Freedom To-And Not To-Associate

Ever since the Supreme Court decision voidng

To have put the force cs law behind denial of

Had the court ruled, conceivably that Negroes had

The law has, does not now and in our opinion
will require such procedure For thing neither

O4'i~LEoo HOME OOD 10
CALLING FOR WHERE is IT?
A Christian mother births the child
And Fathers head hard as a ram
Mother trying to train the child
And his Fathers soul is damned.
Unequal IS no more two but one
Love IS the only thing that makes
this kind of home
But a Lamb and a Billy Goat
Makes home an unhappy home.
When home becomes unhappy
1t is no more a oneless home
Some one has got to move out of it
They are living where they don't
belong.
When you marry a wife that's a
oneless home
Good-looking sometimes you find
it wrong
When you are in the house seems
like you are alone
Just married in a family where
you don't belong.
It's best to count up the cost
For a life time job and your wife
the boss
You act as though she is a smart
bell
When you lose your pay check it is
just the same as He'll.
We first must be born of the Spirit
of God
Washed in the blood of Jesus
Christ the Lamb
For all who will believe on him
Our souls shall not be damned.
All who would believe he said and
not in vain
And follow me for | am the way
| am the doorkeeper of my Fathers
| shed my blood for the pay.
Christ said to one also to the world
We must love We one another and
nothing less
The Father gave him to the world
to die
For the Saints of his Father to be
bless.
We have to obey the Fathers Will
each day
And keep his full command
God only has one family on earth
No letter ABC will stand.
If your Sunday School will be your
Shepherd
What can your Shepherd do for
Christ
Just lift up Jesus Christ every
where you go
And do away with your ABC life.
