B. Winston) The text relates the story where the Master {s pouring forth praise upon childhood, But there is more than praise in tho words. There is rebuhe for the unchildlhikeness, These words have a sharp edge of warning, “except ye be converted and beccme hke little children, ye cannot enter into tte Kingdom of Heaven.” + The thing that gives the warning and a'most startling significance is the character of persons ti whom tlie words were addrested, They were not addressed to the heathan popu- lace, They were not addressed to thecharacter ofpersons to whom the Pharisees, They were rot especially addressed to the sinful people, They were spoken by Christ to His own discloles, Thoce who had left all and followed Him. Now, at the very close of His earthly ministry when the shadow of Calvary was looming uv in His path, We finds His discl- ples disputing as to which of them shall be the greatest in the Kingdom SAVED FROM DEATH PENALTY NEW YORK, Nov. $—Ate Wash ington, colored father who was ren tenced to death becauce he defend ed his daughters from advances o! a white man, shooting the man a! he advanced on the Washinztoy home, has kad his death sentence commuted to tife imprisonment by the Florida Board of Pardons. This information {s contained in a report to the N. A. A.C, P, from S, Decatur McGill, attorney, who defended the aged colored man. Writing to the N. A. A.C. P., Mr, McGill says: | “The action of the Board in com- muting thia sentence puts an end to my efforts tosavethe life of Wash- ington: Perhaps you have observed in the press the interest the public generally, in this section, has taken In the questions presented In thi case. The white dailies here, with- out exception, refer to thia case against Washington as the most fa- mous as well as the most difficult criminal case ever presented before the courts of this state for consid- eration. eI am taking this method to thank you and the National Associ. ation for your interest in this matter for without your assistance, it !< doubtful that this crse could have reached the United States Supreme Court. The last letter 1 received from the late Mr, Marshall was to the effect that all we could hope for would be to save the life of our client. That fs all I have ever con- tended for, but the State flatly re- fused any plea from our client, ard insisted upon executing him. The State hes failed.” And this is the good of organization of Heaven. The Master was grieve to His heart to know that tho. whom He iad chosen to cairy on the great work, were not prepared for the task. In order to teach then " ue Iesson that they most needed He takes a hittle child and seis in tn *nidst of them and tells them tha unless they get rid of their strife and self, seeking their personal am- bition and become ss humble, and its unassuming and as free from self consciousness as that little child, they cannot even cross the thresh- eld of the Kingdom of Heaven, This text has its application in every field of human endeavor, In every field in which the spirit seeks cxpression, the same demand {s made the same conditions must be met. ‘The true scientist must be a con- verted man. Ie must be converted from self-secking, fro m_ personal ambition, from pride of opinlon. Like a hittle child he must sit at Na- tures’s feet and receive her instruc- tion. The child-like spirit has been characteristic of every true sclen- tist. They have cared very little for public recognition, but cared for + v- erything that the truth of Skience shall be ascertained and made known, “When thou art converted strength- en thy brethren." Think of the mental strength that has come to multitudes o f earncet seekers. Think of the happiness and comfort that our civilization Ia enjoying from the effort and sacrifice of scientists who have been converted, who cared not for personal esteem and renown but everything that the truth should e known, In closing, may I repeat, that In every field in which the spirit seeks | expression, self must be shifted from | the center of the circumference of our consciousness, In the field of religion there must Le a revlution| ary spiritual experience, This ex- perience may come thrue storm and | perience may come thru the moro, normal experience, the more gradus nl awakening to the full conscious- ness of man’s nved of God, The type ! of experience matters httle, The’ thing that mattera {s that in some rath or other, we shall find this ex. perience that shall qualify us in rendering our beat service, —JOUN L, COLEMAN, | Pastor, St. Paul Presbyterian Ch., 25th & Paris Ave. Indianapolis, DENIED NEW TRIAL -GOES TO PRISON (SFCOND EROS MURDER) NEW YORK, Nov. 8—The second white ran, af two who murdered colored women In Eros, Louisiana, has now had to accept his conviction urd go to prison. according to a ro Port received by the National Asso- elation for the Advancement of Col+ ored People.

Because it has been my observation as a person having lived alwaya in seml-southern states, that loudest Professors of Christianity are gen- erally the most intolerant of the Negro. I know very httle about the larger phases of this movement. I only know what cast iron prejudice exists within the hearts of thousands of excellent people and with what injustice and penuriousness many otherwise good white women treat their Negro servants. Any men who believe that the Civil War really made the black man free and equal citizen, had better do « little Investigating for himself. Te will then realize that our proud boasts of a true democracy and of a civilized Christianity are most hol- low shams. One of the most horrible of all in- Justices worked upon the Negro in the average Western and Soutrern city is in the manner in which preyed upon in the name of the law. Justices of Peace, many of whom get a part of their living by court costs, can fleece him coming and going, Unless he has some white person to help him in any legal dilemma, he gets very little justice. Noting the recent death in Boston, of Mr, Moorfield Storey, famous lawyer, the Association recalls that Mr. Storey’s victorius defense of six Arkansas colored farmers before the United States Supreme Court not only freed the men from death sen~ tences, but established the principle that a trial conducted in an atmos- phere of mob violence is not due process of law. If this principle was always fol- jowed in American courts, many cases of gross injustice would be avoided, but it is to be feared such s not the the case There have been some celebrated trials In recent years in which the atmosphere of mob yilence was apparent, For exam- ote, there was some of it around the famous Sacco-Vanzetti case and it was not lacking in the trial of Thamas J, Mooney and Warren K, Billir gs. Many cases Involving Negroes harged with grave offenses wre ried In the South In an atmosphere f meb violence, that virtually as- ures conviction, though the accused nay be as innocent as a new-born abe, Trials surrounded by this tmosphere are not trials by due rocess. of law; they are in fact yncting by due process of law, “day, Ths men went on a hunting trip and had great success.

God Is No Respecter of Person(s) (Arts 10:34) The approach to the heart of this lesson is through the Golden Text. Paul declared on Stars will "God hath made of one blood all the nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth" (Acts 17:26) II. Examples of Racial Harmony. I. Huth, the Monothest (Huth 1:18). In the days of the Judges, because of famine in Judah, Wilhelodech and his family went to Moab to find subsistence. While there she was some married Monbittish woman. Not long after this, the father and the sons died, leaving three desolate widows, learning that the famine was over. Known decided to return, Ruth insisted upon going with her and her determination was expressed in such wonderful words that they have become classic (Ruth 1:10, 17). She renounced her country and people in order to be identified with the people of the living God. In this we have an example of two very dissimilar people united as one. 2. The woman of Samaria (John 4:5,10). This woman was not only of a desplied people, but of a disreputable character. But when the light of God entered her soul she became a witness to her people of Christ and the leader of a movement which prepared the way for the revival at the hands of Philip a few years later. That which removed the barrier from between the Jews and Samaritans was the personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. 3. Cornellus, the Roman soldier (Acta 10.29.15, 30.35). The Jews hated the Romans because they were under bondage to them Peter, the head of the apostolic group, was a Jew of strong prejudice. The time had now come for the removal of the wall of partition between the Jews and the Gentiles. To do this God chose a high-grade and influential Gentile to make the transition Cornelius was a devout man, though not saved. In removing this wall, two visions were given: (1) To Corneius (Acts 10.31) While engaged in prayer, an angel from God announced to him that his prayers and alms had come before God as a memorial, and instructed him to send to Joppa for Peter, who would tell him what to do. (2) To Peter (Acts 10:2916) in his vision Peter saw a certain vessel containing clean and undead animals, let down from heaven and heard the command, "Rise, Peter kill and eat." Against Peter's protest God said "What God hath cleansed, call them not common." This vessel let down from heaven and taken back again illudated that both laws and Gospels were accepted on high. The spirit of God hade letters to go with the messengers of Cornelius upon arrival. Peter explained to Corinthians how God had removed his Jewish prejudice and then being assured that they were ready to hear the message from God he preached to Jesus to them in his sermon to Cornelius, he got forth: a. The birth of salvation - the death of Christ. c. The method of appropriation of this salvation—faith in Christ. In endorsement of this message by Peter, the Holy Spirit was poured out and as the gospel was teaching beyond the Jews, there was a new Pentecost. 111 All One in Christ Jesus (1011, 3,24, 50) In Christ all class and most distinctions are lost. But the who would hasten the period of real good will bestrify themselves to the task of preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ—the only means of making the various branches of the race Those Who Are Gone Those who are gone, you have, Those who departed loving you, love you will; and you love them at wings. . . . They are only gone into the next room; and you will presently get up and follow them—Thackeray. According as Thy Faith Art thou a beggar at thou's door? Be sure thou gettest a great bowl, for as thy bowl is, so shall be thy mess. According as thy faith saith Lie, be it unto you.—John Langan. B. Y. P. U, LESSON BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 613 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, NOVEMBER, 17, 1929 Subject:—What Should Young Men and Young Women Expect of Each Other? H. Peter 1:2-11. Young men and women should expect of each other only those graces which are to be found in the pea- ality of each sex when normal. Courtesy, honor and respect should reasonably be expected. However, it should be borne in mind that consideration will come back to us in response to the consider- ation we send out to others. Each young person should bear in mind that he is a part of the group and in that he is a part of the group and in a sense occupies a place peculiar to his sex. The Young man should, first of all, feel that he is to honor, respect and protect the fairer sex. Nothing to him should be more unmanly than to sustain that attitude toward women which would tend to rob either of the highest and the best. The young women, on the other hand should be worthy of the purest ethical consideration. She should challenge the best in thought and act in the manhood of the race. Do nothing of which you would be ashame, if those you respect most, should appear. A flirt is society's greatest false; it solicits the best and offers nothing in return. When you expect an insult you will likely create, an atmosphere for it. Conversation is a revelation of character.
