THE GRACE OF GOD

In the Bible, the grace Of Of God
is His loving favor toward fallen
man. st. Paul has more to say
about grace than any other Bible
writer, opening every one Of his
epistles with the declaration:
GRACE BE UNTO YOU AND
PEACE"
Little wonder, for he himself
was Gods greatest demonstration
Of salvation by grace. In Tim.
1:13, IA, he says: "(1) was before
a blasphemer, and a prosecutor,
and injurious; but I obtained mercy
and THE GRACE OF OUR
LORD WAS EXCEEDING ABUN-
DANT :"
After years Of service and suf-
fering for Christ, he declared: But
none Of these things move me,
neither count I my life dear unto
myself, so that I might finish my
course with joy, and the ministry
which I have received Of the Lord
Jesus, to testify THE GOSPEL
GOOD NEWS) OF THE GRACE
OF GOD" (Acts 20:24).
Salvation is wholly by Gods
grace, not partly by mans works,
for in Rom. 11:6 we read: "a.
IF TT BE GRACE, THEN TT Is
NO MORE OF WORKS: OTHER
WISE GRACE IS NO MORE
GRACE" And in Rom. 4:4, 8:
". TO HIM THAT WoRKETH
IS THE REWARD NOT RECK-
ONED OF GRACE, BUT OF
DEBT, BUT TO HIM THAT
WoRKETH NOT, BUT BELIEv-
ETH ON HIM THAT JUSTFT-
ETH THE NGODLY, HIS
FAITH IS COUNTED FOR
RIGHTEOUSNESS" Thus saliva
ton is mot of works" but unto
good works" (Eph. 2:s-10). Good
works Is the fruit, not the root.
"All have sinned" (Rom. 3:23)
but thank God, all may be Jus
TIFIED FREELY BY HIS
GRACE, THROUGH THE RE
DEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST
JESUS" (Rom. 3:24).
Thus it is Gods purpose that In
the ages to come He might show
THE EXCEEDING RICHES OF
HIS GRACE in His kindness to-
ward us through Christ Jesus"

Episcopal Bishop
Gusts Man For
Anfi-Neqro Remarks

Trenton, M. (ANP) - A man
who tried to indoctrinate his
daughter by making derogatory re-
marks about Negroes before a
church congregation was orsted
from membership by his bishop
last week.
According to the Rt. Rev. Alfred
L. Banyard, Episcopal bishop Of
New Jersey, who issued the custer
order, James Wood Jr., Of Berlin,
N, J., brought his daughter to the
Church Of the Good Shepherd in
Berlin for confirmation instruction
on Feb. 8.
The father then instructed his
daughter to have nothing TO do
with any Negro who might attend;
to walk away from any Negro who
spoke 10 her; and to change her
place II any Negro sat alongside
her." the bishop said
He noted that the incident oc-

education to what a high school
graduate should do If he or she is
not college material were through
ly discussed.
"One Of the basic stepping stones
to higher education is learning to
read and write" said Miss Young,
technical editor for a local firm.
TOO few people really know how
to read and write effectively" The
lack of Negroes using the library
is quite evident according to Mrs,
Rosale H. Mitchell, a librarian
"The scarcity of Negroes seen in
Minneapolis libraries is most ap-
palling. Reading is our fifth free
dom, we must read more" she
said.
Although the outside heat wave
was soon to be more evident, it
was undoubtedly something to be
desired by the high school youth.
It was a general consensus by
counselors that most students
know what profession they want
to pursue in later life. And the
question period revealed a II know
what I want, let's have the re-
freshments and go attitudew But
careers continued to be explored.

learning for nearly five years.

Of scholarships" Miss Hughes who
is a law student at the University
Of Minnesota has continued to be
an honor student throughout her
college career.
Oscar Howard, a local business
man, said that there is a great
need for trained service workers.
"a college degree isn't a must, but
I will certainly recommend and
hire persons with the highest quail
ifications if the need were to
arise" he said.
Cartrell Cooper, a carpenter and
counselor during off-season months

about physical appearance. TOO

Cooper, ARE marks that hinder a

writer; Luther T. Prince, Jr., en-

pastor, was a significant t1rSt step
in motivating youth to aspire for
greater accomplishments.
Because Of the increasing COM
pleSdty Of mans existence, we all
must do our part in counseling and
recommending that all students
stay in school salvation for all
humanity is greatly enhanced by
education"
The "sprinltling" of students
present were mostly from families
with intense interest in education.
THE majority of the youth that
we would like to have had present
were probably at the beaches" ="
said Mr.. Johnson.
But the clinic, however, was not
only for high school students; 1t
was for parents and community
leaders as well. Ironically, both
parents and students were credited
for having instituted the career
clinic idea.
The Youth Directors Cabinet
youth Of st. Peters), Everett
johnson and F. c. Cunningham,
president and treasurer, respec-
lively; and Mrs. w. G. Maxwell, a
community leader, were largely
responsible for the intricate details
of the clinic.
The need for such clinics was
recognized by Mr.. johnson as he
congratulated the adult group for
their keen interest and enthusiasm
exhibited toward goals Of higher
education. THE student must be
willing to learn" a parent en-
phatically remarked later. "And
we as parents must encourage
their educational undertakings"
The point in case was illustrated
by a 30-minute film, Morning for
Jimmy" The film, property Of the
Minneapolis Urban League and
shown through the courtesy of
Ashby Gasl1ins, pointed out the
fallacies Of a parents bitter re-
sentiment toward education.
After the film the students had
a choice of six fields in which they
could receive counseling. The diff
ferent fields and counselors were
as follows: physical science, Jay
w. Tyson; education, Elmira
Young; law and government, Joyce
Hughes; christian science, the Rev.
James R. Holloway; personnel
management, William Douthit;
social science, Robert L. Williams,
and the adults were counseled by
Gaskins.
Apparently after 45 minutes Of
individual group counseling, stu
dents became exasperated with
their own questions. And as the
final segment Of the clinic drew
near, they listened as a panel Of
experts and counselors told Of
their jobs and gave suggestions on
how to prepare for a vocation.
Suggestions ranging from par

we may drift into de facto school
segregation, educational and train
ing opportunities are not sufficient
for many Of our young people, and
the new state fair housing law
still requires effective implementa-

matter Of the highest priority that
we translate into reality our Oft
repeated assurances and promises
Of full equality and that we ener-
gize fully all Of our community's
resources for the achievement Of
that goal.
One indispensable step Is the
strengthening of the Mayors Com
mission on Human Relations. This
agency, which has served since
1947 as an unofficial basis must
now be given financial support and
adequate personnel that will en-
able it to take the lead in mobiliz-
ing the community for genuinely
effective program. a program that
will constructively involve all seq
ments of the community - EN-
ployers, labor unions, real estate
dealers, our teachers at all levels,
our religious and professional lead
ers - in short, the entire COM
munity.
"A strengthened Mayors Com
mission will seek to enlarge the
effectiveness Of the many existing
organizations in the human rights
field and to alert and prepare the
community for prompt and effec-
tive action on this critical front.
Our goal must be a community
in which discrimination and intol-
erance have been banished - a
goal we can achieve If we move
promptly and with determination.
However one may view the mean
ing Of the deeply deplorable re-
cent events, I believe that our
community basically is prepared
to develop a pattern Of community
behavior that accords equal and
fair treatment for everyone.
"At an early date I win set
before the City Council q spec
ific request In behalf of the
Mayors Commission ON Human
Relations, and, as It's intensified
program proceeds I will want to
review It with you and perhaps
seek further support for other
specific needs In this all-import-
ant area
Tn our efforts to improve hui
man relations we must have re-
sponsible and intelligent support in
all quarters. There Is no room for
irresponsibility, for reclSlessness,
for inflammatory statements or
deliberately provocative acts. We
will enforce our laws without dis
elimination, without favoritism
and without fear. We will demand
from everyone full respect for the
law and for the officers Of our
government and we will take all

that the integrity and effective

However, one Negro civil rights
leader in Louisville attacked the
order as a hoax"
Gov. Combs has been under
pressure to sponsor a civil rights
bill in the current, expiring session
of the Kentucky Legislature. How
ever, in issuing the executive order,
Combs said he was convinced,
after comforting with assembly
leaders, that rights bill could not
get through the legislature this
session.
Combs said he himself believes
the order makes It easier for
Negroes to seek redress among
the state agencies than would be
the case through long litigation
In the courts.
Despite Bishop fuckers critic
ism, the order was reported tc
have the support of most Negroes
in Louisville. Among those who
praised 1t were Lyman T. Johnson
president Of the Louisville NAA.
CP, and Harry McAlpin, an. at

Johnson said "the order goes q
long way in allaying the apprehen.
sions Of the minority" He ex.
pressed the hope, however, that the
Kentucky Legislature will enact
any additional necessary legisla.
ton"
McAlpin said Combs order could
be even more effective than legis-
lation.
Support for the order also came
from Louisville's Mayor William
o. Cowger and some businessmen
However, the opening shot Of a
possible long court fight was fired
by Jack M. Lowery, Jr., attorney
of the Louisville Tavern Oper-
ators Association, who challenged
the constitutionality Of the order.
But Gov. Combs, who had
consulted with Burke Marshall,
the Justice Departments civil
rights chief, before issuing the
order, was said to be confident
that the court would uphold his
action.
The governors executive order
follows another issued by him
earlier this year forbidding dis
elimination in employment by
state contractors and sub-contrac-
tors. In 1850. he pushed a law
through the legislature banning
discrimination In the states merit
system for employees.
Gov. Rhodes order also met
with favorable response from Ne
groes and civil rights leaders.
There was no immediate major
opposition from business sources.
No court fight was Immediately
threatened.
The order was prefaced by these
remarks:
"As Governor Of Ohio, I cannot
help being mindful Of the challenge
for intelligent action the present
racial unrest puts upon every pub
lie official.
The patience Of (the Negro)
people, denied many of their Con-
stituhonal rights for over a hund-
red years, has been boundless.
Their impadence now Is under
standable.
THE result Of continued inaction
by government Is causing respon-
sible leadership to be threatened
Therefore, recognizing the ur-
gent need for intelligent action
now, as Governor Of Ohio, I am
issuing a comprehensive proclama-
ton, embracing an Executive
Code Of Fair Practices"
The orders Of Cows. Combs and
Rhodes both provide for remedial
action through the Kentucky state
agencies and the Ohio Civil Rights
