ALREADY the political existence
of Nelson Rockefeller has had a

blue-collar, though. some are in
minor clerical posts. OF all the
churches whose ministers pub
licly protested Governor Faubus'
interference with educational in
tegration, this one is the smallest
and the least affluent. 1t is, in
other words, the most vulnerable.
Members already were making
known their distrust of the min
ister's racial postures, and atten-
dance was off. The hoaXers knew
what they were up to.
The incident placed the min
lister in serious conflict. After
turning the Negroes away, he
explained extemporaneously to
his congregation that there was
really no reason why they should
come unless to cause embarrass-
ment or as the result of a trick.
Yet, he told his church, we must
remember that we are all chill
dren of God and because we are
children of God we are all broth
ers. He concluded his remarks
with the eXhortation: WED bet
ter be mighty careful how we
push Gods children around"
MY Spirit Is Not Satisfied"
On the one hand, his immedi-
ate superior later assured him
that he did the right thing. In
deed, everyone he has talked
with agrees it was the right thing
to do. Members of his congrega-
ton, who were known to disap-
prove of the long-range trend of
their national church in support
of racial Indignation, expressed
their approval - although some
continued to believe Mrs. Trou-
bled really did issue that invita-
ton to the Negroes.
On the other hand, later in the
fall, Troubled attended a nation
al conference of his church as an
official representative from his
area. He talked, dined and wor-
shipped with Negroes at the con-
ference. Everyone there, it ap-
peared to him, was in favor of
indignation of the churches and
vocally critical of segregation.
What these people think, repre-
senting his church as they do, is
important to him.
He is a Southerner as we'll as
a minister-a product of the
Southern culture, and of its rural
areas at that. He has an emotion
al commitment to segregation -
ITO tell the honest truth, I'd rath-
er things stay the way they are.
I'd rather have segregation" -
that he cannot Intellectually JUS
tify. AS a minister he believes,
as he told his congregation, that
God is no segregationist, and that
you have to twist the Bible to
find anything in it that supports
segregation. He is caught in the
middle between pressure from
his local congregation and the
important relation he has to his
national church body. Actions
that are prompted by his identi-
fication with his church at the
national level ALLEVIATE him from
his local congregation, thus re-
ducing his influence and inter-
fering with his pastoral work.
Yet this identification is strong
enough that silence and inaction

and exchanged pleasantries with
them.
The harried usher reported to
the minister that the Negroes
were in the vestibule and that
they expected to join the congre-
cation in the morning worship.
But Negroes had never before at
tended services here. And fur
thermore, the Negroes claimed to
have been invited. The pastors

an who said she was his wife -,

vious afternoon to ask him to

Centenary members would return
the. visit on later Sunday, the
caller had explained. What,
pleaded the usher, was he to do
with the visitors?
Mr. Troubled, the minister, adj
vised his usher to tell them that
there must be some mistake, that
no authorized person had made
such a phone call and that no
plan for an exchange of visits
had even been discussed by the
members of his church. He fur
Their advised him to tell the Ne
gro that his church had taken no
official stand on indignation and
that until such time as it does,
perhaps it would be better if
they went somewhere else to
worship. This message was re-
layed to the visitors. The lay
leader accompanied them to their
car. AS they prepared to leave,
a, car drove up. containing several
other Negroes who also were re-
spending to the invitation"
These Negroes departed without
getting out of their car.
The usher later reported to the
congregation that the visitors
were extremely polite and very
understanding. They realized, he
said, that a trick had been
played.
Thus it came to pass that one
of the Is Little Rock ministers
to issue a proclamation condemn
ing the Governor of Arkansas for
turning away Negro students
from Little Rocks Central High
School himself turned away, less
than three weeks later, five Ne
gro adults who came to worship
in his church. And this minister
has in his desk a small clipping
from an out-of-state newspaper
that upsets and confuses him. The
dispatch concludes description
of the incident with these words:
Perhaps these Negroes mistook
this church for the house of
God"
The people who perpetrated
this hoax had chosen their target
well. The church to which they
invited these Negroes is sur
rounded by small churches rep
resenting variety of fundamen-
talist sects, with which it is in
active competition for member
loyalties. The homes in its neigh
borhood are small and of frame
construction. The church build
ing itself is in need of a coat of
paint and of other improvements

politics. They are mixed up in a
Communist-inspired plot; now
mind you, I'm not saying they're
Communist themselves, just mix
ed up in Communist plot. They
talk about one world, one blood,
one church. This is evil, because
to say it's better to have one
race, one language, is to question
the will of God who arranged
things differently.
The Lord Smiles on Segregation
"And another thing, most folks
say there are three religions:
rotestant, Catholic, Jew. There
really are four, because We Bap-
lists are not Protestants. These
modern Protestants break bread
with Jews, who don't believe in
the virgin birth, and they pray
with Catholics who can't even
pray to Christ. Dissident Baptists
like us don't go for that sort of
thing.
"Now they've gotten together
with the Catholics and Jews to
try to promote indignation under
the veneer of a prayer service.
They're trying to make out all
the preachers in Little Rock are
with them on this. But like I
told you three years ago, the SUI
preme Court has made an illegal
decision, reasoning from at least
five books written by Commu-
nists and near-Communists, soci-
ologists and psychologists, and a
Socialist Swede named Myrdal,
instead of from the law. I, for
one, am having no part of this
prayer service. They'll do lot
of talking about the fatherhood
of God. Well, l tell you God is
not the Father of all men; some
men are the sons of the devil.
And they'll do a lot of talking
about equality" Well, just look
at the President himself. He made
some statements that there were
no second-class citizens in this
country. Now you know that's
foolish, him with all that mill
tary rank of his-general and
everything - don't tell me he
wouldn't pull his rank on a buck
private.
'Now, in closing, I want to
give you some advice. People
who walk down the street in Lit
tie Rock, or stop to look in a
store window, are liable to be
called mob these days and ar
rested. So be careful. There are
FBI agents all over the city, and
Army helicopters swoop down on
innocent bystanders. I'm against
violence as much as the next
man. No matter how provoked
you are, don't retaliate; turn the
other cheek. Right will win; the
South will not stand for integra-
ton. The white man is the best
friend the nigra ever had; we
are all creatures of the Lord.
Why, here in Little Rock the nj
gras have a fine new high school,
the finest money can buy, and
who gave it to them? The con-
clusion, my friends, is that the
Lord smiles on segregation"
Resistance's congregation felt
treasured, convinced, secure.
Many stopped to thank him for
making things so clear to them.
Their enthusiastic response, high
morale, and generous contribu-
tons indicated their support for
his position on race. His congre-
cation was with him; his ministe-
rial associates were with him; his
conscience was with him. God,
he was convinced, saw things his
way. He had a sense of mission.
He had no worries.
