:: WORTH REPEATING :
VIRGINIA Parents Take Stand

ton. The Virginia Congress
of Parents and Teachers has
given notice of its decision to
put before the state legisla-
ture a resolution in soupport
of continued public education
despite racial indignation.
This is a courteous way of
saying IN t parents and
teachers place the education
of their children within the
framework of the public
school system above politics
and senseless, outmoded COM
immunity mores. This is a far
reaching development which
may well serve as a pattern
for other states to follow.
Abolition of public schools to
prevent association with a
handful of Negro pupils, is
too costly and foolish to be of
long duration. The people in
most Southern states are too
poor to support private
schools; even if it is a make
shift set~up, they can't afford
it.
While they may be bam-
boozled now into endangering
their own long-range interest
against their better judg-
ment; they will soon awaken
to the folly of q step that
cannot be sustained either by
exnediapcv..alolg,,---..uls ladpltora4ed

come when voters in Dixie will

why did l ever bother to
compete anyway"
Cod often helps these win
who give Him the glory. A
famous pianist who consistently
won musical competitions said
he gave God the credit for
his accomplishments. Recently,
while preparing for a very inn
portant contest, l asked my
folks to pray for me, not just
to win because winning is not
always the best thing, but that
/ might win if it were Gods
wish that l win.
Il won the contest with
ease" he said. "As a result l
have become a sensation. Now
| am praying to God that He
will help me become a success"
Are you a good loser? Are
you a thankful and humble
winner
1t is necessary that we learn
how to win or lose, for God
has a plan for each Of US. The
most important thing is that we
are willing to accept his plan
no matter what that is. And if
we do that, no one will ever
really lose when pleasing God.
Arkansas State press., 1959-10-23

Resistance to indignation
from the outset was organized
and sustained by politicians
who seized the opportunity to
extend their dominion and
bolster their not-too-secure po-
sltion. That was the case with
Faubus of Arkansas who, of
all probability, would not have
been reelected to the COVER
norship of his state but for
the constitutional conflict he
created between Arkansas and
Federal government.
Vlrginia's Governor Almond
was a weak man whose fears
of the states political ma
chine with whom he was al
ready in disfavor, led him to
initiate what he chose to call
massive resistance" When ne
saw no legal way out of in
tegration.
But race mixing at the school
level is now going ON in both
states. Multiple rebuffs by
courts and a teachers, revolt
helped to subdue the racial
extremists n Little Rock
where two public high schools
are now operating under a
token indignation plan.
With the exception of Prince
Edward County which has
closed it's 81 public schools in
defiance Of indignation, lYlr=-.
ginia's schools have techni-
cally complied with the Su-
preme Court school order.
This state, however, is not

I wanted to win that contest
more than anything else in the
world, the young man said
ruefully. Il asked God to help
me win. Instead of winning l
lost. Cod let me down.
1t is easy to understand how
disappointed this young man
must have been. Everybody
wants to be winner. But he
should not have been so quick
to turn on Cod because of his
own failure to win.
Perhaps the Lord had a rea-
son for not wanting him to win.
Maybe He used the contest as
testing ground" to sound out
the young man, to help him
prove himself worthy Of be-
coming a real champion.

essary. Material wealth meant
much less to them than did
spiritual values.
Therefore we read of Thorn
as Edison, who perfected the
invention that seemed 50 long
an impossibillty; of Christie
pher Columbus, who crossed
the seas others dared not at
tempt to sail of Sister Kenny,
who persisted in trying to find
a remedy for human ills IN a
field where none had pre-
viously found. BY forgetting
self, these persons, and count
less others like them, availed
themselves of a higher power
and wisdom that made them
letter than their dreams,
nohler than their ASPIRATIONS,
greater than their desires.
Never once losing faith in the
inVincible part of themselves,
they went on to victory, in
evitably lifting the lot of man
kii'd to better and higher
grounds.
Where do all the worlds
valiant souls get their enduring
courage? First of all, they are
those who look toward those
that are eternal. They place
their hope and trust in God,
who helps them to discipline
themselves. You recall that
the Bible tells us that praise
is given not to the strong
man that taketh a city, but to
the stronger man who ''ruleth
his own spirit" The record of
such lives is especially use
ful because the example of
such people warns our hearts,
inspires US with hope, gives
us new STRENGTH and courage,
and their influence will never
wholly pass away, for the
good life we'll lived is "never
out of season."

most valuable creation of
God, the huma soul,
is never left defense
less. The peace of God will

Enduring Qualities
by Theresa Jones

Without research, not one
in a multitude could identi-
fly Ustad lisa, yet he was the
persons who built the famed
Tai Mutual, one of the arehl-
tectural wonders of the world,
an undying memorial to hui
man love. This magnificent
piece of work was erected in
India upon the order of the
emperor, Shah Jahan for his
lovely queen. Few of us
know how long Ustad lisa liv-
ed, or much else about him.
Perhaps it is enough to know
that under his skilled and
masterful direction the lovely
temple was erected.
PERHAPS the most important
fact about our lives is not how
long we remain upon the
earth, h 0 W much wealth
we amass, or even who were
are, but what we give of our
selves that is of enduring
worth. Losing ourselves IN q
great cause, lifting the levels
of life, are the important fac
tors. Too many of us measure
success only by the visible,
tangible and material assets
of life. These things are tran

We need eyes that can see
the invisible heights of love,
faith, courage, purity, devo-
ton and fellowship with God.
These are the qualities that
endure, that satisfy the souls
of the people, that are essen
tial to the advancement of the
Kingdom of God. AS we look
back through history we note
that all hfe's great accom-
plishments have been brought
about by men and women who
forgot themselves in working
for the betterment of others.
