Many citizens. of Flint and
near-by areas were greatly inspired by the outstanding Interracial program given at the Vernon Christian Church Sunday,
Feb. 14, at, 3:00 p.m. This was

| an occasion to be remembered by:

all who attended. There~ were
more than 12 different racial
groups represented.

Mr. John Ertitudes, who is a
native of Greece, and a graduate
student of- the University of
Michigan, gave informative~ facts
concerning the people of Greece,
their dreams, their fears, and
their accomplishments.: ei

Dr. Arjan Amor, of India, gave
enlightening information about
India~s religious practices.

Mrs. Shiela Hing, formerly of
China, shared with us her experiences in becoming:a Christian.
| Chaplain Eli B, Richards, pastor of the Lincoln Park Methodist
Church, climaxed. by saying:
~There is really no basic difference in man whatever his nationality may be; for out of one blood
God created man to dwell upon
the face of the earth.~

Mrs. Rosa Kimp gave a dramatic reading entitled: ~We are

1 Somebody.~

The Social Hour which followed was enjoyed by all.
Sunday, Feb. 28, at 7:00 p.m.

Jesus said, ~A new command

' jjand his fellow man. No wonder

good.

|| Yes, we know that love is strong~ler than death.

For love is life.
For God loved the world so much
that He gave a life, his only be--

~|gotten Son (life) that whosoever
~libelieve in Him should not perish,

but have everlasting life.

While we have the privilege of
understanding out brother, and
the great opportunity of loving
Him. ~ We have the grave responsibility of sharing with Him our:
blessings.

Jesus told the |stery of the:
~Good - Samaritan,~ A certain
man was going to Jericho from
Jerusalem, and he fell among rob-.
bers, who stripped him, and beat
him, leaving him half dead. By
chance a priest came by and saw

him. He passed on the other side.

Likewise. a Levite came and look-:
ed, he too passed on the other
side.

May I pause to) make this comment. Look! if you please; two

good men, two noble men, two re- > *

ligious men came by and saw
their brother lying helpless, and

dying, refused to help. This was.
a great opportunity to see religion
in action, but they failed. Re--
member~ it is always's men who
fail ~ never God. To walk on
the other side of the Jericho Road
is easy; for love is only lip-service. How many men and womer -
today are guilty of the same sin.

It is easy to say leave it to someone else, it is not my business.
The other side of the Jericho
Road there are no _ responsibili--
ties. What is our
to our brothers,. or to the world?~

Could it be that wherever men are

dying in in, or wherever souls are

hungry, or wherever men need

clothing, or sick, or in prison, or

even seeking after righteousness,

it~s our responsibility? For.Jesus..
said, ~As ye did it unto the least

of these, my, brethern, you have

done it unto me.~

The last man came by in the:
Jericho story gave aid and comfort to a man who he did _ not.
know, a man of 4 different race,.
but he saw only a man who needed help, and he gave it whole--
heartedly.

We must forget our political or
racial identity, and see only men
-~~our brothers. ~Behold how good
and pleasant it is for brethern to
dwell together in Unity.~
