Alabama MethodistS Back Indignation

In sharp contrast to several
other church groups, the Central
Alabama Conference of the Meth

unanimously reaffirmed its sap
probation of the action OF the
Su creme Court in declaring seq
regation in public education un-
constitutional" and called upon
Christians ''to work for the full
augmentation of the decision
with courage, patience, persist
ence and prayer"
The vigorous declaration was
presented to the Conference by
DR.. Harry " Richardson, preSi-
dent of Cannon Theological Sem
mary, who drafted the statement.
Declaring that I'VE deplore re-
cent acts of violence intended 10
intimidase citizens and deprive
them of their rights of petition

upon governors, legislators, and
law enforcement officers Ito see
that such acts are stopped and that
the perpetrators are properly
punished. Our land must not be-
come haven for bigots and

The use OF economic pressures
to deprive citizens of their rights
was condemned as communist
tactics, which have no place in

Musing With Mack
BY HENRY {. (Mack) MCKINNEY

President Eisenhower has des-
ignated this week beginning
Saturday, Sept. II - the date
when in 1887 the federal conven-
ton frs. met in Philadelphia--as
Constitution Week. A great many
Of US could do with careful and
comprehensive study of this fun
dsmsntal charter of government
and liberties.
According to William H. String
er, of the Christian Science Mon
itor Washington Bureau, a three
msn Senate Judiciary Subcom-
mittee will launch an inquiry
Oct. 3, to survey all the consti-
tutional rights, article by article
and clause by clause. A larger
and more discerning public un-
derstanding of this nations basic
document should result from this
inquiry.
1t will be particularly interest
ing TO Negroes to watch the re-
suit of the survey and the find
ings of the committee, as it re-
lates to the 18th, 14th and 18th
amendments to the constitution
as they have been interpreted and
upheld. or not upheld through
the years.

Last Saturday the Miami Her
AIDS religion editor, Adon Taft,
gave a cross-section of the think
ing of the gentlemen of The
cloth" on the question of inte-
grafton and how il is being view
ed by different denominations,
Most of those who answered Mr..
Taft's inquiry were in favor of
indignation from a point of view
Of their religious belief. However,
il is significant to note none took
the responsibility of speaking up
for their congregations. AS Mr..
Taft points out of the % White
ministers who took part in the
survey, exactly half of them have
never mentioned the Indignation
problem in a sermon or taken a
stand on the matter. Almost all
of them disclosed that they ex-
pect some resistance by members
of their congregations, with a few
declaring that their congregations
would never permit migration.
Is there little wonder someone
once said that ''the most preiu-
diced hour in the United States
is eleven o'clock on Sunday
morning" when everyone is sour
rying to church TO join in sing
ing, 'In Christ there is no East
or West. In Him no South or
Nor.h. There's one great family
of love, Throughout the wide
world over" Surely there's some
thing wrong with peoples think
ing.

Now, "Alnt People Peculiar.
In Women's Day effort recently
Women of St. James Anne Crurch
raised upwards of $4,000. A short
time ago women at Mt. Olivet
Baptist Church reported a like
amount in a similar effort. These
funds go into the church for en-
largement of work in the Masters
vineyard.
This is good. 1t is very compli-
mentary on the part of the women
who work so asSidiously to make
a good showing come Women's
Day. Religion, and their work in
the church have become obSeSS-
ions with them. Born of a rich
and compelling force, which pours
from deep recesses within, this
thing has graSs-rootS now in all
the churches.
But Musing wonders why can't
this same spark be kindled along
civic lines? We have no quarrel
with church workers, nor with
church work-in fact we sub
scribe to it heartily. Yet we fail
to fathom why the marked indif-
ference to civic endeavor.
This is cited here because we
know several persons who fall in
to this category-who are home
owners, too-who do not, nor can
not seem to see the necessity of
registering as free-holders, 20 be-
come eligible to vote in the all
important school bond election
which comes up next month.
Overwhelming conversation re-
Gently we could not help but
think how tragic it is that our
people dismiss such important is
cit doesn't really matter to me
sues with such trite statements as,
what they do, or 1--WE don't bene-
fit from it anyway, or, "well have
to pay higher taxes anyhow.
We make the observation that
since the church wieldS such dy-
mamie influence over our peoples
thinking and actions surely such
leade ship along civic lines need be
pointed up much more frequently
from the church leadership. 1t
would be well il these Zealots of
Women's Day could direct some
energy jus. as assidiously in sell
ling the mass of our people on the
idea of the use of the franchise in
such degree that ii too might be-
come an obSession. We cannot
successfully rise to a higher spi-
ritual plane without raising our
standards in the material sphere.
Yes, people are peculiar Only
three weeks ago at the close of
an NAACP legal defense drive
Thurgood Marshall expressed dis
gust at the small response made
by Negroes in the area where
funds were sorely needed for de-
Tense of prosecuted, underprivi-
legged persons. AS il looks from
here the time has come when Ne
groes must become conscious of
the responsibility they owe to eff
forts which directly affect their
way OF life. One only gets from
life in proportion 10 what one
gives TO life.
Up in indianapolis last Sunday
the congregation Of the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church, led by Rev. r.
+. Andrews, pastor, raised a total
of almost 500 for the NAACP
Freedom Fund, taking time from
IT'S one-half million dollar build
ing drive. Il would be well If
some of our local church clubs,
in their Embarrassing efforts viii
take such action as a project The
NAACP has a long, hard fight
ahead and funds will be needed
for some years To come.
This preachment OF active par
ucipadon in civic and political
affairs should be carried forward
until the spark catches and be-
comes an oaosesSion the same as
religion Is today.

The Van Buren club, which finished
their season with 20 wins and tlve
