May 17 (PNS)—Although, organized labor's general policy is to stress the need of solidarity regardless of race or color, or sex, southern white labor is toa large extent advocating sepa- rate unions for white and Negro workers. In this the racial tradi- tions of the South are being follow: ed, A large number of Negro work- ers also favor separate unions for themselves, more on account of un- satisfactory experiences with organ- ived wh te labor than from deliber- ate choice. White Labor leaders give varying reasons for their preference fo? sep- arate Negro unions, One very as- tute labor “leader” perhaps more clever than others, says the Negro needs the experience in leadership, and direction which separate unions @fer him this splendid onvortunity which he could not possibly get if the Negroes and whites belonged to the same union. Some other leaders claim that the races can get along better if both have separate unfons. Mixed locals are formed however, with little effort it is said, whenever local conditions dictate such necessi- sity, However. white labor “leaders” av* very cautious in their dealings with Negro labor, lest they be ac- cured of promoting “social equality” between races, , played the V.

H FITZWA] MIT [of] Deam Mounty Bible Institute of Chicago [T. 1928] Wester] Newpaper [num] Lesson for May 20 JESUS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—Mark 12 13-44 GOLDEN TEXT—He taught them as one having authority. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Answers Some Hard Questions. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Teaches Great Puties INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Jesus Answers His Critics. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Love, the Law of the Kingdom I. The Parable of the Husbandman (iv. 1-12). Having put the scribes, chief priests and elders to confusion by a silly counter question when they demanded to know His authority, Jesus by means of a story lays before them His claim of divine authority, and charges them with betrayal of trust and with plotting to murder the very Son of God His teaching cut them to the quick, and they sought to lay hands upon Him, but desisted for fear of the people. 1. The vineyard (v. 1), represented Israel (See Pa. 80 and Isa. 5). 2. The husbandmen (v. 1) represented the rulers who were charged with responsibility for the spiritual interests of the people. 3. Messengers (vv. 2-5) represented the prophets whom God sent to Israel, even including John the Baptist. 4. The Son (vv. 6-8) represented Jesus Himself. 5. The Judgment of the Lord of the vineyard (v. 9). This represented the time when the Jews shall be brought to account for their treatment of the servants of God and of Jesus Himself. 6. The Tribute Money (vv. 11-17). They already would have gloriously taken him by violence and killed him, but they feared the people. In order to destroy Him they seek to discredit him among the people (v. 13). 1. Their question (v. 14). "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" The Pharisees contended that since God was the real King of Israel, it was not obligatory, yet, it was even sinful to give tribute (tuxes) to a heathen king. The Herodians were supporters of Herod; with flattery on their lips, they put this subtle question. For him to answer "Yes" would have discredited Him with the people, and to have said "No" would have made Him liable to arrest as an enemy of the government. 2. Jesus reply (vv. 15-17). He asks that a coin be brought and inquires whose image and superscription it bears, declaring that those who accept the coin of Caesar should pay taxes to Caesar. In this reply the Lord escapes their trap and enunciates a principle which applies to all time and conditions as to the Christian's responsibility to civil government. III. The Resurrection of the Dead (v. 1827). The Pharisees and Herodians being silenced, the Sadducees came with a question which involved not only immortality but the resurrection of the body. They denied the reality of the resurrection, and believed not in angel nor spirit (Acts 23:8). 1. The case proposed (vv. 14:21). The law of Moses made it not only legal but morally binding in the case of a man dying without children for his brother to take his wife (Deut. 22:5). They propose the case of a woman married successively to seven brothers. They ask whose wife she will be in the resurrection. 2. Jesus' reply (vv. 24:26). By a quotation from the Mosaic law (Ex. 3:6) He proves the resurrection of the dead, and their continued existence after death as glorified beings. He shows that marriage is for this present life. He points out that their great error was due to two things. (1) Ignorance of the Scriptures (v. 24). In the very Scriptures which they professed to believe was positive proof of the recurrection (Ex. 3:6). (2) Ignorance of the power of God (v. 24). God is able to provide a life where there is no death, no births or marriages. IV. The Great Commandment of the Law (vv. 28-34). Christ's answer shows marvelous insight. He sums up man's whole duty in one word—love. The first and great commandment is supreme and undivided love of God. The second is like unto it in that love is its center, but love for our neighbor in the measure that we love ourselves. Having put His questioners to silence, Jesus now puts to them a question which involves the central doctrine of the Christian faith—the person of Christ (vv. 35-40). Is He human or divine, or both? Some Good Advice There is nothing more that I can say. Christ is before you to take freely; accept Illim; trust Illim; believe what He says; assume that you are Illis and behave as if you were.—Alexander Whyte. Without Love Without first love we may retail ceaseless activity, immaculate purity, severest orthodoxy, but there will be no light shining in a dark place.—G. Campbell Morgan.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927 TO THE CHURCH AND PASTOR: My Dear Co-laborers: gree tee ge At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention nayped the more modern piss for carrying for- ward our Missionary and Education- al work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annual- ly. The plan adopted at the Conven- tion waa that $6,700.00 be apportion- ed sisecy to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con- ventions of the State and District Associations and Auxiliaries, The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the monthly or quarterly plan refers: able because the State obligations are due monthly, For instance, if 25 churches give $5.00 each monthly, it m: $125.00, and 25 churches giye $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $2.00 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $35000 to meet her regular monthly obligations and money to apply on Nationa] Conven« tion requirements. ‘Will you Brother Pastor and Of- ficers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, pleare read this letter to the Church and 1 ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-luke plan for our Con- vention, This plan was presented to the Ministevs at theslast Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church {s in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request, We pray it will ke the monthly regular plan. Please send something, be- ginning this month, Please pray fo: our work as the Missionary Pastors must carry on and the educational work must not Le neglected. We are the Lord’s and the work is His command, He will make pos- sible if we only trust him.

But our job doesn't end there There are hundreds of electric switches that must open or close automatically, and their operations must occur only at the exact right instant Most delicate instruments control these operations, and they are kept more reliable and infallible even than the human mind Human life and thousands of dollars worth of machinery depend upon these sensitive mechanisms doing just the right thing at the right time All of this sounds highly technical, and is. But we are just trying to give you an idea of some of the highly technical things necessary for your electric light and power company to remain forever "At Your Service" port of the power department which of testing, adjusting and calibrating controlling energy carried over trans- delivered to your homes and factories Electric Company Service" .
