Rev. G.~H. Williams

The beauty of the church is something that passes most
of our comprehension. It was while thinking of its beauty
that John wrote: ~She is~the most beautiful and visible institution in the world.~ ~

Far surpassing the beauty that this world has to offer,
the church is not a man-made institution. The church is
a God-built organization. She is not of this world, yet
she is in this world. She came down from heaven with
her maker, Jesus Christ, and her husband. |

John the Revelator, saw her in an Apocalyptic vision
and described her thus: ~Come hither, I will show thee the
Bride, the wife having the glory of God. Her light was like
unto a stone most precious even like a Jasper Stone, clear
as crystal.~

She offers her members salvation wrought by the Holy
Spirit. The effects of this salvation are visibly manifested
in the life of the Christian. The Christian is a sie Epistle,
known and read of all men.

~The Church~ is a phrase which refers to all of the
saved peoples of all nations and colors. There are many
who have never glimpsed the beauty of the church: Some
members are doing everything in their power to attract
people of the church, while others are doing everything to
mar the beauty of the church.

Again while some Christians are striving to actively

exemplify the beauty of the church, others are carrying the|

same title and are living disgraceful lives, and still claiming
their church membership. OS |

One factor which has blinded the eyes of many is the
difference between a member of the church and a member
of the congregation. Those of us who want to be saved
must truly be actively, sincere members of the church.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. ~ A
special legislative committee
last week recommended that
Lincoln university (Mo.) be continued on the present basis to
meet the growing need for higher education.

The one-time all-Negro institution has admitted both
white and Negro students since
1954 as-a result of the U. S.
Supreme Court decision banning segregation in public
schools. Since then several
hundred white students have
attended Lincoln, although no
count has kept,

Rep. Robert C. Smith of Co-,
lumbia headed a special com-|
mittee which studied the whole

segregated system of higher
learning and concluded:

~The committee feels it woulda
be unwise for the state of Missouri to discontinue the operation of Lincoln university because:

~(a) The anticipated den:and
for higher education in Missouri
in the years ahead makes. it
imperative to retain and make
use of all facilities and staff now
available, and

~(b) Despite the Supreme
Court clarification of the rights
of Negro students to attend all
educational instituions in the
state, a need still exists for Lincoln University in our higher
education program.~

~In the present world crisis,~
Mr, Robinson told newsmen at
a press conference, ~the colored peoples of the world have
their eyes on America to see
how Negroes are treated here.

~We are expending huge sums
in giving assistance to some of
these peoples abroad but their
real attitude will be determined
in large measure by their. reaction to the way in which the
race problem is handled here at
home. We need the support of
these people.~

The NAACP, the former National League baseball star said,
by helping to improve conditions for Negroes in this country strengthens the prestige of
the nation among other countries.,

According,: he asserted, ~white
people need to support the
NAACP as strongly as do Negroes because it means as much
to them as to colored people.
The NAACP is an asset to the
nation.~

He expressed appreciation for
~the contributions. of the Spingarns and other white persons
to the NAACP cause.~
