The lord gave me the words to
write
And allow my people to read, see
and know
We must live here an everyday
life
And live it here from door to door.
We might as we'll start today
With a new life for Christ
He shed his blood on the rugged
cross
To give us that eternal happy life.
Gods family is a oneless family
his children
Are the brothers and sisters of
Christ
We have got to love one another
To receive that eternal happy life.
The home of God is no more the
church
The church is in the hearts of all
Christians today
Christ set the church up in the
hearts of his people
And we must believe and not go
astray.
We cannot live in sin and obey a
par+ -, Cbr;e%
Why do you claim that you don't
own
That you have been born again the
spirit of Christ
And claim heaven to be your home.
My people there are no excuses
today
You have read Gods word, you
know right from wrong
Why would you lose your soul
today
And make the devils hell your
home.
Once upon a time you could not
write a single line
So now your brain shines as bright
as the sun
And your heart is full of sun dur
ing the day
And Gods will has not been done.
Christ said his yoke was easy you
But the treasure is not so
You must be born in the spirit of
God
If you expect to enter heavens
door.
Christ is the door keeper of Gods
Heaven
He shed his blood for you and
me
For all who have been born again
Of the spirit of God and made
free.
We have too many make believes
in Gods house
Fooling religion and that is all
We must be born in the spirit of
God
To be ready when Christ Jesus
calls.

torial convention of his Northern
Rhodesia African National Con-
gress for Sept. 10. He will resign
that day as president and request
immediate reelection in an attempt
to out-maneuver various national
ist factions that have called for
his custer.
Last month Mr.. Nkumbula sus-
pended Titus Mukupo, national sec
retary, and other officers of the
Congress. Mr.. Nkumbula suspected
a plot to overthrow him. Mr.. Mu-
kupo had contended that Mr..
Nkumbula had become too pro-
white.
Reconciliation Sought
When the Congress convenes
next month, Mr.. Nkumbula will at
tempt to reunite several national
ist groups that have split off from
the Congress during the last twelve
months, usually in opposition to
his own eight year leadership.
Mr.. Nkumbula hopes to merge
with the United National Independ-
ent party, the United National Fed
eral party, remnants of the now
banned Gambia African National
Congress and members of the Nor
thern Rhodesia African Minework-
ers Union and the Northen Rho
desia African Railway Union.
Only one other candidate has of
ficially come forward in opposition
to the 43-year-old presidents re-
election. Mainza Chona, 81 years
old, political unknown and Nor
thern Rhodesia's only African lay
yer, has indicated that he will
stand for office. He was called to
the bar last year at Gray's Inn,
London, but has had no other uni
versity training. He is married and
has three children.
Another candidate may be Ken
meth Kaunda, the banned Gambia
presidt ut now serving nine months
in prison for having held an un-
authorized public meeting. Mr..
Mukupo, Dauti Yamba, a member
of the Rhodesia and Nyasaland
Federal Parliament, and Dixon
Konkola, president of the railway
union, may also run.

ruled that O'Meara must sell to
Jones under 1857 State law be-
cause O'Meara had FHA-insured
loan on the home. The law pro-
hibits discrimination in public-as-

Judge Hodson ruled that the
FILA loan in this case did not
eliminate O'Meara's right to deal
with whom he pleased.
"The mere existence of an FHA-
insured mortgage on his house is
far too tenuous a thread upon
which to hang such a drastic in
vasion of his constitutional right
to do as he pleases with his own
property" the Judge said in his
written opinion. "The thumb of
