Racial and religious intolerance in Germany, under

The edict prohibits thrty-fve thousand high-power-

heights to which Germany rose before the

A BLOODY RECORD

According to statistics just issued by Tuskegee In
stitute, twenty American citizens ynched in the
United States last year. Of this number eighteen were
coored and two white increase of five the record
for the previous year.
This is indeed bloody record and a disgrace to a
Avked Christian country 1t is not surprising that the
Germans point with to American protests against the
persecution of Jews under Hitler No wonder they turn
their and suggest that Uncle Sam first put stop
nchngs and gang terrorism in this country before at
tempting to protest against the persecution of victims in
foreign lands.

cath by mobs, in violation of the laws of the land

At the morning service, Sunday,
Dec. goth, Rev. Porter. the pastor,
delivered a forceful and helpful
sermon, saying among other things
that the time which has been, has
past; just a memory; but now is
the time TO take inventory OF the
past years endeavors. AS we look
back we should ask ourselves II
God was pleased with our actions?
Did we show gratitude to Him for
His mercies and goodness to MS?
AS the new year approaches, we
should make inquiry and answer as
the prophet Micah Of old, what
doth the Lord require OF thee, but
to do Justly and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with thy God.
This we should do not just in
thoughts, but in actions, and be
willing to serve God and our fellow
man, during the coming year. His
talk to the children be-
fore the sermon was on the same
subject.
