State Employment Services
Discriminate
Mr.. Hill said the state employ
ment services in various Southern
states - Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina and partially in
Virginia and Tennessee - follow a
rigid pattern of racial segregation
and discrimination.
All job orders are racially de-
signed and all job referrals are
made on the basis of race. The
federal government pays the oper-
ating costs of all state employ
ment services. It is therefore in
effect subsidizing racial discrimin-
alton by these state agencies in
defiance of its own principles that
all American citizens should be
given equal treatment.
Affiliated unions Of the ALL
CIO have four main categOries
of racial discrimination: outright
exclusion of Negroes; segregated
locals; separate racial seniority
lines In collective bargaining
agreements; and exclusion Of
Negroes from apprenticeship
training programs.
Today, in every large urban
centre in the United States, wheth-
er north or south. Negro workers
are denied jobs in the large in
dustrial and residential construc-
ton projects because they are,
with some few exceptions, barred
from membership in the building
trades craft unions. Quite often
Negroes are excluded altogether
from white neighborhoods
In 1912 Mr.. Gunnar Myrdal
observed that the official Op-
position Of the trade union move
ment against racial opposition
"dOes not mean much" In prac-
tice 1t has done very little to
stop this discrimination. Mr.. Hill
thinks the same painful verdict
Is true today.
He wants the federal govern
ment to change various laws to
check discrimination and to be far
more vigorous in seeing that nc
federal funds or contracts are used,
even indirectly, to support or toll
crate a system Of discrimination
against colored citizens. In view OF
the massive evidence cited by Mr.
Hill in his report these recommen-
dations are very moderate.

PILGRIM BAPTIST


Gods Fruit Trees" based on the
text Luke 1869 was the subject
of the sermon brought by DR..
Massey at the morning worship
hour at Pilgrim Baptist Church,
st. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday,
January 21.
The minister posed the question:
What is it about the tree that
commands so much attention?
First, the tree was there because
it was planted it did not get
there by chance. The same is true
of our lives; we are here because
lit was Gods will. Secondly, DR..
Massey pointed out the tree had
purpose to bear fruit. Like
ourselves, it was planted to serve.
Third, the tree was planted in a
particular place vineyard
for protection nurture. Likened
unto our lives, we have been
nurtured and protected by God
fearing parents.
In spite of being endowed with
all. the aforementioned positives,
the tree failed to produce which
is why it was ordered to be cut
down. The same can happen to us
when we fail to serve God. God
gives us the opportunity and 1t is
up to us to build.
DR.. Massey pointed out the re-
suits of failing to cooperate with
God. % Uselessness = not bad
people but people who are OIL
lockers rather than doers of the
work of the. church. The most ap-
pealing waste in our world is
complacency. Further, uselessness
is a sin in the sight Of God. (2)
Positive hindrance - the tree was
a parasite - giving nothing in re-
turn for its existence. So it is
with us who neglect our obliga-
tions to the church. Indifference
hardens into positive antagonism;
we fail in our duties and start
rationaliZing our failures by point
ing out the weaknesses in the
church. The final result of useless
ness is it invites disaster - the
natural law is that anything that
is useless is cut down. Only be-
cause Of Gods mercy is it not an
Immediate destruction.
DR.. Massey concluded that there
was a way out - repentance. He
admonished the worshippers to re-
pent and work positively. You will
find your whole life changed and
you will produce fruits for Christ.
The fruits being love, compassion,
usefulness and passionate service.
Prior to the sermon, DR.. Massey
narrated the Children's story
which emphasized the Importance
of patience and prayer.
Uniting with the church were: {:
Mrs. Clifford Frelix, Miss Maude
Light and Master Calvin Willis.
Next Sunday at II am. Youth
Day will be observed and speakers

ZION BAPTIST


The congregation at Zion was
caught off base, and put out, Sum
day, Jan. Fl, when the Pastor.
Rev. ]. r. Holloway, challenged
them in his sermon "a Tip or a
Tithe ?" Scriptural passage Luke
1910.
Are we tippers in the modern
culture sense in our giving and
service to the cause; or, are we
tithers - because Jesus has came
into our lives? This central
thought ran throughout this text,
as the pastor taught, as well as
preached last Sunday.
Said Rev. Holloway: "A tip is a
means of controlling one, and we
should be glad we serve one whom
will not be controlled by either
a tip, or a tithe. Tips have their
place in our society, but, not in our
churches. Yes, tithing should be a
part of christian giving, but only,
as a measuring rod to go by. We
would remember not only our
tenth; but the free-will offering,
and not forget to live justly, walk
humbly, which is our reasonable
service. The pastor said in con-
cluding: Christians should start on
the runway of tithing and go on
ward and upward, remembering
that all things belongs to God"
The youth of Zion and our city
will be projecting themselves in
connection with Youth Weeks ac-
tivities Sunday, Jan. %. Rev.
Henry o. Hardy, intern minister,
will be the Youths Speaker who
will begin this weeks programs.
The theme ending Feb. 4, will be

cause full scale wars can be ex-
perienced by a Negro in Mime
apolis everyday. Minneapolis, how
ever, does not stand alone. Every
city in America has conditions
that constantly remind the Negro
that he is not Of the Caucausin
race.
And the Negro doesn't have to
look in the mirror to examine the
complexion of his skin to be re-
minded. Instead, he can examine
the illusion the majority race of
people of our city of lakes are
showing the country and the world.
Unfair hiring policies and dis
elimination in housing are part
of this picture. These ideas prob
ably sound ridiculous, but have you
ever tried renting house through
the Minneapolis Star or Tribune?
Try it and tell the caretaker or
landlord to whom you are speak
ing, If by telephone, that you are
a Negro. If you are suspicious
about job opportunities, try shak-
ing the bushes of employers.
Segregation in Minneapolis also
exists in other forms. What feel
ing do you get when riding a city
bus and the seat beside you is the
last to be occupied? OF course, it's
more comfortable to have a seat all
to yourself, but don't you have an
inclination that you are being
treated as a Negro and not a hui
man being?
It's the actions and reactions of
man that serve as prerequisites
for wars. Little things seem totally
unimportant. The porter who con-
soles the mother as he talks about
living conditions on an Army post,
the young boy who helps the lady
across the street, and the bride
who greets her returning husband
are examples Of the kind Of rela-
tions between human beings that
help to prevent war.
Wars are only inevitable as long
as we as human beings cannot
prove that we will war no more.
AS long as there is segregation in
the Armed Forces, incidents SIM
iliar to those that Mr.. Rowan con-
fronted, or programs designed to
preserve the silk-stocking, lilly
white neighborhood, there are
seeds sown in fertile soil for war.
Wars have been fought because
of differences Of opinion concern
ing the human minority race. The
historic French Revolution Of 1889
had as its undermining cause -
nationalism. In the war between
the States (1861-65), the American
Negro might well have been the
immediate and long range cause.
The seed Of World War I was
sown at the Berlin Conference in
1882 because Of the national min
ority issue.
If it's not too late to make a
resolution, I would like to resolve
that If trips into outerspace or to
the home Of our next door neigh
Dor were projects towards human
understanding, there would be
peace on earth always. Such eff
forts on the part Of all mankind
would eliminate the need Of Amer
ican soldiers who guard the Atlas
or Hawk missile. These efforts
would also eliminate barriers Of
segregation for those who salute
the flag of country who selects
ones final resting place because Of
color, national origin or race.

Many of the checks the cur

A factor being taken into
