But was not Dr. King’s letter ‘news’ and did it not come from a reputable source?” Members of the Board which rendered this decision are H. P. Sloan of Xew York, O. W. Fifer of Cincinnati, E. L. Mills of San Francisco, R. X. Brooks, of Xew Orleans, Dan Brummit of Kansas City, L. H. Bigbee of Cincinnati, and W. E. J. Gratz of Chicago. Dr. King was himself a member of this hoard for eleven years as editor of the Southwesteni Christian Advocate, and upon, his retirement the Book Committee said of him: “As an editor and preacher, Dr. King has been a consistent champion of human and religious values and an uncompromising advocate of Justice, racial integrity, and good will.” The action by tile church officials has come as a shock to many Negro communicants, as well as leaders of the Negro group, who fek that Dr. King’s views would be given a thorough airing within the church, and that such action might make unnecessary the development of a race-wide fight. But many leaders now feel that since the church has apparently taken the stand that it must force through the plan, even to the extent of muzzling opponents, a concerted drive against the plan is now more necessary than ever to preserve the principle of free speech and free press within the church. “Christian Century Editorial’’ CHICAGO, March 12.— (Calvin Service Flash) — Although the Methodist Church has officially banned discussion of Dr. L.

King’s figni against the unification plan, Uie New York pastor has found a champion in “The Christian Century," published here. In an editorial published last week captioned “Negro Methodists Resort to Courts”, the magazine which is “an undenominational journal of religion” edited by Charles Clayton Morrison, with such distinguished contributors as Reinhold Niebuhr, Joseph Fort Newton, and Kirby Page, says in pa rt: “Negroes Have Stake” “Although it is more than doubtful that legal action can be successful, the fact that it is being resorted to is significant, even ominous. Dr. King has been a prominent minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for more than thirty years, a member of three of the demonination’s general conferences, and was at one time editor of an official denominational weekly. That such -a man should feel so keenly about the proposed action of his church as to he willing, after exhausting other means of protest to enter the courts to prevent it is a fact, not to be ignored, the more so as the vote in the annual conferences clearly indicates how deep are the issues which this struggle is developing. Negroes have a stake in the Methodist Episcopal Church; the total racial situation being what it is, Negroes AS SUCH have a stake there. As time passes, it becomes increasingly evident that the white majority in that denomination has assumed a rather terrifying responsibility. It is one tiling for a majority to overrule the mere wishes of a minority; it is quite another for that majority to force the minority, however small it. may be, into what that minority considers a morally untenable position.” Crash Escape Miraculous

In warding off blows of his assailant Squires' hands were swellen twice their normal size. While the heating was being given Squires.

Records show that Radeliff has been arrested 30 times, many times escaping prison terms by paying exhorbitant sums for defense, police say, and in most cases his former victims were afraid to prefer charges against him.

The victim will probably be crippled in the left leg for the remainder of his life. In his address to the Grand Jury. Herbert Spencer, Prosecutor said, “These men are properly styled as gangsters. These fellows are not men. They are beast and sluggers, and gentlemen of the jury, we expect you to help us in stamping out such tactics as these men use.” In referring to Rudd iff he said, “This man is not worthy of any consideration. Of course he can put up a defense! . . . Why? Im>cause lie has money . . . money that he has l*eat people out of . . . that he has obtained in his barbarous way.

Every human on the face of th^ft wide globe of cure Is destined play a specific part in this glorious machinery called life. Each is is a cog-wheel placed in a satisfactory position by degtiny to perform an appointed task. We may be housewives or professional women. We may be Igfiorer or bankers. However, when once Issued into me realization of Our destination, we are happy in the invironment of our position. The magnetic forces of surrounding environment tend to sway humanbeings from their strategic positions first intended by Nature. We, because of human weakness not realizing our definite purpose in life, often slip from the shaft of our existence. We have allowed over-lubrication of desire to loosen the nut of stability which is planned to hold u« in place. No matter how great the desirous outcry of our souls is, to live like the other person, we cannot be happy in our struggle to exist as he exists. We may stray away from our post in this attempt but our life seemingly becomes extinguished. We can try to be happy In the out-of-ways but the machinery has stopped and our conscience makes us miserable creatures. Not until that burdensome pounding of our conscience tells us we have broken our vows to Nature, not until we revert to our specified position in this machine, do we truly realize the beauty of our existence. Destiny intended for us to be ourselves; not like the other person, and to perform the task planned for us. And this ig the most beautiful

They also saw another picture, “The Man Who Lived Twice, which also taught a vivid moral lesson. These are the type of pictures the circualtion management of The Recorder plans for the carriers to see throughouv the near when ttiey are guest of various theatres.
