Who's Who IL DR.. Kwame Nl1ru-
NAH, of Accra, the Gold Coast,
British West Africa. Pronounced:
'Qua-men-crew-mah, of 'Ack-rah.'
Occupation: prime minister Of that
rich British colony, source Of more
than a third Of the worlds choeo-
late. Distinction: first African ma
tive ever to reach such power;
Communist card number: 57565;
went into office direct from Jail;
ten years a student in the United
States; bachelor Of sacred theol-
ogy, master Of arts and philoso-
ply. master Of science and educa-
ton; can turn himself into a black
cat--so they say.
IAN this makes a nice little
story. Behind 1t there are, Of
course, deep, important perspec-
tives. What's happened here at
Accra is what has happened,
might have happened, may happen
in a hundred places from China TO
Morocco. 1t is part Of the great
Encouragement now going on be-
tween the white man CWestern

so very long ago the poet Kipling
called those people the lesser
breeds Now - well - but you
can see those perspectives for
yourself I shall stick to the ad-
ventures Of Kwame Nkrumah.

banner showing his face. Then he
came, in an open car. He was
standing up, his hand held out in
a gesture half priestly blessing,
half Hitler salute. Everybody was
like crazy. II would have
been a good picture, only-you
know how it goes. Just as I snap
ped the shutter, a lady bumped
me with her rumba. So the picture
was shaken. But my point is

the American national costume.

He IL anti-white-probably the |
worlds biggest anti-white oper-

calm about 1t. I asked him wheth- |
Or he had ever had trouble, on
race lines. in the United States.
Well, he said, once in a bus station
IN Baltimore, he asked where he
could get a drink Of water. The
pointed to a spittoon.
But he told this without getting |
The least hot under the collar. His |
tone was more like: aren't peo-
pie stupid?" He quarrels with the
white man in much bigger terms.
He wants to throw the British |
put Of Africa and create q state
by black men for black
men. This is to be called The Land
of Ghana, after a West African
empire OF a thousand years ago.
Or. 1t may be called the Union

Webster said he hoped because Of
the judges fine ability and accom-
plishment that he would spend the
rest OF his life In the city court
where men Of the highest calibre
are needed.
Webster continued. however. he
did not expect Rivers to remain
because he expected him either TO

applauded by the lawyers present.

The Christian
Church in this :
MateriialistiC Age
BY REV. L. b. NELSON

Wnat is the Churcn! Inc
Church of Jesus Christ is the
whole body of Baptized believers
in Jesus Christ, in all times, in all
ages, both in Heaven and on earth.
In this naterialistic age, we find a
diminishing love and respect for
the Christian Church. Some folk
consider the church to be nom
essential side-line affair which has
no special place in the human life.
There are only a few people today
who consider their church worthy
of first consideration in their lives.
This age in which we live today,
is the most dangerous for the
church than any previous age of
our time. The world seems to be
leaning toward the trend of ma
terialiStic breakdown. Spiritual
things seem to have almost lost
their values. Among those spiritual
things of lost attraction in the
House of God.
Let me use our present church
at .5th and East jefferson, for an
example. This building was erected
in 1925, which makes it more than
twenty eight years old. 1t was
built at a time when the whole
Negro population of the City of
Phoenix was not as large as our
own membership. The house is
standing today just like it was
when the builders finished it %
years ago, with the exception of a
few cracks in the steps, and in
the walls. Does this indicate Spir-
itual growth and pride?
have been in Phoenix 10 years,
and can not find a single dwell
ing that has remained the same as
it was when 1 arrived 10 years
ago. Some, folks have taken their
little humble hutS and modernized
them into palatial homes. God has
blessed ~ some to move out of
rented houses and apartments into
rnOdernized homes of their own.
Some have come to the city in
the last. 10 years, with only suit
case: and $an empty pocket, driving
rattle trap cars-today, they are
driving the very latest in automo-
biles, living in three and four bed
room homes, with nice incomes,
Who did this for them? The an
swer is God. Why keep God in the
same little house which was built
for Him twenty eight years ago?
/ wonder, when will God outgrow
the little house where we go to
meet Him on, Sundays?
/ did a little checking through
the membership of my church a
few days ago, and here is what I
found = I counted 10 whom the
Lord has greatly blessed. These 10
have homes at an aggregate cost
of $145,00O, Zone Hundred, Forty
five Thousand dollars), which
made me mighty proud to know
that these. 10 persons have faith
enough: in themselves to assume
such responsibility.
When God blesses us, we should
be very careful to bless the cause
for which He died. And we should
always remember that; God
givetha and God has power to- take
away" When I view the material
progress of people, and then look
back and. see how, far we have left
the church, tremble at the
thoughts of what our spiritual
