NEW YORK by Jacob Ander-

Tbs delay in selecting the cast had
partly hinged upon the hope of the
producers that Or. r. r. Motion

of "De Lawd." Marc Connelley.
author Of the play, whose determ-
nation that the screen version be
of the same high character as was
the stage presentation, had led him
to take a personal hand in the Sc
lection of the cast, visited DR.. Mo-
ton at his home in "Cappahosic on
the York" recently in order to
urge him to undertake the role
made famous by Richard b. Harri-
son, one of DIR. Motions lifelong
friends. DR.. Motion, however, de-
spite the remarkable offer which
was made, felt that he did not care
to assume the lead role in the "di-
vine comedy" It is understood
that he felt that as dignified and
noble and compelling as the role
had developed under Richard Har-
rison's exceptional characterize
tion, it was still comedy. Health
considerations also entered into his
decision as his physicians have
urged him to only limited time for
activities.

Workers Council
w. P. A. Series

On the whole, the Works Pro-
gressive Administration is either
misunderstood or not understood
at all. A vague idea exists that
from somewhere huge sums of mo-
ney will be passed out to get peo-
pie off relief, to bring back pros
perity. This program of Govern
ment spending is just as minun-
derstood by Negroes as by any
other citizen. And Negroes, per-
haps more than many others, must
know about these proposals.
To afford this opportunity the
Workers Council offers the WPA
Series of four meetings, November
16 to November IA. Representa-
tives of the various functions will
present their own angle of the
WPA Program. An open forum
period will follow each address to
allow for questions and answers.
Women are invited to be present
at each meeting, but particularly
urged to come out December z,
the Women's Work meeting, to be
held at the Phyllis Wheatley Wv.

URBAN LEAGUE
25TH YEAR

This month the National Urban
League is celebrating the twenty
fifth anniversary of its founding
throughout the nation and when
the Importance of this event is re-
allied, the true value of this or
ganization is brought clearly into
view.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the role played by the Ma
tional Urban League through its
many branches located at various
cities. The organization has gone
far towards making better the So
cial, educational and economic
outlets through which the Ameri-
can Negro has progressed to his
present stage. Its program Of eff
ficiency has turned out dozens OF
young men and women trained to
deal with society's needs in a man
ner designed to benefit commune
ties and states alike.
Under the very capable leader
ship of Joseph S. Jackson, the Sc
attic branch of the National Ur-
ben League has proved itself to be
Of inestimable value in Northwes-
tern community life. Where once
doubt and confusion arose over is
sues outside the pale of other or
ganizations, citizens now turn to
the Urban League for direction
aid support.
Arriving at Seattle five years
ago when conditions were none too
good and being faced besides with
the task Of opening new branch
of the Urban League, Mr.. Jackson
and his staff have done remark
ably well.
twenty-five yGc-s of success in
spite of occasional adverse circum-
stances places the National Urban
League in a position where it
rightfuIly belongs: a leader in the
field of cooperative effort and in
terracial goodwill.

SOCIETY HONORS
MATH. PROFESSOR

ORANGEBURG, s. @. (NNF)-
Professor ]. Lincoln Williams,
head of the department of mathe-
mates makes an intrinsic correc-
ton IN mathematics on the inter-
change Of limits from the calculus.
Very recently the correction was
favorably and respectfully acknow-
lodged by the corresponding secre-
tary Of the Massachusetts, Insti-

Incidently, giving recognition to
this splendid achievement, Profess
sor Williams was invited by the
council of the American Mathe-
NAUTICAL Society to be a member of
its distinguished group of mathe-
maticians. This group fosters the
fundamental purposes Of mathe

progress of the human family. I
say unto you that the colored race
is not too religious, that it is far
from being too religious. Howev-
er, if one is to judge on the basis
of what the colored race simply
says, the race may seem to be too
religious. If one is to judge as to
not only what it says but also on
the basis of how the colored race
