Minister Affa:ks
RomneY's Mormon
Faith AS Blessed

Detroit CAMP - A claim by a
Negro minister that the doctrine OF
one political candidates Mormon
religion holds the Negro to be in
ferior drew quick reaction from
George Romney, Detroit Industrial
list campaigning for governor of
Michigan.
The question was raised by the
Rev. Albert B. Cleage Jr., min
lister of Central Congregational
church, after Romeny, a Republi-
can, announced his candidacy for
the governorship.
Backed BY Negro Minister
Rev. Cleage last week circulated
an eight-page tabloid, called 1.-THE
Illustrated News" at a number of
Negro churches, attacking Rom
ney's "double-talking on the Nor
mon doctrine of Negro inferiority."
Romney answered the attack on
his religion by saying that it would
help rather than hinder him. He
said he has always treated Ne
groes fairly. But Rev. Cleage re-
torted: This is not the question.
Many people treat dogs fairly, and
are kind to them, but do not ac-
cept them as equals. This is Rom
ney's position in regards to the
Negro"
Some other Negro leaders diff
fered with Rev. Cleage, however,
and invited Romney, who is cred
tied with leading a successful
fight to establish a constitutional
civil rights commission, to speak
at their churches and before their
organizations.
One, Rev. A. A. Banks, Jr., pas
tor of Second Baptist church, said
he disagreed with Rev. Cleage's
judgement OF Romney and accused
his fellow minister of dragging
in the religious issue sideways"
The attack on Romney by Rev.
Cleage was also accompanied by
another on Albert B. Chennault
ST., a Negro builder who has been
named the industrialist's campaign
manager.
"Romney would put an octupus
in his campaign organization If he
thought this would guarantee the
octupus vote" Rev. Cleage declar-
ed. He questioned how "any self
respecting Negro" would accept
such an appointment.

jections.
Bush's claim that he had made
prior complaints was confirmed by
Frederick c. Andrews, manager of
the club, who also stated COM
mercial restaurants in the city OBJ
jected to the use of the club fac
ilities to feed the school athletes
as unfair competition"
Another factor in the incident
was that three of the youths wore
sweaters and two, sport coats.
Mr.. Andrews stated maitre de
Jewell Higdon reported to him
Monday that the youths were not
admitted to the regular dining
rooms because of their dress. Sat-
urday night at the club is dress
up night and not even members
are allowed in the main dining
room without jackets, Mr.. An
drews said
Galloway and Crockett both had
dined at the club previously.
Ike Armstrong stated the club
had been very cooperative in ex-
tending dining facilities to athletes
already enrolled at the school and
those whom the school is trying
to sell on Minnesota.
He also stated that he thought
that Saturday night was a bad
night to send athletes to the club
because it is the social night
for club members and their fam
lilies.
Despite the incident it is under
stood that at least one of the
Texas boys were impressed by the
campus and the surrounding COM
munities and may decide to enroll
at Minnesota in the fall. Both are
outstanding high school football
players.
Meanwhile a hundred different
versions Of the incident were heard
discussed at the club itself and in
the street and in the Negro COM
munity.
Some members of the club open
ly expressed their displeasure that
any hint of racial incident should
have occurred in the club to mar
its relatively" good reputation.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

A capacity throng of Easter
Worshippers at Pilgrim heard DR..
Massey deliver his annual Easter
sermon. The minister chose as his
subject: mot Here, Risenw The
text was from Mark 1876. De-
parting from his usual formal, DR..
Massey offered for consideration
the first eight verses of Mark IS.
From this background, the minis
ter developed a sermon that point
ed up the fact that basically the
Easter message is that He is
Risen, Go and Tell It."
DR.. Massey continued that the
book of Mark tells of the strength
of the faith Of prosecuted believers.
During his discourse, the minister
developed these points: (1) When
we are faithful, we gain a new
strength often you can feel
God, the Burden Bearer, right by
your side. (2) God often surprises
the faithful with rewards we
are often able to overcome insur-
mountable obstacles. (3) God al
ways has an answer for all i'm
movable stones, just as He did for
the one at the sepulchre.
In conclusion DR.. Massey told
the worshippers that the most dan
gerous man in the world is Christ
|. let Him into our hearts and
he will turn the world upside
down. The most powerful explosion
ever known to man was the news
of Christ Arising! Because He
lives we shall live.

ing babies were dedicated: Pamela
j. Hampton, James P. Henderson
and Elizabeth Zachary.

an all-out segregationist and white
supremacist who advocates an
American-style apartheid - strict
separation of the races.
Perez has gone so far in oppos-
ing Archbishop RummePs order as
to incriminate the National Coun-
Gil of Christians and Jews, for
what he terms the organization
communistic influence on the
Catholic Church. Politically, he
has always campaigned hard for

the labor of the poor Negroes who
work on his plantation.

Mrs. Gaillot is reported to be
the possessor of no more than a
seventh grade education, although
she processes to be versed in the
Interpretation of the Bible. She
has interpreted the Good Book"
as the authority for segregation
of the races. Despite her lack of
education, Mrs. Gaillot has chal-
lenged Archbishop Rummel on doc
trine and his authority to excom-
municate her. (Arrhbishop Rum
mel Is not only a leading caronist,
but he was a member of the Epis-
copal Committee, made up of lead
ing Catholic theologians, who par
ticipated in the writing of the New
Confraternity version of the Bible.
Mrs. Gaillot seems to welcome
the publicity, even if adverse,
which the desegregation controv-
ersy has brought her.
Shortly after the excommunica-
ton order was issued, she flung
herself on her knees before the
archbishop while he was at prayer,
begging for mercy while at the
same time asking him to admit
his error in issuing the order.
Afterwards she delighted in relat-
ing the account of the incident to
newsmen.

Little is known of Ricau's back

Citizens Council of which he is a
leading officer Is one of the most

Indignation.
Thus far the three segregation
lists - Perez, Ricau, and Mrs.
Gaillet - seem to be frustrated in
their fight against the desegrega-
ton order and the ex-communica-
ton penalty. The Vatican has in
dicated its support for Archbishop

ZION BAPTIST

A1ON BAPTIST
The Easter Parade was a beauti-
full sight at Zion Baptist Church,
as members and friends of Zion, in
large numbers, marched to Wor-
ship God at Sunrise and the II
am. services.
Our intern minister, Rev. Henry
o. Hardy, delivered the message
at the Sunrise Service and our
Pastor, Rev. ]. r. Holloway, de-
livered the message at the II am.
service.
THE Crucifixion of Death, was
the sermon delivered by Rev.
Henry o. Hardy, using Matt. %:
1-8 as his scriptural background.
Rev. Hardy said, THE Easter
experience tells us that death has
been killed, for Jesus declared
all power of Heaven and Earth
is in my hand" Death to life is
the concern of mankind. Death is
also a natural experience of life be-
cause it is the doorway to the be-
yond. Sometimes we worry about
the eternal death after life when
we should be worrying about liv-
ing in the here and now.
The minister continued by say
ing that "the resurrection assured
us that there will be a life after
death. The defeat of the grave
that man has a second chance.
Christians should not be concerned
about those who do not come UP
to our expectations, but whether
they come up to the expectation of
God.
At the II am. service our Pas
tor, Rev. J. R. Holloway, preached
from the subject, THE Risen Lord
goes Before U.s." taken from Matt.
%: ST.
The minister stated that, 1.-THE
Easter message brings a new and
entitled emblem on us as we wor-
ship.
The Risen Lord in the Holiness
of this hour and giving God praise
that His Son Rose from the dead
that we may follow Him.
Rev. Holloway stated, many
people, believe that there is moth
ing to this whole business of Jesus
and that He is still in the grave.
There is an area in life that leads
us to wonder if Jesus is alive. The
church and social workers are not
reaching out and bringing our
people to Christ because there are
so many still standing by the grave
and are not aware that Jesus has
gone on before us, holding the BAN
lner up high and leading the way
for those who will follow Him.
Rev. Holloway went on to say,
there has always been those who
will stand up and say Jesus is
alive and has risen from the dead,
that He is leading us in His power
and grace for you and me to, bring
us together, leading us on to high
er ground through nature and
love.
The Easter program at 4 pm.
given by the Church school, THE
Cross of Life" was delightful to
hear and see. Well done by our
young people.
The Easter concert presented by
the combined choir of Zion Baptist
Church was wonderful and praise
was sung to the Risen King, under
the direction of Mr.. Willie B. Hale.
Next Sunday is Missionary Day
at Zion. Miss Jean Lee Luckey will
be the guest speaker at the s and
