ST. JAMES A. NJ. E. CHURCH
H. Reddick, Pastor
BY Leroy G. Copes

Sunday last we enjoyed the unusual
pleasure Of listening to Rev. Claybofn
deliver one of the most inspiring SER
mons that we've heard, The sermon
in question was brought forth by way
of two fold text taken from the 18th
and 10Th verses of the fourth chapter
of Matthew, The message did indeed
bring much joy to the hearts of the
adults and much in the way of food
for thought of those of the younger
set who were very much impressed.
Yes, we're looking forward to another
visit from our friend and brother, Rev.
Clayborn.
We of ST. James are very grateful
to Bethesda's junior choir, members of
the congregation, friends, and Rev.
Warrington for having contributed so
much toward our Junior Choir's Rally
being such splendid success and sim
cerely do hope that we may be given
an opportunity to show our appreci-
alton.
We especially invite your attention

THE BIGGEST MENACE

Just about the biggest menace to the
Negro in the United States Senate to-
day is Senator VIM Z. Borah of Ida
no who, conveniently hiding behind the
cloak of constitutionality, now intro
duces an amendment to the proposed
Wagner-Nan Nuys anti-lynching bill
which cuts the heart out of the bill
The aged Senator's proposal is to ell
tirely strike out section of the bill
thereby emasculating the bill.
Section provides for damages OF
from $1,000 to $1,000 to be recovered
from county in which a lynching oc-
ours by the surviving kin of the vic
tim OF the mob Under the section
suit may be brought in the federal dis
trict court to recover these liability
damages This section is considered
as being the only guarantee that coun-
ties and communities will be spurred
to act to prevent lynchings and punish
lynchers.
While the average white resident OF
a community in which a lynching oc-
ours may regret the occurrence, yet he
just doesn't do anything about it. 1t
is just one of those things which hap
mems he reasons Put LET that ivnch-
ing directly affect him, as it would un-
der the Wagner Costigan-Van Mugs
bill and then you'll see some action.
For with section in operation, every
resident of community in which a
lynching has occurred must pay his or
her share of the damages. Appealing
to the heart and christianity of the
southern white man has failed i'll the
past years. Going down into the peck
ct of that same Southerner will mean
a difference
We urge readers of this paper to
write their respective senators in
Washington opposing this attempt OH
the part of Senator Borah to amend
the bill And at the same time we urge
you to remind your senator's that you
will be watching their voting record on
the bill when it comes up for passage
sometime this week.
