MINISTERS HONORED

fatherhood of God and the bro
therhood of man that they
preached and the actions they
have taken to achieve this high
purpose, particularly when such
action puts in jeopardy not only
economic security but even pre
servation of self and family.
"The bombs which have been
exploded over the South and
over the nation in the past few
years, the fuses lit by 1 those with
a Klan-like mentality, have
sought out impartially men of
the cloth as well as others of
goodwill. It is easy in difficult
times to mind one’s own busi
ness, to plow one’s own furrows,
to speak in vague generalities. It
takes integrity and fortitude to
speak up in the face of hostile
opinion and for all this we salute
you tonight.
“We are today going through
the throes of a social revolution
which in its elements is as wide
as the whole world and as nar
row as your next door neighbor.
Our ministers have taken it upon
themselves to carry a heavy load
of the responsibility in bringing
moral precepts to bear upon this
revolution. Not only must clerics
busy themselves with the tasks
of ministering to their flock but
they also must serve as inter
preters and instructors for their
congregations of the precepts of
democracy based upon our reli
gious heritage. These precepts
will stand this country in good
stead in the eternal battle we
have to wage against totalitarian
ism—against undemocratic forces
both at home and abroad.”
On Sunday, members of the
board continued their sessions
with reports on the effect of
such problems as desegration in
Alabama, Tennessee, South Caro
lina and Georgia.

Defense Appeal, from which the
Anti-Defamation League and the
American Jewish Committee re
ceive their support.
