Lillian Smith, author Of
Strange Fruit" and KILLERS of
the Dream, is greatly concerned
with the seriousness Of the prob
lem Of evolving people fast
enough so that when race Sc
gregation is done away with,
white and blacks will be able to
live together without tearing at
each others Threats. This brings
us face to face with this bust
ness OF making finer people
while battling for abolition Of
race segregation and discrimina-
ton.
The new South is reaching out
for the truth which will set the
South free. Thisnew South is
rising from the pig sty' Of
Ignorance, superstition and big
otry. 1t will, of course, have to
struggle against reactionaries,
Dixiecrats and the rising xxx.
The drive within the colored
group to ready colored folk to
meet enlightened and forward
looking whites on basis of
equality is one OF the greatest
challenges to face colored people.

CHARLES H. HOUSTON
A TRIBUTE
By DR. Louis T Wright Chairman, NAACP Boarc

America lost a great citizen in
the passing of Charles H. Hou-
ston. His faith in his fellow man
was without limitation. Those
of US who knew him intimately
and worked with him for 50
many years were blessed With
his keen understanding and
warmth of personality. Over
and above his record as an advo-
cate and a legal technician, he
will be remembered as the in
spirational genius for all types
of legal action based upon the
recognition OF the principle Of
the equality of man-that all
men are equal before the law.
Charles H. Houston was res
ponsible for the long line of
decisions in the United States
Supreme Court. and other courts,
protecting the civil rights OF
colored Americans. He set up
the modern, planned. legal pro-

gram Of the NAAcP at a time
when he was the only lawyer on
the staff. From that time on
it was his guiding spirit which
helped bring about our en-
viable record Of favorable court
decisions in the field of civil
rights.
He gave freely Of his time and
advice to everyone sincerely in
terested in protecting and secur-
ing civil rights. without charge,
and without consideration of
his own health. He has been
rightfully recognized as the
guiding spirit behind all such
cases, whether named as the
lawyer or as the adviser of the
lawyer. 1t was typical of his
great spirit that although his
particular group suffers pro-
scription Of almost every kind,
his championship or equality
included all mankind.

After the congratulations and

paired to the Professional and
Business Mems Club at SAB
Mass. Ave, where more friends
joined the hundred or so who
witnessed the ceremony at the
house, till in all the guests
must have numbered five or
six hundred. White crepe
paper bells and other bridal de-
corations made the handsome
parlors take on a most festive
look. ON three floors the
guests gathered and were RECALLED
with quantities of punch, ices
and exquisite small cakes. Here
a huge many TERED bridal cake
was in evidence. 1t was a most
brilliant company many of the
ladies exquisitely dressed for
the occasion. Many pictures

where one service was held each
Sunday afternoon. With the
departure of the Rev. James

was sent out, several ministers
responded. from whom was
chosen The Rev. David Leroy
Ferguson who had pastored in
Louisville, Kentucky, and who
had had the experience of having
a church and parish hall built
for his congregation while in
that city. This wealth of exper-
fence was utilized here in Boston
at st. Cyprian'S. Rev. Ferguson
began his ministry at st. Cyp-
Rams in 1920. Four years later
ground was broken and new
church was erected and dedi-
Gated. And III 1927 three
years after that outstanding
achievement, ground was again
broken and the adjoining Parish
Hall was erected. Eight years
later on May 5, 1945-the new
church and Parish Hall became
free of debt and was consecrated
with appropriate services by the
Bishop Of the Diocese.
Sow thought and reap a
destiny. On May 4, 1850, in
Horticultural Hall, Boston, there
will be observed the Fortieth
Anniversary of the Parish of
st. Cyprian's Church. The fea-
ture will be a banquet and a pro-
gramme of classical selections.
The Anniversary will reach it's
climax at services the following
Sunday.

at 800 PM. At the station,
though questioned until after
midnight, she stoutly denied the
kidnapping, but she was held
while detectives went again for
another search of the hotel.
About to leave, they heard a
baby crying in a nearby room
where they found the tiny
Chaneta wrapped in blanket in
a folding carriage. Confronted
with the discovery, Mrs. Jordon
broke down and confessed.
The baby's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Holden, were sent for and
identified the child. They said
CEaneta had grown and seemed
to have been well cared for. They
said they felt sorry for Mrs. Jor-
dan, who as the accused abductor
is being held without bail.
After the tiny infant disap-
peared on the cold day in March,
hospital doctors feared the baby
without her incubator could not
live. The distressed 24-year-old
mother never gave up hope for
the baby's recovery. The cham
bermaid's care of the abducted
child included an improvised in
cubator supplied with an electric
blanket and hot water bottles to
maintain a temperature of 80 de-
grees. She had consulted a nurse
about feeding. There was an
electric stove for sterilizing the
baby's garments. The baby has
been restored to the hospital in

have been answered. That

destiny. 1t was In the year 1910
10 years after the turn of a
century that thought con-
ceived in the mind of an indiv-
idual inspired the get-together
Of little group in a home at
218 Northampton ST., Boston,
where the groundwork of
Mission in the framework of the
Episcopal Church was discussed
and established.
That thought had so inspired
the Imagination of that little
group that officials of the Epis-
copal Church in Massachusetts,
were informed and their interest
and cooperation in the work
were solicited. The original
group had increased so rapidly
that it was not long before the
Services had to be transferred
from the Northampton Street
home to a hall. The environ
ment Of that place soon became
inadequate for the spiritual
values and united effort of the
Mission, consequently, officials Of
the Diocese made provisions in
rooms of the Cathedral Church
Of st. Paul in downtown Boston
for the Services.
At that time, the Mission, with
its humble beginning had de-
veloped into the status of a
Congregation, with the Rev.
James M. Matthias, Vicar-in-
charge. He served from 1918 to
1919. From the Cathedral rooms
the congregation was trans
