Sunday School Lesson
By Rev. R. E. Handy
Subject—“The Struggle for
Racial Justice
Scripture—Amos 5 to 8
Memory Verse—“Seek good, and
not evil, ttlfft ye may live.”
Amos 5:14.
—The Lesson in Its Present Day
Setting—
Today’s lesson is given by the
prophet Amos who lived eight
hundred years before Christ. His
prophecy before was primarily
to the ten northern tribes who had
revolted from the two remaining
tribes.
At the time it did not seem
that Israel would be annihilated,
yet within fifty years the king
dom was destroyed and the Jews
scattered over the whole face of
the earth.
The function of the Christian
is to so live that his life will be
a criticism to the world and its
conduct to those around it.
True religion refuses to accept
ceremony for the heart worship
of God. True religion will re
ject any and all social injustices
toward any race or rank of social
standards. "
The Christian pleads with men
to turn from evil and love good.
This is what God wants, not
sacrifice or peace offerings 'and
the keeping of frost days, but
justice and righteousness.

Bishop Oxnam Hears About
Religion from Pullman Porter
Little did Sam Williams, pull
man porter on the Santa Fe Chief
know that in expounding his
Christian Philosophy on life, that
the man whom he was addressing
was Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam,
world-known Methodist devine.
Nor did he know the passenger
would be using his words as a
kind of text in an address over
the NBC network on May 4.
Bishop Oxnam began his ad
dress thus: “On the train coming
to Calif., I got up early so I might
walk the platform and breathe
the clean, bracing air of the
mountains, we stopped a moment
in Trinadad/to deliver the mail,
.Sam Williams, the porter asked
‘Did you hear the Secretary’s
speach allright?’ ‘No,’ I replied,
‘there was too much static. I shall
get the text when I reach Albu
querque.’”
“Seems to me the people want
peace, but these men don’t know
how to get it,’ the porter con
tinued, sensible men ought to find
it, but they don’t. Guess they
ought to try the knee way.”
“The knee way?’ I asked, what
do you mean?”
“I mean they better get down
on their knees first, they gotta
have somethin’ different in their
hearts. If they’d get that, they
could press a button and get right
in touch with God. I have to
deal with all kinds of people.
Some of them are so selfish they
expect me to do miricles. they
want what they can’t have. They
ask me for things I can’t get. The
real trouble with them is not the
the outside things they want, but
the inside something they haven’t
got.”
“When Bishop Lowe asked me
to look down the years and con
sidcr the responsibility of our
church for the morrow, I did not
know that I would meet a porter
who would name the road for me.
He tvas right. It must be the
‘Knee Way.”
