Show Third Presbyterian Church Much has been said during the month just passed about the greatness of Abraham Lincoln. But we do not often hear about his significance for spirit o? our day. President Lincoln says a recent re-cent writer "came definitely to three decisions to which he gave frequent expression. First he re- fused to allow the poison of hate to pervert his own judgement of men and their actions. Secondly he refused to think of revenge upon either the men or the areas war. And thirdly, . he recognizd for beginning and carrying on the war. And Thirdly, he recognizet that the guilt was not oil cn one site." "Some day the war will end, how will it end, with what spirit, to what purpose Perhaps we shall find in the motives of Lin-roln, Lin-roln, the mind unwarped by passion, pas-sion, accusation or revenge, the way that we can commend to men for the writing of a peace that will endure." Among famous refugees now giving their services in the United Unit-ed States of America, is the name of Dr. Otto A. Piper, formerly professor in the University of Muster, Germany, and disposed from his chair by Hitler regime. He is now professor in New Testament Test-ament studies in Princeton Theological The-ological Seminary. We are told that 1500 refugee doctors are now available for much needed service in this country. Negros follow with interest the reports that lynchings in 1941 totaled one" less than in 1940, four in all, in this country. A new negro- judge in Chicago, Patrick Pat-rick Prescott, Jr., bids fair to bring new justice to people of his race who appear before the courts. At the Third Church, on the comer of 11th East and lVth South, a rather new departure in the form of a Church party which brought out men women and children, young and old, was greatly enjoyed just before Lent. Regular services for adult and youth are held each week. |
