"The time is always right to do right"

On Martin Luther King Day "On Milwaukee" remembers Dr. King's Jan. 27, 1964 speech:

.... At the Auditorium Dr. King spoke to 6,300 Milwaukeeans for about 40 minutes. Here are some of the highlights:

"It may be true that you cannot legislate morality but behavior can be regulated."

"Law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless."

"Time is neutral. It can be used either constructively or destructively ... We must help time and we must realize that the time is always right to do right." ....

About "One Eternal Day"

The title, "One Eternal Day," is from the hymn "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand" [1787] by Samuel Stennett, a prominent English Sabbatarian Baptist. A verse from that hymn refers to the "Sabbath rest" believers will enjoy in the "promised land."

"One Eternal Day" will usually call attention to the work of others. This is my chance to pass along things that I enjoyed, profited from, or that say well what I wish I'd said.

I am a Baptist, a member of a church affiliated with Seventh Day Baptists, and some posts will reflect that identification.
