PILGRIM BAPTIST

Our Morning Worship was con-
Quoted by Rev John H. Diggs, in
the absence of DR. Massey who is
on vacation. Rev Diggs delivered
a very forceful message on the
subject. The Penalties And Re-
wards of Wishing" His text was
from John 1889. Rev. Diggs
told us that wishing can be very
constructive if it is accompanied
by positive action to achieve the
goal one is seeking. He also re-
minded us that wishing can des-
troy, when accompanied by envy
and greed and unrealistiC desire.
Rev. Diggs admonished us to seek
love, truth and the higher moral
values of life. for only in these can
we find the peace and cOntentment
we are seeking.
MuriC for the morning Wor-
ship was by the Senior Choir. The
Children's Story was given by Miss
Paula Wood.
Miss Hazel L. Murray, Director
of Christian Education, returned
recently from a Summer Session
in Green Lake, Wisconsin and had
many favorable comments regard
ing it. We are hoping more dele
gates will attend next year.
Next Sunday at II am. Rev. H.
w. Bolts. Sr., will be the speaker.

that the group was opposed to
anything.
Coward told the meeting that
most white people are complacent
about the real threat OF the pres
ent and continuing mongrelization
of the white race by Negro prop
agandists, said Guilmant. An
ignorance of heredity laws was
implicit within many of the state
ments made by Coward. He and
most of those present assumed
that intelligence was literally
transported by the blood. They also
tended to believe. or at least stated
that children of mixed marriages
were invariably brownish hybrids
with distinct Negroid features"
Several references were made
attempting to connect racial equal
ity with communism. However,
much of the argument advanced by
these initial members Of the
NSPRW were spouted years ago
by Neitsche and Hitler. One
woman present was especially
vehement in her attack upon in

According to the students own
statement, the poison of his par

teacher who sought to have him

The father in turn claims that

British View:

In 1858, Lumumba set up the
Movement National Congolais, the
first real nationalist party in the
country, which draws its support
from areas all over the Congo,
including a powerful minority In
the Katanga. He led it with deter
mination. and handled his allies
with skill. But it was Kasavubu's
"Abako" party which was respon-
Sble for the furious Leopoldvine
riots in January, 1859, and for
shaking the Belgian Government
into awareness that paternalism
had failed.
A few days before, Lumumba
had addressed a spectacular mass
meeting on his return from the
first Au-African Peoples Confer
ence in Accra: by the end Of the
year he was once more in prison
after riots in his home town OF
Stanleyville. Two months later, he
was taken straight from prison to
the conference table in Brussels,
where in February he and the Bel
gians came to a highly optimistic
understanding on future independ-
ence. For a time it was relation
ship of real warmth on both sides
the Belgian Governor-General
startled Leopoldviue by kissing the
hand Of Mrs. Lumumba in public
but it lasted only few months.

After independence, there was
an angry breach between Lumum-
ba and the Belgian Administration
on the eve Of the first national
elections. The Belgians gambled on
his defeat, but he emerged as the
leader of the largest group in the
Assembly, and his installation as
Prime Minister was inevitable.
Swept along by the tide of disaster,
he now has little more control
over events than any other man.
But he still retains mastery over
his Cabinet, and fights obstinately
for his principles of unity.
Joseph Kasavubu accepted the
post of President of the Republic
and through the last weeks which
have threatened the Congos very
existence he has worked Loyalty
with Lumumba. But the test of his
loyalty will come when the Con-
golese Government faces up to the
Katanga's defiant secession, for
KasavUbu is himself an enemy Of
centralised government. At the
elections. he and the Katanga lead
er MOlshe TshOmbe were in open
alliance
Kasavubu is the grandson of a
Chinese labourer and a Bakongo
woman. At nearly fifty, he is a
small, rather podgy, Monaghan
looking man with a squeaky voice
and thick glasses, and it is hard

who has dreamed of reconstituting
the ancient Bakongo State at the
mouth Of the Congo, and of win
ming back for it old frontiers now
submerged by Angola and the
French Congo Republic. In prac-
tice, his immediate ideas seem to
demand a loosely federal State on
the Nigerian model.
