The President On Voting Rights
Declaring at this junction that he would like to see voting
rights settled first, the President of the United States intimated
that voting would have much to do with the school situation.
Deploring the aspect of school closings to get around the court
decision decided upon law, and the chaos existing in certain
Southern states, he termed the occasion as tragic. This tragic
affair, he hints, would succumb to the strokes of free voting.
Then it is important that such restrictions, as have been used
in the suppression of voting, must be removed.
The president hit upon something on this score. The record 
of the past, as relates to Negro schools, is sufficient to
prove this point.
There are those still among us in active life, who recall
when the elementary work of Georgia rural schools was carried 
on principally in churches, as far as the Negro was concerned. 
These schools lasted in many areas only three months,
with teachers seldom above the grades in educational qualification. 

There were no public supported high schools for Negroes.
The Negro found out long ago just what the President is now
saying regarding the relationship of the ballot and the
schools.
Figures will disclose the enormous educational opportunities 
since the Negro began participation in elections. Since the
ballot was restored, the growth of the Negro High School system 
reached almost every county in which there was sufficient
Negroes to support the project.
Today, our school system, while planted upon a separate
but equal principle, would do credit to any state. This does
not say that there is no room for improvement, or that the
classroom and teaching facilities are adequate, but it does
argue that we are well on our way.
The opposition envisioned, also, what the President is now
saying. After the ballot was restored there crept across its
path every manner of subterfuge, handicap and threat to
keep down Negro voting. The vote challenge practice probably
came to its heights in 1946 when counties in wholesale fashion
resorted to it in such flagrant methods, that it drew the fire
of those challenged who, without any civil rights assistance,
went about to enjoin in court such an underhand method
meant to take the place of white primaries and other evasive
measures which kept the Negro from the ballot.
Surely it is tragic for civilized people, leaders and custodians 
of the people's liberties to resort to closing the schools in
the faces of the children of the South.
The President suggests also the extension of the life of
the civil Rights Commission. That commission is at present
working on the Alabama vote denial investigation. It does deserve 
a new lease of life that it may still work in those areas
where, the ballot is being suppressed.
Evidently non-voting is a barrier in the way of free education; 
those who would indulge in the practice are contributing 
to the condition which is gradually leading up to the closing 
of the schools and that tragic aftermath.
The All-Citizens Registration Campaign finds excellent
thrift in the Presidents suggestion. At a high pitch of enthusiasm 
during the next few weeks, Atlanta will set a record pace
through the committee in rolling up new voters.
They are becoming of 18 every day. Let them enroll in
this stride to not only protect the schools, but to keep the arms
of liberty high and uplifted.

"The Filibuster Encounters Timely Warning
Those who at the outset of the 86th Congress centered
their fight on the filibuster, cannot be counted out because of
the Johnson Compromise in the matter. The old rule strictly
adhered to and a might fortress of those who opposed civil
rights, would require two-thirds of the whole senate membership 
to halt a filibuster by voting cloture. By this taken, dealing 
with 98 members of the Senate, it would be impractical
to break the deadlock of a talkafest, if and when some senator 
desired to stall off legislation that could be defeated in no
other way than talking it to death.
The Johnson Compromise would require a two-third vote
of those actually in attendance. Only fifty members make a
quorum in the Senate. While this is perhaps a little less than
half a loaf, it must be reckoned with as a step forward. It
serves notice that the filibuster is gradually coming nearer and
nearer the vanishing point.
So, Senator Johnson's keen maneuver in getting through
this compromise, might not prove a victory for him after all.
He was those liberal Democrats who are opposed to the filibuster 
to reckon With in the Democratic National Convention,
where he might have had presidential ambitions. These liberals 
have at their back thousands of Negro voters, who are
looking on. They know that the filibuster has served as a
weapon in the past against Civil Rights measures. They know
now that it is so cautiously guarded by those senators of the
deep South who are centering for political thrift their fire on
civil Rights.
What is interesting, those who desire the filibuster, must
at all times keep guard; they must see to it that their number
is always present to do the job at all times, for it might never
be known when an all put attack might be pitched against

the filibuster.
With strong voting forces back home the Senate and even
Majority Leader Johnson can be put on notice that this country
will not long relish a system whereby majority rule can be
throttled by filibuster.
Thusty, more votes can be driven to the liberal side, which
will be reflected when the filibuster is pulled out on the frontier. 

Verily, the filibuster can be referred to as a vanishing
shadow.

Local NAACP To

must concentrate upon this, if we
are to obtain our goal," he said.
Heretofore, most Workers have concentrated 
on obtaining only one
membership from a family.
W. C. Patton, who has been an
NAACP field worker many years,
said, No Negro in the South should
hesitate to support the NAACP because 
this is the only organization
which is dedicated to really obtaining 
liberty and freedom for all
Americans. No other organization
has devoted so much time, patience
and money to the peaceful, legal
settlement of racial problems arriving 
out of the denial of full freedoms 
to all who live in America as
the NAACP."
President of the local chapter,
Rev. D. S. Cunningham, expressed
hope of making this year's membership 
drive "the most successful
in the history of Memphis."

Negro Elks Lodge

oratorical contest received a scholarship 
to attend Georgetown University, 
while a Jewish boy is attending 
Harvard University on another. 

Dr. Johnson sums up the Negro
Elks effort by saying "Our youth
must have encouragement, money
and moral support to forge ahead
in developing their skills in the
fields of science, engineering and
health. We intend to keep the
light of education burning."

Six Months, $1,000

It was not immediately learned
what the maximum penalty would
be in Wallace's case U. S. attorneys 
said it was "a legal onestion" 
and declined to say what
length of setence might be imposed. 

Wallace was not in the courtroom 
when Johnson announced
his ruling and was represented
instead by his attorneys.
Federal Judge Frank M. Johnson,
a former classmate of Wallace at
the University of Alabama, directed 
Wallace to show cause at a
hearing Jan. 26 "if there be any
reason why he should not be found
guilty of criminal contempt"
It marked the first contempt proceeding 
in the efforts of the newly
created Civil Rights Commission to
carry out its investigations in an
atmosphere of Deep South defiance.
Wallace could be fined $1,000 and
sentenced to six months in jail if
found guilty by a jury. The judge
might fine him $300 and order a
45-day jail sentence.
Wallace refused comment on the
action, but a spokesman said that
the commission has "backed down
on every issue. They came down
here arrogantly and have backed
down, showing that the state's
rights have won the issue."
Johnson's citation was the latest
show down in the running federal
vs. state battle which stemmed
from the Civil Rights Commission's
investigation of complaints Alabama
Negroes had been denied the right
to vote.
Wallace, a 39-year-old unsuccessful 
candidate for governor last
spring, first refused to appear before 
the commission Dec. 8-9, saying 
he would not "dignify" the federal 
agency by testifying.
He then ignored a federal subpena 
obtained by the commission
on grounds it had no right to question 
his actions as a state jurist,
and on Monday and Tuesday of
this week, he side-stepped Johnson's 
order to produce the records
of two central Alabama counties to
the commission.
Wallace instead turned the records 
over to grand juries in Bullock 
and Barbour counties, and they,
in turn, made them available to
investigators.

South Lags In

in major league baseball. "As much
as I admire Jackie Robinson, but I
would have this to say. The Negro
race had good baseball players long
before Jackie."
"What America needs is more
Branch Rickeys a man with
the courage of his convictions."
Thomas, who has been actively
affiliated with the Urban League
program 35 years, praised the Community 
Chests in many southern
cities which weathered criticism from
small white radical groups, which
are bent on having the Urban league 
branches thrown out of the
Community Chests membership.
He said "we have business together 
Negroes and whites. He
went on to say that he doesn's seek
jobs for qualified Negroes wih an
apology. It is not a question of
granting favors."
"We also have business with our
young people. Because I am in the
business of selling brains it takes
brains for today's jobs."
Thomas said "if we are going to
meet the needs to improve conditions 
in this country it will call for
more technical know-how without
regard to color or racial identity.
He pointed out that the south
loses thousands of its best potential
business men, scientists, technicians
each year because the South fails
to give an opportunity to them to
work at their profession in the
South.
In conclusion he said, "If we are
going to continue to make strides
in America, we have business to
gether 
Negro and white."
Rev. J. A McDaniel, executive
director of the local branch, in his
annual address said, "the yast three
years at the local branch has been
trying years".
He went on to say "I do not know
o fany organization more American 
than the Urban League. It
subscribes to those things in our
U. S. Constitution. He praised the
members of the board of directors
for their "generosity of their ability 
and resources."
Rev. McDaniel said 'We believe
in good, sound race relations and
working to improve the attitude of
one group toward the other because
America needs all of us at our best.
We want Negro youths to feel that
they are a part of America. Roots
of their ancestry is deep in the
American soil."
He went on to tell about the job
referrals made by the Urban League 
last year.
Others speaking briefly included
Blair T. Hunt, principal of Booker
T. Washington high school, who
was chairman of the meeting.

"The reason for the urgency of
an early recall of the grand jury
is the foreclosure of the normal
channels available to federal officers, 
investigating a charge of federal 
law," Mr. White and Mr.
Longshore wrote Judge Lynn, adding: 

"On November 18, 1958, the Public 
Safety Commissioner of Birmingham, 
Eugene (Bull) Connor, informed 
the Special Agent in
Charge of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation at Birmingham that
he had ordered all of the officers
under his command to give no information 
regarding these incidents
to the federal authorities.
"This order resulted in the denial 
of access to witnesses essential 
for the completion of the investigation. 

"In view, of this development, it
is plain that the public interest
requires that the grand jury be
reconvened at the earliest possible
date. To allow the investigation to
remain in abeyance until the regularly 
scheduled date for the
grand jury would seriously impair
the possibility of obtaining the
true facts and might well have the
result of permitting an open defense 
of federal law enforcement
to result in a miscarriage of justice. 

"In view of the compelling nature 
of these circumstances. We
hope that you will see fit to recall
the grand jury into early session.
"In this connection, we understand 
that the grand jury has already 
been charged so that the
attendance of a presiding judge
would not be needed, and there
would be no interruption of any of
the present court schedule. The
grand jury, of course, would be
again recalled at a later date for
the conduct of its other business."
In his reply, Judge Lynn said:
"I respectfully decline to recall
our grand jury before February
16, 1959, the date to which it was
recessed by order of court enterel
August 29, 1958.
"This court operates continously
throughout the twelve months of
the year, the vacations of judges
and supporting personnel being
staggered to accomplish such result. 

"Careful planning and a severe
rationing of days, even hous, between 
Sept. 1 and Aug. 31 have
contributed to minimize delays in
the administration of the affairs of
this court in its seven divisions.
"As matters now stand, neither

of the two judges of this court
will be available prior to the planned 
and designated date should
the attendance of either upon the
sessions of the grand jury be requried 
in the interest of justice.
"While the existing grand jury
has been charged there have been
instances, happily infrequent, within 
the past thirteen years. When I
have been requested to appear before 
a similar body for the purposes 
of passing upon asserted
claims of privilege against selfincrimination 
and of thwarting incipient 
defiance of the powers of
investigation.
"In my humble opinion, a judge
should be available to a grand
jury at all times while it remains
in session. My calendar has been
planned to enable me to remain
in chambers for the entire week
of February 16, 1959, but not earlier."

 WILLIAM FULLER


STAND UP, RAMEZ!" Jack
Forbes commanded, waving
his submachine gun.
Ramez got slowly to his feet.
"Turn around!"
Ramez did as he was ordered.
"The red velvet pad in the back
Of your chair, Ramez! The middle 
tack at the top is loose. Take
it out!"
Ramez removed the tack and
dropped it on the floor.
"Now get your fingers behind
the pad. Rip it off!"
Ramez sighed, squared his
shoulders and then, with one
quick, downward motion he
ripped away the thin red velvet
pad. Thousand dollar bills tumbled 
to the seat of the chair and
a halt dozen fluttered gently to
the floor.
Forbes moved to the chair,
gathered up the loose bills and
with his left hand the other
hand still held the submachine
gun he started scooping up loose
bills and tuffing them in the
pockets of his coveralls.
Finally he finished and backed
away from the chair, toward the
door.
"I'm going now. Need I say
that anyone who follows me will
be killed?"
For a moment no one answered
him. He seemed disappointed. He
hesitated His performance had
been so successful that he hated
to see it end.
Marta broke the silence.
"Jack," she said, "Where are you
going?"
His face twisted in a crafty,
furtive grin. "Where no one will
ever be able to find me! Not you,
not Ramez, not the police. I've
got it all planned. I'll fly Lear's
plane out of here and nobody
here will ever see me again!"
"Jack!" Marta said. "You're
sick! Give the money to Ramez.
It's his! you're sick. Let us help
you!"
Lear spoke. "You'll never get
that airplane off the ground in
weather like this, Forbes!"
"Listen, Lear! I can fly anything 
with wings and an engine
in any kind of weather! I'm the
best pilot you or anybody else in
this room will ever see! I was
born with the ability to fly."
He backed through the door
and disappeared.
For a long minute no one
moved, no one spoke. Then we all
ran through the driving rain toward 
the airstrip. The wind was
howling more fiercely than ever.
The tops of the coconut palms
were bent low before its force,
and palm fronds screamed
through the air.
We heard the roar of the engines 
and when we got there the
Beechcraft was taxiing slowly toward 
the far end of the short
strip. As we watched, it turned.
The engines roared louder now as
the airplane started back down
the strip, gathering speed. The
wings dipped as the little plane
fought to become airborne. And
then finally, with the windwhipped 
palms at the end of the
strip dangerously close, it got off
the ground. It fought valiantly
for altitude. And then, as it
seemed that it would clear the
trees by inches, a gust of wind
slatted one wing down into the
top of a palm.
Marts screamed and buried her
face against my chest as the airplane 
catapulted end over end
and crashed, finally, into two of
the empty shacks beyond the airstrip. 
Before we could move the
plane exploded in a blinding flash
of fire. The heat was so intense
that the demolished shacks, in
spite of the downpour, blazed into
flame and the practically disintegrated 
remains of the airplane
and the remnants of the shacks
were a funeral pyre for Jack
Forbes and his money.
We stood around and watched.
There was nothing else we could
do. In a very short while the
twisted masses of hissing metal
that had once been the Beechcraft's 
engines were all that was
left of the airplane.
We all went back to the house.
We went into the living room.
Ramez stopped by Alfredo's body.
He stood staring at it for a moment. 
Then he shook his head
"Poor Alfredo," he murmured.
"Manuel! Lear! Take him to the
Teresa. He will have a proper
burial!"
Lear said, "Now wait a—-"
Ramez interrupted him. "I
should have you shot. But I am
a generous man. The money is
gone and nothing I can do now
will bring it back. That's as I
think you would say it, Dolan
the way the ball bounces. There
has been enough violence Help
Manuel with Alfredo. We sail as
soon as the weather breaks Just
stay out of my sight, Lear. I
have come to dislike your face!"
When they had gone he started
to sit in the chair the money had
been in. He made an expression
of distaste, moved away and sat
in another chair.
He spoke to Marta: "I am no
hypocrite. I cannot say that I am
sorry that your husband is dead
But may I extend my sympathies
to you?"
"Nor am I a hypocrite," Marta
said. "I need no sympathy."
You told the, when we are
spoke aboard the Teresa, that you
did not know that the money had
been stolen from me. Is this true,
Marta?"
"I knew there was money. I
didn't know where it came from.
I thought Jack was dead and I
thought that I, as his widow, had
a right to it."
"But even after you knew
where it had come from you still
wanted it?"
"Yes. I—-I guess so."
"Don't forget, Ramez," I said.
"You had more or less declared
war on Marta. And on me, because 
I was on her side. We
were abducted, remember? We
were threatened. I was beaten.
When war is declared it is more
or less customary to fight back."
"Ah, yes, the abductions," he
said. "The questionings, the
beatings." He shook his head,
"Political expediencies! Politics
is a jungle, Dolan! Jungle tactics
must be employed if one is to
succeed! To be of aid to my poor
people I must first battle my way
back into ascendency, using whatever 
methods I may find to be expedient!" 

His voice had taken on the
deep, sonorous, rabble-rousing
tones that I had heard the night
I had been aboard the Teresa.
"Please, Ramez," I said. "Spare
us any long speeches. I don't
think we could take it!"
"Ah, yes," he said. "I had forgotten. 
You are tired. You are
hungry. If you will both come to
the Teresa you will find food, hot
water, clean clothing." He was
looking at Marta "We will let
bygones be bygones, eh, Marta?
We shall sail for Miami when the
storm has gone. Will you come.
Marta?"
I know it galled him, but he
said to me, "And, you, too, of
course Dolan."
I could have kissed Marta
Right there,
"Thanks, Ramez," she said
steadily, but I really don't like
it much aboard your boat I have
my own boat now, up in the hills.
I suppose this is my estate now. I
think I'd like to stay and look
things over. Dolan, of course,
may want to go with you!"
I grinned. "I think I'll stick
around awhile. And now, Ramez
If you'll excuse us.
He stood. He took Marta's
hand and kissed it. He straightened. 

As you wish he said. And
then he left us.
"Dolan," Marta said. "you're a
jerk!"
"Yeah," I said, kiss me baby.
she kissed me.

CHAPTER 36

 WILLIAM FULLER


STAND UP, RAMEZ!" Jack
Forbes commanded, waving
his submachine gun.
Ramez got slowly to his feet.
"Turn around!"
Ramez did as he was ordered.
"The red velvet pad in the back
Of your chair, Ramez! The middle 
tack at the top is loose. Take
it out!"
Ramez removed the tack and
dropped it on the floor.
"Now get your fingers behind
the pad. Rip it off!"
Ramez sighed, squared his
shoulders and then, with one
quick, downward motion he
ripped away the thin red velvet
pad. Thousand dollar bills tumbled 
to the seat of the chair and
a halt dozen fluttered gently to
the floor.
Forbes moved to the chair,
gathered up the loose bills and
with his left hand the other
hand still held the submachine
gun he started scooping up loose
bills and tuffing them in the
pockets of his coveralls.
Finally he finished and backed
away from the chair, toward the
door.
"I'm going now. Need I say
that anyone who follows me will
be killed?"
For a moment no one answered
him. He seemed disappointed. He
hesitated His performance had
been so successful that he hated
to see it end.
Marta broke the silence.
"Jack," she said, "Where are you
going?"
His face twisted in a crafty,
furtive grin. "Where no one will
ever be able to find me! Not you,
not Ramez, not the police. I've
got it all planned. I'll fly Lear's
plane out of here and nobody
here will ever see me again!"
"Jack!" Marta said. "You're
sick! Give the money to Ramez.
It's his! you're sick. Let us help
you!"
Lear spoke. "You'll never get
that airplane off the ground in
weather like this, Forbes!"
"Listen, Lear! I can fly anything 
with wings and an engine
in any kind of weather! I'm the
best pilot you or anybody else in
this room will ever see! I was
born with the ability to fly."
He backed through the door
and disappeared.
For a long minute no one
moved, no one spoke. Then we all
ran through the driving rain toward 
the airstrip. The wind was
howling more fiercely than ever.
The tops of the coconut palms
were bent low before its force,
and palm fronds screamed
through the air.
We heard the roar of the engines 
and when we got there the
Beechcraft was taxiing slowly toward 
the far end of the short
strip. As we watched, it turned.
The engines roared louder now as
the airplane started back down
the strip, gathering speed. The
wings dipped as the little plane
fought to become airborne. And
then finally, with the windwhipped 
palms at the end of the
strip dangerously close, it got off
the ground. It fought valiantly
for altitude. And then, as it
seemed that it would clear the
trees by inches, a gust of wind
slatted one wing down into the
top of a palm.
Marts screamed and buried her
face against my chest as the airplane 
catapulted end over end
and crashed, finally, into two of
the empty shacks beyond the airstrip. 
Before we could move the
plane exploded in a blinding flash
of fire. The heat was so intense
that the demolished shacks, in
spite of the downpour, blazed into
flame and the practically disintegrated 
remains of the airplane
and the remnants of the shacks
were a funeral pyre for Jack
Forbes and his money.
We stood around and watched.
There was nothing else we could
do. In a very short while the
twisted masses of hissing metal
that had once been the Beechcraft's 
engines were all that was
left of the airplane.
We all went back to the house.
We went into the living room.
Ramez stopped by Alfredo's body.
He stood staring at it for a moment. 
Then he shook his head
"Poor Alfredo," he murmured.
"Manuel! Lear! Take him to the
Teresa. He will have a proper
burial!"
Lear said, "Now wait a—-"
Ramez interrupted him. "I
should have you shot. But I am
a generous man. The money is
gone and nothing I can do now
will bring it back. That's as I
think you would say it, Dolan
the way the ball bounces. There
has been enough violence Help
Manuel with Alfredo. We sail as
soon as the weather breaks Just
stay out of my sight, Lear. I
have come to dislike your face!"
When they had gone he started
to sit in the chair the money had
been in. He made an expression
of distaste, moved away and sat
in another chair.
He spoke to Marta: "I am no
hypocrite. I cannot say that I am
sorry that your husband is dead
But may I extend my sympathies
to you?"
"Nor am I a hypocrite," Marta
said. "I need no sympathy."
You told the, when we are
spoke aboard the Teresa, that you
did not know that the money had
been stolen from me. Is this true,
Marta?"
"I knew there was money. I
didn't know where it came from.
I thought Jack was dead and I
thought that I, as his widow, had
a right to it."
"But even after you knew
where it had come from you still
wanted it?"
"Yes. I—-I guess so."
"Don't forget, Ramez," I said.
"You had more or less declared
war on Marta. And on me, because 
I was on her side. We
were abducted, remember? We
were threatened. I was beaten.
When war is declared it is more
or less customary to fight back."
"Ah, yes, the abductions," he
said. "The questionings, the
beatings." He shook his head,
"Political expediencies! Politics
is a jungle, Dolan! Jungle tactics
must be employed if one is to
succeed! To be of aid to my poor
people I must first battle my way
back into ascendency, using whatever 
methods I may find to be expedient!" 

His voice had taken on the
deep, sonorous, rabble-rousing
tones that I had heard the night
I had been aboard the Teresa.
"Please, Ramez," I said. "Spare
us any long speeches. I don't
think we could take it!"
"Ah, yes," he said. "I had forgotten. 
You are tired. You are
hungry. If you will both come to
the Teresa you will find food, hot
water, clean clothing." He was
looking at Marta "We will let
bygones be bygones, eh, Marta?
We shall sail for Miami when the
storm has gone. Will you come.
Marta?"
I know it galled him, but he
said to me, "And, you, too, of
course Dolan."
I could have kissed Marta
Right there,
"Thanks, Ramez," she said
steadily, but I really don't like
it much aboard your boat I have
my own boat now, up in the hills.
I suppose this is my estate now. I
think I'd like to stay and look
things over. Dolan, of course,
may want to go with you!"
I grinned. "I think I'll stick
around awhile. And now, Ramez
If you'll excuse us.
He stood. He took Marta's
hand and kissed it. He straightened. 

As you wish he said. And
then he left us.
"Dolan," Marta said. "you're a
jerk!"
"Yeah," I said, kiss me baby.
she kissed me.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
BY
REV. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Carol Marie, a little girl of the
tender age of five years, wistfully
asked me, "When is Sunday coming?" 

I told her as best I could. She
gleefully cried out, "I'll be so, glad
when Sunday comes."
I asked her, "Why?"
She replied, "So I can go to
church."
The words of the Psalmist came
to my mind: "I was glad when
they said unto me, let us go unto
the House of the Lord." (Psalms
122:1).
How many of us are like the
Psalmist—like the little girl,
Carol Marie?
I am glad that I was glad, as a
small lad, to go to church. I retain
a memory of myself as a little lad
going to church. I just loved to hear
the minister's resonant voice
the pious and confident finality
with which he intoned his text
the virtuosity with which he so
skillfully played upon the heartstrings 
of his hearers. Sunday after
Sunday I went back to church to
enjoy the spell of the preacher
the magic of the music.
Jesus was a loyal church-goer
even as a small lad. He grew up in
the Jewish Church and from
his boyhood it was His custom to
worship in the synagogue on the
Sabbath Day in the beauty of holiness. 

Go to church! The witchery of
worship—the awareness of Jehovah's 
mystic presence the
brooding of the Holy Spirit the
entire worship, whether mantled
with naked simplicity, or elaborate
with stately liturgy the great
organ tones the vested choir
or the simple singing of the
grand old hymns will contribute 
to the enrichment of your
spiritual life and culmination of
your salvation.
Go to church! The church is the
road to heaven the vestibule to
paradise the dressing room of
immortality!!
Go to church! Restore a broken
fellowship with God through Christ
Jesus. Then you can say, "There is
nothing between my soul and my
God."
Go to church! In the church you
will find a fellowship that knows
no time or clime. You will reach
back to the upper room with Jesus
and you will have an unbroken
chain that reaches up into the unseen. 
Then you will have spiritual
power and your spirit's deepest
longings will be satisfied.
Go to church! You will find God
and your soul's salvation!! Let us

sing that great old hymn that so
comforts and blesses.
