face the situation existing today
and confess that as Christian
leaders we have not done what
we should in preparing our
people for this hour. For our
failures we feel a deep sense of
penitence."
But Mr.. Richards added that
while I'VE are deeply disturbed
we are not dismayed :. / can
assure you that the hearts OF
our people are burdened about
this matter, and that we shall
continue our efforts to find the
way to better things. One can
not compel love by law. Men
may be won in time to a volun-
tary acceptance Of attitudes and
policies which they will not ac-
cept under compulSion.
1T is by love and by persua-
sion that the victory will be won
in the end. We ask of you I'M

crave your patience even though
at times it may be sorely tried
Refers to Rejection
Referring to the Southern
church's rejection last year Of
union with the other two Pres
byterian Church bodies, DR..
Richards declared, ut is not to
be interpreted as a lack of con-
fidence in their churches, or as
q lack of desire for closer
Christian fellowship. 1t is due
to the conviction of a constitu-
tional majority of our Presby-
teries that the interests of Christ
can best be served by the con-
tinued existence of the Presby-
terrain Church. U. S., as an in
dependent body"

Mr.. Stillman added:

Southern Bloc
Protest Urged
By Zimmerman

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Jan. IL (Pl
Gov. George Bell Zimmerman
Ijr.. told the General Assembly
yesterday that South carolins
should consider joining with
sister" States in "a lawful anc
formal protest against the effort
to destroy our form of Govern
ment."
In his annual address to the
assembly, Gov. Zimmerman
charged the United States Su-
Ipreme Court decision against
race segregation in the public
schools "flagrantly violated
basic principles essential to pre-
serving "the rights Of the States
and the people"
However, he cautioned that
ANY action should be taken with
great care. We must always be
on guard against sweeping away
in an ill-advised move all we
have accomplished in so fal
maintaining separate schools fol-
the races"
After the governors speech
the General Assembly adopted q
resolution congratulating the
Governor and People of Virginia
on their overwhelming vote In
favor of segregation"
A special Virginia election on
Monday approved a proposed
State constitutional change to
permit use of public money fol
private education as a move
against any enforced race seq
|regation in public schools.
Gov. Zimmerman also was
critical of some Of President
Eisenhower's words in his state
of the Union message last week
Remarking that there Ii
growing evidence Of an effort tc
not only disrupt our public
schools but also to relegate to q
second class status religious
faith and racial heritage" he
said the President ''lent the
prestige of his Office to the eff
fort to pour all religious faith
and all racial heritage into q
melting pot of lost identity"
He quoted Mr.. Eisenhower as
saying I'VE must strive to have
every person judged and meas
ured by what he is. rather than
by his color. race or religion.
Then Gov. Zimmerman said:
Never before has a national
administration proclaimed as
unimportant a persons race and
religion"
How better can person be
judged and measured as to what
he is? A mans most priceless
possession is his racial heritage.
