Mayor Gordon Berry A Profile
In Courage

Down in Laurel the other day, Mayor Gordon Ber-
ry, concluding speech before the Laurel Junior Cham
Der of Commerce concerning the Mississippi delegation
to the recent National Democratic Convention had this
to say in reference to the problem in the state,
"our problem continues but methods of solving must
change with the changing times. We must accept
change and must realize that those basic concepts
necessary to southern welbeng cannot be applied
in the simple terms today that applied 100
years ago"
Mayor Berry the recognition of the fact that indi
vdual organization, with the purely negative ap
proach to the solution to the problem in the light
of today's world and todays world shaking events,
make any contribution to the future welbeng and
progress of the state.
john Viscount Morley, the noted British historian
and biographer, in his Life of Richard Cobden had
this to say about craftsmanship, Great economic and
social forces flow with tidal sweep communities

them Wise Statesmen those who foresee what time
is thus bringing and endeavOr to shape institutions and
to mold mems thought and purpose in accordance with

REV. JOHN r. PERKINS
WE MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER
TO GET IN HEAVEN
It Casey life to live today we
know
For we say it's hart to sin right
1t is because we don't want to obey
Children are answering yes and
Making them disobey Gods will
They are growing from bad to
God house is full of the world to-
today
1t is not so much Christ, it is what
you pay off
Christ is the door keeper of Gods
heaven
There is no other way to earth
We can obey the will of God
For he is the door keeper of
heaven.
If we fail to obey Christ Jesus
In the door keeper of all
So we must obey the father of
kingdom
With not a spot of sun
The Lord plane us many ways
So lift up your son Jesus Christ
The only one that is willing to give
up
Our sin with his pleasure life.
If the people would obey Gods
commandment
And keep his name
We would have a world to keep in
Kind of peace for every woman
and man
For us to give in peace it takes
love
The love of our Lord and savior
Jesus Christ
Who shed his blood on the rugged
cross
For the sin of any weeked one.
We can't get by without the Lord
Jesus Christ
We must have one-another to obey
If our Lord say love we mustn't
teach hate
Heaven is for US with a heart to
separate.
His pleasure world is to wise to
obey
The will of Christ Jesus no pay to
day
We say to one and all we call for
And not ever soul and hate.
How can we give in to sin today
And feel our savior great care
We are hating our neighbor that's
our loce
For Jesus Christ we have no fear.

Gradualism In Race Progress

1t should now be apparent that a Supreme court
decision cannot automatically improve race relations
1t is about six years since the famous ruling on
school desegregation. The results vary widely from
betterthanexpected in the border states to extreme
ly bad in the Deep South.
The prompt acceptance of desegregation in the
border states has been accompanied by substantial
tension of Negro civil rights without seriously stirring
racial feelings. In the Upper South from North Caro-
lima to Arkansas Indignation has at least been accepted
in principle without dangerous repercussion
But In the Deep South the issue has created state
of bitterness that has been dramatzed recently by the
Negro sltin tactics. BY the Deep South we refer to
South Carolina Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, Louisiana
and parts of Florida.
Writing in Look magazine George E. Mcmillan re-
ports dangerous situation and lays large part of the
blame on the theory of graduasm
is easy to understand the feeling of Illustration
among Negroes but we have yet to see any hopeful
substitute for long, slow process of persuasion which
Mcmillan calls "gradualism"
School desegregation will accomplish nothing for
the Negroes unless it leads to generally better race
relations and better economic opportunities.
unless genuine human progress is made little
be accomplished by about battle Bitter widening
divisions could be dangerous to the United States at
home and to its interests abroad When conditions are
rght, pressure by government battle by militant
groups may advance the purpose An example the real
gains for Negroes that have accompanied school de-
segregation in the border states But when pressure SIM
ply deepens well of bitterness sit is far worse than
useless.
According to Mcmillan, Negro job opportunities in
the South have declined in the last six years He inter-
prets the retrogresson sign of the failure of gradu
"'iit u' oeineo US as al INDICATION OF wrong Tao
tics for the situation Economic opportunity is the i'm
portan first step to the general progress of race
Failure at that point is fundamental
BY invading the civil rights of employers the federal
government might force the employment of Negroes in
specified jobs. But such attack would turn loose
the forces of hate and could not force en-
ployers to open the doors of genuine opportunity.
By sending troops to the South the government
might force admission of Negroes to all schools all res
tourans, and all other places where people gather But
It is that anyone could gain any satsfac-
ton benefits from rights maintained in scene of ex
IRENE hate
The only real gain in human relations must come in
the hearts and minds of the people involved
Progress in the Deep South depends on persuasion
among the people of the Obviously it long and
difficult undertaking. But in the deliberate chapters of
