Negro Is Church Executive Leader CLEVELAND UP) Rev. Dr. Arthur D. Gray, 43, recently took over as the first Negro to head the executive committee of the Congregational Christian churches general council. Dr. Gray, minister of the Church of the Good Shepherd at Chicago, will head the committee running the council’s affairs until its next biennial session. His election came as the coun cil ended its meeting here. The council passed a resolution urg ing “intensified efforts” to end white Negro segregation in Con gregational churches, especially at Washington, D. C. —Courtesy Lincoln Journal. First Negro Graduated From E. St. Louis High EAST ST. LOUIS, 111. (ANP). The first Negro was graduated from East St. Louis high here when Wardell Brooks was awarded his diploma. He entered East St. Louis high as a result of an Illinois statute passed by the state legislature which refuses state aid to school districts that segregate students in their schools. He expects to attend normal college to study for teaching. Ul timately, he hopes to have a med ical career. Young Brooks lives with his mother, Mrs. Carnary Banks, and his stepfather, Will Banks.

The line between those who accomplish things and those who fail is a dim one. Just what is it that makes a man great? El bert Hubbard has one answer to that question: “Moses was a soldier, a diplo mat, an executive, a writer, a teacher, a prophet, a stonecutter. Besides all these, he was a farmer —a working man, one who when forty years of age tended flocks and herds for a livelihood. Every phase of the outdoor life of the range was familiar to him. And the greatness of the man is re vealed in the fact that his plans and aspirations were so far be yond his achievements that at last he thought he had failed. Ex ultant success seems to go with that which is cheap and transient. All great teachers have, in their own minds, been failures—they saw so much further than they were able to travel.”—Elbert Hub bard in Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. But beyond this restlessness to accomplish more and more, great men and great leaders have one other quality which has nothing to do with merely human achieve ment: faith in a living God! He became the slaves’ friend. In the graphic words of the Epistle to the Hebrews, he “chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleas ures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt.” He broke with all that stood for Egyptian power by slay ing the Egyptian lord in defense of a Hebrew slave, and he was forced to fly. He fled alone. Years passed. Then came the great reve lation: The burning bush, the awe of the unseen Presence; the shoes removed from off his feet; the quivering question, “Lord, in whose mysterious presence I am kneeling, who art thou?” And in the answer translated in our ver sion, “I am that I am,” which said to him, “I am the Living One.” He of whom you have read in the secret lore of Egypt; whose name is revealed in the name of your birthplace; whom you have longed to know and tried to serve; I am the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. I, after whom you have groped so loyally in the darkness of Egypt, and he who led your fathers hither, and I have chosen you to be my servant and the deliverer- of my people. That strength of will, which enabled Moses to master the temptations of Egypt, came from his faith in the living God. It was an example of the “meekness” to which is promised the inheritance of the earth. It grew stronger with each new revelation of God he received. To show that fully would be to repeat the story of his life. Noth ing could thwart him, nothing could make him turn aside because where others saw only a pillar of cloud and fire, he saw the High and Holy One whose garments had swept his cheeks when, as a young man, he knelt before the altars of Egypt; with whom, when an old man, he talked as a man “talketh with his friend.” —William Burnet Wright, in Master of Men (Hough ton-Mifflin) Lena Horne (Continued from Page 9 Later, the said that she and her husband had considered them selves plain, ordinary people who had the right to conceal their marriage if they wanted to. Asked if they anticipated Holly wood reprisals against them be cause of their marriage, Miss Horne and her husband said that the MGM studio, which employs him and which hired her until she got a contract release re cently, has known about the mar riage all along. Neither expected any problems of either a business or social nature. Miss Horne’s greatest frustra tion in Hollywood has been the refusal of the movie industry to cast her in serious or dramatic roles dealing with the problem of racial advancement. She has now given up all hope that the vici ous Hollywood code which re stricts opportunity for Negro stars will be broken. She told this reporter that she is seriously considering making movies in Europe if the oppor tunity presents itself, sinee she thinks she will get better parts in England and France. But if all goes well, Miss Horne plans to continue to make her home in America. While in Paris, Miss Horne is having a wardrobe of clothes made by Paquin and Alex Magui, well-known Paris couturiers. In addition she has hired a seam stress from one of the famous houses here to do six personal gowns for her. Accompanied by her daughter, Gail, one of two children by a previous marriage, Miss Horne is enjoying the historic sights of Paris. She expects to return to Paris and to Europe at least once every two years. Unless MGM production is de layed and Miss Horne finds other dates in Europe, the Haytons will start for America around Oct. 1. Mr. Hayton will have to go back then because he must return to the MGM studios where the gray ing-goateed conductor has three years run on his contract.
