PILGRIM BAPTIST

FlLGh1M BAPTIST
Worship on the first Sabbath Of
the New Year was begun with the
Baptism Of Miss Frances J. Henry
by DR.. Floyd Massey, Jr. Scripture
lesson was read by Rev. Diggs.
The morning prayer offered by
Deacon L. Cunningham and the
offertory prayer by Trustee Bailey
Morris.
The message for the morning
service was entitled, what Does
the Church Want ?" The scripture
references were from John 6:6S
and Joshua 24:16. DR.. Floyd Mas
sey spoke on many points where
we as church members need to ex-
anime more thoroughly what we
really want from our churches. Do
we really want to be an up-to-date
church, have a vital and meaning
full program and administer to the
needs Of the people? Some men,
bers Of the congregation feel
church is a place to be entertained
They are looking for a spirited
not a spiritual service. Church is
where we are supposed to go and
glorify God.
DR.. Massey continued, asserting
that we need sincere and consec-
rated members to accomplish a
first class job for Christ. Emphasis
should be on the positive for a
Christian Church with a Christian
Philosophy. We must make a de-
cision as did Joshua-to choose
this day who you will serve. Time
is short and the job is big. We
must move forward and the great
majority of church members real
ize Jesus has the answer to eternal
life.
Prior to the sermon Mrs. Cora
Banks read the announcements
and notices. Music was furnished
by the Gospel Chorus, Choral
Group and Senior Choir. There was
conservation Of Church School
teachers by DR.. Massey.

Eve is on the Sparrow" was sung

income for white families before
taxes was $6,894, and the nom
white family total was $3,307.
Mrs. Paschall said: "Of all the
men in the Atlanta area working
In professional jobs, 95 percent are
white, although Of the total male
population only 7s percent are
white. or the women holding pro-
fessional jobs. SO percent are
white.
More than 90 percent Of the
managerial, clerical, and sales Jobs
are held by whites"
The usual comment Of business
men Is that they cannot afford tc
become a sociological outfit. Nc
matter how many members Of the
family are working. the total In
come cannot be adequate when
both are working at the lowest
paying jobs In the community
This seems to be basic economics .
Mrs. Paschal stated.
The Greater Atlanta Councils
report showed that while the At.
lanta metropolitan g counties)
population is 1,O17,1sS, 22.s per.
cent or 232, 2,169 represents the Ne
gro.
The figures further reveal that
the total population employed
workers in the following areas &C.
cording to race:
Professional - 95 percent white
S percent non-white; Managerial
90 percent white, 2 percent non-
white; Clerical - 80 percent white

percent white, so percent Negro
White citizens who profess to
be mystified by this years vastly
stepped up campaign on the part Of
Atlanta Negroes to secure a bet
ter economic break, principally by
attacking what the Negroes regard
as discriminatory EN- ploymen n
practices, may be enlightened by q
look at some depressing long-term
income trends.
1. The average income Of Negro
families increased by only 31.Se
per cent or $7S9, from $2,50s In
1850 to $3,307 in 1860.
2. The average income of white
families increased by 1922 pei
cent, or $2,274 from $4,620 in 1856
10 $6,6S4 IN 106O.
3. Average per capita Negro In
come increased by only 1885 pei
cent, or $193, from $500 In 1856
to $1,002 In 1860.
4. Average per capita white In
come increased by 44.4 per cent
or 1884. from $1,54o in 1850 tc
$2,224 In 1860.
Thus In terms Of average an,
nual family income, Atlanta Ne.
groes lost ground to Atlanta
whites during the decade Of the
city's most rapid growth.
At the same time, while con,
sumer prices In Atlanta were stag,
ing a 22.S per cent advance, Negro
per capita income here barely kept
up with the cost Of living inasmuct
as this income increased by only
1855 per cent. ....
From 1860 to 1860, according
to BIS, the heads Of white fam.
lilies In Atlanta maintained the
same average in number Of years
Of education-11.
Among local Negro families
however. the average number Of
years Of education Of heads OF
families declined from eight In
1850 to only six In 1860.
This Is explained at least in
part, according to some observers,
by the continued influx into the
Atlanta area Of Negroes from
