one must be filled and glow with
the spirit Of service. DR.. Massey

drift into inactivity is ever present,
so we must not be content merely
to refrain from doing objection
able things, but must take a posi-
tive attitude and constantly strive
to be of service to others.
The quarterly meeting Of the
Minnesota State Baptist Sunday

closed at Pilgrim Sunday after

ST. PETERS ANIE

In spite of the low temperature.
the spring like sun brought many
church goers to the 10:45 am.
service on Sunday, March Is. The
first words uttered by Rev. M. l..
Simmons as he rose in humility
was the hymn, Spirit of God
Descend Upon My Heart" with
the Cantinos in the background
providing the music.
The subject of his inspiring mes
sage was THE Tragedy Of Christ
less Soul" The text was from
Matt: 1924, The Son of man
goeth as it is written Of him; but
woe unto that man If he had not
been born" Rev. Simmons referred
to the story of Judas as he be-
trayed Christ, how he sat at the
supper table with Christ and the
twelve disciples and camouflaged
his way through by asking Lord
is it I?
The speaker stated the strength
of such creatures in the church to-
day who resemble Judas. Jesus
knows every mans heart as He
know Judas, but he allows them
to string along as Judas followed
Jesus everywhere. He further stat
ed that there are people in the
church with carnal minds who will
do anything not for the sake Of
doing, but for the praise for doing.
Rev. Simmons pointed out that
Judas was a rugged materiaist
who placed his own interest above
all, as power over principal riches
above righteousness, gold above
God and security, but no Savior.
He said, There Is nothing more
tragic than to get what you want
and lose what you need. Judas
was warned as are people today,
that when you lose Christ you will
suffer the loss Of all"
In conclusion, the Pastor stated
that the Joy that comes from God.
does not end with what one re-
ceives, for life cannot go on with
out a spiritual under girder, but

A Negro driver for Blue and
White said a cab union official
told him the fault was in the police
cab inspectors office.
Luther johnson, Minneapolis po-
lice cab inspector said there was
nothing to the story. Its prepos-
ferrous he said my duties are

any way interfere with taxi cab

There Is also growing resent
ment Hnoldering over the fact
that after three years Of employ
ment Of Negro drivers by the two
firms listed that the Airway which
has always enjoyed a large Negro
patronage does not have a single
driver.
Last summer, a movement to in

Robinson, who spent a day in
Washington, indicated that Amer
lea must first clean up her own

how to live.
He praised the youth Of this

them by the Constitution. This

Senator Humphrey Comments
Humphrey, the only presidential
hopeful to comment upon Essen
hower's casual attitude toward
civil rights and the student sit
down demonstrations had the fol-
lowing to say:
TT must have been embarrass-
ing for the President to go about
Asia and South America preaching
democracy and brotherhood, when
the crowds around him must have
been whispering about the bigotry,
discrimination and intolerance ex-
listing in this country" said the
Minnesota Senator.
Humphrey also praised the cour-
age Of the young people Of the
South for their stand against dis
elimination These young people
are asking for nothing new. They
are only requesting that the Con-
stitution of the United States
guaranteeing them certain rights,
be implemented, he declared.
Should Take Firm Stand
The President of the United
States has a duty and a respon-
SbiHty to take a firm stand on
the things that are right, contin-
ued Humphrey.
The Senator was asked II he
thought a firm stand coming from
the White House would have any
effect on this discriminatory eating
as practiced at dime store lunch
counters in certain areas Of this
country.
Humphrey said that the serving
Of all citizens on an equal basis is
morally right. And If there is a
statutory law which conflicts with
a moral law then the constitutional
law should be changed. The Con-
stitution should coincide with the
moral law which is the right law.
1t Is unbelievable, he said, that
people would argue about who sits
beside them to have a coke in a
public place.
