Christian A. Herter, who de-
clares: Il can tell you in all
assurance that this work pro-
vides one Of the finest con-
tributionS to my knowledge
to that mutual understanding
between people which is the
Surest foundation to lasting
peace" The Secretary knows
full well that the race is on
between the hammer and
the sickle, which destroys.
and Christian hammers and
nails which build. For in
the YMCA clubrooms, play
grounds, dormitorieS, Ii
brarieS, classroom and
chapels are provided the visi-
BILE on-the-spot proof that
democracy has a complete
program for youth out of
which the future will be built.
Toward the world goal of
SIG million for this work, for
the 1l6 projects in 33 coun-
tries. the original North
American goal Of S5 million
for the United States and
Canada is within 100000 of
being raised in cash and
pledges. For what is going
on now in all these coun-
tries through the "Y", as we
help them to help them
selves, the total for Amer
ica ought to be $40 million.
The needed extra millions
would be reached If a mil
lion Americans and Cana
dians would invest SIS each
in the worlds future! To be
SO associated in this exciting
program for building brother
hood around the world would
bring to each contributor the
highest personal satisfaction
and would help make this
movement, in spite of all
Communist opposition and
competition, strong as the
sun, pure as the moon, and
terrible as an army with
banners.
Here is a chance for every
American to help answer his
own prayer, Thy kingdom
come" This army Of brother
hood is not a visionary hope
- it is on the march now. 1t
invites you to fall in line
with the advancing ranks and
to send your portable per-
sonality, that is, your dedi-
Gated dollars, to 116 fertile
areas. If you want to enlist,
contact your local YMCA!
For Gods sake, for human
tty'S sake, for the worlds fu-
ture sake, in the verdict of
tomorrow do not bring down
upon your head the scathing
accusation which a king
hurled at a knight who failed
to play his part in a desperate
battle. Afterward, the king
sent this stinging message to
the recreant one: Go hang
yourself. We fought at Acqui
and you were not there!"
What a damning charge II,
by default. America, with all
its resources, allows the Com
munists to capture the
worlds youth and the King of
Kings says scornfully of any
one of us. I'VE fought-but
you were not there!!"

Commends Dr.. Harris

For some time now both
my wife and I have been con-
sistent readers Of the Spires
Of the Spirit column written
by DR.. Frederick Brown Har-
ris in The Sunday Star. To US
it has come to be a weekly
must" And on the basis of
my various associations I
know that this expressed
admiration for the column
also reflects the thoughts and
feelings of countless other
readers.
I sincerely congratulate The
Star for making the writings
of the Chaplain of the United
States Senate accessible to us.
In his own right DR.. Harris
is widely respected in many
quarters Of the globe for his
remarkable capacity to inter-
pref the temporal and ephem-
eral in terms of the eternal
and universally necessary. His
lucidly written column fur
nishes us with perspectives
and insightS which are not
readily obtainable elsewhere.
The manner in which he
invariably weds principle and
act, the moral idea and the
experiential empiric, illumi-
mates the meaning and sig
nificance Of every current
development he treats.
His recent article Let My
People Go" clearly SubStan-
tiates these points. In behalf
OF all our citizens who
observed Captive Nations
Week, I wish to express pub
licly our gratitude and esteem
for this superb literary rem
dition which will be widely
distributed next year. In
deed. DR.. Harris presented
the facts about the % captive
nations with impressive accu-
racy. His column is a source
of powerful spiritual susie
nance for all its readers.

SPIRES or THE SPIRIT
Building Men
By DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

build SkyscraperS, dams and
highways, but all history says
that unless it builds men it is
writing its own epitaph.
The glory of the missionary
enterprise Is that in the
midst Of ignorance, misery,
and degrading customs, ded-
icated men and women have
gone anywhere and every
where to set up factories of
faith whose product is char
acter. Again and again, in the
most primitive and debaSed
conditions, savagery has been
proved to be the quarry for
sainthood. It is this faith in
the redeemability of human
nature, in spite of the atroci-
ties Of natives not yet
reached. that is expressed in
the desire of many Congo
missionaries to return to
their field because they have
seen positive results of their
man-building program.
1t is a long climb from the
horrible moraSs when Jerome
in the fourth century tells of
witnessing disgusting canni-
baliSm, in Britain, to st.
PaulS Cathedral and the
Archbishop of Canterbury.
The explanation is that since
then Christianity has been
building men. In the SEEM
ingly most unlikely places
are waiting the stones and
beams ready to be fashioned
into a new house for human
ity.
The present titanic struggle
for the minds and souls of
men is really a contest for
the worlds youth which
everywhere is the main tar
get Of Communist penetra-
tion and propaganda.
Into this world arena
where the crucial battle is
raging there is marching a
valiant army composed of
builders Of brotherhood in a
Christian offensive long over
due. On its waving banners
are inscribed the significant
words, Young Mems Chris
tian Association" That ex-
pedition of conquest has al
ready set up 116 new bar
racks and ramparts in 80 ad-
ditional countries. The "Y"
has ten thousand centers in
rs countries. In a concen-
trated effort by people of
many races, faiths and ma
tionalities. it goes to these
countries not with the roots
Of theology, but with the
fruits of the spirit.
The funds being raised
in America represent seed
money which helps others to
do as much as they can for
themselves. The objective of
the present campaign is for
buildings in which and from
which may operate forces
that generate brotherhood
and build manhood.
These builders of brother
hood are at work with their
constructive program in Ar
gentina, Bolivia, Belgium,
Brazil. Burma, Ceylon, Chile,
Egypt. Ethiopia, Formosa
France. Germany, Greece,
Hong Kong. India, Indonesia,
Israel. Italy, Japan, Jordan,
Korea, Lebanon, Liberia. Ma
laya, Mexico, Pakistan, Para
quay. Peru, the Philippines,
Portugal, Thailand, Turkey,
Uruguay and Venezuela.
In that roll-call resounds
the summons of that One
whose precepts and princi-
pies point the one way to
more abundant life and who
said, Go into all the earth" "
The generalissimo who
leads the American sector of
this army of builders is the
Secretary of State, Honorable

Congress was in process so

SABATHANI BAPTIST

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear, though
the earth be removed, and though
the mountains be carried into the
midst of the sea-" Psalm 46:1 & 2.
Members and friends gathered
together for the II am. worship
hour before the ruins of our church
home to pray for guidance and to
pay homage to God.
The morning scripture was the
entire chapter of Psalm 46. Music
was furnished by the choirs, as
sisted by the congregation, with
Rev. Stanley King directing and
Mrs. William Wsrder at the piano.
Rev. King brought a message of
inspiration and req adication.
Thanks to Rev. w. L. Battles
and the House of Refuge, our
broadcast was able to be aired over
radio station WMIN. Rev. King
did not give a sermon, but ex-
pressed our thanks to our many
friends, who called with offers of
help and to many of our sister
churches, who have already sent
financial contributions. Following
our broadcast the Jr Choir gave
us a short program.
Until our new church home is
completed we will be using the
auditorium at Bryant Jr. high
school, located at Third Avenue and
38th Street for Sunday school and
morning worship. We invite you to
join with us in our worship serv-
ices. We ask your prayer for our
church in it's new endeavor.

reporter.

ferent at McDonough which is stu
ated on a well-traveled thorough
fare but also in a neighborhood
populated by lower-income fam
lies.
A crowd averaging about 100
grouped across the street from the
school where the three Negro girls
and one white boy studied. The
group, however, was a sharp re-
duction in number from previous
days.
At the end of the school day,
us. marshals quickly slipped into
the building, then emerged just as
rapidly, leading the three little
girls, one at a time, to three wait
ing autos
The cars drove away with police
escort. The little girls, each one
immaculate and fresh-eyed, rode
in a back seat. They looked in
quiringly out the windows. From
their well-scrubbed faces came no
sign of fear.
Enrolment Drops
Either they didn't understand
the taunts or they had been pre-
pared for them armed with vast
quantities of restraint and cour-
age.
The normal enrolment of the
schools totals 1,O38. Negroes en-
tered them for the first time Mon
day and attendance dropped in
creasingly every day thereafter.
Attendance in fact, dropped off
sharply in the entire New Orleans
school system. OF a total 80, 726
students in elementary and sec
ondary schools, 1896 failed to
show up for classes.
Teen-Agers In Violence
Many teen-aged students, both
white and Negro, took part in the
violence Negroes drove through
the streets shooting wildly at white
pedestrians and whites beat Ne
groes.
The school board, whose offices
were the target of a yelling mob
that police quelled with fire hoses,
said it was tired of letting the
schools be a battle-ground for the
fight between state and federal
rights"

FINAL RITES HELD
FOR MARION BOILING

Final rites for Marion A. Boiling,
70, of $40 Rondo Av., who died
November IT, in Ancker hospital,
were held at II am. Saturday,

said to be one of the greatest
churches in architectural design in
the upper Midwest. 1t was fitting
that Zion should be invited to this
particular house of worship, in as
much as we are about to undertake
"a building program.
It is noteworthy that our min
ister brought out in his brief re-
marks that we as a group should
aspire to a goal of achieving first
class houses of worship and should
not always be content with worn
out, or hand-me-down churches. II
we desire to be treated as first
class citizens, we should have first
class homes, automobiles, etc. and
should follow thru with our first
class citizenry to include our
church home.
A victory goal of $4,000 and a
challenge goal Of $4,000 has been
set for this drive. AS of Sunday
evening, with approximately half
of the members and friends con-
tacted. $65, 900 had been reported
in pledges. If this generous trend
continues, then the challenge goal
Of $50 900 will be surpassed.
There is no doubt that Gods
presence in this campaign has been
the determining factor as to wheth-
err we shall obtain our challenge
goal. If we as a church maintain
a close relationship with God, then
there are no boundaries to our
achievements, for His power is in
finite and His love everlasting.

1t was reported Thursday night
that the father of the sole Negro
girl at Franz school was fired from
his job at a New Orleans service
station in the height of the integra-

The owner told newsmen he let
the father go because local people
were constantly calling him up on

owner claimed that emotional feel
