HEROES OF FAITH
In Rom. 4:12 the Apostle Paul
declares that Abraham was the
father, not of his physical off
spring alone, but also of those
who "walk in the steps of that
'faith' which Abraham had."
Have you ever noticed that God j
does not hold the great men of'
Scripture up to us because of
their goodness? Almost invariably I
their records are marred by fail
ure and sin. But God bids us ob-1
serve their faith and what their
faith did for them (See Rom. ,
4:3.9,11.12).
There is a whole chapter on this,
subject in the Book of Hebrews. |
Hebrews 11 is properly called
"the great faith chapter." and its :
heroes "heroes of faith," for it
tells how Abel, Enoch, Noah, I
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and scores ' I
of others "obtained a good re-1 
port" before God. They all fal-j'
The Solution to College Integration in N. C.
Ann Colarusso's article, appearing
in last Sunday's Durham Morning
Herald, entitled: "N. C. Seen Facing
Full College Integration," should
eause no restless nights for those
shouldered with the responsibility of
providing higher education in this
state, if only a little wisdom and
honesty are used in the exercise of
their duty.
The article contains the usual
frank presentation by the author of
the subject under discussion and
quotes Watts Hill, Jr., chairman of
the State Board of Education, as cit
ing "three 'overriding problems'
which the makers of any plan will
face." First there is the matter of,
"The separatists movement, which
apparently is growing among the
black students." The other two pre
sented by Chairman Hill are: "The
fact that unlike the public schools
there traditionally has been freedom
of choice in selecting a" college or
university, which tends to perpetuate
the dual system-," and 'The question
of what happens to academic and ad
mission standards of predominantly
white institutions if an acceptable
plan requires the admission of larger
numbers of Negroes than there are
qualified applicants."
The major item contained in what
Chairman Hill seems to be mostly
concerned with is that of being able
to produce enough white students
in the predominantly Negro institu
tions of higher education to satisfy
the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
To our way of thinking the most
sensible step that could now be taken
by the State Board of Education to
avoid any and all inequalities or
The Approaching Mayoralty Election
The time is fast approaching when
the citizens of Durham will once
again come face to face with the
election of a mayor. Such an impor
tant event, we trust, will be given
serious consideration by both white
and black citizens of this city who,
for the past two years, have had
little to rejoice or brag about in the
case of the present occupant of the
mayor's office. To the contrary,
there have been several instances,
in Durham, when the situation as it
pertains to the mayor's office has
been more or less embarrassing to
every intelligent citizen of this city,
irrespective of race.
Whatever is said or done we think
the time has arrived for a change
in the office of the mayor of Dur
ham and it is the hope of this news
paper that among its many fine and
intelligent white citizens that a
worthy candidate can be found who
will run for the office. We suggest a
white citizen as a candidate because
we do not concur with the recent
mention of the name of one of the

k that drivtra, particularly to tarry at a very d-ckpotot
tered and failed again and again,
but Heb. 11:39 declares that
"these all .. . obtained a good
report by FAITH."
This is why Rom. 4:9-12 states
! that God's blessing is bestowed
j upon those who "walk in the
steps of that faith" which Abra
ham exhibited, just as it was be
stowed upon Abraham himself.
This truth is driven home in
Verses 3 to 5 of the same chapter:
"For what saith the Scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was
accounted to him for righteous
[ ness.
"Now to tiim that worketh is
the reward not reckoned of grace,
but of debt."
"But to him that worketh NOT,
but BELIEVETH on Him that justi
fieth the ungodly, his faith is
counted for righteousness" (Rom.
4:3-5).
problems that may arise under the
state's present system of education is
to include all of the Negro institu
tions of higher education into the
state's university system. This would
result in the abolishment of the pres
ent dual system of higher education
which too often carries with it dis
crimination in the matter of salaries,
facilities and other areas of the Ne
gro institutions and at the same time
provide the solution so badly needed
to satisfy HEW.
Of course no plan of operation is
going to work satisfactory to Negro
citizens of North Carolina today
that does not provide at least equit
able if not equal representation on
the State Board of Education. At
the present time there are only two
Negroes on a Board of 15 which we
hold is not only inequitable but de*
cidely wrong. In endeavoring to
properly adjust the department of
higher education in North Carolina
to the point where it will be satisfac
tory to Negroes as well as HEW we
would suggest tie' appointment of
addtional Negroes to the Board so
additional Negroes to the Board so
picion as to fair and equal adminis
tration of the affairs in the state's
department of higher education.
Thus, as a means of endeavoring to
help, in what now appears to be an
approaching dilemma, we propose
the above with the hope that the
State Department of Higher Educa
tion will proceed with the running of
Negro institutions of higher learn*
ing instead of with the ruining of
the Negro colleges and the so-called
Negro university now being operated
in North Carolina under its present
supervision.
two black members of the City Coun
cil as a candidate for the mayor of
Durham as being practical. We say
this because we are of the opinion
that a majority of the white voters
of Durham are not yet mature
enough in their thinking to vote for
a black candidate for mayor, how
ever qualified he may be. To their
way of thinking race or color is
more important than any and all
other qualifications.
Because of the changes that are
now taking place in the social order
all over America, as well as the
South, the next several years will
require the best minds and coopera
tion on the part of the leadership
of both races. If peace and tranquil
ity are to prevail instead of calamity,
it is our feeling that Durham, as
well as other cities in this nation,
is in need of a mayor who is sensible
and practical enough to face up to
the fact that a new order is in the
making and that customs of the old
order are not now and will not be
acceptable.

11. Josus Asks A Question: The
deputation from the Sanhedrim —
a select group representative of
the three chief sections of that
body: namely, chief priests or
heads of the twenty-four classes;
scribes, the theologians or author
ized interpreters of scripture; and
1 the elders or heads of the princi
ple families. The question was two
fold; Authority, and the Source.
Christ answered this formidable
deputation with a counter-question
with two prongs to it. "The bap
tism of John, was it from heav
en, or from men?" And, there
was not any evasion in this.
By asking them whether John's
baptism was of heavenly or human
origin, he effectually answered
their question, and put them into
a dilemma from which there was
■ no escaping. If they admitted
John's mission to have been from
, God, the matter was settled at
, once and decisively; for John had
| testified most positively and re
peatedly to the divine mission and
consequent sin of the world being
» iremoved by the Lamb of God. They
s could not face the outcome of

Pharisees and Herodians devised

it they sought to trap Jesus, and
ir thereby get him into trouble. "Is
it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar,
the Roman emperor, or not?" If
lour Lord had said give, the Phari
sees would have accused him be
»■ fore the priests as favoring the
8 Jewish nation being under Roman
0 subjection. If our Lord had re
plied do not give, the Herodians
'• would have accused him of re
s bellion against the Roman Govern
ment. They were using Roman
t money—Jesus said to them, simp
e ly: "Render unto Caesar the things
