There is another aspect of. this situation that should give our group deep concern. On prec is. illy every college campus the female stu dents arc found to greatly outnumber the i: , .s. This is in a large degree caused by the misdirected thinking that it is more impor • ;nt tor girls to get an education than it is for boys. In many instances where there are borh boys and girls in the family an agree !>u iif is reached whereby the boys will finish to school and get jobs in order to help t tun the ir sisters’ college educations. In a lot t case.s. the family decides to allow the boy? to quit lugh school even before, their senior v. r n order to work to earn money to help ay for the. education of the girls T - a safe assumption that in many of b ■ .-.«=• brother-help-finance-sister cases it is the brother who has the higher I.Q. and the best achievement, record. The perpetuation of this idea not only means that society and more n- - ?: • ularly our group is losing the contr»bu ■ i these boys could make were they per p- :hd to reach their educational potentials. There is another aspect of this situation equal roi more alarming. The Negro family is beconi-.ng more and more unbalanced because of ib.... faulty thinking. The greater percentage of these girls go into teaching after finishing ■■'>ll; y. and eventually they begin to look around for husbands. TV.-mise of a system of which they find •’-.cm."-elves innocent victims, the majority of •-oilege bred girls must marry men with limbed education and equally limited in* > abilities This, of course means that the wiv-r, become the heads of the homes because if ir- they who earn the greater proportion of •hr income that, supports the family We have i--o rr.s-.-on to minimize the intellignce or the .-.inabilities of women, but a race, if it is to vive and go forward needs and must have mu!* ladership. This is all the more true of the Negro race that has had to battle and wilt ■ onpnue to have to battle for every opportun and advantage it has achieved or hopes Even before the research experts finish their tanks and come, forth with their conclusions, - have got to find away to see that our prom - "me youth, espcially our boys finish both high school and college Our racial future de pends largely upon this very thing. that everything connected with this evasive get w=»s directed solely at the circumvention of the 1954 decision. i i is our further comment, that nothing was hidden concerning the reasoning behind the eviiy.conceived subterfuge, nothing that the. V S Supreme Court or any other could not have known about. We were of the opinion that when the court ordered school integration and asked that it be done “with all deliberate ■meed and good faith compliance” it meant i l! 'U that. Further, it was our opinion that this aider ol the court was direetd at th states and their administrative bodies. Now after the court's ruling in the. Old Fort Case, we hardly know what to think We have to admit that our opinions have been sadly up-.rt and that our faith has been badly shaken. Our interpretation of this order is that in 'dead of the states and their administrative officers having to carry out the school integra tor order, each Negro child must hear the buvdt n of desegregation. Even though it is p. .-frrt.lv obvious to all and sundry that this N 0 Pupil Assignment Act is purely an act • ( purposeful evasion, the court will not re cognire it as such, but instead, demands that each Negro child go through all the entangle ments r,| this act and be the instrument of school integration thereby relieving the states aiyunst whom the order was written of that tesponsibility. This decision, compelling each Negro child to accept this heavy responsibility f achieving what the court has already order ed the. states to do is so far removed from our n, intreoretat’on of th* decision that we wnnd*r how we could ever have gotten so far out nf line. strong inyway with great odds against us try ire; at least to do the impossible.

HAMILTON T BOSWELL AN F ASTER MEDITATION There have been many *■ vents of tremendous importance which have occurred in the life time of humanity. Such events as the discovery of fire, the wheel, the printing press, and now the startling discov ery and utilization of a whole new era of atomic power, these and other events of outstanding meaning have determined the direction and progress of man kind, Christian Faith, however, that next to the miraculous creation of the universe, the greatest single event which has ever happened, is the rcssurec tion of Jesus Cm-Ist from the dead I There have been those who have called the ressurvetton story the worst fraud ever per petrated against humanity. Others have with respectful si lence promised to consider it if Faith would ‘only present the facts. The enemies of Faith, have, sought- to bargain with every new discovery of man t.o bring discredit upon this fundamental assumption nf Christian Faith, that God en acted his mightiest act. among men by restoring to life on the third day a man who had been brutally lynched on a hill call ed Calvary, Yet despite this never ending onslaught against, it, Christian Faith in every age since that first morning when the women found an empty tomb, has persuaded and con verted countless millions to ac cepted what is incredible to many, the simple stoiy of what God wan doing for us through the ressurection of Jesus, There an? many Christian IN THIS OUB BAY BY DR C A CHICK, SR The Eastertide Easter celebrates the mira culous rising of Christ the. triumph of man over death and the release of earth and nature from the bonds of win ter.

Why waste God s valuable time in hateful broiling and fighhng when we can make this glorious groups and individuals who worship Jesus who themselves will have nothing to do with the doctrine of the ressurec tion. They would hold up the teachings of Jesus as the high point of his contribution t<i faith. Other:-', call him Lord beca»re. be points the way to God and can lead the soul to its own mystical discovery of God the Father. Some honor him be cause he was a martyr to such a. worthy cause and they pay tribute to such courage and self sacrifice True as each of these- emphases, air. yet the early beginning of Christian Faith was not based upon any of these worthy as they .n ,j The first cry of Christian faith, was “He is Risen, even as he said'". An Paul the Apo tie firmly entreaty, “And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith w also vain.” Historically, the primary tenet of Christian Faith is . the doctrine of the ressurection. And if this were not true, there is much doubt as to whether Christianity would have ever grown to em brace a world, but would have, remained merely a small sec as the Disciples of John the Baptist arc today. It was this hope which surg ed anew in the disciples which caused them to come back to gether after the bitter disap pointment of a dead Jesus. This tale brought to them by wom en, which they later discovered for'themselves to be true, “He who was dead Is alive”.

In some churches the sacrament of the Lord's Supper has been the most important part, of Easter observance. Roman Catholics must receive communion some tunes during the Eastertide, from the first Sn- day of Lent to Trinity Sunday-. Many of the popular obser vance:; of Easter aie pagan in origin. Some may be. traced to the goddess of spring, feistra. The church endeavored to give Christian significance to such of the pagan rites as could not be rooted out. Joy at the rising of the sun arid springtime awakened of nature became toy at the rising of the Sun of Righteousness, or the resurrec tion of Christ from the grave. The great bonfires which formed a part of the pagan festival had their counterpart in the "paschal tapers”, some times weighing three hundred pounds, with which the church es were lighted on Easter Eve. The Easter egg and the Easter rabbit are also pagan in origin. The proper time for the cele bration of Faster has been the cause of' much controversy.
