Matt and Cherry get competitive, showing off their guns. ~ Cherry: "There are only two things more beautiful than a good gun: a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere. Ever had a good. . . Swiss watch?" ~ (Montgomery Clift and John Ireland in Howard Hawks' Red River, 1948.)

John Ireland & Montgomery Clift as Cherry Valance & Matthew "Matt" Garth
in Red River (1948) dir. Howard Hawks
That's a good looking gun you were about to use back there. Can I see it?
[Matt pauses, rubs his nose, half smiles, and whips it out.]
Maybe you'd like to see mine?
[They trade guns and Cherry moves Matt's around in his hand]
Nice. awful nice.
[They smile at each other]

Sermon on Racism
given by John Ireland, Bishop of Minneapolis, preached at Saint Augustine's Church, Washington D.C., on May 5th, 1890.
It makes me ashamed as a man, as a citizen, as a Christian, to see the prejudice that is acted against the coloured citizens of America because of his colour. As to the substance, the coloured man is equal to the white man; he has a like intellect, the same blood courses in their veins; they are both equally the children of a common Father, who is in heaven.
A man shows a narrowness of mind and becomes unworthy of his humanity by refusing any privilege to his fellow man because he is coloured. Every prejudice entertained, every breach of justice and charity against a fellow-citizen because of colour is a stain flung upon the banner of our liberty that floats over us.
No church is a fit temple of God where a man, because of his colour, is excluded or made to occupy a corner. Religion teaches that we cannot be pleasing to God unless we look upon mankind as children of our Father in heaven. And they who order and compel a man because he is coloured to betake himself to a corner marked off for his race, practically contradict the principles of justice and of equal rights established by the God of Mercy, who lives on the altar.
Let Christians act out their religion, and there is no more race problem. Equality for the coloured man is coming. The coloured people are showing themselves worthy of it. Let the coloured be industrious, purchase homes, respect law and order, educate themselves and their children, and keep insisting on their rights.
The colour line must go; the line will be drawn at personal merit.
