Origin of the congregation

sion. The work was sponsored

service and 48 students in the
Sunday School. william e. Byrd
was elected superintendent OF
the school,.
The group, known as the
Baileys Crossroads Baptist Mis-
sion, was co-sponsored by the
First Baptist Church of Claren-
don from January !, 1852. When
the mission became an inde-
pendent church on August 3
last year, DR.. M. Jackson White,
pastof of First Church. served

Knowing The Cost Is Not The Answer
BY lauren White

1t isn't wise to contract to purchase an
item without knowing what it will cost Know
ing the price of the item isn't enough The
price of merchandise gives some indication Of
its value on the market. The cost to you is
what you will have to give up in order to
get an item. Often, individuals have the price
of an item but actually can't afford what it
will cost them. Take the case of an aCquain-
tance of mine who recently bought a new Cad
lilac.
Il paid $4,000 down and am paying S127
a month for "a months" he informed me. II
am a welder and have been making SIPS a
week for years and l feel have the price"
he concluded
The welder had the price of the car but
1 doubted seriously that he could afford the
cost After I talked to him a few minutes.
knew he couldn't. He is in his late thirties.
married and has three children. His resources
are pitifully small. He does not have adequate
life insurance nor does he own any real prop
erty. He stupidity thinks that government
bonds are for the rich. He has made no prep
aration for a college education for his children
1t is very unwise to contract to purchase
one of the most expensive cars manufactured
when his material resources are so small. Al
though he has the price, he can't afford the
cost BY paying SO much of his income for
the pleasure of an expensive car, the weder
has to give up too much. The car is costing
him plenty il costs him peace of mind and
a feeling of security that could be his if he
were not buying such an expensive car When
a person puts such large amount of his
limited resources in an expensive car, he can't
have security. The slightest little mishap can

or a few sick days for him or any of his fam

Welder the education of his children. II is be-
coming increasingly expensive for youth to
get higher education The rising prices have
effected education, the same as it has every
thing else. OF course, there are some individ-
uals who have the determination and stamina
to go on whether they get help or not. How
ever, most individuals need constant help and
encouragement to bring out the best that is in
them. The welder prefers to ride around in =
car he cannot afford than prepare his children
for highly competitive world
The persistent buying of expensive motor
cars by colored Americans who cannot afford
them is costing us all first class citizenship.
We will always be reegated to second class
citizenship if the masses are not willing to
make sacrifices.
If the money spent unnecessarily by col
ored Americans on motor cars were put into
productive enterprises, we would be much bet
ter off If a very small portion of the money
spent unnecessarily by colored Americans were
contributed to various organizations working
for the welfare and upift of the Negro. we
would be much better off

selves as they should when large numbers of
them squander their resources When one con-
siders only the price of a thing without con-
siderinE its actual cost, he is likely to squand

A Salute 10 A Modern Hercules
BY Olive A. Adams

This is salute TO a modern Hercules
who has been given a number of almost i'm
possible jobs to do. AS it looks from here, he.
like the original hero, will come through with
flying colors.
One of the myths l liked best as a child
was the story of the Greek and his bout with
the Augean stables. Here was an ingenious
fellow, but this time it looked as though he
was done for. But then, Hercules diverted the
courses of the rivers Alpheus and Peneus and
the fresh waters gushed through the stables
and cleaned them thoroughly.
OF course, all this was long ago Hercu-
les was given a job or two to do and left
alone to do them And he accomplished his
tasks without somebody standing over him to
wish him i'll luck
Things are different now not quite so
simple. For instance, there is quite mess to
be cleaned up in Washington, as everybody
knows, and the majority of people sent a Her
cules down there to clean it up. 1t would be
rather nice if Ike could divert the course of
the Patomac and wash out oil the deadheads.
But most of them have anchored themselves
securely to the wreckage and they are harder
to get rid of than Rovers f1eas They have
barricaded themselves in with laws and red
tape.
Of course the remarkable thing about
this is, that most of them predicted that the
most horrible things would happen to the
whole country if the present skipper were to
take over, AS a matter of fact, they denounced
his whole party. One would have thought that
once the skipper and his crew took over, the
Democrats would have been delighted to take
the first plane, train, car or bus out of town.
But, they have desperately hung on and in
hanging on, have tried to solicit the help Of

1858. The birthday dinner and get-together
meeting was held in the fashionable Washing
ton Pike Methodist church
People who cannot see tangible evidences
of the ever spreading New South" such as
Knoxville, Inc. and elsewhere other centers pro-
vide are to say the least blind and deaf to
the great unfolding of Christianity and de-
mocracy in action all around us. The late
Booker T. Washington once said:
Judge us not so much by the height
we've attained as by the depths from
which we have climbed"
This may, also, be said of the New South
integrated effort of Knoxville citizens are
demonstrating and as is being demonstrated
in practically every city and center in the
Deep South. Real tangible community, city
and state progress can be made only when all
citizens, without regard to race, creed or col
or work comparatively.

tons is truly American 1t should inspire 9TH

in the larger cities. These so-called spirit

does not heal abounds. Magic potions which

1ennessee's Experiment In
Race Relations

Tangible evidence of the steady growth
and advancement of the New South" is furn-
ished by the outstanding work that is being
accomplished in the realm of race relations
in Knoxville, Tennessee where four years ago,
a group of representative white, Jewish and
Negro citizens decided to take forward step in
practical, interracial teamwork in that COM
munity.
As starter, a Fellowship House chap
ter, patterned after the Philadelphia organiza-
ton, was established. This furnished proof of
the sincerity of the sponsors and at the same
time, provided a meeting place where adults
meet for counsel planning and to get acquaint-
ed. Now, Fellowship House of Knoxville, Inc,
offers an opportunity for boys and girls of
all races, creeds and color, ages II, to come
together in wooded surroundings under Gre
ative supervisors every summer
Fellowship House Day Camp will be held
on Chestnut Ridge Northeast Knoxville June
u to July 4, 1853 under the direction of ex-
perienced, trained counsellors. And what is
more, the 200 members of Knoxville Fellow
ship House, only one of its kind in the Deep
South, celebrated its fifth anniversary May IS,

Phoney SpirituaIism-

1t is refreshing to note the stand which
the delegates to church convention meeting
here recently took on a certain growing prae-
tiee in many areas.
Leaders at the New Pleasant Grove Spirit
ual association adopted a resolution to CO.
operate with law enforc 1ent officers to put
stop to fraudsm, "such practicng spirit
ual advising with license and receiving money,
without authority, and healing practices"
They warned of "the reflection being cast
upon the spiritual field by "hypnotism phe-
nomena wtchcraft and sorcerism.'
In short, at long last, a group of present
day Negro religious leaders have spoken out
against some of the things which are rapidly
bringing Negro religious practice under serious
indictment.

among US. There are too many Father" this

The High Courts Non.Decision

The decision of the United States SUI
preme Court Monday in putting off the long
anticipated decision of the five school cases
before it, should by no means dampen the
spirit of the Negro whose ambition il is to see
segregation routed from our educational set up.
II is our sincere belief that the Courts
action in postponing its decision is encourag-
ing and hopeful to the Negro, We feel that the
Court in so doing, was merely giving the
stubborn south an opportunity to lay its plans
toward indignation, so that when the real de-
cision comes II will not be too shocking
