During the course of his mes sage the preacher sought to im press upon his hearers the basic fact that "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eter-1 nal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6:23). This greatly upset the parents. After the service they complained: "This is embarrassing. Our boy was not a sinner." The truth was that shortly be fore his death this young man had done what every true, born-again Christian has done. He acknowl edged himself to be a lost sinner and. trusting Christ as his Savior, had been so gloriously saved that his parents were mystified that he could be so happy in the face of death. The simplest believer in Christ understands all this. He knows that far the "old man" the death ; of the body is indeed a "dishon- ! The Threat of the Ku Klux Klan The ignorance and bitterness ex hibited by officials or leaders of the Ku Klux Klan at City Hall last Mon day night must have opened the eyes of thousands of intelligent citizens of both races in Durham who have, generally speaking, considered the klan more or less somewhat of a nuisance organization in our midst, to be tolerated until its leaders and members become intelligent or pass off the scene in the due course of time. To the contrary the threats of violent action against the mayor and five other members of the City Council has served notice on all law abiding citizens that Durham has in its midst an organization whose mem bers are possessed with the idea that they have a right to take the law into their hands and proceed to conduct the affairs of this city as they please. "We will kill somebody if we have to," said Lloyd Jacob, King Kleagle . of the locariclan. "The communists have taken over tKis city and we in tend to liberate it," said Jacobs. Such brazen threats of murder, even against the humblest human being of this city or any city, should arouse deep concern withtin the heart of every law abiding citizen, to say nothing of a threat of murder to a member or members of the City Council of Durham. This newspaper has stated again and again, in these columns, that we are unalterably opposed to commun ism. We are satisfied that our op position has the support of 95 per cent if not every black citizen of Durham.

But for the "new man" the death of the body is the vestibule through which he is ushered into the blessed presence of "the Captain of our Salvation," the One who j "by the grace of God tasted death for every man" that He might I "bring many sons to glory" (See Heb. 2:9,10). This is why we read in Heb. 2:14,15: "Forasmuch, then, as the chil dren [of Adam] were partakers of ! flesh and blood, He [Christ] also Himself likewise took part of the same: that through death He ! might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; "A«d deliver those who through fear of death were all their life ' time subject to bondage." No wonder St. Paul's simple message of salvation was: "Be lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and j thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). communistic philosophy this news paper is totally unaware of such. If any official or member of the Ku Klux Klan has any information to the contrary we feel it is their bounden duty to report such to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Likewise, we are unalterably op posed to the KKK because we are convinved that it is now, and has been since its beginning, built on a foundaton of hatred, malice and ill will against black citizens. Thus, the red flag of communism raised be fore the City Council last Monday night by the Ku Klux Klan was done for the expressed purpose of gain ing support for the klan's attacks against black citizens of Durham who, in spite of discrimination in every facet of their lives, are con tinuing onward and upward in new fields of employment and otherwise in this country. The black manV role of loyalty in all previous warrs -engaged in by this country speaks for itself. The pre sent war in Vietnam finds a higher percentage of black soldiers now fighting and dying for their country than whites. Because of our loyalty and valiant record of the past and present, the black man has no cause to fear the threats of the Ku Klux Klan, the so-called Citizen's Com mittee for Law ahd Order or any other such group or individual. We are satisfied that if it becomes necessary Durham's intelligent and law abiding citizens of both races will lock arms in a determined stand for law, order and the rights of any and all citizens, irrespective of race, creed or color.

"I need not remind you of the details of the public con troversy over black capitalism,*' he continued. "The term has been discussed at length by educators, the clergy and, last fall, by both presidential can didates. But, few businessmen have discussed the subject in terms of the impact on their balance sheets." "Ever since the end of World War n, marketing men have urged a comparison of the buying power of the Negro market in the United States with that of all of Canada. While I agree that reference to these two similar S3O Billion markets is a dramatic way of illustrating the reality of the hlack consumer's potential, I must also Insist that this com parison gives some false impres sions. It has led a few people to some misconceptions, for some folks have asked them selves, 'lsn't Canada a separate country? and, why can't Amer ica's Negro market be consi r dered separate, too?"

Prrncaaw Smn, DUUHAM, NOBTH CABOLINA 27702 Goodloe pointed out that those who follow this sort of logic fail to realize— first, that capitalism is an economic sys tem in which the means of production and distrubition are not only privately owned but are dependent upon free enterprise. While it is true that we need to see that we are more adequately represented on all levels, we cannot~by implication—think in terms of economic self-sufficiency. This is the one point upon which virtually all economists agree. Complete economic indepen dence is impossible. No nation, state, no city, nor any commu nity can produce everything it need. For, dynamic capitalism depends upon the freedom of the owners to engage in mutu ally profitable activities. The key work is freedom. Thus, capitalism in its pure seme must be multi-cblored. It can not be black and it dare not be white." "While it is true," Goodloe emphasized, "in today's socie ty, we form the black bottom on an almost white economy, it is also true that the meaning ful efforts of private industry and government to nurture and develop black enterprise is most encouraging for the pre sent. And, it augurs well for the future. "No little part of the con troversy over black capitalism," Goodloe suggested, "stems from the fact that some peo ple are striving to lable a com plex system with two simple words. What most of us are really talking about, I submit, is not black capitalism but black enterprise. Black enter prise, like the word, freedom, means different things to dif ferent people. I depend upon that great middle consensus when I say in my definition it is neither anti-white nor separatist. Any plea for the support of black enterprise is simply an expression of black self-determination with a deep er appreciation of the possibi lities of the business potential of the Negro community and a heightened desire for atten tion, recognition and accep tance in the market place." In closing, Goodloe urged that the support of black enter prise be emphasized by the organization and that the term be substituted for black capi talism. He commended the Durham Business and Profes sional Chain and the House wives League for their work and service in strengthening the city of Durham. -Teachers (Continued from front apge) tee are sufficient to cope with these problems, then we own up to 'Black Separatism.'

Under the Jones administra tion the college had succeeded in getting funds from the fede ral government and from foun dations. With a part of such money seven regular teachers are doing further study at universities this year and about twenty are expected to study during the summer of 1969. The quality of the student body has improved as the col lege no longer has an "open door" policy and the standards for admission are being raised yearly. A College Foundation has been Initiated and a Develop ment Office has been opened on a part time basis. After July 1, 1969 this will become a full time office and the col lege hopes to secure increasing contributions from business, industry, foundations, and friends.

Yet, this record .shows AS it vfas our Lord's design that It should be linkfed on to an observance with which his dis ciples were already familiar. He thus took advantage of a princi ple in human nature, and connect ed the associations and recollect ions which to the Hebrew mind were most sacred, with what was to bo one of the holiest and most pathetic engagements of his peo ple throughout all time. The place too, is of great moment—a guest-chamber in a house in Jeru salem, made possible through a friend, ostensibly of wealth anc good feeling toward our Lord. respect accorded him as a col lege president. He reminded the Trustees however, that in recent years the stresses and tensions of the office have been more demanding both mentally and physically.

The city's entire election ma chinery will be changed if a bill now In progress through the General Assembly is passed— and apparently it will be. That bill calls for abolition of primaries and election of all city officials in general election that would be held on Oct. 7 (But if the bill in progress does not become law, the usual primary will be held in October and the general election will follow, early in December.) But Jackson's announce ment for vice mayor isn't pre mature, judged by the activity already apparent by mayoralty hopefuls. MASSELL and Aldermen Rodney Cook, Milton Farris and Everett Millican are com paignlng busily though none but Millican is in any sense a declared candidate. Former U. S. Rep. Charles Weltner and a number of others are making feelers for support. And several unknowns are saying they are candidates. Jacjtson said his candidacy last year gave him " a determi nation to help Atlanta to be come a city not of need, but The occasion was the observ i ance of the Paschal meal. Thus f the light of the Hebrew Passover was shed upon the Christain sacra- } ment and Eucharist. Thus the apostle says, "Christ Our Passover was slain for us." Our Lord's grief bore down heavily upon him, and consequently disturbed his dis ciples. The sin which brought Jesus to the cross was made vis ble and palpable in the conduct of the traitor. Bread and wine, symbols of life—He gave to them to eat and drink. Thus, we are f admonished to feed on him by 'j faith who is the Bread of life. The Lord's Supper is a feast of remembrance. 11. The Scene In Gethsemane: Here we see Christ bearing our » griefs, carrying our sorrows a load beneath which even he almost ' sinks! We are stung by the human agony of Jesus, only. We are pas- J sionately concerned, and we f should be; that it was for our sake ? that Jesus, our High Priest offer- 'j ed tears unto God, and that the "Father spared not his own Son." i The singular tranquility of soul { gave way—"My soul is exceeding j sorrowful, even unto death." The - humanity of Jesus was made dis- tinctly obvious through tears, pros tration, agony and bloody sweat. Christ was preparing for bodliy • pain, scourging, and crucifixion; j mental distress in the endurance j of the insults of his foes, the jj cruel desertion of his friends, the . ingratitude of the people for . whom he had labored. In the garden of the olive-press » the Redeemer endured the un- precedcnted pressure of human * sin and human woe! Jesus did * .not absolutely ask for release; his ? condition was, "If it be possi- i blc," and his conclusion, "Not my | will, but thine, be done!" There f was no resistance to the Father's $ appointment. As Christians, we must follow Jesus. 111. Human Failure: Jesus went three times to s*o whether his ' three nearest friends were watch -1 ins with him in this hour of trial. 1 This reflects our lord's human yearning for understanding and j sympathy. But inspite of human i failure, Jesus found strength and s undergirding from the Father. i Now, He could say, "Sleep on ti'howf" The sh&dow of the traitor ;- falls across his path. Instead of e falling upon his knees or upon i- his face, in agony and tears, he t- went forward to meet his betray t- ers. Instead of seeking release d from his impending fate, he offer is ed himself to his foes. He reach ?t ed gallantly forth to take the cup o- from which he had so lately ic shrunk.
