It matters not which direction one goes, he can not help running into it. It is an individual decision either stay and add to it, or weave yourself out by growing in Grace daily. When children are born, they are born in hate, strife, malice, bigotry and everything else that goes into wrong. it is found in the homes, this is their first taste and ex perience. The mother and fa ther against each other. The first lesson is taught in homes. The child is carried to as semblies, the Church, Sunday School and find it there. He is carried to visit relatives and friends and finds it there. There isn't anyplace he can be carried free from this over Whelming evil. Later in his life, he is sent to public school and runs into diversities of home trainees. Some is rubbed off on him, he learns and picks up additional evils other than his own. Their forerunners, instruc tors, teachers and advisors came through these same chan nels and what he gets is only surface deep. In our Churches, the prin ciples are the same. How can we weave our way out of such a mess that has been deeply rooted in man since the be ginning of time? Man has lived In this atmosphere all of his life, it is now a part of him and it seems impossible for him to live any other way. There is a way out, but is man willing to make the nec essary sacrifices? He seems satisfied and occasionally be complains and condemns. It Is always the other fellow and not himself who is responsible. We speak about inflation, there is an end. We cannot go much further before reaching the end. The same is true in •pur society pertaining -to our sinning. How many of us will be prepared when the end comes? Man has just about reached his limits to curb these evils. Man can not find the solution to have better race relations. Our international relationship is at Its worse. Making laws seems to help but the answers are not there. Once we learn more about Jesus and what He stands for, the solutions will soon come. This Is not a task, just for a A Plea For Unified Action few but as many wQI take up the cross. Those of us who will take-up the cross, our job then is to find more and new re cruits for this army. To be a soldier in this army, are we willing to make the required sacrifices? Are we willing to give up wrong, hate for love, evil for good? These are just a few of many. If we can not and won't attempt to meet these and all of the quali fications, we can not be ac cepted. Most or all of us have heard, it has to be one hun dred because ninety nine and one half will not do . St. Luke 12:49-53, Christ gives us a vivid picture and it is up to us to get out of His Way. "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it be accom plished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, nay; but rather dividion: For from hencef9rth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be di vided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in -law against her daughter-in-law and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." Make up your mind that you are going all of the way if you have to go alone. If mother .won't go, you go on, if father, sister or brother won't go, don't let anyone hinder you, keep going. S. C.

After 41 years Theodus Lafayette Gunn '27 is abdi cating his kingdom - the Johnson C. Smith University Library. In July, Smith's first and only full time librarian will retire. In May, 1930 former J. C. Smith President P. L. Mc- Crorey gave Gunn the keys to the library upon Gunn's graduation from Hampton In stitute. He's been there every since, through five university presi dents, three ward, the great depression, and a major cam pis building program. And with total enthusiasm, he's loved every minute of it. Forty one years of dedica tion is only part of Gunn's love story with JCSU. The association is much deeper and longer in duration. It began in 1919, when Gunn came to Biddle Institute m a WFX !. I MRS. C. A. GUNN from Burlington, to gain a high school diploma. In 1923, diploma In hand, Gunn grad uated from the first class to pass under the banner of Johnson C. Smith University. In 1927, Gunn gained the B. A. from Smith and for a year worked in a Charlotte printing house. President McCrorey sent Gunn to Hampton's library school, and upop graduation in 1930 turned the keys over to the energetic, ever smiling youngster. For twenty years Gunn re mained a one man operation in JCSU's library. The task was enormous.. There were only 3,000 volumes when he took over, and most of tbem had to be discarded. (Continued on page 3B) Sen. Attacks State Law Designed To Protect The Poor SACRAMENTO, Calff. - Senator Marvyn Dymally, Chairman of the Senate's Subcommittee on Human Needs, charged today that state laws designed to protect poor families from abusive mortgage loan' practices, have failed miserable. As a result, thousands of low income families are forced to pay excessive fees, commis sions and interest charges and are "caught in a web of end less debt" to mortgage loan brokers, he said. Dymally's comments came as he released a 60-page report of the subcommittee dealing with abusive practices. The report documents how power ful mortgage broker firms are violating and circumventing the state's Mortgage Loan Brokers Law of 1955. The law was passed to set limits on fees and commis sions that could be charged by mortgage brokers, and re quired that lenders disclose terms of such loans to bor rowers. Primarily affected are the thousands of low income families, particularly in urban ghettos, who must borrow hy taking out liens and mortgages against their homes. Senator Dymally, of Los Angeles, said the report shows that a dozen large firms cen tered in the Los Angeles area, make 15,000 to 20,000 such loans each year. Most legislation designed plug loopholes and strengthen the law, has died in com mittees of the State Legisla ture', or been put over for "study," the report concludes. The report calls for better enforcement of the law's pro visions. But it points out that enforcement efforts by the State Division of Real Estate are hampered by a shortage of personnel. The report fur ther concludes that most mortgage loan brokers charged with violations* have been let Albany State Admissions Officer Becomes First Black To Head Ga. Ass'n Of Registrars ALBANY, Ga.
