Turning to the Gentiles, Acts
14:8-20; Romans 10:S-13, for sun
day, Sept. 6:
The lesson today includes the his
tory of Paul's first missionary jour
ney, preaching in Antioch Of Psydla,
Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe. The
Jews became jealous of PauPs pop
ularity and melted persecution,
even stoning Paul who did not fal-
ter, but retraced his steps, calling
on converts.
V. 8. ''And there sat a certain
man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
being a cripple from his mothers
womb, who never had walked" Of
ten when one is afflicted, a spiritual
condition prevails that makes faith
in Christ easy.
v. 9, 10. "The same heard Paul
speak; who steadfastly beholding
him, and perceiving that he had
faith to be healed, said with loud
voice, Stand upright on thy feet.
And he leaped and walked Paul
noted the effect of his preaching
and detected real faith in the lame
man which made possible the work

was accompanied by action-he
walked and leaped, possibly for joy.
V. II. sAnd when the people
had seen what Paul had done, they
lifted up their voices and saying in
language of Lycaonia. The gods are
come down to us in the likeness of
men," The power of God is not to
be concealed. Let the world see and
know. II Satan cannot prevent peo-
pie hearing the gospel, his next
move is to make them misunder-
stand it.
V. 12. "And they called Barna-
bas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
because he was the chief speaker" +"
These were names of heather gods
supposed to assume human form at
times; Jupiter the father of the
gods applied to Barnabas because he
was the larger; Mercurius the mes
senger, the god of oratory, applied
to Paul. Some make the Bible fit
their ideals of religion
V. IS. "Then the priest Of Jupi-
ter, which was before their city,
brought oxen and garlands unto the
gates, and would have done sacri-

acted in accordance with public SEN
timent, because he belonged to a re-
Hgion that knew not God. A priest

Seek To Limit Native
Driving In So. Africa

Capetown, South Africa, Dec. IL
(ANP)-The United Party, the
controlling political group in South
Africa at this time passed a resell
ution at it's congress in Bloemfon-
tein recently, seeking to prohibit
natives from driving European
owned motor cars. This resolution
will undoubtedly be introduced in
to Pertinent at the next session.
Due to unemployment natives are
being forced out of every kind of
labor except that paid in the very
lowest brackets and whites inte-
grated into jobs formerly held by
blacks. When the native bills were
discussed some time ago by the
prime minister, General Hertzog
he laid stress on the fact that ma
tives had nothing to fear. The
Dutch English combination in char
ge Of the Parliment is said, how
ever, to be squeezing the native at
every opportunity.

IN YOUR INTEREST

In a recent address, M. W. Clement, President Of the Penn
sylyania Railroad, said: IF the American railroads can now
and am sure they can-get equality of treatment with other
Lines of industry before the court Of the people, and be given
the same opportunities as those industries, under the laws and
regulations of those bodies created by the people to regulate
the conduct of their business, and If they are permitted to give
rein to their vision and their inventive genius~~~they will con-
tinte on to greater things. They will work out their own saliva
ton and perform a great part in rehabilitation of this country
as it comes out of the depression, giving the people better serv-
ice than they ever had before at low rates.
This same view is held by other ralroad-officials. More i'm.
portant, L is held by a preponderant percentage of unprejudiced
economists and analysts who have considered railroad problems
not only in relation to railroad service but in relation to its
influence on the general economic scheme of things as well. If
congress created a railroad policy which would guarantee the
lines equitable treatment at the hands of the law and regulatory
agencies, there is no question but what they would embark on a
vast Improvement and expansion program. Millions of dollars
would be spent for metals, fuel, concrete, timber products-al-
most everything that American industry produces. An untold
of jobs would be created, and our still vast unemploy-
ment rolls would decline.
We can forget the railroads self interest and thisk only of
our own interest-of the interest Of all people and all business
in a policy that would invigorate our greatsat single industry.
Then we will understand why fair treatment for the rails is one
of the most vital needs of the times.

Grille as a ~"traior who had been

commentary on the cultural and pol

that they characterize him a trait

that made him a candidate for the
highest distinction in the modern
world. The New York Post writes
that "peace prizes established by

also demanded that the munitions

prisonment is well known.

to him to flee before he was i'm

unworthy to speak from a safe re-

DOCTOR GIVES FACTS

DR.. P. S. Moten, noted physician anC

Tiers in the south and made specia.
reference to the appalling conditions
prevalent in Birmingham. Declared
the doctor:
According to the most recent
figures available, Q934), Alaba-

death from this cause (childbirth)
To live in Alabama as a practc-
ing obstetrician and not feel the
chagrin. shame and humiliation
of such a condition would be to
repudiate the high calling of ones
profession.
"Dr. George A. DennisOn, in a
report made in 1888, shows the
relation between the maternal
mortality rates of the white and
black races. He said: Mortality
rates among cOlored are higher
for all causes and their total rate
averages about IS per cent high
err than the white. The excessive
death rate seems most likely due
to their greater lack of educa-
ton, poor medical and confine-
ment care, prevalence of venereal
diseases, and possibly the greater
greater frequency of contracted
pelvis due to ricketts,"
DIR. Molten continued: Gin my
opinion he direct cause is the
lack of facilities to educate, and
hospitals where adequate medi-
al and confinement care may be
given. That is what tht Negro
stands most in need of in the
south today. Over-crowded and in
adequate provisions in our pre-
sent hospitals do not permit ex-
pectant mothers to receive this
much needed help. There r cas-
