Lawyers representing the school
districts joined in an attack upon
the three judge court which was
composed of United States cir
cunt court of appeals Judge Wal
ter G. Riddick, and United States
district court Judge Harry J.
Lemley and Thomas c. Trimble.
The question was whether or not
the issue of segregation in the
public schools provided for by
Arkansas school laws was Sub
stantiai' in the meaning of the
federal law which provides for
the empaneling Of three Judge
court to hear any contest which
involves the constitutionality Of a
statute.
Flowers Charged Action Delaying
At a hearing held before the
three Judge court on February IS.
Flowers countered with charges
that the action Of the school dis
tricts was for the purpose of de-
lay. when efforts to work out a
compromise on an equalization
failed, when a rider was attached
which would have left out the
matter of segregation.

When a man or woman walks
with Jesus Christ daily, his or
her life becomes ''' helpful,
pure and his or her thoughts and
acts become transformed with a
new and beautiful spirit. Certain
ly all Christian believers should
realize that round about us is a
great unseen world, teeming with
power which God is ready to
pour into our souls, if we make
provision to CHALLENGE it through
our lives. Remember, that is why
your pastor is constantly calling
upon his members to regularly
attend church, reflect a little bit,
for the person who processes one
kind of life and lives another is
held in contempt, not only by the
righteous, but also by evil men.
My members and friends, listen!
It takes courage to stand out
against the crowd and serve God
even when you are certain that
the crowd is wrong in not serv-
ing God. Let us not think that
christianity is nothing more than
a system of exalted ethical teach
ings. Let us prove oar love for
God, and less for our leisure,
slothfulness and excuses.
Regular services: Sunday, Oc-
tober 10, third Sunday, Stewards
Day. Let us do our duty to our
pastor. Remember, If you are be-
hind in his salary, catch up.
