HIJ KLIIX KLAN SUBJECT
AT VESPERSJTESTERDAY
Reverend Walter Riley Says Or
ganization Is un-Christian
and un-American.
Reverend Walter H. Riley, Congre
gational student pastor, spoke at the
regular Y. W. C. A. Vesper services
yesterday afternoon on the subject
"The Ku KIux Klan is Fundamentally
Unchristian and UnAmerican." The
meeting was led by Gertrude Tom
son and Sylvia Cole gave as a vocal
solo one of Lieurance's compositions.
Pamphlets left by the Ku Klux Klan
were distributed at the beginning ot
the service.
Being himself a southerner, Rev.
Riley was able to explain his point
of view on the Klan very vividly.
"The Ku Klux Klan is concerned with
smashing the negroes, it opposes the
Jews and Catholics. Joking and
laughing over its caprices is th besi
thing. Americans have a tendency
to laugh off difficulties. The Ku
Klux Klan is partly a disease and
partly a symptom of a disease. After
the war ihe Ku Klux Klan changed
its hatred from the Germans to other
lines. It is a symptom of after-war
hysteria. It is organized intolerance.
"The .Ku Klux Klan Is unAmerican
because it works in secret. Amer
icanism is a daylight affair. The
fundamental basis of any democracy
is the civilization brought by that
race which can most advance it. We
violate this democracy when we re
fuse to give the black man a chance.
Everyone is entitled to demand his
chance.
"The Ku Klux Klan is unchristian
because it does not believe in the
doctrine of brotherhood. It is tin
obligation of the Christian American
not to put his foot on the neck of
the other races. The Klan violates
the doctrines and law of God. The
Ku Klux Klan is fundamentally un
American and unchristian."
