EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE
HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN
THAT BUILT IT,
Except the Lord build the house, they
labor in vain that build it: Except
the Lord keep the city, the
Waterman waketh but in
vain.
1t is vain for you to rise up early, to
to sit up late, to cat the bread of
ESORROly",


There are days of unrest, of dissatis-
faction, scarcity of jobs and scarcity
of funds. 1t appears as if our country
has gone wild over building house,
that the Lord has nothing to do with
its building.
1t is predicted that if the 18th Amend
ment is repealed, more than two humid
red and fifty million dollars $780,
100000 will come to the United States,
as a revenue from spirits, in other
words liquor.
May we ask all governmental au-
thorities, all city authorities, in fact
everybody who advocates the repeal
of the 18th Amendment, if they really
believe that Jesus Christ would advo-
cate the revamping of government;
the bringing back Of prosperity through
the liquor traffic. Except the Lord
build the house, they labor in vain that
build it: except the Lord keep the city,
the Waterman waketh but in vain. 1t
is vain for you to rise up early, to sit
up late, to eat the bread of sorrows:
Tor SO he giveth his beloved sleep"
The president of the United Safes
together with Congress to my mind,
are throwing up smoked screen to
the people of the government. 1t is
either a sales tax advocated by the
government, or a revenue from liquor
by the government. Isn't it common
sense to believe that with millions of
people out of jobs and not able to
pay a sales tax, that they are going
to advocate revenue from the sale of
liquor in order to save their own hide?
And yet, in the final analysis, it is
worse than a sales tax. wonder some
times if our governmental authorities
are not practically in the same shape
bad an opportunity hut he lost it.
think that our government has an OPP
portunity, but l sincerely believe that
it will lose it through the liquor ira
ffic. Prosperity comes to no individual
no family or nation through wrong
doing. Let us fret not ourselves because
Of evil doors who seem to prosper in
their own way, for they will soon he
cut off and withered as grass.
The government of the United States
to my mind, stands now at the most
critical point in the history of our coun
try. Except the Lord build house,
they labor in vain that build it, ex-
cept the Lord keep the city the watch
man waketh but in vain" believe that
ninety five per cent of the men who
head pis-c ons in our country, are
afraid to speak their conviction of
right They rather fall in the line Ct
least resistance. Mr.. Roosevelt is the
leader of this country. He has
big chance and big opportunity
to build a house; lay foundation
but it appears to me that the Lord
has been excused and the devil with
all OF his agencis has come forth.

RECEIVED LETTER

A few days ago the editor received
a letter from the National Conference
Q. jews and Christians for Justice, Am
ity and Understanding between Pro-
testants, Catholics and Jews. The letter
was from 289--4th Avenue, New York
City. 1t had as co-chairmen-Honor-
able Newton D. Baker, Prof Carlton
j. H. Hayes, Mr.. Rodger W. Straus and
others. This letter was protest a.
galnst the treatment of Jews in Ger
many with the signatures of such men
as Drs S. Parkes Cadman, Harry EN-
erson Fosdick, Mordecai JOHNSON,
Russell Bowie, Ray Freeman Jenny,
Ralph w. Sockman and others The
editor was asked to sign this protest
along with these signatures. We read
i did so however, we called the
chairmens attention to the fact that
We nope movement will be started in
this country protesting the treatment
OF the black race. Not by Hitler, but
by the American white man..
Not all Of the white people will join
ir. this mal-treatment Of the Negro,
for there are some good white people
who are trying to help us, but we need
a movement on behalf Of the Negro
such as has been waged on behalf of
the Jews of Germany.
Let Meridian take a retrospective
view of the school situation in Meridian
in general, and we must confess to the
fact that it is deplorable for town
of this size with more than 10000 Negro
inhabitants, together with Negroes who
are large tax payers.

should be permitted to be members O
