On Loving Our Enemies

1t is easy these days for persons and groups to
conclude that they have many enemies because there
any number of persons whose ideas and interests
fct seriously with the goals and purposes of other nd
vdualS and groups Historians of the future may
we'll characterize the twentieth century the time of
gross conflict of interests and values period when
engaged in friendly, ordinary communication and
commerce with each other, and yet had the feeling
that in ways they enemies Today members
of minority groups hardly escape the experience of
thinking and feeling that in reference to the treatment
accorded them by members of the majority they
living among persons many of whom their enemies.
No doubt of the JOrity feel that the minority
against them In circumstances like these, Jesus
commandment: Love your enemies, seems strange and
almost contradictory to ordinary human nature. How
imperative that is too hard for human and obligatory
upon man.
To appreciate the beauty and the unacceptable OBJ
legation of his requirement that must love
miles, it is important that really get understand
ing of what he meant by love- He did not what is
ordinarily understood by the word love- Today people
generally associate love with tender feelings of pleasant
toward 1t is their opinion that of
genuine delight is experienced by the lover when in the
of the loved at least there is feeling
of aversion However such is not the kind OF love that
Jesus commanded to have toward enemies.
Loving enemies in the Christian means to
appreciate and respect the personality of every individual
who might be against 1t means that obligated
to accord to the basic moral and spiritual organization
of every person the dignity which he deserves and to
seek to help him achieve the highest possible good of
which he is capable Even though the person may not
be what he ought to be, loving him Jesus meant it
to respect him for what he might become.
In terms of practical human relations, we love
enemies when seek to make friends out of them and
where is not possible to transform enemies into friends
work for mutual understanding and we can pray
for them.-The Central Christian Advocate

B. B. King
Wins Poll

NEW YORK.-In a poll of 500
record dealers throughout the ma
ton, blues singer and bandleader
B. B. King was chosen as the King
of the Blues.
The 3O-year-old former Missis-
sippi plantation worker was the
winner of the survey conducted by
Bobby Robinson, president OF the
Harlem Record Deelers Associa-
ton. King will be awarded a scroll
by the association upon his return
to New York soon.
Raised in an atmosphere OF blues
as it was sung on the plantations
and riverfront cafes, King first
started plunking his fathers bat
tered guitar when he was six years
old. Drifting up to Memphis when
he was 10 years old he organized
a small combo that quickly gained
attention.
He built up q tremendous fol-
lowing of radio listeners when he
became a disc jockey on station
VIDA. Then in 1854 he struck
out on his own as a nationwide
attraction, leading his band.
The dealers who participated in
the poll said that Kings MGM
records outsold his nearest COM
petitor by two to one. Most OF
the customers, they added, said
the reason for purchasing his rec
ords was due to the fact that he
could sing the blues with the
proper feeling and Interpretation.
Robinson, whose group is estab-
fishing a Jazz and Blues Hall OF
Fame in Harlem, said that King
would occupy a place of honor in
it. A noted New York artist is
working on c mural Of the Blues
King.

For decent colored people to live

Next thing we see juck going up

If our people are what we claim to

No juck houses we would let stay
They are places to ruin our girls

In their early life and lead them
astray.
Why will we holler Holy Lamb
Glory to the Lamb of God
And raise more hell in a decent

And make our way so hard.
Good people we need to segregate
Against juck and night spots as

Unless we train our children up

Is this training up your children
No it is growing up young men
If they happen to miss the gallows
They will be sure to get the pen.
Low down your dressed to day
Put your boys in knee pants
Because virtue is hollering murder
And has a very poor chance.
You can't get in Gods Heaven
Hollering | have been redeem
Jesus knows you are not fit
Because you are to dam mean.
For your own iniquities today
The Bible says your soul shall be
damned
So if YOU haven't been born of the
spirit of God
You must be a goat not a lamb.

Educate Parents
To Rock IN

New York - Teen-age clinics

Platter urged in a letter to a De-

The grooming idol of the rock

to Sara Washington, music editor
of Teen-Life, after he had read a
brilliant defense she had made for
rock and roll music in an article
she wrote for the weekly Michigan
Chronicle newspaper. Juvenile de-
linquency existed long before the
new musical craze came on the
scene, she said.

she also pointed out that rock and
roll gave many teen-age singing
groups like "The Teen-Agers" ar
opportunity to enter show business.
Passing her article, McPhatter
encouraged her and her friends to
organize teen-age clinics where
parents could be invited to sip coke
and cookies while discussing the
