The Rev. Tecumseh
C. Hamans, beloved
pastor of Manly St.
United Church of Christ,
shocked hi shearers last
Sunday morning with his
undated resignation.
After thirty-seven years of
untiring service, the minister
began feeling the stress of age.
“I’m not walking out on the
church,” said the minister. He
stated that he was willing tc
continue until a successor could
be found. He expressed admira
tion for the church at large,
the “Deacon Board, the choir,
every individual member and
all the children.”
Rev. Hamans came to Manly
Street Church in 1933. At once,
he set himself to build for him
self and the church, the kind of
congregation and facility which
he felt might serve tne needs
of the area and the city, His
accomplishments toward that
end are legend. A church sta

a rape case against a young white woman, while
'a Negro man was convicted and sentenced to
life imprisonment in the same case, two weeks

year-old white man, and Elmo
Barbee a 21-year-old black
man, were charged with’ the A

Black Caucus Not
Surprised At All
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Con
gressman John Conyers, Jr.,
of Michigan and other black
members of Congress last week
commented on the Report of the
Civil R'ights Commission.
Conyers said, “This report
comes as no surprise to us.
It i‘ further evidence that the
racist attitudes in our socie
ty are a direct result of the
failure of the Federal Gov
ernment to effectively en
force legislation already on the
books, legislation which could
discourage a great deal of the
racism that presently exists.
“Due of the most frustrat
ing aspects of my career as a
Congressman is to participate
in the legislative battles that
finally result in additional civil
rigi'-s laws only to see them
< signed to the library shelves
to collect dust.
“The Civil Rights Commis
sion Report is another one In a
series which accurately ex
amines the efforts being made
in nearly every Federal a
gertcy in connection with race
relations. This 1,115 page Re
port can be summed up by stat
ing that very little has been ac
complished by the majority of
selves,” with priorities among
needs to be developed by the
ethnic minorities involved,
Last April's General Con
ference ordered a re-direc
tion of priorities within the
church’s basic benevolence
and program budget (World
Service, totaling $25,000,000
annually), reducing other a
gencies’ funds to provide up to
$2,000,000 in each of 1971 and
