ST. PETERS AME

A large crowd was in attend
ance at the morning worship serv-
ice at st. Peters AME church.
The Youth Ushers under the
supervision of Mr.. Cliff Cunning
ham and Mrs. Lois Boudreau were
on duty. The Cantinoes with many
new faces appearing, added much
to the worship with their very ap-
propriate and harmonious music.
Mrs. Marlene Allen Is giving ex-
cellent leadership as directress if
this group assisted at the piano by
Mrs. Dolores Webb.
The message Of the morning was
given by the pastor, The Rev.
Lowell Johnson, and had as its
scriptural background James 4;
1-12. "What causes wars, and what
causes fights among you: Is it
not your passions that are at war
in your members - Draw near to
God, and he will draw near TO
you" The subject of the message
A Recipe For Peace" said he
Peace cannot be found outside of
you; you must first find it in your
own soul. Too many people have
been frustrated by looking for
peace in the wrong places. In order
to have peace in our hearts, we
must have spiritual compass, the
Bible; read it often"
The sacrament of baptism was
given to two infants;-Little Troy
Winston Brown, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Brown and Little
Robin Patricia Hickman, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Hickman
Of st. Paul.
The Cantinoes ait the Vesper
Hour gladdened our hearts with
their very beautiful and unique
program called "Requestfully
Yours. Many of their favorite
numbers were given as a result Of
requests. If yours, didn't happen
to be given, look forward to the
next time for they will have an
other one ait a later date. The
Youth Choir, under the direction
Of Mr.. Donald Johnson, was rep
resented by a duett-How Great
Thou Art, sung by the Misses Les
lie Harris, and Sharon Walker
Mrs. Flossie Taylor gave a reading,
subject-'Untitled."
The ACE. League met at s
pm. with Mr.. Paul Rathff as su-
pervisor. A reorganization of the
League Is in progress and parents
are asked to urge their teenagers
to be present that they might re-
ceive the benefit of this guidance
Plans are being made by the
youngsters for many interesting
activities during the late fall and
winter. Mr.. Ratltff was assisted
by Mrs. w. G. Maxwell.
Those who read the Morning
Tribune were probably delighted
as I was in reading the series Of
Articles being published by Mrs
Wright Brooks (former president
of the YWCA here and a member
of the National Board of the WV
and our Woman's Day speaker
this year,. She was a recent dele
gate TO the World Council YWCA

had blood streaming from their
faces from stones and flying glass
Robinson said he got some help
from a group of older Northside
Minneapolis youths who were in
the crowd, calming down the
crowd. He stated that none Of the
crowd accused the police Of bru-
tality but just the same they de-
fled the orders of the officers to
disperse.
He stated he thought part Of
the trouble was due to insufficient
recreational outlets for large num-
bers Of st. Paul youths. The most
belIgerent youngsters were those
of families of more recent settle
ment in the city, mostly from
southern communities whom he
and Frank Kent, former teen-age
worker at Halle Q. Brown felt
have unthinkingly transferred
their resentment Of treatment in
their home states to the whites In
Minnesota.
Robinson and Kent both think
the community must develop
larger and better organized
youth programs II future
trouble is to be averted.
After the big crowd faded away
Howard on the way back to his
home was attracted by another
crowd Of about % young men. He
stopped his car talked to two de-
tectves who were observing the
situation from across the street
Howard walked over to the
group and found two men prepar-
ing to fight and talked them into
moving along. He finally had to
shame the group by telling them
that many Of their elders were
working day and night to get them
equal opportunities and that their
conduct was multiplying every gain
the community leaders were seek
ing to make.
Neither Howard or Robinson
would furnish the names Of youths
in the crowd, many Of whom they
knew by name. The only inddvidu-
ais arrested were those who tried
to forcibly wrest those arrested
from the officers.
NAACP COmmends Chief and

Donish Families
Adopt Negro Children
Born In GermonV

Copenhagen, Denmark: In an
article recently published in a
magazine named Billet Bladet
which is published in Copenhagen,
Denmark a small European Coun-
try, the writer, Torben Busekist
gave the following remarks con-
corning placement of Negro chill
dren in homes in that country.
The article began with DO you
know Germany has a black con-
science? Do you know the black
conscience Is 5000 Mulatto chill
dren? Do you know that in orphan
homes in Germany, the children
have only a wish for a father, a
mother and a home?
A hospital inspector, K. B. Bot
foldt and his wife are doing some
thing about this situation. They
have adopted two Mulatto girls
named Monica and Elizabeth. One
wants to be a nurse and the other
a teacher. The girls love the friend
ly atmosphere and the warmth of
the people Of Denmark and have
found they are no different from
other children in Copenhagen. Both
girls have an ivory complexion
much to the envy Of their COM
panions.
Mrs. Lita Botfoldt is negotiating
with the German authorities to re-
lease more Of the children for she
has 200 persons who are interested
in adopting them.
One Of the adopted girls Is al
lowed to visit the family she lived
with for eight years in Germany
once a year.

dicted here that Negro civil rights
leaders will be replaced unless
there are more Victories"
He mentioned the Rev. Martin
Luther King and comedian Dick
Gregory as among those leaders
who may lose influence.
Baron also predicted that the
civil rights crisis will remain. for
10 or IL years and will even in
crease in intensity because "the
Negro in America has had a belly
full"
Query DR.. King
The Illustration over the appar-
ent civil rights stalemate was re-
flected at Howard University last
week when DR.. Martin Luther King
was called upon to defend his phil
osophy of non violence under at
tack by younger more impatient
leaders.
But the certainty Of DR.. King
in the "rightness" Of the nonviolent
method was not unanimously shar-
ed by top student leaders Of the
movement, who while using non
violent methods are disallusloned
by the lack Of widespread gains in
wping out jim crow.
SNICK Official Pessumistic
John Lewis, president Of the Stu
dent Non Violent Coordinating
Committee which has been spear
heading voting registration drives
throughout the South declared:
II don't know the future Of nom
violence in the South. I don't think
the Negro can determine its fu-
ture. Gov. Barnett and Gov. Wal
lace and the white power structure
win determine it's future"
Ezell Blair, a Howard university
law student who was one Of the
four A & T College students at
Greensboro (N.C.) who started the
sit-ins in February of 1860 ex-
claimed:
Negroes got freedom right
after the Civil War but jim crow
laws took it away. But this time"
said Blair, this movement Is not
going to stop"
Lewis and Blair were two of an
eight-member panel which includ-
ed Cambridge, Md. Leader Gloria
Richardson that discussed earlier
''the impact Of non-violence on the
individual and the community"
1t was Mrs. Richardson who pre-
dicted that If the current nom
violent methods were unsuccessful,
they would probably be intensified
to include direct civil diSobedience
A nonviolent instrument which
has only been hinted at up to now.
Newsman Robert Baker of the
Washington Post said in a recent
series entitled Racial Issue In
America, the following:

point clearly to the fact that white

They want to return to the

"'But Negroes win continue to

To Get Hotter
"As a white civil rights leader
put it: There are no early pros
