Advocate Soys
Prey For Leaders
Of Government

The editor of The Missis-
sippi Methodist Advocate said
the citizens of q nation under
God have been issued 4 tre7
mendous spiritual challenge
since the assassination of the
leader of the Free World.
"A plea has been made by
religious leaders of the ma
ton that we strive to imple-
ment those virtues which
can bring in the Kingdom OF
God on earth,' The Advocate
pointed out.
s'In first Timothy, we are
exhorted to pray for all men,
especially for heads of gov
ernments and those in au-H
thority. During these critical
days when so much depends
on those in authority, the
least we can do is to assume
our responsibility OF invok-
ing Divine guidance on all
leaders in church and state so
that Gods will may be done
on earth as it is in heaven"
The Advocate concluded.

CandIeIieht Memorials Will Close Mourning Period

Sunday, December %, concludes
the formal thirty day national
mourning period for President John
Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Candlelight memorial services to
/ honor the late fallen leader will be
held throughout the nation.
In Washington, President Lyn-
don B. Johnson will speak at sun
down in a candlelight ceremony to
be held at the Lincoln Memorial and
telecast by MIC. Americans of all
faiths, creeds and races will attend
and participate. The first candle will
be lighted by a torch which will be
carried from the Kennedy grave in
Arlington across the Potomac to the
Lincoln Memorial. From the Memo
rial the flame will be passed from
hand to hand until all who attend
hold lighted candle.
Other great cities of the nation
from New York to California will
hold similar services.
Traditional respect for the presi-
dency of the United States and our
Christian heritage of sacred regard
for human life should compel every
community, church and school in
Mississippi to hold solemn memo
rial service to honor the late presi-
dent of the United States. Many
have done so. Some have not, either
through ignorance, unconcern or
other motives known best to them
and God.
Sunday, December %, would be
an appropriate time for memorials
in churches which have not yet held
them.
Al few DAYS following the assas-
sination of President Kennedy, we
expressed to a Jackson friend (not
a minister) our utter inability to
understand how and why such hor-
rible crime could take place in our

Paging Governor Johnson

Mississippi's Agricultural and
Industrial Board has issued an i'm
pressive statement on industrial de-
velopment in the state during the
past four years.
The administration of Governor
Ross Barnett proudly claims 538 new
or EXPANDED industries with 100000
new Jobs created and a capital in
vestment in excess of 1857 ,738, 900.
Manufacturing employment h S
reached an all-time high in the state
of $4,000, the report stated.
It was interesting to note the
A&I Board indicated in 1868 there
have been nine new industries and
six expansions in the state, each
representing an investment of 81
million or more. In addition there
have been many smaller plants.
The record of industrial expan-
sion. and growth is one of which all
Mississippians are proud = and we
congratulate Governor Barnett on
his record in this field = along with
thousands of other Mississippians
who helped achieve it.
Il
In order for Mississippi's econo-
mic growth and progress to con-
tinue we must be able to not only
attract outside industry and new
people in the future, but hold the
population we already have.
Particularly we are concerned,
and we have expressly said so for
many years, with the continuing loss
of our educated young people, those
who complete their education (Which
the state has provided at great ex-
pense) and then move elsewhere to
make their lives This is real prob
lem and so recognized by our incom-
ing governor.
We would like to see Mississippi
made such an attractive state that
everyone who lives here would want
to stay.
The only way this can be done
is to improve considerably the eli
mate of public opinion, instill into
the air of Mississippi not only
tolerance but a respect for and de-
votion to truth, honor, integrity =
dedication to freedom, individual
liberty and justice not for
privileged few, but for all people
who dwell within our state
This is problem that Governor
Johnson can do something about =
he will determine the atmosphere to
a great extent in our state for the
next four years.
What he does along this line
will be more important than any
