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.

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-
