King Solomon B. G.
Becomes King Of
Benevolenee
BY Samuel S. Taylor

More than passing notice is due
the unusual public spiritedness
of King Solomon Baptist Church
of North Little Rock, and its
well-known pastor, Rev. J. L.
Criner, for the church's approp-
ration from its treasury of fifty
dollars to relieve The misfortunes
Of the sufferers flbin a recent
dre. This action Is all the more
striking because of its contrast to
the greedy grabbing of many who
call themselves ministers" and
the stingy pinching out of PEN
mics of many groups who call
themselves congregations" 1t
must be admitted that the public
contributions of local colored
churches to individuals or insti-
buttons has not been so large as
to startle the world. The Negro
church, like many other Negro
organizations, has at times SEEM
ed to suffer from a give the poor
Negro hand-out" complex. King
Solomon Baptist Church and the
Reverend j. l.. Criner open the
year OF. l947 with a magnificent
gesture which we hope is SYM
bolic of a new day in the public
record Of our local group.
