NOTES
By Arlee Blakey

Homecoming Day was well OBJ
served Sunday throughout the
whole day. It is an event to be
remembered in history of our
church. A goodly, number attended
the services and many members
and friends stayed in church all

spiritual sermon on "Obeying the
Voice of God" during the morning
service. Immediately following
the services dinner was served in
the dining room of the church free
of charge to members and friends.
The menu consisted of roast beef,
mashed potatoes, peas, cake and
jello or pie and coffee.
After dinner a testimonial meet
ing was in session, giving over to
congregational singing and prayer
until three o'clock when the after
noon services began with Deacon
Boyd Collins as master of cere-
monies. Rev. ]. w. Phelps, speak
er of the afternoon, spoke on
"Confessing and Possessing" Since
it was Homecoming Day a few OF
the charter members gave a few
encouraging remarks on the
church's progress. During the
B. Y. P. u hour the topic for dis
cussion was Living in the Home
Mr.. l. Hagan was selected as visit
ing teacher for the adult class. The
discussion was very interesting.

The Negro and the Jew con.
stitute the only racial minorities
that are prosecuted by Christian
nations on account of race.
We once regarded the persecu-
ton of the Armenian as a piece of
villainy of which only the unspeak-
able Turk was capable. When
Chief Justice fancy suggested that
at the time of the establishment of
the American Constitution, the
Negro had no rights which white
man was bound to respect, the
dogma shocked the conscience of
the nation and was repudiated at
the point of the sword as being
repugnant to the principles of
Christianity and the ideals of De-
mocracy. No one dared dream
that seventy years later the head
of a Christian nation would pro-
claim by action which speaks
louder than words that the Jew
from whom our Christian dispen-
sation was derived had no rights
that the German is bound to re-
spect. This partnership in distress
inevitably brings about a fellow
feeling between those two perse-
cuted races.
The Negro is prosecuted because
of his alleged ineptness for civil
lied ways, while the Jew is perse-
cuted because he matches and mas
tiers his prosecutors in various
features of civilization. By virtue
of this enforced partnership, the
Jew will become the natural lead
er of the backward Negro in COM
merce and business, while the lat
ter will furnish a complacent con-
stituency for business and trade.
The Negro is in a large measure
the beneficiary of Hebrew persecu-
ton. The vial Of wrath which was
poured out upon the head of the
Negro alone, is now spread out so
as to cover the Jew as well. Ex-
tension over the larger area less
ems intensity at any one point. A
decade ago we saw the debacle of
the Ku Klux- Klan based on racial
arrogance because it took in too
much territory by including the

while now, not only me, but every
man or woman who writes or does
any correlated work must earn his
compensation in the sweat of ev-
cry available energy.
I talked to a lawyer the other
day who said in answer to my
question as to the state of bust
ness-"there is plenty of business
to be had-but few people ready to
pay for it. People do not seem to
realize that a lawyer must eat"
That blunt but convincing state
ment applies equally well to
preachers and newspaper editors
who frequently find it hard to eat
because people do not include them
among those of whom it is writ
ten "a laborer is worthy of his
hire" I believe that the entrance
of the CLIO in the labor picture is
an entering wedge into this tangled
web of conflicting interests.
Where heretofore only special
lied crafts have been invited into
unions this icOnOclastic new union
proposes to uniOnize every person
in every business, everywhere.
This will include so many formerly
excluded workers in the benefits
of union protection that it will be
realized that those of us left out
in the mistaken belief we are not
labOring should be taken in out of
the cold and be paid according to
our individual merits.
1t all goes to the establishment
of the thought that as members of
the human race we are all equal.

given, in the possibilities of the de-
velOpment that inheres in any field
of work be it of the hand or the

Here And
There
By w. M. Smith

The affairs of Labor, both in the
United States and throughout the
world, have in recent months at
tanned such position of prominence,
and controlled so much of world
attention that l am tempted to ask
what is Labor and who are the
LabOrers, and why the wide di-
vergence among people as to their
personnel, Importance, and proper
place in the scheme of things.
Most of us are agreed that the
men in the street who lay the paw
ing blocks, spread the cement or
do any other hard physical work
are labOrers and the work they do
is very real labor indeed. g.
But as consult the old reliable
dictionary 1 find this goes not
nearly far enough. There l learn
that labor is persistent exertion OF
body or mind for the accomplish
ment of an end. It is also defined
as, toll, trouble or distress. Those
who have any part in the above
are accepted as laborers. That
should include just about all of US,
In the general acceptance OF
humanity only those engaged in
some hard physical toll are con-
sidered as laborers and the work
they perform accepted as labor.
This abbreviated meaning has
given rise to much of the misun-
derstanding between classes OF
people-become responsible for the
formation of class unions-the
cause of increasing activity among
those in recognized labor groups
and the development of more fric'
ton against them by those whose
interests they apparently oppose.
Many would hesitate to consider
that as / sit here at my desk pre-
pairing this column week aftel
week, l am a labOrer. Yet 1 my
self would ofttimes find it easiel
to go back to sorting mail in tn,

Poetic Thoughts
Can't Take Tt
By MORRIS GIBBS. Sr.

So many people tease someone else
But can't take it when the is reversed,
For they forget what rehearsed,
That it in fun but they make it appear worse.
Now good sport is one of those
Who thinks ready to step their toes
For carrying feelings upon sleeves,
Makes miserable dog with feas.
You'll also notice by those who do
Make it practice to always tease you,
If they find out you're weak and will fall,
Then at your expense, they prepare for ball.
Many people in defeat often prove,
That they're better sports when in a groove .
For the sportsmanike way in which they leave doubt
They still can be good fellows though put to rout
So control yourself in all you do,
If you can't take kidding through and through,
Don't hand it out or else prepare to pay
The agony of one who can't take it the right way
