SENTENCE

_By Rey. Frank Clarence for ANP,
_ Charity begins at home, and the!
kind that doesn~t is given to show
and likes to roam.

The kind our country is lavishing *upon others, while overlooking the housing conditions for
our fighting brothers, is the kind
_of charity to those at home that
almost smothers.

_ This is he kind of charity against which the Blessed Master spoke
and alowed His thoughts to linger, when He said ~~For they bind
heavy burdens and grevious to
be born, and lay them on men~s
shoulders; but they themselves

~ will not move them with one of
their fingers.~ _

Men of this ~day are always criticizing the religion of men of the
past, while others of today in the
light of this modern age, is not a
wide contrast.

Many men back there, pretend
to be charitable, but these experts
of today can really make it palatable.

Jesus even must have had a
tinge of this to contend with in
His day and even in the temple,
for He said: ~Ye blind guides,

am become as sounding brass, or
a tinkling symbal.~

Some people won't gi ve tcohar-|
ity unless it carries with it some
publicity, an dthus what should
be provoked by real Christianity
is just another cheap display or
worldly Vanity,

It is quite high time for everybody to learn, what things to keep
and what to spurn ~ Paul sets

DECATUR, Ga.~(ANP)~DeKalb county police last week
continued their investigation into
the flogging of Mr. and Mrs.
Aggie Herndon, of Wesley Chapel road, but reported no sensational turn in the case.

Some would like to enjoy that,
~attends real charitable giviffs, but!
seemingly fail to understand that
this follows only real christian
living.

Some nations give large sums
to charity with strings tied to
each bag, while some Christians
give alms too, but let their true
love lag.

There is a kind of charity that
is brassy; it resembles gold and
almost looks real ~ but not the
kind one can really feel.

Paul made this kind of shiny
make-believe charity very clear
when he said ~Though I speak

The Herndons were brutally
beaten by a band of four un| masked white men Monday
night, March 31, when the perpetrators entered their home on
a ruse of being officers in search
of stolen goods, and forced them
at gun point to ride to a wooded
area near Arabia lake where
fists, a blackjack and a pistol
were rained down on their heads
and legs. The Herndons were at
a loss to explain a motive in
the attack. Police, -led by Chief
Edward L. Foster, released nothing to the press to indicate a
near solution for the flogging.

Officers were inclined to believe that the crime was committed by outsiders. There was
also speculation that nearby; white residents might have hired

HENRY FORD PIONEER IN RACE RELATIONS

The late Henry Ford was by no means a_ progressive,
not even a liberal in politics or civic affairs. He had no
finely reasoned solutions for the social, political and economic
ills of the human race. He had no ideas about solving the
race problemi. And when he ventured beyond the confines
of an automobile assemblyline*he' appeared to be ridiculously

track racing, where the leader in the first laps ston retires

and fails to finish first. Why is this?) Why is it so difficult site

for the leader to ~come in?~
The answer is found in the strain shit ran ee ~comes.

Yet this quiet, and unassuming American amaived one
of the world~s largest fortunes through a full generation of
superior and pioneering service to mankind. More than any
other man represented the new mass production ideas upon
which America built her world ~mastery.

Mass production methods are most effective or fruitful
when they are under the direction of a mind more interested
in efficiency and minimum costs than anything else. When
for example, this directing mind is more concerned about
what a worker knows or can do than in the color of the:
worker's skin, the way is open for the efficient use of ~labor.
In the sense of openmindedness in industrial ~matters, Ford
Was one of the world~s greatest liberals. e:

Not only were his industrial methods bold and original,
his use of Negro labor was even more so. He: hired thousands of Negroes in skilled and. semi-skilled positions when
other automobile manufacturers. used Negroes most, sparingly
as laborers and porters or.not at all.. Just as he pioneered in
building low-priced cars, he. originated. the idea: of * hiring.
