CITIZENS PROTEST BEATINGS BY DR. NKfOPS

to the National Speakers Bureau
of the Democratic National Com
mittee by James Farley, who ex-
pressed high praise in a personal
letter to Mr.. Albright for his activ-
tiles. He was co-founder of the
Minnesota Negro Liberal League
and was chairman of its Executive
Committee. AS a member of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee, of the Farmer-Labor Eighth
District Campaign Committee, he
was able to score some very effec-
tive work in behalf of the Roose-
Observation-Disclosures combine in
the state.

Urban League
Protests CCC
Discrimination

Information has been received at
the office of the Twin City Urban
League to the effect that Negro
boys in the Minnesota district of
the Civilian Conservation Camps
are not to be accepted. The order
establishing this policy states that
there is no quota for Negro boys
in this district and that all other
districts having separate Negro
camps are filled.
This simply means that there is
subtle effort to do away with all
mixed camps, policy which
strikes at the heart of the struggle
that Negroes in Minnesota have
made to prevent discrimination of
this sort.
The same question arose in
April, 1886, but after prolonged
correspondence between the Urban
League and CCC officials the mat
ter was adjusted and our boys were
accepted on the same basis as
others. The recurrence of this
same thing indicates that forces
have been working overtime to put
this policy into effect.
Therefore every Negro organiza-
ton is urged to write or wire their
senators and congressman protest
ing this regulation. Letters should
also be sent to Major General
Stanley H. Ford, Commander, Sew
enth Corps Area, Omaha, Nebras-
ka, and to Mr.. Robert Fechner,
director, Emergency Conservation
Work, Washington, D. G..
1t is also advisable that the CO.
operation of city and state officials
be secured in this effort. Time is
an important factor in this situa-
ton inasmuch as the enrolment
period closes July 81.

Lesson for February Fl
THE POWER OF JESUS OVER
DEATH.

LESSON TEXT-John 11:23-28, 1914.
GOLDEN TEXT am the resurrec.
ton, and the life. John 11:25.
PRIMARY TOPIC - When Jesus
Friends Stopped Crying.
JUNIOR TOPIC - With Jesus at
Lazarus Tomb.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP.
1C-The Power of Jesus over Death.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC-The Power of Jesus over Death.
Life, even to the follower Of Jesus
Christ, has it's hours of sorrow, suf-
fering, and bereavement. While the
Christian is not ''of the world" he
is Sin the world" and here he must
meet the problems of life, including
the evils to which the flesh is heir
because of sin.
The fact that Jesus is our friend
and our Saviour does not exempt
us from human sorrow, but it does
assure us of the needed grace to
bear the trial and to trust Him even
in LIES darkest hour.
Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was
sick. The home in which Jesus had
found rest and fellowship was in
deep trouble. Jesus was no longer
in Judea. In haste word is sent to
him of his friends illness. But he
does not come.
Why does he delay? Such is the
heart-cry of thousands today who
call on him in their hour Of trouble.
The purposes of God are beyond
our ability fully to understand. We
need but to trust him and abide his
time. Notice that his failure to re-

ALENTEN
MESSAGE
By REV. AUSTIN PARDUE
Rector of Gethsemane Episcopal
Church

Lent may be observed as a time
of feasting as well as fasting.
Physical fasting from food and
pleasure is splendid for your own
self discipline, but even more bene-
fetal for the growth of character
and personality is the practice of
spiritual fasting. By this we mean
the abstinence from false pride, en-
Wy, hatred, resentment, intolerance,
fear, worry, gossip, and greed. That
will compose a Lenten feast which
will do you more good than the
mere elimination of candy and
movies. Also, Lent ought to be a
season during which we enjoy a
spiritual feast. Make a decision to
feed the soul and the subconscious
mind sumptuously with humility,
generosity, tolerance, charity, faith,
courage, confidence, service and the
habit of saying nothing about 9TH
ers that is not constructive.

Spono at once to the message or
Lazarus sisters did not mean that
he had deserted them 11:4-6). Nor
did it mean that he had denied
them his help Old. Lazarus may
have been dead before the word
reached him. He may also have
delayed in order that there might
be no question about the resurrec-
ton miracle. And he may have
tarried in order that their faith
might be strengthened.
Above all, do not fail to notice
that he came. He always does. Jesus
has never failed any child Of his.
The time and the manner Of his
answer to our prayers may not con-
form to our opinion Of what should
have been done, but let us remem-
Der that we know only in part, he

It is suggested that the lesson for
today be studied and taught by
considering three pairs of words
giving cause and effect.
Death-SOrrOw wv. 1926: Also
Wv. 19-2D. --.. -..
Try as we may to temper its
cruel blow, the fact remains that
death is the enemy of man. It came
into the world as the result of sin

it swallowed up in victory Il Cor.
1854. Until the glorious day of
Christ's returning when the redemp-
ton of the body will be complete
Rom. 1929, death will still be the
enemy which brings sorrow to the
heart and tears to the eyes.
But let us not fail to notice that
as the friends Of Jesus we do not
sorrow alone. He is with us. "Jesus
wept" ". $50 with Martha a n d
Mary. He weeps with us in our
trying hour. He is the friend that
sticketh closer than a brother"
III. Faith-Hope wv. 1929.
Those who believe in Christ have
more than the comfort of his SYM
pathizing presence - they have a
sure hope. Read I Thessalonians
4:14-18. Sorrow and unbelief would
becloud our faith and thus rob us
of our hope. Martha needed to have
her faith stimulated by the gracious
words of the Lord, and then she
triunphantly puts her hope in him
as "the Christ of God" Once we
recognize him as God, we have no
hesitation in believing in his mi
raculous power.
III. Christ-Resurrection wv. Is,
26, 38-4N.
Majestic and authoritative are the
words of Christ, 81 am the resur-
rection and the life" He it was who
gave life, for was he not Sin the
beginning with Cod? And is it not
said of him that "all things were
made by him.? And Paul tells us
that ''by him all things consist"
He is the only one who could say,
ST lay down my life. I have power
to lay it down and I have power to
take it up again." (John 1877, 49,
So it can rightly be said that If we
have Christ we have everything
both in this world and in the world
to come. But if we do not have
Christ we have nothing. We are
withc, God and without hope.
One can sense the urgency Of the
soul-winner's task, when this truth
is known and realized.

Elimination of proposed salary in

tually agreed on today by the Con-
gressional Joint Committee on Gov
ern Organization at its first informal
hearing with Chairman Brownlow Of

said this action is favored because

and discussed by Mr.. Brownlow. who
was questioned by memebrs Of the

Committee tomorrow at 10 o'clock
with the expectation of continuing
these conferences for two or three
days. Beyond th"+. the Joint commit
tee has no prog. yet arranged.
