Theu hearts leaped for joy when thy men s'chtfd a village from the top of a little hill. Deciding that the-; had gone far enough in one day, Jesus sent two of the disnple-s ahead to arrange sot night socommrdgtions while He end the other ten sat down by the highway to wait. After a while the two disciple*, who had gone seeking accommodations, were seen re turning. As they came closer, it was apparent that something unpleasant had occurred. Angri ly they approached the Master ««eh wanting to be the first to explode the bad news. Breath le-sly they told how the people in the little town had refused to rent them rooms for the night, and how the villagers had given them blunt notice to seek she*ter somewhere else. The disciples talked among themselves about the fame of Jesus who had healed the sick peo ple and given freely to the poor. In the capital city, crowds had followed HIM enthusiastical ly. so that even the disciples had become im> portent men And now to have this country town deny them admittance ns guests was more, than the disciples could bear. Our Two Colleges In Raleigh Within 'die next few weeks our two local schools—St. Augustine's College and Shaw University—will reopen their doors for busi ness For approximately a century, these in stitutions of higher learning have exerted a tremendous influence upon the Raleigh com munity. They have done a onagrii firir-nt job in terms of their limited facilities and financial resources. Often t.h?*r effort? to be of set vice to fJv# community and area have been misinterpreted. Through the year-, they have attempted to serve the community by offering evening and Saturday courses for in-service teachers and othr-r persons in the locality.

Gov. ernor Faubus wants Negro Children kept out nfLittk Rock’s Central High School regardless of the consequences. The NAACP has used effectively in the past It-, mighty legal weapons, but events in Arkan sas and Virginia have led us to take stock of the situation. Yen. through order of the court, we can force desegregation of the schools,—or can we? The rcct nt. action of the Eighth Court of Appeals makes us wonder whether the courts are weakening under the strong opposi tion of state governors snd political officials. Now that the NAACP has banked its last hope on emergency action by lire U. S. Supreme Court we are wondering if it too will give ground President Eisenhower has indicated that he Will send U S. troop” again in Little Rock if Early iri his ministry Jesus outlined His pro gram for spreading the gospel of salvation a round the world. His disciples and apostles were urged to preach one God, a good God, and a just God. Today thousands of men and women have dedicated themselves to God’s ministry, and they serve with iittie thought of large financial returns T hey soon learn that most church members are stingy when it comes to putting God's share in the collection plate. For some re-rnon they expect ministers to eke out an existence on dimes, nirklrs and quarters.

To argue would have brought him down to Hie level of tittl* men, and His silence convicted, them of their folly. T hey wished they had not spoken so quickly t they wondered what the Master was thinking. Like the disciples, Jesus was tired and need ed rest Imagine His disappointment in the disciples, with whom He had been working for three year#.. Would they never catch the spirit of His mission? He had so little time, and they were constantly wasting His time. Jesus had come to save mankind, and the disciples want ed Him to gratify His personal resentment by burning up a town. In the mind of the Master, the incident was too small for comment. In a world where so much must be done, end done quickly, the memory could not afford to be burned with a petty slight, “And they went to another vil lage* The lesson we Should remember h that die inhospitable people of the little town missed the blessings of the Master.

Second, the community should give the col leges more moral, spiritual, and financial sup port. This can be done in part by larger at tendance at convocations, concerts, theatre productions, rallies, workshops, athletic games, homecoming events, religious services, and fes tivals. Detrimental criticism of the insti toons and their work should b# reduced to a mini mum. Every Raleigh. Wake County and area citi sen—who k worth a grain of salt—should ear mark in his budget an annual gift of ten dol lar* ea.-h to die two local colleges Those per sons with more substantial mean* would in crease their ennuel “loyalty ’’ gift m propor tion. The experiments set going by Saint Augus tine’s College and Shaw University cannot, suc ceed without yout help, This is your unre quited obligation! necessary. As we see It, events will necessitate the. reappearance of the troop®. Since school desegregation has been declared unconstitutional, more peaceful means to a solution should be sought, The answer may be found in the formation of a W-lateral commis sion in the South to meet with the President and Governors and seek ways and means to prevent a socially traumatic upheaval. If the NAACP has developed a strong legal weapon in the fight against in justice, surely it has the barirpower to develop techniques to effect, true integration rather than desegregation, It should be emphasized here that there k « difference between the two terms. Integration means voluntary acceptance of Negro pupils into the fabric and framework of the academic, physical, athletic, recreational, an extra-curricular activities of the school. The U. S. Supreme Court can force desegrega tion through the use of Federal troops, but it cannot make anybody integrate. We are sure that the NAACP must be aware of this fact. Since the NAACP has become to the South a red flag to wave before the vicious bull of segregation, would we accomplish more in tegration through bi-rarial community groups? ' At any rate tire NAACP and Negro leadership must come up with something more effective in human relations if it hopes to establish per manent integration results. On the other hand, the problem is more of one for the white people than ft# Negroes. Ne groes are not the ones who started the racial problem, and white people must let the Prince of Good Will reign in their hearts. The white man and the Negro must not al low the rabble-rousers to inflame their hatred of one another. The Integration problem can and must be solved and white men and bWk men must make up their minds to do it now. where the church Is located. This will not be a difficult task once the members make up their minds to do their duty. For example, suppose a church had 7S adult members whose average individual income was $2,400 per year, ts each member contributed a tenth of his earnings to the church, this church could maintain an annual budget of SIB,OOO. If could easily pay the pastor a minimum of $6,000 plus a parsonage to Hve in. Tithing on the part of each member would eliminate rallies, church suppers, fish fries, end the like for raising monies. However, we recom mend" picnics, fish fries, church suppers as so cial activities In the church. Realizing that one hundred of the adult members will not tithe, there is no other al ternatives than to utilize other methods o! laising monies Several of the Raleigh churchc-s h*ve it» *i jc h tyo* je-rts as the CAROLINIAN Bonus Money Pro gram, Mob Rule Shall Not Prevail ♦ iifWni M I SENTENCE SERMONS "Tin* KINGDOM COME” I.

Anri it is good newr. this morning that the Eighth U. S. Circuit Court, of Appeals has granted a stay of its decision meaning at least that the new crisis will be delayed for several months. Both sides, of course, remain irrevocably committed But there is at least hope that the passage of time will provide some means of accommodation between and irresistable force and an immovable object Until the basic arguments of one side or the other are de molished. or revised the crisis remains. Governor Faubus said, during his recent gubernatioral campaign, that be will not tol erate enforced school desegre gation m Little Rock. The Eighth T 3. S, Circuit Court of Appeals, in a. blistering 6-1 opinion, replied this week that, the Negro children enrolled at Central .High School last year must return and that “the time has pot yet come in these Unit ed States when an order of a federal court must Vie whittled away, watered down or shame fully withdrawn in 'he lace of violent and unlawful arts of in dividual citizens in opposition thereto.” Thus both sides, for the sec ond Autumn in a row, have staked themselves out for an other titanic struggle. Symboli cally Little Rock has become more than a single city with a local school problem. It, has be come the testing ground for the validity of the Supreme Court’s “new law". Both sides seem a wme of the significance of the struggle. Both have powerful weapons. President- Eisenhower as he observed at his Wednesday press conference,, can bring the entire force and prestige of the. U. 8. government to bear on Governor Faubus and Central High School H” did that, last ye.ar, in a tragic move, which badly dsmarsp the c4u:-e the Supreme court champions.

Therefore, if the challenge at. this time appear? too great. than our world is headed toward ill fate, and if you and I fail to properly function, we too will have to answer at an unhappy junction 9. “THY KINGDOM COME" in earlh as it Is in heaven. , . hut you and I must furnish the spir said Wednesday, he will cer tainly move in a similar mann er if and when the U. S. Su preme Court, sustains the cir cuit court. Governor Faubus also has a powerful weapon: Wide popu lar support in Arkansas and many parts of the South. But. he is operating on extreme iv dangerous ground when h r runs the risk of actually defy ing a court order. The issue of the supremacy of the nation over any state was settled, and rather finally, 100 years ago. If the President succeeds in focusing the issue on law vs. anarchy, he might dw.uoy the Arkansas Governor, bm bit terness and hatred would en sue. Governor Fuubu also he; other weapons at his disposal. Ail of them are a two-edgi d sword: and so he will use them only reluctantly. He has the power, stemming from his pop ularity in Arkansas, to per suade the state legislature to close Central High School. Quite obviously neither the TT. s. courts nor the U. 8. gov ernment can force tt commun ity to operate a school* against its wishes. But that, in itself i< a. self-defeating answer to the problem. Who will.be hurt if the schools are closed’.’ Certainly not the President of Hip United States or the black-robed justices. The parties hurt will be the children of Littlrf Rock and their par ents and friends. Enligblmcnt cannot spring from ignorance. So both parties have double edged weapons at their dispose'. President Eisenhower has par atroopers. They may get the Negro children In Central High School again but in the process they will damage the very prin ciples they defend. For when military force becomes the only substitute for anarchy in A merica, the cause of law and order suffers a previous blow. Gov. Faubus has the pow- , er to enflamc mobs and close (he schools. In the process he will hurt bis own people more than the opposition. There is no effective a newer to this grave clash of authority, short of retreat by one party or the other: and no withdrawal appears likely. —Greensboro nadir TVowy MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING As was expected and pro tied ik-j effort of ths New V o rlr CO’l&fcY TTI CCT&.tA* OT**" gar.lzatior: to knock off incum- itusi leaven: if .you have mad* up you* - mind to cheat and get by, your plane will fall before it ns ’ho sky. 50 One better do his re-fuel ing now and keep as close to God a- time will allow . for ibis is what If takes now to have HIS KINGDOM to earth to come do'.', r,. and those will be caught up wh n the trumpet shall sound. !

The campaign, which was watched closely by the nation, was distinguished by the com plete absence of any issues which would commend them selves to enlightened voters, as indicated by the fact that over half the registered Democrats stayed away from the polls. Ando from boasting oi championship of civil rights by both candidates, it was purely a battle of personalities —a sort of popularity contest, and the best known demagogue won, Since New York State hf.s more civil rights laws than the rest of the states put together, and since it leads all others in enforcing these lews; civil rights was clearly no issue to interest Negro voters of the 16th N. Y. Congressional Dis trict. The civil rights which Negro es enjoy in New York State were not brought into being by any one political! but are the fruits of the labors of thous ands of dedicated colored and white citizens over the pact half-century or more.
