Housing
Continued from Paj*e 1
mittee members present. Points
in the resolution included:
There is a critical shortage of
housing for low-income families,
what units available are over
crowded and unsanitary, and the
present rent schedules for these
units are exorbitant.
Slum areas are developing in
Lincoln because low-rent hous
ing promised months ago by pri
vate enterprises have not ma
terialized.
The only certain relief in sight
is a public housing project as
provided by the Taft-Ellender
Wagner act to be administered
by the Lincoln Housing Author
ity.
Present at the committee’s
dinner were City Councilmen
Roy Sheaff and Rees Wilkinson
and about 100 committee mem
bers and citizens were present.
The dinner was open to anyone
interested.

Micah’s Plea for Human Rights
Scripture—Micah 1:1; 2:1,2; 3:5
12; 6:6-8.
Memory Selection—He hath shew
ed thee, O man, what is good;
and what doth the Lord re
quire of thee, but to do justly,
and to love mercy, and to walk
humbly with thy God. Micah
6:8.
The Message of Micah—T h e
prophet Micah was a man with
a great and vital message for the
people .of his time. The fall of
Samaria became the occasion for
his first great messages. The vil
lage of Moresheth, in which he
lived, was southwest of Jerusalem,
on the highlands overlooking the
Phillistine Plains. The Mediter
ranean Sea was visible in the dis
tance, Between the sea and the
hills, along the plain, ran that
famous warpath of the ancient
world, along which the great
armies marched.
“The Book of Micah presents a
somewhat similar problem to that
of Isaiah. We have, moreover,
one sure landmark, we might say,
the surest in Old Testament proh
ecy. Micah 3:12 is quoted in
Jeremiah 26:18, by Jeremiah’s de
fenders as a precedent of a man
who, in the reign of Hezekiah, de
nounced the city (Jerusalem) and
still did not suffer death. This
vouches for both the date and the
tone of Micah’s message.
“He was a country man, who
quite likely, because of the Assy
rian campaigns, came to live in
Jerusalem. He saw city life with
the clear eyes of an unsophisti
cated, honest, democratic, rustic
lad. He was a kindred spirit to
Amos, with a little more of an
Elijah in his make-up. Along with
a good literary gift he had a
consuming passion for righteous
ness. The city civilization, with
its follies, its iniquities, and its
inequalities, appalled him. Kings
and princes, prophets and priests,
all were false, murderers, grafters,
liars, drunkards, covetous, un
clean and immoral; so were all the
city dwellers. The city itself was
the cesspool of civilization. Sa
maria was the sin of Jacob, Jeru
salem was the sin of Judah. Hence
the city must be wiped out. Such
was the message of this man, in
stinging, scathing accents, poured
out upon the corrupt city shortly
before 701 B.C., when he saw the
Assyrian army on the Palestinian
horizon.”—I. G. Matthews, Old
Testament Life and Literature,
Macmillan’s 1927.
Micah as Prophet and Spiritual
Leader. When we read the words
of Micah they seem terribly se
vere. But we must remember that
while Micah spoke, he saw before
him the bent backs and wasted
lives of the people whom he
championed. It may be because
of the reality of the urgency of
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
wrote “There was a little girl
and she had a little curl right
in the middle of her forehead.”

t
his mission that Micah shows so
clearly that he grasped the two
fold life that is so essential to
real prophetic ministry—the vis
ion of Divine judgment, and sym
pathy with sinful and exploited
humanity. He is on the side of
God; through conviction of the
Divine righteousness he enters
into the secrets of judgment, but
what he sees is so terrible that
he swings around to the side of
man. This change from sterness
to sympathy is not weakness or
inconsistency; it is real prophetic
strength. This spirit is the source
of power with God, and influence
over men. The prophet because
he is so close to God is driven
close to the hearts of men.
PRESENT-DAY APPLICATION
By Frederick D. Jordan
Los Angeles, Calif.
Micah sets forth the essential
elements of true religion for any
age. Jesus emphasized it and
helps us to realize all that is in
volved. All through the Bible
ethical righteousness is taught
along with divine worship and re
ligious forms. The New Testament
shows us how righteousness may
be implanted in our lives. Jesus
showed us the way in which man
is empowered to fulfill the re
quirements of true religion. Any
amount of sacrifice cannot make
up for our lack of duty to our
neighbor and to God. In Los An
geles stands a beautiful church,
with chimes, stained glass win
dows, etc. It is the gift of one
man—a man who through busi
ness manipulations and favorable
government administration, cheat
ed both the government and
thousands of individual investors
of their life’s savings. He was
seeking to atone for his sin in
this way. God cannot be satis
fied with offerings made for sin,
however big they may be. Today
there is much talk about “civil
rights,” but mostly talk. There is
too much of a sense of securtiy
and self-satisfaction in the men
in our government for them to
have any real interest in human
