Killingsworth Gobln S tair, D ire cto r of Che Beacon Press, the Unitarian Universalise publishing house which has been gening public ity during the past year 'o r Its publication of the Gr; uel edition of the Pent gon Papers, w ill speak at the F irs t Unitarian Church, ~.W. 12th and Salmon, on ..ednesday, February 28, at 8:p.m. His subject w ill be "T he Right to Know." F o r more than 100 years the Beacon Press has been publishing Important books that are controversial, ln- structlve, and sometimes beautiful, fo r the Unitarian U niversalists telieve that publishing can be a religious act and that a free press such as this one Is a necessary part of our culture. Gobln S tair joined the Press in 1956 as art d ire cto r and production manager. He has been d ire cto r since 1962. He has won awards as a designer of books and graphic m aterial: he is a painter and book illus tra to r. In 1965, M r. S tair was presented tie W illiam 4 . Dwlggins award " f o r the most outstanding contribution to book building in New Eng land." Before coming to Boston, M r . S tair worked In the p rin t ing publishing industry as a production man and designer fo r such New York firm s as G.P. Putnam, Bantam Books. C ornell M a ritim e Press, Graphic House, T rlg g s Color P rinting Corporation. As an a rtist, he worked with Misha Reznikoff and J.C.Orozco. and im . s exhibited In Boston and New York. The Burden of Black Religion (Continued from page 5) complete failure. He was what you would call definitely deprived socially a n d culturally deficient born in a stable wrapped in d if ferentiated rags called swad (fling clothes laid in a manger baptized by a rustic named John in the rural wilderness of Judea ar rested by Roman Soldiers beaten by an angry mob condemned by Pilot mock ed by the crowd cruci lied on calvary wounded in his side buried in a borrowed tomb sealed in his grave. Yet he lives today because "God raised him up and highly exalted him giving him a name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Ixird. to the glory of God.” In other words he identified with the lowest and was therefore raised to the highest. Only Simon and Simon's Chuch can really reveal t h e depths which Jesus embraced and only Simon in his full freedom ran reveal the heights in which Jesus is and shall be glorified. The third, final and ulti mate burden of Black religion is to save white religion. We must expunge from white religion the heresy of dicho tomy. Their heresy of dicho tomy would want a man to believe that he can be a Christian on Sunday and a criminal on Monday that he can worshop God with his tears, prayers, songs, ser mons the beauty of his buildings and paintings in the gilded sancturary, and yet fail to serve God in his day- to-day relations with his bro thers who also are the chil dren of God. We must expunge the heresy that a man’s life in Christ does not change his status in society that the soul has no con course with the body and the spiritual has nothing to tio with the physical - that the saved individual can con tinue to be insensitive to an unsaved society that reli gion is a personal matter only and Jesus is a personal savior only and has nothing to do with structures and sys tems structurized evil - systematized injustice. White religion must dump that doc trine expunge that false di chotomy and relate religion to life and Christ to culture. The authenticity of any church is to be measured not by what it does for itself but what it does for others. Jesus lived and died for others and we are not in Christ unless we have iden tified with others. It is the nature of the church to give its life to those who need it. It does not take in wealth to keep it but to give it. Its life is preserved through giving. Just as the survival of the Amoeba is guaranteed as it divides itself and shares the substance of its protoplasm in behalf of the others and just as the life of the seed is insured as it breaks itself and sacrifices its life for the sake of new life, so the life of the church is guaranteed as it empties itself in the world pours itself out where it is needed. The church must pour out its strength among the weak, its wealth among the poor, its gospel among the estranged, and its joy among the sad. We must pour it out all of it. As a Black church, we cannot keep our religion to ourselves. We will not be esoteric. We will not become a closed com munity. We will never take on the form of country club exclusionism, but we will take on the form of a servant and pour out the love and power of God all around us. To keep it is to lose it. To share it is to renew it. It is Simon’s burden to save him self and others with him. S i m o n ’ s religion s u s- tained him through slavery and it will sustain you in the midst of the deadening caco phonies of a civilization hung up on futility. Jesus had to carry his heavy cross on his naked bark through the streets of Jerusalem from the judg ment of Pilate to the hill outside Jerusalem where he was nailed to the cross and bled until he died. While on the way to Calvary he weak ened under the load of the cross. He had been up all night long. He had stood two rigorous trials - he had taken two nasty beat ings; therefore, on his way, he slumped u n d e r the weight of his cross. He could not carry it by him self. So the soldiers search ed through the crowd trying to find somebody to help Jesus to bear his cross. The Jews wouldn't touch it because they said it was a curse. The Romans wouldn't touch it because they were too proud. His friends were scared. His enemies didn't care. Nobody would help him. The soldiers kept looking for somebody to help Jesus bear his cr< s and finally they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, a slave from Africa, a hewer of wood, a drawer of water; him they compelled to bear his cross but rather than despise it - Simon c o n- sented in his compulsion - exalted God in his labor. And the poet imagined him to have said: "Must Jesus cross alone And all the free? No, there's a everyone And there's a bear the world cross for cross for me." This is the burden of Black religion and the Chris tian faith. Smile — God Loves You (Continued from pg. 5. col. 41 and g irls . I believe that ttie devil, has summoned his head imps the leaders of the cohorts of h e ll. Therefore I w ill name some of the weapons, that the devil is using in the world today. ( I) LUST said to the devil, " I f you send me into the w orld, 1 w ill defile .Men's minds and bring disease to their bodies, and I lkewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in th e ir lust one toward an other.” Rom. 1:27.(2) ANGER said, " I f you send me I w ill set brother against brother, siste r against sister and hus band against wife and w ill magnify little trifle s into serious quarrels. Soon there w ill be m urder in the house and w ar In the fields. Cain slew his brother Able in the fie ld ." Gen. 4:8 (3) GREED said, "Send me, and I w ill in s till into men’ s hearts the most destructive of passions. The strong w ill exploit the weak. Each Nation w ill covet the other's possessions.Soon, mankind w ill destroy itself in suicidal stru g g le ." But s till the devil showed no marked approbation. (4) GLUTTONY, drunkenness, envy, jealousy, and bate said, “ Send us and the race would vanish in stu por. Man w ilt grow preju diced, Insanely suspicious, deeply envious, b itte r ano hill of hate, and universal discord is sure to follow .” Thus the devil looking about fo r other candidates, espied (5) IDLENESS, fat and unclean, lounging in a corner, and ordered it to report. He lazily arose and said, " L e t me In fect the people with my poison, because they don’ t want to make up th e ir beds and clean up th ie r rooms before going to school in the morning, and poke out th e ir lips when ask to wash dishes after dinner.” The devil shakes his head s till dissatisfied. (6) Then comes PROCRASTINATION, apologizing fo r being late, "H e said I promise I can ut te rly destroy mankind if you entrust the mission to me. I shall tell him to obey God. to live up to his ideals, to be good, noble, generous, and just as e vil; there is no need to be in a hurry about it ! " The council spontaneously burst into applause. The devil smiled w ith smug satisfaction. "Thou shall do and not fa il. Thou hast the secret of our success'” Therefore all of these sins are at work in the world today. A 11 of these could be wiped out without too much trouble if it weren’ t fo r Pro crastination. Procrastination is saying to you obey God, be good, noble, generous and just but not right now; tomorrow w ill do just as w ell. Brothers and Sisters and Professing Christians, if you are not very careful, you w ill put off that which you know you ought to do now. You realize your need of prayer and the study of God's word tu t think within yourself, " I ’ ll do that to m orrow, I'm tired now. soon as I have rested I ’ ll surely study and pray. Needless to say too many times, tomorrow never comes. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the m orrow . F o r what is your gift? It is even a vapour, that appeareth fo r a little time and then vanisheth away. James 4:14. You, dear sinner, intend to get right with God, but the devil is telling you "N o t now, not today, not tonight; there is no need to hurry, tomorrow w ill do just as w e ll.” THE PORTLAND OBSERVER P.O.
