"SHOW HIM THE WAV"
ROCKY MOUNT The recent
Church Schoo! Convention of Re
ligious Education of the Washing
ton (N. C > District of the AME
Zion Church, held here under the !
direction of Presiding Eldar A. E. j
Hudson of G idsoovo, had as its;
theme, •’Winning Youth for Christ j
Thru Christian Stewardship.”
Under the caption, "Show Him
The Way With Spiritual Guidance” j
the program contained the follow- i
ir, 3 observation: “It is in the j
Church School that American ehil- \
then must learn of the great teach- J
logs of the Bible. The public schools
sre forbidden by lav’ to teach the i
Bible lest the separation of church I
rnd stale be violated. Nor are the
homes giving our children Chris- j
Man Education. Certainly the tele* j
vision an radio programs, movie j
houses, comic books and other j
sources influencing children are i
not helping them to become Chris- I
Nans”
The booklet continued. ' It must j
be well understood that the Church i
end its Sunday School are the only j
agencies and the last remaining
bulwark set up to fight the teach
ings of a comiiv. generation of pag
anism, Our children must be sav
ed. and saved by spiritual forces,
which only the Church and Church
Schools can supply.”
We ;ay “A-MEN” to all that, has
ten to add that, parents who real
ly love their offspring and want
them to have the better, richer,
fuller lives, will not renege on •
their obligation and also give the
necessary home religious training
and example
We arc indebted to the Scotland ;
Neck Commonwealth, usually con
servative Halifax County weekly, j
for the following editorial anent
the case cf a Negro who was re
portedly thrice sentenced for a
crime in Judge Chester Morris'
court. The editorial is captioned.
"Looks Like Judge Morris Erred
In This Case” and reads thusly:
“Maybe it. was the weather or
something else, but Judge Chester
Morris certainly did something in
Halifax Superior Court last week
that was completely out of charac
ter.
”A Negro came before the Judge
to be sentenced. After sentence had
been passed the Negro with a wide
grin on his face went back to his ]
seat. The Judge called him before
the bar again, evidently resenting

n;ce to stop here—enroute from the
N. C. Morticians Convention in Sal

pen a card back to Madam Harren.
The object was to have a card
with the post-mark of “my old ;

Harren and .1 moved from here !
during the early 1900 s.
IN CHARLOTTE, smiling Miss
Sarah Simms checked us in at the
Alexander Hotel, where we learn
ed that the widow* of the late Dr.
Alexander, who established the ho
tel. Is no longer a widow. In the
rush at the desk we missed the
name of the new husband-doctor.
Looking in .briefly upon the Ca- 1
tawba Synod, we saw familiar j
faces. Among them the following; j

years to his sentence. The Negro J ’
grinned again and returned to his
seat, whereupon Judge Morris call- '
ed him back and added another ;
term to his sentence. This, how
lover, did not seem to erase the :
I grin :
; •‘Certainly this is no way for a
j Spuenoi Court Judge to act. j
! The Negro may have been in con- j
| tempt of court, but likewise ii j ■
| could have been true that he was \
i showing (hat he could take his, sen- :'
i fence with good grace. He may !
; have been ignorant or of low men- j
j tality which could have accounted !;
I for his failure to observe proper i'
i court etiiquette. In any case, if ! i
! the first sentence fitted he crime 1 i
f for which he hnd been found guilty *.
|we don’t think i.hc judge had -any ;
! right to add extra years to his sen- ;
| tener because ho smiled, or oven ;
S laughed, in open court or even ,
I vas in contempt in a more positive 1
i manner.
i "This type of activity on the part j
Jof the judge does not add to the j
i dignity of the courts nor does it \
i increase respect or them Nor does |
it sound l ; ke Judge Chester Mor- 1
.-is. In all things he has been a ;
fair and able jurist
”We are just wondering if Judge j
Morris, afor thinking the ifiatrer 1
over on the last day of court, did ;
not strike the added judgment from |
the sentence and revert it to the |
original sentence. That is what he j
should have done, and if he did if i
he should have seen to it that it j
i got as much publicity as his pro- :
virus aeiion, because the addition
al years imposed upon the poor ,
Negro certainly did not add to I
Judge Morris' stature as a jurist ”
