MEN AND RELIGION BULLETIN NO.' 9 “The Houses in Our Midst” The Disregard of Taw by Men Sworn to Enforce It Produces Brutality and Crime, < - __ A group of men were gathered in the so-called “restricted dis trict’ ' of a neighboring Georgia town. • A negro stood holding a light. White men held a white woman. Another, beat her until her bare flesh was a bruised mass of blood. They say she had infatuated a young man. Years ago, a number of men, some prominent in church life, caught a woman. Dragging her, they came crying, “Master, this woman hath been taken—in the very act—Moses commanded us to stone such. What then sayest thou of her?’’ Jesus answered, “He that is without sin amongst you, let him first cast a stone.’’ And beginning with the eldest, they slipped away. Jesus, looking up, asked, “Woman, where are they? Did no man condemn thee?’’ “No man, Lord.’’ “Neither do I condemn thee; go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.’’ Another day in Simon’s house, one of them wept at the feet of Je sus; Pharisee Simon was inexpressibly shocked that He should let a woman of the streets touched Him. But He said to her, “Thy sins are forgiven: Thy faith hath saved thee. Go in peace.’’ Pharisee Simon’s pained modesty is not so often remembered as is the pure brutality of those who in the name of law would have stoned the woman. With this living truth as to the sin of us all, many defenders of the Houses in our Mids-t try to give life to a lie and make it appear that war on the owners of the houses is an effort to hurt the women. And they get help from the cold hypocrisy of the numberless suc cessors of Pharisee Simon. These are they who say it is folly to try to help the inmates of the Houses in our Midst. They see not that their hardness of heart is worse than the sin of the women. Protected by these two classes of men, promoters of vice have al most succeeded in making men forget that the safety of pure women, as well as that of those who have fallen by the treachery of men, de pends upon the enforcement of law. The beating of a white woman in the light of a lamp held in a ne gro’s hand is the fruit of the toleration of the houses in defiance of the law. Other men’s sons may run to ruin on the crimson path through the district, but when your boy is lost there, like the father, you will cry: “The woman has ensnared him.’’ No longer then will the evil appear necessary. And doubtless were you the father of the girl so cruelly beaten, re membering when you held her a baby in your arms, you would agree that it is monstrous for men to say that this shame is necessary. In such hours, men, taught disrespect for law by those sworn to enforce it, take law into their own hands and add cruel crime to dis graceful crime. Our city officials in our name are sowing seed which can bring only corruption and disgrace. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man sow eth that shall he also reap.’’ Before the harvest, tiny shoots appear in the field. Look about you • A night not long ago a naked woman with head bleeding from the blow of a beer bottle in the hands of a man ran through our streets. She was crying for death and begging that her mother might not know. Some men, grown familiar with tolerated vice, smiled at the scene. Not many weeks past the body of a man killed in one of the Houses in our Midst in a dispute over the payment for beer was borne to his friends and family. God alone knows the full harvest to be inevitably gathered by Atlanta from this willful disregard of law and the cultivation of the root of the evil, the Houses in our Midst, by those sworn to suppress them.
