Although Memorial Church goers differ on the Church's purpose and on Gomes's role in relation to that purpose, there seems to be general approval of his sermons and direction of worship. "He's a very good preacher," Stone said, "He's broad enough in theology to attract people without being wishy-washy...

...time to recognize this swelling chorus as the refrain of a fat and experience racket. When a group in any society makes coercive claims to subsidy upon others, it implicitly assumes an entitlement to the lives and property of other individuals. The claim does not differ in essence from the one slave-holders imposed on slaves in the Old South: the group demands that others live for its sake. Profession of special worth does not justify coercive intervention on behalf of any interest group, no matter how skillfully the group may portray its aims as in the "common interest...

A measure that would amend the constitution to legalize gambling is now before the New York legislature. Poor blacks tend to be against such a change because they distrust government, and they figure that the proceeds from gambling would be taken away from the black numbers runners and other local operatives. In addition, numbers men now extend credit to their customers, but legal betting parlors demand cash...

...skin color," Monro says. "Relating somehow to the sound black college offers one orderly, rational way to begin to tear down the barriers we have built around ourselves." Without Miles College and its educational and organizational objectives, the future of Birmingham's black community probably would differ little from its past. Monro and other educators believe that unless colleges like Miles have a future, respect for the black community will continue to be defined in terms of boycotts and demonstrations, rather than individual leaders and institutions...
