DR. KELSEY SAYS .. .
“Principle Os Justice Is Man’s Relationship To God’
By ELLIOTT J. PIEZE
“The principle of justice is
man’s relationship to Almighty
God.”
“The things that has happened
in the west, is that democracy has
long since been separated from its
spiritual roots, and there can be
no democracy without spiritual
roots.”
The above are only two of the
many and highly informative
statements made by Dr. George
D. Kelsey, associate professor of
Christian Ethics, Drew Univer
sity. Madison. N. J.. at Mt. Zion
Baptist Church Sunday afternoon.
The principal sneaker at the Anal
program in the 23rd annual forum
series, sponsored by the King of
Clubs of Miami Dr. used
as his subject, “Justice, The Un
finished Task of The West.” A
talented speaker of the first mag
nitude, Dr. Kelsey held his aud
ience practically spell ' bound
throughout his entire address.
The event was also the annual
King of Clubs Day, and a large
and appreciative audience was
present.
Delving deep into his timelv
theme, and keeping his discourse
a high intellectual level, the
Drew University professor pointed
out that—“nearly everybody will
tell you that justice means giving
every man his due.” He added,
“the fundamental principle of
justice is in the determination of
what men are due to receive.”
“Every effort to establish jus
tice on a particular basis or prin
ciple. results in some measure of
injustice to others,” the speaker
continued.
Touching upon the current
communist outlook on the im
portant matter, the speaker ob
served that, “the communist
trkes the position that man’s dig
nity is consistent with his politi
cal inclinations. “But the dignity
of man comes from God.”
Dr. Kelsey emphasizes that
“there are some fundamentally
wrong cultured societies in the
west.” “Communism and Fascism
have not come to the west from
without they are products de
veloped from roots that were al
ready here,” he added.
Clearly indicating his complete
belief in the Almighty God, the
speaker explained that “a man
may be an atheist, but in the
course of his life, he does wor
ship some God.”
“Unless we decide that human
relationship to God, we are going
to find that human dignity in a
man is found in his relationship
to race.”
The doctor injected the timely
thought that “a Christian’s appli
cation of the use of force is I
will refrain myself at the very
point at which I will restrain my
neighbor.”
Very dramatically, the speaker
closed his very conscientious dis
course by stressing the point that
“recovery of an essentially spiri
tually justice and an essentially
moral justice, is the task of the
present day west.”
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Booker T. Wash
ington High School chorus, under
the direction of Mrs. Yeila Wil
liams, with Miss Gloria Thomas
and James Ford serving as pi
anists.
During the afternoon a special
memorial tribute was rendered in
behalf of the deceased members
of the club Henry Smith,
David Solomon and Richard
Roberts.
Judge L. E. Thomas, president
of the clubs, introduced the
members of the club, and gave a
resume of the forum series, and
Forrest W. Reynolds, Sr., chair
man of the club’s forum com
mittee, served as master of cere
monies.
