-	I hope I'm safe.	0:32
	In concluding that most of you have	0:35
	long since celebrated with me the	0:38
	ending of the civil war	0:43
	and will permit me to speak of one of the famous generals.	0:44
	General Otis Howard.	0:49
	The institution where I'm privileged to serve bears his name	0:52
	and he was it's third president	0:55
	and currently we are enjoying	0:58
	observing our centennial year.	1:02
	Of course we're concerned about the next 100 years but	1:07
	in view of what some of you may have read on yesterday	1:13
	you can understand where some of us	1:15
	are just concerned to get through next year.	1:16
	You may have read that there has been a--	1:22
	long with our centennial a sort of confrontation	1:25
	between administration	1:28
	and some students and faculty.	1:30
	And since I understand that such confrontations	1:33
	are being shared among several schools	1:35
	including yours	1:37
	I guess we can take a strange comfort	1:39
	in that kind of equality.	1:42
	But grace has brought us on thus far	1:45
	and I'm sure that grace or the new left	1:47
	will do its share to lead us on	1:51
	into the future.	1:53
	But I mention Howard because	1:55
	it has been in view of a literal fact	2:00
	concerning the life of General Howard	2:02
	that has sparked what I call	2:07
	meditations for the left hand.	2:10
	For in the battle during the civil war	2:14
	near Richmond, Virginia	2:16
	General Howard lost his right arm	2:19
	had to be amputated.	2:23
	And he went through the war	2:26
	and the rest of his life	2:28
	with just an empty sleeve.	2:31
	He had tried an artificial arm but he didn't like it.	2:34
	And he went through life with the empty sleeve.	2:38
	Certainly thinking about the suggestive images that	2:44
	would some how catch the theme of his life	2:49
	this scripture came to mind.	2:54
	As I considered, not his work at Howard	2:56
	but his work for many educational institutions.	3:01
	Predominately negro, but only negro	3:06
	in the south in cooperation with many denominations	3:10
	and other groups.	3:13
	Liberally, in the context of our scripture	3:18
	which was read for you from Matthew.	3:21
	The 6th chapter the third verses and those following.	3:24
	General Howard did not let his left hand know	3:32
	what his right hand was doing first because he couldn't.	3:38
	But symbolically he did not either.	3:42
	For Howard University, was founded in the prayer meeting	3:46
	in the First Congregational Church.	3:50
	Tenth and G in Washington, D.C.	3:52
	And it seems an appropriate fitting for	3:56
	the recent period in which we have observed	3:58
	and celebrated the centennial Civil War occasions	4:02
	and also in which many institutions	4:05
	not only Howard that this current time	4:08
	or just a few years away will be observing 100 years.	4:10
	It suggest something about a minority	4:15
	that is relevant and which can be explored	4:19
	as we consider the ranges of the left hand.	4:22
	Incidentally there is a current	4:26
	article in Ebony magazine	4:29
	the May issue of May Ebony magazine	4:31
	by Hans J. Massaquoi under a title	4:33
	'Left is the Maligned Minority'	4:37
	He says that whatever your color, your sex, your nationality	4:40
	or previous condition of servitude chances are	4:43
	that you are one of an estimated 200 million left handers.	4:48
	That much neglected and maligned minority.	4:52
	Now I speak from a minority group very often	4:56
	likewise I speak to a minority group very often	5:00
	but this is going to be very enjoyable to me	5:03
	because I'm privileged to speak now to a minority	5:05
	that we can pick out of this group.	5:09
	For some of you are left handed	5:11
	and Massaquoi says that you are,	5:12
	you have a lot of problems.	5:15
	You live in a right handed world for one thing.	5:17
	He said only the right handed hand shake will do.	5:20
	It's proper that only the right hand	5:23
	should hold the writing pen.	5:25
	Only the right hand is to be trusted when raising	5:27
	and taking the oath.	5:30
	There are many things that lefters have to suppress	5:32
	or many things in which they will have to conform	5:35
	in a right handed pulp	5:37
	or be miserable amidst gadgets	5:39
	and tools and musical instruments	5:42
	buttons and keys and what not.	5:44
	However, the word is not hopeless.	5:47
	For one message for the left handers	5:52
	is that there is hope on the way.	5:56
	He reports that after reviewing the various theories	5:58
	about how we have diverse differentiations by the hand,	6:01
	he then concludes	6:04
	by saying that manufactures now	6:07
	are considering left handers	6:08
	and you'll be able to get all sort of instruments	6:10
	Left handed musical instruments, left handed scissors	6:12
	and so that there's hope for you.	6:15
	For those of you then that have wondered about the title	6:17
	and you're left handed	6:20
	that is the message for you	6:21
	that comes out of a recent article	6:23
	and some research about left handed people in the world.	6:24
	But really the minority with which	6:29
	I have been concerned	6:32
	and the perspective of the life of General Howard	6:34
	uh, properly fits the minority I think	6:38
	to whom Jesus was talking in Matthew.	6:40
	For Jesus was talking to a minority	6:45
	He was talking to his disciples	6:47
	and those who had come to join His band	6:49
	He was giving a sermon on the mount	6:53
	the situation over against which He spoke.	6:57
	Was a situation of the Pharisees.	7:00
	If we were honest with ourselves we could not say	7:03
	that these were wicked people,	7:05
	they were upstanding citizens of the community.	7:06
	People who took their religion seriously	7:09
	but people who as Jesus saw it	7:13
	had not broken through to the proper balance	7:17
	that God always call us to in a form of liberation.	7:21
	They had not outwitted the ego	7:26
	as Allan Watts talks about it in 'Beyond Theology'.	7:28
	They had not broken the circle of self conscientiousness.	7:33
	So, as although they had intended	7:37
	for this was not a part of their tradition.	7:39
	He used the proverb like statement	7:42
	even when they prayed	7:45
	their left hand knew exactly	7:48
	what their right hand was doing	7:50
	so they blew trumpets	7:53
	so that they would call attention to it.	7:55
	Or they stood in the street	7:58
	so that they could be seen of men.	8:00
	Not evil people, serious people	8:04
	but they had not outwitted the ego.	8:07
	They had not prepared themselves	8:12
	to get into the vision were God works	8:16
	and God works in secret.	8:18
	God works upon the heart.	8:21
	Now Jesus said to His disciples	8:25
	When you give your arms	8:28
	when you do your works of your righteousness.	8:31
	Don't let the right hand	8:35
	know what the left is doing	8:39
	and don't let the left know what the right is doing.	8:40
	This is the message	8:42
	that Matthew reports for us for the left hand.	8:46
	It's well known, it's familiar	8:49
	and I suggest this morning it might be helpful	8:51
	for us in the university setting first,	8:53
	to see how this may apply to us	8:55
	and then let's look at it	8:58
	in a fast moving era of our lives of social change	9:00
	in the urban community	9:03
	and finally view it in it's ultimate context for all of us.	9:05
	I think Jerome S. Bruner,	9:08
	in his book written in 19 hundred 62	9:11
	'On Knowing' with the subtitle, Essays for the Left Hand.	9:13
	You may be familiar with it	9:18
	those of you who are in Psychology.	9:20
	He said that he has written the book	9:22
	because from a child	9:24
	he's always been struck by the symbolism	9:25
	of the right and left hand.	9:28
	And you might say that a man	9:31
	reaching with a right hand is, is the reach of science.	9:33
	He said that's not so important alone	9:38
	the most exciting thing about that is	9:41
	the great hypotheses however,	9:43
	are gifts held in the left hand.	9:46
	And he said this has intrigued him.	9:49
	Really you could say that when man	9:52
	reaches with the left hand	9:55
	he reaches for art	9:57
	but we could not say that the right hand	9:58
	is not important because man needs technique.	10:00
	He needs order.	10:04
	But he has written this book	10:06
	primarily to explore the range of the left hand,	10:07
	and it's influence upon the act of knowing.	10:11
	He has found that in the process of writing in his field	10:16
	of psychology, usually the journals report	10:19
	to the abstraction which are necessary.	10:22
	The work of the right hand,	10:25
	but it says here that	10:28
	he has found that as he has studied	10:29
	and done further investigations	10:30
	that it's also interesting to get the other kind of writing,	10:33
	Where people let you know about the metaphors.	10:36
	The intuitive processes.	10:40
	Which are usually symbolized by the left hand	10:43
	because he feels that man will find that proper rhythm,	10:46
	even in the pursuit of knowledge and truth	10:49
	whereby he can catch the metaphors	10:52
	and then domesticate them	10:55
	and make them ready to be tested.	10:59
	He's really concerned about that perception	11:03
	of the intuitive processes of mankind.	11:08
	Whereby we can then make the shift	11:11
	to the right hand	11:16
	and we can work with order	11:17
	and with imagination.	11:19
	That's a word for the left hand	11:22
	of those who pursue truth within the university.	11:25
	I've always been intrigued in my own life	11:28
	at Boston University when the school was consolidating	11:30
	having been located all over the city	11:33
	and they brought together the School of Theology	11:35
	right up the street, they brought the School of Fine Arts	11:38
	and I never will forget that the students	11:40
	in the College of Business	11:41
	always looked at the ministers you see	11:44
	and the artists as if we were some kind of queer individuals	11:46
	you now how this kind of mentality works.	11:50
	Well actually it's only a symbol	11:54
	but it does seem sometimes if the artist has to apologize.	11:56
	It does seem sometimes if the minister is too sentimental.	12:02
	And while it might be,	12:06
	but maybe this word from Jerome Bruner,	12:08
	just a word for an appreciation of the left hand	12:11
	might put into proper perspective	12:14
	the interdisciplinary concerns which we all ought	12:17
	to consider as we go on into the new century	12:19
	and consider the problems of our time.	12:22
	Now Jerome Bruner says	12:26
	that if we consider then the left hand	12:29
	not be ashamed of it	12:32
	and work out within internal processes	12:34
	the ability to make the shift.	12:38
	He believes that education will be freer	12:42
	and those of us who march from the campuses	12:44
	will be more competent not only	12:47
	of the mind, but of the heart and of the soul.	12:50
	And so there's a message for the left hand	12:55
	relevant to the university.	12:57
	But now those of us that consider the words of Jesus	13:01
	the minority disciples consider if you will	13:03
	the minority of us who are privileged to participate	13:06
	in higher education.	13:09
	Think about what General Howard symbolized	13:11
	for people who had capacity, but not a chance.	13:15
	As I think about General Howard	13:19
	and his relevance for communicating to us	13:21
	some of the messages that come across the readings for the	13:23
	left hand.	13:27
	I think of the fact that General Howard	13:29
	literally worked in that portion of the 19th century	13:32
	which he lived and died.	13:35
	He literally worked with the left hand.	13:39
	The Freedmen's Bureau was the OEO	13:40
	of his time and General Howard	13:44
	was the first and only man to head it up.	13:46
	An effort of America	13:50
	to make good on it's promise of democracy.	13:51
	Catching the frustrated and disorganized people	13:55
	that came out of the Civil War.	13:58
	Primarily Negroes but some white.	14:01
	Trying to structure the concern of the country for them.	14:04
	You should read his life	14:09
	and find out how many times he was investigated.	14:10
	And likewise how many times he was cleared.	14:13
	It seems like when you're working the area	14:15
	here where an accounting is not enough.	14:17
	We need people who are appreciative of the left hand.	14:21
	When you are working with bringing people's soul	14:26
	and mind and heart together.	14:28
	You need a room for imagination	14:31
	and so it was with General Howard	14:34
	and so it opened up all sorts of criticisms.	14:35
	I say that in order to point out	14:39
	to the unfinished business of education today,	14:41
	which alerts us again to the sensitivity's of the left hand	14:44
	and the right hand.	14:46
	You know the hearings that are currently being held on OEO?	14:49
	They're many things to be cleared up,	14:54
	but I can look into the urban areas	14:55
	and see program after program dying	14:58
	and the urban areas once again becoming tender boxes.	15:02
	Somehow even within the processes of our government	15:06
	the message for the left hand	15:11
	as Bruner formulates it for us in the university	15:13
	as it is made more profound by the insight that comes	15:16
	through the gospel of Matthew.	15:19
	Those of us who are privileged	15:22
	to work in the areas of mind and heart	15:24
	maybe to work in the government	15:28
	or to be sensitive once again to these.	15:29
	You take the Head Start program	15:32
	have you had the experience	15:34
	of watching young people open up?	15:36
	They have the capacity but they've never had the chance.	15:40
	This was the kind of left handed venture	15:43
	that our government began	15:46
	and channeled first through the Freedmen's Bureau,	15:48
	which died after only one leader.	15:50
	Will that be the same for OEO?	15:54
	Somehow we need an appreciation of the left hand.	15:57
	I wonder if the strict accounting is enough?	15:59
	Shouldn't we try to translate	16:03
	all these programs into such a form	16:04
	that God who has the vision to see in secret,	16:07
	will not necessarily reward us now	16:10
	but will reward us eventually.	16:13
	This seems to me to be another message	16:15
	for the left hand	16:17
	of those who work in imaginative	16:19
	programs in our government.	16:21
	Now think of the urban area for just a moment.	16:24
	Think of urban renewal.	16:28
	Was and has urban renewal been really a process	16:32
	of tearing down old houses	16:36
	or has it been a process of removing people	16:38
	who were bad for business.	16:41
	Now to be sure there are many programs	16:43
	that were conceived	16:45
	but men who work as I found in Chicago	16:47
	a few years ago	16:50
	and never confirmed it until I came back to Harvard	16:51
	to read a thesis that was done by a man	16:54
	who sat in the inner chambers.	16:56
	He admitted that he sat there.	16:58
	That many times the urban renewal program	17:00
	and some sections of that city	17:03
	were wonderful thing for business men	17:07
	because while they could say with straight faces	17:08
	we're trying to remove the blight.	17:11
	They were so happy it was clearing the undesirables out	17:14
	of the community.	17:17
	And so it was, but you see that's	17:18
	left-handed, right-handed information interlocked.	17:22
	And maybe the tender boxes	17:27
	in the urban communities today	17:29
	indicate that these men have had their reward.	17:33
	And their children are reaping the whirlwind.	17:37
	I will be very cautious here,	17:43
	I will not make a statement in this regard	17:44
	that everybody be careful	17:47
	there's going to be another Watts.	17:48
	We have to be careful that in saying this	17:49
	we don't hint things to persons	17:51
	who have no social responsibility.	17:53
	But I am suggesting that these urban problems remain	17:56
	and that this Word of God	18:00
	and this formulation for us	18:02
	and the university community to be sensitive	18:03
	to the imaginative dimension of our life	18:06
	is still a crying need in our time.	18:10
	General Howard and Sergeant Shriver	18:15
	Senator you may be, whatever it is	18:18
	the church must work through laymen	18:21
	who work in the world	18:23
	and hopefully they are sensitized	18:24
	to not let the left hand know what the right hand is doing.	18:27
	Let me share with you a personal experience of some	18:30
	surprises with respect to this.	18:33
	A few years ago in New England	18:35
	a judge confronted the church	18:37
	with this question	18:39
	you have been preaching redemption	18:41
	why don't you try to practice it	18:43
	for many of the boys and girls	18:45
	that really shouldn't be sent to the institution	18:47
	to become hardened criminals.	18:48
	And do something with them	18:51
	and practice this redemption on them.	18:52
	Well one church and denomination	18:53
	heard his point was the American Baptist,	18:55
	and they set out into the Mid West	18:57
	and got a member of their juvenile protection	18:59
	society and brought him out to New England.	19:01
	And took one of their newest camps	19:03
	and opened it for a month	19:05
	for a different kind of camping	19:07
	not to those who left the church	19:09
	that was alright and still needed	19:11
	but for those pre-delinquents, you know	19:13
	the ones had removed the bicycles, broken the glass	19:15
	nothing serious needing some kind of understanding	19:19
	and they selected from the area personnel	19:23
	especially picked to work was this new kind of camping	19:25
	and I was fortunate to be one.	19:29
	We were asked to go out two weeks before it opened	19:31
	but this seemed rather harsh	19:33
	I had worked for years as a theologian	19:34
	in the theological in Boston South end,	19:36
	one of the toughest districts in the world	19:40
	and I filed for that job	19:43
	I had some commitments	19:44
	and I wouldn't change them	19:45
	why should I go I knew the problem	19:46
	so I went about three days late	19:48
	and after I arrived, I was sorry	19:49
	for there they had assembled	19:51
	all of the available resources of the community	19:52
	from high school principals, social workers,	19:55
	pastors, et cetera.	19:57
	They were getting the best insight	19:59
	and the best condition into which to practice	20:03
	the redemption that we praised.	20:05
	One of the codes we adopted was never to hit a person	20:08
	no corporal punishment.	20:10
	I took it with a smile for I was reared in Texas	20:12
	with a grandmother who loved me	20:14
	but she did not spare the rod.	20:16
	I thought this wouldn't work with them, but we tried it.	20:17
	And I was surprised one day at my camp	20:19
	when the youngsters said to me	20:22
	as they said to many of the counselors,	20:24
	Why don't you hit us?	20:25
	Well I'd been preaching it, I hadn't thought about it	20:28
	Why don't you hit us?	20:30
	And then they said everybody else does.	20:31
	And I put that away in my mind surprised.	20:33
	I was thinking mostly about my experience,	20:36
	you see the right hand was beginning to come in	20:38
	I wasn't open for the experience.	20:40
	It went on through many surprises like that.	20:42
	We had another one.	20:45
	They were a hard core of young people	20:46
	who just didn't believe that these	20:48
	nice, sweet church people could really turn the other cheek	20:51
	so one boy we called Manny	20:57
	for whom I have testified ever sense,	21:00
	for this is my theme.	21:02
	Manny didn't believe it	21:04
	and he would pick up a rock	21:04
	and wait until only until,	21:06
	seven of the counselors were near bay,	21:09
	and then he would toss it at one of those lovely	21:10
	one hundred dollar plate glass windows.	21:13
	He broke one, he broke two	21:16
	after the second one we had a trustee from the	21:19
	Baptist convention, who had come along to try to	21:21
	play the game, but after the second one hundred dollar	21:24
	plate glass window he became concerned.	21:27
	So one day as we came out of the camp into the opening	21:30
	we found this director with Manny on his knee	21:33
	wailing the life out of him.	21:36
	Have you ever had the vicarious experience of	21:37
	having someone do what you wanted to do	21:40
	while at the same time blaming them for doing it?	21:43
	That was the experience some of us had	21:47
	for we felt that while we were being surprised	21:49
	by what we discovered with this principal	21:53
	we felt it couldn't be applied across the board.	21:56
	But we kept working with him	22:02
	and Manny was still the one who didn't believe it.	22:03
	He would wait until the director would announce	22:05
	that there would be announcements, pull your seats	22:07
	and only after he made that statement would he stand up	22:09
	and go out and carefully scientifically slam the door.	22:12
	Well, the director came to us one day	22:18
	and said we're going to have call a meeting on Manny.	22:20
	Well we all knew that was going to have to come	22:23
	and we said we're gonna have to show you,	22:24
	you just can't you know, be this way about it	22:25
	and I'll never forget that meeting it was	22:29
	called at 12 midnight, this was that kind of camp	22:30
	you had to hope they were asleep.	22:33
	And we walked into that meeting	22:36
	and nothing was said for about three minutes.	22:38
	Then the director asked this question,	22:41
	as we thought about Manny and others.	22:44
	What is Manny trying to tell us?	22:47
	Well you know I never thought about that.	22:51
	I thought about what I wanted to tell Manny.	22:53
	I never thought of it.	22:58
	And we decided to take him home for the benefit of the camp.	23:01
	And I was selected with another person	23:04
	to drive him in to Providence, Rhode Island.	23:05
	I'll never forget that morning surprise.	23:07
	We drove into the city, parked in front of his house	23:09
	at ten o'clock in the morning	23:12
	went up two flights of stairs, opened the door	23:13
	and there sat his mother with hair disheveled	23:16
	with four men around the table	23:19
	covered with all sorts of alcoholic beverages.	23:22
	The first and only sentence she said to him was	23:26
	What are you doing home?	23:29
	I thought you weren't due for two more weeks.	23:30
	That was what Manny was trying to tell us.	23:34
	Now I think we were justified in taking him home	23:40
	for the benefit of the camp, but somehow	23:42
	the call to liberation that comes out of Matthew,	23:45
	to think of imaginative ways, predictive ways	23:50
	second-mile-ways to help him, missed us.	23:54
	He spent about two times after that in the reform schools.	24:00
	Helpfully, hopefully, and wonderfully	24:03
	the beneficent Congregational Church of Providence	24:05
	taught him so that he could finish school	24:08
	and they put him the direction of a job.	24:10
	But the thing is that in the urban communities	24:13
	we need people motivated by their religious commitments.	24:17
	To be sensitive to the left hand	24:24
	respect the right hand of order and authority	24:27
	and discipline, yes there's a place for it.	24:30
	But always to be open for the imaginative things.	24:33
	In the area of human relations	24:38
	and we may save another man	24:41
	whose parents got their start	24:45
	from a man with one arm	24:48
	who was sensitive to the left.	24:50
	Well we've seen the message from the left hand	24:54
	generally to a minority, we've seen it	24:56
	as it has been articulated through the university.	24:59
	We has seen it as it has spoken	25:01
	and can speak specifically to the urban community	25:03
	Now find another considerate in it's alternate dimension.	25:06
	And Dietrich Bonhoeffer can interpret it for us here	25:10
	he says, differing with Jerome Bruner,	25:14
	no he's not interested	25:19
	in exploring the left hand to see it's effect upon knowing.	25:20
	In the sense that Bruner meant it, yes.	25:26
	But he says as we look at this passage from Matthew,	25:28
	Jesus is saying,	25:32
	man should not to attempt to be satisfied	25:35
	with simply distinguishing good from evil.	25:41
	So that he knows when he does well, that he does well.	25:44
	This is not separating the left hand from the right	25:49
	No Jesus is calling us to complete dependence upon Him	25:52
	so that we do not take too much time out	25:57
	to be judgemental and to be reflective	26:01
	and omit to the call to action.	26:04
	When this is done says he,	26:09
	then we're able to hear this later word that Matthew	26:12
	records for us.	26:16
	When Jesus gathers those around him	26:18
	as the shepherd gathers the sheep and goat.	26:22
	And said those of you on my right hand	26:25
	you fed me when I was hungry,	26:27
	you gave me water when I was thirsty,	26:29
	you visited me in prison.	26:31
	Come up and receive the rewards of my father.	26:33
	And they said when did we see thee thirsty	26:36
	and you see that's it the surprise.	26:40
	The message of the left hand	26:42
	when did we see thee imprisoned	26:43
	and those on the right hand	26:45
	who had trumpets and who did it to be seen of men	26:47
	were left out, I covered for you	26:51
	the message of the left hand.	26:55
	That causes you to move into life	26:59
	to await the judgment of God.	27:02
	Oh thou great companion of our souls	27:17
	do thou go with us today	27:20
	and comfort us by the sense of they presence.	27:21
	In the hours of spiritual isolation.	27:23
	Give us a single eye for duty	27:27
	give us by the voice within, abidance	27:29
	that we may take heed in all the judgements of thyself	27:33
	and gather patiently whatever truth they hold.	27:38
	And now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling	27:44
	and to prevent you faultless	27:47
	before the presence of his majesty with exceeding joy.	27:49
	To the all wise God our Father	27:52
	be majesty, dominion and power.	27:54
	Both now and forever more.	27:56
