PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Sunday
May 13 heard DR.. Massey deliver
his annual Mothers Day sermon.
The minister chose as his subject
"A Mothers Task. The text was
found in Luke 4: 1926. DR.. Mas
sey pointed out in the beginning
that it was obvious from text, we
had a window to discuss. The name
of the woman is unknown and she
had no social status. The only
thing we do know is that she was
wise enough to know the day of
visitation.
DR.. Massey gave three reasons
why God sent Elijah to the home
of the widow. ~ In language that
is common today, Elijah was hot"
and was wanted by authorities.
(2) Doors were shut in his face
because of hard times" - there
was a depression in the land. The
minister told the worshippers that
often we can judge the character
of a man by what he gives up
when times are tight. 90 Be

minister continued that the people
were to close to Jesus to under
stand Him. The widow was chosen
because she was willing to receive
Gods Prophet. There were three
Outstanding characteristics noted
in this widow. ~ She was kind,
even in the face of starvation
: (2) She was a woman of insight
she was wise enough to know
the day of her opportunity. And
thirdly, she was woman of great
faith.
In conclusion DR.. Massey told
the worshippers to put God first
and watch the consequences. You
will be amazed!

Mothers On Parade was the
theme for the Sunday morning
service. The devotions were led by
Rev. Lowell Johnson assisted by
Evangelist Florence Daniels and
Brother Charles Allen. The scrip
ture lesson being from Proverbs

The Cantinos under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Marlene Allen with
Mrs. Dolores at the Piano sang
from the, depths of their hearts.

Power Of The Lord Come Down"

Howe. Just before the morning
message His Grace Is Sufficient
For Me" with the solo by Mr..
Donald Johnson.
st. John 2:1 was the Scripture
for the message Mothers on Par
ade". Rev. Johnson said that no
longer is Mothers Day expressed
in sorrowfulness but a day of
great joy. Mothers are a guidance
for living, for Mother is always
there. He referred not only to
women who had borne children
but to women that have done the
will of my Father. They are al
ways crusading for something
good. Many have been self sacrifice
ing and have been mother to foster
children. Throughout all the ages
mothers in all races have exerted
a great influence on all circumstan-
ces. They have taken the initiative
in the Right to Vote, desegregation
the Temperance movement, good
government.
Rev. Johnson stated that "all
that he is and hopes to be" he
owes to his mother. Mother who
has served her God and has shown
kindness and thoughtfulness to
others. Mothers are a mirror for
others to pattern. A poem by Rud-
yard Kipling Mother OF Mine"
was dedicated to all Mothers. At
the close of the service a little
card of poetry was given each
mother.

with the Cantinos" was a most en-
joyable one. Guest Artists appear
ing on their program was Mrs.
Ermine Hall Allen accompanied by
Mrs. Dorothy Sims. The Cantinos
under the direction of Mrs. Marlene
Allen rendered a spiritual program
which lifted our souls to the high
est pinnacle. Mrs. Dolores Webb is
pianist for the Cantinos and we
were happy to see Miss Barbara
Greene at the piano during one of
the selections.
Next Sunday is Women's Day.
Our speaker will be Mrs. Lowell
Johnson, wife of our pastor.
We extend our sympathy to Mrs.
Christine Carr in the loss of her

We saw many ducks flying over

bird with a very weird call heard
in the evening and early morning.
The call seems to echo from the
hills giving you the feeling you're
surrounded by the Looms.
Fishing wasn't as good as 1t

Bishop Reed told the convention
of the Catholic Daughters OF
America here that Archbishop
Rummel is Standing up for what
he knows is right" The Louisiana
prelate has announced school in
tegration in his archdiocese by
next September.
"At the cost of personal peace,
at the cost of personal abuse, at
the cost, perhaps, of political
prestige, he has stood up for
what he knows is right"
Bishop Reed told his listeners
that he, himself, had been reared
in a segregated society.
There were no Negroes in the
schools attended" he said, nor
was I ever associated with them
at social affairs or in local travel.
Hence, do recognize the reah-
ty of the difficulties faced by those
persons where long-prevailing GUS
tom is at loggerheads with law
and principle.
Il strongly feel, however, that
the difficulties of the local situa-
ton must give way to the greater
difficulties involved on a national
and international scale by a con-
trary or do-nothing policy"
When the honor and leader
ship Of the United States or the
Christian social character of the
church Is at stake, Bishop Reed
declared, a policy of silence Is
indefensible.
Some might object that the
church has waited before, some
times for centuries, to correct
abuses, and so has our country. l
reply that never before could such
delay cause the damage that can
be caused today, when all the
world knows the news in a few
hours.
Our country today is the world
leader. Her failure affects others
than herself. No one here is una
ware that her public image is be-
ing maliciously distorted by her
enemies as a result of racial seq
regation difficulties. The common
good of our national society seems
to me at stake. Therefore the
United States cannot afford to
wait long on this issue.
THE church cannot afford to
wait either. With secularism
trying to seize leadership and
seeking to interpret life on every
side, the church cannot delay.
Her mission in the world Is not
to follow, but to lead. For this
responsibility, she possesses both
the power and the authority. !"
THE segregation problem has
been a worry to many social
thinkers among our countrymen.
All realized that the problem must
some day be squareIy faced. That
day has dawned."

Thirty States Have No Literancy
Requirements
Nor am I impressed with the
argument that this bill will de-
mean the value of the vote or ad-
versely affect the quality of Gov
eminent in the United States. 1
would even venture to say that
there may be illiterate persons in
this nation better able to judge
candidates and the issues than
some who have mastered the arts
of reading and writing.
In fact, there are 80 States in
this nation-my own among them
do not require nteracy at
all as a prerequisite for voting,
and I would be hard put to say
that these States are not as wise
ly governed as the 20 which do
impose literacy requirements. The
M ansfield-Dirksen bill does not
abolish Hteracy as a requirement.
1t merely states that any person
who has completed six primary
grades in public school or in an
accredited private school cannot
reasonably be denied the right to
vote on the grounds of illiteracy or
lack of sufficient education. And I
find that a perfectly reasonable
factual basis on which to legislate.
Only A Small Stop
"Mr. President, let us keep this
legislation in perspective. 1t is
only a small step toward assuring
A orleans their constitutional
rights. 1t will not be of any direct
help to the millions of Negro chill
dren who are being denied their
constitutional rights by being kept
in segregated schools. 1t will not
help the millions of non-white
Americans who cannot buy or rent
a home on the same terms as
whites. 1t will not break down the
barriers of discrimination in en-
ployment which keep so many
Americans in impoverished circum-
stances.
"All the Mansfield-Dirksen bill
will do is to take a useful and
effective step toward assuring all
the right to vote. This
is a promise we made to ourselves
almost 100 years ago. Let us take
a step to keep this promise today"

on both sides OF this issue has
now much of our rhetoric may be
forgotten, but there are certain
things that I will find hard to
forget.
Il will find it hard to blot out
of my mind the image of the Ne
gro citizen with a graduate degree
who had to copy page after page
of a State constitution on five
separate occasions only to be re-
jected each time because she ON
tilted a word or some of the pune
tuations.
II will not forget the case of
the Negro applicant who failed to
explain due process of law" to
the satisfaction of a registrar who
not only had no legal training,
but who had less formal education
than many of the applicants.
II know that 1 will remember
the Negro applicant who was re-
jected for misspellings by regis
trar who misspelled the word mis-
spellings.
These are a few of the human
situations embodied in the At
torney Generals testimony before
the Senate Subcommittee on Con-
sdtutional Rights that there are
16 counties in which Negroes of
voting age are the majority but
where no Negro Is registered to
vote, and 40 other counties in
which Negroes are the majority
and less than 5 per cent Of these
eligible are registered.
Just Few OF Injustices
These are a few of the in
justices behind the Civil Rights
Commissions dry statistics that
there are 129 counties in 10 States
where less than 10 per cent Of the
eligible Negro citizens are regis
tered.
$50 it seems to me, Mr.. Presi-
dent, that there can be no real
argument about the need for legis-
lation- That much is conceded. You
don't have to have a situation in
which citizens in all of the coun-
ties or in half or even in one third
of the counties are being denied
their rights in order to have a need
for legislation. We pass bills here
to remedy wrongs against a single
person and wrongs which are much
less fundamental than the denial
Of a persons right to choose his
own government.
Have Read 18th Amendment
Now, Mr.. President, I am not
a lawyer so I cannot enter the
scholarly debate about the con-
stitutionality of this bill on the
same terms as some of my dis
tinguished colleagues. But have
read the words of the 18th Amend
ment that the right Of cit
liens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by
the United States or by any State
on account of race, color, or previ-
GUS condition of servitude;" and
that Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropr1-
ate legislation" This legislation
does not impair the power Of
States to impose Hteracy require
ments, but merely substitutes an
objective standard for loose rules
which have been discriminatory
applied. If this is not appropriate
then I am not sure
how the 18th Amendment can be
enforced. And might
add that have some pretty fair
