Northern Relief
Loads BIomed On
Dixie Educofion Lack

A magazine VIII publish IN iCs
June issue a report by the Miss
issippi Department Of Education
showing how minimum spending
on the education Of Negroes in
the South has resulted in the large
number of Negroes on relief in the
North.
The Sepia Magazine article will
reveal that the undereducation of
Negro children in the South makes
it difficult for Negroes who mi
CRATE North to continue their edu-
cation or to find employment. The
article, titled The Negro Exodus
from the South" states that many
of the LAST, 900 Negroes who left
the south between 1850 and 1860
are now on relief because Of "a
huge reservoir" of jobless Negroes
who have had inferior education in
segregated schools. by far the
largest number of relief recipients
do not have a high school educa-
tion," states the article.
The Mississippi Department Of
Education's report, cited by Sepia,
gives comparisons Of monetary
spending per each school child.
Specific counties mentioned were
Yazoo County, which spent $245-
IS for each white pupil and $2.92
for each Negro pupil; Holly Bluff
which spent $191.17 for each white,
and $1.2e for each Negro; and
jefferson County, which spent
$96.26 for each white pupil, and
$3.50 for each Negro. North Hip
pah County, in the northwest part
of the state, spent $S5.14 for each
white, and nothing for Negroes.
Another study conducted in
Mississippi last summer showed
that in 1s1 Negro schools, the
median sized class consisted Of
s6.6 pupils, according to the sepia
article.

ZION BAPTIST

Communion Sunday, May 6, 1862
was a very spiritual day at Zion
Baptist church. Our pastor, Rev.
j. r. Holloway, delivered the mes
sage, Under the Shadow of the
Almighty, using the 91st Psalms
as a scriptural background.
The minister stated, that if you
live under the shadow of God, He
will lead you from the snares of
life and make you feel secure. We
must abide under the shadow of
the Almighty. Because one who
lives under Gods shadow can ease
in and out and do anything he
wants to do. One must get under
the shadow Of God and remain
there.
There are some christians who
lust don't know how to live under
strain. When things get tough,
they just move from one place to
another and remain there while
things are good and when the
Glory is being steered. God doesn't
want that kind of Christian, He
wants someone who will stay on
the job when things are bad and
fight the battle and abide under
the shadow of the Almighty. If
you dwell in the Shadow of the
Almighty, God will give you the
security and abide with you in the
frictions of life when enemies
throw stones at you and put sticks
in your path. He will keep you
from stumbling over your spiritual
toes. When we abide under the
Shadow and God abides with us,
surely it becomes a job to live.
Church School each Sunday
morning at $50. Glasses for all.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at the morning wor-
ship hour at Pilgrim Baptist
Church, st. Paul heard DR.. Massey
preach from the subject mot Pres
ent". The minister took his text
from John 20:24.
Prior to the sermon the follow
ing were baptised: George Benja-
min, Percy Benjamin, Linda Clar-
dy, David Howard, Aaron Rine-
hart, Dwight Stampley, Theodore
Stampley, Jr., Zachary Stampley,
Linda Wiley and Lorraine Wiley.
DR.. Massey pointed out that it
was sad commentary when men,
bers absent themselves when it is
time for Kingdom building, yet
they are ever present for any
social, civic or personal function.
How like Thomas, who was ex-
pected to be present when Jesus
came to the Upper Room. He was
bitter and decided not to go and
missed the blessing of Jesus COM
ing.
The minister continued that
Thomas was not absent because of
indifference or because he had
found satisfaction elsewhere but
was absent because he had lost
hope; he believed that Jesus was
dead and would not be there.
DR.. Massey summed up what
Thomas missed: (1) He missed the
privilege of seeing Jesus. BY not
getting to see Him he missed a
glorious certainty of afterlife. (2)
He missed a gift of peace. Thomas
needed this gift for he was so
confused. 90 Lastly, Thomas mis-
sed a commission given by
Jesus to go out and carry the
gospel.
In conclusion, DIR. Massey told
the congregation that in spite of
Thomas's failure, he succeeded be-
cause, although doubter, he was
not proud of this. Thomas was
willing and reasonable in wanting
to make sure of Jesus - he went
to the right people . the diciple
to get the right information. This
is most important for it is easy
for us to get the wrong informa-
ton. Often we look to the wrong
source to help us rationalize our
thinking although we know we are
wrong.
Regis tered guests included:
Mesdames M. F. Hoffman, Wash

Our morning Devotion was led
by Charles Allen. Rev. Johnson
said that since to-day was a Spec
ial Day and the close of Region
~ Conference of the NAACP our
Benevolent Offering would be
given to strike another blow for
the cause of Freedom.
Before the message of the morn
ing we received Holy Communion.

secretary of the Chicago Branch
Of the NAACP was guest speaker.
His subject New Mind and the
New World, taken from Ist Cor
inthians 1851.
MANS mind is so distorted"
Rev. Johnson stated, that we have
lost the Christ. Greatness - Is a
misconception of achievement.
Very few today could qualify as a
Good Samaritan. We want to feel
important and have folks look up
to us. We have no sense of direc-
ton and have lost the real purpose
of our lives. We must realize that
our strength is not enough but
rather that we must have a change
in our hearts and love for our fel-
low man.
THE Church must be a moving
force and recognize the changes
and prepare its people. The church
is self-giving and must be wit
nesses for Christ. Faith comes
from experience and from within
ourselves. We must be strong
willed and serve God for he will
maintain u.s."
