The Supreme Court And The Bible
"Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy."
As recorded in the 20th Chapter of Exodus, 8th verse, this
is one of the Ten Commandments the Lord spoke to Moses on
Mount Sinai.
Upon that Biblical Commandment has rested many a controversy
as to what a person should or should not do on Sunday.
Nations and states throughout history have made laws to
govern activities and conduct of citizens on that day. Social customs
and traditions have been based on it.
The United States Supreme Court, whose rulings and interpretations
have many times been the subject of heated controversy,
and whose rulings have affected and changed the
conduct and habits of the millions of this nation, will now for
the first time give its learned judicial interpretation of this Holy
Admonition.
At issue are the "Blue taws" of three states, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and Maryland, which date back to the Colonial
days of the ducking stool, and particularly restrict Sunday retail
business activities.
In agreeing to hear argument in the cases and render rulings
sometime next October, the Supreme Court was opening
up for review what could be a Pandora's box of religious, social,
end even labor controversy. It was the first time the high court
had acknowledged that a federal question of constitutionality
was involved in the "Blue Laws" which have existed in various
forms in many states and cities in America.
In conflict are the laws, which have been revised often
since colonial days to meet the needs of Twentieth Century modes
of living, that govern Sunday drivers, super markets, drug
stores, places of entertainment, and other commercial complexities
of modern day America.
So, the nation's highest tribunal will study and rule, and
the people of this law-abiding nation will find in years to come
their folkways and mores molded to conform with this ruling.

African Freedom Is On The March
In recent years the World has witnessed an incredible march
of African territories toward freedom, independence, and human
dignity. When the first informal organization of independent
African states was formed in April, 1958, there were altogether
only eight such countries.
All but two of them — Liberia and Ghana — were strung
along the northern fringes of the continent from Morocco to
Ethiopia. Since then Guinea has been added on January 1,
Cameroon became free, and last week, what was once French
Togoland, became the free and independent republic of Togo.
In an amazing, practically bloodless revolution, no less than
seven African countries are scheduled to gain their independence
this year of 1960. These are: Belgian Congo, Somalia, the Malagasy
Republic, the Mali Federation, and Nigeria.
All totaled this new freedom and self government will include
more than 200 million black people, who for centuries
have been dominated, exploited, and even enslaved by foreign
nations.
To the north of this vast expanse of independent African
nations is Algeria where there is savage war in progress, and
to the South, in the Union of South Africa, bloody racial conflict
looms on the horizon.
These new nations will naturally go through the turmoil
and inner conflicts that accompany birth pains and growing
paths. They will be wooed for alliances with other nations, and
therein lies the great challenge to America and the western
World. Will these new, independent, African nations lean toward
Russia and Communism for assistance, or will they embrace
democracy as a way of life?
Much of this depends on what we in America do or do not
do in the next few years. We are at this moment at a crossroads
in our relations with these black peoples of Africa. We as a
nation can turn to them for our own good and theirs; or we
can turn our batiks on them, so to speak, and allow them to become
fast friends with our enemies.
Certainly they will be skeptical about accepting our warm
hand of friendship, if in this country they continue to find their
block cousins discriminated against despite tremendous improvement
of our status in recent years.
We can turn to them with our money, financial help in
building their industries and developing their natural resources,
as we have done in our foreign aid programs with so many
other nations. We can give them the benefits of our civilization,
our knowledge and techniques. And we can convince them of
our sincerity in the brotherhood of man by demonstrating the
absence of legal discrimination in this great nation.

Know What You're Voting For
Newsweek, in urging all citizens to vote, says: "If you can
spend a few minutes each day using hair tonic to save your
hair, can't you spend a few minutes each year aL the polls to
save your scalp."
Every vote is important. Many elections have been decided
by a mere handful of votes. And, in instance after instance, this
has amounted to election by minority—for the reason that only
half the qualified voters or less troubled to go to the polls.
Another thing needs to be added. An ignorant vote is as
bad or Worse than no vote at all. Study the candidates and
their platforms. Consider their integrity, character, sincerity.
Measure their ideas in terms of freedom, opportunity, and the
traditions and principles on which the American system of government
has been built.
Yes, vote—in every election, minor or major, that is open
to you. And make sure it is an informed vote.

Mobile and Tampa Get Negro Bus Drivers
Two Southern cities in recent days have witnessed the appointment
of Negroes to bus driver jobs. The Mobile, Alabama,
transit system was first announced, then Tampa, Florida, with
two drivers in each city. These two cities, and those responsible
for the appointments are to be congratulated for lifting the
discriminations to this extent against their Negro citizens.
Atlanta, too, would do well to quickly follow suit in this
matter. A great percentage of he riders on public buses and
trolleys are Negroes. Several lines which service Negro communities
have over ninety per cent Negro passengers. Surely
there could be some consideration on the basis of patronage.

Brief Comment
Millions of youngsters can tell you exactly how many school
days are left at this stage of the game.

THE LAND IS BRIGHT

CAPTAIN Colin Campbell wanted
to visit his own home,
Campbell Hill, before he left for
Richmond, and he must have a
glimpse of Ann Stewart to carry
back with him. He proposed to
his sister-in-law, Bettie, that she
should come with him—it would
be a change for her and their last
chance to be together. And, once
there, he hoped to persuade her
to stay.
Betsie came with him gladly.
Their progress was slow on the
old horses at their disposal—they
had, in fact, to change horses at
Wetherly—and they talked of
many things. A little color crept
into Betsie's cheeks and a smile
played on her lips as they recalled
happier times. And, finally, something
ot the old teasing Betsie
came back as she asked Colin,
"How is Ann Stewart?"
"That is my most important
reason for coming."
"I thought so. You haven't
changed then?"
"No. I think I never will."
"I can't blame you, She is a
rare person and a lovely one."
Colin had only a few hours to
spend at Campbell Hill, and he
had much to do. First, he sent
Zack for McDonald Murdoch's
wife, a stolid woman whose silent
sorrow might bp a comfort to
Hope Tyler. Then he look the
two women into his study and
told them gently that their husbands
had been Killed and that
they had died bravely in helping
to secure a Confederate victory
As he had thought, the two
widows, one young and timid, the
other middle-aged and phlegmatic,
each gained comfort from
companionship.
Then he took time to visit a
little with Zack and Nell and Dab
and Elva, to pat Robin on the
nose and offer him a carrot and
to examine Dab's vegetable garden
and Nell's rose bushes.
Campbell Hill, at least, was thriving.

At last he went to Ann. To his
surprise, he met her halfway to
the Stewart clearing. She sat beneath
a huge pine as if she were
waiting.
"Ann!" he called In astonishment.

She smiled at him as he hastily
dismounted and came to her side.
"I knew you were coming, Colin.
Those hounds of yours don't bark
like that for anyone but you."
He could only look and look at
her, her cheeks flushed with
pleasure and her eyes sparkling
with excitement. As she gazed
back at him, the smile slowly
faded from her lips and she said,
"Colin, what is it? You look almost
ill. What has happened?"
"It's not Ling," he assured her
quickly, sitting down beside her.
"He was fine four days ago when
I last saw him." He went on to
tell her about Dynamite Hill, and

about Ralph and his father. She
watched him anxiously.
"Oh, how terrible!" she said
softly when he had finished. "I'm
so sorry for you, Colin, and for
Betsie and your brother. And for
Hope and—" She fought to keep
back her tears, closing her eyes
in the effort.
Colin's arms were around her
and they clung to one another in
tenderness and sorrow, wordless
at first and then murmuring all
the endearments they had held
back for so long.
At the sound of a twig cracking,
they drew apart hastily.
Why must he conceal, Colin
thought bitterly, a feeling that
was as natural to him as breathing?
In a moment Ann's father,
Enos Pollard, came into view, a
rifle slung over his shoulder. To
Colin's amazement, he called out
a greeting and waved to them before
disappearing into the woods.
Colin turned to Ann. "Your father
is a different person," he
said. "What has happened to
him?"
Ann smiled; "Yes," she said,
"that is the only good result of
the war that I can think of. Evidently
the responsibility that was
put on him when Ling went away
has slowly strengthened his mind.
Soon after Ling left he began to
do things—little things at first—
on his own. Now he's so much
recovered that he often tells me
what to do. I've always believed
this would happen some day."
"That's the best possible news
I could take back to Ling. How
are the boys? He'll want to know
all about them. I wish I had
time to see them myself but I
have to leave Denbury for Richmond
tonight."
"Tell him the boys are fine.
I've taught Jeffrey to read and
Lingo is growing like a weed.
We've acquired a wife for their
dog and the puppies are due now.
The boys are terribly excited
about that. But they miss Ling
and talk of him all the time."
"I'll tell him, Ann." He took
her hand. "I must start back now
Will yon walk with me to Campbell
Hill? Betsie is there and I
know she would like to ace yon.
I'm hoping to persuade her to
stay there now that she's alone
at Quail Wings."
"Oh, I wish she would. Yes. I'll
walk with you."
Just before they reached the
clearing at Campbell Hill, they
turned to one another to make
their real farewell. It was word
less—they dared nut speak what
their wildly beating hearts would
have them say. They clung to
gether in one brief, desperate
embrace. The past was dead; the
future might not exist. Because
of the terrible yesterdays and the
threatening tomorrows, they
would be forgiven this moment.
Ling Stewart worried when he
went into a fight. He did not

worry for himself, or that he
might be killed, because every
creature that did not die naturally
was sure to be killed. But,
without him, what would happen
to his wife Ann and their two
sons? That was the question tormenting
him. Although Anna
father had recovered, he was not
a young ma; he couldn't he depended
on.
A dozen times he had tried to
talk to Colin Campbell about Ann,
but he could not. One man did
not tell another man, "I know
you're in love with my wife. I
saw it in your eyes before you
knew it yourself. I can't blame
you because I'm in love with her,
too, though I never knew how
much till I had to go away from
her. If I knew you would take
care of Ann and our sons. I would
rest easy in my mind, no matter
how many fights I got into."
A man did not say such things,
and, unsaid, they weighed on
Ling.
Not even his deep anxiety for
his family drove Ling to the brink
of insanity like the deadly routine
of camping during the long
waits between battles. To escape
that maddening inactivity, he and
his two companions, Watt Sackett
and Tracey Hamlin, were now
twenty miles behind Union lines,
flirting openly with death. If
they were caught, they instantly
would be shot. The rules of war
did not apply to raiders who gave
up the protection of a uniform
for the obscurity of ordinary dark
clothing. Colin had forbidden
these raids, but he had yet to find
a way to prevent them.
The night was dimly lit by a
thin slice ot moon which shone
through occasional openings in
fleecy white clouds. They were
not storm clouds but they presaged
a storm. A thin, cold wind
plucked ghoulishly at the few
leaves left, on the artillery-battered
trees. A fire winked in the
distance. Did men huddle around
it for cheer and warmth? Or
was it a trap, a decoy to lure
night-raiding Reba into the rifle
fire of alert Yankees?
Ling's hand stole to the sheathed
knife at his belt. A knife was
the best weapon for this sort of
work: shooting attracted attention
and any action was certain
to he at close quarters. At the
same time. Ling wondered uneasily
what had come over him.
Running the forest at home, he
i had never bothered to feel his
knife or look to his rifle, for he
had always known whether the
knife was there, whether the rifle
was loaded, and if it needed fresh
priming. They wore merely minor
details that had never worried
him. The change went far deeper.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
By
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH

It was while the soldiers were throwing dice that Jesus
looked down from His cross and saw that He was not alone. His
mother was there. With infinite tenderness He called to John,
"Behold your Mother."
Yes, let us behold "Mother," How
beautiful motherhood is. The baby
is in her arms. He lies on her
bosom. His chubby fingers play in
her hair. His cheek is against her
cheek. His arms around her neck.
His little feet trample her lap. Long
before he can talk, his dimples,
like tiny mouths, speak of his love for
her. What a picture! The mother
and her child. Nothing this side
of Heaven can match the beauty
of the mother with her baby in
her arms.
How wonderful is motherhood.
There is no limit to mother's sacrifices.
Her arms never tire, her
fingers never grow weary. Her
ministries never strain the soul.
The only explanation is love.
How divine is motherhood. Mother's
hand will reach through prison
bars to touch her boy's hand,
and while an agony like that of
death grips her heart, her eyes look

into his as they did in the cradle
days in his little crib. Nothing can
change mother however son or
daughter may change.
When every one else ceases to
think of son or daughter, mother
ceases to think of every one else.
You will hear mother singing her
crooning cradle song when the child
has long since been listening to the
songs of angels.
Songs and daughters thank God
for mothers. "Mother" is the holiest
name in human speech except
the name of God, who pities like
a father, who comforts like a mother
and who loves like both.
A mother, Mary, stood at the
foot of the cross. The darkening
indigo sky lost its deep violet blue
and turned to deep blackness. But
mother was there. She saw her
son for the sins of the world, your
sins, my sins. Mother was in the
garden, the cemetery, early the

first Easter. His aunt was there,
too. They found the stone gone
from the entrance of Jesus' grave.
They heard the words: "He is risen,
go tell."
Mother is always there.
If mother's soul has winged it's
flight to mansions in the sky,
So live that angels may bear this
message "Tell mother I'll be there."

Behold Mother

Use It Or Lose It
By REV. LOUISE LYNOM
TEXT: The Lord is the strength
of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid?—(Psalm 27:1).
When we consider faith we can
realize it is essential to all life.
With out faith it is impossible to
please God. This
text shows that
faith is the source
— the support —
and success of
life.
1. Faith is the
Source of Life.
"By faith, only
by faith in the
Lord Jesus can
one attain unto
eternal life. He
that believeth on
the Lord Jesus
Christ can be saved and have
eternal life. Real life begins with
faith in the Lord.

"Shall live by faith." Faith in
the Lord and His power to help
is the support of life. Faith is the
force that supports life and sustains
life unto the end. Faith enriches
life; Faith enlarges life.
Faith enables life. Faith increases
life.

"The righteous shall live by
faith." Faith is the force that leads
on to righteousness. Believe that
Christ will appropriate his grace.
Without grace and faith it is impossible
to please God. Let us repeat
each day of our lives, because
my heart trusts in Christ, I am
helped in every hour of need. Come
into my heart, Lord Jesus, there
is room in my heart for Thee.
PRAYER: Gracious Master, help
us to be willing, always, to give
Him our love and friendship every
moment of our lives. Help us to be
faithful to Thee each day. I pray.
Amen.

DeGaulle Praises
Josephine Baker

After viewing her performance
with surprise and delight, President
DeGaulle told Miss Baker, who is
now a French citizen, that he was
proud of her. He said:
"I am deeply indebted and grateful
to you for being a faithful and
sincere DeGaullist, and am proud
to have you share this honor with
us in Washington."
Later, the DeGaulles placed Miss
Baker near them in the receiving
line. As she stood beside them,
Mme. DeGaulle admired her "tres
Chic" Dior ensemble and remarked:

"You are good publicity for
France, ma chere."
It is said that Miss Baker, who
was born in St. Louis, Mo., entered
politics in World War II when the
Free French resistance to Nazi occupation
was born at her chateau
Les Milandes in Dordogne. It was
perhaps to this that President DeGaulle
referred in praising her sincerity
as a DeGaullist.
During the reception, President
DeGaulle also took time out to inquire
about Miss Baker's 11 adopted
children of different racial background.
He has met the children.

new law will play an important role
in the days ahead in attaining our
goal of equality under law in all
areas of our country for all Americans."

The President singled out the
heart of the measure as being especially
meaningful.
It authorizes federal judges to
appoint referees to determine
the voting qualifications of Negroes
whom local officials refuse to register.
This would be done after the
Justice Department Won a court
test in behalf of one or more Negroes
denied the right to register.
If the judge eventually decided
that a pattern of discrimination
existed in an area, he could name
referees to handle voting applications
from other Negroes. Any official
refusing to let court-certified
Negroes vote would be guilty of
contempt of court.
The President said this section
held "great promise of making the
15th Amendment to the Constitu
tion
meaningful."
The amendment assures all citizens
the right to vote regardless of
race or color:
The law also:
—Requires local election officials
must keep all voting records for 22
months after any primary, special
or general election involving candidates
for federal office. They
must make the records available to
the Justice Department. Violators
are subject to a maximum penalty
of a year in prison and a $1,000
fine.
—Makes it a federal crime to obstruct
or interfere with any federal
court order, including school integration
orders — and antl - strike
injunctions — by threats or force.
The provision carries a maximum
penalty of a year in prison and a
$1,000 fine.
—Makes it a federal crime to
cross state lines to avoid prosecution,
or testimony about, the bombing
or burning of any vehicle or
building. Violators would face a
penalty of five years in prison and
a. $5,000 fine. A second part of this
section makes it illegal to transport
explosive for such bombing. This
carries a maximum penalty of 10
years and a $10,000 fine if personal
injury results. Threats or false
warnings of bombings are punishable
up to a year in prison and a
$1,000 fine.
—The U. S. commissioner to arrange
for the schooling of servicemen's
children when local schools
are closed in integration disputes.
