ for
Peter. Just before the arrival of
the messengers, Peter had a vision
of the unclean beasts, by which he
was. convinced that all men are
precious in the sight of God and
are subjects of saving grace. So he
went readily with the messengers
to Cernelius and preached with such
effect that the Holy Spirit came
upon gentiles.

Later, when Peter reported the
matter to the council of the church
~in Jerusalem, the members @f the
council were duly impressed and
rejoiced that the gentiles were being granted the opportunity of repentance and new life in Christ.

Thus the disciples were brought
to realize that the gospel is for
all men and that there is one world
for Christianity to conquer. Racial
differences most certainly exist.
But in the gospel of Christ all men
meet on a common level. All are
in need of saving grace. Christians

_ are in duty bound to bear the gospel
to every man, no matter what his
Face may be.

The CIO, in a ~~friend -of the
court~~ brief filed with the U.~S.
Supreme Court in the ~ public
schoo] segregation cases put for
re-argument on Dec. 7, urged an
order abolishing c room racial
distinctions ~forthwith,~~ instead
of by a ~gradual readjustment,~
if the practice is found unconstitutional.

The CIO also restated its conviction that ~~segregation in public
schools on the basis of race violates the Fourteenth Amendment
The amendment prohibits enactment or enforcement of

| legislation denying. ~~~the equal pro
tection of the laws~~.to ~~any person.~

Involved.in the Supreme: Court
hearings are five cases. Parents
or guardians of Negro children
are appealing decision by lower
-courts in: Virginia, South Caro
~lint, Kansas and the District of

Columbia, that school segregation
under state. law does not violate
~the Fourteenth Amendment. In
addition, the State of, Delaware
is ~appealing ja lower court decision admitting Negro children to
white schools in one county.

The re-arguments wére ordered
iby the Supreme Court last June.
At the~same time it ~asked. for
briefs from the states and the
~National Association for the Advancement of. Colored People,
which has spearheaded the long
legal fight, and from various interested groups.

The CIO brief was filed by General Counsel Arthur J. Goldberg
and Assistant General Counsels
Thomas E. Harris and David E.
Feller. It was confined for the
most part to discussion.of the
~forthwith~ vs. ~~,zadual adjustment~ issue ~because it is one ~on
which the CIO has a_ certain
amount of -actual experience and
expert knowledge.~

In support of its contention that
~forthwith~? effectuation of nonsegregation is accompanied by less
disturbance than a ~gradual \adjustment,~ the CIO cited actual
experiences of its two largest unions, the Steelworkers and Auto
Workers, in specific cases. It also

recounted the CIO~s own exper

School Segregation ~Forthwith~

ience in totally abolishing discrimination in local offices under~ its
direet control.

In another section of the brief,
the CIO recalled its dedication to
~the protection of our democratic
system of government, and, hence
of the civil rights of all Americans.~

~Therefore,~ it continued, ~it
supports the elimination of racial
segregation and~ discrimination
from every phase of American
life.

~The CIO~s interest in the specific issues before the
this case is two-fold. |

~First, racial segregation in the
public schools directly affects the
millions of CIO members whose
children attend these schools. The
~CIO is convinced that.school segregation ~is harmful to the Negro
children who ware thus treated as

whom attitudes of racial hostility
and discrimination are thus engendered and encouraged at an
early age, and to the communty
as ~a whole.

ing and divisive force ~in Ameriean life. At the CIO~s convention
in November of this year,
Gelegates unanimously declared
their opposition to school ~segregation, and their support for the

these cases.

~Secondly, the outcome = of
these cases will have indirect effects of great importance to the
CIO.. The CIO is endeavoring to
practice non-segregation and nondiscrimination in the everyday
conduct of its union business. This
effort has repeatedly been obstructed by statutes, ordinances
and regulaticns which require
segregation in public. meeting
halls, public dining places,. toilet
facilities, etc.

~These laws seek
C10

to require
unions to maintain ~equal
but separate~ facilitiés even in
their own buildings, despite our
membership~s repudiation of: segregation in any form. Since the
constitutionality of these
rests on basically the same line

to justify school segregation, the
decision of this court in these
eases will, in all probability. have
far reaching -implications as, to
the validity of these other ee
regation laws.*

of which it is a part, fosters an
atmosphere of inter-racial hostility which makes it more difficult

} BY THE OLD TIMERS 4

From Engelbert Widman, /\von,
Minnesota: I can remember my father telling me about the days
when farmers used butter, for
greasing wagons and binders beceuse it was cheaper than axle
grease. Eventually, butter prices
went up and we did not have it at
home: since my parents sold all
they could to get money to pay the

beef, eggs and chickens wouldn~t
be sold and were worthless, |

From Lizzie Hester, Pain Lick,
Kentucky: I can remember when I
use to go to my grandmother~s
hotise when she would bake sweet
potatoes, corn bread and biscuits
in the old ovens in front of the fireplace. Sometimes she would have
two or three of them covered with
hot coals, all baking at the same
time. I believe the biscuits she
baked that way were the best I
heve ever eaten.
