December 1, 1947
How much we had to be
thankful for as we gathered
yesterday for the Thanksgiv-
ing day service in the Zion
Mountain View Chapel! With
a number of about seventy
present we realized how much
God had blessed us since the
last Thanksgiving day when
we met in this building which
at that time had no roof, no
windows, doors or floor. Our
weather was perfect with the
temperature up to 80 degrees
- a bit of contrast with the
cold and snow of other parts.
In the evening we conducted
the second Bible class of new
work which God has permitted
us to start. In a home out on

CARD OF THANKS

With heartfelt gratitude we
thank our many friends and
relatives for their kind remem-
brance of us in our deep sor-
row through the passing of our
beloved husband and father.
Their expressions of sympathy
and coincidence were very
real comfort to us.

northwest of Sunnyslope, by
the fireside and seated about
on the concrete floor were a
number of neighborhood chill
dren gathered to sing and hear
teaching from Gods word.
Twenty children, including
four which came along with
us, were present as were also
the mother and grandmother
of the seven children which
live in this home.
We realize that even in A
merica, where about two-thirds
of the children never enter
Gods house, there is a real OPP
portunity to reach the heath
en- in our country. It has been
said that America is the most
lawless country in the world.
''In a single decade more A
mericans were killed by assas-
sins than were slain in a CEN
fury and a half of battles"
Think of it! May God help us
to devote more time to the chill
dren who are, for the most
part, not receiving Gods Word
in the home
We are happy to say that the
plan to construct classroom
facilities in the back part of
the chapel is now being car
ried out. Last Wednesday,
Mr.. Dewitt Inman, his son
Sammy Inman and Deacon
Joseph Baker constructed the
rough work for the partition
wall which will enclose the
classroom department.
We thank God for the bles-
sings we have, as individuals,
in the wondrous salvation of
Christ Jesus and for the fact
that we are complete in Him;
then for the privilege of fam
lily worship in the home, and
also for the opportunities we
have as a group of Gods chill
dren.
Pray for us and the work
which is to be done in this
area.

POWELL on LYNCFIN@C POLL TAX
FAIRNESS OF CURLEYS TRIAL IS QUESTIONED
Was CurIey Trial Fair ?

Proctor's action in permitting
the jury thus to separate was,
it seems, a definite violation of
law. Furthermore it indicates
that a far trial in District of
Columbia is impossible when it
becomes necessary to lock up a
jury in the course OF its deliber-
alton. Bar colored from the
jury service? That would be
further violation of the Consti-
tuition,
Judge Proctor, it seems, erred
in the CurIey case by his failure
to keep the jury intact until its
deliberations ended. How can it
be known to what influences the
jurymen were subjected outside
the court?
OF the three judges of the
District Circuit Court where the
decision was handed down last
Monday, the one dissenting
Judge declared that Curley
should never have been CON
victed in the first place. AS the
case stands now defense law
yers 60 to the Court of Appeals
If a rehearing is denied there
the case will then go to the SUI
preme Court, as a last resort.

One phase Of the Curley case
has never received the attention
it should. Judge Proctor of the
United States District Court Of
Appeals in Washington charged
the jury and sent the jury out
To deliberate, all in due course.
After celebrating for several
hours and it became time for
ordinary men to go to bed, the
jury came back to Judge Proc
tor fer instructions.
Under the law, no jury after
having been given the case, can
break up without arriving at a
verdict, or unless excused be-
cause of inability to agree. But
Judge Proctor permitted the
the jurors to go to their individ-
ual homes 70 rthe night instead
of ordering them locked up in
a hotel overnight.
One member Of the jury was
colored. Hotels in Washington
balk at accommodating colored
people but not one of them would
have dared to defy a court order
And as a matter of record, color
