Excerpts on other subjects fol-
low:
COMMUNISM: For the church
it is most important always to
recognize it's negation of God and
it's disregard for the sacredness Of
human personality"
COMMUNITY MORALS: Your
Bishops express their growing con-
Germ and justificatiable alarm at
the increasing moral decadence
that has weakened our national
prosperity and educational ad-
vance"
WORLD MISSIONS: with 80
percent of the peoples of the world
being colored and constituting the
majority race; with their progress
in education and military science
accelerated there can be great
danger of world conflict Of races
unless the church can bring to
bear the full force Of the Gospel
of Christ to this most dangerous
situation, dangerous to the future
world peace"
AFRICA: Those who argue for
a change in the word African"
in the name of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church would do
well to remember that the name
African" goes far beyond the
ethnic connotations. The word
african" in the traditional and
historic sense means commitments
and a dedication far beyond the
change that time may bring"
The AME Church had previous
ly gone on record as favoring the
student sit-in protests, and the
several college presidents in at
tendance at the General Confer
ence have indicated that they will
take no disciplinary action against
students who demonstrate for civil
rights as long as such demonstra-
tions are peaceful and conducted
with dignity.

and White Cab Company for race
discriminatory practices. The COM
missions two previous requests
for this company to do away with
its discriminatory practice Of not
allowing Negroes to drive the
night shifts have been completely
ignored.
However, before I left that
meeting I experienced the same
sensation I had as a young boy the
first time came face TO face
with the problems that I as a
Negro would have the rest of my
life.
LAS young boy I had come to
believe the constitution and docu-
ments claiming that every man
regardless of race, religion or
status was equal under the law.
Also had come to believe that
when this equality was violated
both white and Negro alike would
work to remedy the situation.
Ever since l can remember my
parents had tried to explain to
me the facts Of life, 50 that the
establishment they knew was
coming as a result of these be-
liefs might be softened. What they
tried to warn me against came
and many times.
The first and most forceful
example came within a week after
1 went into the military service
and the latest example occurred
last week in a meeting with the
Minneapolis F'EPC.
while being transported to the
basic training center, l met and
became friends with a white boy
from Cincinnati, Ohio. In fact we
became more than friends; we be-
came buddies in the most literal
sense -fifty-fifty all the way.
"One evening about a week
after arriving at the center he and
I were among the last ones admit
ted to the dining hal before the
doors were locked. The custom
was that after the doors were
locked and everyone had been
through the mess line once, those
who wanted could go back for a
second serving of food. Cherry
pie was the dessert-a favorite Of
mine
Il went back and asked for
more of the pie. The cook, who
had just given the fellow ahead Of
me some pie, said there were no

fled. The South has always stood
up against overwhelming odds.
The Civil War is the classic exam
pie. Yet the Civil War Is only the
symbol of the South's lonely posi-
ton in the world: she tried to set
up a static society in the chang
ing West; even today she tries to
maintain a static society in the
changing world. With all her good
intentions, she was always headed
for defeat.
Tragically caught in such sit
uation, she has always defended
the status quo. AS heroism Is the
chief characteristic Of the tragic
character, so heroism has been her
chief characteristic. She has stood
upon the borders Of her sacred
soil, and fought back as she could
the ceaseless attacks of the in
fidels. In a world going as she
thought to the dogs, she has tried
to maintain the past unchanged.
Since she has always lost, she Is
the self-anointed defender Of lost
causes. Again, the great example
is the Civil War. But even before
that war she was preparing her
self to lose: absorbing the roman
ces of Walter Scott, dreaming Of
feudalism already gone, catch
ing from the stories themselves
the nostalgia for lost causes: al
ready, like Fitz-James, with her
back against the rock, out-num-
bered and out-gunned.
Anyone who wishes to defend
the past should study the history
of the South. Great leaders, brave
men, true heroes, and what have
we now? Even as I write the sun
is going down on Capitol Hill,

machines that will make our stand
ard of living comparable to theirs.
But this isn't all.
At the height of the moral argu-
ment, in 1S49, Henry David Thor
eau. of Massachusetts,, aroused by
the Mexican War, which seemed to
him a project for the extension Of
slavery, published an essay called
Civil Disobedience," and indeed
went to Jail overnight to back
up his stand. Some half-century
later Mohandas Gandhi read this
essay, and applied its principles
in South Africa, where he was
then living. After this dry run,
another half-century passed, at
the end of which Gandhi, through
the application of these principles,
had freed India. Ten years later,
Martin Luther King, Jr., having
studied Gandhi's career. applied the
same principles successfully in
Montgomery. And now, all over
the South, Negro students, fol-
lowing in the footsteps Of King,
are seating themselves quietly at
lmch-counters, formerly reserved
for whites. 1t really is hard to get
around the Yankees.
It's especially hard when most
Of the students don't even know
that this is a Yankee idea. It's
travelled around the world and
taken on a brown tone since ii
was first enunciated. Worse than
that, it hits the white Southerner
rather close to where he lives. For
however you appraise what the
students are doing, here is a kind
of heroism, and the South has al
ways prided itself upon its hero
ism.

the seth quadrennial general cen
ference of the AME church here
by Bishop Joseph Gomez Of Cleve-
land.
The Episcopal Address, as it is
officially called, covered a wide
range of subjects from world
peace, Communism, Africa, Cath
olicism, to purely denominational
matters.
It included official recommend
atoms of the Bishops Council for
elaboration and discussion by
delegates to the general confer
ence.
Eight-hundred-fifty delegates to
the denominations official policy
making and legislative body, even
w divided between ministers and
laymen, represent 18 Episcopal
districts covering continental I'm
tied States, Canada, the West In
dies, South America and Africa.
A record total Of IS elected
delegates from overseas areas,
including IL from South Africa
are in attendance. The confer
ence closed Tuesday, May II.
One of the more controversial
subjects in the message concerned
the significance to the Christian
world of the recent invitation of
the Pope of the Catholic Church
to join in a world meeting of
church leaders.
The report stated that despite
general approval Of the idea Of
strengthening Christian unity, an
evident gap exists in that it is
felt that the logic of such a move
ment calls for first the Inaugural
ton of a Liaison on community
and national levels now totally alb
sent, since Catholics refuse, and
in many places are forbidden to
attend Protestant meetings"
Referring to the current juris-
dictional fight of the Methodist
Church the AME official position
was that the failure to bring
about a union on all branches Of
i American Methodism, despite the
earnest desire of the body to do so
indicates that the particular work
and destiny in which we (Africar
Methodist Church) were called
have not been fulfilled.
THE American atmosphere is
yet beclouded by fogs of seperat'
ism both in church and state anc
the question of the colored mans
fullest participation unresolved
We await the coming of the Lords
, Day, but it welcomes offers Of dis
Lcussion and explorations"
