The Honorable Frank d. Fitz-
gerald, Michigan's Secretary Of
State, has sent me the carbon
copies of two letters, both exceed
ingly h ort but containing
thoughts that are powerful in
their possibilities.
One letter is from Michigan's
Parole Commissioner w. Alfred
Debo, to the secretary of state,
reading:
"""""Dear Mr.. Fitzgerald:
Upon receipt of your letter
l have gone over the file of Cliff
ford Mitchell and have listed him
for a hearing on my next visit TO
Jackson Prison. ''"""
To which the secretary Of state
wrote the Parole Commissioners
thanking him as follows:
"'"''My dear Commissioner:
wish to express my sincere
appreciation Of your prompt aAl
courteous treatment Of my recon-
mendation in the above case. |
trust your investigation as it goes
along will merit your favorable
consideration. ++'+"

Of the 65 chapters of Delta Sig
ma Theta sorority 10 set a high
goal for service and not to allow
pernicious jealousies within to
mar the work of the organization;
to have a platform Of broad scope
and be a necessity.
Her remarks ended with the
following lines:
IL would be true, for there are
those who trust me;
| would be pure, for there are
those who care

much TO suffer;
| would be brave. for there is
much to dare"
After the program, the Deltas

beautifully arranged, the sorori-

MOTHER
By, Los,ie Harri.

By Harris
Give me n word 81 true. divine,
Which appeals to your heart Mother to mine,
A word as sweet, consoling tender,
That forget but all remember.
Cheerful at morn, at noon at night,
She never tires of your being in sight;
One more chance? I'll give you another,
But there's not word that's equal to Mother.
It's Mother who washes old soiled clothes
And patches them when they're full Of holes,
Oftimes in the Silly night
Close by the hearth to see by freight.
After she's finished, on her knees by her bed,
She asks her God with a low-bowed head,
To eer be guide to her lite brood,
AS they grow into man and womanhood
Each morn Mother says its time to RISE
Though she needs sleep, is seen by her eyes;
But all through the day, she's the same kind Mother
cherish her always and have other.

Virginia" said Mr.. DePriest, "can
rise on this floor and say that any
Negro has served on jury in
Virginia in the last quarter cen
fury, whether petit or grand jury.
That was the ground on which
that decision was rendered-that
the jury was drawn unconstitu-
tionally, because certain group
Of people had been excluded from
jury service, and not on the guilt
of this man, Crawford"
Pointing out that colored peo-
pie in the United States are being
driven into the ranks of Commu-
nsm as the only way out Of intol-
erance, race prejudice and injus-
tice, DePriest said:
If we are good enough TO die
for this country, we are good
enough TO enjoy the privileges Of
citizenship in his country"
Following his speech, Mr.. De-
Priest proposed an amendment TO

does not create truth, for crea-
tive truth is superficial and can,
not stand, whether it be created
in the realm of theology or IN
the realm of natural science. 1t
is not the purpose OF secular
science to create truth; yet that
is exactly what some of our So
called scientists are attempting
to do. 1t is the duty of theology
to discover truth; it is also the
duty of secular science to dis
cover truth, and when secular
science discovers truth that truth
will be in harmony with the
truth discovered by the theolo-
gian. Science and religion are
not antagonistic; they are cor
relative forces, operating jointly
and conformity for an ultimate
purpose. So the pseudo scien-
fists may continue to propagate
their hideous, false doctrines

that there are sufficient num-
Der of true scientists in that
