CHRISTIANITY TESTS
ROCKY MOUNT—It is In
deed heartening to learn that
the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the
United States ‘commonly call
ed “Southern ”> has voted to In
tegrate its 13 Colored congre
gations with 2560 members into
the presbyteries of the mllUon
member total body.
If. as the Rev. John Miller of
Jackson. Mltsisippi, said: “This
type of coercion will put
onr 'Southern Presbyterians)
churches into a tailspln," per
haps it will be good for them.
In that they will go back to the
moaner’s bench and get really
converted, because no man (or
woman) can be a Christian who
says he or she does not want to
worship with God’s children of
darker skin. Remember the
master said: “Other sheep have
I. which are not of this told.”
God told Elijah to call not any
thing He had made unclean.
Miller was further quoted as
asking: why the rush now to
integrate the churches when
they have been constitutionally
segregated all these years? We
have news for him. It Just won’t
be another hundred years be
fore they will be glad to wor
ship. work and fight a common
enemy with Negroes helping
them. Consult Russia and
China.
Likewise, the Methodist
Church Is wrestling with its
soul tn an effort to Improve Its
standing along racial lines—as
I.* the Lutheran Churph. And,
blest. vour soul, the Baptist have
joined in the song against com
pulsory prayers (by law) In the
schools, all except former Oov.
Wallace of Alabama, 'whom we
didn’t think even believed in

segregationist views, i
It Is strange that many white*

reached our America (USA) af
ter four or five years coming

and Latin-American countries
of South America. Then even
nature's recent upheavals In
Alaska and other place*! Why.
Oh Why. are we so blind to the
realities of God s warning to us
Thy Neighbor As Thyself and
and His command to "Treat
to Love your Brothers?
But. In face of the efforts of
growing numbers of White* and
Colored who are trying to be

NOW
MRS. EVERS PICKS UP
MEDGAR'S MANTLE
RALEIGH lt is not so often
that a woman Is abl* to pull herself
together so quickly after her be
loved freedom-fighting husband has
been cowardly assasinated because
he contended for the equality of
his Negro people. Mrs. Myrlie (Med
gari Evers is a living example of
such dynamic unspoiled woman
hood without any show of ostenta
tion whatever.
The 3,000 or more Tarheelians
who saw and heard her Sunday in
Memorial auditorium here at the
lower end of Fayetteville Street
in bell-sound of the Tar Heel Capi
tol building—as she plead with Ne
groes to get off their 'sit-downs’
and begin 'moving around' the bal
lot box and got registered to vote
such Congressmen and Senators, as
well as Legislators and County of
ficials who failed to harken to their
pleas for full freedom and job op
poitunities and better housing, a
long with non - discriminatory
schooling.
Interrupted some 25 or more times
with applause, Mrs. Evers stated
that in spite of Colored people in
“Ole Sippi" having to “pay taxes
to be watched; to be harassed; to be
beaten: even killed; with only n
small amount left of their meager
earnings for their own living— we
are rot going to stop fighting”
"We want to enjoy the fullness of
person and of property, and de
spite the klans. police dogs and
brutality, v e expect to keep on
fighting until we get it", she said
Mr*. Evers flayed the State Sover
eignity Committee which, she said,
has spent more than SIOO,OOO in
sending segregrationlxt progaganda
over the Nation in a vigorous at
tempt to offset civil rights gains
and legislation before Congress.
Instead of talking and wishing for
better things to come, Mrs. Evers
said: "If you have the VOTE you
don't have to shout or beg to be
heard, because your ballot—and
your dollar wisely spent or with
held—can be HEARD BY A WHIS
PER.
Then the speaker stunned her
listeners with the query as to “How
many of you, who, after making
all kind* of promises after the
deaths of Medgar Evers and Presi
dent John F. Kennedy HAVE KEPT
THEM? How well have you KEPT
those promise* by increasing your
activity for NAACP’a freedom
fight’"
"IF YOU MAKE PROGRESS
AND THEN ARE LULLED TO
SLEEP BY THAT PROCRESS
YOU HAVENT ADVANCED AT
ALL,” Mrs. Ever concluded.

We must sow good seeds today
To reap good seeds tomorrow

And when we sow good seeds
Today, we reap with joy
Tomorrow but when we sow
Bad seeds today we reap with J
Sorrow tomorrow.
