PACE THREE

From its membership has come
a striking number of public SER
wants in high office, of whom the
members are justly proud. Some
of its laymen have been effective
leaders in church work at state
and national levels. They have
also pioneered in establishing
cooperative lay activity across
UNCONVENTIONAL lines. There is
also quiet pride in that Proud
Church fuses into a coordinated
unit a large membership that
ranges from the city's wealthiest
citizens to those for whom the
church extends support. Although
it is among the elite of churches
in the community, it is amazing
ly and refreshingly free from
snobbery.
In the early days after nine
Negro students entered Central
High School, students from
Proud Church took the lead in
befriending them. For example,
they invited Negroes to dine with
them in the school cafeteria. They
became objects of pressure from
segregationists and their over
lures of friendliness stopped. Mr..
Strategy tried through small
groups, seminars and personal
contacts to maintain these friend
ly gestures; he also asked his
youth workers to do likewise. He
failed, but he tried.
Like only a small number of
his ministerial colleagues, STRAIT
egg did not mince words when
he dealt with the approaching in
tegration at Central High School
from his pulpit shortly before
school opened. He told his con-
gregation that the Christian faith
demanded more of them than
that they acquiesce in a social
pattern that heaps indignities on
Negro citizens. He invited his
listeners to try placing them
selves in the position of those
who are the victims of discrinl-
nation. He exploded what he
termed myths" that some people
used to defend their bigotry. He
gave unqualified praise to the
gradual integration plan of the
local school board, and he pre-
sented evidence from the New
Testament to show that integra-
ton IS the only defensible posi-
ton for Christian.
At the conclusion of the serv-
ice, an elderly personal friend
and member of his congregation
for many years told him at the
church door, preacher, that was
a very good sermon. The only
thing wrong with. it is that it
just amt So" Generally though,
the sermon had a marvellous re-
ception"-especially from the
younger members.
Strategy is one of the Is local
ministers who issued a protest
against Governor Faubus' action
only a few hours after the Gov
ernor had called out the National
Guard. He feels strongly that the
Governor followed a lawless
course of action against the best
interests of the community and
the state.
And yet, Strategy has not dis
cussed the community's race
| problem from his pulpit since
that eventful day the National
Guard turned away Negro stu
dents seeking to enter Central
High. Nor has he issued state
ments to or through the press.
Nor is he publicly perceived by
either whites or Negroes as an
active or effective pro-integra-
ton minister. Nor has he public
ly proposed ameliorative action,
commented on the arrival of
Federal troops, condemned in
timidation in the high school;
challenged his members to seek
constructive solutions within a
desegrated framework, nor taken
any of the other actions some

and night of committees an d
organizations in various parts of
the plant, even the Chamber of
Commerce plaque above his desk
these suggest the operation of
a vast business firm.
Sincere, direct and candid, he
knew the visitor would be pri-
marily interested in the racial
crisis and he came right to the
point. Yes, he believes the nine
Negro children had every right
to attend Central High School
and he wanted to see them kept
there. No, he would not go so far
as to call himself an integration-
list.
"Gradualism describes my po-
sition best, sir. All of the truly
responsible leaders in Little Rock
both Negro and white, are grad
ualists too. But one of the hor-
rors of this terrible situation, l
tell you, is that the good terms
moderate and 'gradualist' have
become despised epithets hurled
at you by segregation extremists
as if you were some sort of Com
munist traitor.
Christian Love and
Irrational Fears
'This thing, you know, didn't
have to happen. Our deplorable
Governor can be blamed for most
of the trouble, I suppose, but
Eisenhower didn't help either by
announcing last summer that he
couldn't forsee any circumstances
that would lead him to call out
the troops. It comes down TO
the plain fact that we just didn't
receive any real leadership of any
kind from anywhere.
II see you smiling, sir, and I
know what you are thinking. All
of you social scientists are tn
same. You are wondering what
Christian leadership has been Of
| fered in all of this mess. In my
opinion, most of Little Rocks
ministers have been most cour-
,. ageous, everything considered.
Most of us had given sermons be-
fore the trouble. | gave a pretty
direct talk once or twice myself,
but I'm not sure they had much
of an effect. Raised a few segre-
cation backs in the congregation,
at least. And now I'm widely
known as opposing segregation in

I'm proud of the people in my
congregation, too. Not a mem
Der of my church was in that
awful mob at Central High
School. They wouldn't think Of
doing a thing like that They
believe in law and in orderly
processes fer settling differences.
Well ST, when all this trou-
BILE started this fall, you just
can't imagine how explosive the
whole thing became. l signed
that ministerial protest against
Faubus calling out the Guard,
but can't see that our announce
ment did any good at all 1t looks
like people have got into the
habit of respecting religion but
not listening to it. After that, it
seemed obvious to me, sir, that
this wasn't going to do anything
to help the situation. ! did, say
something on a radio program
about these addle- Drained segre-
gationist outfits we've got around
here, and it started an awful
ruckus around here in my church.
Il can't impress on you enough
how strongly some of my people
believe in segregation. They have
Christian love in their hearts for
the Negro, but they have lot of
irrational fears about desegrega-
ton. Like I said, l got into lit

nothing to gain by getting all in

more and more, I agree with him.
We've been having a big Every

ing campaign, you know - that's
what he came in to see me about
and he says that some of the
people want to sit tight on their
pocketbooks, what with all the
fuss going on. But when he tells
them that I'm not going to let
things get out of hand, they
pledge their tithes just like
they're supposed to.
$50 l haven't talked about race
directly since all the fuss began.
Debate just wasn't going to help.
Good Christians can believe in
either segregation or indignation.
Obviously, the first step, sir, was
to get all the Christians in the
community to return to God. And
this is what we tried to do with
our city-wide prayers for peace.
Reconciliation - that's what we
needed. The theme we needed is
right here: st. Paul's Second
Epistle to the Corinthians, fifth
chapter, 18th and 10Th verses.
And all things are of God, who
hath reconciled us to himself by
Jesus Christ, and hath given to
us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto him.
self, not imputing their trespasses
unto them; and hath committed
unto us the word of reconcilia-
ton That's it, reconciliation. A
powerful Christian term it is, too.
The newspapermen misunder-
stood it, I'm afraid. Because we
didn't have the prayers support
either side, or condemn anybody,
the press thought reconciliation
meant neutral and compromis-
ing. They simply missed til e
point.

BE Firm. But Don't
Stick Yuor Neck Out"

Il think those prayers were
the best thing we could have
done. We brought everyone back
to religion. We didn't get all en-
meshed in argument and emo
ton. We just prayed for Gods
guidance, and l think that alone
helped things considerably. Now,
except for q few, CIR ministers
are returning to the quiet, steady
work that in the end does the
most coed. The Church has been
the Church, and we have 'preserv-
ed it as such.
Nov, when you consider, sir,
what little influence religion has
on people today, l think you
have to admit that this city's
clergy has done about all it
could. Most Of us are known to
be in favor of gradual integra-
ton, but we've managed to go
on with the work of the Church.
And the Columbus Day prayers
made our citizens remember that
religious considerations must con-
tribute to a solution to the prb-
lem.
And I hope I've told you what
you wanted to know, sir. | can
sum it all up for you the same
way l did for two young pastors
who came to me for advice about
all this trouble. My policy, told
them, is to be firm, but don't
stick your neck out. This thing
has not disturbed the program of
my church and it's not going to-"
w. A STUDY IN CAUTION
Mr.. Strategy, pastor of Proud
Protestant Church, had a stand
ing agreement with his ushers
that any Negroes who attended
Sunday services in his church
would be seated and shown all
courtesies. In the fall of 1857
several of his ushers came to tell
him they could not sit wit h
Negroes nor willingly usher them
into the church. Suave, sincere,
refreshing Mr.. Strategy gave a
characteristic answer: That's all
right, | understand Just find
someone to take over your usher

return. Our policy will continue
unchanged (The ushers them
