REV. JOHN R. PERKINS
"WE ARE ONE FAMILY OF
GOD, so LET'S PROVE 1T BY
LOVING ONE ANOTHER"
We need someone to write true
facts
So someone can take it in
The Lord is getting full you see
With a world that full of sin.
The letter without some Christ in it
The world is looking too high
Millions are looking for a good
time
And they knew that they must
meet death by and by.
1t is good to read of sales today
When the prices have all gone
down
But is it best to read Gods holy
word
And read of that Heavenly Crown.
A Crown of life is ever lasting
No prices for Gods Crown at MI
If we will only obey the will of
God
And answer to His Holy Call.
Soon or later Gods Son will come
again
Who shall be able to stand
None but the righteous will be able
to stand
So all of you who are ready, let me
see your hand.
Gods world is full of letters
And its the Holy Word that we
need
The old mothers and fathers in the
House of God
Some hearts are about to bleed.
Most all the old members are gone
Only a few to lift up Jesus Christ
So we who are left on behind
Must mend our lives for a better
time.
A good member in the House of
God
Can hardly stay there because
these is no peace
Jesus Christ left His House to
Worship in
And He gave his life for the
greatest and the least.
We have not obeyed Gods H oly
Word today
We do not love one another as
Christ has said
He said "Love Ye One Another"
and we must love today
This is Christ-like and no other
way.
The Lord Jesus gave His life US all
Who will believe on Him and not
in vain
We must wake up and obey His
Will
So we can enjoy Gods blessings
on Calvery Hill.

about teaching children by "Pre-

rule which included not only "Hon-

but included also honoring all
grown folks anywhere in the neigh
borhood which included any of
them living within radius of
eighteen square miles, which was
about all you walked in in them
days on a plum hunting trip"
Over my fish and beer | got to
thinking about how folks these
days are worrying about their off
spring, including Aunt Haggar's
Chillun's offspring, as well as the
off-springs of those other folks
who didn't need no coloration in
their skin because they got started
after things started slowing down
in Africa. In them days what Pm
talking about children started off
talking with the words Eyes, sir"
Eyes ma'am," please" and "thank
you," which the Old Folks fixed
up bearing down a whole lot heav-
ier on the example" than on the
"precept," which went like this.
Let kid run up to the old folks,
ask for and grab a piece of bread
without doing it they'd rap him
on the knickle and say, "Put that
bread down, and say please" Let
'em say please" and start run
ming off, they'd call 'em back,
smack 'em upside the head and say,
Now say thank you." Let a kid
say NAV" and "Yea" to his
mother or father, or any other
older person, and it would be all
over the neighborhood that the
child was going crazy especially
amongst us kids), that is, after he
had survived what the Old Folks
put on the back side in them days
with anything from rattan to
wet rope. l remember my Mama
making me walk by an Old Lady's
house and speak to her and tip my
cap every evening after school for
80 days, who lived a mile away,
because she (the Old Lady, had
told Mama l walked by her house
with my head up-in-the-air, with
her sitting on the gallery and
didn't speak to her. The days Pm
talking about are the days when
folks raised George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee,
Richard Allen, George Washington
Carver, and Booker T. Washing
ton. What's wrong with the chill
dren today is that they're getting
what My Grandma and "Mrs. En-
ma" and them, would call the
wrong kind of "precept" and no
example" at all.

newly elected supervisors would
name new members to the
school board, said it was I'M
fortunate to saddle" the in
coming school board with any
plan.
The plan has not been an
nounced of1icially but its gen.
eral features were disclosed In
The Star last Saturday. It calls
for gradual desegregation, be-
ginning in the first and run
ming up to the 18th grade. The
only official statement from
the board is that q plan has
been agreed on.
First graders would be as
signed to schools on a geo.
graphic basis and academic
achievement and psychological
tests also would be used in
judging Negro applications to
white schools. The county is
faced with applications from
rs Negro students seeking to
attend eight white county
schools this fall.
School officials have said
they could not put the plan into
effect now because State law
prohibits local school boards
from making student assign
ments.
Stuart De Bell, Democratic
chairman Of the Board of Su-
pervisors. said he was bitterly
opposed" to the desegregation
plan. II am not going to be
able to go along with 1t at all,
Mr.. De Bell added.
Mr.. De Bell. Centerville dis
trict supervisor, said the county
should "just go into the courts
and fight 1T out -"
He said he was attempting to
set up an open meeting between
the school board and the SUI
pervisors for 8 pm. Wednesday
Asserting that he thought the
school board had made "a grave
mistake" Mr.. De Bell said he
did not think the board had any
authority to enact q plan.
Changes FoFeseen
Supervisor Thomas s. Gray.
also a Democrat, and repre-
sentative Of Falls Church dis
trict, said he did not think the
school board plan means any,
thing" He called the school
board a lame duck body" and
said there would be "at least
one or two changes" after the
fall election. School board
members are appointed by the
supervisors. BY custom, one
school board member is ap-
pointed from each magisterial
district.
Supervisor Anne wilkins,
Democrat Of Mason district,
said the plan sounds very good
to me-"
Mrs. wilkins said it was per-
fectly obvious" that there
would be court action over de-
segregation and that the school
board would need a plan when
it went into court.
Another Democratic super
visor, James Keith of Provi-
dence district, was out of town
today and unavailable for COM
ment.
Attorneys for the 26 Negroes
seeking admission to white
schools in the county have said
they plan to file suit to force
desegregation.
