Fraser Humon
Rights Group
Met AUGUST I

-
The Volunteer Civil and Human
Rights Committee for Fraser
called an informal meeting at the
Fraser For Congress Headquart-
ers, 1887 Hennepin Av.. last We'd
nesday. Meeting with them were
the candidate, Donald Fraser and
his campaign manager. Norman
Sherman. The aim Of the gather
ing was to outline q positive sup
port program.
With chairman Margaret Benton
presiding the group drew up a pro-
gram aimed at the attraction of
voters in the district who, like
themselves, have q primary inter-
est in civil and human rights. It
called for extensive projection of
what they called ''the proper i'm
age" Of candidate Fraser. And it
provided for such things az ex-
tensive lawn sign coverage; coffee
parties, door-to door canvasses,
fund raising, and q mass meeting
with a noted civil rights personali-
ty as main speaker.
Many Of the 20 members present
at the meeting voiced confidence
that Frasers unwaivering position
on civil rights and other important
liberal issues would render him a
valuable addition to Minnesota's
congressional delegation.
The general atmosphere Of the
gathering was one Of both confid-
ence and determination.

ZION BAPTIST

ZION BAPTIST
Sunday, October IA, was Youth
Day at Zion Baptist Church. Our
pastor, Rev. ]. r. Holloway,
brought us the morning message
from the subject, Rooted in The
Love OF The Lord, using St.
Mark 4: 10 as a scrptural back
ground.
Rev. Holloway stated that some
of the scattered seeds fall among
the thorns, soon the thorns grow
up and choke the seeds. The same
applies in life. We see seed in life
falling among thorns and being
choked and men up and falling
upon the beaten path way. Some
people who did get a start and
felt that they have come to the
point their experiences and very
soon they would be yielding the
fruit, but the thorns of sin begin
to move right in and choke them
out and they never get a chance to
bring forth the fruit that was
sowed in good soil.
The minister continued by say
ing that life can be rough at times.
When the thorns are choking you,
remember that God in His love
can create favorable ground that
we may cast our roots and let
God take care Of the rest. God is
always able to step in and make
our fruit bearable and create the
soil and repair the seed even If
they are dried up. God can also
work in the body Of a soul, that
is being rooted out and living In
sin. When God takes possession Of
your life, greater things happen
and one who is rooted in the love
Of God is not afraid Of stony
ground and to become a victim
who never get a chance even when
they are sowed in stony ground.
In conclusion the pastor asked
What kind Of a seed are you?
Are you rooted this morning In
the Word Of God and sending your
roots down deep into the work Of
God??
Next Sunday, Oct. 21, is Laymen
Sunday. Charles johnson a re-
search engineer Of Minneapolis
Honeywell, will be guest speaker
for the day.

my energy" The council itself will
seek broadly to pave the way for
a possible reunion with separated
brethren" particularly the Eastern
Orthodox churches.
Three Other Outstanding Leaders
Although Cardinal Rugambwa
is the ranking Negro prelate at
the council and therefore is ex-
pected to be the most influential,
three others Of his hue are also ex-
pected to command a great deal
Of attention.
They are Archbishop Joseph
Kiwanuka Of Rubaga, which be-
came independent last week. He Is
the oldest African prelate attend
ing from the standpoint Of tenure;
Bishop Joseph oliver Bowers, Of
the Accra, Ghana diocese, a high
ly regarded spokesman and ad-
ministrator, and the youthful but
brilliant Archbishop Bernardin
Gantin Of Cotonou, Dahomey.
First Bishop In Modern Times
Archbishop Kiwanuka is the
first Negro bishop in modern
times. He was personally consec-
rated by the late Pope Plus XII
in May, 1899. At the time Of his
conservation, Pope Plus confronted
the then Bishop KiwanuIxa with a
great challenge. The Pontiff told
the bishop: MY son, in you I re-
store the African hierarchy inter-
rupted centuries ago by the in
vasions Of the Vandals and the
Mohammedians. You must work
strongly, because upon your sue
cess depends whether or not I will
create more African bishops"
Obviously, Bishop Kiwanuka has
done an outstanding job, for Pope
Plus and his successor, Pope John.
have appointed many more Afri-
can bishops.
Archbishop Gantin, who was ap-
pointed by Pope John in 1859
after only seven years Of priest
hood, is believed to represent a
refreshing, new leadership IN Afr1-
can ecclesiastical circles.
Young Archbishop
At the time Of his elevation to
the archbishopric, Gantin was just
81 and one Of the youngest arch
bishops in the entire Catholic
world.
Also attending the council, but
in non-voting capacities, are sew
eral other African clergymen who
are classified as special assistants
to the bishops and the council.
Among the "a Negro bishops
summoned to the council Is the
Most Rev. Remy Augustin, ausil-
iary bishop Of Port-au-Prince,
Haiti, the first native Haitian pre-
late. Bishop Augustin Is living In
exile In New York and shares q
problem Of persecution with sew
eral other prelates.
There Is more speculation that
at least one other high-ranlSing
Negro clergyman from the Wes-
tern Hemisphere win attend. He Is
Msgr. Gladstone Wilson Of the
newly independent state Of Jam
aica, in the West Indies. Msgr.
Wilson Is a highly qualified priest
and nnguist who reportedly speaks
some IL languages and dialects,
and 1t Is likely that his talents
win be utilized by the council.

5000 bishops from throughout th'
world who were summoned to tn,
council, "a were Of African descen
and literally categorized as Ne
groes.
Since all these bishops are as
signed to dioceses in Africa, only
q few Negroes in America arr
aware that so many black mer
hold high office in the Catholic
Church.
Yet the Negro bishops attending
the council are entrusted with the
spiritual care Of an estimated
three millions Catholics in dioceses
throughout the African continent
Most Of them are from the SO new
ly independent and emerging
states, and thus they bring to the
council special problems bordering
on economic, social, and racia!
matters.
Pope Exhibits Special Interest
OF special significance, also, Is
the fact that Pope John, who has
gone to great lengths in the past
In pointing out that there "are no
color bars In tho church." had per
sonally consecrated several Of the
African bishops. The Pontff ia
known to have a special interest
In the growth and development Of
the church in Africa. Therefore, II
is believed that the church's mis-
aonary work In Africa Is almost
certain to be stressed on the coun-
cil's agenda-
Elevated African To Cardinal
Perhaps the best indication Of
the Pope's interest In Africa Is
seen in his elevation in 1860 Of an
African prelate, Laurean Rugamb-
wa Of Tanganyika to the cardinal
ate, making him the first Negro
to attain such status In the church
IN recent years.
Cardinal Rugambwa, an easy
going soft-spoken, but scholarly
and prudent prelate, leads the AZ
rican delegation to the council. The
cardinal Is also serving on one Of
the important commissions Of the
council.
As members Of the church's hier-
archy who possess equal voting
and membership rights with other
ecclesiastics, the African prelates
are highly trained and keenly
aware of the role they are playing
in helping to shape the future Of
the church, a worldwide denomin-
alton Of more than 0,000, 900
members.
One thing Is certain. The role Of
the Negro bishops Is not restricted
In any way. In fact, they have no
special role to play in pointing up
certain problems Financial and
politically peculiar to Africa
Meanwhile, at least one African
prelate, the Most Rev. Halle
Maria, Cahsai, ttular bishop Of
Sozusa In Libya and ex-arch apos-
tolic Of Ethiopia, Is known to be
keenly interested in Christian uni
ty with the dissident Coptc
Church in his country. Shortly at
ter his conservation on May 1,
1861, Bishop Cahsai declared: ITO

was an effective presentation Of
all aspects Of the controversy In
behalf Of the majority position.
H. p. Red" Christensen Of the
Sixth Ward which has more liquor
outlets than any other ward be-
cause Of the patrol limits, told the
council he favored the granting Of
the license because he realized the
loss which the business community
surrounding Lake and Nicollet had
sustained. He pointed out that a
number Of jobs were also at stake
in favorable consideration of the
application. He said his vote would
be yes.
Alderman Gerald r. Nelson
of the Fourth Ward read a pre-
pared statement In which he told
of an exhaustive study Of the
situation and of the applicants.
He said he had finally came to
the conclusion he should support
tn application.
Alderman Robert P. James OF
the 18th Ward chairman Of the

objections which he said were
based on feeling that the license
would be a profitable monopoly.

ing would hurt chances Of removal

needed the establishment to stim-
ulate the business climate.
She vigorously pointed out that
since the place is in my ward,
she felt qualified to say whether
or not it was a worthy appHca-
ton. Mrs. Johnson pointed out
that a majority Of the people in
the neighborhood voting in the re-
cent referendum favored the re-
opening Of the store.
Alderman Robert MacGregor OF
the Second Ward reiterated his
opposition to the application be-
cause Of the monopoly issue. He
spoke only briefly because "all
know my opposition to the grant
ing Of this license"
Alderman Harmon Ogdahl, q
realtor Of tho 18th ward denied
that tho price paid for the build
ing In which the store Is located
was inflated or out Of line In q

The almost hour long debate
was occasioned by Alderman

both sides Of the controversy
should voice their opinions as to
why the license should or should
not be granted?
Voting for the license approval
on a roll-call vote were: Christen-
sen, Elsa johnson, Earl Johnson,

Voting against approval were:
