MEETING SUBJECT
"The Golden Decade" will be
the subject of the Missionary
Volunteer meeting to be held at
4:30 p.m. at the Valley View
church Saturday afternoon. .
Rev. Clifford J. Earle of Phila
delphia, executive secretary of
the Social Action department of
the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.
He must believe them strongly,
for he said them at a place and
time where they were not easy
to say in the pulpit of a Pres
byterian church at Little Rock,
Ark., early this month.
Many ministers, in the south
as well as the north, share Dr.
Earle's conviction that the segre
gation controversy has brought
American churches to a place
where they have often arraigned
other elements of society the
judgment bar of God.
The agony of conscience which
thousands of clergymen are ex
periencing on this subject is
clearly evident in church publi
cations ... in the formal resolu
tions of denominational confer
ences . . . and above all, in the
private conversations that take
place whenever a group of min
isters meets.
Brands Segregation A Sin
Whether segregation is moral-
Federated Dorcas
Meet in Medford
Miss Maybelle Vandermark,
Home Missionary secretary for
the General Conference of Seventh-day
Adventists, located in
Washington, D. C, was guest
speaker at the Southern Oregon
Federated Dorcas association
meeting held in Medford, Mon
day, Oct. 14.
The all-day meeting, which
took place in the new Red Cross
building, 60 Hawthorne ave.,
was attended by representatives
from nine Southern Oregon so
cieties, and was presided over
by Mrs. Bliss Hudson, Ashland,

Valley View church welcomed

votional services to open the

View, and Susie Bennett, Ash
land. Mrs. Hudson introduced C. J.
Richie, director of the Home
Missionary and Dorcas Welfare
work for the state of Oregon,
who reported to the group on
work done in the state through
the year of 1956.
Miss Vandermarks remarks
were direcled principally toward
helping society members learn
better methods of approaching
those who need help, and estab
lishing a good relationship with
them. She also gave suggestions
on the setting up and operation
of local welfare centers.
Reports from the societies rep
resented were given.

SERMON SUBJECT '
"Doctrine of Atonement" will
be the subject of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, ser
mon at 11 a.m. Sunday.
Friday, Oeiob 18, 19S7
ly defensible is not the primary
topic of these soul-searching ses
sions. The vast majority of north
ern ministers, and a substantial
number of southern ministers,
are personally in agreement with
the declaration of the National
Council of Churches and major
denominational bodies branding
segregation a sin.
An earnest young,pastor, who
serves the largest Methodist
church in one city of the deep
South, expressed the quandary
in which many southern church
leaders find themselves.
'I would like very much to
stand up in that pulpit next Sun
day and say what I really believe
about race relations," he told
this reporter. "It would ease my
own conscience. But what would
it do to my congregation. One or
two of them might agree with
J me they do already. The rest
would turn against me, and pos
sibly against the church as well.
I would lose any chance I may
have of leading them slowly into
a more Christian attitude toward
Negroes."
This is the prudent approach,
which most southern ministers
apparently have decided to take.
It is based on the belief that the
church cannot attack segrega
tion head-on in the present cli
mate of southern feeling without
alienating itself completely from
the people it seeks to shepherd.
Church Must Speak Out
Behind it is the faith, or the
hope, that southern Christians
will gradually come to accept
the implications of their religion
in race relations if they are
not driven to a hasty emotional
choice between giving up their
ties with the church or giving
up their deeply-ingrained feel
ings about segregation.
Advocates of the prophetic ap
proach believe that the church
must speak out on seegregation
today in the same bold, uncom
promising voice that the proph-
l ets of ancient Israel used in de
nouncing the social evils of their
day.
To count the cost of such a
stand, they say, is unworthy of
a body whose founder followed
his own convictions to a cross.
This viewpoint is more com
mon and easier to expound
in northern pulpits. But it has
also been eloquently expressed
by a southern minister.
"Churches must recognize the
urgent necessity of taking a
forthright stand on this crucial
issue," he said. "Christians must
decide whether they will obey
the eternal demands of the al
mighty. God, or whether they
will capitulate to the transitory
demands of the defendants of
segregation."
The author of that statement,
Dr. Martin Luther King, knows
how much it will cost any south
ern clergyman who takes his ad
vice. His own home was bombed
last year when he led the Ne
groes of Montgomery, Ala., in a
"passive protest" against segre
gation on city buses.
