X A <• ,>QOO»OOOOOC" I ‘ ’ *-•-• ECCLESIA LOCUTUS EST. ( Ecelesia locutus est. This means 1 the Church hath spoken. In days of 1 old when the authority of the Church , because she spoke with one voice and ] not with many discordant voices, was ■*" * recognized this meant that a judg ment from which there was no furth er appeal had been given, and that > they who value their soul’s salvation i must listen and obey. Today of course ' ecclesiastical unity does not exist, but 1 at the same time there is a common 1 Christian consciousness, which will ! hearken to the voice of the Christian Church, w'hich includes all organiza tions of Christians, when it speaks ’ clearly and fearlessly on moral issues and for justice and righteousness. The trouble has been that the Christ- ( tlan pulpit has been criminally silent . against terrible wrongs and injustices. , social and economic, which have ex isted all too long in the United States. The American Church, and by this term we would include all the re- j ligious forces of America, has been affected with an acute moral astyg matism which made it purblind to do- 1 mestic ills and injustices and keen sighted as to the wrongs prevailing in foreign lands. Armenian massa cres evoked, and justly, righteous in dignation. American atrocities against black citizens were too trivial to be noticed. This attitude, considered by many hypocritical, has brought cen sure upon the Church. Fortunately, however, the American Church is be ginning to speak out against evils at home. Various religious bodies have of late expressed themselfes in no un certain tines against lawlessness and mob violence. The most conservative , are being moved to find a voice. A recent notable case in point is the ac tion by the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Georgia, where the Bishop of that conservative diocese made a strong appeal for the people of his communion to take a stand against mob violence and an unlawful and unwarranted organization which can but provoke violence and strife. What is more notable perhaps is the fact the convention heartily endorsed the utterance of its bishop and took de cisive actions towards creating a sen timent which must dethrone lawless ness. This shows that when Christion leaders show courage for the right their followers will support them. A great burden and responsibility rests upon the Christian Church of Amer ica today to stem lawlessness. The demand is urgent for fearless re ligious leaders who will have the Lordmoral courage to say, “Thus saith the Lord.” “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murder hath eternal life abid ing in him.” I>et the American Church speak out unequivocally and plainly, showing the people their transgressions and their sins and the clouds, heavy and ominous which hover over our nation will lift. Let the Church speak. _ MASONS ELECT OFFICERS The Omaha I^odge No., 9 A. F. & A. M. met Thursday night June 2 and elected the following officers for a term of one year: Geo. T. Robinson W. M.; E. D.
