ST. PETERS, AME

Sunday morning May IT, there
was a spirit of humility shown
when Rev. M. L. Simmons rose
and opened his message by quot
ing the 23rd Psalm. His theme
was Thy rod and they staff they
comfort me-" The speaker stated,
"Oftimes we allow the seeming
simplicity of the 23rd Psalm to
overshadow its depth and mean
ing. No man can reverently read
this chapter and remain the same;
God never let any of His sheep
suffer want. AS the shepherd is
interested in his sheep, so God is
interested in His own"
He further stated that God Is

This was truly a heart warming
message. Rev. Barge made COM
parison of our lives today and
those living at the time of our
Savior He emphasized how i'm
portant we could be IF we lift up
Jesus and how dreadful the choice
IF we yield to sin.

Returning to Europe he sold the
King of Belgium on the idea that
the Congo country had great pos
sibiities. King Leopold financed a
road from the coast to the city
that now hears his name, and es-
tablished commerce on the river
from that point into the interior.
That was less than so years ago.
The Congo river basin, which in
Cludes much of what is French
Equatorial Africa, is seven times
larger than the state of Texas.
The Congo river, from Leopold
vile to the sea, has a waterpower
potential that is estimated to be
nearly as great as the total of
all power production in the United
States at the present time.

Africa is a continent of con-
trasts. Within Africa there are
many Africas. There is the Africa
of the North, the Africa of the
South, the East Africa, the West
Africa and the Central Africa.
There is the European Africa, the
Asiatic Africa and the Native At
RIGA. There is the MosIem Africa,
the Christian Africa and the Pag-
an Africa. There is the Africa
of the great rivers, the Africa of
the great lakes, and the Africa of
the great mountains. There is the
enlightened Africa and the prim-
tive Africa, and there is the Az
RIGA that is just emerging from the
primitive and starting to travel
the long road to enlightenment.
It is the Africa that is emerging
from the primitive state that in
terests us most at this time. The
people of Africa are in a revolu-
tionary ferment. The revolutionary
pressures are social and economic
as we'll as political.
Most of the changes that can be
attributed to the revolution so far
have been of a political nature.
African colonies have achieved a
degree of independence to the ex-
tent that they call themselves self
governing. They probably have
many years, possibly a few CEN
turtles, of trial and error ahead of
them before they will achieve the
kind of self-government they now
visualize, but only by trial and
error will that ever be achieved.
My guess is that the social and
economic progress will be more
real in the foreseeable future.

in their problems, and to what
ever extent we are able to, we

shares with Minnesota the distinc-
ton of being an area from which

Stanley had proceeded down
stream some distance before he
became certain he was on a strange
river, but he decided not to turn
back. From the top of the hill
down to what now is Stanleyville
he had many portages to make
around rapids and falls. From that
point to what now is Leopoldville
he had a thousand miles of easy
going. From Leopoldville to the
ocean, a distance of less than 800
miles, there is a drop of 1000 feet

board to hold a public meeting.
Board member Frank Adams
promptly made a motion and the
board granted this request.
Mrs. Flack the present principal
of Grant also present at this
meeting without discussing with
any of the petitioners their rea-
sons for their action Immediately
announced she was against any
action asked for by this petition.
The school board very neatly
side stepped their responsibility
and turned the request over to
Superintendent Putnam. Instead
of a public hearing n progress
report was given by DIR. Arthur
Lewis.
He explained very thoroughly
the plans for bussing of the chill
dren and also the plans for using
six rooms of the Summer Hous-
ing.
DR.. Lewis did not answer salts

the real question as to what if
any help, the Elizabeth Hall

Although letters were sent to
the School Board, the Planning
Commission and the City Council
asking them to be present only
Anders Thompson of the school

enough to reply.
At a meeting at Emanuel Cohen

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear
mother and grandmother Mrs.
Bessie Wright, who passed away
four years ago, May 20. 1855.
The midnight stars are shining;
Upon your silent grave;
Beneath it sleeps one we love,
The one we could not save.
Although your soul is now at rest,
And free from grief and pain,
The world would seem like heaven
If we had you back again.
Sadly missed by Mr.. and Mrs.

should assist them. And we very
definitely have a selfish interest
in their progress. 1t would not
serve our best interests to have
the African continent, or any por-
ton of it, come under Communist
control, and that must be con-
sidered as a possibility. There is
every reason to believe that Africa
figures prominently in the eXpan-
sion plans of those who direct the
international program of the Com
munist party.
And in what way could we most
effectively check the advance of
Communism in Africa? My guess
is that the best way would be to
help the people of Africa is to
help them to help themselves, and
toward that end, what they need
most at the present time is teach
ers, doctors, engineers and admin
istrators.
In our country we have many
advocates of federal aid for eduCa-
ton and scholarships for deserving
students. Maybe some federal
scholarships could be justified if
the recipients of the grants would
agree to a number of years of
foreign service when they had re-
ceived their degrees.
believe professionally trained
young American men and women
could do a very effective job for
us in the backward areas of the
world, and ten years of service
abroad probably would make them
better American citizens when
they returned.
The Russians have hundreds of
young people in training now for
African service, and they are be-
ginning to make their appearance.
These disciples of Communism
come well prepared, learned in the
languages of the areas in which
they are to serve and capable of
carrying on a conversation in the
native tongue of the people they
hope to convert.
There appears to be little likeli-
hood of an African uprising on a
united scale to rid the continent
of all white people. There seems
to be general agreement that the
racial question is limited to pock-
cts of hatred. Africa is so vast
in area and its people are so div
ided by racial and religious barri-
ers of their own that the posi-
bility of a union among them is
very remote. Among the primitive
natives there are many hundreds
Of tribes and many of these are
too involved in their differences
with their neighbors to be con-
cerned about any other enemy.
And so I bring a very pleasant
journey to a close, I saw a little
of Africa, very little in terms of
all the vast continent has to offer.
But I saw enough to give me a
little better understanding of the
reports that I read and hear. Hav-
ing been there and seen a little.
makes it all more interesting. And
I saw enough to encourage the
hope that may visit Africa again.
I would like to see much more of
it.
