Long before the celebrated 'social relevance' of such comics titles as GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW was this one. E.C. comics had briefly touched on racial injustice in such short stories as "Judgment Day!", but never with the spiritual dynamic of this comic which plainly refers to the reality of God and the love of Christ.
This link has the comic in pdf form with larger scans of each page:
