The 150th birthday observance of a great American President, Abraham Lincoln, approaches, so perhaps this is a good time to answer this question. It appears that the Negro is in revolt, but actually he is seeking the human dignity and rights that belong to him as they do to any human being, and this awakening has too long been delayed. The Negro is blamed for many of the social ills that exist today in Oregon and other American cities. Many people here presume to speak for him but very little is heard from the Negro. Most of the ills of our urban centers are blamed on him. The South blames all of its ills on the Negro. Recently, the subject has confounded our State Department and hypnotized many of our foreign diplomats. The Negro is blamed for the decay and blight in our city -they say we create slums. But who owned these slums before they were rented to Negroes? Who charges exorbitant rents for these squalid quarters? Who has cut up these quarters to double and triple the number of units for rent? Who permits these unhealthy conditions to arise? Who forced the concentration of Negroes-and other minorities--into these ghettos?

But who administers and enforces the unfair administration of the law? Who gets the graft from illegal operations permitted in predominately Negro districts? Who limits the promotions or positions Negro policemen can have? Certainly, not the Negro. Who attempts to satisfy his desire to do his civic duty by appointing him to minor civil positions to try to mollify his urge for greater repres~ntation? Certainly, not the Negro. We are not presuming that the Negro is without fault; nor that he should be held totally blameless for these social ills. Certainly, there are areas where he can help-and wants to help-and can make a major contribution. The Negro wants to be a more effective and responsible part of Oregon or any other community but he also wants the unfair burden he has been forced to carry off his back. The Negro wants to be among men but as a Man. The Negro can walk but he will walk only as a Man. THE COURAGE OF AB AHAM LINCOLN BY FERN HILSON Sellwood Moreland Bee Tributes will rightfully be paid today to Abraham Lincoln for his courage in the days of the Abolitionist movement and the tragic hours of the Civil War. They should be accompanied by recognition of the equally great courage of the Negro boys and girls who are the first to enter desegregated schools .in the South.

The young ladies were all very charming, wonderful Deb "Bait" and then came the canry and cookie time, which made us all realize that they are still kids.

The answer is, nothing special- iust what everybody else wants - nothing less and nothing more. We don't want any special iobs saved for us or withheld from us. We don't want any special cars in which to ride or special schools to which to go. We don't want any special houses or blocks in which to live or special units of the armed forces from which to fight for freedom. We don't want any special favors to p·ut us ahead - but we don't want any special agreements to hold us back. All we want is equal opportunity with all other Americans to live and work and play, to vote and get an education and be promoted, to fight for our country and-hope to be President like everyone else. More than that we do not ask but with less than that we shall never be content. SUBMimD BY E.

Or whither shall! flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in sheol, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings pf the morning, And dwell in the'uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me." What if we could have been there in person to hear little David sing this most lovely and inspiring psalm, and to hear him interpret its deep spiritual meanings upon the strings of his golden harp! For indeed he was the sweet Psalmist and Musician of Israel. ceeds. Heaven is God's dwelling place, the Office of His High Command and rulership of the universe. "If I make my bed in sheol (the Jew's word for hell), behold, thou art there." But the Jews' conception of hell is not the fire 8Jld brimstone that is a part of Christian Theology. Hell for them is a place of the dead, where there is no life, and neither any conscious awareness of any existence whatsoever. And yet, God is even there because He is all over where nothing is, as well as where something is. "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall 'thy hand lead me." All men live in the immensity of God's bigness -in the infinite vastness of His Almighty-ness. He is an abundant God With blessings and power to give. That is why Jesus taught us to pray: "Our Father, who art in heaven." By ANN MORRISON Mrs. Oliver Smith spent Friday in Salem visiting her husband, Mr. Oliver Smith, who is employed at the capital during the session of the legislature.

"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit," is a question we all may ask ourselves as David did. For his conception of God was an Almighty God -the One and only Universal God from whom all things came. "Or whither: shall I flee from thy Presence?" David adds. EVen more than being a universal God, He is a universal "Presence" and not some little narrow, individual personality on the order of little helpless men on earth. No! God is a "Presence" - an all reaching, all pervading "Presence" to hear and answer the prayers and needs of the peoples and nations He has created in His own image, and after His own likeness.

"If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there.'.' Yes, He is there. He is tsere because heaven is the seat of God's authority-the Throne from which His Divine Command protruth revealed in them is wrought into the emotions, aspirations, desires and sufferings of the people of God by the circumstances through which they live. I like to think of Christianity, first: as a personal experience of Christ; then a journey upon the adventures of life. Some people believe that Christianity is 8Jl argument. Some believe it is a denomination. Some believe it is a personal advantage a certain race happens to have at the moment.
