movies radically affect the atti-

in the technique Of crime and Sc
duction and are employed as aph-

H. B. A. DRIVE A SUCCESS

The Drive that was launched a few
weeks ago for the purpose of adding
new members to this Association was a
great success. We had several lod es
to add from one to twenty-one new
members to their lodges and paid for
the most of them in the June Board.
/ want each lodge to start to day and
see to it that you make gain in your
report ty the September Boards. May
I depend upon you? If l can, give me
your hand l want you presidents to
remember that this is our Association,
and unless each of us do our part, it
will not be what we would like for it
to be.
In checking over the several reports
and seeing the splendid gain that sew
eraI of the local lodges had made
we see that it has been great asset to
this Association and therefore, we are
continuing this Drive.

II. b. A. DRIVE CONTINUES UNTIL
AUGUST 18TH

The H. B. A. Drive that ended on
May LIST is now being launched again,
or continued until Aug. 18th. I am
giving each local lodge this special
privilege until August 18th. You may
receive the application in the lodge
and if said applicant is accepted by the
lodge it may be sent Immediately to
the office without layinJ on file for
for thirty (30) days The office will
hold said application in the office the
required time, or at least until the
names have been published through
the Weekly Echo, and the Office feels
that said application is a good risk for
this Association.
l know that each of you want us to
pay more in the September Boards
than We did in the last two Boards and
we want to do so. If each local lodge
will give us at last two or three young
and healthy new members, you will
be surprised to see how much more we
can pay to the beneficiaries in the
September Boards, The amount paid
out depends directly upon the amount
that is taken in from the local lodges.
Now, if you want to receive more
money send up more from your local
lodges. If you don't want to receive
much then don't send up much to the
general Board meetings.
JOINING FEE

and send 25c to the office for policy.

lodges that bring in the largest num-
Der of paid up new members in the

ished characters with us yesterday in
the persons of DR.. Booth, DR.. j. S.

and Undertaken D. T Webster. Each
undertaken spoke of Cooperation
Brother Webster presented our church
with an electric fan, as token Of ap-
probation for support given him for
funeral services and Burial Association.
He seems to prize Cooperation" highly.

NOTES ON THE TEXT

Verse l. When the Sabbath was past,
the Jewish day ended at sunset Bought
sweet spices, that they might come and
anoint Him. The women probably
bought the spices after sunset on the
Sabbath which would be by their
reckoning, the first day of the week.
The spices were used to "anoint" the
bodies of the dead kind of embalrn-
ing process.
Verse 2. Very early at the rising OF
the sun. They probably left home very
early and reached the tomb about sun
rise.
Verse 3. Who shall roll us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?
The tomb was hewn out Of the side o.
the solid rock; to close it, a heavy
stone, cut to fit was rolled into place.
Verse 4. The power of the resurrection
rolls away stones The powder OF
the resurrection did for them that
which they could not do for themselves.
Verse ). The young man clothed in
white" told them to find the disciples
and he gave the woman message
for them.
Verse 6. Be not affrighted; He is risen
He is not here, said the angel to the
amazed and trembling women.
Verse T. Go your way tell His dis
ciples and Peter that He goeth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye see
Him, as He said unto you.
Verse 8. The women went to the tomb
in sorrow, they went away with a com
mission and a message.
Verse 8. Now when Jesus was risen
early the first day of the week. He
appeared first to May Magdalene out
of whom He had cast seven devils.
Jesus had come into the life of this
Mary when the ruler of all the evil
forces was vexing her and then He had
gone out of her life.
Verses 10-11. And that message, de-
livered TO the disciples changed a be-
wildered and desparin- group Of men
into the most courageous and
militant and joyous propagators Of
the world has ever seen.
These men, whom had thought that all
was lost and who had turned sadly
back to their old tasks now went every
where with their glorious gospel; and
in time, they were able to turn the
world upside down.
They would not have done it if
there had been no resurrection.

NEGRO DEFENSE IN SCOTTSBORO
 MUST HASTEN
Lawyers for Six Youths on Trial for Life Must Prove Charges About Jury System

Decatur, Ala, March 31-(UP)- Limitation was expected to-day on the time to be allowed the defense in the Scottsboro case to adduce evidence on it's charge that negroes are barred from Alabama jury rolls in violation of the constitu- tion.
 Four court days already have been devoted to various phases of the defense move to force an ad- mission by the prosecution that negroes are barred. The court pverruled a motion to quash the indictments against nine negro youths charged with assaulting two white girls on freight train, and also overruled motion to dis charge the all-white venire sum- moned to provide jury for the trial of Haywood Patterson, first of the negroes selected to go on trial. Now Samuel Leibowitz, of the International Labor Defense, is seeking again to establish that the venire is illegal, and threat ems to call as witnesses every per- son on the jury roll-which num- bers altogether about 2,000--who is not conceded by the stateor the jury commission to be white.
 This move, apparently designed more as a groundwork for a later appeal to the United States su- preme court than as an effort to get a new venire, would take a week or more, and the court is expected before adjournment to- night to stop tn proceedings and order selection of jury started.
