Baptist Clrarelt, catder tb leadership of popular Rev. William Holmes Borders, is rapidly growing into an interracial church.

And, Rev. Mr. Borders is not inviting the revolutionary de vtlopment in this Deep South area which is headquarters for several nationally known hate organizations. He is letting his call and work for God take their course. Already two white persons nave been baptized and are regular communicants at Wheat Street and there are also an Indian and a Chinese on the church rolls.

Regularly each Sunday night Wheat Street's audience of communicants numbersjbetween fifty and seventy five whites who go to listen to Rev. Mr. Borders' unique and straightforward Biblical interpretations in the light of contemporary happenings. Over a year ago, June 1, 1947 to be exact. Rev.

Mr. Borders took a fair skinned woman into the church. He paid no particular attention since he had been accustomed to taking light skinned Negroes into Wheat Street in Emt numbers. Before she was baptized Mrs. Bertha ts of a Juniper Street address had become the subject Democracy In Your State Capital Negroes in Lansing Not Too Aggressive In Demanding Rights By COLLINS GEORGE (BdMe of The ConrUr'i Detroit Edition) LANSING, Mich.

The Negro citizens of Lansing are a hard workinfl' moderately prosperous group who live well among themselves, but who, having a certain measure of oomfort, have not been too aggressive in demanding the full measure of their rights as citizens of the State of Michigan. Their own city government is perhaps the worst offender ajralnst them the matter of affording Negro Lansingites the full measure oi ineir aue as citizens.
