L. Sherrill, Ex ecijtiw Secretary of the Genera 1 Baptist Con nention, put a damper on th*ir enthusiasm in * pointed appeal for more funds for Shaw University and the general missions field, say in gr "If the. !?no Baptist ehurche* with their 300,000 member* wouid collect and seed in their mission money which they pray long prayer* over —we could support Shaw and give 313,000 to Oxford Colored Orphanage each year H The challenging statement which should stir the conscience of ail Baptists was this one from Reverend Sherrill's gpyech: "During 1357. some $?6.000 was re ei'-cd for Shaw B«rta?+ didn't give enough to run Shaw one month.’* Consider fch* rubfime audacit'- of that chal lengi.ng statement Shaw received only S26.ORR from 300.000 Baptist members during 1937 Thi# amount k less than on.® cent for each S*<zer since the orfSftiM+iot* of the National AMoeicbon #o t the Advancemer t of Colored People, tt Has relied chiefly on legalism. Its legal organization is one of the best in the world But beyond the sphere of legal redress, it is not advancing the Negro very far In the fight for freedom now the NAACT has seen the white South emerge into a strong legal organization matching wits with the NA ACP at every turn. Although the NAACP has thased them far and wide, it has not quite forced them to the end of the line or to a dead end. The white segregationists, like Governor Faubus, still have a few legal tricks up their sleeve. And these temporary triumphant* of Arkansas and Virginia have been in away benefiria! to the Negro m the desegregation struggle We have learned that legalism ss a total weapon for integration is "behind the times’ in a day like this. We doubt if it is the most es fective method of winning freedom now. Le galism is one of our democratic techniques but. wp must cease to regard >! as the all-impct taat sacred ideal. Foreign nation* are finding nut this fact, and perhaps this -s why we «erm to have “goofed” in our foreign policy. What the new techniques should be. we are not prepared to answer. We don't believe, however, there r any one technique, Martin Luther King. Jr , used a form of disciplined resistance in a bus boycott movement in Montgomery. He won in one year what (he NAACP s legalism had not accomplished in almost 9 hell century. If the Negro was economically independent, he would wm complete integration four timer Little Rock Private School Plan Governor Orval Faubus ha;: announced that he has been sent $61,481 to be given to the Lit tle Rock Private School Corporation to estab fish and operate private schools He has issued *> word of warninf that Negron* "will just cause trouble” if they try to r gistcr for pri vale, segregated schools when thcr. opened. Negro leaders say they know of no Negroes who will attempt to register in private schools. We hope they do not. for the private schools will soon be their own “undoing.” The initial appropriation of $61,481 will not go vety fsi and it certainly cannot provide an education for ail of the white students now out of school. Yes. we know there are in the South many niillionarie industrialists who could keep the private schools running for years. But the Private School Corporation should not fool itself into thinkig that peopH wil* keep shovel ling money into a nrfvate schcv ' hooper. Af ter aii. the millionaire mdustndvts lust don’t keep giving away their investment dollars It is not good business sense.

But Jesus would tolerate none of Hi. ‘ Suffer the little children to come timo me," He com manded. And He added one of tho-se sayings which should make so clear the message of HU gospel. "They arc the very essence of the King dom of Heaven,'' He said, "unless you become like them you shall in no wise enter in.” Like i hem- like little children--una.ffec.ted—trusting implicitly—with time to be kind.

The spirit and aim' of Reverend Sherrill’s appeal must somehow arouse ministers* and Christians in the Baptist, church. Perhaps Dr Sherrill's charge that ' there are too many sc 1 - ftr,h. narrow pastors who won t support th* cause” has considerable truth in it if we are to judge the General Baptist < .lurch on the basis of the amount contributed to Shaw Uni versity, Many ministers, we are sure', neglect "th* total church missions and educational program while feathering their own nests” Some peo pie might: say, “Who can object to that atti tude? If a man does not look out for himself, certainly no one else will ” We are sure that the Genera! Bapbr.t Church has a plan for raising funds for Hr educational institutions like Shaw University. But unless each minister and his congregation do their part in supporting the plan, >* will not work. Would the church be expecting too much to ask each member for one dollar a year for Shaw University? Tin-, would amount to 3300,000 from the general membership of the church WhJe no one can tequ. this of each Baptist member, it is his Christian duty. s? fast as he can through legalism ;nd tudicia! procedure There is no reason why 10 or 1 7 million Negroes could not own factories and industries which would manufacture the goods the nation needs Not only would we be able to hire more Negroes in skilled and supervisory capacities, but we could pay Negro stock hol ders millions of dollars in annual dividends. In materialistic Amenta, money does a lot of talking. It can get the Negro in doors that legal techniques could not open For instance, take the simple and popular toy the hula hoop. If Negro capital was or ganized to make this article, millions of dollars would pour info our coffers And people would buy it regardless of who it—gp Italian, German. Frenchman. Caucasian, Japanese, or Negro. We need some kind of leadership to guide die Negro into making investment of his fin ancial resources. Since we o*v' some of the best brainpower in the NAACP, why can’t (his leadership come from thin organization? One Negro citizen has suggested the tech nique of coercion, He states that although “the Negro leadership is paralyzed by the thought that (hr alternative to the democratic process is violence.” he may find a solution in dis eipiined coercion, It doesn’t matter whether we use th* Mar tin Luther King method, the method of in direct aggression, the technique of coercion, or the cooperative plan of capital Hvestment in industry and manufacturing. But we must cease depending entire!y upon legal and iu clidal use of the Federal courts average citizen will soon drizzle into faucet drippings when the private school enthusiasm wanes. It takes a lot of begging to keep the collection plates full. Let the Little Rock citizens keep their pri cate schools, for institutions of this kind have a definite place in our democrat v. Under the conditions at present whatever education it ran offer will be second-class and Negroes don't want ? second-class education, In retaliation, Wiley Branton states that the NAACP might consider a petition to the Fed eral court to force the doors open to Negroes upon the theory that the private schools are “a substitute" for public education which is guaranteed under the statu constitution, and Negroes are entitled to attend. We don’t think the NAACP needs to go this far, because the majority of Arkansas white citizens who cannot pav private tuition cost for their children wifi demand Ibn l the public school be reopened on an integrated basis ra (her than watch their children grow up in ignorance.

Ladies, bewarel Thie IN THIS OUR DAY THE KiSft r»F NOT INVESTING When I speak with my many friends and-or acquaintance* regarding the many opparfcun ititlee to build or establish an income for old age by wisely purchasing common stocks in well - established corpora tions, almost invariably their reply is “What happens if the concern goes broke?" And. of course, to he fair, ah I can truthfully say is that, if any concern in which you have money invested goes broke, you simply lose that much. When T. say the foregoing, those to whom I am speaking immed iately take “cold feet" so far as Investing in common stock a,re concerned, or any other invest ment for that matter. I endeavor to point out to them what would happen to our economy as well as our economic standard of living, if everyone took their point, of view' and. thus, refused to in vest on the ground that they might lose. I try to show them that unless someone takes chances and invests, our eco nomy would, be at a very low ebb in production as well as our economic standard of liv ing. 'flie basic goods (clothing, food, housing, automobiles, gas oline, current periodicals, rec reation, amusement, ate.) that we consume daily am produced by corporations into which thousands and thousands of people have revested funds m the form of common storks.
