ThnnwUy, October 14,1954 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE F«f> Flrf Hymn 3s Q ri CLINT A BONNBR When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder A Utile girl falls to answer when her name is called James M. Black walked along the streets of his native Williamsport, Pa,, with a heavy heart. Bessie had never failed before to answer roll call at Sunday School. Black knew because he caHed the foil himself. But when Bessie didn’t answer that morning he celled her name a second time. Still she failed to answer and he knew something was wrong. Then somebody said Bessie had been suddenly taken ill and doctors _ held little hope for her. To Social Worker James Black, Bessie was more than just another recruit for his Sunday School class at.4 young peoples’ society. She lived on the ctside of the tracks in what was called before the turn of the century "The Sawdust City.” Black had found her one. day sitting on the broken down steps of a broken down house. Of course she would come to Sunday School. She would be there the next Sunday. Then rtie looked at her ragged clothes and said maybe she couldn’t come after all. Whan the trumpet of the Lord sholl sound, and time shall be no more. And tha morning brooks, eternal, bright and fair; When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore. And the roll is called up yonder. I'll be there. On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise. And the glory of His resurrection share; But the next day somebody left a box of new clothes at Bessie’s house. Every Sunday after that when James Black called the roll, he looked up and sort of smiled when, he came to Bessie’s name. But now, for the first time, she failed to answer. As he walked home that Sunday in 1893 James Black got to thinking that maybe the next time Bessie answered to her name it would be at the greet roll call. Then he got to wondering if his own name might be on the same roll. Besides teaching Sunday School Black loved to play the piano and write poetry. He said that the words for a hymn just seemed to come to him spontaneously and he .wrote them down that afternoon. That night he set them to music, Blade collected his poems into a little book he called “Songs of the Soul.’’ In the book is the three-verse poem he wrote just before a little girl named Bessie went to answer to her name. . . . 1 When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies. And the roll is called up yonder. I'll be there. Let us labor for the Matter from the down till setting sun. Let us talk of all his wondrous love and core; Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth Is done. And the roll is coHed 1 up yonder, I'M be there.

Real Estate Men Told Newspapers Best Ad Medium Florence, Oct. 8—“Newspapers are our best medium of advertis ing,” Claude E. Creason of Co lumbia, president of the largest real estate agency in the Caro lina!, told a broker’s panel meet ing at the convention of South Carolina Real Estate boards to day. The annual convention, in its second day of three here, was ad vised by Creason to always turn to newspapers for their cheapest, most effective means of placing their products before the public. He said that classified advertis ing has proved best for most real estate business while display ad vertising is best for special of ferings. OFFICE SUPPLIES CHRONICLE PUBLISHING CO. Week Maffced By Racial School Boycott Foreign $$ Invested In U. S. Firms By BEM PRICE Associated Press Staff Writer Washington, Oct. 9 — To the traditional three R’s which they have outgrown was added a fourth-racialism — for some North-South border states the school children here and in two past two weeks. Police ringed 16 schools here and in Baltimore this week to prevent anti-Negro violence. The week before state and local po lice guarded a school in Milford, Del. « In Milford, Baltimore and Washington thousands of chil dren, often spurred by adults, demonstrated against the pres ence of Negro children in pre viously all-white schools. Fear of violence kept hundreds of children at home. Fear was spread in Baltimore at least by anonymous telephone calls to parents. Despite the noisy outbursts the fact remained that by and large integration was proceeding peacefully in most schools in the affected areas. There are mixed classes in 52 of Baltimore’s 190 schools. In Washington Negroes attend 94 of the 122 public schools Baltimore and Washington erf- fiicals reacted slowly but stern ly to check the adolescents’ up risings and by Friday, the end of the school week, the disturbances were dwindling. In Cleveland, however, racial tensions were reported Friday at non-segregated Patrick Henry junior high school. Some 30 white pupils told their principal they were frightened by Negro classmates. Later a 16-year- old white girl, who attends another school, reported she was beaten by 15 Negro teen-agers near the Patrick Henry school. She quot ed one of the group as saying, “we know about you. You came over here to cause trouble.” Through each of the student outbursts in tee three cities, Washington, Baltimore and Mil ford, the name of Bryant W. Bowles, Jr., 34, of Arlington, Va., ran like a thread. Bowles, a native of Florida, is the self-appointed president of the National Association for the Advancement of White People. A Marine reservist, he boasts that he served seven and a half years in World War H and Ko rea. His Marine record shows he put in eight months on Guam, saW no combat and earned no personal decorations. His time during Korea was spent in the United States. His police record in Baltimore recounts four arrests for failure to pay wages, three for false pre tense and one for larceny after trust. In each case Bowles was fined or given a suspended sen tence upon promise of restitu tion. » - Bowles says the group he heads is opposed to integration and will fight it by any legal, peaceful means. There is nothing to connect Bowles directly with any of the school disturbances although af ter each had started he has ap peared to seek paying recruits for his movement and to lend support to the pro-segregation forces. Just how the protest in Mil ford was organized no one pro fesses to know. Both the state and local school boards voted to end segregation in public schools in advance of any order that might be handed down by the U- S. Supreme Court. Now York.—Foreigners have been finding a lot of money since the war to invest in this country. Value of their holdings here ap proaches 24 billion dollars now, three times what it was before the war. In addition, other nations and their central banks have been building up their reserves—and in the process Uncle Sam’s stock of gold has dropped by three billion dollars in the last five years. But the Federal Reserve Board reports that the private demand for gold the world over is now at a postwar low. The steam has gone out of the frenzy that saw 4V4 bil lion dollars worth of the metal ones. > Private investment abroad by Americans is now just about the same as the total of foreign hold ings here, the Northern Trust Co, of Chicago notes today in its Oc tober business comment. But that is only part of the picture. Add ni the U. S. government’s investment abroad in loans and so on and the total of American holdings rises almost to 40 billion dollars. There is another striking differ ence in American holdings abroad and foreign investments here. Foreigners have 14t4 billion dol- Speciol Services At Head Springs Church There will be a series of spec ial preaching services at Head Springs Associate Reformed Presbyterian church October 15- 17.
