He Is Risen, As He Said
Millions of people will lay aside their regular routine duties
and go to the church of their choice to join in with those who
are celebrating the Risen Saviour Sunday, April 17.
According to Biblical history, Christ was a controversial
Figure. He was hated by the ruling classes of His day. He interfered 
with their program of selfishness and hate when He began 
to perform miracles. He healed the sick, raised the dead,
brought sight to the blind and pardoned an adulterous woman
who is said to have been caught in the very act. His many
activities while on earth built for Him many powerful enemies.
The aristocracy of His day and the ruling classes opposed Him
and became so fed up with His activities that they planned a
master plot to destroy Him by crucifixion. He was subjected to
a fake trial from Palm Sunday up to Friday evening, the day
of His crucifixion.
Some of the charges against Him were that He was a
heretic, He was preaching heresy; He was violating the law of
Moses and many other things. During the fake trial that carried
Him from one ruler to another, one in particular said: "I find
no fault with this man," After the fake trial was completed, He
was turned over to His enemies and on Friday evening He
yielded up the ghost by being crucified on Golgotha's cross between 
two thieves. His power was so great that He stopped
dying long enough to save a sinner and a criminal who were
hanging on the cross beside Him.
They stuck spears in His sides, nailed His hands to the
cross; spat on Him and finally He yielded up the ghost and was
buried. They thought that when they had buried Him that was
the end, that they were through with the Christ, as He was
called. And to be absolutely certain that there would be no
misgivings about it, they secured the governor's seal and planted 
watchmen about the sepulcher. After completing that task
they rejoiced within themselves that they had rid their community 
of an enemy.
But in three days He arose from the grave, notwithstanding
the fact that the watchmen were on guard 24 hours per day.
On Sunday morning, the enemies, making a routine check on
the sepulchre where Christ was buried, found the grave open
but some of Christ's sympathizers and worshippers were there.
The question was asked, "Where is He?" The answer was given,
"He is Risen as he said."
In these days of uncertainty, of trials and tribulations when
the masterminds 61 both the Eastern and western hemispheres
seem to be at a loss as to what is best to do, the answer is
crystal clear. If all the people possess the Spirit of the Risen
Christ, the troubles, the trials and tribulations that people are
encouraging throughout the length and breadth of the world
would vanish like the dew before the mid-day sun.
On this Easter Day join with your fellow citizens and worship 
God's Son. If you have not His Spirit in your heart try to
get it. You will solve your problems, the nation's problems and
the world's problems.

The African Situation
From the turmoil's of the Far East and Soviet propaganda,
the attention of the world turns on the terrible African situation. 
Hardly any statesman of standing, any country of recognized 
stability and native integrity has failed to protest the
brutal treatment of African natives being shot down in the street
and beaten in public places.
A few days ago the conscience of the world became aroused, 
at the account of rigid requirements of all non-whites to
wear tags to identify them for spurious reasons. The affair became 
so disgraceful, the UN is moving in on the awful outrages 
shocking the world and discrediting civilization.
As said in these columns before, as regrettable as the crisis
may be, maybe it is well that something at last has aroused the
conscience of civilization to the brutal treatment that has been
accorded native Africans.
Two significant facts stand out in the whole affair: (1)
While world attention has frowned in condemnation upon
this treatment of African natives, only in their own immediate
self-defense have the Negroes moved into the area of open
struggle.
(2) If is well and widely known by now that three-fourths
of the people on this earth belong to the darker races. There
are upward of 400,000,000 in India alone, to say nothing about
the darker people in the Far East, America and in the islands
of the seas.
Cognizant of this fact, there will still be seen the workings
of the Mahatma in his pattern of non-violence. That is the way
the people of India whipped their oppressors.
Civilization is too old now and the civilized peace loving
nations are too much of its mood to long tolerate what is discounting 
organized governments and Christianity at a time
when these two are the last frontiers, left to guard the peace
of the world.
Maybe some good might come through the aroused spirit
of nations looking on at brutality, oppression and penalties
levied against people for something that God himself placed
upon them.
Protest meetings against the outrages in South Africa are
planned for New York City and other communities in the nation.
We think this is a good idea for every community in the nation
to copy. No just protest is ever lost!

Fact finding boards will have a
busy time this year calculating the
cause and effect of the college student 
in the Southern sit-ins. Before 
the ballots are computed by
these fact finding boards certain
Observation have become obvious to
citizens throughout the South.
The complacent Negro has been
shocked out of his state of apathy
into the role of a conscious striver 
for his individual freedom: and
the white man is faced with the
problem of reckoning with this
"New Negro," who is reluctant to
accept second class citizenship as
fair.
If education is one of the major
sources of the strengths that make
men free, we can ill afford to pass
these collegians actions off as the
fad for the year.
That the student is an important 
component of the educational 
community which has as its basic 
objective the development of
the intellect cannot be denied. However, 
only if there is a growing
sense of common goals on the part
of-our-community leaders and willingness 
on the part of our City
Commission to accept personal responsibility 
for the achievement of
these goals, can racial harmony be
achieved.
The acceptance of this responsibility 
means there must be a wide
participation of all citizens in local
government. Such participation is
justified not only for the intellectual 
but for the social growth of
the individual.
We suggest that the City Commission 
and Negro civic leaders invite 
college students in to the conference 
table to obtain their views
on the ever pressing problem of
race relations. It is time that the
community take into consideration
the integral positions of the college 
student.
The substantial contribution the
student can make to educational
decisions because of his unique
position as consumer of the education 
process cannot be taken
lightly. The freshness of his thinking 
and approach, and the directness 
of his concern will provide
unique insight into policy formulation. 

Through his representation of student 
viewpoints in policy deliberation 
and by communicating final
policy decisions to the student body
the student can enhance the future 
growth of our community.
Let's not turn our backs to the
college student in solving our immediate 
problems.

Seek Release For
Dr. Willard Uphaus
The Board of
Social and Economic Relations of
The Methodist Church, with headquarters 
here, has petitioned the
State of New Hampshire for the
release of Dr. Willard Uphaus, a
Methodist layman, who is now
serving his fourth month in a New
Hampshire jail, for conscience sake.
He was committed last Dec. 14,
after a four-year court battle, for
his refusal to turn over to the
attorney general of that State,
Louis C. Wyman, the names of
guests at the World Fellowship
summer camp at Conway, N. H.
Dr. Uphaus, who is director of that
organization, consistently maintained 
that to give the names in
the context of an inquiry into subversion 
would subject innocent people 
to reprisal and would violate
his rights and theirs under the
First Amendment.
The Methodist Board's resolution,
which was sent to Governor Wesley
Powell, and the presiding judge,
George R. Grant, Jr., of the Superior 
Court of Merrimack County, 
based the request for clemency
on those same grounds. The Board
held that Dr. Uphaus, a "fellow
Methodist of high personal integrity 
and Christian commitment"
is being held in custody "in violation 
of basic freedoms guaranteed 
by the First and Fourteenth
Amendments to the Constitution
of the United States and affirmed
by the Social Creed of The Methodist 
Church.
This is the first action, at the
national level by a Protestant
group, but many prominent churchmen 
in this country and abroad,
and many church peace and civil
liberties groups are likewise seeking 
clemency.

An Open Letter To
Pan-Hellenic Council
Many months ago the Epsilon
Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi
Fraternity agreed to lend its support 
to the pan-Hellenic Council
in its efforts to entertain the visiting 
Zeta Phi Beta Sorors during
their regional meeting. However, at
that time we did not know that
the climate in relation to freedom
would be attuned in its present direction. 

During the past few weeks many
individuals have sacrificed themselves 
for the cause of freedom.
Many of our young college students
have been jailed because of the decision 
to rise to the high level of
courage and moral conviction required 
to fight for principles of
equality and brotherhood. Many
supporters of these young people
have taken vows of self-denial to
aid them in this fight to rid this
southland cancerous growths of segregation 
and discrimination, for
in so doing, they perform a patriotic 
function of furthering the position 
of leadership that this great
nation now aspires to in the worldwide 
battle of ideologies.
Therefore, the official body of
this fraternity has determined that
we cannot in good conscience lend

our presence to any public social
function that is not some way
associated with this fight for freedom 
and human dignity.

CAPTAIN Colin Campbell rode
Robin into Wetherly at halfpast 
nine on a Tuesday morning.
He wore a new and expensively
tailored uniform; he was determined 
to do everything properly.
But everything seemed to go
wrong.
A captain, he thought uneasily,
should be preceded by drummers
and accompanied by smart troops.
The only articles on Hobbs Creek
which even resembled military
drums were a couple of tom-toms
that Bedloe Hamlin had supposedly 
captured in Indian fights. As
for Colin's troops, not one of them
had seen any sense in taking the
road to Wetherly when he might
hunt on his way down. Colin had
wisely granted them permission
to go on their own; had he not
done so, his men would have
hunted anyway.
As Colin tied Robin to a hitching 
post in front of William Bodine's 
store, he heard snickering
among the loafers who spent their
days chewing and gossiping on
the broad steps of the store.
"Is something bothering you
gentlemen?" Colin demanded.
"No, Cap'n," one Bald, "we jes'
wondered if—if—"
"If what?"
"If you was aimin' to fight this
here war all by yourself?"
Colin stalked proudly into the
store, hoping by hauteur to cover
his self-consciousness. A captain
without troops did look silly, and
Colin was sure that he felt even
sillier. He squared his shoulders
and waited for William Bodine
to come to meet him.
"Ah! Captain Campbell! It's a
pleasure to meet you again!"
Evidently Bodine chose to ignore 
the circumstances of their
last meeting in court. "Thank
you," Colin shook the proffered
hand. "I've been advised that you
will provide me barracks."
"Ah, yes," Bodine shook his
head and clucked his tongue.
"And a melancholy task it is preparing 
for this tragic war. But
we must do what we can to make
sure the South will win! Then,
after we have subjugated the
North's physical resources by
force of arms, we must conquer
its mind by force of our intellectual 
powers. Only by so doing
may we insure that this catastrophe 
will never recur."
Colin remained silent In addition 
to being a successful merchant 
and a proved liar, he decided, 
William Bodine was also
extremely pompous.
Bodine said, "I'd volunteer myself 
if I were younger. How many
troops do you have, Captain?"
"Twelve at the present time."
His original eleven had been augmented 
by the woods-runner,
Johnny Mossmoss, who joined as

soon as he was assured, there
would be fighting.
"There'll be more!" Bodine said
fervently. "The young men of
Weatherly will show themselves
to be true in this crisis! Jason
Maxwell has at least twelve more
who are pledged to join. By the
way, Captain, you will accept
Jason?"
"Isn't he club footed?"
"Yes, but he has made a thorough 
study of the military and
has done splendid work in training 
the boys. Surely you could
use him in some capacity?"
Colin answered dubiously, "We
should have none except ablebodied 
men."
"Oh, Captain Campbell! Surely
you'll need a clerk or an orderly
or could use Jason in some other
way where his abilities will
help?"
"We'll see." Colin looked sharply 
at Bodine but refrained from
telling him that Darnley Hamlin
and Tom Garrison were both older 
than he and that there was
certainly a place for William Bodine, 
too, if his views were so
patriotic. "Now, the barracks?"
"Ah, yes. Your personal quarters 
will be in my home, Captain.
Are your men outside?"
"They haven't arrived yet. I—
I had them deploy on both sides
of the road to scout their way
down. It's part of their training."
Bodine nodded. "Commendable.
Commendable, indeed." He called,
"Lena!" and a middle-aged woman 
appeared from the back room.
"Take over the store, will you,
Lena? I must escort Captain
Campbell to the barracks I have
procured."
As they left the store, a breathless 
pink-cheeked youth rushed
up to Colin. "Cap'n, sir! Kin I
j'ine up?"
Colin looked at him kindly.
"How old are you, son?"
"Six—nineteen, sir."
"Sixteen, aren't you?"
"I'm almost nineteen," the boy
mumbled. "Paw, he wouldn't let
me j'ine up till a sure enough
sojer come. He says Jase Maxwell 
might know what he's doin'
but he ain't the real army."
Colin sighed. The whirlwind,
in full force, was sweeping children 
and cripples alike before it.
"What's your name, son?"
"Clem Faraday, sir."
"And your father will give his
permission?"
"Oh, yes! He wants to j'ine
up his self."
"Then bring your father to—"
Colin glanced questioningly at
William Bodine.
"Clayton's barn will be barracks 
for the Weatherly unit."
"I'll come!"
Clem Faraday whirled and
dashed off. Colin untied Robin
and walked beside William Bodine 
leading his horse. The mer
chant 
said happily, "I told you
there'd be more."
"He's too young to go to war,"
Colin said angrily.
''He can shoot," Bodine answered, 
and Colin found himself
heartily disliking this man whom
he had previously and impersonally 
known as a trickster.
Soon they arrived at Clayton's
barn, a massive unpainted structure 
that had been used as a
stable.
"There it is," Bodine said
proudly, "and a hard time I had
buying it at a reasonable price."
Colin looked hard at the wide
gaps between the buckled siding
on the barn, at the holes in the
roof where shingles had blown
off, at the hay protruding from
the hayloft. He sniffed and knew
the stabling had not been cleaned.
"This!" he exploded. "A place
for human beings!"
"You'll have private quarters
in my house."
"No, thanks, Mr. Bodine! I'll
stay with my then. Go home and
count the fat profit you must
have made when you sold this
wreck to the Confederate Army."
"Don't boss me around!" Bodine
flared. "I'm not one of your recruits 
and this is not Denbury
court!" And he stalked off indignantly. 

Blast Bodine! Colin glared after 
him. He knew, however, that
no war had ever been fought or
ever would be fought without
great numbers of profiteers, Bodine 
was not the only profiteer
in the South and doubtless his
counterpart existed in the North.
Meanwhile, the barn must serve
as the Weatherly barracks.
He put Robin in a box stall,
removed the saddle and the bridle
and carefully stood his 58 Worthington 
in a corner. He turned
grimly to examine further the
Weatherly barracks. Soon he felt
better. The shingles that had
blown off could be nailed back on,
and it was a warm spring. The
hay would be useful as bedding,
as well as food for Robin and
any other horses or mules they
might acquire. But they needed
blankets, cooking utensils, food
and many other things. Above all,
the place needed cleaning.
"Captain Campbell!"
Colin turned to see Jason Maxwell 
standing in the door. He was
in his mid-forties and of medium
height and stocky physique. His
sandy hair was streaked with
grey and his eyes glowed with
joy. All his life he had dreamedof 
being a soldier, and now he
thought his dream was close to
realization.

Rev. Borders Pays
Tribute To F.D.R.

Mr. Roosevelt, who died near the
climax of World War II after
guiding this nation's success
against its enemies, was also the
Founder of the March of Dimes
which has helped thousands of sufferers 
from Infantile Paralysis.
The tribute to Mr. Roosevelt
came from the Rev. William
Holmes Borders, pastor of Wheat
Street Baptist Church, who took
a choir of 16 picked voices to the
memorial upon invitation of C. F.
Palmer, chairman of the Memorial
Commission.
Rev. Borders was called upon to
deliver a talk in which he gave a
background of his church's associations 
with Mr. Roosevelt. The
Wheat Street choir often sang for
the President on his trips to Georgia. 

Rev. Borders declared that "By
a comprehensive standard the 32nd
President of the United States,
Farnklin Delano Roosevelt, is rated
as one of the ten greatest men of
the Twentieth Century."
He told the memorial audience
that "during the last world war,
he was the greatest single person
on earth," and declared that:
"Prior to that time, starving
millions looked to him for bread.
Other millions in slums looked to
him for shelter. Thousands, yes
millions of youth looked to him
for education. The jobless looked
to him for better wages. The crash
of Wall Street in '29 heard around
the world and the subsequent de

The minister declared that
Roosevelt "touched for good so
many men, women and children at
all levels of life that his physical
death stabbed the hearts of men,
brought tears to the eyes of women
and stopped the laughter of children. 

"His presence in Warm Springs
made this place holy," Rev. Borders 
said and added, "It is left to
us to further implement his ideals
that this Democracy shall lead the
free world to heights beyond fear,
disease, poverty and ignorance for
all the sons of men who inhabit
the earth."
A highlight of the memorial was
the acceptance of the Roosevelt
"Finished Portrait" from Mrs.
Elizabeth Shoumatoff.

Tax Deadline
Extended To
Monday, April 18
Government 
tax collectors yielded to
mounting pressure Wednesday and
extended the deadline for filing
federal income tax returns from
Friday midnight until midnightMonday, 
April 18.
The Internal Revenue Service
granted the three-day grace period
because the original April 15 deadline 
falls this year on Good Friday,
a legal holiday in 13 states and
three U. S. possessions.
Under the law, taxpayers in these
16 areas automatically had until
Monday, the next working day, to
file their returns on 1959 income.
In announcing the deadline extension, 
the tax collecting agency
said. "It was felt that similar treatment 
should be accorded all taxpayers." 

The agency's decision meant that
returns need not be postmarked until 
midnight, next Monday, to be
considered on time A 5 per cent
penalty on any taxes owed could
be imposed on taxpayers filing after 
that hour.
An estimated 60 million Americans 
must file income tax returns
this year. Many millions traditionally 
wait until the last day to slip
their returns into the mails.
Officials said this last minute
rush is especially true of taxpayers 
who owe additional taxes and
must include the money with their
returns Persons entitled-to tax refunds 
generally file well in advance
of the deadline.
The three-day extension was approved 
by the Treasury Department
upon the recommendation of Tax
Commissioner Dana Latham.

Struggle Will Aid

Dr. King declared, "is to try to be
the best law-abiding citizen in your
community." He added however,
that "America could not survive if
the seat of our national government 
would follow the pattern of
some or our Southern states in regards 
to racial issues.'
Dr. King declared that "it is absolutely 
necessary for the Negro to
keep moving ahead for full citizenship 
— there is no other way for
him to go." He continued:
"Our material gain in America
is not enough to rest upon. Out
race has been in America almost a
century and we are coming of age.
We must go forward with the fulfillment 
of God's plans, or else we
would think that God has made a
mistake in placing us here."
In reference to Southern sit-ins,
the speaker said:
"The recent demonstrations of
young college students in sit down
strikes at eating counters is just
a beginning of our march for full
freedom."
The students were also warned
not to stoop to "second - class tactics" 
in aspirations for training and
citizenship.
