NEGROES THANK
GREAT BRITAIN FOE
ETHIOPIAN DEFENSE

II ONDON, Oct. II, (ANP)-All the worlds 200,
~ 600, 600 Negroes will thank Great Britain ever
lastingiy if she comes to the aid of Ethiopia in her
efforts to stave off Italian invasion, states Eric
Walrond, well known Negro journalist and fiction
list now living in England. On the other hand, If
Britain does not intervene to stop it, the 5O,OOO,-
900 Negroes in her empire will feel they have been
seriously let down, the writer asserts.
'tFor more than a century a great tide Of color
has been beating against the age-old barriers of the
white conscience" Walrond says. "You may say
that the white world has managed to acquire its
paramount position, its wealth and its culture, with
out more than a cursory interest in the private and
corporate contribution which the Negro has made
to that wealth and to that culture.
''Only one Power appears to have realized it's
debt to the black folk-Great Britain, which is at
this moment not only fighting for world peace, but,
with all the pacific means at her disposal, to pre-
serve one small and Independent section of the Ne
gro race"
Walrond points out Ethiopia is a symbol Of the
destiny Of the worlds Negro millions. The attack
on Abyssinia is not a colonial venture; it is a trial
to prove whether the most advanced mind and con-
science of the white people can remain satisfied by
the new reaction which will confirm the hideous
slavery of the past.
With incredible labor, through generations Of
bruised bodies and broken souls, they have climbed
to a position from which they justly claim to have
earned complete equality with the white race. But
what is equality worth if it is threatened periodical
ly with naked force?' the writer asks.
The journalist sets forth constant Illustrations of
Negro liberty everywhere which has bound them
together. For reasons of racial integrity they do
not wish war on Ethiopia. Mussolini, by so doing,
sets back the hands Of the clock. But IL Duce can
not turn back.
eff given a free hand in Africa he will stand a
chance of kindling a violent war. between the black
and white races, which can only react disastrously
on the position of the great Colonial Powers" Wal
rond sets forth. "Two hundred million people can
not for ever watch with complacence their destiny
being torn by bayonets.
Gas a proof Of the world wide solidarity Of the
Negro this unrest is not confined to the highly
educated and super raceconscious blacks of parts
of the United States and the British Empire, but is
spreading Enthusiastically through the Negro popula-
tions Of Egypt and the Sudan into that impene-
trable heart of darkness which is the Jungle.
ALREADY the Negroes Of the Gold Coast, Nj
geria, and the Cape are FESTIVE. But they, all Of
them, are prepared to rally with all the means at
their disposal to support Great Britain in her eff
forts for peace and racial JUSTICE

We have not failed if days and years
Have all been spent in doing good,
Fen tho we've not done what we
would,
And we're beset with doubts and

We have not failed, tho may seem 50,
And it be thus by others viewed,
And many show ingratitude
For deeds Of kindness we may show.
We have not failed, cen tho our goal
Has not been reached, if verify.
We've tried, in all sincerely,
With powers of body, mind and soul.

WEEKLY SHORT
SERMON
BY DR.. A. G. Bearer
(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Do

Text: Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might-Ecc.
9:10.
The verb in this text is a little big
word. 1t is small in number Of let
tiers, in space required to write it, but
in its import it is as full as
life; it concerns all time-and eterni-
ty.
l. 1t Is in the Active Voice. 1t pre-
sents the subject as acting-as re-
quired to act. 1t il in the imperative
mood, for there is the stern necessi-
ty that one should be constantly do
ing. So it is evident that every one
has something to do-and should be
cup and DOING.
2. The Adverbial Element Consid-
cred. The adverbial element tells
how n should do. The term might
include opportunities, possibilities,
physical strength and mental capa-
city. 1t includes the endowments of
body, mind and soul all combined.
3. The Object Complement Is Posi-
tive but Indefinite. No special ask is
specified but the text Whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might" would indicate that every
where the hands will find something
and III Il incumbent III ~ vvha+ovar
may be in reach.
4. The Urgency Manifest. The rea-
son for this urgency as to time, op-
portunity and strength is made very
plain in the statement "for there is
no labor, nor work, nor device in the
grave whittier thou goest.

Must Help Make World

ct is not merely ignorance,
no runskilled effort that the Ne
gro must overcome, but he must
through simple faith attain the
will which will enable him to feel
in the midst of a dominant civil
ization, that the world is not yet
made and that he can have a hand
in making it.
eff you give up your theologic-
al inhibitions and philosophical
Instructions that stand in the way
of obedience to the will of God
then you may attain a sense of
we'll being and incipient power
which will emancipate and Hber-
alize both mind and soul
"The diseased sense Of subor-
dinatlOn to a Roman empire was
overcome by Christ, when He
realized it was not necessary for
Him to be like a Roman nor an
associate Of Romans to violate
His self respect and ems Of i'm
portance. He never bought a tick
ct to Rome, nor reported to His
congregations that He had talked
with Roman senators or princes.
"With all its weaknesses mani
tested today, the Christian rellg-
ion is still a contender for control
OF the will Of mankind. From a
lowly beginning arose the Spirit
that outlasted the Jewish state
and the Roman empire, and will
outlast every other dominant cul-
ture of the world"
