Men "In The Knew" Are Taking
Tenic • Stomachic • Stiaralaat
Rev. Dr. Eugene Carson Blake,
stated clerk of the United Pres
byterian Church.
*We have a national crisis,"
Dr. Blake said In a sermon at
the Riverside Church, "which
may lead to all sorts of violence
and even revolution, if we do
not now decide to throw our
persons and our Influence into
changing the segregated pat
terns of American life.
"The Christian church in
America does not look much
like a Christian church as far
as race is concerned ” he con
tinued.
Concrete Action
He offered the following "very
concrete actions" as steps which
would help overcome t h e
church's inertia:
1. Write to Senators and Rep
resentatives urging passage of
stronger civil rights legislation
and begin to demonstrate.
2. Join civil rights organiza
tions such as the NAACP and
CORE and others.
1 Prayer for the Negro com
munity and its leaders.
4. Use personal influence at
work "to see that jobs are open
ed to Negroes who are qualified
and that your business will train
unqualified Negroes the same
way you train and upgrade pres
6. Make It possible for any
body who "has the money" to
buy and rent In your own town.
"A part of the crisis we face
in the church is that Negro
Christians have by now largely
lost their faith in the sincerity
of the professions of white Chris
tians in the matter of race," he
declared.
"If we do not act the way we
have talked, the Negro com
munity will turn increasingly
from the Christian church to
which up until now Negroes have
been amazingly loyal."
Rally To Hear
Powell On Tape
A taped message from Rep
Adam Clayton Powell on "The
Balck Revolution — What Next,
will be one of the highlights of

beginning at 3 p.m.
The rally is being sponsored

Association in the Americas, of
which Lewis H. Mlchaux is chair
man and Alex Premph is public
relations director. Mr. Mlchaux
said leading civil rights spokes
men in the city have been In
