ENEMY OF THE BEST.
The commonplace expression,
“The good is the enemy of the
best,” is a challenging, thought
provoking statement, which is
made all the more effective by
its terse directness. It evidently
means that in the reaching of a
certain degree of excellence or
accomplishment there is the
temptation to “rest on the oars,”
to take things more easily in
stead of using present attainments
as steppingstones to higher and
better stages of progress.
Thus, a certain amount of edu
cation may give satisfaction
with what has been acquired to
the neglect of further efforts to
increase its scope, resulting in
a, limited capacity for progress
and efficiency in one’s field of
action. Or, the. accumulation of
a certain amount of “this world’s’
goods” may lead to selfishness or
to miserliness rather than to the
desire to use them for the bet
terment of others and the fuller
experiences which generous, un
selfish impulses and motives al
ways bring, as exemplified by
Jesus’ challenging and compell
ing statement, “It is more blessed
to give than to receive.”
In the realm of the ethical and
spiritual there is the danger of
becoming self-satisfied with moral
attainment—a “holier than thou”
attitude—instead of seeking to
“grow in grace and in the knowl- j
edge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ” to the end that life may
be enriched thereby and that the
testimony of such life may be
used by Him to incite others to
long for and seek after those
higher and more effective attain
ments which will be honoring to
God and to His Kingdom, as well
as a blessing to others.
In Paul’s letter to the Philip
pians, he presents the thought of
“being at one’s best” in these
words: “Not as though I had al
ready attained . . , but forgetting
those things which are behind,
and reaching forth unto those
things which are before, I press
toward the mark for the prize of
the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus.” A most worthy ambition
to be no more children but to
“grow up unto Him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ.”
Thus, having a continuing and
growing desire to make life count
for the most, we will continually
strive to “make our good better
and our better best.”
—Fred Scott Shepard.

St. Louis Police
Promises Action
In Race Relations
ST. LOUIS. (ANP). More ac
tion to improve race relations
in St. Louis was promised last
week by the St. Louis Board of
Police Commissioners in reply to
a report by George Sehermer for
the St. Louis Council on Human
Relations in connection with the
recent trouble at the Fairgrounds
park swimming pool July 21.
In this report the .police de
partment was accused of being
caught “off guard” in the attack
by whites'upon a group of Ne
groes who went swimming in the
Fairgrounds park pool. The po
lice department’s answer reads:
“The Board of Police Commis
sioners will give careful study
and review to the entire report
in detail of the St. Louis Council
of Human Relations. As soon as
the members of the board and the
chief of police have had an op
portunity to study them, con
structive action will be taken on
the recommendations of the re
port.”
Another outgrowth of the
Fairgrounds came to light last
week when the Board of Educa
tion announced that Dr. T.
Thomas Fortune Fletcher, head
of the L’Ecole Madhane-Alem in
Ethiopia, had refused a job pay
ing $4,200 a year to become an
assistant professor at Stowe
Teachers college because of the
flare-up.
Dr. Fletcher commented in his
letter of rejection:
“I should certainly hate to ex
change the complete freedom and
high honors I enjoy here in a
monarchy for the second class
citizenship of democratic (?) St.
Louis.”
