This Week in
Thought and Religion
By K. L. Moody

Like as a father..--.-pitieth his
children, so the LOrd...--.pitieth
them that fear Him." Psalms 1903:
10. June goth is to be celebrated
as Fathers Day. We are to show,
by oral expression and deeds, our
love and appreciation. Many are
very stern in their thoughts about
fathers. But it is as blessed to be
q father as it is tobe a mother.
One could not or would not sue
~cessfully exist without the other.
Though the Old Testament does
not directly stress the fatherhood
of God, it foreruns its revelation
in the New Testament by its types
and shadows. The Patarichal family
of Abraham, isaac and Jacob are
definite types of the relationship
between father and son as fulfilled
in Jesus Christ and the Father.
Realizing the glory Of being a
father, there is as much need of
pure, upright, Cody men as the
progenitors of our children, as the
need for pure virtuous mothers.
1t is very alarming to see the
men of this present and passing
generation lgo on in wickedness
and sin, with our young men fol-
lowing blindly.
Men and fathers can God test
fly for you as He did for Abra-
ham? "For | know him, that he
will command his children and his
household after him and they shall
keep the way of the Lord" Gen.
1919. If this can't be said of you,
then begin today to make it true
in your life, then u young peo-
pie will be able to truthfully say
and sing:
Faith of Our Fathersl we will love
Both friend and foe in all our strife
And teach thee, too, as love knows
how,
BY kindly words and virtuous life.
Faith of our fathers; Holy faithl
We will be true to thee It'll DEATH

luere and who profiteers at the ex-
pense of Gods poor deserves to
have the milestone of condemnation
tied about his neck and be cast in
the middle of the sea.
The Negro lawyer has a great
function to see to it that members
of his race ecure their legal rights
and liberties, both as effects per-
son and property. His material re-
ward will be scanty, but great is
his reward in the higher domain
where service is appreciated, not
in dollars and dimes, but according
to its true value. The lawyer who
takes advantage of his profession
al position to rob the poor people
of their miserable pennies is as
guilt-worthy as a minister who
dishonors his calling. Herein lies
the superlative opportunity of the
educated Negro of the present day
and generation.
He should qualify himself by TAX
ing advantage of the deepest and
highest educational privileges that
dollege and culture afford, and
should consecrate himself in the
spirit of self-sacrifice to serve his
race without stint or limit in the
high places of intellectual, social,
moral and spiritual leadership.
Herein lies the wide open door of
hope to the youth of the present
generation, but if they persist in
the quest of greed, glamour and
glory of the white world they will
bring down upon their W heads,
and that of the race, self-execu-
ton of all the woes and calalnaties
which the Hebrew prophet foretold
would befall the children of Abra-
ham.
If the 1000 Negro college grad
yates who take their degrees in
June and the college generations
which are to follow them, viii en-
brace their task in this spirit, they
will save their race from the inn
pending wrath which may not 9TH
ervise be averted.

Two of the most interesting and
novel courses ever included on the
program of the local recreational
and educational branch of the WPA
directed by Mis- Edna Harmon, will
start next week under the super
vision Of Albert Dobkins and Pat
rick Kelley, staff members.
The course conducted by Mr.
Dobkins Monday and Tuesday even
ings from to 8 o'clock has been
temporarily classified as Modern
Problems in Government. Miss
Harmon is looking for a more ap-
propriate title, inasmuch as the
present name does not fully describe
the elements of the class.
According to Mr.. Dobkins, the
class will deal with questions which
confront the ordinary man today;
such as the social security act, the
place and value of consumers CO.
operatives, problems in connection
with labor unions, discussions on the
supreme court of the U. s., and
items In connection with the produc-
tive capacity of America.

Der heretofore unheard Of, Is a

ally lead to the establishment Of q

come better acquainted with the

fit of students of Shakespeare, but

this way hoping to encourage the
pupils to discuss the man and his
work. Many persons have shown
interest In this course and 1t is
expected large number will report
