he lives in Louisiana or Montana, J
take his place so that he may <
prove worthy of the Constitution i
undeh which he lives.
"tbe A.M.E. Zion Church states 1
the bishop, ".heartily endorses
President Eisenhower's reconv- J
piendation of aid for the public
schools of the nation through
servation; that in no case should
federal funds be given to segi'TT
gated schools or school systems.
This is in full compliance with the
intent and spirit of the Constitu- 1
tion and respectful obedience with
the lawstof the land."
"Certainly," declare the- bishops i
"race discrimination, Legalized
race and class distinctions, have
rwi pln.'P in Mill- world?of today
and, least of all, in our country.
A bond of sympathy may well j
exist between men of different.]
coloVS and creeds to give freedom
to t.he world, peace, and happiness
to all mankind."
Beseeching churchmen through',
out the nation to register a n d
~ . .vote, the bishops point out tho
wisdom of everywhere and at ail |
times, being alert in using 'all
proper means to get full reprc-P
sentation of the Negro people i
governmental employment inM
nation.
vised that all denominational or1 <
gi.nizations holding safe ~ dopo-. i
funds in banks, to transfer a si,
able and significant part to th.?.
Tri-State National Bank of Memphis,
Tehn., which undertakes tlu
financing of mortgages of " 'Ne- 1
gro farms . and busine,?sfcs in th?
sou 'i, thus meeting reprisals of

cision.by intimidating Negroes hi
the state of Mississippi; in particular,
or whenever this occurs in
? the boundaries where- Negroe
are denied- their rights and must
engage in a. fight of self-protec- tiori
to keep alive their freedom f
of speech and franchise iii this i
criK-ade of desegregation.
Rxaming the foreign polic.v ?
the United States, these churvi <
leaders indicate that our countrv
needs to be aware of what ligh.
we appeal ;1 i n among ,*preat
?*?=~ groups ami nations, "Our position
in -he United Nations," they
maintain," should not be permit!- i
ed tp go on witihout?consklei ing "
the light in which our acts place
us in the area of human relations."
: j
The bishops go on record as in
fa\or of continuing Point '4, the i
of economic exchange, for they are
convinced that helping nations in i
need by loans and relief, keens lis 1
in the business, of holding up hu-1 <
man levels around the world. ! ?
. . These Leaders look forward t->
the results of the conference call- i
ed by Asiatic leaders for June .'50 |
and known as the Asian-African I

ably o 11 India's leadership i n ;
peaceful settlement of problems. ]
- They believe that this meeting
"will turn out to be an anti-War
alliance rather than a military t
frame-up.
Especially are the bishops con- i
?T cerncd with the destiny of Africa, i
They commend the churches and ]
other groups in South Africa that, (
counsel ar.d procedures of wisdom ;
patience,- justice and good-will ]
and lament the forceful removing ;
of people, from, their homes and i
properties b y the advocate of
apa-theid. They also call upon
the-American government to join ,
with their condemnation of com- ,
munism and inhuman practices, a
note of censor, and work for the
;? United Nations, for the cessation
from this type of inhumanity,
like all such that make countless
thousands mourn."
The note that the A.M.E. Zion
Church is doing a small share toward
the highest end of good
* through the Christian in West
Africa and, to a less- degree, in
Liberia and Nigeria. * Say the
bishops,"We deplore that we have
not the means to do more ~We"
are hoping that with the coming
of our General Missionary .Can
vention in 1955 and the General,
Conference in . May 1956, there
will be a definite and effective increase
of the contribution of both
men and women, material and ef
a quipment to aid in the evangelization
of the people in the fatherland
of the Black World."
The bishops suggest that individual
A.M.E. Zion Churches btecome
sponsors of individual missions
and schools. They add, "It |
is the feeling that we can no j
longer lead the Christian crusade
for the freedom of Africa and
colored groups in the southern islands
and the Black kingdoms
With a mere handful of women in
#
f
ouf congregations.
Commending all those v-ho are
expending effort to give Christianity
a united heart and solid
front aga nst the power of evil,
the bishops' believe- the- members
of the denomination are not to be
satisfied with contributing to organizations
such as the National
Council of Churches, the American
Bible Society, World Council
of Churches and the ^Nt^tionai
Fraternal Council "of ~C run'ohev
iut must seek to establish in the
tea its??the?mem'.ipi ship ?hove
for '..he entire brotherhood, "Thin
means that we bring home froni
these great assemblies the message
of unity, cooperation a" '
ter-denominational understanding
for the common good of our people;

tnwnr<l ?nr?
of life and the salvation of all
people. ,
i in., question?of marriage a+rdivorce
as discussed by the bis-h
ons relative to the__ecelusiastica
aspirations of the clergy' emphasized
that since the A.M.E. Zion
Church is a -Methodist -Churcli
with an Episcopal background
immediately and a Catholic re
mote background, that it shotil !
abide by the "strict regulation ol
the marriage and living up to it
voy.s." The .bishops quote that
i rly ruch modification as the
Bible itself will permit cati the A
M.Tv. Zion Church of ford to indulge;?
. T h e \ f urther * stated
'Where liberties have been tak-en
beyond this, your chief pastors
must not condone. Two or three
iinLitious aspirants have requested.special
interpretation each for
..is own ease from us as custoHans
of the m'.-ed. and faith of
the Church.'' , . _
The Board oi' Bishops .have
"von a modern expression o n
this subject as it rises in the doctrine
and policy of the?A-,?IVh?EZpm
CnurcH- In. a message ad
MC'.-xed to the denomination in
'.>51 which still stands for "this
'on of our Church."
The bishops stated that there
are somen things which cruv-~i'C
ol, but t'.at "T.'ie A.M.E. Zion
'hprch never has. and never will
.t tempt?to repeal it's i standards
f r o m the teach rigs of J^sus
Christ." They stressed that it is
regrettable 11 ;t r.ny one would
utempt to pat V.'ir personal, ue.rss
I'oiward as a substitute for
"ic teach infes~?T~ J"us in any of
these moral measures to protect
and guarantee spiritual character.
