Title: Christmas service in new Mississippi church.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31974 CHRISTMAS SERVICE IN NEW MISSISSIPPI CHURCH RIPLEY, Miss. -- A group of northern college students, calling themselves “Carpenters for Christmas,” paused with members of the congregation of the Negro Antioch Baptist church near Ripley, Miss., for Christmas services. The church, burned to the ground Oct. 30 after a civil rights rally was held there, was reconstructed during the holiday weeks by the volunteer student group. The paster of the congregation, the Rev. John R. McDonald, preaches the Christmas sermon to the church members and students, who later put the roof on the new structure and rushed to complete the interior before returning to their campuses. Most of the volunteer carpenters were from Oberlin (Ohio) College. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-12E-64-NBM)

Title: Clergymen support Mississippi rights effort.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-31682 CLERGYMEN SUPPORT MISSISSIPPI RIGHTS EFFORT McCOMB, Miss. -- Five Protestant Episcopal clergymen -- part of an interdenominational group of 20 ministers who spent a week working with civil rights volunteers in Mississippi -- stand in front of the bomb-blasted Society Hill Baptist church at McComb. Sixteen structures used by civil rights workers were bombed in the McComb area from June 21 to the end of September, four of them churches which were totally destroyed. The National Council of Churches race commission planned to send groups of clergymen to Mississippi to assist rights workers through the fall and winter. Shown here (left to right) are the Rev. Bruce Young of Attleboro, Mass.; the Rev. Thomas D. Allen and the Rev. Quinlan Gordon of Washington, D.C.; the Rev. Malcolm Boyd of Detroit, Mich., and the Rev. Earl A. Neil of Chicago. During their stay in McComb, Mr. Allen, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Boyd and Mr. Neil attempted to visit 24 Negroes who had been arrested for “criminal syndicalism,” a Mississippi law which forbids virtually any activity which promotes social or political change. In spite of repeated requests to county officials, they were denied permission to see the prisoners. “We had a feeling that we were completely outside the United States and were being treated as enemy aliens,” Mr. Boyd said.
