Christion Fruitfulness

Previously We have studied and
discussed Christian Sonship, re
newal, peace, ministry and work
crs. Now we shall consider Fruit
bearing"
Many who do not want their
evils known, use Matt. I'll as a
cloak, Judge not, that We be not
judged" But verse 4 makes us

members" of His day. These were
sinners in disguise. But He, when
speaking of the good" tree and
Corrupt" tree ". 15 to 20) said,
Wherefore by their fruits We shall
know them v. 20. SO according
to- Christ and the Bible, we are to
judge n as being or not being a
Christian, by their fruits.
No one is o can be a Christian
without bringing forth fruit. There
is no such thing as once in Christ
always in Christ, for he said
Every branch that hearth not
fruit be taken away. If a man
abide not in me, he is cast forth
as a branch into the fire." John
1925. 1t is your privilege to abide
or stay in Christ, but you may also
get out. One is only kept as long
as be is willing to be kept.
Our lesson for this week is quite
inspiring. There are degrees in
fruit bearing, e. G. teaches that He
is the vine i. e. life and every
branch that beareth fruit, He
purgeth (purify or prune) it that
it may bring forth more fruit.
Finally He says, Herein is My
Father glorifed hat We may bear
much fruit" John 1872 to 8.
We judge life by its fruits where
there is life there will be the fruit.
If you profess TO be a church mem
Der or Christian see then that you
bear fruit. If you are not a Christ
an then behold how beautiful your
life can be if you bear the fruits

Civic Group Asks Jobs

Cleveland, o., Nov. 26 (By elar-
cree L. Simmons for ANP)-A
fight TO the finish is being fought
here by the Future Outlook League
a 2 year old civic group headed by
John o. Holly against the Telling
Bell Ice Cream and Milk company,
in its effort TO obtain jobs.
Never before has the citizens of
Cleveland been so aroused and IN
sensed as they are over the flat re
fusal of the officials of the largest
milk firm to employ race help.
Since the opening of the Federal
housing project, the league has
tried again and again to replace
the truck drivers in the Negro
sections with drivers of their own
without one spark of success.
More than 450 persons filled the
class room of the ST. Paul A. M.
E. Zion church here Tuesday night
in a mammouth mass meeting to
voice their protest against the &C
tions taken by the firm and signed
cards to the effect hat beginning
that momement they would not
e the product of the company.
The lcague's slogan was being
carried out to perfect on, Don't
Spend Your Money Where You
Can't Work" is the battle cry of
the organization.
Councilman Lawrence o. Payne
ard Mrs. Hazel Mountain Walker
were two of the o~utstading speak
ars on the program. The only wo-
man lawyer of the city stressed the
point that the league was doing
more to hold up the moral of the
youth than any other organization
n the city.
Mr.. Payne, who based his dis
course from a religious point of
vEstated that it was a mystery
to him how these business men
were all Christians who are build
ers of mankind and yet refuses to
let citizens live.
Tt was Editor William Walker
who gave figures showing that 80
oer cent of the Negroes were users
of the Telling-Belle Vernon r
ducts and the Negro only made up
10 per cent of the population. He
urged the race to wake up and not
wait on time, but rather accelerate
time.
The main trend of the meeting
was seeking employment for race
youths. In the two years of its ex-
istence the league has been instru-
mental in securing more than 800
Jobs for Cleveland's youths. Most
Of the large chain store have hired
Negro girls and boys. Some of
these have been made assistant
managers as well as managers.
The league contends that each
rick handling milk or ice cream
or both in the Negro sections
should be driven by Negroes. De-
n1and is also made that race MON
hers should be employed in hard
ling of machinery and office work.
It has been limited that as soon
as the fight with the milk company
has been completed the league
plans to seek employment at the
East Ohio Gas Co. And the fight
> on.
