JUST A THOUGHT
By GLEN MITCHELL
For several days now, since Dr.
Edmonds delivered her adress, ‘To
day's World, Tomorrow’s Church."
st Shaw University, I have been
lost in thought on many of the sa
lient points she stress if the church
of the future must assume it's re
sponsibility courageously and effi
ciently—the responsibility of body
saving as well as soul-saving. (See
June 21st CAROLINIAN).
If we take a restrospective view,
we cannot but laud deservedly the
few selfless, unletterd Negro
men who with their scant know
ledge of the holy writings of the
Bible became torches of guidance,
lit with courage and faith in them
selves and their Creator.
We cannot belittle the sig
nificance of those early preach
ers of the gospel who gave a
downtrodden people hope, jov
and encouragement under the
most adverse circumstances
H is doubtful whether those
men were fully aware of the
magnitude of their service to
iheir race an dkind. Indeed, in
our day the greatness of their
deeds sparkle without blemish.
>n thf’ir time, people of color did
not know what it meant to go to
school and college. Today, because
of the courage and guidance of
those unlettered men, the opportu
nity avails itself increasingly. Dr.
Edmonds wanted to know (maybe
she still does) if the church is able
to meet, the challenge of the times.
But there are other questions
which derp.Snd satisfactory answers
if her question is to be answered
candidly: are the graduates who
leave our college with strings of
letters following their names pre
pared to meet the responsibilities
imposed upon them by virtue of
their claim as ministers of the. gos
pel?
Os course, they try to assure
all concerned that they are giving
the people what they want. Well
and good. But are the people be
ing made better off by what they
receive? Is this want really a need,
cr is ;t a result of indoctrination
to satisfy the ulterior motives of a
few smart fellows? What I am get
t np down to is this: do our people
■want provoked emotions? Do they
w ant lust to be moved by a beau
tiful dramatization of Bible stories,
or do they want to share the su
perior understanding for which
they send their sons and daughters
to school and college?
Many a parent has said thal the
reason for sending his child to

school is because he doesn't want i
the child to be like him. He wards j
the child to know and enjoy th* !
better offerings of life to which he
himself was not exposed. Are sons
end daughters satisfying this wish
of our magnanimous forebears?
I am afiaid that, on the av
j erage, sons and daughters have
a distorted view of the respon
sibility vested in them. I ant
afraid ihey even have distorted
philosophies of life. For one
thing, college has opened their
eyes to the myriad uses of the
good old American dollar. Pile
one dollar on top of another
and pretty goon a big car can :
be a valuable showpiece pos
session. As a matter of accept
ance, ii is a prerequisite If one
is to show that one ia a suc
cessful somebody. So it seems, j
There is little or no evidence
of true dedication to the task
of leading others from "dark
ness to light."
If we are to successfully meet j
i the challenge of the itmes. it is full
t-me that one straighten out our
philosipbic distortions, If he Ne
gro is to rise above the level of the
mediocre, he must face facts frank- j
ly and art with deliberate soeed !
and determination to improve his j
deplorable state of smug mediocri- I
ty, The leaders of our people, in
cluding the ministers of the gos
pel, must cease this wanton exploi
tation of our people, for to ponder
on the ignorance of a people, in
mere persosal gratification is in
deed exploitation. We must, re
r-trair from breeding ignorance and
crippling the brilliant minds of the
youngsters of today, who undoubt
edly are to be citizens of tomorrow.
No amount of lip service and
"nice” talk will get us anywhere.
The journey is long, but it can be
made Jess dreary if we begin to
face it with courage -and acquired
technique We tend to be too com
mands of the times and be up and
j placent with what Is about us.
Let us be wide awake to the dr- !
j mauds of the times and be up and i
i doing lest we rob ourselves of what 1
great good lies ahead of us. We i
cannot stall the progress of the j
work begun by the unlettered j
few; progress should be infinitely j
greater now that the lettered many j
have taken over. Lot the spirits of i

CHICKENS COME «OME TO
ROOST: Chicken always come
home to roost, that is both pro-|
verbial and true. The Southern!
white man In his studied at*!
tempt to belittle Negroes and i
keep Negroes divided has thought!
! that one of the best ways to a r
j compiish this devilish aim is to'
i mlnumize the crimes that Negro. l
I commit against each other,, there*
j by increasing the contempt. Ne
; groes hold for each other.
The fly In this ointment, how-
I ever, is the fact that by condou
?: ing the crimes Negroes comml 11
) j against each other, the doers o
| these crime become emboided 10
i commit their crimes without re- j
i gard to race.
j "WONDERFUL : According to
1 press reports, Gov, Hodges, when
| asked to comment on the order of
the federal district court delaying
school Integration in Little Rock.
Ark. for 24 years, said he though";
the order was “wonderful'’, if
this alleged comment is true, it
would appear that Gov, Hodges
la s&ying that It is wonderful tha t
violence, passions, hatred, Intol -
erance and law defiance are ail
wonderful.
This order of delay, if allowed
to stand, simply means that the;
s federal court that issued It is sav- j
1 j ing that, lawlessness is to he obey -1
5 ! ed, countananced and sanctioned
• It la saying that as far as it it'
; concerned, the “due process of |
! law” is a meaningless phrase to
*! be substituted for contempt of
• law. Despite the pious attempt to
j justify and tone down its hideout
content®, ths order and any order,
that in effect nullifies the demo- j
eratie principles of justice and
equality for all, should be speedily
overturned.
There was no haste, force oi
pressure used when integration j
was put in effect in Little Rock
■ Th# violence and lawlessness that ;
i erupted there after the plan for!
I integration had beer, peacefully
