ST. PETERS A.M.E. CHURCH

The audience seemed more wor-
shipful, the music by the choir
seemed more beautiful, the mini
ster appeared more radiant as he
led the worship; faces seemed
brighter; could it be that my at
titude Of thankfulness and hap
piness on being back in my own
church after an absence of three
Sundays was the reason for all
this?
The sermon by the pastor, the
Rev. NJ. L. Simmons was a mas
terpiece in preparation and de-
livery and dealt with the exper-
fence of Isaiah in Isaiah IL. In
the Lord The main emphasis of
the year the UZZiah died l saw
the message was the Importance
of finding God in our lives.
Isaiah found Him after the King
Uzziah who had INDUCED the
people in too many good thing,
died. There was a yearning and
longing in Isaiah's heart for
something and he went to the
temple to pray. There he found
God and gave himself to a life of
great service for mankind. Some
take home thoughts-There is a
need in our lives that only God
can meet. Many people as did
Uzziah, make their greatest con-
tribution to life when they die.
AS did Isaiah, we must find God
who will give direction and guild
anCe to all our talents.

BORDER CHURCH NOTES

Sunday was Communion Sun
day at Border and Rev. C. NJ. Sex
ton spoke appropriately on the
subject, Exchanging Love" The
scripture reading was from John
13:1-11. Rev. Sexton said in part
that the Passover stood for eman-
cipation or liberation; that it
meant unchanging love. He said
that the books of Hosea, Solomon,
John and the Corinthians were all
based on love and that Jesus ex-
emphfied love.
Joining the church don't make
things easier but there is COM
fort at the mercy seat for those
who would join the church.
The Holy Communion was ad-
ministered to the many present
by Rev. Sexton. All visitors pre-
sent were given a cordial well
come. Mrs. Mcintosh of Moss
Point, Miss, the mother-in-law of
Mrs. Ethel Mcintosh was among
the visitors. Next Sunday, Rev.

Political expediency, however,
is believed to have reigned, and
the South was favored. Most dele
gates in the end seemed TO feel
that in the coming election, the
Democrat party could not afford
to lose the electoral votes OF even
one state in the SOLID South" in
the coming election.
In creating a party platform,
Dawson constantly was the mid
dleman who talked both to south
erners and the liberals to help
them get together and keep the
party operating in unity. On the
date of presentation of the plat
form shortly before it was TO be
presented 10 the convention,
Dawson received a standing ova-
ton from members of the plat
form committee, because Of his
speech for unity. He said in part:
Last night the subcommittee
on civil rights met 20 hours for
perfecting the wording of this
plank. Men on both sides worked
together for the good Of the
party.
I'VE must respect the other
regard and appreciation of the
work of the members of this sub
committee who worked 20 hours"
His impassioned plea brought
accord. Later, Sen. Spessard L.
Holland Of Florida told reporters
that although he does not approve
Of civil rights, he agreed to the
plank because 1t contained mo
offensive words" and because of
what Dawson said. He comment
ed:
This plank sounds nice. but 1t
is not offensive. II does not in
clude such words as cloture, fill
buster and FEPC. 1 said I would
not file a minority report against
1t as 1t Is written, although /
would not vote for such action"
Powell & Westerner Hold Out
Rep. Powell and Nicholas Gran
ct, white delegate and attorney
from Portland. Ore. held out the
longest for more specific state
ment. Their efforts to gain
enough support to make a minor
ity report failed, however.
Despite his speech at the open
meeting, Dawson credits another
talk at a closed committe as the
decisive one. He said he told OPP
posing factions:
You must respect the other
man. You cannot change him by
abuse. You must change his
thinking"
Many delegates agreed that the
approved plank was a strong one
Miss Helen Schrang of Los An
geles and Lyle Cook Of Berkeley,
Calf They called It a fine state
ment" because It also included a
demand for a change in the rule
for cloture.
Under rule %, the senate must
have 81 votes to end filibusters
which through the years have
blocked all civil rights legislation
reaching this body.

the action. She said:
"SOld Down River"
I'VE were sold down the river
on civil rights. We must have
strong civil rights or else we are
not standing up for principle.
There should be no compromise on
this subject"
Her husband, l.. w. Lomax.

comment as she did. He agreed
that 1t was not strong as 1t might
have been. but Mrs. Lomax did
most of the talking.

said the party had a fine civil

cursed-his critics calling him
too conservative, and his support,
ers considering him a brilliant
dealer.
New Approach"
In explaining his actions, Rep
Dawson said in an interview that
he was advocating a new ap.
proach by Negroes to gain the
civil rights they desire. He COM
mented:
There is a new day in this
country. We in America must get
rid of sectionalism in thinking.
We must back the men who will
stand up for their word. We Ne
groes must learn TO handle men.
Every man wants to apear de-
cent TO you"
OF the civil rights plank itself,
Dawson said:
Il am very proud Of the thing
as a whole"
There were split reactions, with
most of 1t favoring It, among Ne
gro delegates and alternates as to
just how strong the civil rights
plank is.
Inference VS. Directness
Under the approved platform,
the Democratic party took a
stand by inference rather than by
direct statement. The plank calls
for no specific action by names
like FEPC, anti-lynching and
anti-poll tax laws and a change in
the rule for cloture.
Instead It does infer such
planks by asking the s3rd con-
gress ito improve congressional
procedures" 80 that a majority
can call for decisions without be-
ing blocked by a minority 'in
either house." and also by calling
for federal legislation for equal
opportunity in employment, Sc
curity Of person (meaning anti
lynching and "full and equaP par
ticipation in politics (meaning
anti-poll taxi.
Stronger Than COP Plank
This plank was not as strong as
the liberals" or Young Turks"
Of the party such as Rep. Adam
Clayton Powell OF New York, Sen.
Hubert Humphrey Of Minnesota,
and Sen. Herbert Lehman OF New
York wanted, but 1t was not near
ly as weak as desired by men Of
the South. It was agreed, how
ever. that the platform Is strong
er than the one approved in the
same hall two weeks ago by the
Republican party.
Dawson was rated by men on
both sides as the key man in
bringing unity to the party be-
fore the platform reached the
floor. These battles predicted the
coming floor battle in the conven-
ton in which southeners were
seated.
The battle over civil rights was
merely one phase Of the obvious
clash Of PHILOSOPHERS In the Demo-
cratic party. On one side was the
one for inclusion and compromise
with the South, and on the other,
exclusion Of any group that did
not agree to support the party
fully, regardless Of Its candidate.

BY William Henry Huff

And why he's always III at ease
Like those infested with disease,
He seems to grope and live in

Because he is a recketeer.

To Distribute Trout

Approximately 100000 big tackle
busters will be stocked in 50 streams
in Maryland in the near future Albert
Powell, hatchery superintendent for
the State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission, said the season had been an
excellent one and that Maryland trout
hatchcrics and rearing ponds were
fairly bursting at the seams with adult
brook, brown and rainbow trout.
The stocking program this year
calls for 25 percent of the fish to be
placed in the streams during the three
weeks prior to the opening day of the
season, Tuesday, April Is, and the
remaining fish to be stocked during
the months of April and May.
Ernest Vaughn, director of the com
mission, said this system would assure
better catches for the Maryland trout
anglers, less loss from flood and other
causes beyond control and more sus-
tanned fishery during the peak of the
fishing season.
