Why kick the dog, scold the cat and pour your soup in the sink, I was laboring under a Therapeutic finding that a _ repressed complex manifests itself in conduct, and that if you could only get people to talk about themselves and their neighbors you would find out heiy moral and spifitual diseases, I would like to have some of ~iat. soup myself, it smells de -licious, I continued, This brought a quick retort, ~Well preacher, to you it might be delicious but to me it~s just dish water. That ugly woman can~t do this to me.~ Well my baie there is no need for abusing a dog and cat. | oq home: They had nothing to do with the soup. And [I had yelaxed my patience enough to diagnosis his disease, Excuse me preacher for my bad temper, You see my father it and his father before him had it, I got it from them. I was that way, TREATMENT: Are you not acsuming too much my _ friend, Your predication is wrong. Chayacter is not inherited~ or congenital. Character is acquired. bv~ learning, May I have a cold drink? Thanks, Sit down and relax, I wish to ask you a few questions about your childhood, How did you like Sunday School? Never went, Were you a Boy Scout? No. Finished High* School? Only went to the third grade, Did you~ say your mother and. fath@r did not live together? Yes. T~soon found out that Sam~s vic~ous temper was inhabited in childhood, His uncooth man. mers began when he was neglected by his parents and hato do a man~s job and sodmetimes a woman~s when quite voung. Psychologists have open-: ed up the early years of youth |: *to prove that most morals or immoral bonds are formed dur. ing the first four or six years, These are basic character foundations, Wickedness is not inherited but learned. The follow. ine iNustrations will serve to nenve this case, CASE ONE A voung married couple had living with them one of their: e-ondnarents. who, was, aged and nervous. Sometimes at the~ tohta Le would let a dish _acci fall and break. ~ His danchtrer bought for him a wanton howl to eat in.. Tn this hic fond was served~ while the otho+s of the familv ate in fine erokery Soon a son was born tA thie couvle. At the age of: aiel+ Le wag siven a lacknife fn. hie hiethday He for a plece af <.nnd and natiently carved a reARAaN howl and gave it to his father as he said: ~Nad I have wesrdn a ouranden awl] far van Aanily ta anatase nf urhen vain enma~ ee ahd one arandA_dAad. This Re a Nawweeal martality mace 9 ~A mon bod a teemor in hic Mant Punm childhnnd. As~ impr v1 ha tranemited i+ tn his con who was afflicted with it he if he was tired or after a hard days work, Analysis of the. symptons idis. closed that when his son was seven year of age he was playing hide and seek with a friend cf his. He jumped over a fence upon broken glass and -had a severe cut on his foot fy broken bottles, He was taken to the hospital, The doctor who had to give him fourteen stitches to close the wound needed help. The father held the boy -down while the surgeon cleaned, probed and stitched ~he wound. The tremor of the father~s hand was transmitted ~o the boy's brain and associat-d with the incident which was painful. When the boy grew to manhood under any strain or pain the tremor would reapyear in the right hand, This is. associated: transmittal and not hereditary. CASE NO, 3 In my own church I ~knew a man who refuSed~ to allow tis wife to go to church on Sundays, He claimed he worked hard all week and she should stay at home with him on the Sundays and get his meals, They. both made the children go to church while they stayHis children grew up, Are married and have children of their~ own. Two of the sons have imposed the same ruling on their wives, They will not allow them to go to church on. the Sabbath as long as they are home, They doll up ~the youngsters and send them to Sunday School but the parents st@y at home. Thus we see character traits are not -inherited, but learned, Many determinants and variables produce out | character values, Of these detrimants the nervous system and the instinct play the most important part, Often you have heard jt said: ~He or she is high strung~. Such people often are irratic, quick, imaginative genjusgs which may be easily turned ~to madness and immortality. Too often they are low in chafacter values, On the other hand there js the slow mental type. often well balanced, think before acting and use the instincts 'for full control, Culture, refinement and. ye ~jligious education are not achiev ed in a day and are yesults of trained instincts which are the finsuring elements of good character,.My next article will show more how to acquire learned: instincts which. are the _ basis of your character values, ~By Rev, E.

If ~his party were an isolated instance of the democracy of the woman, we would be inclined to pass|it up as one of those moral interracial freaks wre SO oceasionally run into. Interracialism with _ ~Mrs. Roosevelt is not a, think apart _| from her life but an integral and *. important part thereof,, Ever since her wonderful hus- |~the frequent. failure in race re band entered the White House this remarkable woman has heen showing the nation and ~world what true ~ democracy means to. people big enough to. aoply its powerful principles, During Roosevelt~s reign, Nesroes have gone in and out of the White House in a way they have never known before, What *< more: they we e not required to tiptoe.

The enemies they made are ther greatest compliment,: History will record ~'t thus.

Those who may have lis-'! tened must have perked up with vride when they learned that the baritone soloist was none other than Todd Duncan, well known Negro actor and singer, Localites know him for he was the star of ~Porgy and Bess~ when ~ershwin~s opera was sung here a~ the Hartmen, a season ago, No less a Kerstin of th Metropolitan sang the soprano part, There has been a steady upgrade for Negro artists. on the stage and, although they continue ~9 play character parts, the Nin~+ Symphony program stands ~s a high attainment that might wer over all others, Robeson -chieved m but always in ~harac~ér roles suéh as in Em. ~ovior Jones and Othello; Again > Show Boat and other singing roles, he has had to play Negro narts, The Ninth Symphony is vure music cloaking the famous Germ2n poet~s, Shiller, works 2nd carries no illusions to race nor anything so earthy, _ It is a great distinction to; ~snow-capped and majestic, The | groes too afraid to be called~ is a vast difference | rson then Dorothy: ond Baptist church, Dinner to Lines Person in New the jibes of the mocking moral Lilliputians who are afraid of their - moral Shadows, In a world ridden by political and }, dipiomatic and interracial duplicitis, the moral stature of Mrs, Roosevelt stands in bold relief like the towering Alps, nations and_ the generations thereof will rise up and call} her blessed some day, Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt has what it takes to make this a decent world in which to really and truly live namely, moral courage. She is not afraid to take her stand and then take the consequences. Too many of us, | alas, are too fearful of consequences to take a stand, One of the explanations of [ lations is the colossal fearlessness of the interracialists, Ne-_ ~Uncle Toms~~ and white too afraid to be called ~Negro Lovers~ with everybody try-. ing to play safe. Mrs, Eleanor Roosevelt has given ~to the world in general the pattern of interracial progress: Somebody has got to take it!
