in the Old Testament," he will. "the lines of reparation are iilltll only along religious and r. racial lines. When we turn 'o :in Now Testament it is equal- 7l' limit that separatenesn was on the basis of religion and culture and not. on the grounds of race w- c'lmic origins . . .

and no basis for it in Christian theologies. the question natural- ly arise: How can segregation and discrimination in the Church be justified? What can the churches do to put themselves in line with the Gospel, the practices of the ancient and mediaeval church and in line with the findings of mod- ern science?"
Answers given by the churches in Evanston were clear and un- equivocal. For example, Rev. John .1. Davidson. president of Davidson College (N.C.). said in commenting on the recent U. 8. Supreme Court decision declar- ing segregation in public schools unoonstltuational: "The attitude of our churches in the south. where the problems must be worked out, has been tremendously inspiring. I know of no church in the south which has not acted in complete approval of the position of the supreme Court. I think the ecumenical spirit of our age has had a part in this understanding of our churches."
THREE DUTIES
Alan Paton. author of Cry the Beloved Country, told the visitors that "the Christian Church has three duties in resp'ect to race: (1) that of witnessing within the church and to the world that Christ came to all men; (2) that of judg- gtng a duty of condemning every injustice in matters of race; and (3) that of awakening its own members to their responsibilities as Christians in the world. and strengthening them in every cf- fort that they make for justice and for peace."
All the men that we have quoted are in close personal con- tact with the problem. They are not theorists judging others from afar. They know ilie difficulties involved, and the price that has often to be paid for consistency in the practice of these principles. Yet the above is their understand- ing of the Christian position.
The World Council, which re- ceived this report and listened to these addresses, said: "The call- ing of the church is to witness within itself to the Klngship of
Christ and the unity of His people in Him, transcending all diversity . . . their calling re-
quires Christians to witness to the Kingship of Christ and the unity of all mankind. and to strive through social and political action to secure for all men justice, freedom. and peace as a
