Let The Church Take Hold Of This "Golden Years" Project Quite fittingly has such a title been applied to the efforts of two Alabama church projects, designed to furnish low house rent facilities for those in the evening of life, that they may pass on down the scene gracefully and assuredly that security will attend the last of the days of their years m this earth. While such a move on the part of the church is not exactly new, there is in the novelty of the Alabama churches something new in the method by which funds would be obtained for the effort. The Methodist and the Episcopalian denominations are heading up this latest plan. Already over one third of the funds pledged by the Episcopalian group has been paid in. By the did of the Hill-Burton Act funds and other federal appropriations, the plan it to construct a housing running into the millions. No more laudable undertaking has been advanced anywhere by the church than this golden years project. The church is in line to cooperate with the housing authorities in its entry into a real constructive program. We ore badly underhoused; the housing facilities are far from being adequate and with the church taking its end of the tote it is certain that much of the housing tension will be eased. Public institutions as they are, the church is in woeful need of some tangible earthly benefits in its program. The advocating and selling of eternal life with homes "not made of hands" might be alright, but the enlistment of those students of finer relations and those believers in realities in a program which will provide here on earth homes made with hands, would enhance the claim of the church on those Christian and public spirited ones upon whom it must depend for its existence. Let other denominations and churches catch the spirit of these two church organizations and lend a hand to those deserving ones who mode practically their total investment in the advancement and expansion of the church. This is a safe and sound prononcement, and progressive church movements are bound to follow suit. MY WEEKLY SERMON REV. BLAIR HUNT PASTOR MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN CHURCH, MEMPHIS We are starting on a journey from our hometown to Bethlehem of Judea. Just a few more days to shop.. just a few more" days to prepare for Christmas What a feverish last minute preparation many are making for this journey to Bethlehem. Some will not reach Bethlehem They will stop on the road. They will deviate. They will never see the Baby, Jesus. Let us prepare to see the manger cradled-babe. Let us prepare for Christmas that we may reach Bethlehem to behold the gates of another world open up and hear singing from on high. God, our heavenly Father, prepared for Christmas. "When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his son made a woman, a virgin irreproachable." God prepared a body for Christmas... a body, human as well as divine, a body so human, it got tired so human it got thirsty and hungry so human it had to sleep ... so human it shed tears. Yes, God prepared for the world's first Christmas. He prepared a body for Jesus. God prepared a nation, the Jewish nation, a strategically, geographically located .. a land free from idolatry. For the first Christmas God prepared a mother. God prepared Mary "And the angel said unto her, fear not Mary, for thou hast found favor with God, and behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb. and bring forth a son, and shall call his name Jesus." God was preparing a mother for Christmas. How: do we prepare for Christmas? What does Christmas mean? Today the merchants are happy We wonder if the angels are happy as they behold us preparing for Christmas. We wonder how much money will be spent for hard liquor We wonder how many Bibles will be given in the guise of presents. Men are taking Christ out of Christmas. Have you taken the Christ out of Christmas and made it 'X-mas'? If so you will never see the Babe of Bethlehem on December 25th You know "X-mas," emphasizing the "X' means the unknown and Christ will be unknown to you, for you will not arrive in Bethlehem of Judea. And Jews will not be born in your heart. Prepare for a spiritual Christmas. Then you will not "spend" Christmas You will "keep Christmas." Let us prepare to keep Christmas in all of its ancient loveliness. Keep it in the sanctuary of our hearts. Prepare for a spiritual Christmas, not a paganistic commercial Xmas A paganistic, commercial Xmas means "get it now while the getting is good," A paganistic, commercial Xmas means drunken brawls, thousands of accidents, thousands sent to the hospital, scores of people killed. A paganistic, commercial Xmas means a carnival of mirth for the imps of hell. Let us prepare for a spiritual Christmas. Let us reach Bethlehem of Judea on December 25th and gaze into the baby face of Jesus and sing forth "Joy to the world, the Lord has come" Let us join that choir that sang "Peace on earth, good will to men." Let us prepare to meet God on Christmas morning and gaze into the face of Jesus Prepare now to go to Bethlehem of Judea "Let us go now even unto Bethlehem, and see this thine which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." Luke 2:15. Prepare for Christmas by preparing the heart, the mind, and the experience, and Christmas will take on a new beauty and meaning you had never known before.

Casson Duker, a well-to-do amateur detective is intrigued by Henry Lockyer, a stolid banker, getting drunk before dinner at their club, Casson's curiosity compels him to find out why the normally lightdrinking Lockyer is acting in such a manner Lockyer tells Casson he had been blackmailed by an-ordinary looking little man named Bagot who threatened to ruin his reputation Bagot promises not to bother him again Lockyer tells Casson he will not testify against Bagot if he is arrested. One thing distinguishes the insignificant Bagot. He paused to admire a piece of Roman sculpture in Lockyer's house. Casson thinks this interest may trap him Casson goes to his friend George Strutt a police superintendent for help Strutt becomes interested in the case. Later, Casson meets another friend Nigel Willington an antique dealer and asks him to check his sales records of Roman sculpture for possible lead? Meanwhile, Strutt has dug up a similar case from the police files. THE next morning there arrived from Nigel Willington's office a large, flat envelope full of catalogues of approaching auctions. Rapidly Casson skimmed through them, searching for any offer of Roman antiquities. But there was little. Caisson threw them into a bottom drawer of his, desk. They were quite useless. On Monday morning he drove straight to Willington's. When he got there he found Nigel standing in the middle of the showroom, contemplating with a vacant stare a magnificent cabinet. "I want you to buy me a bust," said Casson, "First century Roman." "For the malefactor?" Nigel queried, his fingertips searching along the sides of the cabinet. Casson nodded. "It'll cost you a bit." "I won't lose. I want you to sell it for me. At Christie's With enough publicity." Nigel trowned at the 'cabinet. "Why?" "To attract a criminal." "It's nice to Know when one's barmy, Nigel observed, mildly. "I suppose you do, eh?" "Not in the slightest. I'm entirety logical. The only thing I can lost is a gamble on a guess. It wouldn't be the first time." "No Not me. I'm not going to buy this piece. I guess it's a copy,. But I'll get you your bust. Come and dine next Saturday. We've got a cook, and Sally would love to see you." In the course of the week, Casson received his book back from Strutt. Inside the parcel was a note which said: Casson grinned as he tore up the note, Strutt delighted to needle him. Nigel produced a bust for Casson's inspection when he dined in Stafford Terrace that Saturday. "Is it genuine?" Casson asked. "I think so," Nigel replied. "At least Heskett says so and he should know. I haven't the faintest idea." Casson could not bear to leave the statue with Nigel over the week-end. He took it back to his flat and set it up on the table where the lilac had been. He was vastly pleaded. Willington's had arranged for the bust to be auctioned by Chrislies in three weeks' time. Casson wailed patiently while the Brat three weeks of May went by and then, as the day of the auction approached, the excitement of the gamble look hold of him again. He went down to Christie's early on the Friday of the auction securing a perch on the window seat by the auctioneer's desk, from which point of vantage he could see the fates of the buyers. He began selecting faces from the crowd, face and ages to suit Bagot — if he were there. He found seven which might fit and drew a rough seating plan of the room on the back of his programme, marking in with crosses the seven possible people. He scribbled on the top of the programme: "Do you know any of these?" and paused it to Nigel. Nigel identified three of the men as dealers or dealers' agents. A fourth was a known collector. Casson was reasonably sure that none of these could be his man. He fell instinctively that Bagot was not a dealer. He turned over a page and wrote. "Has any of them an accent?" The reply was swift: "Yes. The collector. He is a Pole." That left three men. The auctioneer came to the bust. It was placed on a high table for all to see. Casson gave it the, merest glance. The bidding opined slowly. It spurted for twenty pounds, then languished. But Casson had time to catch the flick of the programme from the new bidder and his heart sank. Bagot had not come to his lure. Instead it was a woman, welldressed in black, a diamond clip in the lapel of her coat, a small, expensive hat. The bidding showed again. "Do you want your bust? Nigel asked. "Yes," Casson whispered back. "I do." Nigel flickered his programme. The bidding rose ten pounds. The woman followed the price up. Then she stopped. The hammer fell. The bust went to Willington's. Two bronze statuettes were up on the table. Seventeenth century. One of the possible Bagots was bidding. He must be in his late forties, an ordinary man with mousecoloured hair and a cheap brown suit. He wore gold-rimmed spectacles. His gaze was fixed on the auctioneer. The bidding went up in lives and his programme flickered, to keep it rising. Casson stared at him, fascinated. "Ever seem him?" he whispered to Nigel. "No." At last the bidding slowed and slopped. The last gesture had been from the- flickered programme. "Sold!" announced the auctioneer,' He pointed to the man in the brown suit and asked his name. The man muttered something which Casson could not hear, wrote on a slip of paper and passed it up to the clerk. Casson drew on his programme a heavy arrow pointing to the cross which marked the man's position, handed the card to Nigel and whispered: "Watch him. Hear him speak if you can. Come out when he leaves and tell me" I'll be in the car. In St. James's Place." It was half-an-hour before they appeared. The inconspicuous man came first, carrying a parcel in brown paper. He looked round, then walked towards St. James's Street. Nigel strolled over to the car, lighting his pipe. "He paid for it in notes," he remarked to Casson. "Wanted to take it away at once." "Did you hear his voice?" "Yes." "Was it common'?" "A trace of accent." Casson started the engine and drove towards St James's. At the end of the street a slim figure in a brown suit was signaling for a taxi.

King Jr. Says New Negro Is Rising In The South A" new Negro has emerged in the South today, a Negro capable of decisive, united action. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., leader of the Montgomery bus boycott, stated at the United Negro College Fund symposium in Hunter College Assembly Hall, last week. The Hon. Chester Bowles former United States Ambassador to India, was the principal forum speaker, and Dr. King was one of four Negro leaders who took part in a panel discussion, "The Negro Southerner Speaks." "The Negro in the South has taken a new look at himself." Dr. King said, "With his migration to urban centers and the improvement of his: educatioal and economic status, he has re-evaluated his position. No longer cowed by threats and intimidations, his attitude is a reflection 6f the sense of dignity being gained by colored peoples throughout the world today." Mr. Bowl likened the 27-yearold Dr. King's successful leadership to that of Mohandas K. Gandhi, in his address on some inter national aspects of race relations. "As Gandhi appealed to the basic decency, honesty and democratic spirit of the British. so great new Negro leaders will now appeal to the conscience and the decency of their white neighbors throughout the South," Mr Bowles said. "Eventually the day will come, and I do not believe it is now far distant when American law will protect all Americans against discrimination on the basis of race, or creed, or color, and we may live with each other in understanding and peace. "When this great day comes it will be the courageous, democratic spirit of Gandhi and such men as Luther King which has made this new freedom possible, and it will have been achieved in the finest tradition of the human race," Mi Bowles stated. Dr. Rufus E. Clement, of the Atlanta Board d Education the first Negro elected to public office in Atlanta since Reconstruction, emphasized that the Negro has made all his gains in this country with in the framework of the law, President of Atlanta University, one of the Fund's 31 member school Dr. Clement was a member of Forum's discussion panel. Dr William J. L. Wallace, president of West Virginia State College the first fully-integrated state college in the South: John H. Wheeler, Negro attorney of North Carolina, who has argued segregation cases before the U. S. Supreme Court, and Dr. King also served as panel discussants. August Heckscher, director of the Twentieth Century Fund, Quincy Howe, ABC commentator, and Carl Rowan, Negro author and staff writer for the Minneapolis Tribune interviewed the panel members. The symposium was the eighth in a series inaugurated by the United Negro College Fund in 1949. Whitney North Seymour, former president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, headed the volunteer committee. Sponsors, in addition to the Fund, included the New York City clubs of twelve college groups: Barnard, Bennington. Bryn Mawr, City College of New York, Mt. Holyoke, Oberlin, Radcliffe, Sarah Lawrence, S Vassar, Wellesley and the Am can Association of University Women. "I like the New Bus System...

Jesus puts it more simply when he said "The Kingdom of heaven is within you." We have all heard these magic words hundreds of times, so often 111 fact that their terrific impact escapes us. The Kingdom of heaven? The realm of love and poise. The splendor of God himself with all its cleansing healing power? The answer is YES it is there! That is exactly what Jesus said and meant. little children have it. (Matt. 18:3-5) You have it too. If you want to know how to bring it out call at Vance Avenue Branch of Cossitt Library today and call for THE INNER SPLENDOR by DUNNINGTON. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." BY We can thank God that the splendor within Angela Morgan was not to be denied expression just because certain editors were blind to the truth and beauty of her lines. She was young and totally unknown when she wrote them, and so she received many rejection slips that she was tempted to give up hope of finding a publisher but one day Mark Twain gave her a kind act of encouragement and released something inside of her and gave her a chance, a good deed for which she was always grateful. Have you an inner splendor that needs outward expression? All of us have, this imprisoned splendor within us. We are like the power in an atom about which they are always talking in scientific circles these days. We may not understand what they mean when they speak in terms of a split electron, but we all understand when some one talks of a hidden power, an imprisoned splendor in human beings. Jesus puts it more simply when he said "The Kingdom of heaven is within you." We have all heard these magic words hundreds of times, so often 111 fact that their terrific impact escapes us. The Kingdom of heaven? The realm of love and poise. The splendor of God himself with all its cleansing healing power? The answer is YES it is there! That is exactly what Jesus said and meant. little children have it. (Matt. 18:3-5) You have it too.
