Cnrlstmas are over most people

and told OF what they had heard

ana the melody fingered on In
their hearts and carried the good
news TO others. When Jesus was
ABOUT twelve ne went to the tenn
pie IN Jerusalem and spent many
hours talking with the learned men
OF his day. They spent the time In
exploratory talking and looking at
Jesus and missed their chance to
become his followers. Jesus went
to Nazareth where he had been
brought up and went into the syn
agogue on the sabbath day and
stood up and read to the people.
They weren't impressed with any
thing he said and rejected him. In
some Of the places people were
looking for military leader which
he was not. All through his life
Jesus encountered people who saw
him with their eyes and head but
not with their hearts.

ity to raise the educational level
Of Negroes SO they may qualify
for the new jobs that become avail
able through "selective patronage"
or otherwise.
The final phase Of the program,
which is just under way on an ex-
perimental basis In Philadelphia,
Is the acquisition through small
savings clubs Of capital that will
be used to start enterprises such
as stores or garden apartment de-
velopments as examples Of inte-
grated operation.
The originators Of the program
here realized that its effect, would
depend on the ministers ability to
persuade their congregations on
mass basis to stop buying a given
product and to pass the word
among non-churchgoers as well.
This ability, in turn, would depend
on the high standing and moral
authority Of each minister with his
parishioners.
The originators believed that to
undermine the ministers authority
by making it appear that they
were taking orders from someone
else might be the programs undo
ing. So they decided there would
be no formal organization, no by
laws, no officers, no treasury, no
dues, no staff.
"Selecive patronage" insofar as
the congregation of a particular
church is concerned, can be in
voked only by its minister. In the
eyes of each congregation, its min
lister is the leader of the program.

so far in Philadelphia - Is led by
a different minister.

SO rar In Phllaoelpha - Is leo Dy
a different minister.
Besides reinforcing the authori-
ty Of each minister with his con-
gregation, this diffusion Of leader
ship has other advantages, the
originators Of the program say.
1t averts factionalism because
there is nothing there for anyone
to plot to seize. 1t develops leader.
ship. 1t enlarges the white com.
munity's idea of the leadership
available in the Negro community
Furthermore, because no one Is
out in front, it is virtually impos-
sible for reprisals to occur. It Is
also difficult, were anyone SC
minded, to know against whom OF
what to bring a legal action.
The program and its origins
were described in an interview by
the Rev. Leon H. Sullivan, pastor
of Zion Baptist Church of Phil.
adelphia, one Of the founders Of the
program, who will admit only tc
being "a servant Of the leaders"

ated by Martin Luther King as a
variation to q boycott. The differ
ence between the two Is more than
semantic.
A boycott has the negative ap-
proach of not doing business with
q commercial organization that
does not meet the groups APPROX
al. The more positive "selective
patronage" technique Is to do bus
iness with those who cooperate in
the achievement Of the groups
goals.
However, the result so far as the
non cooperative businessman Is
concerned is the same In either
case - loss Of business.
The plan was launched by a
group Of Negro clergymen. Their
goal is to build an informal ma
tional network to use the Ne
groes' purchasing power systemati-
cally to force concerns that dis
criminate in hiring and promotion
to mend their ways.
The "selective patronage" plan
is most highly developed here in
Philadelphia, where 1t has been
operating with remarkable results
for two years. 1t has already
spread to New York, where the
first boycott began three weeks
ago. to Chicago, Detroit, Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati and Wilmington
Del.
Participants have a n n o u n C e
that 1t will start soon In Atlanta
The ministers expect the idea tc
take hold in every major city with
a Negro population large enough
to make its economic power felt
A feature that distinguishes the
plan from earlier boycotts is thai
there is nothing hit-or-miss about
1t. The new concept of non-leader
ship advanced by the clergyment
seems to fit the needs Of the pro
gram.
The advocates Of the plan have
MT overlooked educational needs
They are encouraging voluntar,
