Service of Holy Communion
last Sunday was opened with
Hymn No. 418 How great the wis
dom, power and Grace. Rev. Noah
Smith was in chage Of the OPEN
ing part Of the worship. He also
made the appeal for the Benevolent
Offering. Brother Charles Allen
Gave the General Prayer and Led
in reading the responsive Scrip
ture. Special Music was provided
by our Senior Choir with Mrs.
Dorothy Sims directing. Solo parts
of various numbers were done by
Mrs. Sims and Mrs. Rose Marie
Cook. The choir music was very
melodious and heartwarming The
Communion Message was deliv-
cred by Pastor Lowell johnson.
His subject was Gods Care.
His text was I Peter 5:7, Casting
all your care upon Him for He
careth for you" The message was
delivered with great enthusiasm
and spiritual fIrvor ran high. Sew
eral persons voluntarily came to
the altar without being asked.
There they prayed and returned to
their seats.
In his message Rev. johnson en-
phasized that In spite of the many
tragic experiences which befall us
from time to time we can be sure
that God Cares for us. In the first
instance He made this marvellous
world and then gave man domin-
ion over 1t. In the second instance
He sent His only begotten son into
the world to redeem man from
eternal death. If God had not cared
for man He most certainly would
not have done just these two
things. These two are sufficient
proof to the Christian that God
does care.
In addition to these God pro-
vides for our basic needs daily.
Both through nature and people he
supplies our needs. In gratitude to
God for all his benefits Pastor
Johnson suggested that in the
words Of the Psalnist in Psalms

MINISTERS RAP LENIENcY
FOR COP WHO BEAT
MANAcLED TOLEDO PRISON

Toledo, Ohio (ANP) - Protests
were registered with city officials
last week over what they consid-
cred a lenient penalty imposed or
a white patrolman accused In the
brutal beating Of 32-year-old hand
cuffed prisoner.
After the 30-day suspension
against Patrolman George Greg
ory, a jailer, was announced, Rev.
Allen L. Roach, president Of the
Interdenominational Minis ri al
Alliance, criticized 1t as being
wholly inadequate in view Of the
gravity Of the offense.
The clerical group issued a state
ment saying that its representa-
tives would confer with city offic-
ials in an attempt to work out a
possible solution to the problem
involved in the decision.
The patrolman had been accused
Of beating Ross Smith with a
blackjack, hurting him against a
steel door and kicking and stomp
ing him while he was manacled
and being booked in the city Jail.
The ministerial group had sent a
letter to city officials saying that
the officer and three others VINO
witnessed the incident should be
ousted from the force. They also
called for 24-hours integration OF
Negro police personnel.
Coincident or not, Police Chief
Anthony Bosch announced that
Patrolman Melvyn Young would
become a jailer and Patrolman
Marvin Reams a mobile traffic
officer, both unprecedented duties
for Negroes.

Percy Greene Now
Founf Of Wisdom
For Miss. Daily

jackson, MISS. (ANP) - Edl-
tor Percy Greene, dubbed (Turn-
coat) by young Negro militants
here, has become a fount of wis
dom for the inflammatory Jackson
Daily News.
Last week, Greene, who though
Negro himself used the word
"nigger' during an interview with
two Washington newsmen, advo-
Gated that Negroes not desert
their good white friends Of long
standing for President Kennedy
who is only a temporary inhabi-
tant of the White House.
This so pleased ardent segrega-
ZIONIST editor James M. Ward of
the Daily News, that he developed
an editorial around Greene's gem
of wisdom.
Greene, once a staunch support

leaving a job with the Veterans
Administration in Was h in e. o n
have been in the employ Of the
State Sovereignty commission, a
state agency set up to maintain
racial segregation in Mississippi.
The quote from Greene used in
the Daily News editorial is as fol-
lows:
Having some knowledge Of pol
itics and politicians, particularly
in regard to the extent to which
some politicians will go to main
tain themselves in power as a
Negro we would warn our own
people here in Mississippi Of the
transient nature Of the President
of the United States. Since it Is
not possible to predict at all times
what his successor will be like, we
should be careful not to abandon
the friendships made through the
years with our white neighbors,
because of the glamour and preach

The memorandum called for pas

bill even stronger, if possible, than
the Presidents proposal. This, it
said, would mean less damage from
ANY dilution by the Senate"
First pressure, the memorandum
said, should be on Republicans in

Eight members of the House Rules

preached to force a meeting of

Only five Northern Democrats

Bishop Orders All
Cotholic Schools In
SoVonnoh Infeqrofed

Savannah, Ga. (ANP) - Eff
fective Sept. 1, all Catholic schools
in Savannah will be integrated by
order Of Bishop Thomas ]. Nc
Donough.
Bishop McDonough's decision to
integrate the schools, including
grade and high schools, was an
nounced in a pastoral letter read
at all Masses in Catholic churches
in the diocese last week.
1t was reported that Bishop Nc
Donough has the unanimous sup
port of his priests and teachers In
the action. 1t was disclosed that
during the last three months the
bishop has met with priests and
teachers in the three deaneries
of the diocese to discuss school
desegregation. They unanimously
concurred with my decision" he
said.
The bishop said he expected his
parishioners to accept the decision.
Asked about possible adverse reac-
ton, he said:
"Of course there will be some
who will protest and perhaps some
who will withdraw their children
from our schools but am confid-
ent that most will receive this de-
cision in good grace, knowing that
discrimination against any person
solely on the basis Of his race or
skin color is not in accordance
with the charity Of. Christ and
amounts to a denial of unity of
mankind as the children of God
and descendants of the same first
parents am sure the vast
majority Of them will respond with
true charity"
Meanwhile, the Chatham County
public schools are under a federal
court order to integrate at least
one grade during the next school
year. The board Of education has
until July to file an implementa-
ton plan with the court.
The president of the local school
board, DR.. Darnell Brawner, de-
clined to comment on Bishop Nc
Donough's announcement.

"If thou knewest the gift of

yourselves; it is The Gift Of God;
not of works, lest any man should

st. Paul, referring to his COM
mission to proclaim the gospel,
called it THE Gift OF The Grace
Of God" (Eph. 3:7) and constant

But A Gift Is Not Possessed
Until It Is Accepted. Thus the
Apostle, in Rom. 5:17, speaks of
those who Receive the abundance

could know this?).
What is at issue, however, be-
hind Congress attempts to protect
Mrs. Murphy" is the preservation
of the Free" segregated way of
life for hundreds of 'httle" bus
inesses throughout the land who
want to escape integration.
Those seeking to protect Mrs.
Murphy" are also seeking to pro-
tect the 'little" stores, the little
barbershops, the "ittle" theaters,
the 'little" hotels, the little
motels, and all the little" bigots
in every nook and Granny of this
land.
just from tOday's hearings, it
is obvious that the Kennedy
equal accommodation provisions
are already in Congressional hot
water.
The Administration wants to
push this part of the civil rights
package through the Commerce
Committee of the Senate, because
it feels that businesses engaging
in interstate commerce can be
more easily regulated through ex-
listing commerce commission reg
ulatioss.
From today's hearings, it ap-
pears that Congress wants to set
limits on which businesses will
actually be effected, preferring the
obvious and large ones. Kennedy
agreed that perhaps something
could be worked out"
But it seems reasonable that If
a big department store sells Fitch
shampoo" and thus can be regul-
ated because the shampoo is an
out-of-state product shipped inter
state, little" barbershop can be
equally regulated because its
Fitch shampoo" is an out-of-
state product too.
No one can safely predict now
just where the Kennedy Admin
istratiOn civil rights package Is
going-althOugh there are some
pretty obvious and Ominous
signs.
But one thing seems pretty GER
tain. If Mrs. Murphy" is allowed
to get away, in time, she will
probably become the single, larg-
est, richest and most jim crow
entrepreneur in the history of
America.
Negroes will probably find that
Mrs. Murphy owns all the ma
tons little" rooming houses -
and lives there; all the little"
barbershops and lives in the
rear; all the "nttle" department
stores and lives in the base
ment; all the ''Httle" theaters-
and quarters herself in the camera
loft and all the little" hotels and
motels - and in each one keeps a
private abode.
Somewhere during the hearing,
to the roar of the jammed hearing
room Bobby Kennedy said: think
Mrs. Murphy is going to be in
trouble.
Bobby Kennedy could never
have been more correct.

$500, 900 Already Raised
Young said that the funds would
be divided according to needs at q
given time. More than $500, 900 has
already been raised, he said.
