statements about him.
1 last saw him not many days
ago when he stopped by my house,
as he frequently did, this time for
two reasons. First, he wanted to
show me pridefully his member
ship card in the NAACP which
had arrived after a long wait
and which was printed Mrs"
Alice Haywood. We both knew
why. Who in the New York office
would believe, with no title on the

We both had a good laugh over
this as we usually did about
something, when we got together.

MusIims
Discussed
In Post

In the January 26 issue of The
Saturday Evening Post there was
very informative and rather
startling article about the Black
Muslim movement in this country.
Elijah Muhammad, who has a
home on Violet Drive in Phoenix,
is said by the Post writer's to
have tremendous power over his
followers. The article states that
most Negro extremists can gather
together only a handful of fol-
lowers but that Elijah Muhammad
has spoken to audiences of at least
10000 Negroes in rallies of hate in
such cities as New York, Boston,
Washington, Detroit, Philadelphia
and Los Angeles.
The article in the Post was writ
ten by an interracial team, Alfred
Balk and Alex Haley who made a
very extensive study of the group.
They talked with civic leaders,
government officials, law enforce
ment officers, both white and
Negro, and investigated the move
ment from variety of angles.
They found that the Muslin
leaders are openly critical of both

HATE GROUP GROWS IN NARLZONA
New Church To
Be Dedicated

First Institutional Baptist Church
will dedicate its beautiful new
building at 1141 East Jefferson
Street Sunday, February IL.
The history of the First Colored
Baptist Church has been one of
growth, development and expan-
sion. It's record of accomplish
ments, its service to others, have
been an inspiration to its con-
gregation and a source of gratifi-
cation to those who have served
the church in an official capacity
The program of expansion re-
Gently announced is an appropri
ate testimonial to the small group
of eight individuals who founded
First Institutional Baptist
Church" in September of 1905.
The first home of the First Col
ored Baptist Church was located
on the premises of the Late Mrs.
Allen Smith, 81 East Madison ST.,
at which place the meetings were
held until the church erected
building on a new site acquired
on the corner of Fifth and Jeffer-
son Streets.
The present pastor and his wife,
Rev. and Mrs. A. G. Kendrick,
deserve a great deal of credit for
the near completion of this fine
edifice. The church had a $50, 600
indebtedness when Rev. Hendricks
became pastor, but the debt was
p31d off in two and one-half years.
Rev. and MRS. L. B. Nelson, for
mer pastor of First Institutional
Baptist Church were pastoring the
church when the first unit of the
building was completed, and
through their efforts the parsonage
was paid for.
Many active members of the
church have contributed to its
growth and can take some of the
credit for the tremendous goal
which is about to be reached, the
completion of one of the finest
church buildings in this area. A
few of the many members that
might be mentioned are j. S.
Jones of Sun Valley Insurance Co.,
Harry E. Crawford, Jr., president
of the usher board, Cheryl Weed
en-. president of the youth choir,
James Davis, and many others too
numerous to mention.
