How To Meet New F’riends “The only way to have a friend is to be owe,” Emerson said. But there is more to it than that. Some of us can't make new friends because we don’t meet new people. There are various ways of meeting new people. But none is better than the church. It has evsm been said that the church is the very best place to meet your future husband or wife. , The church has been called a fellowship of believers. A fellowship is “a company of friends.” So, the church is "a company of friends” who be- . lieve. Belief in God Is the reason for the existence of the church. And the primary reason for going to church should be to worship God. Nevertheless, it is a fact that meeting many new friends—fine, loyal friends—is one of the wonderful results of articling and serving the church. Go to church every week Worship God and become a jart of the “company of friends” who beHevo fax Him.

Montgomery Negro Boycott Continues , Continue Fight On Race Discrimination MONTGOMERY, Ala (IN8) — Tbp leader of Montgomery's Neero boycott against racial discrimination said his people were ready today to walk down a long., hard road tn quest of their goal. "1 guess it may well be a long road.” the Rev. Martin King, Jr., declared in judging the effect of a A’egro campaign of non-violent protest against Alabama’s transit racial segregation laws. He added: "But our position is clearly stated, and we will be wilting to suffer the consequences of this position—whatever it brings. "We can hope and pray it will be otherwise, but we are ready to aland by our cause even if It means persecution." The Rev. King, whose home was bombed, and who was arrested with 88 other leaders of Montgomery's Negro community — all participants in the 81-day transportatipn system boycott — was ready to admit there was strong, vocal opposition to what he called hie campaign for “justice and fair treatment” of Negroes. "There are many white persons actively and deeply concerned in this matter,*’ he said, “some positively so, and some negative.” In New York, Negro church officials agreed Friday to begin a nation-wide prayer campaign ap a dramatic protest against the mass arrests of the Montgomery Negro leaders. The campaign will be climaxed cn March 28 with a “national deliverance day of prayer” and a cne-hoUr work stoppage by all Negroes taking party. The long bus boycott does not involve an attack on racial segregation, its leaders contend. What Montgomery Negro bus riders have asked for, Rev. King said, is the right to bus seats on a “first come first served" baste. ■ — — - Regular Legion Meeting Monday The regular meeting of Adams Post 48, American Legion, will be held at 8 o’clock Monday night at the Legion home oh Madison street Free lunch will be served during the meeting.
