Mr.. Brown at first refused
TO turn over his personal IMAM
cial papers to the committee
and was ordered to do so in a
court order obtained by the
committee. He said his per-
sonal finances were not pertfn-
ent to the committees work.
At the court hearing, Mr..
Browns attorney Samuel Tuck

Mr.. Brown turned over some |
OF the records and was given |
until Wednesday to produce
the rest.
Another witness refused to
testify. He was David H. Scull
Of Annandale who claimed the

unconstitutional legislation.
Mr.. Thomson petitioned the
court to make Mr.. Scull testify
and a hearing was scheduled
for October 8.
The committee questioned
Mr.. Scull for a long period. but
he refused TO answer any ques-
tons. 4

MISS EULALIA MIDGETT
RESIGNS AFTER LONG SERV

Miss Eulalia Midget, who for
many years has served as secre-
tary and collector for the Mt. Oil
vet Church Benefit Association, an
organization which during the past
40 years has paid out many thous-
ands of dollars in time of bereave-
ment to its member families, has
had to give up the work, and for
tunately, the district nurse, Miss
Bessie Draper, has agreed to take
on the duties formerly discharged
by Miss Midget. Tasks like these
are 9ften thankless ones, and at
best are poorly paid, but they are
very important ones to so many
people in time of sore need, and
the comfort that comes from
prompt payment is inestimable
Miss Midget has done a fine job;
she has been extremely faithful
and undoubtedly the community is
grateful to her for her good work
Her rewards are few, but she has
the satisfaction of knowing she dis
charged faithfully and well, a
mighty important task for the ben
eft of her neighbors.

NEW YEAR BRINGS
MANY NEW BOOKS 1
TO DARE LIBRARY

The new books promised for the
New Year are now being circulated
by the Dare County Library
Though far too many for com.
plete listing, the few mentioned
will serve as an introduction. A
request to the library for the res,
ervation of any of these will be
honored in the order of applica-
ton.
From the plethora of books on
the Civil War, the library has Sc
lected two outstanding ones. "The
Hallowed Ground" BY Bruce Cat
on presents the Union side and has
the same high merit as his Still
ness at Appomattox,y which is also
in the library. Rebel Boast" by
Manly Wade Wellman relates the
Civil War experiences of five
young men from Enfield, N. c.
Still in the historical vein is "Men
to Match My Mountains" by Ir-
wing Stone, whose Immortal
Wife" is so popular. It features
the personalities involved in the
settlement of four western states.
Three biographies are worthy OF
mention. Jesse Stuart in "Year of
Ny Rebirth" describes his nearly
fatal heart attack and his growing
response to the beauty of nature
and the simple joys of life during
his slow recovery. "The Man Who
Lived Twice" is the inspiring story
of Ernest Sheldon, who, despite al
most total disability, was never
failing source of love and under
standing for his many friends.
Marian Anderson, the great con-
tralto singer, tells her story in
"My Lord, What a Morning" and
Harry Emerson Fosdick, one of
Americas, greatest preachers, re-
lates his in "The Living of These
Days"
And last, Autumn Across
America" by Edwin Way Teale fol-
lows his memorable ''North with
the Spring" with the experiences
of a 10000 mile journey from Cape
Cod to California through the au-
tumn changes.
In addition to books, the library
has an unusually large collection
CT pictures, some of which may
be borrowed for a small rental
charge; others may be enjoyed in
the reference room; and still 9TH
ers may be checked out.

rently fighting are quite as dread
full as those against which the
AibolitioniStS fought and the ques-
ton arises, on what level will the
Negroes fight for their fuller
freedom?
To the credit of their leader
ship 1t must be said they wisely
pitched their fight on the Chris
tan level and on this level they
are quite as powerful as were the
Abolftionists. When the Negroes
refuse to pitch their battle ON the
level Of violence and strife and
hatreds, they guarantee their ul-
innate victory. And let no one
underestimate the cost of the
struggle even on the Christian
level. It would be much easier to
resort to violence and throw rail
for rail as far as our rails
would go. But there is little
greatness in throwing rail for rail
but there is true greatness in do
ing good for evil and in turning
the other cheek.
When therefore the Negro
leaders chose the Christian level
they choose the way of power
and the way of ultimate triumph.
There is power on the Christian
level! There is something power
full about turning the other cheek
and about going the second mile
and there IS something weaken
ing about throwing rail for rail.
Fortunately we have the glor-
ious example of the "other
cheek" philosophy in the trimph
of Christianity and in the free
dom Of India where Gandhi the
great Indian leader dared to
teach and practice the other
cheek philosophy and broke the
back of the British Empire even
as Christ and His followers had
conquered the Roman Empire.
Fighting it out on the Chris
tian level will not be easy and it
will not be popular, but it will
be tremendously effective and in
the end triumphant.
BY keeping our fight for inte-
grafton on the Christian level we
may lose battles but we will win
the war for full emancipation of
soul and body.

Dear Mr.. Reeves:
don't know exactly how to
say what I'd like to say, without
somehow sounding like a record
ing one has heard any number of
times. However, / do want to
thank you very sincerely for the
check received recently from
the Times.
AS I stated in my column of
January IL, I've tried not to think
about what will happen to the
column following my graduation
1t has been pleasure as well as
an experience 1 shall cherish in
my memory. These past three
and a half years that I have been
submitting articles to the Times
have created a 'keener aporecia-
ton for journalism as well as
workshop for the development of
a future career.
My thanks to you and the staff
of The Miami Times for your en-
couragement, and the opportuni-
ty to join in this fascinating bus
ineSs of journalism
Gratefully yours,

Between The Lines.
AT THE CHRISTIAN LEVEL

The rise and spread of Chris
tianity, against dreadful odds is
one of the marvels and myster-
ious facts of history.
"A handful of humble, unletter-
ed and unsophisticated Galilean
peasants led and inspired by
Jesus Of Nazareth, a street preach
er, defied the mighty Roman
Empire and got away with it
gloriouSly.
We are told that within a short
while after Paul walked up the
Appian Way, there were saints
to he found in Caesars household.
Without armies and navies and
engines of war, Christianity bids
fair to conquer this world.
No less remarkable was the rise
and spread of abolitionism as it
pertained to slavery In this coun-
try. The abolition movement
moved along at eager pace, until
John Brown got himself hanged
at Harpers Ferry and then it
swept the nation. Someone has
said that out Of John Browns
quivering body that hanged on
the gallows, his spirit leaped and
divided itself into a million parts,
and these multiplied and lodged
themselves into other millions
that would not rest until human
slavery was baniShed from h e
land.
In more recent times we have
had launched what has been apt
ly called the Liberation move
ment in many lands. This amounts
to the abolition of spiritual and
mental slavery which is just as
bad or worse than physical sla-
very. This liberation movement
is destined to have its course
even as Abolitionism had its
course, for both are facets of
Christianity and fruits of the
Christian faith.
1t is just as well that we con-
slider the secret of the strength
that inferred in Abolitionisrn and
inhereS in the liberation move
ment. 1t most certainly was not
by power or might that these
forces for good have Prevailed in
such marvellous way.
There are secret sources of
strength which the Abolitionists
and liberators draw upon. Just
as Jesus Christ said He had meat
to eat that the disciples knew
not of, so the abolitionist and the
liberator have a secret source of
strength to stay them in the hour
of his trials.
The early Christians had it and
triumphed gloriously and out
lasted the great and mighty Ro-
man Empire.
The foregoing meditation is in
spired by what is Transporting in
the deep South where Negroes
are struggling to be free in mind
and spirit even as they are free
in their bodies; for the Emanci-
patton Proclamation had most to
do with the freeing Of the body
and less to do with the freeing of
the spirit. which has gone on
apace. The odds against which
