While such o position is well in keeping with the policies of this powerful Christian body, it is of vast importance, in that the church has seen many phases of changes taking place in this changing age. The position of the church was forthright and in keeping with modern trends, having to do with the welfare of all the people. The Methodist Church in Georgia, occupies on unique position. It literally came to life with Georgia, having been first established by John Wesley at Savannah, who came over with General Oglethorpe to re-vitalize the colony to spiritual ends. On Georgia soil sprang the-seed of Methodism to compass the world. That church did not on the whole encourage Negro slavery, while in later years after the institution become a legaiized fixture, it was in the split that for years saw two divisions of the Methodist church. Down the years the two branches were to come together in a more effective effort in carrying on the Christian ideals that have given power to Methodism in this country. In the resolutions of the Methodist church, there is great power; a voice of large volume has spoken and such will be the pattern of thousands of its adherents-all over the state, in a crucial hour when sanity and caution of procedure must make an assertion for the people of the state. MY WEEKLY SERMON REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH, MEMPHIS TEXT. Learn of me. "—Matt, 11:29. Nicodemus, who came at night to Jesus, was right when he said "Rabbi, we know thou art a teacher come from God." Christ was a teacher come from God, and He meant to let us know that He was when He spoke these words of conscious leadership. "Learn of me." We learn from his consecration. Christ had a work to do and gave himself wholly to it. He was in dead earnest about it. "Wist ye not that I must-be about-my Father's business?" "He pleased not himself." "He went about doing good." Yes let us learn from his devoted consecration to his work. Let us learn from His loving sympathy with the needy. Jesus was always kind, sympathetic, approachable. Let us learn from Him the art of winning souls in a winsome way. Let us learn from His habits, of prayer. Jesus began, carried on and followed all His work with prayer. How often we read of His going to the mountains, or the desert places. or alone to pray! If God's own Son felt the need of prayer, how can we poor, weak mortal insects expect to get along in our work without prayer?. Let us learn from Christ's unwavering faith. If Christ knew that He should finish the work God had given Him to do, if in the darkest hours He was still conscious that the Kingdom He was founding was to be an ever-lasting Kingdom, if He knew that the gospel He was proclaiming was destined to conquer the world, then as laborers together with Him in the same work have we not reason for faith? Let us sit at the feet of our Great Teacher, "come from God," and learn of Him, attend to His words study Hs methods, drink in His spirit, and share in His faith. May our prayers be "Jesus teach us we are but little children." Yes, Jesus will teach us to live abundantly how to suffer and yet be strong, how to die, dying like a God. Thus saith the Lord, "I will instruct the and teach thee in the way thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." THE BEST TEACHER REV. BLAIR T. HUNT, PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD.

The Emperor later added, "this association is the source of great pride and satisfaction, not only to myself, but to my people." When the Emperor took time out to salute, the officers at Fort Benning and others of the United States Armed Forces, he paid his respects to President Eisenhower. The President renewed the invitation given the Emperor to visit this country-some time ago by the late President Franklin. D. Roosevelt. Among the things which impressed the Emperor most includes American ingenuity and productive know-how. He said America's high living standards were not only a challenge to Americans themselves but to millions of people living abroad. The Emperor seemed impressed with the growing spirit of national ism, and said it is the duty of people to w ant to govern themselves He added however, that freedom and collective security can only be achieved by working with other nations whose interest is to maintain freedom and democracy for all There is no organized Communist influence in Ethiopia, His Majesty said. Speaking for Ethiopia, he further clarified his statement by saying that he could not speak for the whole of Africa The Dutch have already invested over five million dollars in the Ethiopian sugar industry. One of the primary purposes for visiting the United States, the Emperor said, is to further acquaint people with the evidence of Ethiopia's industrial potential and to encourage more capital and technical skill to flow to the country. During the press conference, C. A. Scott editor and general manager of the Atlanta Daily Weld welcomed the Emperor to America on behalf of the institution he represent and delivered letters to His Majesty from Dr. Rufus E. Clement and Dr. Benjamin E. Mays of Atlanta University and Morehouse College respectively.

His reply was that he has always been interested in cultural exchange and hopped that more students would come to study in American schools and colleges. Accompanying the Emperor were members of his immediate family. They included his youngest son, sahle Selassie, two granddaughters, Princesses Sebia "Desta and Sofia Desta. The test of his party included top government officials from Ethiopia, and his aide-de-camp. Col. Makonnen. The granddaughters spent part of the morning visiting the Girl Scouts camp on the base and the WAC de tachment. They also joined the party on other sight-seeing tours of the Army base, and had lunch at the main officers club. Before leaving for New York, the Emperor made other observations from his visit. "We hope that the young Ethiopian officers whom we have sent to Fort Benning for training in the techniques of modern warfare will successfully complete their courses here. The Emperor thanked the officers for the interest they had taken in training Ethiopian officers. At this point Haile Selassie presented the officers with an ivory work of art from his country as a souvenir of "our happy visit to this great institution and as a symbol of contribution of Fort Benning toward strengthening the forces for the defense of world peace through collective security within the charter of the United Nations organization." The ceremonies, prior to the press conference, ended by conferring upon the assistant Commandant, Brigadier General Carl F.

Stevenson, grand marshall: Casbon Chriss, first assistant grand marshall and Halley Jackson, second assistant grand marshal REVIEWING THE NEWS BY WILLIAM GORDON Managing Editor, Atlanta Dally World When a famous lawyer made the statement a few months ago that the church still barred two people, God and the Negro, the more enlightened and decent element in the church become worried. This was rightfully to. If there is any place in our democratic society today, left to deal and view conditions and people in light of goad Christian ethics, it is the church. For here is the one institution left in human society which can function on its own principles and needs not to adhere or be tied to any particular faction or political apron string. It should be among the freest of our institutions. And there are some recent signs which point in this direction. The Catholics have led the way in making Christianity available to all without regard to race or color. This practice has not only put them ahead of many church groups, but has likewise netted them almost 30,000,000 human souls in the American church. Other church groups including the Presbyterians, have similar enlightened attitudes toward God, the Church and the Negro and have without reluctance, opened their doors to all who care to come. But there are even other changes which hit closer to home, during this period of social change. The North Georgia Methodist Conference in a recent resolution, suggested that, "in these troublous days Methodists should show greater consideration than ever before toward Negroes." Aside from stating that it is the duty of all Christians to observe and obey the laws and commands of the government's supreme authority in the country. They also stated that "there is no place in the Methodist Church for racial discrimination or racial segregation." In view of these recent resolutions and attitudes on the part of churchmen, it makes one wonder what has the church been doing all along in terms of Christianity. I am sure that Christ Himself, while on earth, made no distinction as to the color or pigmenation of human soul. There were no distinctions on earth and I am sure there won't be any in the hereafter. In light of the attitudes taken by some, churchmen, one is mindful of the tale told by the Negro who visited a white church and was asked to become a member. On the first Sunday he old the eiders he needed more time to make up his mind. On he next Sunday, he told them he was sorry. His excuse was that he had bean praying to the Lord lo give him strength to join. But n reply, the Lord was quoted as saying, he had been trying to get into that church himself and had not been successful. It is inconceivable that Christ and God The Father will make any distinction for his Angels once we become pure enough to ascend into Heaven. And it is equally inconceivable that the demagogues will be on hand to argue the point on integration. It should be quite clear to all that the very basis on which Christianity was founded hinges on equality of respect for all. And wherever good Christian ethics are practiced, bigotry has no place. The fact that the Church is slowly but surely awakening to responsibility in a free society is indicative of a culture moving toward maturity. The Church has finally got around to admitting one of its greatest sins and the world should be grateful that it is cleaning its hands of the stains. The statement by the lawyer won't hold true any longer now that the climate is being set by he world's most genuine institution. Let's all praise the Lord together, for the Church is opening its doors to God and the Negro.

The Doctor Disagrees Elizabeth Selfert Copyright 1953, by Distributed by King Futures Syndicate CRAIG Knew about Dr. Lewis background without giving e hoot for the man a wealth, popularity and social standing. When Lewis came to the hospital and demanded to see his wife, Chen demanded to see the doctor who had ventured ... Craig was ready to talk to him in short, terse word. "Oh now, listen, doctor," protested Lewis. "You're not going to put toe much weight on the testimony of a Hysterical woman?" "1 put all the weight in the world on the words of a woman who has been driven to suicide, Dr. Lewis." "You can't keep me from seeing my wife!" "I think it only fair to warn you," said Craig stonily, "that any talking you may do to the court will be matched by particular and exact testimony from me." Dr. Lewis flinched. "By her own choice, Mrs. Lewis is my patient: I do not want her disturbed. She's tried to kill herself, which puts her into the guardianship of the police, if necessary, What about it?" Dr. Lewis hedged. "Well—now— no use to get hostile. Of course she's a nervous, type. Old maid, just married—" He giggled shrilly. Craig's hands clenched at his side. He meant to help Caroline Lewis—but not necessarily by killing this perverted man. So his hands opened. "She's jealous of Lillian, too," Dr. Lewis was saying rapidly. "No reason. Lillian and I have always been close, of course." Again that disagreeable laugh. Craig shut his eyes. "I don't think there's any need for a scandal, Talboy." Then you'd better respect my orders concerning Mrs. Lewis" said Craig coldly, and he walked away from the rotund, and now somewhat apprehensive Dr. Lewis. Of course there was talk Norfolk's life blood was gossip. Ruth Carr tried lo get Shelly to tell what had really happened out at Lewis's. "Being in the office, you—" "Please don't ask me such things, Ruth," said Shelly firmly. "It I Know anything, I can't talk about it. And it I don't which is usually the case—there isn't anything I could tell." "Did she try to kill herself?" "I couldn't say." Gossip decided that Mrs. Lewis had taken too much of some sort of medicine, either by accident or intent, and alone, in the house that daughter. Lillian to the city—she had wandered, dazed, out of doors, and had tainted. Now she had double pneumonia and was under oxygen. So it was told. Craig could almost laugh at the turn which die story had taken. He had thought gossip worked for the intensifying of evil rather than to soften the jagged-edges of truth! Several nights alter the Lewis tragedy, he rang the doorbell at Stephen Carr's home, and asked the maid if he might tee Mrs. Carr. Agnes stepped back invitingly and he went into the hall rosy with lamplight. There were voices to the right, the smell or a wood fire—and Shelly came out swiftly at Agnes word. A lovely, somewhat regal Shelly in a black frock, her golden hall swept upward, a twinkling pendant hanging from a thin gold chain around her white throat. "If you have guests," said Dr. Talboy, "I can call another time." "I don't nave guests—" Then her hand swept down across her black dress: "I helped serve at a tea this afternoon." she explained her glory. "I hadn't changed. Come in, won't you? Where's Donald?" "I left him out in the car." "Fetch him, won't you?". This was a Shelly new to him, glowing gracious, self-assured. Neither the nicely demure wife standing beside the bulk of Stephen Carr. nor the self-possessed. but slightly diffident, girl who had become familiar in his office. "Well—" he agreed, and went outside for the dog, who came in happily and sat up to offer his paw politely to Shelly. In the hall, two other people were now with Shelly. A big. blond man—a huge blond man— and a slender, dark girl with marvelous eyes. Shelly introduced them. "Mr. and Mrs. Vandable." Craig recognized Ike as a former patient. "And Myra is a future one," said Shelly. "Oh?" His black eyes smiled at Myra. "She's drummin up business." laughed Myra, starting up the stairs. Ike followed her, though Shelly murmured that they need not leave. "Only condition on which we stay," said Myra. "We both do as we please." "All right, then," laughed Shelly, and led the way' into the room where Donald had already stretched his shaggy black sell before the fire. "Conditions?" said Dr. Talboy. waiting to see that Shelly was seated in a chair. "It's a long story," Shelly told him. "Do you Want to near it?" "I'll listen to yours if you'll listen to mine." "We'll draw straws to see who goes first." Yes, she was different ... and lovely. Exciting. She pointed to the cigarets, and began to sketch out the situation concerning Myra: she told of the Pollers, the "harmless knot" boy— the makeshift apartment. And she told of Myra's impulsive request that she be allowed to sleep one night in a bed such as she knew Shelly must nave. Catching Craig's slight frown, she said warmly, "If was Myra who pointed out the risk I ran. But oh, it was no risk, really! I'd been, watching her for three months, just as shed been watching me. And it worked out fine. Except—" She laughed. "Here a the payoff. When Ike came back from his trip. Miss Roxie told him that Myra had been sleeping away from name, the didn't know where —and it didn't look right. She ran a respectable house, and expected her tenants to be respect, able." "She didn't know where Myra had been?" "Of course she did. She had told all the Carrs mat I'd taken that—well, her terms varied. Woman was one. Cracker. Hillbilly." Craig grunted and scratched his jaw. "What did Ike say?" "His main concern was to th that Myra had bothered me. didn't take him long to find her, because she was on tier way home —having spied his car." "So you've taken them in here to live?" "Do you think I should not, Dr. Talboy?" He unished his cigaret, his eyes on the fire. "You could check on them, through the plant— Vandable seems a nice sort of chap. Educated. It may be a risk, but I don't think a physical one. And if you're lonely.... "I am." said Shelly earnestly. "I'd say they were good to have around. The girl is unusual, isn't she?" Shelly laughed. "You should hear her talk. She's so full of sayings — all spoken in that soft drawl." "What do your in-laws say?" "Oh, they point out the risk They have thought all along that I should go to the city and be near my mother." She explained briefly about her mother's illness. "You're a big girl now," he said kindly. "Ready to decide s things for yourself." Again there was a small silence, friendly enough. The sleeping Donald yipped suddenly, and they both laughed. Dr. Talboy glanced at Shelly, "Teas, eh?" "Yes. Ruth entertained for the District D. A. R." "That would be Mrs. Maupin." Dr. Talboy was locating Ruth in the family group. "Big woman, dark, forceful One child." Shelly caught back a bubbled laughter. "I suppose it was the usual gossipy party?" "There were fifty women, all talking at once." "Any talk about Mrs. Lewis? The golden head lilted quickly, and a shadow of a frown crossed Shelly's face. "I did not come here to ask that!" said Dr. Talboy hurriedly. And a little more loudly than was warranted. Shelly flushed. "But the thing is on my mind," confessed the doctor more quietly. "To me, the worst of the whole stinking affair is the way the to has found to excuse, what is excusable. I've sensed those excuses, without knowing precisely what they were. I thought, having been to a party where there was bound to be gossip........... "There was," said Shelly softly.
