Beacon Press director speaks
W a n te d
PORTLAND THRIFT
STORE
Thursday, February 22, 1973
2201 N. 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.”
