age which belongs to them as
citizens of the United States.
The National Gallery of Art is

mately belong to all our

wonder to most of us is
we ever survived what
have been through."

tion of the Shepherds by Gior-
gione; The Adoration of the

Why be different?
There's no point in being differ-
ent just for the fun of it. There
should be some reason for it. The
Bible helps us here. The Hebrews
were God’s own people, and the
prophets drummed it into them
•— or tried to — that if they were
really the people of God they
would have to act and think and
worship and work and play dif-
ferently from their heathen
neighbors. The New Testament
tells how Jesus was rebuked for
eating with “untouchables” and
because his friends did not al-
ways observe all the ancient tra-
ditions. All down the ages it has
been the same story. The early
Christians seemed like cranks to
the Romans because they would
not burn a pinch of incense on a
little altar. Everybody else did it;
fifty million Romans couldn’t be
wrong; what ails these peevish
people?
Our current crisis
One problem that is rocking
America as these lines are being
written, is the race question. It is
a painful problem, and specially
for the Christian. Are you. read-
ing these lines, a white person?
Then take time this week to ask
yourself, what is the way God
wants me to treat Negroes? How
would Jesus treat them if he
were here? Or are you. reading
♦.his column, a Negro? Then give
some thought to the question: Is
what I think about white people,
the way a Christian should think
about them? Do I dare go out and
put my Christian ideas to work
in my relations with white peo-
ple? White man and Negro, if we
arc honest with ourselves we have
to admit that when custom con-
flicts with conscience or with
Christian character, it’s hard to
do the very thing we know is
right. But is it Christlike to be
“sons and daughters of the Most
High" only when it is easy?

Customs are observed by people
in droves and swarms. Dc;r ; what
“everybody else" docs calls for
no special inner strength; being
different from the crowd, refusing
to conform, sometimes takes a
hard head and a stout heart. The
crowd is often right; but right or
wrong, sometimes only a brave
man can go against it. Character
includes willingness to be differ-
ent when “different" means right.
Ereaking custom
A custom-breaker is looked
down on more than a lawbreaker.
Indeed it is easier to break a law,
and more popular too, than to
break a custom. Look at any
highway, some busy time of day.
Half the people out there are
driving faster than the law allows.
Nobody writes in to complain
about that. But if some driver
decides to stick with the speed
limit signs, the other drivers, all
law-breakers, will honk at the
man mightily. The highway pub-
lic doesn’t like law-observance
when it interferes with their cus-
tom of breaking the speed laws.
To take another example, in the
old south there was no need of
a -Jaw to keep white people and
Negroes from eating together.
But they always ate separately;.
Even if a man ran a restaurant,
he would serve white and colored
n an. u..
tew may ...u made in the
same pot. When white people be
gan to cat with Negroes, •— even
one white person with one Negrc
— the white person and the col-
ored one no less would be looked
on with ridicule if nothing worse
So all through life, from the small
boy who wouldn’t be caught dead
in seme kind of clothes that none
of the other fellows wear, uown
to the old man who requests a
funeral just like everybody else’s,
“custom doth make cowards of
us all.”
