S, Supreme Court since 1915 and \ Lh were still to come before that Court, affecting the funoamen.al citizenship rights of the Negro in america, a justifying the conten- Uon that 4 jurist who had expressed opposition to enforcement of the ifth Amendment, as had Judge John J. Larker in North Carolina, in 1920, mas manifestly unfit to sit,on the Supreme Court. The list of cases made public by the National Association for the Ad- yanccment of Colored People, is as foilows: . 1915 Grandfather Clause Case: (Guinn and Beale vs United States, ed U. S. 64%) mm which the Supreme Couit held void amendments to the Uslahoma Stave Constitution dis- aeanchiing the Negro. Myers va Anderson, 203 U. S. 368, sfiing in Maryland involved simt- Yer issues, 1917 Keaidential Segregation Case: In the to-called Louisville Segrega- tion Case (Buchanan vs Wariey, 245 U. S. 69) the Supreme Court held tnat municipal oruinances restricting exidential aieas on the basis of race color violaied and weie contrary to _ Wwe 1th Amendment. 1923 Due Process of Law: In Moore va Dempsey, 261 U.

C., (Corrigan vs Buckley, 271 U. S. 86) the Supreme Covrt held that it was without jurisdiction on yrocedural grounds, on the issue yiesented of the vahdity of private covenents entered into by owners of real estate not to sell cr lease to Ne- groes to occupy tucn restricted property, 1927 Texas White Primary Cage: In Nixon vs Herndon, 273 U. S. ths, the Supreme Court held that a state Jaw denyirg Negroes the right to yote in Democratic primaries violat- ed the 15th Amendment, Harmon vs Tyler, 273 U. S. 266, affirmed the decision in Buchanan v8 Warley summarized above. In making public this Jist, Walter White, Acting Secretary of the Na- tional Association for the Advances ment of Colored People said; “Cases involving residential segre- gation by covenant, the franchise of Negroes in the South, and other vital phases of the Negro’s basic citizenship rights, may be expected to come before the United States Su- preme Court in the next few years. “To pince upoa the tribunal 4 man who, hke Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina, {a frankly anti-Conl stitution, in that he publicly advocat~ ed non-enforcement of its Amenr- rents, is, to use plain worts, to stack the cards against democracy and against a tenth of the population of this country. “The fasue is 0 plain that no de- Sense of Judge Parker has even been attempted. Instead, we have the crude attempt by the Administration and by the powers that be, to pro- cure from attorneys’ statements en- dorsing this jurist who, everyone knows, is nowhere near the top of the legal profession in this country. The confirmation of Judge Parker would be the gravest shock to the cause of the Negro since the Civil War, and insofar, it would be a seri. ous menace to the American form of government, We believe an aroused ‘American public opinion wil} repel “this barefaced attempt by the Hoover Administration to jam through this indefensible nomination.” BETTER FARMING WASHINGTON, May 2, 1930—A marked trend towards diversification 4. sue p Mae OF avegro farmers Is ree corded in the recently published ree port sutmitted by Dr. C.

THE CHURCH. | (The Cleveland Red Triangle) By Daniel A. Polilg I Ought to belong tothe Church because I ought to be Letter than Iam. Henry Ward Beecher once sald, “The Church is not a gal- lery for the exhibition of emi- nent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.” I Ought to belong ta the Church because of what I can give to it and do through it as well as be- cause of what I may get out of it. The Church is not dormi- tory for sleepers, it is an instl- tution of workers; not a rest camp, it is a front line trench. I Ought to belong to the Church . beeause every man ought to pay his debts and do his share to- ward discharging the obligations of society, The Church has not only been the bearer of good news of persona} salvation; it has been and it is the supreme uphfiting and conserving agen- cy without which, “Civilization would lapse into barbarism and press its way to perdition.” I Ought to belong to the Church because of memories; memories of things I can never forget; memories of faces that will nev~ er fade; memories of vows that are the glory of youth. 1 Ought to belong to the Church because of hope, hope that hves when promises are dead; hope that "paves the way of progress, hope that visions peace and s0- cial justice; hope for time and hope for eternity—the great hope that casts its anchor be- hind Jesus Christ. I Ought to belong to the Church ‘because of the strong men in it who need reinforcing; the weak men in it who need encouraging; the rascals who need rebuking. If I say that I am not good enough, my humility recom- mends ‘me. If I sit in the seat of the scornful my inactivity condemns me, I ought to beling to the Church, but not until I am ready to join a going concern; not until I am willing to become an active part- ner with Jesus Christ, very age has beaten a path to the door of the Church.” —Chpped by “Flutch” JHE 20TH CENTURY CLUB —_—— The members of the culb held their meeting at the home of Mrs. Costa Roper, 1114 Cleveland, and spent a yery pleasant afternoon; two new members were enrolled; a wonderful Juncheon was served, Al] the mem- bers met a smile, The weather was rainy, Next meeting with Mra.

This is His last journey to the beloved city. He took the twelve disciples aside from the traveling pilgrims to make known unto them what was before them. As they journeyed, he went ahead of the disciples. The courage thus shown by the Lord amazed the disciples who were following in fear (Mark 10:32). 2. The betrayal and death foretold (vv. 18, 19). He went forward, fully conscious of the awful tragedy of the cross. He for the third time since the transfiguration tells the disciples of His approaching sufferings and death. But they are so filled with their ambitious schemes that they do not understand Him. The treachery of Judas, the fierce persecutions by the chief priests and scribes, the unjust judgment, the delivery to Pontius Pilate, the mockery, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the cross, the hanging between two malefactors, the nails, the spear—all were spread before His mind like a picture! Though He knew all this, He pressed on, not of necessity, but deliberately. The joyous outlook upon the victory which would be accomplished by the shedding of His blood led Him forward. He went courageously, for He knew the time had come for the accomplishment of His Father's will. 3. The resurrection foretold (v. 19). Truly, this would have been a dark picture hard the resurrection not been made known. The resurrection life beyond is always seen as the issue of the cross. The blessedness of the life beyond this "vale of tears" should induce us to press on. Christ is the grand example. (Iheb. 12:2). 11. The Ambitious Request of James and John (vv. 20:23). 1. The request (vv. 20,21). This request was made by their mother. The request was for a place of prominence in the kingdom. It is not wrong for mothers to be ambitious for their boys, but they should know that life's pinnacles are exceedingly dangerous. It is desirable that parents should get places for their children near to Jesus, but the vain ambition of the world should not occupy their minds. 2. Jesus' answer (vv. 22, 23). He spoke directly to the men, not to their mother, declaring that they knew not what they were asking. He showed them that the way to this position of glory was through suffering. The cup which they were to drink was of great agony. The way to the places of glory in the kingdom of Christ is by the path of lowly and self-forgetting service. III. How to Be Truly Exalted (vv.24-25). 1. The angry disciples (v.24). When the ten heard of the request of James and John, they were filled with indignation against them. Their displeasure did not arise from the fact that they were free from the same selfish spirit, but that these two had thrust themselves to the front. 2. Greatness among the heathen (v.25). The rule of the world has always been by the strong hand. The standards have not been moral excellence, but worth, station, and power. 3. Greatness among Christ's disciples (vv.25, 27). The standard here is in sharp contrast. The way to the place of prominence in Christ's kingdom is the way of self-abasement. To give is greater than to receive. To be serving some one is much better than to be served. There will be degrees of rank in Christ's kingdom, but this rank will be character, not position, or authority. The spirit of Christ substitutes "the greatness of love for the love of greatness." 4. Christ is the supreme example of greatness (v.28). All who will be great should study and imitate Christ. Let them forget self and serve others, even to the giving of their lives. Courage. Unspotted Life Then said Mr. Holy-man, there are two things that they have need to possess who go on pilgrimage: courage and an unspotted life. If they have not courage, they can never hold on their way; and if their lives be loose, they will make the very name of a pilgrim stink—John Bunyan. Bolag Satisfied To be satisfied with what you have, but never with what you are, means growth and joy.-Young People. B. Y. P. U. LESSON SUNDAY MAY 4, 1930 Subject: "Some Voices of Divine Comfort" T. Test Leo A. All Comfort.—Text Isa. 412-11. To be able to see the beautiful and inspire its development are indicative of great character. There are human voices that are heralds of Divine comfort. Just to hear them allays pain. Often such voices mean more to the restoration of health than the treatment of the most skilled physician. When a soul is filled with Divine love its voice becomes the instrument of Divine comfort. Love is the soul of comfort. Its very presence is Paradise. In the text the church had sinned, it had been punished for its wrongs, it had repented, was forgiven and becomes the recipient of Divine comfort. "He will not always chide, neither will He keep His anger forever." The Prophets had a message of comfort to declare and they declared it. Human life and human joys are meeting but the Divine comfort abides because the Comforter has come. He speaks pardon and freedom from punishment to the believer. God has, for the saved, made the rough way smooth, the valleys full, and the mountains level. He has fed the hungry, healed the lame and gently led the wandering back to the fold. THOUGHTS God keeps a light in the firmaments; though often intercepted, it is there. Only Christ can give comfort to death. The voice that gives comfort is the voice we delight to hear. Some come to bring sorrow but Christ came to bring joy. Sunday morning worship at 11 o'clock was well attended. Devotion by Deacon Curry. We heard a very impressive sermon on "What Manner of Child is This-" Mark 16:6. At 3 o'clock, we heard the Annual Easter Program which the church seemed to be of the most impressive nature. Easter was never approached more splendidly than this year, with flowers and the spirit of Christianity was manifested among civilized people. Our Pastor made the Easter Address, which brought us back to the thought of Easter. Opening exercises were led in music and selections appropriate for the occasion; papers were written to help in bringing out the origin of Easter. There were several visitors present. The talk by Rev. Wilson of Wellington was brief and inspiring, and was much appreciated. At 8 o'clock, devotion by Deacon Curry; large attendance, many visitors in the evening worship. Out of town visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Gray, Miss Robertson, Miss Green, all of Wichita; Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Rev. Wilson and Miss Mary Teal, all of Wellington. Mrs. Cunningham, Mrs. Rowena Buford, Mrs. Liyzie Horton, attended a funeral in Enid, Saturday; also did Mrs. Golar Ward. Mr. and Mrs. Letch Gallinger had as dinner guests Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Gray, Miss Robertson, and Miss Green of Wichita; Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Rev. Wilson, Miss Teal of Wellington. The Wichita colored boys came down and played a game of ball with the Caldwell whites, and took back the banner with a score 21 to 11... Sunday morning service 11 o'clock. April 27, Deacon Curry led devotion The nature of the sermon was very strong, inspiring and nplifting, and was well attended. At 3 o'clock, Sunday School was in session; Supt and teachers present. The school had the strong support of the pastor, many fundamental points were brought out. Evening service opened at 8 o'clock Deacon curry in charge of devotion. The pastor preached from "Follow Jesus;" which was very impressive. Next Sunday, we will hear the selected topic, "What Lack Ye Yet?" found in Matt, 19:20. We are expecting to hear Rev. Razor, pastor of the Baptist Church, white. Mr. Joe Guy was called to Kingfisher, Okla., because of sudden illness and death of his sister, Mrs. Cornwell. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hamlet are enjoying a new Majestic Radio. Mrs. Bessie Stallinger, Mrs. Rowena Bufford, Mr. Ed Curry, Preston Stallinger, Jr.; Mr. J. H.
