good, sound student OF n e
Bible. All they learn is a water
ed-down modernistic version of
the Bible. Even SO, notice not
a single one of them has any
nigras coming to his church. 1t
does look to me like they ought
to integrate their churches if
they want to go around telling us
to put the nigras in our schools.
'Then, too, those uptown
preachers get their money from
the swanky people up on tn e
Heights, and those folks up there
are lukewarm about indignation
at best. Course they got no cause
to worry. They've got their brand
new high school, just opened last
fall, Hall High School it is, and
not nigra in sight 'cept for
sweeping the floors. It's us COM
mon people who're told to send
our kids to school with colored
kids at Central High. Those
swanky folks on the Heights are
the most prejudiced of all, be-
cause they're prejudiced against
white folks like us as we'll as
against the colored folks.
Watch Those Modernists!
well, I'll just tell you, we Dis
sident Baptists don't have any
truck with those Modernist
preachers. Those fellows don't be-
lieve in the virgin birth, the ris-
ing of Christ, or the inspiration
of the Scriptures, which are
without errors, contradictions or
mistakes. Nothing in common
with 'em! I wouldn't touch their
interracial ministerial association
with a ten-foot pole. That out
fit is made up of lot of strange
birds, all kinds of birds. Some of
my brethren didn't see the light
until they integrated with the nj
gras two years ago; then they
got out. Myself, I knew what
they were like from the begin
ming SO I never joined 'em.
What those Modernists do,
they take little fragments of the
Bible and quote parts of these
fragments to make it look like
God believes in integration. Take
their favorite one. And hath
made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on all the face
of the earth'-that's Acts 1926,
my friends, and that's all they
read-but it's not all the verse.
The rest of it, the part they don't
read, says, and hath determined
the times before appointed, and
the bounds of their habitation.'
Now I ask you, my friends, can
man claim to be true to til e
Bible whe he quotes just the part
of verse that suits his own pur-
poses?
"Now the truth Of the matter
is that there was no reason for
God making separate races if he
didn't intend them to stay sep
arate. He made us different and
he didn't have to. Once, as the
Scriptures tell us in Genesis Ill.

The Rev. Hard Gore Resistance
was about to address his Dissi-
dent Baptist congregation from
the pulpit of his simple cinder-
block church. His listeners were
sincere people Of modest means.
Many of them migrated to Little
Rock from rural Arkansas in re-
cent years, bringing their fun
damentalist faith with them. Vir-
tually none had attended college.
They worked at semi-skilled and
skilled blue collar or minor
White-collar posts clerks, mail
carriers, carpenters, electricians,
railroad men, service station op-
orators.
Resistance himself had gone
directly from a rural high school
to the local Dissident Baptist
seminary not recognized by the
Southern Baptist Convention.
Granted a Doctor of Biblical Lit
erature degree from this unac-
credited school, he now instructs
in homiletics at the seminary in
addition to his pastoral duties.
1t was the fateful fall of 1857
And he gave his congregation the
same Interpretation of the city's
crisis that he had given the press
and the local Citizens Council at
other times:
"My friends, right now / could

southern Arkansas and the nigras
there would greet me as friend.

couldn't find a handful of nigras
that want to go where they are
MT wanted. It's just a few of
them that belong to this National
Association for the Agitation of
Colored People that's causing all
the trouble.
"There are a lot of preachers
in these uptown churches, my
friends, who've been telling us
that God is an integrationist. The
trouble with those fellows is that
they just aren't good Bible stu
dents. Matter of fact, I've never

POTOMAC

WHAT TO EXPECT OF THE
Both CONGRESS - The holiday
mail today brought a special re-
port from Maurice Rosenblatt,
director of the National Com
mittee for an Effective Congress,
on what to look for after Con-
gress reconvenes. Rosenblatt is
one of the sharpest observers of
the Washington scene; his views
are always worth studying.
What follows are some pertin-
ent quotes from the NCEC re-
port:
american politics." writ e S
Rosenblass, "are increasingly
dominated by the paradox that
we can spend $50 billions a year
and still not buy what we want.
This irritates the people and puz-
zles the politicians, but neither
seem to have realized yet that
what we want isn't for sale.
"It is something which must be
created - the dynamic enthusi-
asm of a society going some
where. This is a matter Of values,
not only personal but national.
1t is matter of leadership. And
it cannot be measured in per
capita production or in dollars"
Looking to the next session of
Congress, he continues:
eff the parties and their leaders
run true to form, chances are
that by 1860 the vacuum that the
American people voted to fill in
the 1853 election will still be
there. We will have had action,
and perhaps very good action, an
airport construction, housing, ur-
ban renewal, reclamation pro-
jects, etc. But we will still not
know where we are going in the
world it doesn't look as
though much will be done in
terms of history partly be-
cause no one is particularly
thinking about history and part
ly because Congress isn't the best
place to deal with it,"
THE ROLE OF LYNDON
| JOHNSON - The leader of the
NCEC apparently does not be-
lieve Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon Johnson has suddenly
acquired stature Johnson, the re-
port says, is the sort of man "who
will not venture an attractive
goal unless he clearly sees the
way, or at least the way back.
The report notes that in his
''program' for the 86th Congress
Johnson Significantly omitted"
civil rights and 'even failed to
mention education which would
have reminded people that schools
were closed in Arkansas and Vir-
GINA"
While Johnson spoke of the
''new heights" to which the coun-
try must rise, the NCEC director
described his program in these
terms:
OR educed to its essentials,
Johnson's program is warmed
over New Deal and Fair Deal
with missiles flying overhead"
So far as Rosenblatt is concern
ed Johnson and Vice President
Nixon are both political stylists. !"
Johnson is described as the "short
range tactician" and Nixon as the
slong range operator"

continues, for Nixon to resume
the role in which he cast himself
before the 1858 election. His re-

HAPPY NEW YEAR

In this column on December IL, 1858, reported that
HARPERS Magazine was indeed likely to pass from the
American scene Also reported that in December of 1856
the EdtornChef John Fischer, mentioned the name OF
The Petal Paper his Editors Easy Chair and as result
of having done so John received three four letters con-
ceiling subscriptions Basng my reasoning on the tact that
if four subscriptions were cancelled because OF twenty-five
words written by John Fisher HARPERS would lose quite
number of subscribers because Of something like twenty
five hundred words written by me for their current issue,
January 1852 pointed this logic out TO John, too But he
heard me not And not only did John Fischer take great risk
with my COPY he seemed to be asking for trouble In ad-
dton to the copy wrote for him. he used an article by Sen
ator Hubert H. Humphrey raving liberal from Minnesota
That he Senator'S article had to do with "Plan to Save
Trees Land and Boys is quite Unmporan TO those OF US
in this area ndeed We've got own plans, and not Just
to save trees, land and boys but to save the world
John Fischer didn't stop there. Indeed not He used an
article by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt who we all know here
in Dxeand amt no Dixecrat And for what John did with
reference TO Mrs. FDR I'm thinking seriously about writing
q letter canceIing my subscription to HARPERS On the
front Of the magazine he used picture OF Mrs FDR
instead ofme.
Well, as pointed out in December, suggest you pur-
chase COPY of the current issue of HARPERS It's most
likely TO be collectors item before too long,
To be serious for moment, I've received number or
exceptionally nice letters from readers of HARPERS and
for them I'm deeply grateful especially for those with
cheeks in them.

In the current steel negotia-

that fewer men are making more

that man must stand on his
head on the Capitol steps to get
a really important story into the
newspapers. Such was the case
with recent testimony by Char

HOW is 1T DONE?-I am well
aware that many public officials
are now urging the union to "go
slow" and take it easy" on wage
demands because any substantial
increase now will send up the
cost of steel and contribute fur
