I MM A Witness, BRAVO! GRENADA, Miss, was the dateline, and the story which melted hearts and bolstered the faith of many readers throughout the nation, was the forthright witness of a white Methodist minister in this small ravish communitya declaration that could cost his life. The Rev. C.B. Burt, who lashed out at the "bestiality" of the white adults that whipped and stomped Negro Children for "committing the sin" of integrating two previously all white schools, must know something of the power which protected David, Daniel and other of giant like faith. 0 Not one of this congregation of approximately 500, many of whom are known to be arch segregationists, walked out in protest when the brave young preacher delivered the scathing rebuke.

Instead many of them answered the clergic's call to come to the altar to pray for forgiveness. The Rev. Mr. Burt, who had been an eye witness to the savage brutality, becomes a glowing example for all of us. As he reprimanded his parishioners for glaring deeds of injustice, he also turned the light of examination on himself, as he said: 'I feel a deep sense of guilt and shame for not having been more outspoken on behalf of righteousness, law and order." 0 LEESBURG, FLA.

CLEVELAND, OHIO A multi million dollar program to build non profit housing in the Hough area of Cleveland has been set up by the Greater Cleveland Council of Churches.

The area was the scene of serious riots in July. The Council announced its four point program as an "initial response" to racial tensions in the city.

Reports from South Africa report that Anglican and Dutch Reformed churchmen applauded the action of the South African Braodcast ing Corporation a state monopoly In promptly banning Beatle records.

Numbers of radio stations in England, Europe, and the United States have also banned the Beatles. Interestingly enough, a Capetown man produced a clipping from the London Evening News of March 9 which showed Len non's storm raising remarks were actually made five months ago. In the same paper, the Earl of Aram later wrote: "One of the Beatles called John Lennon gave an interview of unparalleled stupidity. It is bad enough to have no talent, but worse to have no taste." There are many people who will be happy to be rid of the Beatles by whatever means. The remark that stirred the controversy was made in an interview with Miss Maureen Cleave of the London Evening Standard.

It went as follows: "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that: I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first rock n'roll or Christianity.

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me." In London, Miss Cleave commented that Lennon "was certainly not comparing the Beatles with Christ. He was simply observing that so weak was the state of Christianity that the Beatles were to many peple better known." Commented Paul McCartney, a member of the quartet: "People should not take all our Interviews seriously." Not all clergymen favored banning the Beatles. In Madison, the Rev. Richard Prit chard of the Westminster Presbyterian Church said those outraged by Lennon's remarks should startblamingthemselves and not the Beatles.

They should he said, "take a look at their own standards and values. There is some validity in what Lennon said. To many people today the golf course is also more popular than Jesus Christ." Elect Officers Zion Youth In Talent Contest SALISBURY, N.C. Youth activities were a very vital part of the operation of the recent AME Zion Christian Education Convention at Livingstone College, Salisbury. A brilliant array of talented young artists, representing the twelve episcopal districts of the connection, thrilled the hearts of thousands of listeners and gave the Judges a very difficult task In making a choice.

Oratory and music were the fields originally slated for consideration, but the judges found it necessary to consider musical contestants in two categories, as vocalists and as instrumentalists. As a result, Curtis Crockett of Hamtrack, representing the Fourth Episcopal District, took first prize in oratory, with Sandra Terry of Chat anooga, Sixth Episcopal District, placing second. Patricia Adams of Little Rock sixth District, was first prize winner as an instrumen UEl'J WHAT HAPPENED I (TO, ami i a A ill PRIMITIVE BAPTIST QUEENS Trenton, N.

In the short term missionary category, the need may arise for a task force of 2,000 3,000 specialists who would be available on quick notice to do a specific, short term job. Those projections of possible new forms of missionary service are given in a paper prepared by the top Methodist overseas missions executive, the Rev. Dr.
