Follow me. And he arose and followed him." St. Mat thew 3:9. We often speak of Jesus as an executive, an administrator, or a leader. Nowhere is there such a startling example of His administrative success as the *.vay He brought together the men in His organization. Take tire tax collector, Matthew, as the most striking instance. Matthew operated a tax col lecting agency, and his occupation carried a heavy weight of social ostracism somewhat like that of our professional gamblers of today. But his tax-collecting business was profitable, and lie was well-to-do according to the simple standards of the little town. Without doubt, he was a busy man and not subject to Impulsive action. Matthew’s addition to Christ’s organization is told in a sin gle sentence, “And as Jesus passed by, he called Matthew." If we think.of it—it was amazing. There was no argument; no pleading on the part of Jesus, A smaller leader would have been compelled to set up the advantages of the opportunity. “Os course you are prosperous where you are, and I believe you are making money," Jesus have There Are Those That Care ‘‘lnasmuch as ye have done if unto the least «f these . . . ye have cone it unto me” was Christianity put into action recently by mem bers of the United Church when it installed 1,200 feet of water lines for the residents of Joe Louis Park, a poverty-stricken area where a community of Negroes live amidst sordid, unsanitary s’grroundin?js. For several years some 55 residents have lived without piped-in water, used mostly 15 condemned wells and two open springs, used seven septic tanks, and (of all things) 39 out door privies. These people were surrounded, on the one hand, bv the c'tiren* of 'Pjdmgh persons boasting about their paved streets, bath tubs and shower baths radios and line automobiles. On the other side, they were bounded by Wake County officials and pros perous citizens. They‘have been forgotten by the City of Raleigh, by Wake County, by the Protestant Christian Church, and lastly by their Negro brothers. But they were not forgotten by God, for He stirred the hearts of the members of tht- United Church under the leadership of Rev. Gaylord Noyce, the pester. The United Church searched its conscious after learning about the peopk of Joe Louis Park. It formed a J Louis Park I nprov< - ment Association under the leadership of its Peace and Service Committee. With the help of the church treasury, with financial help from the Exchange, Women's and Pilot clubs, with the assistance of Charles Irving and Law rence Lightner. with the work of citizens of the i area and college students and members of the > United Church, a water main was completed. ■ At The End Cl The Line Those of us who remember the days of the street car know the meaning of ‘'at the end of the line. In the Little Rock desegregation struggle the phrase means that Governor Fau bus needs to turn around, because he has reached the end of the line. He has no teach ers, no buildings, and very little money with which to operate even private segregated schools. Faubus thought he had “the situation cov ered” when he proposed to take over the pub lic schools find subsidize them by a private corporation with one million dollars. When he wss expecting to get other funds, we can’t imagine. The Eighth Circuit of Appeals put an end te> his private corporation plan when it issued * temporary restraining order forbidding the transfer of “possession, control or operation, directly or indirectly, of the senior high school of the Little Rock Schoo" District.” Even if it were possible for a private corp oration to operate segregated schools, teach - era in both Arkansas :*nd Virgin’’a have said that they will not buck the law This decision A Healing Os This Disease There seems to be a “murder wave" raging In this country. People have taken human life into the palm of their hands, and strict ap plication of the law seems to have no deterring force. Headlines streaming across the pages of ■ our newspapers tell a sordid story of lives be - mg sunffed out by the blades of knives, trig gers of guns and pistols, heatings with rough objects, and poisons of ah kinds. A 64-year-old pulpm-cd cutter recently bat tered hss wife to death with a broomstick in Pittsboro and was given an 18 to 25 years sen tence. Last month a Taylor- ilk man, 25, was placed in jail on a charge of murdering his father-in-law. Recently a former constable was convicted of manslaughter in the .shooting ol an election rival in rura. Wake County. • Six children and 22 years later a Cleveland County man has confessed that as a boy ol 14 he killed his father by putting arsenic in his coffee. The man’s conscience bothered him and after talking with an uncle and a brother, he decided to confess.

Forging The Link At Home Would Make The Job Easier f SENTENCE SERMONS BY REV. FRANK CLARENCE LOWERY For ANP “COME. LET US REASON TOGETHER” 1. This means more than mere talk—men don’t draw up ! contracts while together they . listlessly walk: no, for this, one takes no chance, but devotes much hard thinking in ad vance. 2. Then too. when troubles arise and fears dismay, many hope to find refuge in their friends when these problems to them, they convey. 3. But, often this means fails to suffice, then to higher and professionally trained sources they go in quest, of advice. 4. Sven to this extreme they find no .relief, and at every turn only aggravated grief, un til somewhere REASON seems to grasp a new hold, and the heart now warms that was once quote cold. 5. A voice is heard like a charming bird mellowing its way into space, nothing to fear, only the earth to cheer and certainly no problems to face. What Other Editors Say A CALL FOR CONCILIATION AND NEW IDEAS Two respected leaders of the South—former Sen. Frank P. Graham of North Carolina and Gov. Leroy Collins of Florida— have called for conciliation on the national level and “new ideas” as requisites In the de segregation crisis. Dr. Graham, delivering the Mclver Lecture at Woman's College in Greensboro, suggest ed that, national and state lead ers sit down together to dis cuss the issues: This is no time for Inflexi bility, -defiance, hysteria or glibness on either meal or glo bal fronts . . . In America the calling out of the state troops against obe dience to the law of the land caused the ceiling out of fed eral troops in support o£ the law. State troops cannot re peal a federal law. Federal troops cannot op an or run the public schools. The filling of the jails or the use of federal bayonets and bombs will open no schools but will tend to close ■ more minds, stiffen more wills and, In some states, cause more “mats;ve resistance,” . . . Governor Collins told the Triennial General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Miami Beach: The- people of America are now railing anxiously for new ideas for resolving the racial conflicts which beset them . .. 'The answer) will not come from the extremist* on either side . . , Certainly it is true that fur ther stiffening of the Supreme Court’s position on the school crisis will not lead to tolerable accommodation any more than “massive resistance" lias paid off In Virginia and Arkansas. Somewhere bet ween the “al! or nothing’’ philosophies, con tending forces must heed new leadership which can find rea sonable positions where both sides can stand with honor. Otherwise, one rebuff will lend to another, And who will suffer in the clash of irresistible force and Immovable object? The children will sitffer. Neither North nor South must, allow them to become in nocent pawns In a tragic en counter in which inflexibility could lead directly to massive ignorance. Where is the leadership In the South and the nation to re solve this growing impasse be fore it consumes the remaining 6. This mysterious sound was a voice others have since heard , . . Elijah was even fed by a strange bird; and when men in Jesus’ time knew not which way to go, He simply spoke with perfect ease, “consider the lilies of the field how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” 7. More astounding still are these heart-throbbing words from Heaven, “Come, let us reason together;” this is the sure way out whatever may be the matter. fi. Uiis requires close com munion with God, and a de clared distaste for Satan's fraud; it is is when this forth right step is taken, that the Heavenly Father never leaves His children forsaken. 9. He cares not what His creatures have done if they mean from henceforth never with Satan to run; but. sincere reservoir of good will? GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS BAD DAT IN LITTLE KOOK The overwhelming majority of Little Rock citizens who voted for segregation in the citys’ high schools will have a momentary sense of triumph. They will revel for a few days in their voter, which were in tended as a shriek of defiance at. the Supreme Court and as notice that they will hold on to their prejudices come what may. In the long run, and it won t be so long at that, they will find that they have only defer red what they regard as the evil day when Negro and white children will attend the same schools. Their votes can' stay the constitutional and moral demand for the elimination of segregation They—these voters who vot ed their defiance and their pre judices will find that they have done harm t-o their own children by temporarily de stroying the public school sys tem. They will learr. that their proposed system of private schools just won'l work, in the last half of the 30th Century and they will ultimately learn that the courts won't brook their childish scheme. The blame for the bud day in Little Rock belongs not so, much to the unseeing and un knowing voters as it does to such people as Senators Wil liam Fulbrigllt and John Mc- Clellan end to Governor Orval Faubus.

JUST FOR FUN By MARCUS 11. BOULVVAK® CORN YARD AT NAACP CONFAB Yes. Cornyard is a race man! He and I attended the mass meeting at the N. C. State N AACP Conference last Friday night and listened to Mrs. Ru by Hurley speak. She sold. Cornyard on “We Want Free dom Now ” Cornyard was delighted at the joke that the Field repre sentative told prior to taking the public offering. He said that a. pig and hen attended a Fowl Convention and heard the speaker urge the delegates that they must make more than conirtDuhmis rather sacri fice*. The next morning the hen and pig were walking past c. case that carried an advertise ment featuring a ham arid special. 'Die pig said to the hen, “Now that ham and egg adver tisement illustrates vividly v hat the speaker meant last night by the difference between a. contribution and a sacrifice.” The hen asked “How?” “To that the ham and egg breakfast, you made a contri bution but I made a sacrifice,' 1 answered the pig. Cornyard just guffawed and held his side. Hs stopped when I said, “Here comes the usher with the plate, and he wants you to make a sacrifice.” iSh-sh-sh - ) I think my friend made just a contribution. PEOPLE ARE TALKING a houfc that Froggie Bottom gendarme who has spearhead ed at least a dozen raids on disorderly houses, big crap games and illegal whiskey par ties But for some reason, he had conveniently forgot about the big operation going on at his home. Big gambling and so so parties are held there every week end, (To Cornyard) “Why are you smiling, my friend?” said T. Cornyard said, “It makes everybody wonder what you have been up to.” (He-he-he a' COACH .AT a well-known southern college has been la menting trie fact that a rival institution lias plucked off an other potential star player he wanted to get. “Tills boy was f?-4 210 pounds and an all-A’ student.” Gordon B» Hancock ’s BETWEEN the LINES THE NEGRO S GREATEST WEAPON The tensions of the hour in this country in general, and the South in particular, are calcu lated to tax to the uttermost the Negro’s struggle resources. The coals we are seeking are going to demand our all. When Israel was wandering in the wilderness, God fought for them. But once they sec foot upon the Promised Land, they had to do their own fight ing. The point made is that the fight that the Negro is current ly waging will largely be a fight u> his own making. Negro leaders have insisted that those whites who went to bat for Negroes and their rights must go all the way—even to martyrdom. The whites who dared to spean for Negro free dom could not turn back, and if they did turn back’short of a kind of maryrdom they were branded as "fair weather friends' and not worthy to be called friendt This has tended to frighten away many of the Negro's friends, who wet e not ready toi martyrdom—and lew there are who arc ready. The situation is not calcu lated to produce John Browns in great profusion It lias come about that the liberal whites are slow to speak up in the current crisis. If they do speak the possibilities of reprisals are abounding and if they are call ed to pay the price. Negroes aie not In good position to help them, There arc certain Negroes peculiarly situated who must speak cautiously, such as Ne groes holding offices and po sitions with, the state. If we would make, the same allowance for the white liberal that we make for our own peo ple who are peculiarly situat ed, then the white libera! would feel more like risking his neck. The sooner the Negroes cease demanding full martyrdom ot their white friends, the sooner those friends will feel more like speaking up lor what is just and righteous. In other words, Negroes must themselves be martyrs if they would have martyrs in our cause. By all means let us stop de manding for every friendly white who feels disposed to lift, a voice in our behalf. In his fight for lull citizen ship, the Nce.ro can press for ward with the full knowledge that God and Time and Right are on his side and that public opinion i" his mightiest wea pon. Whatever Negroes can do to influence public opinion in the right direction will help our The thing that the Old South fears most as it, fights bitterly to maintain the status ctuo, is public opinion, One of the ma jor efforts of the South is di rected at winning sufficient public opinion to justify and encourage their massive resist ance program. One of their most sagacious strokes of stategy was their success in having this fight sh? tc:v instead of me fight lor white supremacy. Segregation is only No wonder tho coach Is pulling out his hair. How bad can tits breekea get anyhow? Cornyard and Dee-Jay were arguing over whether they lik en Joy Brandon In a conven tional or sack diet*. Cornyard abhors the sack, but Dee-Jay says Joy Is becoming in It, since it takes the sex out of the dress. “If. takes everything else out of the dress except the cloth—style, beauty, charm,” claims Dee-Jay, And he ought to know. Attending a lyceum lecture at Duke University last week, Cornyard and I heard the in ternational scientist, Professor Kollick. He stated if science can build a perfect, dummy mo ther monkey, why can’t it build a perfect dummy wife? The dummy mother —a cloth-covered wood and sponge figure heated by a light bulb— was made by Professor Kollick last year. The professor found that bottle-fed monkeys were completely content with this laboratory mother, and that there was some evidence she was more satisfying than a real mother. Cornyard voiced his objec tion to ms after the educational lecture, saying, “Friend, you can have the dummy wife she’s not for me.” Yes, but Cornyard, let’s take shock of the advantages, A dummy wife docs not have to be fed, you can save doctor bills by fixing her with a wrench, and on a vacation trip you could ship her ahead by ex press. She’d never complain a bout not having anything to wear. When she wears out, you could sell her to a junk man and be a bachelor again,” I re plied. Cornyard was about to agree when Loretta ups and walks pass us down the street. Need less to say, further argument, was of no avail. Annie Belle made our ears buck when she related that a well-known South Froggie Bot tom churchwoman and choir soloist files suit for a divorce from her husband, a deacon at the same church. Her suit will charge that he is romancing the wife of the pastor! The scandal will make headlines if it breaks. Hold on, Cornyard is just, waiting! the implementation of rac« prejudice but it would make a bad impression to go before the world as champions of nice prejudice and white suprem acy. LETTER TO THE EDITOR TO THE EDITOR. , After reading your editorial which appeared in the Septem ber 13. 1958 issue. I was very impressed by the deep and sin cere interest shown in Hamp ton. However, in writing this editorial, you have overlooked the puint of view of those It ftf (eels most, the students them selves. It. I?, the students who decide what they will make their fields of endeavor. As a private; school, Hampton must he keenly aware of the Interests and the needs of these students and respond to then - desires. it is not important that w<* examine the goals of Hamp ton'.’, founders, as we ere pre paring for tomorrow, not yes'* terday. Also, we need not sug - gesl that the Hampton Trade alumnus of twenty years ago war unprepared to lead a pro ductive life in 1958, However, in looking at Hampton as it is now, a Hampton with only about 12 per cent of its stu deius majoring hi Architecture dents majoring in Technology tmcluding those students maj oring in Artechitecture and Building Construction Enginee ring >, if is quite obvious that if was necessary to make some adjustment to make our college the best in either of these areas; liberal arts or trades. To be best in both areas would be ideal, but it is ex tremely unlikely that either can be developed fully at the expense of the other. Throughout your editorial, you speak of the need for good tradesmen. This jS quite true. But, it scums to me that you have refused to mention the great need for men of our race in other fields. In a world of Little Rocks and Russias, it is especially important that we supply the great Negro leader ship ho urgently needed. It is the association with trained hands that has characterized us tar too long. Perhaps this nas atmouteri greatly to our status of second-class citizen ship today.
