The President's State Of The Union Message
In his stale of the Union message before the 85th., Congress
the President of the United States again went on record as reaffirming 
his former position of government providing a greater
freedom for all citizens.
In a former message he dwelt at length with those essentials
touching upon conditions affecting the general people without
regards of race; creed or conditions. In that the message in its
soundness goes to the very heart-string of every true believer
in our system of a government by laws.
President Eisenhower's position on the agricultural, economic
and the industrial procession, now a leading employer among our
population was full Of those helpful suggestions by which the
country is fast coming into normalcy.
On the Civil Rights front, the President asked Congress to pass
additional laws strengthening Civil Rights. His program on this
phase of American life includes:
(1) Creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate any
violation of Civil Rights and make recommendations.
This is in keeping with his message during the last Congress
for stronger Civil Rights regulations for a swift move toward the
full observance of the decision outlawing segregation.
(2) Establishment of a Civil Rights division in the Department 
of Justice.
(3) Enactment of new laws to protect the right to vote
(4) Amendment of existing laws to permit the federal
government to seek preventative relief from civil courts in Civil
Rights cases.
This Four-Point Program as handed to the Congress by the
President will bring into action the various Committees by which
such bills will reach the Congress.
Those who long for a lasting-peace, a realization of a government 
by laws and not of hysteria, and as a general protector
for all the people must find a general comfort in these positive
recommendations coming first hand to the law-making body of
this nation from the President himself.
All in all, the message, full of those "must" suggestions, is a
sound one; it goes to the very heart of the various problems affecting 
the nation's well-being and it can be truthfully said that
the President again scores on this great gridiron of faith and
those cardinal principles upon which this government was founded. 


Let Not The Mania For Bombing Of
Churches Spread
The laudable example of non-violence on the part of an
aggrieved segment of citizens of Montgomery, Alabama in the bus
segregation affair assuredly had no effect upon those responsible
for and participating in the recent bombing of a church in that
same city.
Hardly would the dark ages produce a picture more gruesome 
in its sordid aspects of the last degree in intolerance and
cowardly reprisal than the recent attacks on churches and homes
in Alabama's capital city and otherwise rendering a disservice to
the community and nation in general.
Kidnaping and lynching individuals were not enough; lawlessness 
practiced on an unsuspecting minority would extend on
into doing violence to places of worship. The church is not even
to be spared in that cancerous infection unleashed in these hours
of unrest and frustration.
The beginning was the harmless and "painless" pastime of
"threshing" individuals; it grew into-night riding and horse-whipping, 
thence to kidnaping and finally lynching. In this school
many quirks were let in to condition a criminal personality now j
emerging in the forms of outlawry, open defiance to a court order,
threats and counter threats, underworld tactics of scare-phobia
and finally, but regretably the blaming of a house of worship
for its contribution to religion which teaches tolerance, long-suffering 
and non-violence.
Sad days are in the offing when churches would be suspected 
for carrying out the provisions of the gospel and the word of
God to the extent that they are not to be immune from such
intolerant treatment accorded citizens and fired upon by bombs.
We cannot remain effective in our preambles of faith and
those exhortations we would commend to a famished world
should the bombing of churches be allowed along with those
quirks of lawlessness visited upon minorities and in open defiance
of the law of this land.

Polio — Here's Your Challenge
When the man born blind was brought to our lord, the
question was posed by the curious, the self-seeking, the unbelievers 
— "who hath sinned, this man or his parent?"
Our Lord gave the ages something over which to ponder
in serious situations like these, in which there are even babies not
immune from the dreadful malady of polio.
for latter day consumption and in this particular drive the
answer of Jesus to these queries, that the man nor his parent
had sinned, and that such a handicap visited upon the young man
was neither contingent to his nor his parent's sin, but a plan by
which our Lord would give through his handicap and sufferings
the opportunity — to practice charity, that great and all powerful 
concept with-out which this would be a dark, cruel world.
So, once a year these who are sufferers for the great cause
with which the Lord would make us acquainted, are extended as
an open opportunity for the more fortunate to learn and practice
charity.
The Warm Springs Foundation arid its affiliate organizations
and those upstanding philantrophists are just now at the first milestone 
of a great victory Tri research for the treatment and cure of
polio.
In the study of the dreadful malady rendering people maimed 
and crippled, many other panaceas for the treatment of other
diseases are not without their occurrences to those doing research.
In the outlay of capital meant for the support of this research,
could you conscienciously say that your dimes are in its coffers?
Can, you claim a part in this great task of relieving the young,
the old and the handicapped of something they had no part in.
occasioning?
The roll-call is well on; the cause has already been sold and
those eternally grateful for their own good fortune could no better
make such an expression than in entering their contribution in this
grand cause.
Polio dreaded word, but here's your challenge.

REVIEWING
THE NEWS
BY WILLIAM GORDON
Managing Editor


Not by choice, but by circumstance's, the South, since its inception, 
has been caught in a political web of domination. The
net result has been a sort of twisted concept of race relations,
the misuse of political power, out of which has emerged a climate
of peculiar hatred. This has helped to condition the thinking and
action, of people, in the South, many of them innocent and decent.
A good example of this was the incident in Walker County
a few days ago where a group of people, in automobiles, called
on a man by the name of Crane, and asked him not to let a
Negro live in his home on his 10 acre farm. Sensing the climate
and temperment of the group, Crane agreed to their whims
and promised to abide by their wishes. Like any decent person,
he thought this Was the end of the matter. But the mob thought
otherwise. Mobs never submit to compromise, and should be
dealt with in the same manner.
A day or so later, he awoke to find his farm house burned to
the ground irr ashes: So the mob got its wishes. There will be a
"spotless" white community. But there is another side to this
whole matter it seems.
One wonders where to place the blame; on the mob or the
political system. It is my opinion that the latter is the blame for
discord. People are aroused to mob action through political
agitation, especially when the leaders are lacking in refinement
and common sense.?
The blame should go to those political leaders who excessively 
refer to race in their campaigns rather than the issues
that concern the people at large; those who resort to emotions
rather than logic. Stupidity can easily get out of hand.
A good case of this has been the dynamite bombings in.
Montgomery, Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama. Ranting political 
leaders who resort to race and segregation as campaign issues
are largely responsible for the emerging hate groups that are
rapidly discrediting the South today. Mobs do not move without
leadership. And one should keep in mind that whatever mobs do,
is action outside the law. Their program is one of anarchy, their
motive is hate, based on Superstition and fear, illogical and
groundless. They will resort to almost any end, as long as they
are allowed to function. They-con do so when there is no move
to curb them as is true in Alabama and other parts of the South
where bigotry is on the march. The absurdity: They even advocate
a "spotless white community."

Would Set Up

flourish. His voice was firm, his
demeanor serious.
The message drew praise from
Republicans and — promises of
"careful study" by democratic
leaders. Some democrats, netably
House Speaker Sam Ray,
Texas, disagreed with the Chief
Executive's statement that his administration 
has kept the cost of
living "relatively stable."
Mr. Eisenhower pledged further
government economies but pave no
hint that he would approve an early
tax cut.
Though the President, did not refer, 
directly to the British political
upheaval which resulted in Sir Anthony 
Eden's resignation as Prime
Minister, he emphasized the vital
importance of America's alliances
with "nations that have proved
themselves dependable defenders of
freedom."
He said, in allusion to the differences 
between the U. S. and
Britain and France on the Middle
East crisis, "repeatedly in recent
months the collapse of these regional 
alliances has been predicted "
Mr. Elsenhower added: "The
strains upon them have been at
times indeed severe. Despite these
strains our regional alliances have
proved durable and strong, and dire
predictions of their disintegration
haw proved completely false."
The President's report dealt in
broad terms with the nation's domestic 
and International problems.
He pointed out that his specific
legislative requests would lie spelled
out in later messages.
These were highlights of the 3.500-word 
document:
ARMED STRENGTH — "Our

survival in today's world requires
modern, adequate, dependable miliary 
strength our security
force is the most powerful in our
peacetime history. It can punish
heavily any enemy who undertakes
10 attack us ... yet we must not
delude ourselves that safety necessarily 
increases as expenditures for
military research or forces in being
go up ... any program that entangers 
our economy could defeat
us."
COST OF PEACE — "The cost
of peace is something we must face
boldly, fearlessly. Beyond money,
it involves, changes in attitudes,
the renunciation of old prejudices,
even the sacrifice of some seeming
self-interest."
IRON CURTAIN REVOLTS —
The President said that "the surging 
and understandable tide of nationalism 
is marked by widespread
revulsion and revolt against tyranny, 
injustice, inequality and poverty 
joined in a common hunger 
for freedom, men and women
and even children pit their spirit
against guns and tanks." He declared: 
"The changes already accomplished 
foreshadow a world
transformed by the spirit of freedom." 

MIDDLE EAST — Mr. Eisenhower 
said the broad military and economic 
powers he has asked to block
communist agression in the Middle
East, are of "vital and immediate importance 
to the nation's and the
free world's security and peace."
EAR EAST — The President said
the potential strength of newly independent 
peoples in Asia gives
"new assurance for peace and stability 
in the world — if they can
"etain their indenendence."
He added: "Should they lose
freedom and be dominated by an
aggressor the world-wide effects
would imperil the security of the
free world."
DISARMAMENT — The Chief
Executive called, for "a sound and
safeguarded agreement for oven
skies, unarmed aerial sentinels." He
said the U. S. within the United
Nations, would "enter any reliable
agreement which would reverse the
trend, toward ever more devastating
nuclear weapons." He also said the
U. S. would agree to mutual control 
of "outer space missle and satelite 
development."
REFUGEES — Mr. Eisenhower
asked congressional action to aid
escapees from red oppression. He
said: "The recent historic events
in Hungary demand that all free
nations share to the extent of their
capabilities in the responsibility of
granting asylum to victims of communist 
persecution."
The President's report on domestic 
issues included:
SCHOOL AID — He said "high
priority should be given the school
construction bill. This will benefit
children of all races throughout the
country — and children of all races
need schools now." He added: "I
am hopeful that this program can
be enacted on its own merits, uncomplicated 
by provisions dealing
with the complex problem of integration." 

CIVIL RIGHTS — Mr. Eisenhower 
repeated his 1956 plea for enactment 
of his four-point program
which, he said, is aimed at "the goal
of fair and equal treatment of citizens 
without regard to race or col
or." 

AGRICULTURE — He declared
"I am gratified that the long slide
in farm income has been halted
and that further improvement is in
prospect," The President said legislative 
recommendations to aid
farmers would be confined in his
budget message next week.
WATER RESOURCES — The
Chief Executive called for a partnership 
of federal, state and local
governments to do away with "piecemeal 
operations" and assure "the
economy and efficiency of development 
and operation."
GOVERNMENT SPENDING —
The President promised "Through
the next four years, I shall continue
to insist that the executive departments 
and agencies of the government 
search out additional ways to
save money and manpower." He
added: "I urge that the congress
be equally watchful in this matter."
FINANCIAL INQUIRY — The
President called for congressional
creation of a "commission of able
and qualified citizens" to investigate 
the "nature, performance and

adequacy of our financial system,
both in terms of its direct service
to the whole economy and in terms
of its function as the mechanism
through which monetary and credit
policy takes effect."
INFORMATION SERVICE — He
said he would ask moore funds for
the U. S. Information Agency because 
"just as, in recent months,
the voice of communism has become
more shaken and confused, the
voice of truth must be more clearly
heard."

"To love is to know the sacrifice
which eternity exacts from life."
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? HOW
DO YOU KNOW? DO YOU REALLY 
LOVE? WHAT MOTIVATES
YOUR DAILY ACTS?
A Christian is one who has come
to be motivated by love.
Love is so necessary that without
it we get nowhere and amount to
nothing according to the Apostle
Paul in I Cor. 13 (Read the whole
chapter).
John, in his first letter, said Love
IS GOD, and it is also man's way
of reaching God, for he that abideth 
in God, and God abideth in
him.
Thomas A Kempis in THE IMITATION

whatever we do in love, though the
accomplishment appear small,
counts tremendously.

of his lectures to. Yale divinity students, 
said that "the whole end of

theology is love. It seems hard to
realize that this is so, but so it is. If
your theology does not make you
loving, it has riot Christianized you
and to that extent is not a Christian
theology.
All ecclesiasticism, and all doctrinalizing, 
is in order to produce
character, and the soul or character 
is love."
Love is the Christian measuring
stick for our lives; the aim, the
goal, the fixed star by which to
chart our voyage. The supreme object 
says Christianity, is to grow
in love, arid without that kind of
growth all our striving is vanity
and futility.
The Christian life is a God-centered 
pattern of faith and action
indicated in worship, thanksgiving,
humility, service or sacrifice, and
love.
If you want an analysis of the
Christian Pattern which embrace
the other four or five words as it
does love, please call at your Vance
Avenue Branch of the Cossitt Library 
and ask for your copy of THE
CHRISTIAN PATTERN by Tigner
and read it through.

I DIDN'T improve my seven
o'clock pupil's dancing much,
but I got through the hour without 
his asking for a refund. The
moment he walked out the door
the phone in my studio rang.
"Hello," I said.
"Hester? Leone here." It was
the receptionist.
"Oh, yes, Leone"
"Your boy friend phoned."
"Oh." That would-be Steve. I
kind of liked him being my boy
friend again. "Am I to call him?"
"He left a message. Hester,
you understand that we can't inberrupt 
lessons for phone calls."
"No, of course not Am I to
call him?"
"No, he said he couldn't get
those tickets for the hockey
game. He'll meet you at your
place instead of the Garden."
"Oh, Thanks so much, Leone."
We hung up.
I felt better. Steve was safe;
he was sound. I felt very much
better ... then, looking at my
studio with its glass walls broken
only by a single door that nobody
but Steve had used at the time
of Anita Farrell's murder, the relief 
was blasted from my mind.
It was still necessary to prove
that someone else, not Steve, had
murdered his dancing teacher.
There was some work I could
do along that line. I could see
the teacher in Studio J and find
out which pupil of hers had made
a trip to Rhinebeck Place.
I had five, minutes, before my
next lesson. I opened the door
and stepped out into the corridor.
The most vacant-looking but absolutely 
the prettiest girl in the
world was staring at me from the
doorway opposite mine. Perhaps
I was being unfair. If a girl had
an angel face like that, she would
be silly to soil It with anything
resembling a living, human e
preasion. This girl was wearing a
low-cut evening gown, so lowcut 
mat I was sure it not only
broke the rules of Mr. Oliver
Bell's establishment, but was illegal 
in most states of our union.
Her voice surprised me. I had
expected It to tinkle, like little
bells or a Christmas tree caught
in a draft. It was alto, a rattier
nasal alto.
"Hello," she said. "You're Hester 
Frost."
"That's right"
"I'm a teacher, too. My name
is Hooray Rose."
I repeated her first name questioningly. 

"Yes," she said. "Like ir hiphip-hooray." 

"Oh," I said. "Of course."
She giggled. "That isn't my
real name. Some pss agent gave
it to me. When I was a now girl
my first night club job fle
wanted to call me Hooray F.

Rose. You know, 'F' for 'For.'
But I thought mat sounaed conceited." 
Without shifting gears,
Hooray said. 1 admire you very
much, Hester. What guts!"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Taking Anita's place. Just
think ... maybe you danced with
the Waltzer today. God! He had
you in his arms. You might've
been killed, too. You might be
dead now. Frankly, I'm scared.
Petrified, if you ask me!"
She looked about as trightened
as a lollypop but when I indicated 
that I was concerned about
her, she was delighted.
"Oh, yes!" she said. "Me having 
the studio across from
Anita's. The Waltzer might decide 
he has to kill me."
"No, I think the Waltzer would
let you ve."
"But maybe I saw hun!"
"Did you?"
"No, but the police thought
maybe I did. Honestly, don't they
ask a lot or questions. But I
don't remember who Anita's
seven o'clock pupil was I don't
remember ever seeing him. But
maybe he's afraid I did. It
wouldn't surprise me if he did
kill me. But I guess it would be
best to cross that bridge when I
come to It."
"That's sensible," "I said, "Hooray, 
how well did you Know
Anita?"
"Oh ... hot so well, I guess.
We used to talk like this between,
classes once in a while."
"Did you like her?"
"Not so much, but don't mind
me. It was Jealousy, pure and
simple. Jealousy, It's a problem
with me, I'm the jealous type.
Frankly. I find that I don't enjoy
the company of girls as gorgeous
as Anita. Who does your hair?"
"Paul, on East Fifty-eighth
Would you like me to got you an
appointment?"
"No," Hooray said. Then she
added quickly, "Oh, I didn't
mean to be rude. I want to be
friends. I'm going to like you
Hester."
"Thanks, Hooray. Speaking of
friends, did Anita have any
special friends here at the
school?"
"Not as far as I know. She
gave everybody the big hello. I've
got to admit she sure had the
personality."
"Did she nave any special enemies?" 

Frankly, I don't know anything 
about anybody's enemies."
What about Bub Spencer?"
Him! what about him?"
"Well, Hooray, when I met him.
I got such a strange feeling from
him. He is so indifferent about
what happened to Anita that it
bothered me."
"That's just him being himself.
He doesn't believe in crying over

split milk. He says it's inefficient.
He's scientific, about his life. It's
gruesome."
"You seem to know Bob pretty
well, Hooray."
She nodded. "He got the any
job here. He was a pal of an artist 
I used to pose for a lot when
I was modelling. You Know
what? That crumb! He wanted
a commission from my salary the
first six months I worked here!"
"You didn't pay him, die you?"
"No, but he Kept arguing and
arguing. It wasn't the money, and
said, it was the principle of the
thing."
"Are you sure he was serious?"
"Listen, that guy is only serious. 
He can't be any other way.
He seems kind of nice ... but
he's even serious about that. Being 
nice is his policy."
"Hooray, who has that studio
all, do you?"
"I don't know whether I do or
not. When I'm with him, I like
him. Even when we are arguing
about the commission, the crumb!
But when you get away from him
and start to think oh, I guess
I feel sorry for him, mat's how
I feel about him. Hester, now old
are you? Frankly?"
"Oh, twenty-eight or nine,
around in there someplace."
"Don't be discouraged. You'll
last for years yet."
"I hope to live to be ninety at
least."
"I didn't say live," Hooray said.
"I said last."
"Hooray, who has that studio
there Studio J?"
"Dottie Harris. She's adorable."
"Is she working tonight?"
"Of course!" Hooray considered 
me ignorant. "She has the
same schedule I do!"
"Has Dottie worked here
long?"
but I wasn't permitted to do
any research on a second member 
or Mr. Bell's faculty. My
eight o'clock student was saying
hello and asking it I was his new
teacher, Hester Frost. I admitted
that I was and took him in tow.
I rather liked the young man. He
didn't seem disappointed that I,
not Hooray, was his instructor.
That somewhat compensated for
the fact that Hooray could instantly 
tell by looking at me that
she was going to like me.
At the nine o'clock intermission, 
my departing and arriving
pupils didn't give me time to visits
Dottle Harris. But at ten I
forced the issue. The day's work
was done and I had to get to
Studio J before Dottie went
home. I just made it.

MY WEEKLY
SERMON
Rev. BLAIR T. HUNT
PASTOR
MISSISSIPPI BLVD. CHRISTIAN
CHURCH, MEMPHIS

The Evangelist Philip preached
the greatest sermon in his life to
one man.
Jesus Christ preached one of His
greatest sermons to a single person, 
a woman, a bad woman too,
but he preached it with so much
power that he stirred her soul to
such depths that she went out into
the city and told the people.
So the Evangelist Philip delivered
his chiefest sermon to one man
a eunoch riding in a chariot.
What did he preach? He preached 
Jesus. There is no other message 
to offer a dying world.
Paul said to the Corinthians: "I
am determined to know nothing
among you save Jesus Christ and
him crucified.
Philip, the evangelist preached
Jesus to the religiously seeking eunoch. 
We wish we had the entire
sermon. But in the eighth chapter
of Acts we have the synopsis.
We imagine we can hear him,
when he opens at the fifty-third
chapter of book of Isaiah, and begins 
to tell his message when he
says:
"It is the same Jesus that was
begotten by the Holy Spirit, conceived 
by the Virgin Mary and born
in the city of Bethlehem in a stable; 
it is the same Jesus who
when twelve years of age, stood in
the temple among the doctors and
asked questions that they could not
answer, and answered the questions 
that they did not understand,
it is the same Jesus who unstopped
the ears of that man who was deaf
who had never heard the sweet
music of the birds or the voice of
his mother: it Is the same Jesus
who unloosed the tongue of that
one who was dumb, who had never

learned to lisp the name of God;
it is the same Jesus who touched
the fever stricken patient and caused 
the fever to subside; it is the
same Jesus who opened, the eyes
of the wayside beggar, Bartimeus;
it is the same Jesus who visited the
grave of Lazarus and gave him back
to his sisters: it is the same Jesus
who prayed in the dark garden of
Gethsamane ..... 'Not my will but
thine be done'; it is the same Jesuswho 
hung upon the cross and poured 
out his blood for the sin of the
world; it is the same Jesus who
broke the bonds of death and came
ghost; it is the same Jesus, who,
on the morning, of the third day
broke the bonds of death and come
out of the grave; and brought life
and immortality to light through
the gospel; it is the same Jesus who
stood on Olivet's brow and there,
in the presence of his Apostles, gave
to them the world wide commission, 
'go ye therefore and preach
the gospel to every creature'; it is
the same Jesus who was received
back into heaven and seated on the
right hand of the Father, crowned
King of Kings and Lord of Lords."
Yes, let our lives be sermons
preaching the gospel and the gospel
is Jesus Christ.
